NOVEL NEXT Chapter 111
111
Now I have parents in front of me who are blindly losing their voices.
It was my father who immediately returned to sanity. But instead of the usual sober gaze, I can see my father’s upset from where his eyes are shaking.
“You surprise me…… If my daughter returns from Milicier territory and thinks it’s been a long time since we’ve had a family reunion… I didn’t expect such a report”
“Um, sorry…”
“No, Rachel never apologizes. It’s not like that. No way, the Spirit King… and the Dark Spirit King existed, and I never thought my daughter would be able to give me protection, etc. I was surprised at the unexpected.”
When my father turned a kind look at me, he took the cup in front of him as if to calm himself down, sipped a sip of tea and exhaled deeply.
“Rachel, I’m so glad you got your magic back.”
“Thank you, Mother. I’m sorry to keep you worried.”
“It’s okay. Because if you’re well, that’s all my mother’s happy about.”
My parents sitting in line on the couch across from me, what I reported…… I mean, at first I was stunned by the fact that I had the protection of the Spirit King, but gradually the comprehension was catching up, and the strength of my face was unraveling.
Above all, they said they’ve been waiting for me to get home from the Milicier house late last night, and when I got out of the carriage, I was surprised that my parents stood in line at the front door.
But I guess that’s also what worried my parents the last time I came home unconscious.
“The question is, what will Your Majesty do with this case in his ear?”
A moment of loose air tingles again at my father’s words.
– Yes, there’s something about His Majesty.
When I think of His Majesty’s face, I remember that cold gaze, and I feel the blues chill all the time.
“I’m talking about Your Majesty, so I’m going to take advantage of the fact that the Virgin was born under the protection of the Spirit King of Light and Darkness in his reign.”
“You… Rachel was told by His Majesty to dissolve his engagement with His Royal Highness the King. That’s… using rachels, etc.”
“Oh, I know what you’re trying to say. But His Majesty is like that.”
This time it will be in His Majesty’s ear in the not so distant future. Of course, both my father and I will know that we cannot keep quiet. On top of that, you’re worried about me.
When my father sighed deeply, he turned a caring gaze at me.
“It is His Royal Highness and Viscount Julion, and us, who find out that Rachel has received the protection of the Spirit King. That’s all we got so far, right?
“Yes, Your Highness also tells me that we have to move carefully on this matter, so report it only to your father and mother.”
“Right…. Your Highness really puts you first.”
“Yep.”
“I’m relieved.”
In my father’s words, I feel faith in His Highness. From the time His Majesty told me to dissolve my engagement, I find that my father’s appreciation of His Majesty has declined considerably, which is why I am heartily relieved that my father often thinks of His Highness.
My father noticed my worrying gaze and turned a gentle smile at me.
“In this day and age, a king like His Royal Highness may be required.”
Once again, my father groans as he shifts his gaze out of the big window when he drinks tea.
“What does that mean”
“His Highness is only inheriting that sire’s blood, charismatic and actionable. But unlike His Majesty, he’s still young, so he’s flexible.”
“Does age matter?
I agree that there are similarities between His Majesty and His Highness. Both have a presence as an overwhelming king that catches people’s eyes, an atmosphere that seems capable of silencing the blinking in an instant just by standing.
But in knowing His Highness deeply, I gradually no longer thought His Majesty and His Highness were alike. I’m sure it might be because I found out that his Majesty’s sunny, warm gaze and His Majesty’s icy gaze, and the air that surrounds him, are completely different.
Nevertheless, age……? Though I’ve been back three years since I was 18, the idea of how it is because I’m young doesn’t really pin.
My father laughed with his eyes, “I don’t know yet Rachel,” because he had a look I couldn’t convince him of.
“Neither do I, but unlike you guys, it’s going to be hard to change gradually this year. Of course, some people, even adults, will be able to look at themselves and change or will have to change.
But I also have a young age, like Rachel, who I am now in so many encounters and break-ups. Denying it can mean denying your life. ”
I guess that means that when I was about my father’s age, I built myself up by having repeatedly failed over various walls and had various experiences.
I am still a parent and have been protected, but leaving the house in the future will add to what I have to do on my own. At that time, there will be a lot of failures, and there will be times when we will have to engage with people who can help us or who can’t really fit in.
But maybe that experience creates itself.
“Perhaps that’s why you want to be relieved by following up to convince yourself that this was a good idea…. Of course, maybe that’s what I feel because I’m married to my mother and Rachel was born and I feel like I can live a good life”
“Father…”
“Recently His Highness looks like the prickliness he hid in his mask has diminished considerably. Seems excellent to hear from others and guide the best in it.”
Is that what His Highness looks like to my father…
That’s what I think, and my mother says to my father, “Well!” and opens his mouth.
“Not disrespectful to the royalty as such…?
“Even though they are subordinates, they are the one who protects the people. Sometimes it’s up to you to decide if the person you serve is right.”
Indeed, my father has the responsibility of my father. I guess we need to pay attention to different places in order to protect those we need to protect with our own hands.
“Besides, I guess Rachel will be Your Highness’s Queen. If so, the power of the Marcel family will be further increased. At the same time, more people try to benefit from it. So, Rachel…”
“Yes, you have to be more firm than I am now”
So is this blessing from the Dark Spirit King.
His Royal Highness was similarly revealing his vigilance over the dangers that come down on me. But what I should aim for is not just people to protect me.
I want to protect my loved ones, too. To do this, it is also necessary for me to identify who the other person is without danger to me or His Highness, rather than just having a sweet idea.
“Rachel, I know how hard you work, and so does your father. But don’t push yourself too far, count on us or Your Highness if you need anything.”
“Yes, Mother. Thank you.”
“So, do you plan to go out with His Highness the day after tomorrow?
As if to pay for the heavy air until earlier, my mother asked me, smiling pleasantly Nico.
“Yes. When I broke up with His Highness on Milician soil, I was invited to an outhouse in the capital of the king. The garden is beautiful and it seems to be called the Flower Palace.”
“Well, the flower palace! It’s one of the most historic detached houses since the founding of the country. Your Highness, you’re a surprisingly romantic.”
“Romantic?”
“No, this is the story. Well, I’d love a spring dress. Watercolor… that yellow flower pattern is good too.”
“Mother… you know, yourself around there…”
I still don’t want to leave this room to look into my dress. I speak to discourage my mother, but my mother shook her neck to the side with her eyes shining.
“Oh, you’re just a few moments away from choosing your daughter’s dress? Let your mother choose.”
“Then I guess my father would choose a hair decoration.”
“Oh, I don’t like it. Your Highness would feel subtle if she found out about the hair decorations her father had chosen to wear on a date. This kind of thing is fun between women. Hey, Rachel.”
“… ha. All right, all right.”
My father exhaled loudly deliberately, and let him flaunt his shoulders. I accidentally leak a laugh out of my mouth at how my parents are doing.
And my father and mother turned their tender merciful gaze on me like that, and the calm air flowed.
