Is the Lost Princess Unexpectedly Loved? – Chapter 129

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟏𝟐𝟗

Without eating a meal, I shut myself in the bedroom, continually thinking about the same thing.

No answer came. . .

ㅤ

If. . .I implemented this plan,

And if asked why I knew such a thing,

If everyone found out that I was a witch in my previous life,

ㅤ

If Chris and Kyle ended up hating me. . .what should I do?

ㅤ

I couldn’t speak at that moment when I thought so.

I was thinking about how to avoid going to war with Kokodia all this time.

I thought I had a good idea, but 

It was difficult to explain without talking about my previous life.

ㅤ

I wanted to make it look like I came up with the idea by reading old documents I bought from Ahrens,

But the job as a royal proxy was busy, and I didn’t get to read much.

Besides, Kyle said that he had read most of the documents.

I don’t think that just because I read them, something that hasn’t been known so far will become apparent.

No matter how I thought about it, I couldn’t come up with an excuse.

ㅤ

“May I come in?”

ㅤ

I heard a voice from outside the bedroom door. It was Kyle’s voice.

ㅤ

“I’m here too. Princess, may we enter?”

ㅤ

“Hey, don’t open it on your own.”

ㅤ

It seems Chris is there too.

Before I could reply, Chris opened the door, and Kyle stopped him.

ㅤ

ㅤ

“What’s the matter?”

ㅤ

“It’s not ‘what’s the matter?’

We came to check on you because you’re locked in your room without eating.”

ㅤ

“Here, you can at least drink the soup, right?”

ㅤ

What was on the tray was potato potage.

Next to it were roasted nut sweets on a small plate.

Although I hadn’t felt hungry until now, my stomach growled the moment I saw that.

ㅤ

“See? It’s not good to think on an empty stomach.”

ㅤ

“. . .Yeah. I’ll eat.”

ㅤ

I took the tray, scooped up the potato soup with a spoon.

As I put it in my mouth, the usual gentle taste flowed down my throat.

Delicious. . .

ㅤ

When I started eating, the two of them looked relieved.

I may have worried them by shutting myself up without saying anything.

ㅤ

I don’t want to be hated by Chris and Kyle, who are always by my side like this.

But if there’s a war, there will be deaths.

I can remain silent about it since I don’t want my past life to be known.

Since no one knows, there’s no need to be blamed.

ㅤ

If we go to war, if the land is ravaged, if there are deaths,

Will I be able to remain calm if this country is no longer peaceful?

ㅤ

Can I calmly take Chris and Kyle’s hands?

ㅤ

ㅤ

“Hey, Princess. You’re trying to do something, aren’t you?”

ㅤ

“Eh?”

ㅤ

“I knew that Sofia was deep in thought.

Trying various things to avoid going to war with Kokodia as well.

. . .Even though the situation is so pressing,

There must be a reason for stopping the preparations for war with Kokodia, right?”

ㅤ

“. . .Why?”

ㅤ

Why do Chris and Kyle know?

I stopped scooping the soup and looked at them.

ㅤ

“You know? Princess, your thoughts are more apparent than you think.”

ㅤ

“Eh? Is it showing on my face?”

ㅤ

“No, it’s not showing on your face at all.”

ㅤ

Before I could say, “then why?” I was shown by Kyle.

ㅤ

“Look, your magic is leaking. . . .When something happens to Sofia, it affects her magic.”

ㅤ

“No way!”

ㅤ

“It’s true. Look.”

ㅤ

When I looked at my hand, I could indeed see that the magic was leaking.

. . .Eh? Has it always been like this?

ㅤ

“. . .Calm down. I’m not telling you to share everything that’s bothering you.

But, I can see that you’re trying to do something and that you’re worried about it.

Are you worried that it might not succeed?”

ㅤ

“. . .No, I think it will succeed.”

ㅤ

“Then don’t worry anymore.”

ㅤ

“Huh?”

ㅤ

Don’t worry? But, even if you say that. . .

ㅤ

ㅤ

“Kyle, I, and everyone else will obey if the Princess says so.

No one will object.

No matter how absurd the strategy is, if the Princess says it will succeed.”

ㅤ

“You won’t object?”

ㅤ

“Yeah. Up to now, everyone understands what Sofia has done.

We know that she doesn’t act without thinking.

It’s okay. You think it will succeed, right?

We won’t stop you. Believe in us.”

ㅤ

“Believe in Kyle? Believe in Chris?. . .”

ㅤ

“We promised to be with you until the end.”

ㅤ

“We said we would protect this country together with Princess and Kyle.

Please try to trust us a little more.”

ㅤ

I want to believe in them. That they will be with me no matter what happens.

But, I’m scared. Because I love them both.

ㅤ

“Come on, it’s already late at night. Eat this, and let’s sleep together.”

ㅤ

“Together? Both of you will be with me?”

ㅤ

“If we leave you alone, you’ll probably think about unpleasant things.

We’ll sleep beside you, so go to sleep.”

ㅤ

“Come on, finish eating the rest.”

ㅤ

Being told that, I scooped the soup into my mouth, and I was about to cry with relief.

After I finished eating everything, I was patted on the head and praised,

Then lifted up and put to bed.

ㅤ

My right hand was held by Chris, my left hand by Kyle,

I fell asleep while being stroked on the head many times.

ㅤ

. . .Can I believe it? Is it okay?

No matter what happens, the two of them won’t leave me.

ㅤ

In the morning, when I woke up, the two were still beside me.

The doubt hasn’t disappeared, but my mind is made up.

ㅤ

“Once preparations are ready, we’ll go to the audience chamber.”
