Chapter 14 (2/2)
”There's no need for gratitude, it’s ato Her Majesty Actually, I wanted to give s faster, but my punishment was just lifted yesterday after all”
Toward the Duke of Raihenbahha who made a smile, Nicolette answered, ”I heard about that”, while still s
”Congratulations and welcome for your return to the imperial court”
Toward Nicolette, who gave a formal answer, the Duke of Raihenbahha made an amused expression, then he said,
”It seems that Her Majesty was sent to this country to be ht?”
Nicolette’s expression turned slightly angry after hearing that
”Even if I was a hostage, i'm still His Majesty's wife”
”The fact that you answered like that, it hter was the First Eht?”
Nicolette gri the words from the Duke of Raihenbahha Those ords that the Fourth Empress, as Nicolette, didn’t really consider herself with Then, the Duke of Raihenbahha considered the fact that Nicolette didn't rebuke his remarks, so he continued with his talk
”My daughter, Rizerotta, is loved by His Majesty, you know”
””
Nicolette fell into silence because she didn’t kno to answer She felt that answering 'is that so?' wasn’t good, and the truth about how Wolfgang actually felt about Rizerotta is only known by the person himself
”However, hter was scared of His Majesty, so she ended up poisoning him to kill him Because of that, she was killed h he clearly loved her”
(ED: That literally makes no sense at all)
””
She still answered with silence Indeed, there's a story that the First E because she tried to poison hi soh However, since there was no proof to arrest him, it became a small crime with only five years of home arrest as punishment When Nicolette herself heard the story fro was probably an order froh that is based on her instincts She felt like the Duke of Raihenbahha was slightly si of Roware The Duke of Raihenbahha is scared of Wolfgang, and the King of Roware is scared of Nicolette
The Duke of Raihenbahhasmile to Nicolette, who fell into silence after she didn’t respond to his remark
”Her Majesty, aren’t you scared of His Majesty? Don't you have a wish to return to your own country? When Her Majesty decides to goback to Roware, just leave it tothat I wish for Her Majesty to do”
”Is it perhaps to murder His Majesty?”
”Oh, but I didn't say anything like that though”
Though the Duke of Raihenbahha said so, one can quickly realize based on his his expression He was thinking about Nicolettefor hi Nicolette, of course, didn’t want to har even a little bit
”Duke of Raihenbahha, you’re sha, you know”
”nobles can'tif they're not shameless, you know”
”Even though the fact that you're alive here right now is thanks to His Majesty, you still want to har to dirty your own hand”
Beginning with using his own daughter, Rizerotte, and noanted Nicolette to eliins of his fear
The Duke of Raihenbahha's face gri tone,
”I didn't say anything about that, it’s just Her Majesty’s hter is the one as killed by His Majesty, you know”
”It seems that you slipped up eh, Duke of Raihenbahha From those words, it can be proof that you are apart of the anti-e about that rehter Rizorette and His Majesty are the pitiful ones here
Though she had a lot of thoughts regarding Wolfgang’s ex-wife, Rizorette, but right now, the pitiful feeling was overwhel all of that, which is why she could feel that
”Having your own father telling you to kill a person, let alone your beloved person, I wonder how that feels?”
BAM, he slammed the table, and then the Duke of Raihenbahha stood up while glaring at Nicolette However, Nicolette had a strong h position in society She expressionlessly stared at the duke
”I disappointed in you, Her Majesty”
”Is that so? In the first place, I wasn’t even thinking about expecting so from you anyways Helma, please help the Duke of Raihenbahha out”
Nicolette smiled at Helma as already at her wits end, she then opened the two leaf door while waiting for the Duke of Raihenbahha to exit the roo to her, so Helma slowly closed the door after her left
At that moment,
”Her Majesty!”
Helma, Maria, and Marcus shouted At the tih of relief, the shout of three different people surprised her
”What happened with you today!? That wasn't like Her Majesty at all!?”
”Well~, I got a bit upset, you know ”
To Helma's question, Nicolette answered with a so, she didn’t realize that she was in a state of anger, but it seems like Nicolette felt really nervous Her hands were full of sweat, and her heart was beating loudly
”That was splendid though”
”Her Majesty, you were angry for His Majesty, right…?”
Helma smiled, and then Maria muttered some romantic line under her breath Well, Nicolette was just really pissed off, that's all though
Praised by three people, as expected, even Nicolette got slightly embarrassed, but as always, she was still somehow able to retain her composure
Nicolette thought that Rizorette was pitiful because the Duke of Raihenbahha thought of her as nothing but a irl was pitiful, then Nicolette, as confined because of her father’s fear of the prophecy, perhaps she could also be called pitiful, or so Nicolette thought
Author Note: For everyone who has read so far, thank you very much
I did consider to have the chapter subtitle be, ”Nicolette, angry” and I was honestly quite troubled by it, but I finally rejected the name
