Chapter 15
The current King must be killed, somehow.
What an ideal power, to be able to kill people just by touching them.
I guess I’m no longer a saint, but a god of death.
Rest until the child is born.
I can’t even get out of my room, and the maid keeps telling me the same thing.
He is an important heir.
He must be brought into this world.
I grit my teeth and take a deep breath to endure it.
Don’t lose your dignity.
That’s what my family taught me.
It seems that I, a lowly being, have mastered etiquette and still have an air of nobility in me.
No matter how the air changes, I am still the next Queen.
Wearing a loose-fitting, green dress, I sat on a chair and patted my swollen belly.
My feelings of anger can’t be controlled by me anymore.
I was tormented by the frustration of not being able to find anywhere to vent.
My family shunned me and treated me like I was the murderer of my sister’s husband.
Even though I used my power for the sake of the royal family, the King only thinks of me as a pawn.
And Roy-sama, whom I’ve always loved.
Not only did he not like me, but he didn’t even try to protect me.
It’s frustrating. I’m really frustrated.
I stare at my pale white hands.
With these hands, I have healed the illnesses and wounds of many people.
But who knows whose life I’ll take next?
Would it be better if I don’t try to use magic anymore, or…
“How are you feeling, Meg-sama?”
There was a knock on the door of the room and it was Yuri who came in.
He still has the same tough look in his eyes.
I’m sure his injuries are healed by now, but I’m sure it was Roy-sama’s concern that he took the time to talk to me instead of going to Roy-sama.
Giving me the soldier he trusts.
I’m not going to do anything.
“I’m pretty used to it. I want to see this child soon. “
I spit out those words while patting my stomach.
Yuri was staring at me.
“Did something happen with Roy-sama?”
I don’t know what meaning is exactly contained in his words.
I just wanted to get this whole thing out of my mind.
“It’s just a lovers’ quarrel. I can’t wait to be free.”
I look at Yuri, but my eyes can’t capture his image accurately.
Ever since I talked to Roy-sama, I’ve been feeling empty inside.
I give up thinking, even if I turn hostility into power.
I want to be free.
Set me free.
I didn’t care what happened to me as long as I was loved.
“Meg-sama has changed a lot.”
“…yeah?”
“When I first saw you, Meg-sama, I thought you were fragile and vulnerable, and that one day you would crack. But now, you are like a soldier on the battlefield.”
“In the castle, you have to fight.”
“…I owe Meg-sama for healing my injuries.”
“You don’t owe me anything. I just used my powers.”
“The power that consumes the life of a person as large as me.”
“Yuri will do very many things for this country.”
“I want to serve you.”
There was a sudden gasp.
It was the sound of me taking a breath.
It echoed in the quiet room and I gently hugged my own shoulder.
“Yuri, you can’t do that.”
“…I know that.”
You don’t understand.
But I didn’t know what to tell him.
Yuri bowed and walked out of the room.
His back was somewhat lonely and unsteady.
I can’t stop him, either.
Even if Yuri were to turn his sword against the royal family, what does it matter to me?
I will never forget those eyes full of hatred.
That’s enough for now, so please forgive me.
