The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)

Open your eyes, the first person to come into Lotte's eyes was Liz's crying face. The next piece of information I got was Erica looking down at herself worryingly with her hand on Liz's shoulder like that and Scion moving her right index finger busily tongued near the entrance to the room.

"Huh! Lotte!? You woke up! Scion, to Emily!

"What!? Wow, okay!

Erica's surprised look and then opened the door and said, 'Miss Emily! Get the doctor!' to Scion's voice screaming. Lotte tries to wake her body up on the bed.

"Here - Eh! Ha!"

Try to wake me up, fail.

Hang it from your back to your hips and flaunt your face for the pain that sounds like a zung. Erica controlled it like she panicked such a lotte.

"You can't do this! Wait, Lotte! Because I'm calling a doctor right now!

disrespect in front of my lord. With that in mind, Lotte returns her body to bed so that she obeys her body, which does not listen.

"Lotte on! A doctor!"

Simultaneously with his body back, Theon jumped indoors with one old man. The doctor slowly proceeded to his bed lying down after putting a surprised look on Lotte, who smiled just a little on the doctor's face he found out. It was for a moment that he gave Liz a bewildered look, not trying to get away from Lotte, and he slapped Liz around his shoulder to prioritize his position.

"... Your Majesty, if you'll excuse me"

".................. Yes"

A token to Liz, who honestly left the scene outside, the doctor turns his gaze to Lotte. The doctor opened his mouth in a small sigh, shaking his eyes like he was worried about what was right to do.

"... let's be honest, I'm surprised"

"I woke up, was it?

"It's already been four days since your Excellency was stabbed. And as it stands, we're not heading toward comfort at all."

"Well, I guess so."

"Do you understand?

"It's my body. The tips of your feet are cold, and your hands are shaking. The consciousness itself is solid...... but I'm also suspicious of how long this will last"

"... the murder weapon is a blade, but it was equivalent, reaching the back of the body. Also, there is a lot of bleeding. It wasn't strange to die instantly."

"... Hmm, I see. I'm an atheist... but maybe this is the time God gave me."

"... there is also a limit to the time that that God gives. Please, My Lord, rest in peace."

"You want me to sleep?

"The act of talking drastically depletes your health in your current Excellency. I want your Excellency to rest."

"Is that a doctor's logic?

"Yes."

"Then I will give it back to you with politician reason. I can't do that."

"... is it the job of politicians to talk?

"It's the job of politicians to connect dreams to the future, Doctor."

That's what Lotte says. She turns her gaze to Erica.

"... Dear Erica, I am so sorry, could you please call Lord Matsuyoshi?

"... talk about Lotte, you, the teacher..."

"Please, Master Erica"

"-... Oh, already! All right, man!

After scratching his hair with Gashi and his right hand, Erica leaves the room behind. Battan, and just a few seconds after the door closed, the door opened in the opposite motion from earlier, and Erica brought Kota back indoors.

"... I brought you here."

"Thank you. Lord Matsuyoshi?

"... Yes"

I call Kota, hey, hey with the trembling hand I put out of the duvet. After a moment of hesitation, Hota walked over to Lotte's side like he had decided to.

"... a little closer"

"... Yes"

As if to tell a secret story, Kota put his ear close to Lotte's mouth.

"- It was a man of the Kingdom of Larchia who stabbed me."

Lotte's words strike Hauta in the ear.

"... Huh?

"However, you may consider your involvement as a nation to be thin. Because he said 'Sister Jesse's Vengeance'. The bad guy is, first of all, definitely a person in the Kingdom of Larchia. Probably from the orphanage where Princess Jessica was in and out."

I laugh because that 'royalty' over there loves to walk off under false identities - and cough.

"Mr. Lotte!

"Goho... excuse me... well, I don't know what's going on, but... They took away the chance to 'avenge' Lime in the corner. It will be a rebellion, but it will be someone you cannot resent enough to resent. For that matter...... Goho...... I have to say the stuffing is sweet. Considering the neighborhood, it would be a solo or small group offense."

"Mr. Lotte! I don't want it anymore! More than that."

"… I am at the disposal of this' information ', Lord Matsuyoshi"

"-Na... Huh? Yes, at your disposal?

"... Yep. I'm at your disposal to handle this information. But please don't just talk to Master Liz. The king over there will hit Liz's uncle. Please handle it 'cleverly' so as not to cause a dispute with your uncle/niece. May it be in the slightest favor of my kingdom of Flame. Lord Matsuyoshi, you can do that, right?

"... to me, is it? That's..."

"The Foreign Office is excellent, but I've never experienced a big deal like" assassination of a prime minister "on a boulder. Yeah, you probably don't either... but you're on your side, right? The negotiator."

"Negotiator?

"" The Virgin of Larchia ""

"... ah"

"I expect it will be enough trump cards. The point of contact for the negotiations is to the Chancellor, Rudolph. For his Lord is gracious, he is a man who can return with vengeance, and with apology for his negligence. Please make adjustments so as not to overwhelm us, not to make too many concessions, and be clever enough to favour our country. I value you more than a certain sense of balance around it."

……

"From start to finish, we continue to annoy you. I'm so sorry, but how could you, please? Old man. Short old man. Last favor."

"... that's a cheat way to put it"

"Yes, because the prime minister is a cheating thing."

To Lotte's words, Kota sighed one shoulder down.

"... ok. Let's work harder for your favorite Sire than anyone else."

"... thank you, Lord Matsuyoshi. Again, you're smart... and kind. It's our fault that we summoned you... but we're lucky if we don't consider your circumstances."

That said, the dust and lotte laugh. I had a hand to hold Lotte's hand like that.

"... So that 'luck' is my handle, huh?

"... Scion"

"What? I thought Lotte Ong wouldn't die if he killed him?

"... sort of. I didn't think I'd come to an end in this way, either. And Aria?"

"Now I'm caged in a lab, reading and fishing for literature"

"Literature?

"We can summon people from different worlds. You might even have that kind of secret trick to bring an old man back to life, right? What, don't worry, Lotte Ong. Aria, unlike me, is a genius. I'm sure I'll discover how to purify Lotte Ong's wound healing potion. So now you're going to sleep tight and keep up your strength. In the first place, what do you hear about doctors?

"... Scion"

"What?

"... you're a genius, too, aren't you?

"... what, doesn't it seem? You were always mad at me, weren't you? At the end of the day, isn't it like Lotte Ong to hang a kind word and aim for a point up? You haven't seen anything like that lately, even in cheap mass theatre?

"Sure, unlike Aria, you may have less genius flashes"

"That's right. So I..."

"But? I think true wisdom means someone who can stick to things."

……

"Something hard would have happened. Something sad would have happened. There must have been something I wanted to throw away. Seriously, you don't think you're capable. But you didn't run away. I didn't throw it out, and I continued to stick to difficult issues. I think that's... the talented person who can do it is the genius."

"... just as much as I can"

"Genius is my pity. And you're such a fool... you must be a genius with the gift of being able to work hard."

Close your eyes so you miss something.

"... since you were a little girl."

"... don't"

"A person who wants to know everything and can act for it. You keep sticking to the end when most humans give up" the better. "

"............... don't"

"... and I count on your ability to do so. I'm sure a 'genius' like you would make this flame kingdom better, huh? As you said earlier, it was thanks to your talent that you brought 'luck' into this kingdom of Flame."

"........................... stop"

"... good luck, Theon. Your talent will make this country a good country."

"Stop it!

Open the closed eyes slowly.

"... please... so... don't..."

I distorted my expression to a tearful Scion in front of me, just a little surprised - and gave it a bitter smile.

"... don't cry, Theon. People die one day. Just the difference between fast or slow. I lived long enough."

"... so... I don't... I don't... I don't... Lotte, Grandpa..."

"What a pity for an adult, eh?

"You don't have to be a good adult! You don't have to be a genius! So...... so!

Just live.

"Not yet... not yet, I need... not for me... not for us... not for Grandpa Lotte..."

That's what I said, crumbling my tear glands and softly holding Zion's shoulder, looking down at Lotte on the bed with a bitter smile like Erica was in trouble.

"... you're a troubled man"

"Am I? Or Theon?

"Both, I guess?

"That's rude. Me and... and let me also apologize for my 'grandson' share"

"Fine, nothing."

"... Really?"

"... Yep"

……

……

……

"... something"

"... Yes?

"Can I tell you something?

"To Erica? Or to Theon?

"Both, I guess?

"I've spoken to Theon enough, so fine. But, Master Erica? I owe you an apology."

"... against what?

"For throwing you out of your parents when you were still supposed to spend time with them."

……

"I'm the one who drafted it. For the sake of the kingdom of Flame, for the prosperity of the kingdom of Flame for a thousand years... and above all, for my own sake, I drove you to Terra."

……

"You may resent me."

That's what I said. Lotte staring at Erica. He looked at her like she was scared, and Erica shook her head.

"... Father, Mother, Liz... and Dear Angelica,"

"... what kind of spell is that,"

"I remember, Lotte. My favorite family didn't say anything bad about you."

……

"... willing to play 'Villain' till the end?

"... the story would need a villain, wouldn't it?

"No. I think it's okay if we all have stories that are just sweet, right?

It's paranoia.

"Excuse me, fantasy? And fantasies might come true if you wish, right?

"... Ha. You've grown stronger, Master Erica. Right. I'm sure it will come true if you wish. Everyone is sweet, such 'stories' too"

Take a big breath.

"... please be happy, Master Erica"

"... Happy enough, I am"

"More. You can be happier. No, it has to be."

……

"You who have had hard feelings have the power to make everyone happy. With your own hands, make you - and make the people around you 'smile'. Theon, Aria, the Matsuyo-kun, the Virgin, Sonia, Miss Emili... and your 'sister'."

"... yeah, I promise"

"... thank you. Just one last thing, okay?

"Okay?

"If I may be disrespectful... you thought you were as dear as your daughter, Erica."

To that word, Erica bites her lips and stares into the hollow. How long he had been doing that, eventually, there was a grin on Erica's face as she returned her gaze to Lotte with tears in her eyes.

"... it's hard to understand, Bye."

"Excuse me."

"But I knew. It's hard to understand... because that's what I thought they took care of me."

Wipe your tears and smile brilliantly.

"... So, Lotte? Speak up to your most beloved daughter? I'd be lying if I said I didn't regret it... but I knew you and Liz had to set it up"

Just turn around behind Liz, who was stunned, and push that back. Liz and Lotte's gaze crossed as they walked over to Lotte's side to step on the bump.

"... Dear Liz"

"... ah... Ro, lotte..."

"... you have such a sad face."

Reach out from the bed and gently wipe the tears accumulated in Liz's eyes. Liz squeezed the trembling hand forcefully.

"... lotte..."

"... you stood up to the heavy duty of king at that young age. By the time I was Liz's age, I was still a private school student. I didn't even think about it, like being involved in national politics."

"That's... just because Lotte... Lotte was there for me!

"No. I don't have time to name the East and West now, the country the king leaned toward because he was' at my mercy '. But you weren't. No matter how much I do, a monarch who doesn't sound doesn't. Your Majesty, Liz, it is with great pride that I have been able to serve an English monarch for two generations."

"Oh, you don't know that yet! If Lotte doesn't stay, I could be a treacherous monarch! So, Lotte! Live more! I don't approve of leaving me to go to your father or mother!

"I don't think I can go under His Majesty Georg or Angelica, but I am."

"That's not true! Oh, yes, I hate to go, but, but Lotte must be going to heaven! We're set to go! 'Cause Lotte is! Lotte is..."

He's so sweet, he can think about people all the time.

"... I will sit with the fruit reporter, I am"

"Oh, yeah! I'm Her Majesty the Queen, right? I don't have such a rewarding subordinate to make Her Majesty say this! So, Lotte! I won't allow you to die here! You're a disloyalist, I swear!

"... I wondered what I wanted this year... right. Looks like I still have greed, too. Please forgive me, Master Liz."

Say that, smile small and bitter.

"... right. It's hard for you to call me a cheater."

"... yes. So...... so!

"I disrespect you, may I?

"… allow"

"Take it from me. You were a beloved master. At the same time, he continued to be like a dear daughter and a dear grandson. So let me just say this one last time"

That's what I said, take one breath.

"- Happy or not, Liz. Just be happy."

The tears that Lotte wiped for me overflowed again.

"- Me too! I also think of you not only as a subordinate, but also as my father's and grandfather's! I want to love how much and how much I love Lotte, who guides me whenever I can, supports me whenever I can, comforts me if I'm crying, forgives me if I'm angry, and rejoices if I'm laughing!

"... really, you're a fruit payer, I am"

"So! From now on, as my 'father', you may act as my 'grandfather'! I don't even need a salute! Speak for me, scold me! If you're crying, please be angry with me for pity! If it's fun, let's have a big laugh together! So, so!

Liz clings to Lotte with tears.

"... sorry, Master Liz. That's not going to happen."

The voice is plundering.

Eyes are sumptuous.

Hands tremble.

Tired of talking or still, Lotte puts that right hand on Liz's eye and wipes that tear again.

"... please, Master Liz, laugh"

"I can't! I can't laugh at times like this right now, I can't!

"Bend over there, please. Dear Liz, please."

"No! No! No! There's no way that's funny! There's nothing fun about it! And yet, and yet!

Show Liz a gentle smile as she just grabs her trembling right hand and tells her not to let go. He leaned down, and Liz raised her face as she just kept crying.

"... lotte"

Tears mess my face up.

The makeup is removed, the eyes are swollen, and there is no such thing as a "pretty girl" face left, with such a face.

"... Oh, that's it, Master Liz. What I wanted to protect."

Still, Lotte smiles even more at Liz, who smiles beautifully.

"... Dear Liz"

Less time left. That's what my body tells me best.

"... Dear Liz, Dear Liz"

I haven't been told what I really want to tell you yet.

"... Yes"

So Lotte Baumgarden squeezes his last force.

"... from me, I will sit down for the last favor"

I want to tell you, Coco.

"... good, country."

I wanted to make it happen, give me a creep.

"... we can all live with laughter"

I want to deliver, Omoi.

"- Such a country."

That 'dream' I received from Angelica. How long has it been Lotte's dream...... such, a 'wish'.

".................. what can I do for you in such a country"

- I entrust that wish.

"... is... yes"

Eyes are overflowing with tears. Still, to Liz, who kept a smile on her face as Lotte wished, Lotte smiled, too, slowly closing her eyes.

"... but... but, Lotte? I'm not the only one with that last wish. It must be hard."

……

"So... I'm sure I still need the power of Lotte, for me"

……

"Oh, that? Me, I'm about to throw a round at Lotte right now, right? Look, just say it like you always do, okay?" Not at all, Your Majesty "! Say that with a troubled, frightened look!

……

"So, but! You know me, don't you? With all that hatred slapped, and still what time? Because, you know, Lotte helps me in the end, right? I really appreciate it, don't I? Yes, usually Holla, I'm a little embarrassed... but you really think I'm grateful, don't you? Ahhh! Lotte, I love it!

……

"Also, already! You can't ignore me, ignore me! I'm embarrassed, but I tried to tell you, didn't I? Holla, you got something to say, don't you, Lotte? '... it's bruised, Your Majesty,' or you can make a fool of yourself like you always do, right? Only today, I will forgive you! Oh, of course, I'm gonna help you with your earlier job, right? Wouldn't it be great to have a country where everyone can smile! Lotte, can you come up with a plan, too?

……

"Right, Lotte? So I'm not gonna let you retire yet, am I? I still have to work hard for Lotte!

……

"... but already ~! So, Lotte! Anyway, I'm going to take a break for a while and you're going to work again in a burly way!

……

"... you know, it's okay to pretend you slept, Lotte?

……

"... Ro, lotte?

……

"Yes, I don't like it, Lotte? I don't... I won't forgive you, will I?

……

Ooh, ooh.

……

Release the right hand you were holding.

……

Pathan, and his right hand fall on the bed so as to follow gravity.

"-! Lotte! Lotte! Lotte!

That was the limit.

Unfortunately, Liz rocks his body strong and hard. I still can't open my eyes to Lotte, and Liz beats Don, twice in the chest. And I still can't open my eyes, and Liz...

"Liz! No more! Stop it!"

"Get off me! Please let me go, sister!

Erica, who strangles Liz with wings from behind like that, takes away her body's freedom and still manages to twist her body and try to escape that curse. Liz raised her voice out loud, stretching or not reaching.

"Open your eyes! This is a fate, Lotte! Open your eyes!

"... Liz"

"I don't like it anymore! Please, Lotte, don't leave me alone anymore! Don't make me miss you!

- Lotte Baumgarden.

The Baumgarden Chamber of Commerce in Larchia, the capital of King Flame, the rare loyal minister who was raw as his three sons and served as prime minister to two generations of kings, Georg and Elizabeth.

"Lotte, lotte, lotte, lotte, lotte, lotte, lotte, lotte! Nooooooooooooooooo!!!

- On this day, I put the curtain down in that lifetime.
