“Wake up.”
A voice that was not high but had a sharp feeling sounded indoors.
I could tell one thing as soon as I heard the voice.
That I don’t have to pretend to sleep anymore.
The maids held my arms from both sides and raised only my upper body. One held my head up under the tick.
Well, the next turn might be to slap my cheeks or splash water.
I don’t think it’s a good idea to take it either way. So I opened my eyes.
The answer was either the latter because one of the maids held a bowl of water, which seemed to flinch as if she’s embarrassed.
I looked all over the place, leaving behind the hesitant maid holding a bowl of water that had nowhere to go.
‘This is......’
An en-hall of a large building like a villa.
Armed knights standing in order in all directions.
‘And...’
I looked straight ahead.
A high and colourful chair like a podium, and a woman buried in arrogance in it, with slightly wide-open eyes, was looking down this side.
As soon as I saw her, I lost my words.
‘Really look alike.’
Anyway, since it’s a biological mother-daughter relationship, I guess there must be some similarities.
But this was more than expected.
A clear, wave-like detection to the waist and amber-coloured eyes with a slightly more pale border than mine.
Her expression is better than me. Overall, she was like a twin, not mother and daughter, except that she was generally rigid and that traces of time were slightly buried.
The queen had a bewildered look on her face and opened her mouth.
“Wasn’t she asleep?”
“Well, it can’t be. I’m sure I drugged her.”
On the left side of the chair where the queen was sitting, I could hear the count’s hurried reply.
Listening to the voice, I recalled the pill that Count Suena gave me in the carriage.
‘Who would swallow it?’
Of course, I wrapped it in my palm pretending to eat and threw it away in the bushes.
You didn’t swallow it either, but you really gave it to me to swallow it? With that very suspicious act of you?
The queen said again as I recalled Count Suena’s sloppy performance.
“Well, it doesn’t really matter. Anyway, it’s important that you brought her here safely.”
“That’s right. That’s it.”
“By the way...”
The queen glanced straight at me and put it together.
“You look alike.”
I felt strange.
She and I look so alike. To a bewildering extent.
“You look more like me than Miel. Should I call this ironic? It’s funny.”
‘Miel?’
Soon after, I was able to solve my curiosity about unfamiliar names right away.
Behind the luxurious chair where the queen was sitting, some red hair peeped out her eyes, but when our eyes met, she hurriedly hid herself in behind.
‘......that’s the princess who is twins with me.’
For over 20 years, the side who was decided to be saved, while I was the opposite, who was supposed to be killed.Thê source of this content n/o/v/(el)bi((n))
Miel. Is she older or younger than me?
“Why? Can’t I be shameless if I’m about to die?”
“Hey, princess! No, Duke Princess!”
Recently, a familiar voice entered my ear.
Count Suena jumped from his seat and brought up his words.
“What are you doing now? You really don’t understand what’ situation? You’re really on the verge of death, who can save you? No. All the family knights you brought earlier died there, you understand?”
“What do you want to say?”
“You have to cry! You have to deny the reality that this can’t be happening, and you have to be frustrated and despairing and shivering! What’s wrong with you? What the hell do you believe in?”
The Count’s voice was filled with anger, beyond understanding.
As if he was very offended by not crying and afraid as he wished.
“Or you have to already be on the run? Do you want me to clean it up again? You’ve come to see your mother, who gave birth to you in 20 years, and you’ve been murdered. That’s in your own mother’s hand. The shocking betrayal that would never happen again...”
“Stop.”
The queen raised her hand.
Stupid Count Suena talking as much as he could with excitement, closed his mouth with a face that noticed his mistake.
Stupid.....
The queen kept staring at me as if she had decided to settle the count’s reproach later. She said.
“There’s nothing in Nessen now, as the Count said. All the family’s knights that you brought to protect you are already dead, and now this place is in the middle of the forest, and there are soldiers out there who will move by just one gesture of my hand. If not, there are plenty of knights here right now who can take my orders and cut your throat even now.”
The queen’s amber eyes were heartily questioned.
“You don’t think I’m going to be afraid of the Empire’s consequences and not kill you? Then you’re wrong. I told you this place would soon be discovered as a rebel hideout. The criminal who killed you will be a rebel force in this country. Not me nor the royal family.”
“........”
“It’s hard to think you’re hiding something in that body right now. Because the maids have already done a full-body search with you. Even if you had, you wouldn’t be able to take it out with your arms tied like that. I’m really curious what you’re so bold about in this situation.”
“........”
“Will we know the answer if we put a knife to that soft neck?”
The queen, who said so, looked in my eyes. Then a knight on my left picked out his sword.
The sharp blade of a well-cut blade reflected the light inside the room.
The queen opened her mouth, looking at it with a calm eye.
“Do you have anything to say?”
“......Thank God.”
“What?”
“You said it was a mistake to keep me alive, and you called this my grave, and I was relieved that I didn’t feel disappointed even if you really tried to kill me.”
I mean it.
I’m so relieved that I can’t feel such a big emotion.
“Because I didn’t expect it, so I won’t be disappointed.”
“What are you talking about.......?”
“Your Highness the queen.”
I smiled round and round. I looked up at my opponent, who looked at me with no expression at all, and said,
“Question. Where is this dress the prettiest?”
“What?”
“A glossy green skirt? A line that wraps around the body meticulously and falls in a custom-made size?”
“What the hell have you been talking about since before.”
“Nope, that’s the wrong answer. The answer is....”
Quang!
“... don’t be fooled.”
“You, Your Highness!”
The door that connects the room and the outside opened roughly.
The soldier’s face was black in the face when he came in. He cried out without apologizing or asking for forgiveness.
“Monster!”
