“Who would’ve expected Prazia would suddenly attack us?”
“I mean, of course, they would fight back after such attacks . ”
“But that’s not the case for our country! We’re Agrigent!”
“Everybody, you are being too loud . What is going on since this morning?”
The sound of the ladies’ voices from the morning made my ears noisy . Everyone in the imperial palace seemed exited ever since this morning . It’s not something happy; it was a depressing atmosphere so I felt uncomfortable . Serira was quiet, but Elene was different . When I put down my toothbrush after brushing my teeth, Elene suddenly came in and began talking .
“Lady Serira, have you heard the news?!”
Oh, dear . There she goes again with her gossip . Although I did get to learn about recent news thanks to her . I got a water cup from Serira and washed my mouth .
“What are you being so loud about?”
“It’s a big deal! A big deal!”
Everything was a big deal for you . Serira seemed to think of a similar thing .
“So what is going on?”
“Lord Zavaikal has been greatly wounded!”
Elene, who broke off Serra’s words, spoke in a serious tone .
Zavaikal? Who was that? Though the Black Knight sounded familiar… Unlike me, Serira opened her mouth in surprise . It was a shock to me when I saw her looking like her soul had escaped her body . What, even Serira knew, and I was the only one who didn’t know what’s happening? After spitting water out of my mouth, Serira wiped around my mouth with a towel . She lifted the towel, and I turned to Elene right away .
“The Black Knight of his Majesty! The first knight of the Empire is wounded!”
Wait . I had heard a lot about the Black Knight . I narrowed my brow . Who was that? I’m sure I know…
“So, how is the knight Asissi?”
“I’m not sure, but he must be in a serious condition . His Majesty called for an urgent meeting last night . Even the chancellor was called in…”
“I hope he’s not hurt too much . ”
I looked back at Serira for fear of her voice, but there was nothing I could tell by looking at her face .
What the hell was going on?
So the wounded knight was Assisi?
I sighed at the friendly name, even though I had never seen him . Then Caitel’s reaction last night was understandable . Assisi seemed like a very unusual knight . He and Caitel seemed to be bound by something special .
Although it’s not like we lost the war yet, everyone seemed so shocked about the news that the knight was hurt .
Was he that strong of a knight? It’s hard to grasp the mood because I didn’t know him .
“Our Black Knight has never been hurt before . Even if he was ambushed… the morale of our soldiers has fallen a lot . ”
“Yes, I can tell by looking at you . ”
“Huh? What about me, Lady Serira?!”
While drying my wet hair, Serira closed her mouth .
Listening to their story, I breathed a melancholic sigh, so is this world . People always said that humankind always behaved the same way, but I wished it to be different .
People do say that the history of humankind was the history of war . War was inseparable to humanity, and there were only 14 days that there was no war on the planet for 100 years in modern times . My shock when I first heard that was astounding . Even for me, who lived peacefully in Korean in the midst of a truce, war was very unfamiliar . However, at the same time, I’m used to it .
It’s like while I’m watching TV, the news about war is on it . I’m rotten .
“What’s wrong, Princess?”
When I pull her robe, Serira wondered . I didn’t feel like answering her, so I just hug her . My wet hair made my shoulders wet, but more important than that was that I felt like I wanted her to comfort me now .
I didn’t care who . I just wanted someone to tell me that this peace will never be broken .
“What’s wrong with you princess?”
“Princess, princess, what’s wrong with you? Why?”
“Do you want me to bring pudding for you?”
“It’s not a good time to eat pudding . It’s morning . ”
“But wouldn’t eating sweets make her feel better?”
I could hear the voices of the two people who were talking about me . Listening to their worried voices didn’t make me feel better .
Let’s just go back to sleep . However, my plan broke with a small knock . The lady who came in with the knock said hello to me with a smile .
“Your Majesty requests your presence . ”
