A sigh escaped between his peach pale-colored lips. The Supreme Judge probably thought that pressuring me would make it easier for him to put his name in the hottest case in the kingdom as a judge so that his name would be known. Especially if he wanted to be one of Hayden's people.
In his side, The Royal Judge was still holding his breath, but instead, his inquiring gaze seemed to gauge my intentions.
“What are you speaking? Do you even capable of defending yourself? Are you not in your right mind? Because you don't seem like a sane person right now."
'Wow, look at that. How could he call me crazy in front of everyone while wearing court robes?!'
"She must be buying time until her father comes to save her."
"She's really crazy to have challenged a judge in a trial like this."
“Did she think someone would save her? What a stupid woman."
A sneer bubbled up as I heard the gossip of the people around. What other nonsense did
The first person to appear from behind the door was Laura. She wore a navy blue dress with beautiful lace that adorned the shoulders. Her hair was in a high bun, but not as high as Her Majesty's bun. It was a hairstyle that Laura rarely displayed as she preferred to keep her hair low.'Ah... I remember this scene.'The sound of her footsteps echoed throughout the room as that was the only sound that enlivened the atmosphere. It seemed like everyone was breathing slowly to the rhythm of Laura's footsteps. But before she arrived at the witness stand that had been provided, someone followed her steps.clack. clack. The tapping of her heels didn't match Laura's loud footsteps as she emerged from behind the door. But apart from the clapping of shoes, there were many other things that seemed distinctly different from Laura's appearance. This woman appeared under pressure as if she wanted to outperform everyone in the room, perhaps even to Her Majesty The Queen.
Dylan flew out of the great hall with mixed feelings. He told Fuschia that he would be with her throughout the trial, but he really just stood there. Even when Fuschia was being treated so harshly by those people, he couldn't help but restrain himself.It was noon when Fuschia entered the court hall, but now the sun had gone home. No matter how much he wanted to follow where they took Fuschia, Dylan had to fulfill his promise to Fuschia.'I'm sure Merri and my son will be fine, or I, once again don't keep my promise to Fuschia.'Dylan flew high through the branches that danced in the direction of the night wind. He moved as fast as he could to Fuschia's room before he could change his path back to follow Fuschia.As he had often done, Dylan entered through a small gap in the bedroom wall. He perched on the chandelier in Fuschia's room. This is the best position to oversee the entire area of Fuschia's room.But he didn't catch the slightest human
I don't know how, but Dylan's eyes seemed to glow a little in this darkness. From that speck of light then my eyes began to catch the outline of his body. I can't get out of his arms, or the disturbing thoughts come again.He still caresses my head with his soft touch. He also whispered word for word that slowly kicked away the bad thoughts that almost enveloped my head. I began to follow the rhythm of his calming breath.“That...is not true. I'm sure your plan will work because no matter what happens, I will definitely get you out of this life that you want to throw away."Yeah, Dylan always told me that. But I was so confident in my plans that I often put aside what was on Dylan's mind. I was too arrogant to think that I was the only one capable of such sharp maneuvers to get out of Hayden's grasp."Are you sure?"Dylan pulled me closer into his arms. Blow soft air over my head. He seemed to have seen me do the same to Pasha when he was cry
From the first time Hayden had introduced him to his slaves, Raymon had been in charge of watching over the slave. Whether when he had to be released from the dungeon to be sent to exterminate monsters, or when he had to confirm that the slave returned to the palace thanks to Hayden's magical green ring, Raymon was the one who always gave the final report on the slave's whereabouts.Although Hayden stationed two guards at the entrance of the dungeon, only Raymon was allowed to explore the prison inside and meet the slave in person. It could be said that after Hayden, the people he met the most were the slave, not his family.“One may call it an obsession with the way he constantly asked about the slave.” Raymon let out a weary sigh.His body felt exhausted as he had just arrived at the palace after leading the subjugation army in place of Hayden, who was 'laying sick' due to stress. And instead of being given a break, Hayden told him to look at the c
Almost a week on, Mr. Andre couldn't touch his design book at all. He has not received orders from customers who have come to his boutique for a month. His mind was in a mess with a lot of things bothering him. So how can he draw a beautiful dress when his brain doesn't tell his hands to move?His wife, who is heavily pregnant, often persuades him to accompany her for walks, rather than staying at home doing nothing. But that didn't calm him down either. The only thing that could calm his heart was to meet the Crown Princess, Fuschia.But from the latest news he heard, Fuschia had been removed from her position as the Crown Princess and had also been locked up in a dungeon inside the palace. The news that discouraged him even more, was that the court had sentenced Fuschia to death.Several times he visited the Lanchaster residence to meet Laura who is said to have testified against the Crown Princess at trial. He wanted to ask why Laura did that to the Crown Pri
Even when I went back in time, I never knew what had happened to the Mountravven family after I left. Either they were exiled like me, or maybe the royal family annihilated my entire family, or their position was revoked, I don't know. But what is clear, The Duke will not stay silent if his power is usurped by those he deems lowly.As I have often said, my father was a very arrogant person. It is not impossible if he even revolts against the royal family with the soldiers he has gathered for years, to seize the power of the royal family. This tendency of him makes him have many enemies from the pro party of the royal family, but also gather many allies with similar thoughts.When I asked Dylan, he also didn't know the news regarding my family in the past life because it wasn't on his to-do list. As you may know, the thing Dylan did at that time was to kill Hayden. But still failed to kill the man, then thrown back in time like me.It is difficult to predict what
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
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
