Daytime throne room.
"Dad, there's something I want to talk to you about." Right now I am in discussions with the other prime ministers. I don't know what they're discussing, but right now I don't want to know because I want to solve this problem right away.
"Sir princess Iona, but now we're.." (prime minister).
"You can go now."
"But your highness..."
"We can continue this later, now I have to talk to my daughter."
"All right, your majesty." They left this place, and it was just me and Dad here.
"Iona, what's wrong?"
"I want to reject the marriage offer from the Ruens kingdom, because if I accept it something bad will happen not only to this kingdom but to this world as well."
"Iona, what are you saying."
Their real goal was me, they wanted to use me as a tool to create a powerful strategy to deal with the enemy forces. With the combat power of the Ruens kingdom as well as the strategy from me, mastering the world is not impossible.
I don't know where they got this about me, but at least it shouldn't happen. "Iona, on what basis do you reject this marriage?"
I answered him with great certainty. "Because this won't benefit us at all."
"What do you mean?"
"If this kingdom and also the kingdom of Ruens to join the way of marriage. One day this kingdom will surely fall to the prince of the kingdom of Ruens." I say so because Iona is the only child of them, and if I get married then the whole kingdom will change hands to the husband and that means the prince of the kingdom of Ruens. If that happens, there is no doubt about it. A big mess is about to happen right after.
"That's true, but what's the problem."
"That's the problem... If this had happened, would you know what would happen after a dozen years?" I said that because at that time the position of the king may have been replaced with a new king.
"....." Dad didn't answer, it meant he didn't know.
"A very big war is going to happen, bloodshed is going to happen all over the world. That's all that's gonna happen if this wedding is done."
"Iona, how could that be possible?"
"That's possible, even though I can't see the future but..." The world is too easy. "I can easily predict it." The world is so predictable, even though I was struggling at first. But this can be easily overcome.
"Your name..."
"That's all I want to talk about. I hope you remember well what I just said. Oh yeah, if this marriage happens it's possible that your daughter's nature will change." I slowly walked out of this room.

"Agggghhhkkkx... I-Iona, I-I'm sorry, I won't do that again.. I-I promise!!" The pain disappeared. "Ha, ha, ha... But, I think it's gonna work." Iona hurt me because I've been disrespectful to her father, maybe like that.
I then lay down. "Ha... Iona, can replace me for a second. I want a break." The matter this time was quite draining of my entire emotions, and therefore I was currently exhausted.
"Ah... This mattress is very soft, very comfortable." This comfort made me calm down, and slowly my consciousness began to disappear. "Iona, good night."

At night, meeting in a secret place
"King Alferd, how have you made up your mind?" (??)
"Before, I apologize Grade king."
"What's wrong?"
"I can't accept your offer."
"W-Why? It's not that the offer will be very profitable for your kingdom."
"That's very profitable, but unfortunately I can't spoil my daughter's happiness just for my ambition."
"You are too weak for king Alferd, this is all for your kingdom and your people."
"King Grade, before I leave this place. I want to ask you something."
"What's that?"
"Have you ever thought about what's going to happen in the future?"
"Oh, yeah. Sorry Grade king, I have to refuse it. It looks like a hoax, but someone told me that if this alliance were to happen, wars would be fought all over the world. I, who had never thought like that at all, made me very confused. But, after hearing what you said just now I became very confident in my decision." King Alferd left that place.
"Damn it!! How does he know that... No one should know about the future change plans I've made. But how could he know. This plan is just me knowing. Who knows the foolish king, I will not forgive."
-----------------
Morning, room.
"Hoaammmmhaha... It's morning, yes" I slept for a long time, maybe I'm tired from working too hard.
Shower and get ready. Today I want to take my mind off all the worries I have. "War strategy, training, princess. Bodo very, for 1 day I want to enjoy my life fun. Doing what I like, not what I am ambitious about. I want to let go of the burden that's on me for a minute to have fun."
The royal school is still closed because of the attack at that time. And therefore, I want to have fun for 1 full day before the royal school reopens, and everything that could ruin my day will not be forgiven.
"Mr princess, time for breakfast."
"Yes, I'll be there soon."
--------------
"Iona, today you look happy. What the hell happened to you?" (Mother)
"Hm... Really true?"
"If you smile like that, whoever sees you will ask what your mother said just now."
"I see, so get caught, yeah."
"Huh..."
"Then Iona, what's wrong? Can you tell?"
"Today I want to have fun, walk around the city, go where I've never been, and also do things I've never done. Like fishing, playing with animals and there's a lot more I want to do."
"Well, that seems like a lot of fun. Can you come with me?"
"No, it's a special day for me. I want to have fun myself."
"Ah... Mum's sad."
I know that mom's sadness is just pretending. "Then, I'll prepare a soldier for-..."
"Don't, I don't want to be bothered by anyone. I want to enjoy this day."
"Then I can come along.." (??)
"A voice is heard from behind me."
"A, Shiryu. You're done."
"Shiryu's? Who's she?" I just saw her for the first time, and Iona remembered I didn't see her either.
"Can I go along with your plan." Suddenly he grabbed me by the shoulder and continued by bringing his face to my ear. "I also want to have fun with you."
It makes me very upset, very upset. "GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME!!" I immediately brushed both of his hands off my shoulders. "Who dare you do something like this to me?!"
"Iona, you don't talk like that. He's your future husband."
"C-Prospective husband.... N-No way." 1 thing that allows something like this to happen. Father had already received the alliance request from the Ruens kingdom, and this person was the prince of the Ruens kingdom. "I-This is impossible!!!"
"Iona, what happened to you."
"DON'T COME ANY CLOSER!!" They're trying to get close to me. "It's just a dream, I just need to wake up, I just need to wake up. It must be just a dream."
Duaarrrr
There was an explosion from outside. "What's that sound?"
"It seems to have started." (Shiryu)
"W-What are you saying?"
"Look at yourself."
Out of curiosity, I also looked outwards from this kingdom. "What the fuck!!" A great mess occurred outside this palace. "Oy oy if this isn't a dream, what's really going on while I'm asleep."
See you on the next chapter....
