The Grand Duchess Is Defeated Again Today

115 – [Abduction] The crown prince is tired today too.(完)

What was the problem?

What was the problem that made things turn out this way?

His approach to Albert Xernias?

What did he uselessly try to put between Gongnyeo and Gongja?

Haven’t you strongly discouraged Albert from heading to the church for treatment?

I didn’t know.

It just seemed like everything happened because of his fault.

Things weren’t like this when I first heard that Albert was heading to the church.

It was natural.

This whole tragedy started after his friend went to the Church.

I can’t hear from Albert.

At first, I didn’t think it was too much of a problem.

That’s also true, because the church was the only one that was strong enough to stand up against the imperial family.

I thought there was no way that such a church would casually leak information about a patient who came for treatment.

One day, two days, and three days.

Although time continued to pass, news of Albert did not reach him.

From here on, he got the feeling that something was strange, but he said this to Rebecca, who came to visit him nonetheless.

No news is good news.

There’s no need to make a fuss like that.

He had spat it out in his mouth right in front of Rebecca and Veronica.

Arrogance.

It was such a terrible arrogance.

Maybe it was insensitivity to safety.

It was clear that he was intoxicated by the peace and prosperity led by his father, the emperor, and was unguarded.

One week, two weeks.

Although half a month has passed, there has been no news about Albert.

No matter how arrogant he was, he could now understand.

Something happened.

Something happened to his friend who visited the church for treatment.

As soon as he finished grasping the situation, he sent someone to the church.

Among the members of the imperial family, the person who could move the fastest was selected and sent to the Order.

– ······Wasn’t it?

– I’m sorry, Your Highness.

Still, there was no news back.

The only answer was the brazen reply that Albert Zernias had never visited the church.

The news of Albert that he and his princess were desperately looking for did not exist anywhere.

I wonder if it was from then.

Rebecca Valencia’s condition began to deteriorate.

No, he hadn’t noticed until then.

To be precise, her princess didn’t show off at all.

Pretending to be okay.

Pretend nothing is wrong.

The princess acted the same way as usual.

He was completely fooled.

This was also arrogance.

Terrible arrogance born from the conviction that Rebecca couldn’t be like that, and that the monster princess couldn’t lose her sanity.

I thought it was only natural for the Valencian ducal family to send someone individually.

Because I’m a fiance.

Even if we didn’t get along normally, it’s because we’re the fiancé who promised a future.

Even when Rebecca came to him to visit the church herself, she didn’t think it was strange.

Because of people’s eyes.

She thought that she was conscious of other nobles and other people’s eyes and acted like a show.

Because the two of you aren’t in love yet.

Albert and Rebecca were just starting to get closer, and I thought they were just people I knew.

And it didn’t take her long to realize that it was an illusion.

After the princess went to the church, someone from the church arrived.

Because the story had reached him that the Princess of Valencia had suddenly made a fuss about finding someone in the church.

At that time, he had a clear realization.

The relationship he connected between the two was never weak.

It is clear that there has been a change in the relationship between the two in a game where they only compete with each other’s fighting spirit.

I just realized it too late.

I only realized it after the situation had gone this far.

Of course, it was clear that no one would blame him.

It was a feeling that even the members themselves were not aware of.

Both Albert and Rebecca were unaware of it and kept it in mind.

There was no one to blame for the fact that he, a third party, did not realize the mind that the parties themselves did not realize.

It was only that his position was that of a crown prince, not an ordinary person.

Yes, only then did he realize.

The current Rebecca Valencia is absolutely insane.

The bad rumors about the princess, which he had never heard before, began to ring in his ears.

I heard there was a commotion at a tea party.

It is said that he acted rudely to the priest of the church while he was there for service.

The rumor spread quickly.

Opinions gradually emerged that he should also be told to be more careful with Princess Rebecca.

But he didn’t.

No, he couldn’t.

The reason why the princess became like that was because her fault was definitely present.

Thought so, the best he could do was to drive out the other nobles who came.

Then, the day finally came.

The day the saintess, who had only seen her face occasionally at important events in the empire, came to him.

He and the Knight Commander, Rebecca, ran straight to the place the saintess told them about.

I hope it’s not too late.

He still believes that there will be no turning back.

– ······Alber Xernias?

– ······Ah. Princess? Majesty?

The only thing he faced was despair.

– I’m sorry to say this, but… No matter how long it is, it’s three months.

90 Days, three months.

This is the lifespan of her friend, as told by the most outstanding healer in the empire, the saintess.

Shocking news that she would have denied if it had been someone other than a saint.

However, I couldn’t deny it because it came from the mouth of a saintess, not someone else.

– Let’s compete with this game today.

– ······Princess?

– Because you’re sick and can’t do anything else. Try to beat me with this game.

They just denied reality in their own way.

– Your Highness.

– Why is it called? A person who is also sick.

– I’m telling you now, but I’m not from here.

– ······Suddenly, what are you talking about again?

It was also at that time that I heard the story of Albert, the most liar in the world.

The truth is that he is not a native of this place.

The story of how he came into contact with this world through a novel, and somehow he was possessed.

– ······Has your hair become weird as your lifespan has decreased?

– Absolutely not, Your Highness.

Of course I didn’t believe it at first.

In the first place, it was a story that even a three-year-old could not believe.

However, I had no choice but to believe.

– ······So, are you talking about adding strawberries to other foods?

– Yes, adding it to various desserts as a base ingredient would be delicious.

How can I not believe it when I see him casually talking about a method that doesn’t exist at all in the Empire?

– ······Really good.

– Your Highness.

– Huh? Anything else?

– After I die… I hope that His Highness will make this kind of food for the princess from time to time.

– ···.

– Your Highness may not know, but the Princess likes strawberries the most.

He smiles brighter than anyone else, but how can you not believe it when you see him looking more pitiful than anyone else?

He had no choice but to believe the absurd story.

In the end, he had no choice but to accept the death of a friend who hadn’t passed three months.

And that night.

The day his friend passed away.

– ······What?

– Sorry. I’m sorry I couldn’t prevent it beforehand…

The story that flowed from the mouth of the saintess who personally conducted Albert’s funeral was enough to drive her princess, who was barely holding on to her reason, crazy.

To be honest, I couldn’t quite remember how he heard it sanely either.

The story that the pope is the culprit behind all of this.

A story about gathering people who had been treated with divine power and stealing their life force and divine power in order to save his younger sister who died unhappily.

– hahahahaha!

The coolest princess in the world went crazy like that.

The story that the first man she loved died like that.

The story that only one person died because of his greed.

Leaving him alone with the story of asking for his family to be destroyed for treason, he invaded the church alone and killed the pope.

The war started like that.

There was no way to stay still in a church that had suddenly lost its leader.

The Holy Knights, said to be the best in the church, immediately attacked.

– Please let me go, Your Highness.

– The leader of the knights.

– Isn’t that why I’ve been receiving my salary so far?

– ······I trust you.

The brave 1st Knights dealt with them.

The result is annihilation.

Neither the Holy Knights nor the 1st Knights had any survivors left.

I could only hear the songs of those who died during the war and those who suffered damage.

– ······The Commander of the Knights, I am.

– Cool, I didn’t know Your Highness thought this way.

– Don’t tell me, it will make things worse…

– Sorry. If you had told me a little sooner, I might have been able to reciprocate your feelings.

– Veronica. Veronica!

– Thank you so far, Your Highness. No, Mikhail.

With only regrets about the feelings I couldn’t convey, I lost someone important to me.

And.

– ······Preparations are okay, right?

– Your Highness. No, Mikhail. Just thinking about it once more…

– A saint. No, Estelle. I asked if there were any problems with the preparation.

– But, even if I go back like this, I’m sure I’ll lose all my magic…

– What does that matter?

– ···.

– They say you can meet the people you lost with your own hands. What use is this magical power?

– ······Mihail.

– Let’s hurry up and get started.

All that remains is a tired story.

The story of becoming a hero that everyone dreams of at least once.

However, the story of becoming a hero that no one remembers except for himself.

A story about correcting one’s own mistakes and mistakes.

“… Your Highness?”

“Why are you calling again. Knight Commander.”

“Because he suddenly had a very unpleasant expression on his face.”

“······As I always think, you don’t have too much respect for your lord.”

“····.”

“But it’s not bad.”

“Yes? What did you just say…”

“Okay, quickly think of a gift to bring to Prince Albert. It’s the first child, so I’ll have to buy a present.”

“Why do I think that…”

“So you’re unhappy?”

“No, I’ll do my best to find it.”

“······ Huh.”

The Crown Prince of the Empire was tired today too.
