Chapter 536 - The King and the Queen Part 1 (2/2)

”About her origin?”

”She is the first King's child, so she has that ancient blood within her. While Prince Andrew has observed over her in the shadows, it is difficult to even for him to tell. Just in case the worst-case scenario happens, it would be better if she knew.”

A deep sigh escaped her lips. 'I don't want her to know.' Even now, that thought of hers was powerful. If Lyn were to find out the truth, it would hurt her. Osamu's main reason ended up in that situation was Lyn because he left that meeting and personally rescued her. If he did not leave that meeting, then they would not have had the opportunity to accuse him.

Since he left without saying anything, then it did not help at all. Orthez remembered that day very well. She clenched her fist tightly. Even though she was the Queen, she could not do anything to help him.

If only she were this capable before then, she could have prevented that. ”Let me think about it.”

...

After that collapsing incident, everybody was on their guard. 'The security around me has increased too.' Orthez, however, still found a way to sneak out, or rather, her gaze fell on the wall she just climbed. This castle remains the same as ever. The moment she reached the bottom though she spotted her husband, he was leaning against the wall like he had waited for her.

As she racked her brains searching for an answer she didn't notice their surroundings until they arrived at a familiar well.

Oh! She realized that they were walking towards the forest, but Orthez didn't think much of it. She thought that he was leading her out here to have that chat.

Perhaps he is angry after all. 'Then again, Daichi is always smiling.'

When they arrived at their destination, Orthez realized the reason for his silence.

A stream of light sprouted from his fingertips, which filled the lake with magic.

”Tch. .. Urgh.” Daichi panted as he steadies his balance using the support of a tree.

”Daichi?”

”This lake should be fine now.”

Her eyes widened.

”I didn't expect this to be so painful.”

Now that Orthez got a closer look at him, she could tell that he lost a lot of weight. His face looks thinner than before.

His face lacks it's usually healthy glow.

Orthez felt the tears welling up from her eyes. She shouldn't have left him alone.

'Only two days have passed, but he must have been doing this sort of work all by himself.'

”Don't cry. . .”

Now that she has noticed this. Orthez knew she would not be able to control her tears, even if he asked her to. Indeed after he said those words, she cried even more.

”Hey, don't cry. This is nothing, honestly. The handcuffs from that time were actually way worse than this.”

Orthez wanted to hit him for mentioning that incident. Why is this man always so reckless? From the very beginning, when they met, he ends up in such foolish and dangerous situations. Daichi is the complete opposite of Osamu. With Daichi, she always ends up worrying even more than before. She still has to watch him.

Now that she thought about it, Osamu said something similar. Your gaze is always on him. So if your feelings have changed, please say so.
