I Should Have Just Died

An express ship from the Kingdom of Belgium anchored in the port. People knew he had been to Belgium on business, so they didn’t take it too seriously, but for some who knew what line he had crossed, it was a heart-wrenching experience.

When the king moved, many eyes were bound to be drawn.

For that reason, Alyssa could not leave even though she wanted to meet him at the port where the express ship was anchored. Hearing the news that Juliana, Ophelia, and Kaihan had departed, she was heartbroken and rolled her feet.

Even before she became king, she could not do what she wanted, so she thought she had a knack for patience and perseverance, but she must have been arrogant.

She was pale and then blue.

Dania sighed as she watched her face change color like a traffic light.

“If you want to go, just tell me.”

Just being patient isn’t the best thing to do.

“You want to meet him, right?”

“Uh, huh? No…”

Alyssa shook her head.

Her face looks smaller thanks to her curled-up hair to make it easier to work. She’s so skinny; maybe that’s why she feels so young?

If it wasn’t for the deep purple eyes, she thought people would be able to believe that she was a Lady who had just turned 20.

Dania bent her waist towards Alyssa.

“Lies.”

“Everyone else is listening, Dania! It’s a secret about Seidrick.”

How could she crouch her body and whisper softly like that…

“They were chosen as trustworthy people. They are not going to take the king’s affairs out. So I ask the king once again. Do you want to go?”

“Yes…”

Alyssa nodded her head.

“However, the king must not move on its own. Every action must have a reason. If I act as I please, I am no different from previous kings.”

“That doesn’t mean you have to endure everything. Aren’t the kings also human? Conversely, if you are restricted in all your actions just because you are a king, then wouldn’t it be like being imprisoned?”

“….that… .”

“It’s not that you can’t spend a little time outside. I’m not that bad of a secretary. Secretary Camilla, how’s the schedule today?”

“Secretary Dania, there is no specific schedule for Her Majesty today. You don’t have an outside schedule today either. Oh, the Knights Order visit is scheduled for a while in the afternoon, but this part can be adjusted.”

Dania smiled brightly.

Dania asked Alyssa, who was blinking her eyes with an innocent face.

“Now. You have a well-planned schedule. Are you going to visit, or will you just roll your feet like a dog who wants to go to the bathroom like that?”

“I can go… can I go?”

Alyssa rolled her eyes.

“I have already prepared everything. If you go down to the first floor…”

Alyssa jumped up.

Then she ran out without looking back. Dania shrugged her shoulders as she heard Alyssa’s footsteps moving away.

“The king’s actions today are all kept a secret. Since you’ve done it before, I’m sure everyone will do well.”

“Yes.”

The secretaries nodded with solemn faces.

The happiness of the king leads to the happiness of the royal family, and it is also related to efficiency. That was why the secretaries wanted Alyssa to be happy. The secretaries started working as if Alyssa was still in her place.

After all, the capable handmaids would have followed Alyssa. Dania sat down as usual. As if no one was gone.

There will not be a single speck of blemish on Alyssa.

***

On the express ship that magically glided over the sea, Seidrick stuck out his head. A strong wind mixed with the smell of the sea brushed his cheeks, and Seidrick pulled back unknowingly.

On the way to the Kingdom of Belgium, her feet were so heavy that taking one step at a time was difficult, but the way back was different. He felt like he was going to blow himself away at the thought of the people he would meet on his way to Avery.

He will hug Juliana.

He has to hug Juliana, who has been struggling in her heart, and tell her that he loves her.

He also wanted to tell her that nothing should rot inside his mother anymore.

Seidrick ruffled his hair, thinking of the skinny Juliana. Since Kendrick’s death, she has weakened a lot.

Previously, she was a strong person who led the Duchy of Cambridge, who had no master alone.
