Chapter 8 : Roy as He Thought Alone

Where did I go wrong?

As I stare at Meg’s sleeping face, my heart is filled with regret.

She told me that she liked me.

She is my wife.

I told her I liked someone else.

On our wedding day no less.

The one I like is Meg.

How can I say that now?

She became my fiancée because she could use healing magic.

Meg can heal any wounds.

We treat it as a national treasure, but somewhere along the way, like wind magic, it has become like any other magic.

I thoughtlessly assumed that there would be no burden on the user side.

But the reality is different.

As Meg uses her healing magic, her body breaks down.

Meg’s organs will not be able to perform at their full potential.

It was a researcher working for the castle who figured it out.

It was us, the royals, who covered it up.

We used Meg, and even if she was destroyed, it didn’t matter, we concluded.

She is called a saint, and her power sometimes threatens even the royal family.

My parents didn’t approve of that.

I did not wish to defend my country using Meg.

Meg is now healing the injuries of those who can afford to pay a lot of money.

But the money never reaches Meg.

I want to set her free.

On the wedding day.

She was wearing a pure white wedding dress, and she was so beautiful that I couldn’t look directly at her.

Her black hair shines against her dress, and her red eyes make my heart flutter.

As long as she is in the castle, her heart will never be fulfilled.

I hoped she would give us up.

If she says she’s going to leave the castle, or if she says she wants a divorce.

I am happy to lend a hand.

But she said that “as long as Roy-sama was happy, that was all that mattered”, and she always went about her work with a smile on her face.

And yet, someday you will grow tired of me.

Meg said that she liked me.

I thought I was happy.

What a blessing it is to have someone you love tell you that they love you as well.

But that’s why I want Meg to live a long life.

I want you to be free.

It reminds me of Linon, the daughter of Baron Savonley.

Linon has a manly personality and is a good friend of mine.

She is also the only person I can talk to about Meg.

Linon had asked while making cookies.

“Does Meg-sama really want to be free?”

I couldn’t answer that.

I don’t know how Meg feels.

That’s because I never took the opportunity to talk to her.

But Meg’s power is too valuable for a human named Meg to be trapped in this castle.

That’s why I’m here.

I gently kissed Meg’s cheek as she slept quietly.

I want to set Meg free.
