From the pieces of information that Dylan gave when he visited here, the residents of the capital have great sympathy for Hayden. They hailed Hayden, the Crown Prince, as a responsible and generous man. Even though he was hit by a disaster in the form of his wife's betrayal, he still carried out his duties as a knight leader who protected the land of Drachentia from monsters.
The support from the nobility is no less overwhelming. Many reached out to help overthrow the position of Duke Mountravven who was considered to overshadow the complete power of the royal family.
Most importantly, the current vacancy of the position of the Crown Princess made the noble families blind to opportunities. Especially for families who have daughters of marriageable age. Or even if they don't have a direct descendant daughter, they adopt the daughter of a close relative to be proposed as the new Crown Princess candidate.
I heard from Dylan that Her Majesty the Queen is busy holdin
I glared at Raymon who at that time was just standing behind Hayden carrying a big torch. I didn't catch any expression of sympathy on his face, and it was annoying! Then I charge at him with a powerful running to create a deafening sound of metal bars clashing.“Some like like him could kill me in a place like that! And monsters too! Argh! How could you throw me in that place?!”"I'll protect you there. I will visit you often, also send you all the things you want be it a dress, jewelry, dessert, or anything else. So please, be calm and do nothing until I can persuade them.”I calmed down again. "...Are you sure?""Yeah."“Are you still going to visit me at that place? You know I'd go crazy if I didn't see you, Your Highness. I love you so much." I plead."Yeah, I know... I know. I love you too.""Then what should I do now?""You just wait patiently for the news in this place."'Huh? So you inten
"Alright milady, what can I help you with?"“First, make a fireball. Then... shape them as your proud firefly troop.”I couldn't be more proud of Merri whose magical abilities are increasing. Now, she can modify her fire magic in various forms, even without the help of Tuyul and Mbayul.Oh, speaking of Tuyul and Mbayul, we haven't communicated with each other even once since Pasha's birth. If you do the math, it's been almost six months, and we still haven't heard from them.I was quite worried about how they were doing that Merri and I visited the forest near the temple. But since neither of us ever visited the fairy forest that the two fairies mentioned before, we don't know where the exact place is.But as they often tell me: no news is good news, so I just have to patiently wait for our reunion. They said they liked long sleeps, sort of hibernating like bears, so they said not to worry about it. Come to think of it, they too had sle
Hi, this is Merri.I have no one left in this world, except for Milady. But now, I have one more person I want to give my whole soul to, and that is milady's son, Pasha. My wish came true with the birth of Pasha as I always hoped to meet milady's descendants. Ugh, I want to cry again when I remember the moment of his birth. Anyways,Milady always said that her son was adorable and smart, but I had other thoughts.Sure, Pasha is an adorable baby, but his adorable side is made-up when he's with me. Often I found it felt like he was forced to act like a normal baby. I've seen him roll his eyes when he heard that a**hole, I mean Hayden, talking to milady. Not only that, I also often see him changing his expression like an adult who hides his feelings through expressions."My prince, just now... you...?"When he noticed that I caught the change in his expression that was uncharacteristic for a baby, he smirked at me instead. Literally smirking at me! Li
Laura knelt before the iron bars. The bottom of her beige dress spread across the dirty floor."Lady Laura!" cried Merri."...Laura."Although I could smell the fragrance of the perfume she was wearing, the fragrance was soon replaced by a strong sour smell. And because I switched off my magic, the bad smell pierced the nose even more.Merri was still begging Laura not to kneel in this place. Merri's hand reached out of the prison through the narrow gap of the iron bars. She tried to reach Laura's hand which was tightly clenched above her thigh."Come on, get up please, Lady Laura."While Merry was frantically trying to make Laura move, Laura kept her gaze on me instead. I saw her gaze is so firm and sure. Then after a long silence, she opened her mouth again.“Your Highness, please...”I let out a short breath. “First, I am no longer a Crown Princess. And second, I won't do it."Laura had a better life
Hayden couldn't understand whether his heart was running rashly, as well as the cold sweat that was running down the nape of his neck at this moment was caused by his body's condition, or because of Fuschia.When he looked at the clock on the wall, it was only less than an hour before Fuschia would be executed. He even ignored the words of the palace doctor to rest his body. He also did not notice the clothes he was wearing when he came out of the palace. With makeshift clothes that have not been worn neatly like a Crown Prince, he rides a horse that has been provided in front of his residence.Raymon and several other bodyguards also followed Hayden's departure. With great speed, Hayden passed through the palace gates."Yep!" Hayden whipped his horse to make it run faster, even though his horse was known to be the fastest horse in the kingdom.“Your Highness! Please be careful! ...Your Highness?” Raymon kept calling him, but Hayden didn't hee
I didn't pay much attention before, but this event really resembled a festival. With people cheering loudly and pelting stones at the stage, as well as drumming that enlivened the atmosphere. All eyes were on me as if I was the main star. Oops, I'm the main star for this evening's event.The two executioners had prepared with their greatswords in the center of the stage. They both have big, muscular arms, but they're not that intimidating. Maybe because I'm getting used to Dylan's body being that big somehow. The two executioners wore head coverings that only had holes in their eyes part.I never knew why there were two executioners standing by on the spot when even one person could separate my head from my body.'What a waste of royal funds.'I also never knew that there were so many pebbles strewn across the streets that they didn't seem to run out of stones to throw at me.But more than that, I wonder if the nobles present to witness my executio
Finally, the male lead appears!"My Prince!" I shouted to the best out of my lungs. I had to make sure that the sound of my screams was grievous enough even at that distance.It was the quickest way to get Hayden's attention to me. He who was in the audience with the other nobles looked confused with his disheveled appearance.“Your Highness!” I shouted again. This time it was accompanied with a pitiful expression.Hayden made a pained face as his eyes met mine. It was an expression of fear that looked sincere like he was afraid of losing the love of his life as if I didn't know that he was the happiest person when I was in this mess.“What are you doing? Can't you hear me?! Let her go!" Hayden shouted at the executioner who grabbed my hair.With a confused face, the executioner looked alternately at the Court officer and Hayden while loosening his grip but still won't let go of me. From his behavior, it could be seen that
The sun had passed through the horizon, replaced by a starry moon that still peeked shyly behind the overcast clouds. People's curses still ring in my ears even though we have left the capital's gates. I looked up at the darkening sky. I don't think it rained when we were exiled in the past.'Could this be a blessing from Lord Drachen who didn't see me for a long time?' I sensed magic particles that were abundant around us.If it did rain, it would be a bigger source of strength for me as a water wizard. That way we can escape them by creating a huge flood with my magic. But, I still like my original plan, tho."Milady, we won't see Tuyul and Mbayul again?"I put my arm around Merri, then rested her head on my shoulder. I understand how Merri feels. I miss those two wandering fairies as well, but what can we do if they are determined to hide their whereabouts?And as far as I know, they can't travel too long to other places because they need to eat
