I’ll Live My Second Life!

148

Fee and Abel had had days to comfort Lynette, who had been depressed, since she was no longer able to attend the tea party she was supposed to attend. With some encouragement from Phee (and Abel), he regained his energy and went back to work on the last day.

Abel also had a healing leg injury and then left for the rear palace. Now everything is back to normal. Fee can go back to her original life too – though it was supposed to be.

Even on the eighth day, Phee could not make it to the rear palace.

That’s why…

“Master Fee, I’m here to see you!

At lunch, just in time for the watchmen to disappear, what came was Abel, whose leg injury should have healed and allowed him to escape from the rear palace.

(Hmmm…… here I come again……)

Yes, Abel, who totally remembered his time on the lookout, came to visit him in the rear palace. For Phee, I can’t leave the rear palace forever.

So it was a problem.

I didn’t expect it to happen again in the first place. On the sixth day of Lynette’s return, I was glad I was cleaning up the rear palace.

“Hehe, I bought the magazine you recommended today!

For the past three days, Abel has gone to the city and bought me some miscellaneous paper I recommend every day for Phee. Apparently, it means to kill time in the rear palace.

(Ah… this is the one I’ve read too)

By the way, what Abel buys me was the one I’ve borrowed from Slad and read it all so far.

“That’s so funny.”

“Oh, thank you……”

Fee takes it with a bit of a bitter laugh to Abel, who recommends it with an innocent face.

Then always Abel comes in front of the gate and stays in the rear palace until he’s gone again and talks to Fee.

I know what Phee’s talking about. About how this city is going, about the apprentice knights Phee knows well, and then about Abel herself.

That’s very troubling, but at the same time I think.

If Abel had come then… when he was desperate for life in the rear palace, that would have been a great pleasure.

This is how I met Abel, because Phee was an apprenticeship knight, and that’s not possible, but if someone came to see me in the rear house this way, if anyone would have laughed and talked with me, maybe even if I stayed in the rear house, I could have laughed and spent happily ever after.

But it’s a thin story, but I can’t do it anymore. Because I’ve found a happier place to live. There’s Mr. Crowe. There’s a little guy I want to, Couinu, Mr. Conrad, Golms, a lot of people. Even Abel is there.

I can’t think of going back to my old life in the backyard.

So I have to tell you. Kind of you to come here thinking of yourself, to Abel.

Just around the time I was out of watch, Phee, who was sitting at the table as usual and talking to Abel over a cup of tea, said as she turned to him.

“You know, Abel…”

“What’s going on? Mr. Fee.”

With a pleasant grin, Abel laughs. When I first met her, I didn’t know Abel laughed like this. I didn’t know, I can’t believe I don’t like bitterness and tea can’t be drunk without 5 cups of sugar. I didn’t know, surprisingly good at talking and hearing about the city from him makes it look different in stores I’ve been to.

“Abel is also an apprentice knight… In that position, I don’t think it’s a good idea to come and see me… I’m sure it won’t do Abel any good to keep doing this…”

Abel’s eyes opened.

Silence flows to the place where we’ve been having a great conversation. Fee missed his face a little awkwardly.

Abel with an upset face takes a rattling seat.

“Well, you will, won’t you? I don’t know what I was doing. Keep up, Mr. Fee will laugh, so keep up the good work… I think I bothered you…”

“It’s annoying.”

“I’m so sorry!

Before Phee said anything, Abel ran away. The seat he was in until just now is empty.

I think lonely, I’m sure it’s selfish.

“I’ll clean up the rear palace too, or else…”

Fee whined one word to distract it.

It was finally Phee, who started cleaning up the rear palace, but a few minutes after that ear, I hear footsteps like a run. I don’t think they’re watchers. Because they always walk relaxed.

Looking outside so that he could not be found through the window, he saw Abel running towards the rear palace. They came with quite a dash, the orange hair and the remaining cheeks of the scab were sweaty.

“Abel!?

Fee rushes to the front door in surprise.

When Fee greeted Abel in front of the door, Abel offered something with both hands.

“Give me this!

It was a flower seedling. White, rustic, but beautiful flowers. Marletta, who was also blooming in Fee’s hometown, was shaking beautifully in a small vial.

“You said you miss flowers on the flowerbed. So I thought I’d get you something. But I couldn’t give it away because it was so bright. Sorry, this may be annoying, but now… because it’s the last time”

Phee did say that.

In casual conversation when I’m spending time with Abel in the back palace. Staring at the flowerbed with nothing, he said “I miss you a little”……

Fee received the flower seedlings with both hands looking important and laughed happily at Abel.

“Thank you. I’ll take care of it.”

When she saw that face, Abel blushed a little, then ran out of her face and said, “Well, then.”

Dropping off that back, Fee whispered.

“Yeah, I’ll see you later…”

Abel shrugged in her heart as she ran through the royal castle garden.

(Damn…!

I felt sorry for myself……

It was something I would know if I thought about it a little bit. She is the king’s wife, albeit cold-handed.

What would happen if that was meeting with a young apprentice knight?

I don’t mind yet. Because you will be punished for what you deserve as a stupid apprentice knight who has favored the king’s wife. But Mr. Fee isn’t. Because of the help and kindness you have given yourself, you will be punished for your innocence, and you will receive further cold treatment with the so-called sleigh.

(Damn……!

I resented my lack of power.

Fee, I hope you don’t have to miss me…… I thought so and even after the injury healed, I went to see Fee. But that was only annoying. I’m just an apprentice knight. And of the falling……

Even if I wanted to help Master Fee, I couldn’t do anything…

And I really must have known.

It’s all an excuse, I just missed you… To that gentle girl who is feeling lonely in the back palace. To that beautiful girl who lives without resentment, even if she is driven by that shade.

My powerlessness, my stupidity, my selfishness, I could only regret this status quo.

A conversation of the samurai popped into Abel’s ear running like that. It was the voice of the samurai who spoke well with Heath.

“Uh Crowe, I want to see you. I want to see you!

“If you’re too persistent, even a sweet Crowe might hate you.”

“Yeah, well, you see, we need to be careful not to be like the Queen of the Side who’s trapped in that place.”

“You’re a stupid woman. I know you hate me for interrupting someone else’s marriage story.”

“I don’t care if you hate me because I have a bad personality at the point of doing that.”

“Ugh! You don’t know anything about them. You’re not saying anything bad! You guys are the ones with bad personality! Craftsmen!”

Abel shouted out to the samurai.

Then I run away.

“Hey, what’s that guy?”

“All of a sudden, you yell at me. What is it?”

Suddenly the maids shrug.

Running away Abel squeaks in her heart.

(Why do they all say bad things about you Phee…)

If you recall, it’s not just the samurai, it’s all bad rumors when there’s talk about you, both among the northern quarters and among the knights.

(You don’t know anything about that kid…)

He’s a sweet kid…

He covered himself for breaking into the womb. He treated me gently for my foot injury. He’s not very good at cooking, but he worked hard, making it for himself and Lynette. He welcomed me gently to the self I came to see without thinking, and at the end of the day, he thought and noted the future for his stupid self.

Being pushed into such a situation doesn’t mean trying to disparage you or anyone, but living without caring for the people around you and hating anyone about you.

Even when Lynette cried, she was around to console. There’s no way I’m really sad. There’s no way I’m not lonely.

I’m sure that thick makeup must be to hide after the tears…

(Nobody tries to find out about that kid…! I don’t try to know what kind of child… That shit is all bad talk……! Damn………!

Its leg stops at the sieve and its mouth squeaks like a groan.

“Aren’t I with you…”

I didn’t think the Knights deserved it because they were poor about Heath.

I didn’t even know who they were because they were upset. I kept thinking they were bad personalities. And I’ve been saying bad things all along. Without knowing who he was, he just made a fool of himself and looked down and kept hating him.

All the time……

The wind of dusk makes my cheeks sweaty.

When I looked at the palm of his hand, there was one petal left. One white little petal, very similar to her, white and beautiful.

Abel whines one word she couldn’t say then.

“One day I’ll get you out of this place and show you.”

It is a promise sworn by one immature apprentice knight for a princess imprisoned in solitude.

I couldn’t put it into words, I couldn’t tell him, a promise he’s the only one I know.
