[Actually, the figure who tried to kill me and my sister, Tera, was our own mother, Queen Amana. Back then, we were in the Bana'an Kingdom to escape the threat of motherhood. However, without our expectation, it turns out that the news of our death was actually used by Queen Amana to declare war on Bana'an.]
Damnit damnit! Damnit damnit! Damnit damnit!
I kept swearing while watching the television projection from the study, which used to belong to Fahren. On the projection, Lugalgin was seen sitting with two other people. Sitting to the right of Lugalgin was the white-haired woman, Princess Rina. And, next to the white-haired female, sat an old man dressed in green military attire, Colonel General Saban.
[Then, why did you decide to come to the surface now, Princess Rina? Though, you should be safe since the Nina Kingdom thought you were dead.]
[First reason, I feel guilty. Because of our family problems, now, the Bana'an Kingdom and the Nina Kingdom are at war. If only we had not fled to the Bana'an Kingdom, perhaps this war could have been avoided. Then ... ]
Rina was silent for a moment and turned her head to the left, looking at Lugalgin. Upon seeing Lugalgin nod, Lina spoke back.
[Unfortunately no. To this day, we are still being pursued. And, about a week and a half ago, my sister, Tera, was killed. He was killed by one of the men who was chasing us.]
The sound of the room on the television projection became boisterous. It seemed, everyone was shocked at what Rina said.
I looked carefully at the look on Rina's face. His eyes were straight, there was no lie. However, for some reason, I felt that there was something she was hiding. As someone who had been theatrical for many years, my instincts revolted.
[After Tera died, I tried to escape while carrying her body. When they almost killed me too, incidentally, Lugalgin was in the region.]
[Does this mean you met Mr. Lugalgin in the city of Merkaz?]
[Yes, right. Because Merkaz City was the front line of the war. As the front line of the war, the military guard in the city must have been tight. So, we think the city is safe from Nina's pursuers and spies. But .. we were wrong.]
This woman is an expert. He paused for a moment and continued in a sobbing voice, giving the impression that he was sorry. Damnit damnit!
[Mr Lugalgin, what is your purpose in saving Princess Rina? Apa–]
[Right then,] Lugalgin cut off the reporter. [I saw a woman running while holding someone. Not long after, I found some people chasing after him. I think it would be normal for anyone to move and lend a helping hand. In fact, at that time, I did not know that he was Princess Rina.]
[Are you stating that you don't see Princess Rina as an important figure?]
[He is an important figure. However, we need to remember that he is not only an important figure. He is also an ordinary man. As human beings, we need to help each other.]
Huh huh? Should we help each other? It's bullshit! It was the most hypocritical remark I had ever heard from Lugalgin.
[Sorry, I also want to say something.] Lina took a breath. [The nobles and leaders of the Feudal Lord region in Nina Kingdom, I don't know the reason you guys are supporting the war between Nina Kingdom and Bana'an Kingdom. However, if you fight for revenge for my death and Tera's, you know, the mastermind is Queen Amana. So, if it is true that your reason is to seek revenge, I ask that you stop this war. War will only bring destruction and misery.]
Lina lowered her head. With a whimpering voice, Rina managed to give the impression that she really did not want war. Following Rina's speech, the television projection let out a clapping sound, bustling. Apparently, they all managed to be deceived by this woman. In fact, the woman raised her head with her mouth slightly open, giving the impression of surprise. This show is really good. I have to admit that.
[We hope,] Saban comes in. [The Nina Kingdom saw this broadcast and stopped the attack. We will also do the same, stop the attack. We really hope we can stop this war and achieve peace.]
Saban continued, [However, we realize this is not easy. We realize that there must be a lot of bad people who do not like this. Therefore, with this press conference, we from the Bana'an Military side, declare that we will give protection to Princess Rina.]
The sound of applause stopped. This time, the reporters were talking to each other. Some journalists raised their hands.
Saban gave an addition, ignoring the reporters who raised their hands. [Of course the Bana'an Military is not alone in this. Royal Intelligence, led by Lugalgin, will also participate in the protection of Princess Rina. And, of course, this step has been approved directly by Empress Rahayu. The handout given to the reporters is a copy of our decision which has been stamped and signed by Empress Rahayu.]
I never signed it! Bullshits! This is a criminal act! In fact, this is a national class crime. I am the head of this kingdom. How dare you fake my autograph!
However, even though they were doing forgery of the signature, I could not blatantly protest. If I protest blatantly, there are two possibilities. In the first instance, Lugalgin and the Military said they had given me the documents. They will argue maybe I am not careful. If this happens, the trust of the people will decrease dramatically.
The second possibility is that the people are aware that there are internal problems between me and the military and intelligence. In fact, it is not impossible for new rumors to spread, stating the military and intelligence revolted.
