Answer Me, My Prince

#18.

Dear Lady Cordelia.

This is Veder Lang.

I'm sorry that I lost the letter to Prince Archie. I didn't know you'd trust Prince Archie so much. Isn't he the one who took care of the bookcase in the first place? He's our prince, but he has a very bad hand habit.

However, it is a great pleasure to be able to write such a letter with confidence when our secrets are discovered.

In particular, I have something to tell you about the archive you asked about.

I don't know how this magic box was made. But what I can tell you is that this locker is definitely related to the House of Windsorton. Princess Edwina brought this box to the monastery for the first time.

To explain this story, I must first tell you the story of the war between the Empire and the Kingdom of Windsorton, which took place more than 30 years ago.

It's a painful history for us, Windsorton. Winserton was completely defeated, and not enough, our prince, Prince Edwin, was killed. King Alfred had to kneel before the Emperor to find the prince's severed neck or body.

And the brazen empire demanded Princess Edwina in exchange for a truce. Ten years after the prince's death, the only remaining heir, Princess Edwina, was held hostage. It was too much, but Winserton couldn't say no at the time.

Lady Cordelia, are you familiar with military science?

I'm a person who lives in a monastery, so I don't know much about that. But I've heard that the royal family who took them as pawns should be treated to some degree. But not in the case of the Roitlingen Empire.

You can imagine what it would have been like to have Princess Edwina's life in the Empire, given that most of the maidens and maidservants who went to the Empire with Princess Edwina were killed and only half of them returned.

But neither you nor the people of Windsorton knew that Princess Edwina was having such a hard time. The Princess always wrote that Roitlingen was a very fun and exciting place in her letters once a month, and the letter was so cheerful that her Majesty was worried that she might fall in love with him too much.

All that came to light three years after Princess Edwina went to the hostage. It turned out to be very princess-like.

What happened?

Well, instead of sending her to the Empire, we wanted to introduce her to you, but the girl who called her Princess is shaking with a veil over her face and her hair.

She was a little girl with a weak physique, but she was always tough and bold. Even though you've been working hard as a hostage for three years, you're not that nervous. As a substitute, Count Alpius thought it was strange that he had seen the princess since he was young.

"Princess, show me your face."

When he said that, he walked up the princess' veil, and there's a red-haired, brown-haired girl in there, crying, right?

The Earl of Alpiers was dumbfounded. It's like, you killed our princess in the Empire, and you sent her to be a princess.

Lady Cordelia, as we speak, Count Alpiers was a defeated nation and he was bold enough not to let this go.

...to put it briefly, he was famous for his ins and outs and his temper.

He really didn't think about the future at all and immediately gave a cry from the Empire's inner room.

"How can you bring a princess of a country to a hostage and kill her and pretend to be a princess with her child to hide her death!"

I was embarrassed by Roy Tlingen as well. The count of the defeated nations was like a madman, and I'm sure it was. You didn't know that this was what happened. The people of the Empire didn't even know the face of our princess, and they brought her in knowing that she was Princess Edwina.

The truth of the case came to light when Count Alpiers told her to lead her to the place of Princess Edwina. The count was so proud that I hesitated without realizing it, and the place of the princess who led me from the empire was horribly ruined.

The empire seems to have locked up our princess and the Windsorton in a miserable, impoverished place like that prison, and not even given them food and cleanliness.

At the time, he was at war with Windsorton, Vallea, and Aldar, so he thought he could not waste his food on the people of other countries.

The Eucharist was always ready at meal time, but it was only for one person, the princess. The women of the Empire came and watched, and when the princess finished her meal, she took what she had left. The rest of the maidens and maidservants lived on a few grains of rationed potatoes as food. How did they survive, but they all became thin shortly after they arrived in the Empire.

Because there was a food warehouse nearby, sometimes I risked my life to secretly bring food, and some of the Imperial ladies threw it away like it was a pity, but it gradually became not enough.

In addition, the monthly distance of the women in the city was also a problem. All the cleanliness and thick underwear and clothes were assigned to the princess. In that regard, the Empire mobilized our maidens and servants like slaves to all kinds of things. If he collapsed while working like that, he killed him because he was sick, and if he had a stomachache or showed blood because of the moon, he also went to prison.

The strong servants who were familiar with labor were better, but most of the women were ladies of the aristocracy. Within half a year, more than half of them were imprisoned or killed.

My Princess Edwina wasn't the kind of person to just look at it and feel sorry for. Did I tell you? Princess Edwina is as witty as Prince Archie, but as tough as Princess Cecilia.

At first, he pretended to be a demanding princess and asked for a veil because Roitlingen's sun was strong. And every day I lived with that veil covering my entire face.

By the time the ladies of the Empire got used to it, the princess...

Yes, Lady Cordelia, I'm sure you're getting it, aren'

The princess herself became a poet.

Today Maria was the princess, tomorrow Lemi was the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow.

Everyone was hungry, so their sad princess play was strictly in order, but sometimes when someone started a street or got sick, the order was reversed.

When it was my turn, the ladies covered their hair in red cloth, sat still, refrained from speaking, and acted as princesses. Meanwhile, the princess became a poet. Today Marie, tomorrow Jane, and the day after tomorrow, she'll be Rene, and she'll eat potatoes that are full and sprouted.

Did the Empire's maidens really not recognize it? Well, now that I think about it, I don't think so.

By all means, according to the stories of the servants who later took their places in our monastery, she also made sick or overly vulnerable men play princesses. An empire doesn't mean they don't have eyes, but they probably knew it.

I heard later that Roy Tlingen's second prince worked hard to help the princess. Unlike the emperor and my brother, who were fighters, he was rumored to have no talent for radish and not to be loved by the emperor because he was a child and only learned magic.

It makes sense that he felt pity for the lonely Princess Edwina like me and helped him.

But I want to believe that there are people who came out of their minds and helped us, not because of the orders of the Second Prince.

They could not have turned a blind eye to the people who are starving and trapped like prisons at the very end of the palace because they are human beings and cannot eat properly or wash properly.

I also lost my brother to the army of Roitlingen in the Imperial War. I hate him as if he were my enemy, but after the war, I took care of a soldier who lost his arm and leg. We're all people, and when things happen, it doesn't matter which country he's from. I cried a lot when he finally died after a few days of nursing. Just like when my brother died.

Anyway, the operation was successful based on the kindness of many people, but it is hard to imagine how Princess Edwina felt when she wrote that she could not endure the joy of living in Roitlingen every month.

But, as far as I'm concerned, the princess might have thought it was a lot of fun. That's what I think. The princess is a bit unique.

That's why the princess was acting like a maid that day as usual. While the maid Sophia imitates the princess.

But he's coming all the way from Windsorton. I think he had to come out on his own then. Of course my Princess Edwina thought so, too. However, the day before that, he pretended to be Marie and tried to frost some of the fruits that rolled out of the food storage, but he was caught by the Imperial Household Commander, and he was in a cage at the day before.

So it's really good that Count Alpiers took off his veil.

Perhaps, otherwise the Empire would have killed Windsorton's maid of honor with a single stroke, if it had not dared to steal the fruit.

If that happens, she's the one who died silently instead of calling me the Princess of Windsorton.

Anyway, I was so lucky to find that Princess Edwina, who had been taken hostage in Windsorton, was in prison. It was the news that made the whole nation grieve.

Of course, when he found out that he was a princess, he immediately came out of prison and went back to his original place, but it was clear that the surveillance of the princess would be added and not improved. There's no way for Winserton to complain about Roitlingen.

If you want to change this situation, you're just starting a war again, and there's no guarantee that you'll win again. No, I'm sure we lost again.

Cordelia, my lady, you're going to read this far and wonder what the hell this story has to do with the magic box? But at this very moment, Princess Edwina really came to our monastery of Lete like magic. I'll also lead some of the maidens and maidens.

It was a big surprise for us. Did the princess get out of the place with blood? That can't be possible. But if you look at the leaves that are covered with leaves, it's really like that, but they have white faces and clean limbs, and there's no sign of suffering.

The princess never said or said anything about how she left the empire.

He just handed me a box.

"I have this.”

"What's this, Your Highness?"

She chewed my words very well and then put out her arms.

"Look at my arm.”

"What? Your arms have become thinner. How hard have you been, Princess?"

"It's loud, take it out of your arms."

"I've been worried for three years that you might die, but that's the way you are, Your Highness Edwina!"

"Bedder, I thought you'd be a little less talkative for three years, but you still are. I'm sorry."

Yes, I told you earlier. She's like you, Arch, but she's similar to Cecilia. I took out the mysterious tangled chain-like bracelet on the princess' arm. The princess put the bracelet in a box and gave it to me.

By the way, it's amazing to think about how the princess, who doesn't have a royal family like this, would have been a maid of honor to take out a bracelet. The princess spoke in a blunt way again, saying, "Go away, Your Highness."

"Hold it here.”

"Until when?"

"Until you ask for it again."

"Princess, how did you get here?”

The answer to my question was not from the princess, but from the maidens.

"The Second Prince of Leitlingen gave us this box and this bracelet and took us out of the palace. But you shouldn't tell anyone. Lord Vader should keep it to himself.

Princess Edwina scribbled down a letter and told me to call one of the monks and deliver it to the Empire.

Should I call it a letter, it only says like this.

Thank you, Roitlingen, for sending me to Windsorton so early.]

The bride's class was how to write letters, how to write letters, how to keep anything, and the handwriting was scribbled in a mess, but I could see what the princess was planning.

The emperor of Roitlingen would not have been able to bring back the pawn of his own child. That's why the princess sent a message to the emperor.

Let's just do what you sent us. The message 'I'll be grateful.

Roy Tlingen's second son was the reason why things were easier than I thought. He must have been loved by his mother as much as he was not loved by my father.

No matter how powerful the emperor was, he could not punish my son, who had been weak since he was a child, for neglecting the queen who was wrapping him up.

And so, Princess Edwina's Roitling and the mosquitoes are gone. One of the servants the princess brought to our monastery, and some of the women also spent a long time at the monastery. He left after deciding where to live. However, even after everyone left, the princess's locker remained in Veder's hands.

Lady Cordelia, you all know what happened after that, right? The story of the knight Arthur Gillan visiting the princess and waiting in front of the balcony for 99 days, and the princess following Arthur Gillan again.

It was only half a year after the princess came to me to find the library again.

I'd like to tell you all this today, but I think my Prince Archie has been staring at me with those beautiful blue eyes. You took what was originally here secretly, but I don't know how confident you are as if it was yours.

But I'm sure the old man's story will sort of clear up your curiosity?

Now this old man should put his pen down and finish it here. I think I'll have to go see the vegetarian work again.

By tomorrow, Princess Cecilia will be back at the palace, and the king will be coming this way to see Princess Edwina's forest. Our immature prince's path will be full of ups and downs, so please be a good friend of the prince, Miss Cordelia.

On the night of the green moon at the end of the year, the Pilgrim Sergeant Vader Langolim.

Dear my friend Coco,

It's Arch again.

With big green eyes and tears in your eyes, do you stop reading about Princess Edwina and complain that you've burst into tears? I can see you rubbing your mouth to say that Prince Archie broke all the labor pains.

Yes, I'm really in front of course. I know now that you are a cute girl with a round face with red hair and big green eyes.

On the eighteenth night of the green moon,

Archie Albert you love so much.

* * *

Clumsy arch,

Didn't you decide to stop saying "I love you so much"?

That's right. Your letter was filled with tears and runny nose.

Why are you reading my letter to Vader?

It's not in Anne Celine's manuscript that she stopped by the monastery of Lette after the adventures of finding a knight. I'm dying to know why Princess Edwina stopped by the monastery.

Sergeant Vader Phil also says that he cares about people as much as you do. Hurry up and give me your pen again.

Archie, you should get ready to take the king to the tomb of Princess Edwina.

P.S. Take care. You're still not in a situation where Winserton can send a prince to be a hostage, are you? I hate you, but I'm always worried.

6.18.

Just Cordelia.

* * *

Cordelia really likes me to be just.

Don't try to tear up the letter.

Let's do it one last time.

I'm so happy to hear that you like me so much.

I'm curious to know about the story behind Veder's death, but it seems that his feet are on fire because the vegetation of the test book you ordered is not yet complete. I think it's fun for Vader to tell you the old story, so please wait a little bit. Actually, I've never heard of Princess Edwina stopping by the monastery while she was looking for an article. As soon as the trial is completed, we'll hurry him up and listen to the next story.

Archie Albert, who doesn't intend to tell you what's going on in Winderton to get you a little more worried.
