The Unbound World’s “Normal” is Difficult

"----what?

Now it's time for Lucas to be rigid.

Felix is not the son of his predecessor, Verner.

However, he is not the son of Queen Teresia.

- Whose child is he?

Horst sipped tea in front of dazed Lucas.

"Don't you see? Well, from here on out, it's not the appraisal results, but the fox man there is the sister of Queen Teresia Sama and the child of some man who put her in his pocket."

――……

There was a breathtaking sound of Lucas and Irene in the room.

Horst looked harsh with his squirrel-colored eyes and said, "Hey?" She laughed at Telegia, tilting her head like a prank.

"We're not detectives, we're sinners. Will you confess yourself, Queen Tai Sama?

A spare expression that looks forward to everything.

Instead of Telegia, who faded and silenced, Felix raised her eyebrows in an unusual and irritable mood and murmured, "Ahh."

"That's a bad hobby. I can't believe I'm going to reveal a woman's secret."

"I was going to reveal your secret, King Felix Sama? She's just in trouble, poor thing."

Protests containing poison are returned in a pleasant tone.

"I told you. We do our best for our friends, and on the contrary, we attack people who try to exploit Elma."

Horst narrowed his blurred eyes into the form of a sword-like smile.

Uncovering Felix's origins means fulfilling Lucas' "wish", as well as giving back to Felix, who had decided to see the sights.

The room is filled with intense silence.

"----Felix (...)"

It was Telesia who eventually opened his mouth.

The first time she called her son's name, she stood up with a trembling voice and asked.

"... how long have you known?

She was more astonished at Felix than Horst, who found out the truth.

"Come on."

Felix, on the other hand, only responds boringly.

Telesia stared at his face for a while and sat in the chair again, like a doll with a broken thread.

"----ah, that's right."

Then he leaned down and quietly opened his mouth, as if his penetrating attitude had been a lie.

"... that's right."

What she said with a powerless voice was as follows.

As I confessed earlier, Telesia and Christa were pregnant at the same time.

Oversacrifice occurred a little after Christa entered the moon. At that time, Telegia also refrained from coming the following month.

Hopefully, half a month after Christa's birth, Telesia was also due to give birth.

But the day it rained like crazy.

Shortly before Christa ran out in the next room, Telesia was suddenly struck by severe abdominal pain.

Abdominal pain enough to think of labor pain.

The eyes were dazzled, and the stomach complained of nausea and waved.

A cup of cool tea is placed on the table with a forceful hand.

Telesia quickly understood the cause of the unnatural sore throat.

- Poison.

"At that time, there were many who tried to harm me by giving me the king's first son. I should have been very careful, but after I pulled into my parents' house, I was a little less... alarmed. I didn't realize it was the enemy's plan."

"What is an enemy...?

Lucas asks with a careful voice, but Telesia distorts her face without even saying her name.

Instead, Felix, who was lying on the back of his chair listening, answered helplessly.

"Mother of the Lower Eyelashes"

It's Elvin's mother.

"By Her Majesty the Queen Taiwan, she made a body that could not live without the sacred instruments...?

As Lucas unexpectedly murmured, Telesia leaned and lifted the edge of her mouth.

I just gave you the same poison.

It was a poison with such harsh effects.

"When I understood that I had been tortured, my body had already been eroded by poison. I opened the door of my sister's room at a flirtatious pace... but I forgot my situation in an unexpected tragedy. And I realized that."

Your body is relaxed.

Yes, it is.

It's a lie because I noticed a small scratch about the size of a needle in my finger.

"Something" that immediately heals the poison that corrodes your body.

It was because of that that that Telesia realized her sister's sacredness was excessive.

"But I don't know the reason, but the sanctity did not reach the child in the belly. As a result, my health was restored and my body realized on the spot - the child who was born was dead. That's right. I took the child, who came out to fall, by myself."

The same was true of Christa, whose sanctity did not extend to the fetus.

The raging holy power rapidly aged and destroyed her body, whereas it did not do so to her belly child.

Next to Telesia, who was bleeding from the puerperium, it seemed that Crystal's stomach was only moving once.

Telesia patrolled for a moment and then tore her sister's belly with a trembling hand.

Suddenly, a vibrant voice echoed to the room.

"It's a rainy day. I was swallowed by thunderstorms, screaming and crying for help, and I was the only one in the dim room. Before my eyes are my dead child, my old sister, and my living nephew. And I'm still bleeding. I was... confused."

At first she thought it should be right.

Poisoned, my child died. Her sister died when she ran away from her sanctity.

We should clarify two facts and get on the right track.

"But... what happens when you do that? You're right, so what? I have just actually lost my child, or if I admit it, I will allow her victory and power. The nephew loses his mother and is placed in an orphanage as an unknown child of his father."

But - there is only one way for you and your nephew to avoid the grief at the same time.

Add the two secrets together and paint them with lies and rumors.

By doing so, Telegia will win, and his nephew will gain the greatest wealth and power in the world.

No, no, somebody screamed in the corner of my head.

Something's wrong.

It is an act that tramples upon the dignity of my nephew, my sister, myself, and my son, all four.

But he denied it at the same time.

No, it's not.

To help my nephew, to defend himself, and to atone for my son and sister.

"Let's admit it. I had plans there. Ambition, hate. But at the same time... it meant my sin."

When the thunderbolt gradually subsided and raised the last scream, Telesia stretched her trembling hand to the baby.

--Felix.

The first time I called, my child sounded.

That's the name of her sin.

- Felix, I will definitely raise you. I'll make you king no matter what.

That's her redemption.

Telegia raised her face and stared at Felix.

"Afterwards... I'm excited to raise you. I have avenged the Third Queen and restrained the other concubines, breaking my heart so that no fool may come forward against you by mistake."

One of the consequences is harassment of Lucas' mother, Juliana.

Telesia, who finished her confession, finally sighed long enough to exhale the remnants of the past that remained in her body.

"... I'm sorry I kept quiet."

Ah.

There, Felix, listening with a carefree look, flipped his hands.

"I told you. I couldn't help but hide it for you."

In one word, Lucas understood.

"... did my brother-in-law keep quiet to hide this? If you admit earlier that you are not the father or the king's son, you will not be searched until you are not the father or the king of Telesia?

"You're a filial son, right?

The cautious question was admitted in a faint tone.

"For some reason, I can't believe everyone, but I'm still a fairly reasonable and gentle man. When I saw my mother trying to isolate herself for me, I thought I had to fulfill one or two of those wishes."

"My wish...?

For the first time, Telesia touched on the true meaning of her "son" and frowned back.

Felix did not answer it immediately and smiled secretly.

"... eleven years ago, Mother..."

"Eh...?

"Answer to the previous question. The year I discovered your... no, our secret. I was eleven."

A sudden confession.

Telesia took a breath.

"Eleven years ago... why?

"Come on... I don't mean to delude you, I don't even know why it was that day. But that's what it is, isn't it? The doubtful water that accumulated one drop at a time every day happened to exceed the threshold on that day and overflowed. That's all."

Felix has always been a smart kid.

To see a mother who is so nervous every day that she understands the royal palace to be a terrible place.

Seeing a mother crushing a capable political opponent one after the other, the more powerful she is, the more she understands that only harm can be done.

Then, hidden in the presence of a ruthless mother with a rigid arm, wearing a mask of an inert prince, and spinning his laziness and royal life, a slight discomfort accumulated inside him every day.

Mother seems to be honest in nature. Why is she still playing the ruthless fierce maiden?

Mothers who have extrapolated the abilities of the concubines and put in place unharmful restraints commensurate with them. Why did you drive the Third Queen into serious trouble?

My mother's sister was sent to a monastery with a reputation for being close in the past. No matter how much we look into it, why can't we make sure it's there?

"Careful, you didn't even try to keep your grief in your diary. I also disposed of all the portraits of Crystal that were supposed to be in my parents' house. But you couldn't dispose of the only portrait that was called the most beautiful. The painting, nicknamed" The Smiling Girl, "was hidden deep in the vault of the royal palace and sometimes secretly seen."

"Girl with a smile."

I saw him in jail, and Telesia reacted.

"But when you hide it, it's my nature that makes you want to see it."

So Felix returned to the broken tone and turned to Lucas.

"That day, for some reason, I went to see the painting. So, I realized a lot. I've always had a sharp feeling about this hand."

A sip of completely chilled black tea, Felix stared at the pale liquid level.

"So, I thought. Well, I wasn't Prince Felix. A red stranger sitting down in the seat of his soul where Felix should have originally sat. Is that me?"

A space filled with gold and silver treasures and jewelry. He thought for a while as he held his knees blurry.

Eleven years.

Nevertheless, for eleven years, I have enjoyed wealth and power to plunder and bathe the throne of others.

It's kind of...

Hey, I'm sorry.

Felix shrugged his shoulders as he noticed a slightly different manners and a slight awkwardness.

Then he thought this way.

Then let's give it back.

Only in the next eleven years and the same months will I give back to him all the wealth and power I have received so far.

No, I promise you more. Make him the most powerful country, enriching the Rouden he would have wanted to protect.

Because "Mother", who dyed his hands for many sins, bestowed this name with a wish.

Felix.

As if he were a wise man who made love to Rouden.

"I really wanted to finish merging Stalk and sowing it in the neighborhood by my birthday. A little late."

He will be twenty-two next month in vain.

--It's a waste of time.

--My time as King is more precious than anyone else's in this country.

Having finally understood the meaning of what Felix was saying, Lucas opened his eyes.

I didn't know that the tough wealthy policy was for that reason.

Such a thing is more a snore than a stopover. It seems paranoid and somewhere whimsical.

But the oddness felt more like him.

― ― Well

Felix laughs so he switches the air there, tilts his head and looks at Lucas.

"Now you have the biggest secret in Rouden. What are you going to do with us, Ruden?

With that demonic smile, Lucas finally understood Felix's intentions.

He entrusted it to me.

He suddenly revealed his true intentions, which he had so far stubbornly concealed, and pushed the fate of Rouden against his half-brother.

"You're the one who tried to hold it alone, Lucas.... now, will you plead guilty to us? Or seal up the facts and deceive the people? What should I do?"

Felix asks like an innocent child.

He seemed to have entrusted himself completely, and the smile was so aggressive.

Yes, he certainly didn't want to entrust it. I didn't want to get involved.

He was extremely proud, and he didn't want his "brother" to know what was going on, and he didn't want to be reached out even if he made a mistake.

"... brother-in-law"

"Think about it, Lucas. You can tell right away which is rational and true, right? It's madness to deceive the whole nation by covering up two sinners without blood."

That sounds like a fun story.

The conversation Felix tried to hold on to was interrupted by a cool voice.

Marie!

"Are you glad you're up already!?

It's a high demerit.

She came slowly in a less tight dress.

"Good evening, everyone. Thank you very much this time. Thanks to this, both mother and child are healthy."

"What happened to the kid?

"Gil is watching closely. I closed my mouth and slightly escaped, trying to poetry the love of the child. Is that Clement's influence? - Will you give me some tea, Elma?

Gracefully lowering her hips to one of the chairs, she can't believe it was very soon after childbirth.

A glossy, greedy, prisoner queen.

Featuring a familiar look at the surroundings to take good care of them, Hydemarie set herself on the table in a playful manner.

"So, what were you talking about? About a woman's hidden past? Or is it about the hidden resolve of a certain young man?

She smiles like a daughter who makes love stories shine.

"Or is it a conflict between killing my brother and cheating on my country? --Fufu, if you'll excuse me, there's no way I'm going to be able to thrive on such a rare theme for a long time."

Admittedly, you discard the secrets that shake a country and the anguish associated with it as something.

Hydemarie gently narrowed her eyes to the mute Lucas.

"Because we are sinners. Lies, secrets, sins, and distorted righteousness are all common things in our world. There's no reason to be afraid of them."

She spoke kindly to Lucas with her blue eyes as if she had seen everything, and to Telesia and Felix.

"Hey, so don't hesitate. If you're worried, I'll push your back. 'Cause I really do."

White fingers gracefully lift the cup of tea.

"I have to thank you for being my friend and benefactor."

Fully restored, the queen gently narrowed her eyes over the slowly rising tea bath.
