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
Even though I had been training in my head to welcome this day, I couldn't deny that the onslaught of monsters shook my heart."Kyaaak! Help us!” it was a spontaneous scream that came out of my mouth as a normal human being shocked by this mess.It would be even more suspicious if we didn't scream in the face of a monster like this, so Merri didn't hold back her screams either. Pasha also spontaneously cried hysterically until his voice seemed to be able to break the darkness. The sound of his crying was exactly the same as the last cry I heard from him in the past before his body was torn apart.The fleeting memory that immediately popped into my head almost made me limp. In earnest, I started to create a thin ball of ice as a barrier that protected me, Merri, and Pasha. The barrier is a shield that is strong enough to withstand external pressure. I created it so that whatever danger comes from the outside, can't get into the inner ball, while the things
“Your Highness, where are you going with that condition?” Luke, a butler at the Crown Prince's residence is blocking his master's departure.“…how dare you to get in my way?” Hayden's sharp eyes were piercing and cold, shrinking his guts to keep up this act.But he was afraid that Her Majesty The Queen would hold him responsible because Luke, Crown Prince's closest servant, did not forbid the departure of the Crown Prince who was supposed to lie down but following Fuschia instead.After Hayden went to the execution area, he returned to his residence in a very bad mood. There was nothing left of the warm smile he used to give to the servants who greeted him, and it was replaced with a fierce expression. At that appearance, the waiters try not to touch even the edge of his ego.Of course, Luke was different. Compared to the other servants, Luke knew Hayden's hidden plans all along. He was one of the closest people to Hayden, s
This runaway journey was not easy. I no longer counted how long we had been walking in this tunnel. The road is so long and tiring. Performing magic for a long time is exhausting as well. It's not uncommon for my energy to also start to drain over time.And when I'm drained of energy, I'm having a hard time giving Pasha enough breastfeeding.“Milady, how about taking a short break?”“I want to do that too, but...”But I can't do that because if we rest in the ground, we breathe very little oxygen. Moreover, Pasha began to cry constantly. It's about time I should have gone up to the ground, but I still felt the movement of the monsters above the ground. If we go up, maybe we have to face the monsters.“Milady, is it because there are still monsters above?”"Yeah.""Are there a lot?"I felt a tremor in the earthen wall I touched. “…It doesn't seem like much, but still too much for
Tuyul is nowhere to be found.No matter how hard Mbayul and I searched for him, we could only conclude that Tuyul had left us. It's hard to accept that reality, especially when we don't say goodbye to each other.Mbayul and the other wandering fairies are still with us. They worked for me as a royal CCTV. They were the right creatures for the job because few could see them, even though many wizards had appeared now.Then, when Pasha was three years old, I learned Tuyul's last story."Mom, do you still remember Uncle Tuyul?"One night, Pasha asked about it.Pasha has excellent verbal skills at an early age, and he can already form complex sentences well, making it easier for us to converse. He also remembered some things about his childhood, when he was one year old.He even remembered the house in the middle of the forest that we once lived in in the Haddad Kingdom, and he also remembered our battle with the monsters. Therefore, it is not surprising that later those memories returned
It had not been six months since Dylan had served as the new king of Drachentia Kingdom, and he already held the title of 'Drachentia's golden wolf.' In that short time, he was feared by the kingdoms around Drachentia. Mainly because of his achievements in eradicating all the monsters and the remaining alchemist in Drachentia.Not only that, but he also paralyzed the illegal trade that occurred in Drachentia's sea. Without mercy. And it turns out that his actions have spread to shake the economic stability of other kingdoms in the vicinity, which have outsmarted Drachentia in terms of trade at sea.Then today was a big meeting with the diplomacy of the allied kingdoms, who were present for fear that Dylan would prey on their kingdom. As many people know that Drachentia is an archipelago kingdom, I think they are afraid that their kingdom will become one of Dylan's new islands.'But he's not that ruthless tho.' I smiled proudly at Dylan sitting beside me with a sinister expression.As
My second marriage ceremony.As Dylan requested, before the king's coronation ceremony, we had a wedding ceremony.Of course, a lot needs to be prepared for a royal family wedding, but since we want it to be done as soon as possible, the preparations are quite simple. After all, we want to be crowned husband and wife soon. So we don't think much about banquets and so on.I'm wearing a white wedding dress that looks as divine as the diamond sprinkles on top of it. When the sun's rays fall on me, my dress will twinkle.Why can there be such a beautiful wedding dress ready in such a short time? The answer is because of the enthusiasm of Laura and Mr. Andre, who had prepared the dress long ago, even when they didn't know when I could wear it. Likewise, with Dylan's wedding tuxedo.“Milady-oops, your majesty, you look so beautiful. You are like a goddess!”"Isn't she more like an angel because of her white dress?""Well, our lady can do both. Hohohoho~” Merri and the others had fun dressin
The day of Crown Prince Hayden's trial has finally arrived. The sky was a dull gray, and people flocked to the High Court to witness the historic trial in an uneasy mood. Their minds were in turmoil.Dylan and I sat on the witness stand. I could feel all eyes on us. I heard the whispers of the people behind us as they were the seats of the nobles."I'm here. Don't be nervous." Dylan whispered. Pulling up the nervousness I didn't realize ate up my consciousness.Even though I heard that Madame Luxor and Laura were trying to get a lot of news written in the newspapers in our favor, that doesn't mean everyone would necessarily believe all that. Especially the nobles who might be aiming for royal power through the royal family.More so when they heard their next king was a formerly enslaved person and a victim of alchemist experiments—not forgetting that I would also be their queen."Phew."The supreme judges entered the courtroom. I know one of the high judges who sit in the highest seat
After that great battle, I slept like the dead for two days. I pushed myself too much, so that's how it turned out.Meanwhile, Laura and Madame Luxor mobilized a lot of news media in the form of newspapers to write down everything that had happened overnight—starting from the reason for the rebellion led by the Luxor Family with the help of the Mountravven Family troops to my surprising appearance.Madame Luxor quickly prepared everything related to the news as she owned information guilds. So she has planted several reporters on the scene to capture everything that happened since the beginning of the battle.And as professional reporters they are, reporters get a lot of 'astonishing' pictures, which are then pasted in their newspaper headlines.From the picture of Hayden leading the monster army, then the picture of me using water magic, and the picture of the dragon in the sky that blessed Dylan and me. Of course, the last picture was the one that seemed the most implausible, except
I don't know what just happened. What I do know is that Dylan suddenly had Hayden's sword in his hand, and from that sword came a superpower(?) of a giant rolling circle that sliced through the monsters with a single numbness. Then because of that power, Dylan's energy seemed to be sucked in and made him fall limply into my arms.I panicked because I thought Dylan was about to die, but he was only limp for a moment. Because after that, we and some of the 'healthy' soldiers explored the temple.Of course, at the time, I also didn't know why people looked at us with amazement as they said that we received blessings from the dragon that stroked our heads with its feet.I don't even know anything about the dragon in the sky. But I think it might be Lord Drachen.Anyway, I met someone I almost forgot on the way to the temple."I'LL KILL YOU!" Sarah was about to jump at me with a vengeance, but her body was already being held back by the soldiers who followed us."It's all over, Sarah," I
"Where are you going, sir bastard?"Without hesitation, Merri engulfed Raymon's body with her smoldering blue flames.“AAAAAAHHHHH!” Raymon writhed in pain while screaming hysterically; then, his body was kicked by the grande monster.Merri smirked as she looked down at Raymon, who was flipping like a dying fish.Merri thought, 'Look, how easy it is to crush that bastard. If I were stronger since long ago, then Milady and my life wouldn't be this messed up.'"Merri?! What are you doing here?" Fuschia approached Merri, looking happy at the top of a tree.“Milady! I did it! I burn that bastard!”“Gre- great job, girl. But don't push yourself as you're still recovering, Merri."“Of course! Hahahaha, this is fun. What about you, milady? Uh? Your head is bleeding!” Merri almost jumped from her position to get closer to the flying Fuschia.That made Fuschia flustered. But then Fuschia calmed Merri down. “Calm down. I already drank that potion.”"Ah! The magic medicine, of course!”Fuschia s
Fuschia stared at the man in front of Madame Luxor warily. "Commander Hugh?"She recognized the man before as The Knight Commander of Drachentia, Hugh Connor of the Count Connor Family.Dylan frowned wryly then spoke in a low voice, "I should have made sure you died in my hands."The knight commander Hugh bowed his head as he faced Fuschia. He didn't raise his head as he spoke.“I… had time to come to the Crestine Hall. There I met Lady Laura and the survivors. Then I… learned the truth from her. So please, allow me to atone for my sin of stupidity, Your Highness.”Fuschia knew Hugh Connor as a knight loyal to the kingdom. His loyalty is shown by a devotion to the leader. He is known as the 'hunting dog' of the late king who has bitten many nobles or rebels who threaten the power of the late king.Like Hayden and Raymon, he was trained by the late king and the late general commander in swordsmanship. That was why the sword styles of the three were almost the same. So he has a good rel
“FUCHIA!”It was Dylan's voice. He emerged from behind the soldiers."Dylan!" Fuschia immediately raised her legs to shorten the distance between the two.The two of them ran at each other with their arms wide open.Amid a battle between monsters and humans that seemed like it would never end, Dylan and Fuschia hugged each other tightly.The whirlwind of their minds and the erratic beating of their heart were relieved by the familiar scent they breathed in on each other. The tight hug they shared at that time seemed to convey all the tiredness in their hearts and minds.Then, along with a brief kiss they shared, each of them killed the charging monster. Fuschia separates the head of the monster charging at Dylan with her ice saw, while Dylan rips the neck of the monster charging at Fuschia with his sword.Never before seen a romantic and horror moment happen in one frame. So many soldiers thought so and accidentally witnessed the scene.“What's wrong with your sword? Why are they so d
