Queen Sword's

Eps 66 Exposed to Black Magic

Ferderick returns to Rubia and begins to report the situation. "Stop the investigation! Tell God Joseph to go back and avoid, this is related to black magic, they are very dangerous, say this is a command" Rubia said as she got up from her office.

"Okay, Sire, I'll send you a message hawk soon"

"Yes!" Ferderick immediately wrote and sent a letter at that time in front of Rubia. He flew an eagle from Rubia's window.

Rubia picked up some files on her desk and walked back to Ferderick, who was still beside the open window, staring at the departure of the bird that had flown away.

Rubia held out the object in her hand "Take Fer"

Ferderick hesitated, but he immediately accepted "What is this Your Majesty?" He turned the black map in his hand.

"My promise, our deal" Rubia removed the blue-eyed ring from her finger.

"What do you mean, Sire?" he hesitates and feels confused, he understands but wants to try to buy as much time as possible.

"I lied when I said that the ring in your finger was unbreakable, now you can let go, and start living your life with your true identity" Rubia walked away and sat back on the chair with a stack of documents on the table.

"Why did it arrive?"

"It's not coming, I've been preparing it since I took the throne, I know how much that name means to you, you don't have to worry or be burdened because I've had a meeting on restoring Count Stewart's rights and estates to his successors"

Even though his greatest desire during his growing age was already within his grasp, he had a tough and difficult day just for the sake of that goal, but why was his feeling unhappy or feeling a little satisfied? He even felt heavy leaving Rubia in this situation, Rubia's health condition that slowly deteriorated was one of the causes, but the main cause was his own feelings that could not stay away from him.

Rubia looked at the silent Ferderick with a sour face "What are you thinking? Are you not satisfied with our deal? You've helped me a lot all this time, just tell me what you want" he said, playing a pen on his finger.

"True, I still feel dissatisfied" he replied softly but Rubia could hear it clearly.

"Do you want to say it? I'll grant you if you ask for more reward" he began to focus on reading the report file in front of him.

"really?"

"Sure, how much do you want?"

"You!" rubia closed the file and turned back to Ferderick "Please let me stay by your side"

"What the hell are you thinking? Of course you should continue to be by my side even though you can no longer be my personal bodyguard, you should come when I call you, not as a bodyguard but as Count Stewart"

"Are you going to call me to the enemy?"

"I'll call you when I need your help as long as you meet one condition"

"What are the terms, Sire?"

"Never care what you hear or see when it comes to the curse within me"

"What's?How could I possibly do that, Sire?" he chuckled and objected.

"If I can't I won't call you"

"But Sire-" he said stopped.

Tok tok tok," My lord Axel Harington wants to face you"

Rubia walked towards the door "Come in" he said, then sat down on the guest sofa.

"Greetings Sire"

"Yes, sit down what brings you here?"

"I came to recommend someone suitable as your personal bodyguard Your Majesty, this is already my duty" Deg, as Ferderick's face frowned.

"Dame Tarina Wilis, what do you think of her ability?"

"I think he's quite competent, doesn't he look like Dame Fiona?"

"Ahh, it turns out that you are quite observant in assessing the knights, whereas at the end of this you rarely appear in the training ground of knights" occasionally he glanced and noticed Ferderick's reaction standing right behind Rubia.

"Yes, it's because I'm busy, in the future I will be practicing a lot, Dame Tarina has quite the ability to stand out from among the female knights in the palace"

"Yes, you're right, he's the right guy"

"Alright, just do it like that"

"When can Dame Tarina start working next to you?"

"Tomorrow, today is Ferderick's last day working as a bodyguard"

Axel smiled thinly "Ahh, so so.. You can finally get back to your real identity Count Stewart, you must be happy right?" he said while looking at her.

"Yes, of course" Ferderick replied briefly as well as flashed a cold gaze.

"True, you should go home early today Fer, because tomorrow your status will be passed as Count, you will be busy greeting the nobles who will be present in the palace hall"

"Good"

"Baginda, wouldn't you rather call him Count from now on and not his everyday nickname as your bodyguard?" axel smiled, Ferderick was getting annoyed.

"Baginda, then I will go home now, surely there is a lot to be done considering our castle has long been uninhabited"

"Yes, you have to do that"

"All right" Ferderik knelt down and bowed his head before Rubia. "Thank you for all the time you spend with me, I am always waiting for your call, Your Majesty, I will always be faithful behind you"

"Yes, I'm also grateful, you have to succeed in continuing what your late parents started" Ferderick nodded, he got up and walked out of the room.

Suddenly the atmosphere became quiet when in the room there were only two people left, Axel who still felt awkward because this was the first time he was that close again to Rubia after he made a ruckus by suddenly discussing marriage. Rubia who has a sharp sensitivity was aware of the change in atmosphere when there was Ferderick and now.

"Ehemmm" Axel cleared his throat awkwardly. "Then-" he said stopped when he wanted to leave.

"You look good, have you calmed down enough as long as we don't meet?" asked Rubia brightly.

"Haha, I don't understand what you mean" he laughed blandly, honestly, he still did not know what attitude he should show now in front of Rubia after that time he had time to remove his mask.

"Do you want to get married soon?"

Axel's face immediately reddened, he really felt embarrassed and bad for having done something embarrassing just because it burned jealousy and felt unfairly treated. Axel lowered his face "I'm sorry Your Majesty for showing such an embarrassing side of myself"

"Why are you sorry? I'm not saying that to get an apology"

Axel glanced at Rubia's face with a hearty "Do you now consider me unworthy to be your partner?"

"Not that, I mean I just feel more comfortable if you're being more honest with yourself, get angry if you're upset, smile if you're happy, well that's kind of the way it is, the point is that there is no rang that forces you to do things that you do not want just because you are the future Emperor's companion" Rubia occasionally sipped her tea casually.

Axel was silent for a moment thinking, he asked himself why he always held back? Was it because he was worried about reputation or did he basically have such a nature? It turns out that he just realized that he did not know himself.
