Raydor Holy Sword War Journal
177. Queen's Tears
For the time being, the question of the true nature of the Holy Sword Mistletine was put on hold, and the captivity of Prince Neferte Aterna was to be protected in the Kingdom of Zayn.
Now that the Holy Sword was fake, I even doubted that Neferte was a real Aterna royalty in the first place... but fortunately, there was someone who could guarantee Neferte's identity.
The human name is Shanoar Zayn.
She is the wife of Granard and the current queen of the Zain Kingdom.
Raydor's sister-in-law, Shanoar, was from the kingdom of Aterna and knew Neferte well.
"It's been a long time." His Royal Highness Prince Wang "
I'm glad you're breathing badly, Lady Shanoir.
It was five years ago that Shanoar married Granado.I have never returned to the Kingdom of Aterna since.
Neferte and Shanoar enjoyed their first reunion in several years and exchanged greetings.
After her husband, Granado, was defeated by Raydor, Shanoar moved to the Imperial Palace, a short distance from the capital.
This is because Raydor's rise as Regent has led to him losing his place in the court.
From Raydor's point of view, Shanoar, the wife of the brother king, and Strauss, the prince of the king, are only interruptions that will threaten their position in the future.
In order to eliminate the grief of the afterlife, it would be more grateful if (...) she was gone.
But Raydor had no grudges against Shanoar or Strauss.
At the time of Raydor's exile, Shanoar was not married to his brother, and, of course, Strauss was not even present in the world.
As a monarch, it might be sweet, but Raydor didn't think about disposing of the two of them.
That said... even if I returned to my hometown, the Kingdom of Aterna, I was forced to leave the house under house arrest with surveillance because of diplomatic problems.
"There's only so much I can do to be the queen of honor...... I'll do my best to welcome you during your stay."Please have a relaxing time. "
Shanoar smiles softly, saying that to Nefert, who visited the palace.
During his stay in the Kingdom of Zayn, Neferte was to live in the divorce of Shanoar.It is because of the consideration that it would be easier to live in a palace where there are acquaintances than in a royal capital where there is no acquaintance and the breath is stagnant.
"Thank you for your consideration, Master Shanoar..."
Neferte's expression was hard against Shanoar, who greeted her with a gentle smile.
The destruction of the Kingdom of Aterna has not yet been explained to Shanoar.Although it has come to pass, it has become a position where it is necessary to convey the ruin of the homeland, and it is depressing.
"I was surprised by the sudden visit."Five years ago, you were so small, you grew up.Will His Majesty be the best? "
"That's why... there's something I need to tell Master Shanoal."
"Huh...?"
Nefert, with a sad expression, must have noticed something about Shanoar.Nervousness stiffens his face and hears Neferte's words.
Neferte explained how it went from the outbreak of the Undead to the demise of the Kingdom of Aterna.As the conversation progressed, Shanoar faded his face and eventually fell down with his hands covering his face.
"My queen...!"
"... I'm fine. Thank you."
One of the maids present hurriedly supported the queen's shoulders, but Shanoar shook his head slowly.
"I understand." So... what happened to His Majesty? "
"My father will remain in the capital until the end.""Given the circumstances, perhaps..." And the Chancellor said he would stay with my father. "
…………
Shanoar's father was Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Aterna.
I haven't seen each other since I married Zain Kingdom, but I regularly exchange letters.
"My father passed away... with His Majesty the King..."
"But, my mother, you and your son must be fleeing to the Kingdom of Sultan!"We started evacuating pretty early, so I'm sure you're safe! ”
"That's right..."
Neferte said in a panic, and Shanoar sighed in relief, nodding his head.
"I will definitely take back the stolen kingdom!"I'm sure Lord Raydor will be able to help! ”
…………
Nefert spoke with encouragement, but Shanoar silenced with a subtle face.
Although Shanoar did not resent Raydor for her husband, he still understood that his presence and that of his son were in the way.
I had mixed feelings about my brother-in-law, who never knew when he would be an enemy.
”Hopefully so... I hope we can rebuild the Kingdom of Aterna as soon as possible...”
…………
Shanoar lies sadly face down and gently puts a handkerchief around his eyes.
Neferte was in an indescribable state of mind, clenching her fist firmly.
