Chapter 142 - Epilogue 4.2 (1/2)

Chapter 142: pilogue 4.2>

Beatrice smiled the way she only did when she was with close friends and families. Liselotte knew that not many people could witness Beatrice’s smile. Only their parents, herself, and very close friends could see the real Beatrice.

Beatrice firmly believed in not showing any weaknesses, and Liselotte sometimes got worried about her. Liselotte realized that showing strength was necessary to some extent as the ruler of a kingdom, but she worried that Beatrice gave up on her own personal happiness.

Beatrice looked peaceful as she asked Liselotte, “You look great. Do you have good news for me or something? Well, I guess you are about to be a new bride, so it makes sense.”

Liselotte smiled shyly like a beautiful flower and touched her engagement ring.

“No, nothing special. Oh, and… I got a message about his and her highness.”

Beatrice looked relieved at the news. After Beatrice became the official ruler and was able to stabilize the kingdom, Lucretius and Bina left to live in Bilenae permanently.

They left suddenly about six months ago and Beatrice and Liselotte had been getting regular messages from them. However, two months ago, their parents decided to go on their long overdue honeymoon and left the colony without telling anyone where their destination is.

From then on, the daughters had been getting random and rare messages from them, and this was why Beatrice was worried.

She asked, “So where are they now?”

Liselotte picked up her teacup and took a sip.

“I got a message from Aunt Roselia from Genoa.”

Beatrice frowned in annoyance. “Genoa? They went that far?”

“Yes.”

Liselotte sighed and handed Beatrice a letter marked with Genoan royal seal.

It was a short letter. Apparently, Lucretius and Bina appeared out of blue at the Genoan castle, creating an uproar. Roselia stated that she was writing this letter to let Beatrice and Liselotte know of their parents’ whereabouts in case they were worried about them.

Beatrice folded the letter and returned it to Liselotte with a sigh.

“At least they are healthy and active enough to travel all over the world.”

“As usual.”

Beatrice put down her half-empty teacup and asked, “They will be attending your wedding, right?”

“Yes. The wedding date was set before they left so they are aware.”

“Well, I guess we will get to see our parents in a very long time. It’s tiring to have such energetic parents.”

The sisters sighed together. Liselotte held her warm teacup with both hands and murmured jokingly.

“I wonder if we will end up getting a surprise younger brother or sister.”

“… it’s a possibility.”

“… This is scary.”

They both laughed together. The sisters couldn’t help but feel worried about their parents’ safety, but they believed in their parents’ wisdom and common sense.

They might have been traveling all over the world, but the sisters knew that their parents had plenty of guards following them for protection. Both Bina and Lucretius were careful and cautious. Besides, no one in this world would ever dare harm them.

Liselotte’s big wedding was coming up soon. Her parents would, of course, be attending but the sisters needed to complete all the preparation first. Their conversation naturally turned to the subject of the upcoming event.

Liselotte asked, “Now that I think about it… you wore that crown at the wedding, right?”

“Oh… Yeah. Mother’s royal crown.”

It was the crown decorated with the blue tear of the goddess.

The one Sa Bina wore at her own coronation.

Liselotte murmured in frustration, “And during your coronation, you wore father’s royal crown.”

Beatrice grinned. After she dethroned her husband, she had a small coronation for herself and wore her father’s crown. Beatrice was the only person in history who had the chance to wear both the empress’ and the emperor’s crowns.

“That’s true.”

“I’m so envious… That crown with the blue tear of the goddess is so beautiful. I always wanted to try it on…”

Liselotte knew it was not possible to wear the crown at her wedding. Even Beatrice couldn’t make it happen since only the empress could wear the crown.

However, there could be another possibility. Beatrice offered to her little sister.

“How about our grandmother’s blue diamond crown?”

Liselotte’s brown eyes widened. She looked genuinely surprised.

Beatrice was referring to one of the inheritances she received after she became the official empress of the kingdom. It was a very precious item.
