Chapter 346 - Upside down (2/2)
Zepher isn't a bad person. But it's just that there are certain times where it feels like the man is possessed. If it weren't for that maniac side of him on the battlefield then… No, there is no use in thinking of what if's, what's done is done. Zepher is a criminal now. If he even thinks of stepping on Mist Kingdom soil again. He will be dead in an instance.
The alarms would catch him immediately.
”Now, this is a fine night to go flirting, but unfortunately, my eldest doesn't act like a normal man,” a familiar famine voice said from beside him.
A deep sigh escaped his lips as he turned to the right; there stood none other than his mother — the Queen of the Mist Kingdom, Orthez.
”And what is the Queen doing out of her hibernation.”
Orthez laughed, ”Now son. You know I'd love to hide away forever. But my King is awfully persistent.”
”Do not give Uncle so many problems.”
”Indeed, I cause him quite a headache. So, I heard about it. Lyn is with him now?”
Andrew sighed, ”I apologize about this mother. It seems like we've been quite lax with Lyn lately.”
She shook her head, ”Even if you didn't take those actions to give her more freedom. I would have eventually. Lyn is no longer a child. In terms of Mist Kingdom laws, she will be an a.d.u.l.t next year. The legal age to marry.”
”But until then…”
”..until then we must protect her. However, I'm growing tired of the throne.”
”...Mother.”
Orthez sighed, ”After your father died. I wondered to myself how long I could keep doing this. I lasted longer than I thought. But, I wish for it to end. Daichi was never suited to be the King. He only did so, so Lethia's father wouldn't take it.”
Naturally, after the death of your first husband, it would go to the second... But it didn't; the order was skipped. That's why many are against the man named Daichi.
”What do you plan to do? Do you think you can retire in peace?” Even as he speaks, many are after Mother's head. Many who wish to see her dead. Many who want to see the world turned upside down.
