Chapter 262 - Happiness

"May you always be healthy. I'll be back with good news

soon."

Mastas greeted me and turned her head to look at Laura.

Laura, who had become much acquainted with Mastas,
had been red from crying all morning.

"Laura. It must have been annoying to ask every single

question, but thank you for teaching and helping me a
lot."

Mastas hugged Laura and greeted her, but Laura cried

even more. To the point where she can't even answer.

Instead, Rose was harsh, wiping her eyes from the side.

"I was the one who answered the nasty question. Miss
Mastas."

Mastas smiled broadly at Rose, leaving Laura alone.

"I hear that. Thank you. Thank you, too."

Soon, Mastas asked Countess Jubel.

"Be the strength of the Empress. Countess."

Countess Jubel sighed.

"That's obvious, and since Miss Mastas is gone, she
comes back with a very good major."

Mastas burst into laughter.

"Of course. It's easy."

"Hold on Lord Koshar, too."

Countess Jubel's words made Mastas blushed, but she's

not denying it.

"It's time to start. Lord Mastas."

Then a knight in uniform, similar to Mastas, approached.

As if it were natural, the knight called Mastas a "Lord,"
and Mastas nodded and climbed onto a large white
horse.

"Let's go!"

When Mastas ordered, the knights, who were standing in

line like a sword, began to move at the same time.

Mastas sat on the horse and looked at my side one last

time, then smiled and swung the reins.

When the horse moved forward the most and the cape
fluttered behind her back, Laura, who was crying all the
time, admired it.

"It looks good on her.”

Mastas wearing a knight's uniform and riding a horse. I

also saw it for the first time today. But that looked the
most comfortable than any of Mastas's looks ever seen.

Because of that, I also feel anxious. Mastas will do well.

Safely, safely.

And when she comes back...... May both Koshar and

Mastas put down some burden of mind for nothing.

***

'Mastas is great.'

After Mastas left, Levetti was absent for nothing.

Levetti leaned her head against the carriage window,

looking at people busily wandering the streets. Everyone
was busy walking around. Everyone knew what they had
to do.

Even the little ones knew exactly what they wanted, so

they teased their parents.

'I am? What am I doing?'

Levetti looked down and looked at her hand. There was a

lot I wanted. To guard the Limwell Territory. To be a good
lord to the people there. To care for one's mother. To
protect the only bloodline left by my brother.

But...

Mastas led a spear and her men to the battlefield.

Empress Navier is now the head of the Imperial Union

and the most influential person in all countries.

Countess Jubel and Sir Arthina came from the East to

the West to protect Empress Navier.

Laura was also the type who was always bright and
cheerful, but surprisingly only ran forward. She never
was swayed by her choices.

'I think I'm the only one standing still.'

Although it was a short period of time, Levetti also

learned many things by following Duke Troby with a
dream of becoming a good lord.

However, after learning that Duke Elgy was the enemy,

she did not study revenge properly.

I didn't notice it before, but when I saw Mastas leave as

soon as she made her decision, I realized it again.

"We've arrived."

Levetti came out of the carriage and handed the carriage

to the horseman. As the carriage left, Levetti stood alone
in front of the large mansion and looked up at the large
building.

The mansion that Empress Navier had set up outside the

capital was too large for two adults and a small child.

I'll go inside the big mansion. Levetti asked the maid,

taking off her coat.

"What about the child?

"Just sit around in the room."

Levetti went into the room.

When the door closed, the child in the window slowly

turned its head as it was rumbling on the front floor. with
a frightened face

But when he recognized Levetti's face, he came running

with a big smile.

He came running and fell, but he jumped up and ran.

However, when he approached her, he couldn't speak or
hugged her.

He doesn't know if he should be glad to see her.

Levetti felt tears in his eyes as he stroked the child's hair.

"Why don't you tell me?"

"Are you afraid of your aunt?"

When Levetti asked, he shook his head as if it were

never. Levetti bit her lips and hugged Ahn.

These days, I sometimes regretted watching Lary and

Kai grow bright and clear.

Ahn is not Rashta. Why did I hate him? If I can't love him,
I shouldn't have hated him.

This child should have grown up smiling like Lary and

Kai, but I think it's covered up because I couldn't protect
him.

And even though it's heavy, it makes me think once in a

while.

Like Lary and Kai, this kid is an angelic kid, and what
difference is it? From birth, Lary and Kai are noble royal
families, and this child is made into a slave who is
treated as a heavenly slave.

Is it really right to distinguish a person who is not

precious from a person who is born?
This child grew up without even knowing the face of
Rashta, but does he have to bear the guilt of Rashta?

'Rashta said she was enslaved because of her father.…..'

When I was young, I was cleaning the portrait of

Empress Navier while eating snacks made by a cook. I
remember the round eyes staring at this side.

Levetti was confused in her memory when the look she

thought was rude at the time overlapped with the
frightened eyes inside now.

Was that really a rude look? Maybe she was just hungry.
.....

Then, the maid knocked on the door.

"Lord Limwell, I have a package for you."

"No. I'm playing with the toys I bought you before. I'll
read you a book later.”

Levetti stroked Ahn's head and left the child behind and
went out.

The maid handed over a small box.

"Who sent this?"

"I don't know. It doesn't have a name on it, and the

messenger doesn't tell me."

Levetti received the box, went to her room, put the box
on the table and tore it open. It was a pair of dry shoes
from inside.

"This is..."
The shoes that I took off when I tried to push Duke Elgy,
so as not to make a sound.

Levetti looked at the shoes in a dazed mood for a

moment.

***

"You're leaving?"

It was before breakfast.

Levetti, who came to say that she wanted to say

something, said something unexpected.

"You said you'd study how to be lord."

I thought she was leaving, but isn't it too soon? When I

asked in amazement, Laura cried with her eyes wide
open.

"No, it's not been long since Masta went away?"

Levetti hesitated. She doesn't know if she can say this.

Then she opened her mouth weakly.

"Well... ...I've heard people talking. Maybe Duke Elgy did

something like that, because of some grudges."

Levetti put her hand on her lap and clenched her fist. As
if the mere mention of Duke Elgy made her angry.

"Your Majesty. Well, when he came here for a moment.

When His Majesty went to New Year's Day. That's when I
saw him sitting alone on the stairs. But he didn't look
very happy."

"I don't think revenge is bad. I'll do it whenever I get a

chance to get back at him. But...... I'm not gonna ruin
myself for revenge."

Levetti looked at me with big eyes and spoke with great

courage.

"I'm much more precious than him."

"Revenge is not even my life goal. My goal is to be a

good lord and live happily. So ...... When I'm happy and
still have energy, I'll take revenge."

Laura asked from the side.

"That's a good idea, but what does it have to do with

leaving?"

It was a sad voice to say that she was leaving as soon

as they became close.

Levetti smiled apologetically.

"I'm sorry, Laura, I was supposed to help you, but I'm

sorry. Your Majesty, but if you're here...Anyway, Duke
Elgy is a friend of the Emperor. It's hard to put down
hatred."

When Laura heard it, she became sullen and shut her
mouth.

Levetti reached out and took Laura's hand.

"So earlier than I promised, now I ask for me to go back

to Limwell territory. Her Majesty the Empress."

***

My brother left, Mastas left, and Levetti left.

After seeing her off,

Feeling queer, I looked alternately at the two whining

children lying in the cradle.

When I was in the Eastern Empire, I had a hard time

saying good-bye to my friends. The sense of loss at that
time is still vivid.

I thought I'd come here, find stability, and now

everything's going to go as it is, like this....that's not true.

Well, as I desperately found my way, everyone's going to

be looking for their own way.

"Lary, Kai. My precious babies."

Babies are busy sleeping even though their names are

called. I've been sweeping their chubby cheeks, and I've
already felt sad.

"You'll leave my arms someday, too, right?"

Father and mother are considered great.

A son who walks around without rest.. How sad must he

have felt when both his children left earlier than others?
How could he never have made such an expression?

-Gu!

Then I heard the voice of my beloved 'Queen' outside the

window. Looking back, 'Queen' was standing on the
window frame smiling.

When our eyes met, 'Queen' immediately flew and stood,

clutching the cradle.
At that moment Kai opened his eyes, managed to
recognize his father, who was a bird, and made a roar.

Lary's sleeping with a bug doll in her arms.

'Queen' eyes, looking at the two babies, bent long, and a

satisfying "gugu" sound came out. Heinley, who was
about to dance for a while, turned into a human figure
and hugged me from behind.

"Queen."

His hands came in both sides of the waist, and that hand
held me firmly in his body. I put my hand on his arm,
leaning back in that condition, and raised my head.

"Queen."

Heinley kissed me on the forehead, and whispered, with

his lips only slightly removed.

"Don't be lonely in advance. I'll always be there for Queen

even if the kids grow up and leave. Forever."

"...do you hear everything?"

"It was lovely."

"------....."

He always hears things like this. As I slipped away,

Heinley burst into laughter and kissed me again over my
wrinkled forehead, over my eyelids.

I closed my eyes comfortably, feeling the touch of his

lips everywhere.

***
"When I was young, I was frustrated."

When I was exhausted and helpless, Heinley began to

talk suddenly, fiddling with my hair.

I lay down on my knees, closed my eyes and listened to

his voice.

"I think it's too easy. I couldn't help but feel so frustrated
with my brother who couldn't do it, swordsmanship,
magic, horseback riding, dancing... ...everything."

"Are you bragging?"

Heinley smiled low.

"I was a little bit drunk with good taste. But I still liked my
brother."

"----...."

"So I decided to help him. Anyway, the prince was my

brother. I decided to help him for my country, for my
brother, for my parents."

Heinley's voice recited down.

"But it failed, and my brother lost a great deal of mana

........"

A quiet old story suddenly became a tragedy. I opened

my eyes and looked at Heinley.

He wasn't looking at me. Looking somewhere in the past,

he was looking into space.

"The decrease in horsepower is then........"

"The first test model was my brother."

"!-------....."

"I haven't seen my brother's face since then. My brother,

my father, my mother. No one blamed me, so it was even
more painful."

"Heinley ......"

"I kept it a secret that only a few knew about it. But I can't
handle the guilt, so I'm here and there. I started to
wander. I met Elgy then."

I quickly got up and made eye contact with him. I

thought he was crying. But Heinley was not crying. It
wasn't even a sad face.

"That's when I knew. There is no one like me."

"-----....."

"Queen, Navier,

Heinley's forehead touches my shoulder. He gently

rubbed his forehead and kissed me on my cheek and
pulled me in with both hands.

So completely in his own arms, he whispered constantly.

"Queen, I'm happy to have you. Not a momentary

pleasure. I knew my whole body was full of happiness."

"I'm happy to have you, Heinley."

"Queen would be happy without me."

"Why do you think so?"

"Because you're such a forward person."

"Am I?

"Queen, you're ice, but the sun. But I'm like a shadow on
the floor even though it's hot. The brighter you are, the
better I can see, but the brighter you are, the darker I am."

"Heinley..."

"So I'm glad. I am the one you found, and I can be with
you on your way. I'm happy. I'm completely happy."

As I turn my head, I can see his eyes right in front of me.

My beloved purple eyes were glittering like jewels with a
mixture of light and water.

Does Heinley know? He loves jewelry, but the real

beautiful jewelry is on him.

Then I reached out my hand and looked around his eyes,

and a tearful discharge of tears gathered beside his
purple eyes flowed down to the side.

When I saw it, my heart ached and I was about to kiss

him, and the sound of a baby bird broke in.

As we hurried out into the bedroom, Lary and Kai were

fighting with a small beak over a branch in a nest.

Where the hell did that branch come from?

"What are you doing?"

Heinley hugged Lary, clicking his tongue, and I hugged

Kai, too.

As soon as I and Heinley were hugged, Lary and Kai laid

branches at once, and the branches, which were coveted
enough to fight, were thrown and rolled over the nest.

"They've been like that ever since they were in my

stomach. They don't want to see their dad and mom in
love."

Heinley patted Lary on the back and pretended to be

cheerful for no reason.

I laughed at the sight.

after a while.

We took Lary and Kai to the couple's bedroom, each

sitting on our lap, and sat shoulder to shoulder with each
other.

The children, who had been fighting for a while, fell

asleep again as gentle angel birds.

Looking up and down at the plump belly of the baby

birds, I turned my head and looked at Heinley. To see if
he still cries.

Heinley was singing a lullaby in a faint voice. Then I

guess he felt my eyes, and he turned his head and
smiled with his eyes.

Heinley said that earlier. He feels happy because of me.

When will I admit it? I'm like that too.
