How to Become a Person in a Novel World

Chapter 016: You Don't Need to Think About It, Honey (Diamond)

“So, my daughter,” call Queen Clara after the lady's boat sails ahead of them, “What do you want to tell mom?”

“This relates to Brother Alex, Mother,” replied Selena slowly. He felt a slight shock as the boat began to move. The pair of mother and son started sailing now.

“Alex?” Queen Clara frowned.

“Kakak came to my palace last night,” Selena also told the arrival of Alexander to the queen. He also spoke with the crown prince. The queen who paddled her own boat listened well.

“I see,” Queen Clara is looking at her daughter who looks worried now, “Your sister is still weak now. Although talented, he needs a strong supporter by his side.”

Queen Clara stared at the two boats that sailed in front of her. One boat was boarded by Amelia and her friends, while the other boat was boarded by Hanna, Evanna, and Sari.

“Doing political matchmaking is indeed the fastest way to gather strength,” said Queen Clara later, “It would be good if she could match one of them.”

Selena fingered the edge of the boat. His hand was lowered slowly until it touched the cold lake water. His smile grew thin just by feeling that simple sensation. In his heart, he was grateful that he was still awarded many favors even though his vision had been revoked.

“Be careful, Selena,” Queen Clara is quite anxious to see her daughter's behavior. He would be very confused if Selena fell into the water. Even though there were bodyguards guarding around the lips of the lake, it was still dangerous.

“Sure, Mother,” Selena also retracted her hand. There was a sprig of white water flowers between his fingers. The flower is similar to a soft, moist white lotus when held. Calmly, Selena said, “I will not fall from the boat.”

Selena brought the water flowers in after making sure they had stopped. He also held it with both hands. Despite not being able to see its beauty, he could still feel its gentleness.

“There is one more girl that I recommend to Brother Alex actually,” Selena said after the atmosphere was silent for a while, “I've seen her as a child before. She's an energetic and tomboyish girl. I can't forget how noisy he was when visiting here first.”

“You mean Rubia vi Emerald?” Queen Clara remembers the only little girl who is remembered in her memory. He remembered the girl had once made trouble in his palace.

“True, the cute girl must have been as big as Hanna now,” Selena nodded, “Kukira she will attend school at Gem Academy this year, apparently not. He had not been seen in his kingdom for a long time. I became suspicious of a girl who debuted shortly after the disappearance of Princess Emerald. She's a noble girl from the north, Rosica Hilton. Their accents and sounds are very similar. Well, but I still doubt it anyway.”

“Hilton?” Queen Clara frowned, “I've never heard that surname.”

“So, huh? Apparently I was too busy with work to the point of not not not noticing any new nobles in this kingdom,” Queen Clara stared at the water flowers her daughter picked. There was a sad look implied there.

“They are too suspicious, Mother,” suddenly Selena said seriously, “The wealth of Baron Hilton is estimated to equal the wealth of the noble class count. It might be natural because they are traders. The problem is, their trade permit document was only published in last semester.”

“Do you think the baron family made unknown illegal transactions to enrich him?” queen Clara was interested. He believed that his daughter was very intelligent. He also knew that Selena had established an intelligence agency with the help of Madam Margaretha.

“Not,” Selena shook her head, “In my opinion, they have a strong support party behind her. Those supporters were unlikely from the nobles in the north. Marquez Lavrov will not be able to provide such support to them.”

“Spionage from outside?” guess Queen Clara.

“I'm still not sure,” Selena has a doubtful face, “They are very careful people establish transactions. It is not easy to get information from them. People I asked to find information about Princess Emerald was almost caught by their authorities. If they really do espionage, it means we have to prepare for the worst possibility.”

“Hais .. you shouldn't have to think about that, Honey,” Queen Clara sighed softly. He was concerned to see his blind daughter continue to think about the fate of the kingdom. “It was a burden that your brother should have overcome. I'm worried that your health will be compromised if you push yourself too much.”

“I can't be quiet,” Selena shook her head. He knew that his kingdom would be destroyed in brackets very soon, but he could not tell it to anyone else. Even so, he should keep trying as best he can. “As long as I have the ability, as long as I have to fight. Diamond Work is the outermost fortress that borders the Continental Western with the Great Land. Although we are in a period of considerable truce with the Marjan Kingdom side, we must remain cautious.”

“But still,” Queen Clara looked at Selena fatigued, “Your responsibility for the kingdom is not that big, my daughter. Let Alex think things through.”

“Yes, therefore, Brother Alex must immediately strengthen his position. He needs a considerable amount of power to do it,” Selena said slowly. If the crown prince had great power, even the other princes would not be able to recklessly impeach him. Rebellion will also be easier to overcome.

“I understand,” Queen Clara grabbed her daughter's hand, “Your father will take care of all that. He promised me to pass the throne on to your brother. You will be safe forever.”

Selena was silent. He hoped the speech was true and a solid bad ending was avoided. After living together for a dozen years, he did not want to lose his father and mother, as well as his brother.

Currently, Selena is seventeen years old. That means, his remaining peaceful time is only three years away. If he is unable to change the plot, he will experience the events as written in the original work.
