The Evil Queen's Beautiful Principles

"… Your Majesty. Thank you for your safe return."

It was Gilbert who welcomed me back to King's Landing.

"What about everybody else?

"We haven't come back yet.... but there's news that we've captured each of our targets. "

"Well... that's good."

"Was there anyone in the Republic of Serbia?

"Thankfully, I won't be doing anything extra this time...."

"It's superimposed. It was worth the haste."

"Oh, I see.... I'm glad we caught the Marquis Slade before the Republic of Serbia intervened. "

"Yeah, yeah.... that's exactly what scared us the most.No matter how Lucery-like it was, it would have been difficult to deal with one country. "

"... it would have been more troublesome if the Marquis of Slade had escaped with their help."

In my words, Gilbert whistled.

"Haha... that's true.The Marquis de Slade would have been surprised.... you didn't expect me to get caught soon after I made a rescue request. "

"I don't know."

"... before the Republic of Serbia can detect our movements, we need to catch them.Master Luxeria's operation seemed to have gone well, above all. "

"... thanks to everyone's hard work,"

When I was walking with him, I found myself in front of my room sometime.

"... rest a little"

"Yes, I understand.... I'm sorry I'm so tired.Excuse me. "

When Gilbert leaves, I enter my room.

"Thank you for your safe return."

In the room, Alicia was waiting.

With tears in her eyes, she welcomed me with a smile.

... I think I saw her coming back.

"I'm home."

"I'm really... really, really glad you're okay."

"Thank you... Alicia"

Then, for a while, I kept holding her in tears.

"... are you okay now?

As soon as the swallowing stopped, I gently left her.

"I'm sorry, if I were you...."

Her cheeks were dyed red.

Oh, cute.

"Fufufu... that's fine.I mean, you're just glad I'm okay, right?

"That's... yes.I'm really glad Luceria is back safely. "

"I'm glad to see you again, too..."

Then, after she settled down, she took off her dirty clothes and slowly soaked herself in water to heal her fatigue.

Then, sit deeply on the couch in a loose-fitting clothing.

"... Alicia"

"What did you say?Dear Luceria, "

"Hey, can you leave me alone?I want to rest. "

"I understand."

The moment everyone left the room... I couldn't stand it anymore and fell down on the spot.

My vision is terribly distorted... and my body is in severe pain.

"....."

I chewed my lips tightly to keep my voice from leaking.

Did you bite too hard? The taste of iron spreads all over your mouth.

... it's not impossible.

I used two treasure swords this time.

Instead, you should be happy that this is all you need to do.

"Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho-ho...."

Apart from the blood overflowing from the bitten lips, the blood from the deep bottom of the body jumped out of the mouth.

"Goho...!

Your consciousness is fading away.

... I let go of my consciousness, feeling the sagging of my life from a broken vessel.
