CH 63.2

Mana was disappearing, and the ancient magic of Queen Eve would also be lifted.

The Bureau of Investigation had sent a report that it was expected to be 30 years. Of course, it was just a prediction, and it could have taken 40 or 50 years. It was a first-time occurrence.

Since she was attacked, he went to the Judicial Affairs Bureau to pick her up every day.

He was very busy. The road from the palace to the Judicial Affair Bureau was quite long, and he had to walk the long, long road by himself in time for her arrival.

“Your Highness, how could you get this far…”

There was still a long way to go before she could find her memory and he could tell the whole story.

“I came out early to see you sooner. It’s hard to wait.”

He could wait for so long, alone, until she found her memory and remember her love. But… He wanted to be with her a little sooner.

“Still, you must have had a long way walking alone….”

He didn’t know if the days when he had to wait with all these memories alone would be 30, 40, or 50 years…

“It didn’t matter.”

It didn’t matter.

“When we come here, we come together, but when you pick me up, you walk alone. It is such a one-sided thing… How lonely you would be…”

He felt it every day that he was fine to be the loneliest for the person he loved the most. It was all okay because he loved her.

“On my way to the Judicial Affair Bureau, I was not lonely at all thinking of the story to tell Iveca on the way back. I’m sure that we’ll walk this road together again.”

A long time later, when she remembers everything… Then there would be a lot of stories to tell. There were so many things he hadn’t told her yet. From their first meeting to their marriage. He would tell her all about his heart, how he always kept her by his side, what he was thinking, and the fact that he was always waiting for her.

Eventually, she would whine at him as he made her his Queen, but she would laugh brazenly that she was better off than marrying the fallen nobleman of the Telsy family and quitting her affiliation job.

If she were angry, he would beg until she was satisfied, and if she was embarrassed, he would hold her until she was even more embarrassed.

“It’s actually nice to meet you.”

Fortunately, she liked to meet him.

“Don’t get hurt on the way, don’t get lost or go somewhere unfamiliar, and…”

She would come to him after some time after all, but Daniel could always wait… He didn’t want her to be with a strange person and get hurt, or even have a hard time.

“Please don’t go anywhere else.”

She couldn’t go anywhere he couldn’t reach forever.

She always said the present without thinking, but he remembered everything. All the time he looked into her eyes and thought of his own past and distant future.

“Thank you Iveca.”

“What?”

“Thank you for saying that you liked it. You have to remember it.”

If she was complaining later, or if she was being sad about it, it was just that he had been waiting for her for 30 years… He would hang on her again, saying that she liked it before as an excuse.

She had asked him the reason for this marriage from the beginning.

After all that time, he would be able to answer honestly.

The only reason for this marriage was that he loved her so much that he couldn’t stand it if he didn’t have her around no matter when, no matter what she looked like.

***

He didn’t know how she knew Eve Jean. He had no idea what she was thinking when she knew the name. She even thought that he had another woman in his heart when he treated her so warmly… She really thought he was using her.

He felt like he was hit on the head. He didn’t know she was the type to hide something this much and hurt herself so much.

How deceptive it was for a person to know someone.

He was confident that he knew her better than anyone else. So he finally found her, but he had no idea that she was rotting inside.

“I love you, Your Majesty. I mean it, sincerely.”

Although her appearance had changed differently, her unexpected calm, and confident confession had not changed.

“So I just wanted to be with someone who loved another woman. Even if I feel rotten inside, and my soul is ruined.”

Maybe… He was actually afraid that they didn’t know each other anymore, so that was why they were suffering from the wounds the love inevitably gave.

“Call me Eve, Your Majesty.”
