“Not at all?”
“……yes?”
I tried not to reveal any expression towards him, but I couldn’t help myself .
“I heard you’ve lived there a long time . Is there anything especially memorable or impressive there?”
“None at all, Your Majesty . ”
When I was reincarnated, I only went out once; I couldn’t tell what this royal wanted to say .
“If you could give me some more details…”
“There you go!”
“… ”
Oh, why is he so frustrating? This tyrant!
He didn’t seem to be a patient man . Still, it is better for me to come out like this .
Isn’t it said that the person who gets angry first loses?
“I’m glad to hear that . ”
He had the aura of being forcefully brazen because of his long standing longing for Lania . It may have been because of his slyness, or something else, but it would be hard to show it, but I’m grateful enough because this is a great training for me .
“I wish I could help you with this, but since His Majesty is here, there’s no use for me . I shall take my leave…”
“That day . ”
However, he wasn’t such a pushover .
‘That day . ’
As soon as I heard those two words, cold sweat trickled down my back .
“W-what do you mean by that day?”
“Are you going to say that you can’t remember, again?”
The weary voice of the emperor grew dim .
The only night I would have met this man was the time when I was going to give Haniel back .
“That day you must have…”
“Yes, I certainly waited!”
“… . ”
“I came out first and waited until nightfall . It’s the Emperor who didn’t come to meet me at that time . I don’t know if I’m the only one responsible, but if the Emperor is not satisfied with my actions, my guilt would weigh upon me until death . ”
Heuk .
My increasingly loud words ended in an apology .
To be honest, I don’t know if my excuse made sense .
Now, I just had to remember how long I waited for him that day .
“So you haven’t seen it all, have you?”
No, I can’t give Haniel to him!
My mind went blank as I weighed losing Haniel with losing my life right now .
As if he was enjoying a spectacle, the emperor quietly leaned to the side .
“You waited for me?”
“Yes, I’ve waited so anxiously for you to come . I was waiting for you to come despite the bitter cold of the north . ”
Why was he laughing at me? There was a tinge of anxiety around his smirking lips .
“When I am embarrassed, I speak everything on my mind without regard to my surroundings; and I think with the mentality of the lower class . ” Since his expression did not change, I could not grasp what the Emperor was thinking .
“I didn’t mean to . I made up my mind to tell Your Majesty honestly if you came on time, but when I saw you, I thought that there was a misunderstanding…”
“There is a reason why I couldn’t go . ”
“…I believe that you couldn’t make it because of circumstances beyond your control; you should be generous enough to understand as you are a member of the Imperial Family . ”
That was smooth, wasn’t it? It must have been smooth .
The eyes of each other were on each other for a long time, but the wheeze had nothing more to come out than the breathing sound . No matter what glance the emperor looked at me, my mouth had already begun to go up freely .
The eyes laid to each other for a very long time, but there was no breeze and only the sound of their breath was heard . No matter what glance the emperor looked at me, my mouth had already begun to speak freely .
He didn’t come! He didn’t see it!
Baby, your mother’s alive! When life and death could be swept away in one place, there was nothing scarier than being abandoned . Even though the emperor said he saw it, he could not believe that the baby swan was the missing princess . He could not say anything without being alive .
“I see . Of course, I don’t dare blame you . ”
However, I couldn’t help but speak up about it .
My smile became more natural as I regained the world’s strongest composure .
