The light of the sun was getting stronger as it plugged through the window.

Less than two hours have passed since entering one of the rooms of the Temple of Tae. For about two hours, I would have listened to Sheila.

It was a long story. It was a long, heavy story. It's like Sheila's life has changed a hundred and eighty degrees, and I couldn't easily share my thoughts or anything.

Indoor silence is a natural consequence.

It took a while until someone broke the silence. I needed to be ready. It could end up stepping into Sheila's heart. The first person to open his mouth was Faria.

"So you're saying Princess Sheila, who was executed, was Mr. Lena?

That's what I'm talking about.

Sheila nodded quietly at Faria's inquiry. For Sheila, she used to tell the story of what a woman named Lena-Taural was like. While she was raised as a prince, the only one who was able to forge a good relationship was a woman named Lena. Says the girlfriend is dead. For her.

"Lena was killed in my place. Sheila Lewe-Abbard."

Sheila's expression had pain. According to her story, it seemed to me that Sheila Lewe-Abbard had been executed because she had listened to the conversations between the Setunas. Until he snuck in here and stole and listened to Setuna's conversation, he thought Lena was dead in action.

Details of the battle between the Royal Palace Army and the Sheila Army in the Endwidge Plains are unknown. At least, I don't know about the circumstances that Abard is publishing. Both armies were said to have fought hard enough to cause more than five hundred casualties of war, and Sheila, dressed as Lena, was caught during the defeat.

Didn't die on the battlefield, that is.

"Abard's royal palace knew that Mr. Lena wasn't Sheila, right?

"That's right. There's no way a royal palace person would ever see me and Lena wrong. How much you dye your hair white, you imitate standing behavior, doesn't change the person."

"Right..."

"I don't know if I have to..."

"The Royal Palace wanted to eliminate me. Me and my faction were in the way."

Sheila went to mock herself. Ironically distort your mouth and just mock it. Maybe if I didn't, I wouldn't be doing it. That way, if you don't even mock yourself, you may even be in a difficult mental state to keep yourself.

She's in a situation where she can say she's been denied everything. Sheila's mood is unimaginable to Setuna, who is in a situation that can be called smooth sailing.

"It's settled that Sail will succeed to the throne. Default route from when I gave up my right to inherit the throne. No one was supposed to complain. Abard, that's how it was supposed to work. Yet..."

Sheila looked up at the ceiling. Maybe it's because I was about to cry zero. Setsuna looked smaller than usual. I didn't feel like I was shivering in loneliness. I would like to do something for you, but there are only a few things that I can do right now.

"Yet I caused confusion because I made war, raised my reputation, and gathered people's hopes. A faction called the Sheila faction was born and the queen's waiting theory began to boil. I'm not kidding. I'm not interested in the throne, but the world wouldn't let me."

Setuna also knew that Sheila Lewe-Abbard was popular within Abad. The Beast Princess also heard stories that she had great support from the people and that her every step of the way was always a focus of attention. The princess herself has taken the initiative to jump into the battlefield and has achieved much. It seemed natural that it would become popular with the people, and knowing the support rate of that people, it is something you can imagine that nobles and military personnel would not leave alone. It was impossible for a faction with her as its apex to be formed, and it was natural in some ways to rival the Prince Sail faction. And as a result of the exacerbation of that commonplace, it probably led to the elimination of the Sheila sect by the Prince Sail faction, who cows the royal palace.

The easiest way to eradicate a faction is to eliminate the person who is the base of that faction. It is also well understood from the fact that the anti-Leongans slowed down and necrosis with the death of Reins-Anthrius, who was its chief.

In the case of the Sheila faction, it's just that it was Sheila. That's all the Abad Royal Palace had to get rid of her.

"And the royal palace couldn't forgive that kind of public. I guess that's why you tried to get rid of me. The ban on entering the Wang capital is the beginning of this. If you were to force me into the capital, you would have cut me off for it."

"But Master Sheila went to Taural"

"It would have been a miscalculation for the Royal Palace. You must have never thought you'd head to Taural and create a major force there. but the royal palace was pleased with the miscalculation. If I'm the center and a force is formed, I can identify it as an anti-government force and openly conquer it."

"Fearing civil unrest, Master Sheila wants to discuss it..."

"If I were gone, the Sheilas wouldn't survive. Even if General Double Corner survives, he can't do anything without a back shield named me."

The application of the state treason, the order of appearance in the King's capital, and the mustering of power in the Valter - the Abad Royal Palace put various shakes on Sheila, who was swayed by Taural. As a royal palace, it's because Sheila should have been gone. That alone solves everything. Sheila's actions will slow down and disappear sooner or later. Abard will belong to the Sails.

"I should have died. We should have scattered gloriously in the Kruselk War."

Sheila sighed deeply.

"That didn't even create confusion for Abard. There wouldn't have been any hesitation on the part of the Sailors to celebrate me as a dead hero."

Sure, maybe there's a point in what she says. If she had died at the end of the Kruselk war, there is no doubt that she would have been festived as a hero who brought much national interest to Abad. Even before there was confusion in Abard, it was she who was treated equal to a hero. After his death, everyone would have praised her as a hero if he had brought half of the Kruselk mainland to Abad by the merits of the Kruselk war.

No, Sheila would have been a hero if there hadn't been civil unrest in Abad, if there hadn't been even a confrontation between the Sheilas and the Sails. He should have been praised as a hero who greatly extended Abard's land.

"But in the end, my name turned out to be the big bad guy since Abard started. That's funny."

Sheila had a crying face. It can't be funny. There's no way, but there was also a feeling that I had to laugh, I didn't know. You must deny everything in your life so far and still live. You're not allowed to cry while you're in a situation that's nothing but pain.

Setuna was struck by her strength, as well as by the weakness that lurked within it. So I'm going to reach out, but I don't know what to do. What the hell can I do to myself right now?

He opened his mouth.

"But Uncle Taural and Lena both hoped Sheila would survive, didn't they?

"Oh......"

"Then we have to survive."

"Oh...... right. Right."

Sheila saw Setuna. Eyes as clear as a lake. Those eyes are shaking slightly. Determination came to mind.

"That's why I'm here."

As she rose from her chair, she walked up to Setuna's sight. And then I kneel down towards Setuna and drool my head. Everyone indoors as well as Setuna was surprised by Sheila's unclamped behavior.

"Dear Setuna, my previous actions, I apologize here and now. All of a sudden, I snuck into Setsuna's mansion, many words of disrespect, and I think Setsuna made me uncomfortable. But if I didn't do this, I wouldn't have been able to get a chance to discuss it directly with Master Setsuna. That's all I want you to know."

"Sheila......"

Setsuna, stuck in words. Because her actions were too unclamped and unimaginable. Of course, it's true that she apologized and took it for granted. Breaking and entering the residence of your uncle is not one thing you can complain about if you are improvised immediately. But it would also be true, as she put it, that if we did not, we would not have been able to exchange words directly with Setuna or anything else.

Everyone is hiding their breath and watching what happens. No, maybe I'm overwhelmed.

The appearance of Sheila kneeling, drooling her head and begging for forgiveness had no negative colors, such as misery or pity, dust. Rather, pride and pride as a princess shine her as a noble and honorable thing, overwhelming her surroundings.

Royalty, by birth, is royalty.

"In the meantime, I understand your disrespect, and I beg you. Please help us. Listen to my voice."

Sheila's ringing voice seemed to stain Setuna's ears.
