Queen Sword's

Eps 23 Engagement Ring

At first Ferderick was reluctant to say about his mass, but in the end he changed his mind because it was possible with him to tell how he and his sister were confined there and almost sold like animals by someone, he said, that would make it easier for the princess who is a ruler to solve the problem and most importantly because Ferderick wants to once again try to trust someone.

Rubia and Fiona listen to the story carefully, the yellowish-red eyes that usually look tough now look a little quivering when telling the dark times in his life.

Hearing the bitter experience story of someone with his own mouth makes Rubia feel as if she is suffering, it makes her feelings chaotic, it makes her feel, between feelings of sympathy or pity or even a sense of origin because the king's family is not good at protecting its people so that the people who are locked there experience bad things, he said, even from Ferderick's trembling voice Rubia felt a trauma that had been deeply engraved in the depths of her heart and mind.

Ferderick looked at Rubia's silent face for a moment while looking at her intently "Don't look at me like that Your Majesty" said Ferderick who had been uncomfortable by the look of pity aimed at him.

Rubia immediately shifted her gaze "If it is too much for you to interfere in my investigation I will ask His Majesty to investigate the matter formally"

"Will the Emperor investigate if you say?" ask Fiona.

"Okay, but this is quite dangerous, I'm afraid that until this matter is spread the slave trade prison owner will cover up by killing all the slaves, or it could be worse than that, he said, I can't be careless" Rubia said as she thought.

"That is very likely to happen Your Majesty" Fiona replied in agreement.

"I don't mind helping you directly Your Majesty" Ferderick said with a face full of confidence.

"You sure about Fer?"

"Of course, I'm not as weak as you think"

"I don't think you're weak, but let's think about the strategy first so that the perpetrator and the people involved can be caught and can't be evaded"

Tuk tuk tuk.. The sound of footsteps approaching.

"Greetings Your Highness the Princess, there is something I want to talk alone with you" Axel said as soon as Rubia glanced at Ferderick.

"We'll excuse your Majesty" said Fiona, who pulled Ferderick's sleeve and took him away.

"Sit down Sir Harington"

Axel sat in front of Rubia and the lady-in-waiting delivered his tea and snacks on the table.

"Say"

"I came because His Majesty asked me to tell you, This is about the attack incident that day, the investigating knights could find nothing and could only discover that they were a group of mercenaries plotting treason"

"Who's doing the research?" tanyanya while occasionally sipping her tea.

"The investigation was led by His Highness Duke Verano"

"Hmmmmm, just how could he catch himself" Rubia murmured softly as she shook her head, she really felt inexhaustible as to why the Emperor did not suspect the two-faced man at all.

"Did you say something Your Majesty?" axel's eyes were focused by the blue-eyed ring on Rubia's finger.

"No, why can't his investigation be led by someone else?"

"Sorry Your Majesty, it has been a long time since two years ago His Highness the Duke has always handled cases within the empire and that is beyond my authority, is there a matter of Your Majesty?"

"No no, you can go Sir Harington"

"Emmm.sorry, may I ask you something about Your Majesty?" he said doubtfully.

"Say"

"the ring.."

"The ring?? I'm wearing it anyway" Rubia raised her right hand revealing an engagement ring.

"Ahhh yes." he felt awkward to say what he wanted to say.

Rubia looked at him confusedly "is there anything else you want to say?"

Axel braced his courage to ask "That blue-eyed ring why did I see Sir Ferderick wearing the same ring as you?" he clenched his hand to prepare for the answer he had expected.

Rubia raised her left hand to look at the ring, Rubia did not want to answer but seeing Axel's reaction that had gathered courage made her feel bad, however she should not continue to offend her fiance.

"It's the thing that ties the deal, is the answer enough Sir Harington?"

"Ahhh, you make me like a bad person, you can ask anything you want to know because we are engaged"

Axel smiled brightly "Is it really Your Majesty?"

"Yes, but still don't cross the line"

"I understand Your Majesty" he continued to smile, as if his smile yesterday had just become clogged.

"You can go"

"Anu Your Majesty, may I ask you another one?"

"What's that?" Rubia had just regretted what she said just now.

"Since we're engaged, can you call me by a more familiar call?"

"Why?"

"It doesn't matter if you can't" his face returned moody.

"Well, should I call Axel? Ax?"

"I prefer Axel"

"All right, is there more? Ahh. If you want you can call me Rubia"

Axel's face flushed red "I don't dare Your Majesty" in the heart he desperately wanted.

"All right"

"I'll excuse Your Majesty" Rubia nodded.

"Axel Harington today looks like an abiding child***, I didn't expect me to hate him so much these years" Rubia murmured.

.

"When do you want to pull my sleeve?This is far enough" Ferderick muttered to Fiona. They stopped in front of the male knight dormitory.

"Hahh, really, I would like to show you where you live while being the knight of His Majesty's bodyguard.

"You're supposed to tell me not to be such a fool, so where should I go?" he said he was upset because people who passed by them saw with amused eyes.

"Come in and find an empty room, do you understand?"

"All right"

"Dame Fiona, can I ask you a question?"

"Say"

"Chairman, does he really have such a shitty nature?"

"What did you say?"

"Didn't you hear?"

"No, but what part of him makes you think he sucks?"

"He always looked at me cynically"

"Maybe it was because his mood was bad, he was the most perfect man blah blah blah blah blah blah" Fiona keeps mentioning about the advantages and virtues of Axel Harington that he has known all along.

"That's enough, I'm sorry" Ferderick left Fiona who hasn't finished her praise for Axel Harington.

"Basic child is not polite" his grunts while cursing at Ferderick's maki even though the person is no longer visible.

Seriate.
