I Reincarnated as a Bad Girl

Chapter 7 I'm Sorry...

Previous story:

They're back at camp. Then Prince Erick tells Emerta that King Albion wants to see him. Emerta initially refused. But he finally agreed. And the two men finally came to terms with each other and met again.

***

King Albion's eyes glazed over. Then the man started crying in silence.

"I'm sorry..."

Emerta threw away his face. He doesn't know what he's feeling right now. He felt disgusted and hated by this old man. But the memories of the past suddenly invaded his mind and made him uncomfortable. It was a wonderful memory they had shared.

Seeing Emerta not responding. King Albion suddenly knelt down and began to apologize time and time again. Until Emerta finally spoke. "Stop"

"Do you forgive me?"

"No" Emerta replied quickly. "I never thought I'd see you again. What do you want?" tanyanya direct. His face was completely flat, expressionless.

"You know. Events in the past are a misunderstanding..."

"If you want to talk about the past, I'm not interested" Emerta cut him off quickly.

"But it's a very important thing" King Albion said seriously. "Even if you don't want to listen, you should know. The misunderstanding may be resolved. Even though time cannot return. And I don't want to die carrying guilt. I beg..."

Emerta thought hard and finally nodded. "Tell me quickly"

King Albion told about the gravity of the political situation in his kingdom when he returned. And he needed the help of the other party to overcome that. And it was a marriage with one of the nobles. But it was a pretend marriage. They both do not love each other. They will get divorced after the cooperation agreement is completed. Then he will marry Emerta and live happily together.

But destiny says something else. Emerta fled so all her plans were ruined. He felt depressed but he had to take responsibility because he had already taken the position of king. Her marriage to the woman continued but they still did not love each other. The queen did her job very well.

Then the nobles and rakat began to demand them to get offspring. They have never been in physical contact. And they have to do it for the sake of the demands. The Queen became pregnant and gave birth to a baby boy. But due to her weak physique, the queen died.

"I keep looking for you. I'm worried about your situation. But I couldn't find you all these years. And all my thoughts were filled with distortions. I really did something evil to you and the queen..." King Albion lamented his grief. "I'm sorry. It's myfault. If only from the beginning I was honest with everything."

Emerta did not respond. But he felt something strange in his heart. His heart throbbed and he felt pain. But he suppressed that feeling so that his expression was completely flat. It was as if the story meant nothing to him.

Seeing Emerta's indifferent expression, he grew even sadder. But he doesn't regret it. The burden in his heart lifted as he told her everything. He felt a little relieved.

"Then I heard you had a child. That boy is the source of this mess. He also married Duke. Then the couple had a cute son and daughter. Is Diana my daughter?" he immediately asked the point.

He wanted to leave but King Albion stopped him again. "You misunderstood. I just wanted to help. You know the situation is tough, right? I can help you guys. And also, if Diana is really my daughter. With his identity, I can protect him. So he doesn't need to be hunted by everyone and be in danger"

Emerta stop. Then the two men stared intensely.

"I'm serious" King Albion added. "This war situation is very bad for the Duke. They all have no place to live. And no kingdom will accept their existence. Seeing their identity as dark witches. They will be hunted because their identity is already open all over the world now"

Emerta's distraught. What he said was true. They will live in distress now because no kingdom will accept them.

"How do you think you can help? Aren't you also a cowardly dog at your place?" emerta said sharply.

King Albion smiled painfully. But then his expression became even more resolute. "I'm a King. No noble would dare to fight me now. I control all the kingdoms like I told you. I kept my promise to you" he smiled sincerely. "The inhabitants here are also very different from the residents in other kingdoms. They are open-minded about dark and light magic. More precisely they do not tolerate evil views about dark witches as long as they do not commit any crimes"

"So what do you want?"

"Bring Diana and everyone here. I will introduce her as my daughter to everyone. I can protect her and make her live comfortably in this kingdom. I also want to meet my daughter as well as my little grandchildren" she said with a longing gaze. He wouldn't even have expected to have grandchildren this soon. Because he doesn't have any expectations for Erick.

Emerta is still in doubt. "How do you think you can protect her? Aren't you afraid all the kingdoms will antagonize your kingdom for doing something like this?"

"Don't underestimate my kingdom. They may sound unfamiliar. But that does not mean we are weak and cannot protect our own homeland from invading other kingdoms" replied King Albion seriously. "we also have some strong people in this kingdom. And we're best friends with the dragon"

"Dragon?"

"Yes. But it's an old story. Even so the dragon will help us when this kingdom is in danger"

Emerta thinks. Everything King Albion said was a good opportunity for him and everyone. What's more, they have a lot of people so they need a bigger place.

"alright. But I'm still not sure. Give me one dangerous thing in that place" he said later.

"Dangerous?"

"Yes. Isn't her status as a princess having her own peril among those nobles?"

King Albion thought. "Nothing is dangerous" he said later. "The nobles will approve all my decisions. But one thing is certain. Diana could not ascend to the throne. This throne will still belong to my son. I promised that woman. But just calm down. Erick's not a bad boy. He did not even have envy towards anyone. He's just naughty, stupid and hard to manage. But he would never do anything evil to his own brother" explained the King later.

Prince Erick heard it and his face immediately twitched.
