"It's been a while. Dear Hickd, congratulations on your succession to the throne."

I, Ninaev Fairey, am coming to my fiancée, Lady Hicked Migga.

A fiancée who succeeded in the revolt and became king.

For a few years now, I am finally face-to-face with Master Hickd, who never made it to meet me in person.

Civil unrest in the Fairytroff kingdom and the rebellion of the Fae in the Migga kingdom prevented us from meeting, even though we were neighbours.

Master Hickd is a ruthless king, the king of parent-killers.

That's how they say it and they're afraid. Until I got here, I heard scattered rumors about Master Hickd.

Many of my subordinates also objected that I was almost single and dangerous to go to Master Hicked.

But I wanted to see Master Hickd.

Your brother also said it was dangerous, but he allowed me, the fifth princess, to go to Master Hickd.

This is because I was not in a special position, albeit a princess. At a time like this, I really thought it would be good to be in the position of Fifth Princess.

Master Hickd will certainly be different from when we met before.

Back then, Master Hickd was just listening to his father, the king. I wasn't thinking of doing anything from myself. Such a huge change for Master Hickd to kill the King and inherit the throne.

Still, I was convinced that no amount of change would have changed my fundamental personality.

"Nina, long time no see"

In fact, Master Hickd gave me a soft grin.

I was surprised by that soft grin. I never thought Master Hickd would turn such a gentle grin on me.

Previously, Master Hickd was like a doll with no emotions. He was just alive, like he never felt anything.

I was glad Master Hickd was smiling like this.

After all, I don't think Master Hickd is the kind of person rumored to be a ruthless king or anything like that. Sure, it would be true that you killed your parents, but the fundamental part hasn't changed, and you became king by killing your parents because you needed them.

I wouldn't do that to be afraid of Master Hickd like that.

By the way, it's just me and Master Hickd who are here right now.

Although the people of the Kingdom of Migga had stopped Master Hickd from saying, "Even though it is dangerous to be alone with the royal family of neighbouring countries," Master Hickd forced me to be alone.

That is a sign that Master Hickd trusts me. I was glad to think so.

"Dear Hickd, our country, the Kingdom of Fairytrov, wants to make peace with the Kingdom of Migga"

"Right. That's a good thing. Let's formally reconcile."

... can we decide to make harmony that easy, etc? Though I thought so, he concludes that even domestically, the Kingdom of Migga is rough due to the effects of the insurgency, so there is no time to be at war or anything with its neighbours.

It is true that even on the road the effects of the rebellion or within the Kingdom of Migga were quite rough.

Besides, I was just a little embarrassed because Master Hickd laughs gently at "I'm not hostile to Nina's country".

Though his chest was dodgy, he managed to calm down his feelings.

That's what Master Hickd tells me with his magical face.

"Nina, you better dissolve your engagement with me."

"... why would you do that?

"I killed the king and became king. I don't even know when I'm going to be undercut the same way. Besides, I'm trying to reform this country more and more. The result would be to buy a lot of resentment. I don't want Nina in that position."

I think Master Hickd is an honest man.

He says those words from the bottom of his heart because he doesn't want to lie to me.

Worried about me, I know what you're saying about me. Master Hickd said you could cut yourself loose even before the revolt broke out.

He's telling me that maybe I should disengage him because he thinks it's for me.

I know that. Still, I...

"I don't like it."

That's what I said.

And I will stare straight at Master Hickd, who opens his eyes, and tell him.

"I did man to Lord Hickd's rebellion. You're already an accomplice at that point. I don't have the option of staying involved so far but not now.

Besides, if I dissolve my engagement with Mr. Hickd here, he'll get all the hate and other emotions from around him, right? I don't want to leave Master Hickd alone.

You may not be alone when you become king. But it seems like you're going to hold it in by yourself. I don't want you to hold me alone. I know you're thinking about me and telling me I should cancel my engagement.

But I want to take it with you, carry it, live it, whether it's resentment or hard on your eyes. "

... I was embarrassed to say something like that after I said it.

Master Hickd never got angry with my rude remarks about my king and laughed.

"Ha, Nina's the same. You're gonna have a hard time, huh?

"That's okay. I want to struggle with Master Hickd! And I'm saying,"

If I say so, Master Hickd laughs again,

"Nina, thank you"

And he laughed gently.

- Princess, come to the king.

(The princess turns to her fiancé, who has become king, and declares herself to bear the hardship)
