Chapter 95
95 – Afterword – Waltz for a Happy Ending (2)
***
“Oh, full. I didn’t want to eat breakfast.”
After having breakfast with Alexia, Maru was walking down the hallway alone.
He was only released from his mother during morning work hours, and he sighed deeply.
“You have to do this every day.”
It was hard last night because my mother kept bothering me.
In front of others, she was an extremely strict and fearful mother, but in front of the floor, she behaved like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.
‘Are you going to kiss me good night?’
‘When I wake up, I should kiss him saying he slept well.’
‘Shall we have lunch together today?’
Dada da da!
Suddenly, I heard the sound of someone running behind me.
Maru walked down the hallway thinking that he was a person with urgent business.
“still… You should do well while you are alive.”
Dada Dada Dada!
“If I leave on a trip soon, I won’t see you again for a while.”
Dada da da da da da da da da da da da!
baek!
“Ouch!”
Maru, who was hit in the back of the head out of nowhere, screamed.
It was painful enough to break my bones.
I shook my head and looked back.
A girl with a playful face stood proudly.
“Whoops.”
oh fuck
Come to think of it, I was also in the imperial palace at this time.
“I really want to die!”
“You said you slept with His Majesty again? Oh my gosh mama Alexandro still needs to spread the word that he can’t sleep without his mother. I really hate it. I hate it.”
“Don’t tremble if you don’t even know.”
“I don’t know what. Don’t you know I’m three years older than you? really! I became a debutant! Debut on the social stage on the weekend! Envy! Little one!”
“I will socialize even on uncultured subjects.”
“Does culture have to be learned? You can’t show it on the outside. like this.”
The asshole quickly pretended to be dignified.
“What do you think? Is it cultured?”
“It’s disgusting, so get out of here.”
“On the subject of Mama Boy. Me~long.”
“Watch your back!”
“You be careful! ha ha ha!”
The girl laughed out loud and left.
Her name is Charlotte.
She is the princess of the Principality of Tria.
Ever since I was little, I was annoyed every time I saw her.
However, it wasn’t once or twice that he was embarrassed because everyone gathered together, crying so loudly that the imperial palace would tell him to leave if he took revenge.
It was that year that Audrit sent a letter to Basilite Kingdom a long time ago that would cause misunderstanding.
“It’s embarrassing, but still… ”
Maru soon softened his angry mind.
Getting slapped on the back of the head by Charlotte was also nice, as it was nostalgic for the old days.
‘I’m crazy.’
Kww.
laughed alone
Charlotte later grows up and becomes best friends with Audrit.
Audrit, who spent half of her life in the Empire after marriage, sometimes missed her hometown and felt depressed, but Charlotte was a great source of strength each time.
Please forgive me for today’s work, even for that reason.
Maru thought so and moved again.
In addition, after getting married, Charlotte’s personality became docile and became a true woman, but she was forced to divorce her husband because she couldn’t give birth to a child.
At that time, Maru remarried a young and handsome nobleman by the power of the emperor, who had been weaving every day in the corner of the room.
“Charles, the day will come when you will thank me.”
“Your Highness the Crown Prince!”
The lady-in-waiting ran down the hallway with an urgent face.
“I have something to tell you.”
“Why are you like that?”
She unfolded the white cloth she was holding in her hand.
There was evidence that someone had vomited blood.
“This is the blanket that Your Highness brought in yesterday, a child named Kiera, who sleeps on it. that child I doubt that you are sick.”
“ah.”
Maru nodded.
“Take it easy. It’s not that I’m seriously ill, it’s because I’ve been ruining my body from living on the streets for a long time.”
“Did you know?”
“Yes, I knew. Where is Keira now?”
“Now the child… ”
Hearing the maid’s words, I immediately headed for Kiera’s place.
I left the main palace and went into the building where the lowly maids who were in charge of chores were staying.
Kiera was trembling in her room, not doing anything.
“Sorry, sorry… ! Sorry for not telling you it hurts… ! Sobbing… !”
“No, it’s okay. Calm down, it’s okay.”
Kiera was afraid of being kicked out.
Shivering like an aspen tree, he curled up in a corner and hiccupped.
The look was so pitiful.
Maru swallowed and quietly held out the elixir.
“drink. It is a medicine that cures your disease.”
“really… ?”
Kiera received the vial.
He stared at the vial, grabbed it tightly with both hands, and lowered his arms.
“Hey, I’ll have a drink later.”
It’s only been a day since I met her.
Maybe it’s because I haven’t built enough trust?
It seemed to suspect that it was a bad drug.
“Drink in front of me. now.”
“I can’t eat anything right now because my stomach hurts… ”
“Good. Then you must drink it. hurry.”
Kiera hesitated for a while, rolling her eyes here and there.
However, in the end, he yielded to Maru’s urging and opened the bottle cap and inhaled it.
“Gulp, gulp.”
“Don’t leave anything behind, just drink it all. It is a very expensive drug.”
Maru smiled happily.
After that day.
The Elixir was indeed magical as rumored and Kiera was no longer sick.
“Just as the prince said, it really healed!”
After recovering from her illness, Kiera couldn’t contain her joy and began to live each day to the fullest.
And the way he looked at Maru changed dramatically.
The one who saved me from a life that felt like hell.
Every time Maru visits, Kiera’s eyes that look at him are filled with trust and affection.
“The Crown Prince is a really nice person.”
However, Maru only watched from a distance like a tall man.
Even when I met her, I did not cross a certain line.
I kept a moderate distance so that it would not be misunderstood as love or affection.
In the midst of that, I could feel Kiera changing every day.
“I’m glad Kiera seems to be adjusting well to court work.”
Unlike the future, Kiera now lives in a group with the ladies-in-waiting, has developed a sense of cooperation and responsibility, and is learning a lot from being broken by the chief maid.
At the same time, the personality required in social life was being refined and the character was changing properly.
Things she could never experience in the future.
Kiera, a beggar, immediately embarked on an adventurous life as soon as she gained the power of a hero.
without any learning.
without any character training.
It was like a wild beast with only instinct.
On the other hand, the current Kiera was learning how to communicate with the world by experiencing various emotions and contemplation while bumping into many people.
Whenever Maru goes to see Kiera from time to time, she cries, laughs, discusses her concerns with great joy, and truly smells like a man.
It was a completely different look from the Kiera of the future, who was quiet and infinitely cold when dealing with people.
“I like that it is lively.”
Maru made a satisfied expression as he watched Kiera lively chatting with the ladies-in-waiting from afar.
I felt rewarded because I seemed to have accomplished one goal of coming here even while violating the laws of nature.
“Kiera seems to be ready now and should prepare soon.”
Get ready to meet Audrit, Lucy, Luciella and Natalie.
In my heart, I want to go on a trip right now, but it’s too soon.
We had to wait for them to mature.
They must be teenage girls who are busy learning and mastering day by day.
It took a year for Kiera from the future to discover the power of a hero and to be acknowledged by the world.
After that, the two of them started a full-fledged adventure together, and at that time, they met Lucy, Natalie, and Yoris, who had just started to make their names known to the world.
Also, he had to wait another year or two before meeting Luciella.
Because the monastery incident that sparked the meeting with her will explode three years later.
Before that, I’m still thinking about whether or not to visit and cast the demon.
The moment I regain my memory, it is obvious that I will be hugged without even trying, but can I handle it?
If he was in his emotional state right now, he would not be able to resist the push of Luciella, whom he was thankful for and missed, and he was afraid of crossing the line before he even met Audrit and Lucy.
I’m worried that I’ll be married to Luciella first, not knowing if it’s after the ranks are sorted out among women.
“I’m nervous because I want to meet everyone soon, but if possible, I’d like to meet at a time similar to the future. so as not to change history. That’s how I like to use the information I got from the future. Let’s devote ourselves to training for a year.”
Maru was also just a boy with a youthful face.
A year later, he turned around, vowing to go out into the world fully prepared.
Meanwhile, one of the ladies-in-waiting accidentally found him leaving.
“Look over there! It’s the Crown Prince!”
“Wow, is it real?”
“She has black hair, but her skin is white, so she can be seen from afar.”
“You look good today… ! I want to marry him!”
“You’re still like that now, but when you grow up later, then you’ll really run around all the women of the ecliptic… !”
Kiera, along with the maids, was staring at Maru’s back in dismay.
Soon, a smile spread across her face and her heart skipped a beat for no reason.
‘I hope my brother visits my room more often than occasionally… I’ll have to serve you a delicious dish next time.’
***
Sleeping with my mother every day was tiring, but it paid off.
In order to feel the taste of the one-handed ax that he tasted in the future again, he begged his mother to buy the best one-handed axe in bed, and thanks to this, he was able to easily get two world-renowned luxury one-handed axes.
With them, I practiced and practiced until my hands bled every day.
And finally.
Maru left the adventure in a hurry after not being able to endure it for less than a month, let alone half a year.
