The Evil Queen’s Beautiful Principles

The next time I woke up, I saw the most familiar ceiling.

"... you're back."

I get up with my sight fluttering.

What happened after that?

Is Alicia safe?

I tried to stand up to make sure, but I couldn't put any strength into my body.

"... did you wake up?"

The voice of the man I heard as I fell came down.

"Ahh... it was you." Marquis "

I finally remembered my face.

Maybe I met him once or twice before he was sealed up in the tower.

He is one of the five most powerful of the nation's nobles, known as the Five Marquises.

"More than that, Alicia!?

"Alicia?... oh, if it's a fallen girl, there's nothing wrong with life."

"Yes... good."

Once again, let out a breath of relief.

"So, why is the Marquis there?

…… The five houses that give us the Marquis are the ones that, if we go back, help us use the treasure sword that consumes enormous magic. In other words, it is a house where magic is poured into the treasure sword. My magic was poured into the treasure sword, so I realized that the treasure sword had been used. "

I've never heard of such a role being assigned to the Five Houses.

"... did the other four Marquises realize that I used a treasure sword?

"No, you're not aware of anything but me. No one has ever given up magic. No matter what... every house has abandoned its service for generations."

"That's right...."

I turned my eyes to the Marquis, thinking that negligence was a good thing.

"Still, why did the sword come to me?... did something happen to your father?!

The sword is inherited when the ancestral king dies... or when he receives the crown at the ceremony.

Of course, I never received the crown, so I can only assume that something happened to your father.

"... when the princess put out her treasure sword, 'OK', the king was a healthy victor. That's why I don't know.... the king is alive and the princess has not received the crown... why the princess has inherited the sword. There is no such precedent in the history of the kingdom."

"Wait a minute. What do you mean when I put out my treasure sword? No way...."

"... as you can imagine. The King is dead. And at the same time, the queen."

"... not just your father, but your mother."

Divergent from the Marquis, leaning down.

I can't let the Marquis, who doesn't know if he's my enemy or my ally, see through my heart.

He swallowed his teeth and squeezed his hand so hard that blood seeped.

"..... Who did this?"

When I asked, I felt a sign of breathing from the Marquis.

... what a surprise.

Sickness and death are impossible.

Because they're both dead at the same time.

There is no chance of an accident, but it is unlikely given the security of the Royal Palace.

Rather, if such an accident happened in the royal palace, how many guards would be monkeys? And stunned.

If you think so, you can easily imagine that 'someone attacked your father and mother'.

"The executor has been captured, but the person behind it is unknown. Unfortunately, I was harmed before I heard the information."

"Yes, you've been disciplined for a long time.... well, that's fine. Do whatever it takes to find out who's behind this."

I was afraid.

The Marquis lowered his head and left the room.

When I see him leave the room, I exhale deeply.

The tension subsided and the whole body relaxed.

At the same time, the tears are overflowing.

"... Father, Mother..."

There is no sign of the tears stopping, as if the part that I was enduring were washing away.

I was about to crush my heart in despair.

I even kept crying to escape that feeling.

"Uhhh... uhh"

I can't control it, and my pharynx leaks.

Those who loved me, even with this power.

I loved both of them. I took care of it.

So... that's why it's so hard to lose both of us.

... it's my fault they're dead.

When Alicia was kidnapped, I overestimated my power and didn't ask anyone for help.

And as a result, Alicia was about to die trying to protect me... and a treasure sword appeared to me.

The Marquis said.

"When the princess put out the treasure sword, 'well,' the king was a healthy victor."

Which means your father couldn't put out his treasure sword when he was attacked.

If only your father had a treasure sword... he would have defeated the raider.

Because treasure swords have that much power.

If I hadn't been forced to inherit the sword... neither my father nor my mother would have died.

Regret and self-blame annoy me.

It was important... but I lost it.

It was my fault that I lost it.

... painful.

It's so sad, sad, it's so painful that you're going to have to do something about it...

It's going to sink into deep regret.

If you don't drown, your eyes will be filled with tears to shed untold suffering.

But the pain never subsided.

... that night I kept crying.

Whether your voice dies, your tears will not die.

I just kept crying.
