Letter from Aris (1)
[Aris from the castle.]
[Greetings, Mother. I'm Aris. It's getting colder and colder, and I'm just curious about how my distant mother is doing. I'm worried that my sisters are doing well at school, that my grandmother is doing well, that she's been home for a long time.]
[I think you're probably worried about how your daughter is doing. Don't worry about me. I'm doing well, and the First Lady still loves me very much. She praises me that I'm a good worker and she strokes my hair sometimes.]
[Last time, the princess herself was rewarded for doing such a great job welcoming such important guests. Of course, it was possible because of the efforts of all of you other maids, not just me. Oh, actually, it's been a long time since I've sent you a letter because I have something to tell you.]
[Actually... I think I need to quit this job. Of course, it's not something I can just quit, but I was able to leave thanks to the strength of the person I told you about earlier. I didn't know anything and I didn't learn anything, but I found out that he wants me so hard.... I had no choice but to follow him.]

But right now, I'm just happy to be with him. Ahh! And don't worry too much, I'll continue to pay your bills. Anyway... I feel like something important is about to start. I feel like my life is about to change. I'm not sure what yet... Ah. It's time to go. We'll talk more about it in the future! I'll write to you again later, Mother. Be healthy!]

[I'm here at Lindell. Mother! It's a free city where foreigners live. It's full of curiosity. The person I told you about the other day sent me here personally. I've never been on a Griphon in my life, and I'm so nervous... I was lucky to arrive safely. Everyone in this room is nice and nice.]
[I can't believe I'm with them because they're all capable wizards and swordsmen. And the rumored dragon saw it with his own eyes! It was so big and so majestic, and I let go of my leg.]
[It's actually a little scary. It's not a dragon, it's just the way I am now. Suddenly, the environment changes because it's unfamiliar to people like me. Long, golden hair that the town boasted about was cut with short hair and cut with a sword that didn't look like it was fit for the first time.]
[I look in the mirror and I feel like someone else is standing. Of course, I was relieved that he said he was a good fit, but I still can't show you how to be a woman. I feel uneasy because I don't think I can meet my expectations. I'm just curious about what I can do.]
T ra ns l a ted by jp m t l.c om [And... I don't know why, but I felt hated by some wizard here. The little dragon hates me. Even priests are cold, so I don't know what to do. What did I do wrong? I'm used to being hated, but I want to get along with them, and I'm so worried. I wonder if you don't like my low profile. I can't help but feel a little bitter.]

[Aris posted from Castle Rock.]
[I'm in Castle Rock! And it's been a long time since I've seen him. I've actually heard a lot of stories. I've learned many things. I couldn't understand everything he said, but I didn't think I was wrong. I thought he was unusual, but who knew if he was thinking that much? I wondered if Lady Benigore had sent us a lion.]
On the second day, I met Earl Castle. He told me not to say anything, but I could hear the Earl going into the room separately and the Earl having a loud discussion.]
[I was a little anxious, but Earl Castle seemed to agree with him. The baby Marilyn has been very angry recently. It may seem like something's come up, but it's not something I care about. I'm glad things ended well for you.]
[I've heard rumors that Duchess Kathryn and the Earl Elise are headed to Castle Rock. I thought it was okay, but it's getting bigger and bigger than I thought it would be. even more so because we're about to give an important speech tomorrow.]
[I intend to work hard. As much as the people who are working for the Empire, I must do my best as possible. I think the next letter will be posted somewhere else. You need to stay healthy. I made a little bit of money today. Don't be surprised. Don't tell anyone. It's not bad money, so rest assured. I'll cut it short.]

[Post Aris in an unknown place.]
[Did I mention my first speech ended well? I'm a little distracted, so I'm confused as to whether he wrote me a letter. He's already given his fourth speech, unlike worries about how well he can do it. I was trembling and worried, but I was encouraged by the enthusiastic cheerleaders. And I think I've gotten a little used to it now.]
[Until now, I thought I just had to do what He told me.... I think I've started to change my mind a little bit lately. Yeah, I'm under his influence, too. It made me feel like I had widened my gaze at the world, not just the background around me. In fact, I haven't seen him since Castle Rock. But when I look at the book that he gave me, I always feel like I'm with him.]
This must all be the will of Venegor, right? I'm not the only one who's changed. Number one, number two, number three. With each passing moment, I feel like people's cheers are growing a little bit. Yeah, everybody's changing.]
[It's been a long day since he came back for me. I heard you're coming with Cardinal Basel... I think he'll tell you another important story. I don't know if I should be in this position. I keep thinking that, but if he's right, it wouldn't be weird for me to raise my voice. I'll write you a letter, Mother.]

[I had a meeting with the eight seats of the Empire. Now that one of you isn't there, you're probably right to say seven. Heh heh. Unlike I didn't understand anything at first, I can now understand what they were saying. I was lucky that I was doing well. I thought we had to be desperate.]
[You shouldn't be lacking in speech every day. Of course, I'm going to give another speech today. Today it's for foreigners. I'm afraid they will accept me, but the Seven Kingdoms smiled and welcomed me. I'm sure the estramorwn will love me, too.]
[The Queen of Mercy and the Lady of Mercy welcomed you with open arms. Especially since she nodded quietly and I still wonder what that means. Rumor has it that he can see the future. Is there anything good going on in my future? Perhaps you will enter his concubine! That could be it!]
[I was reminded of this, but I heard that he is speaking with the Empress now. Yes, that charlia. I knew that Charlia was craving him, but I never thought she would move like this. Fortunately, he didn't seem to have much interest in her. That dog # # # is dead # is # # good # ten # #, right? Ink spilled. Heh heh. It's nothing, so don't worry about it.]
And did I mention in my last letter that I met with Cardinal Basel? Yes. Luckily, I was able to talk to Cardinal Basel. In the beginning, I didn't think he was worried because he was so close with Cardinal Basel... Cardinal Basel nodded his head as expected. He asked me to shake his hand, and he said, well done. This is what he said. In fact, Cardinal Basel may be crowned Pope when this is all over! Of course it's a secret! Mother!]

[Mother, it's been a really long time. It's been a short time, but it's been so chaotic. It was a bit of a distraction. I didn't have time to write. I don't think there will be any economic difficulties because I put a lot of money into my life last time. You haven't used them all, have you? It can't be her personality.]
[I have a lot to say, but I don't have much time, Mother. I just wanted you to know that I'm okay. Just in case, I'd like to set aside my living money today. Don't be so surprised by the money he gave you. And burn all the letters I've sent you. Don't tell anyone. Please, sir. You have to burn them all. Everything.]

[I think I know what I've been given. Mother, we've already come this far to chase after him in a frenzy. I'm still speechless, actually. It's hard to understand all of His words and I don't know what's going on right now, but as time goes on, I feel the mission is to help at least this little force. He told me that I seemed to have changed. Heh heh. Of course, I was still relieved that you said, "Aris is Aris."]
[Of course, I got to know him a little better. I was ashamed to say this, but I was able to make a small kiss with him. I don't know if he likes me. I actually had the courage. I still haven't forgotten the look on his surprised face. I think what I've been doing has made me strong.]
[If it were normal, I would never have been able to move like that... Heh heh. Anyway, he didn't look that bad either. He patted me on the shoulder. After that, I thought I was hated by the Wizard, but I couldn't hide my heart anymore.]
[I actually liked it a little bit at first. All I could think about was how good it would be to be in his concubine. He's talented. He's compassionate. But as I spent time together and worked toward the same goal, my heart grew bigger and bigger and I couldn't handle it.]
Tr ans l a t ed by jpmtl .com [Ah, of course, it's not just about him that's grown. The same is true of my heart for the Empire. Did I tell you I had a mission? Yeah, I had a better mission than I do now. I was born a humble man, I grew up a humble man, but there was no such thing as a humble life in the world. He said it himself.]
[My brothers and I and my mother and my grandmother are all the same. The princess and I are the same. He must have known this a long time ago. That's why he respected me. Unlike Charlia.]
[Mother.]
[Maybe we should do something that could be dangerous. Not just me, but my comrades who share my will will be in danger. But don't worry too much. I would risk my life to make an empire for my mother and sisters to live in. He said that when you have to bleed, you have to bleed. Yeah, I was scared at first, but I'm not scared anymore.]
[As much as the tears he shed for the Empire to sacrifice, I am ready to throw everything away. I won't let tears come out of his eyes anymore. Never.]
[Yes, never. By giving up everything I have.]
[I'm ready to throw everything. Even if I die, the blood I shed for the Empire will be fed on the future.]
[Mother.]
[I'm going to fight. Correct any misconceptions during that time, and for democracy. For the greater good. We will fight for the sacred democracy.]
[Never come out after three days.]
[Do nothing and stay home. Maybe my people will go that way. They'll protect you and your sisters. I'll tell you again.]
[Never come out after three days. Never.]
