The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen Who Will Become the Source of Tragedy Will Devote Herself for the Sake of the People
13. My brother-in-law swears.
The next morning, when I woke up, Pride was gone.
The doctor who came to see me in the morning told me to rest for a few days, just in case.
I don't know if that was a dream or a reality last night. I have no idea how realistic I am about that event, even though I clearly remember Pride's words, his warmth and his determination.
I asked when Pride came into the room, a samurai who was intolerable and often with Pride. Then I couldn't come ashamed to fall asleep with him when he came to visit me in my room last night.
Keep it up with the samurai: "Keep this a secret, lest His Royal Highness the King or Her Majesty the Queen anger you. And don't worry, I received your order," he said with a pranky grin. I finally realized that what happened last night was real.
When the samurai named herself Lotte as she was, she bowed her head again, saying thank you very much from now on.
Then a few days later, I wasn't comfortable not seeing Pride, but when I remembered that day, my chest got hot and I rather started to think that the fever didn't have to get worse to save me.
After the doctor gave me permission, I quickly worked on manners and studies.
As the compression before I caught the cold was a lie, my head was refreshed and I could remember a lot more.
I was a little nervous when the cold healed and I first met Pride, but after Pride seemed embarrassed for a moment, he was able to remove his shoulder strength by saying with his usual smile, "I'm glad you're feeling better".
We didn't talk about pride on the day of our visit, and neither did I.
That's fine if Pride wants it, because my resolve remains the same.
After lunch that day, Pride called me to come with him. [M]
Pride waited for a word from his father when he put his hand on his shoulder to push my back.
"This is a special case, to be sure to keep it a secret even in the castle.
They hand it over like it's changed, and I take it with both hands so that there's no disrespect. It was a single note. Cut the seal without any concern as to whether it would be some kind of invitation. I took the letter inside and accidentally leaked my voice.
It was a letter from my mother who told me she would never see me again.
"To Style."
The letter "Style" was definitely that of my mother, who told me to read and write my name alone, over and over again.
Why, because that's what they told me that I shouldn't contact you anymore, that I can't see you. Because I thought I'd never see you again, so, so I...
Various things came up again within the letter explaining that Father Pride asked me to do it.
Not once a month? Can you find out about your mother? When my mother is well, she can make sure of it. Besides, I can't believe I can write back to my mother on my birthday.
As an assistant queen, I still don't know if it's really going to come true. If we do what we're looking for, we'll never see each other for more than a few years. Yes, I should have given up.
I was crying out loud when I realized that I was overflowing with pride, gratitude to my father and feelings and joy for my mother.
Never before have I cried so loudly.
Still, I can't contain the emotions that come from one tear to another and from my throat.
I find myself feeling unexpectedly fluffy on my head. I soon found out it was Pride's hand. Reflecting on the gentle grin of pride, I flaunt my pride as I wish.
I wonder how much this guy would give me.
I can't help but feel ashamed of my pride and father before me.
"Me, my father, my mother,... your mother. Everyone loves you.
I couldn't do it anymore.
I can't stop feeling pushed over like a tsunami.
In his arms, which were held back, his face buried in his chest, his emotions exploded and he gave up his head. He continued to cry with a voice that echoed all over the castle like a baby who had eclampsia.
It's just not enough to protect it.
I would definitely like to return this favor.
Even over my lifetime.
Many times in an unspoken voice he conveyed his gratitude to his father, pushed his back by Pride and followed the occasion.
Along the way, he whispered to me to hide the letter in his clothes before meeting the samurai and guards he had refrained from across the door.
Return to your room and force yourself to shut up with your arms clamped to contain the crying that is still dragging.
I look at the letter from my mother again.
"To Style, the letters alone made me cry again.
It was good to be able to read the letters, I sincerely thought it was really good to study hard.
In the letter from my mother, when she said that she was well, that the people of the city were doing well, that she was happy to write to me, that she could continue to live looking forward to the letter from me, thanking Her Royal Highness Wang for this special treatment, and that the words "I love you" had been put in again and again between the sentences, please, cheerfully, only the body was important.
After reading it over and over again, wipe your eyes with the hem of your clothes and sip your nose so that the letter doesn't get wet with tears.
When I put my face closer, I could smell my mother's, the house. Oh, it's my mother, and I felt that way again.
It was time I had read it back dozens of times and thought about how to keep the letter closed so the castle people wouldn't find it.
"Absolutely, it's a troubled thing. Lord Pride's best wishes."
It came from outside the window.
My room is downstairs in pride. I can look down from the road that leads into the garden to the big front door.
Slowly approach the side of the window, unwittingly covering his own mouth.
"Are you okay, telling stories like this in front of the castle?
"I checked with my teacher and he said that today's study would not take place in his own room, either the princess or your brother, so it would be fine. You sound too loud than that. Keep it down a little bit.
I can't hear you very well. Except for the guy who said something about Pride earlier, and then he seemed to be lurking his voice and I couldn't hear him even if he approached the window to the critical point.
I'm really curious. I'll be using my special abilities for a while. Moving momentarily into the shadows of the bushes beside which the Lord of Voices speaks.
Because the moment you fly, the guards around you are not stupid enough to make a statement either. and someone was about to keep going around. There seems to be more than one opponent, including the guy who had a loud voice earlier. I can hear voices like "ho" and "so" in my mouth.
I wonder who. One is a voice I have heard.
"No, I have sporadically stated that such special procedures… Oh, the details of the procedures must be kept quiet. By order of Lord Pride and His Royal Highness the King."
"I also appreciate the hard work of Chancellor Jilbert. But... so you still think the First Princess of Pride is too much for me?
"Yeah, unfortunately. In part, it was rumored that he had become splendid since he was blossomed with special abilities, but that he had just come to the castle, thinking of Master Steele, but took him around and forced him to run even on the day he fell ill. My brother thinks you're jealous because you're already showing up in school. [M]
Jill Baer.
I was the Chancellor with my father then. I can feel the desire to get myself out of the bush for what Jill Bale is saying.
"His Royal Highness the King was still sweet to Master Pride... and this special treatment was also received in two replies. Though my teeth itch that I can't help.
"No, Chancellor Gilbert is never sick."
"Yes! More than that, His Royal Highness the King and His Highness are not worried about the dawn of being queen..."
"Well, because it's our job to assist and protect the royalty. Master Pride is still young, and I'm sure he will eventually..."
"What a deep nostalgia the Chancellor Gilbert has. You're the one who was chosen Chancellor by the young boulder."
"No, it's a nasty word. It's just... royalty has to move for the people. Wouldn't it be as if you were saying you were free to wield that, one by one, to the best of your daughter's endurance and thoughts? As a matter of fact, this is the only place to talk about it… Mr. Steele was also very narrow-shouldered. Though the common people come out, Master Pride looks down on them like every day and harasses Master Steele in the shadows..."
My hands trembled with anger.
It was all just a lie. I have never been harassed by pride. [M] And yet, Jilbel speaks as if he had really seen it.
"But Master Stayle is young and intelligent enough for a boulder teacher to be rumored. I'm sure you won't admit it, no matter what we say. But some verses are already anxious about my future as queen to Lord Pride, and when I see that, my chest hurts, too."
"Oh my... to the eyes of the young Stayle...!
"I hope you noticed His Royal Highness the King and Her Majesty the Queen... Yes, for example, I am suggesting more than before that" Special Competency Application Obligation Decree "... I still can't manage the Special Competency Person, and it is not even clear where the Competency Person has what more capability... and this time the Steeler relies on rumors in the feathers many soldiers look for with their feet. Even though people's taxes are used for that effort. As long as you manage it, as a country..."
Everyone agrees with Jill Bale's words.
"But I, too, Prime Minister. Your Majesty, who is slightly sweet to His Royal Highness the King because of her fallen in love weakness, His Royal Highness the King, who tends to spoil the First Princess, and the First Princess, who has not yet finished her vessel as the next queen of all I can do, are going to continue to support you to the end. Oh, and... keep all this story to yourself.
The moment I sneak a peek in the face, the unpleasant grin of the Chancellor in my eyes is unlikely to be forgotten.
At the end of the day, Jilbert and others left for scattering. Along with that, I move instantly into the room again, peeking through the window to the eye position to see what's behind me. Everyone was like they saw in the castle.
I can't forgive you.
I wanted to jump out of my room right now and tell my father and mother everything.
I wanted to put the Prime Minister and all the people who agreed to it to death for disrespect.
Everything, even though it's all a big lie.
But no. Whatever I say now, I'm sure you won't believe me. Father and mother will believe in the Chancellor.
But...
But you know what?
A special procedure would mean a letter with your mother. I was talking about what was being stopped as if it were something terrible and bad.
As easy as it is to choose the truth anymore, Jill Bale's words are full of lies.
But everyone around me believed it. And I'm sure the rumor will overflow from within and outside the castle, whilst keeping it a secret.
How much did Pride do to me? [M] And what did those rumors do to me?
I'm sure pride, father and mother will spread a bad impression from the inside out of the castle.
I haven't met your mother yet, but you're going to make your father so sweet, and your pride a bad guy.
Most of all, I was angry at what they said about pride. [M] It's like she's a really terrible princess...
"If I were to be the worst queen ever,"
Reminds me of Pride's words unexpectedly. I don't like it, I absolutely don't like that.
Who needs a queen, not a queen? I won't admit it, never.
I'm sure my words and those of pride won't reach the adults yet. I'm sure I believe the Prime Minister's story.
Are you saying that you are so sweet, so wide in vessels, so brilliant, so badly spoken by no one without their support and belief that someone who cries for someone else's chest aches, so that you can believe all the adults who just have good mouth and outer appearance, like the Chancellor?
Even if I wanted to do something about it, I just didn't have enough of everything for me to adopt a few days ago.
Knowledge, trust, everything.
It's not enough to be able to study or calculate. It just doesn't make sense to look healthy. We need to be cunning, calculating higher than anyone else.
Reading and writing characters is not enough. Read people's minds and thoughts, talk to people and gain trust.
There's no point in just being liked by Pride, Father, Dear Tiara or Mother. Just "a good boy" is not enough. The whole castle, no, the outside surface that all the people like.
But pride doesn't have to be.
Those who are so pure and kind are good as they are. Because it's more for this country than anything else.
My share of pride, no... better than that.
I heard Jilbel was an immortal. Then I'm sure you'll always be there for me and Pride. So by then, I will have won more trust than Jill Bale. [M] And when I become Regent, I will definitely kick you out of the country.
I don't care what the others say. My queen has only one pride.
Whoever points my finger at me, no matter how sympathetic I am, I will call Pride the First Princess. And the more my ratings go up, the more I'm sure my ratings will go up as the first princess of pride.
... I want my mother to know about Pride, too. That's what I'm going to open the letter again. I will therefore draw your attention to the phrase "thank His Royal Highness the King". Well, your mother only knows that your father gave you permission. The truth is, Pride asked me to. Be sure to write in your birthday letter. A lot more about pride.
As I read it, now my gaze stops with the letter "I love you".
'Me, my father, my mother,... your mother. Everyone loves you.
It's okay, I'll protect you.
That kind voice, that smile, that whole heart.
If Pride promised me, my mother, and the people a smile for as long as my life, I would spend my whole life trying to protect Pride's heart, my pride as the First Princess, my pride as my sister-in-law, and my pride as a single girl, from the filthy adults.
If Pride swore he wouldn't hurt me any more, I would never let Pride get dirty. Even if I dye black, I won't let her dye pure white. [M]
This is not determination, it's an oath.
My name is Stale Royal Ivy.
He is the brother-in-law of Pride, the first princess, and the next generation of Regents.
He is here to help Pride Royal Ivy and make her fulfill her duties.
I'm here for her now. [M]
