(From Blue's Perspective)
Dem went to talk to the King of Mazazine the next morning. We did not want to waste any ti.
He had been in a bad mood the whole ti and still had not gotten over the fact that Evan sent those reports. His worry that Evan might be in love with was quite baseless.
First of all, Evan and I knew about each other, but we did not spend much ti together. Knowing soone and spending ti with that person were very important to like soone. Secondly, after getting to know him, I knew that he was not the type of person who would aim for soone who was already in a relationship or married. And thirdly, not all n would fall for .
Just because Ezekiel had liked , he kept thinking that other n would like romantically too.
Evan had a reason why he sent those reports; I believed he wanted to show that he trusted . It was important for us to trust each other completely if we wanted to work together against the dark mage who we believed was my biological father.
When I was going to take a break from work, the sa mage who Evan sent last ti appeared again. She brought yet another letter.
"Tell your lord that it has made upset that he sent a one line letter. It was rather disrespectful since we are not friends. Even friends don't do that," I said to her.
"I will do so, Your Highness."
"You can go now, then."
"Yes," she bowed. "I will take my leave."
"Another letter from that man or whatever?" Perita asked.
"Hmm…"
"Is he the one sending Your Highness reports on the war?"
"Yes," I replied, not paying mind to her much. I was more focused on opening the envelope.
This ti, it was not a one-line letter. Last ti, it made very angry. Reports were alright, but a letter with only one line? That was just too much, especially when they were winning.
Dear Blue, Oh, I think King Detrius will be angry if I call you that. So, I will go with 'Hey there'. What about it?
You must be angry that I sent you a one-line letter yesterday. Haha, I did it on purpose. I wanted to get you angry and then surprise you with the reports.
By now, you must have found out that the reports are not false and we are indeed winning. If everything goes smoothly as planned, we will win within a week or two. Or, maybe sooner than that, who knows? Perhaps I can kill the King and the Queen before the week passes if I am lucky.
You have done the job perfectly in Lacuna, I heard. I thought it would end there, but I did not know you would kill the King of Lacuna as well. No one suspects you either. It seems you are not as innocent as I thought you are, or perhaps this new environnt has changed you. If King Detrius doesn't have an effect on you, that will be funny.
Anyway, I don't care about that. I did not have a good relationship with the current King of Lacuna as well. He was too stubborn and a little dumb. I do not know the current Queen of Lacuna much. I have t her a few tis, but that's it. It was just formal etings.
But Querencia will have a good relationship with Lacuna now. After all, everyone knows that Queen Laetitia used to fancy King Detrius. Who knows, perhaps she still likes him just as much as before, if not more?
Well, I am not here to chat about that. It's just I got so free ti and wanted to write to my friend.
I also heard that you were sick; you caught that contagious fever, right? How are you now? My spy reported to that it lasted ten days. Actually, I know that you are well now. That's why I sent you a letter after you got better. After all, how can you read those reports if you are sick?
I am glad that you are okay now, no sarcasm; it is a genuine remark. Again, I do not like you romantically. This is my worry as a friend for a friend. So, make sure King Detrius doesn't misunderstand. I don't want him to be my enemy.
I don't have any romantic interest in a married woman.
Let's talk about the war a bit. This is probably the most fun war I have been to. Wars are of course not fun. They are stressing. I don't like wars at all. I just want to stay at ho and rest; I don't like to work either.
But that is not sothing I follow since I am a King. You feel the sa, right?
You know why I call this war 'fun'? Because the army of Ataraxia is not that good. So of them are skilled as they are supposed to be, but the majority of the knights are too dumb. I guess my knights are just too skilled. Either way, winning is almost confird.
Oh, I completely forgot to ntion the reason I sent you the letters. I think you guessed it already.
Yes, I have sent them because I wanted to show you that I trust you. It is important if we work together, right? I could not miss the opportunity to prove so when I got the chance.
Make sure to tell King Detrius that it is all because I wanted to prove this, nothing more. I am sure he is assuming weird things.
Rather than that, I wish you two a happy life together. So, if you two have a child, introduce as his uncle. I have always wanted to be one.
That will be all for today. Stay safe (This is a normal thing that should be said at the end of a letter. I don't an anything else. Do not let King Detrius assu things).
And by the way, I am waiting for the order to break the war.
Yours, Evan
"This one seems longer than the one before," Perita muttered. "What did he say?"
"Just regular things," I mumbled. "But what does he an by I killed the King of Lacuna? I myself am looking for the real culprit. He is assuming things, or does he want to know what I know about the case?"
Perhaps Evan said this so I would tell him what I knew about the case. But should he not know more about the case? After all, Trouvaille was known for having skilled spies. They were even required to commit suicide in case they got caught. Even, Dem had to admit that they were rather skillful.
Or did he truly think I killed the King of Lacuna?
'I don't care what he thinks. He can assu whatever he wants to. I am not sending a letter to correct him. And why does he know that we are planning to break the war? Did he assu it?'
'More than that, I now know that we have one week in hand. Dem said he can surely bring the agreent paper from Mazazine. Then, all that will be left is Lacuna's agreent. He can do that too, he said. But… I don't want him to et the Queen of Lacuna, at least, not alone."
'What if she still likes him? Well, he likes , so it should be fine. But she is beautiful… and sexy too. I am not the sexy type; I know it very well. What if she uses her charm to get my husband? But other won don't have any effect on him.
To him, I am the only beautiful person. But… he is not blind. And she is more beautiful than . What if by any chance he takes a liking to her? My husband is hot and handso whereas she is beautiful and sexy. They match very well.
Ugh! I cannot let that happen! I don't care even if he doesn't like her. I am not letting him go alone to et that woman!'
"Your Highness, why are you pulling your hair? Do you want to go bald?" Perita asked, taking my hands away from my hair and patting them.
"Perita, tell the truth."
"Yes?"
"Do you think Dem likes ?"
"Well, you can ask anyone that; the answer will always be the sa. His Highness loves Your Highness," she replied.
"Does he like enough to not like any other woman?"
"Not just won, His Highness doesn't like anyone else other than Your Highness. I think people disgust him if it is not Your Highness. But are you worried about this?"
"… He really won't like even if there is a more beautiful person than ?"
"No, His Highness is not that type of person. Besides, I think Your Highness is the most beautiful person from inside and out."
