Chapter 146: Armistice (3) (2/2)
Princess Violet trailed off She al for your fiancé, Your Majesty,’ but ed to choke the words down Even if she was politically inept, she wasn’t stupid enough to say those words out loud But…
“How about my fiancé?”
Seems like Queen Leila was stupid No, maybe it should be said that she transcended ordinary people?
“…Your Majesty?”
It took about 10 seconds before Princess Violet fully comprehended what Queen Leila said
‘What did she just say right now?’
Princess Violet thought she heard it wrong What woman would introduce the man she was about to marry to another wo him “dear” for a while now
“I’…”
“No, you heard right”
“……”
“How about it? Isn’t my dear perfect?”
“Ah, that’s… uetting soaked with sweat
‘What is this? How… should I respond?’
Why was Queen Leila saying this to her? Was it a trap? If she said so her and lodging a forainst the Florence Principality? Princess Violet kept thinking of different reasons and answers, but couldn’t think of anything to say In the end…
Hic… Hic…
Princess Violet burst out into tears She was so courageous, excessively so, on the battlefield, but she was too weak to deal with Queen Leila during a
“Princess Violet”
Hic… Hic…
“Why are you crying, princess?”
“Hic… I’iveto blame you… um…”
Queen Leila was flustered She had been leading the conversation to find out Princess Violet’s intentions when she suddenly started crying
They were both women and both of royal blood, but their personalities were coht appear once in a thousand years, Princess Violet was as pure and innocent as a unicorn At least when she was off the battlefield
So when Queen Leila just prodded her a couple times, Princess Violet’s mental state was already a mess
“Hic… Sorry… I’ive me… so… Hic…”
‘Just what did you do that was so bad?’
At this point, it was Queen Leila as feeling guilty Sophia was naive, but Princess Violet was even more naive It had been a while since Queen Leila was flustered by so for certain
‘I should stop talking in circles with this innocent little lady’
Queen Leila got up from her seat and moved next to Princess Violet
Then, she took out her handkerchief and began wiping Princess Violet’s tears
“Calm down, Violet”
Queen Leila had purposefully left out the word ‘princess’ as she spoke fondly to Violet; she wanted to seem more friendly
Hic… Hic…
It radually slowed her tears and Queen Leila comforted her further
“Don’t worry I feel no malice towards you”
At Queen Leila’s words, Princess Violet looked up at her with tearful eyes
“…Hic… really… Your Majesty?”
“……”
A thought crossed Queen Leila’s mind
‘She’s adorable How can there be someone this adorable?’
Queen Leila felt her heart stop when she saw the innocence and vulnerability in Princess Violet’s eyes
‘How can this delicate girl fight on the battlefield? Maybe he lied to me?’
Queen Leila didn’t believe Milton would lie to her, but she couldn’t iht on the battlefield Either way, she kept talking while soothing Princess Violet
“What I said to you was sincere, I had no other intentions II said to you”
“Really… you’re really trying to get ether with Marquis Forrest, Your Majesty?”
“Yes, that’s right”
Princess Violet thought for a
“But why, Your Majesty? Don’t you love hi Princess Violet saying so straight and frank? Could a vixen’s weakness be innocence?
Queen Leila hesitated when Princess Violet asked her outright whether she loved Milton Then…
“I… love him Of course, I love him How could I not?”
Could this be considered a love confession? Or was she brainwashi+ng herself?
‘Doesn’t matter either way It’s true that I like him’
Queen Leila convinced herself like this before turning to Princess Violet
“But I am a monarch and I need to make the best choice for my country”
“…I’m not sure I understand what youpolitical sense, Queen Leila gently explained it to her
“Did you know that he has another woman?”
“Yes, Your Majesty, I do know that”
Alongside Queen Leila, Sophia was also Milton’s fiancée Princess Violet had heard about this Queen Leila continued to explain it so she would understand
“Like you, I ae isn’t necessarily based on love alone”
“Yes, I know that”
Princess Violet nodded her head
