Queen Sword's

Eps 83 New era

Three years of Rubia's reign as Emperor, from day to day the Empire was progressing, the trade routes between regions and even between countries went smoothly,the sea lanes are getting safer because a year ago Rubia cleared the pirates who continue to roam making chaos in the waters, then he tightened security that will continue to monitor the ocean borders, he said, people are increasingly invested with low tax costs, food needs are abundant, the balance is clearly felt in this empire, this is a new era that has been awaited.

Although Saintes who presided over the holy temple had passed away shortly after Rubia's visit three years ago, but the plan was successfully carried out without significant obstacles, now the formation of healing priests has been complete, he said,and having been assigned to the inter-regional medicine hall, who would have thought it turned out that among ordinary people many innate talents with holy power were found, that was good news.

As with the sacred temple, the achievement of the magic tower was beyond expectations, despite being filled with obstacles at the beginning due to the lack of innate magic talent born on the people, the magic tower was beyond expectations, but a year ago the people of another country began to arrive after hearing the news of the Grosjean Empire looking for witches and they offered salaries and facilities that were very tempting, the lives of the witches who transmigrated to the empire was really guaranteed, there was no reason for them to leave this place.

Everything feels so smooth and smooth, but Rubia's health condition is getting worse, her body is getting thinner, her face is haggard and dark circles under the eyes are getting clearer, more and more obvious, even everyone could tell just from seeing his face at a glance that he was suffering, despite suffering and pain Rubia now felt no more regret if she had to die right now.

"Uhuukkk" Rubia who had just arrived in front of her room after a long day of work stopped her steps, again she coughed up blood, she received a handkerchief from Dame Tarina and washed the blood from her mouth.

"Are you okay, Sire?"

"Yes, you can rest now"

"Good Sire"

Klekkk, Rubia opened the door to her room and her two ladies followed her, helping her take off her clothes and clean herself in a bathtub with red rose petals floating on the surface of her scent water making her more relaxed, he just fell silent while enjoying the bath treatment from his lady, in his mind was stupefied said the nobles at the imperial routine meeting earlier this afternoon who asked Rubia to hasten her marriage with Axel Harington, who was not involved in the incident,now his age is enough for a marriage, then because everyone realizes his deteriorating health condition he can no longer avoid to continue to postpone the marriage immediately.

Marriage is a thing that has been determined since he was a child, he also agreed to it because marriage is needed by an Emperor who has the blood of the damned, he agreed, why in his heart is still doubtful even though he has determined not to have a child after marriage so that his son does not feel the pain he feels, he said, by marrying Axel when his condition began to collapse he intended to give the throne to him, even now he has quietly written a will about the surrender of the throne if he suddenly died, even now he has been silent about the will, what a well-ordered life.Life to die.

Rubia has sent Lydia to retire early to live life in her old age comfortably five months ago, while Ferderick, he was seen several times at official events in the court and residence of the upper class nobles, his appearance increasingly attracted attention, ranging from the body shape that changed into more mature and classy clothing style, and his appearance was more attractive, even all his efforts went smoothly by following in the footsteps of his late parents, then reportedly he will soon marry a Lady who is quite famous in the upper class, and then he will soon be married, because no matter where the event she went to the woman always stuck beside Ferderick, Rubia did not need to worry about him like that, because after that day they both acted like strangers.

While Duke Verano had all this time seemed silent in his residence, he was completely helpless, only the news was heard that his Son had set out to study outside the Empire, Rubia thought that now the Duke could no longer dwell on her because no one else wanted to be her follower, he only asked the Guild for information to keep an eye on her movements, she said, then the Dark Witch who had been looking for had been caught a year ago and was now being locked in a prison in the magic tower region, strangely the Witch gave herself up, his condition at that time was very concerning because he had lost the ability to speak and his body was left behind by the former torture someone, something strange but could not be investigated further because of insufficient evidence.

Rubia sat in a chair on the balcony of her room while looking up at the crying sky, so she spent her nights having trouble sleeping, now he is more comfortable spending his free time with calm while enjoying the wine that warms his body and helps him sleep peacefully.

This is his comfort, his favorite place that holds a memory in the corner of his deepest heart that he keeps trying to bury.

"I have to decide on my wedding day after my twenty-first birthday, which is a hassle" he murmured as he poured a bottle of wine into his glass. over the past year he has pretty often avoided the things that led to his marriage, even until Axel acted as if he no longer expected his marriage to happen, Rubia also realized just from looking at his expression when someone discussed about the marriage in front of him, she felt she had to take responsibility for Axel's life because it had hung up their relationship for too long, although Axel is still the same as Axel who used to face Rubia, but it all looks fake, now the contents of his heart are increasingly unpredictable.

The atmosphere of the palace is currently crowded because tomorrow night will be held a large dance party in the main hall of the palace to commemorate Rubia's birthday, because for the last three years he never celebrated his birthday, even he forgot about it and did not consider the importance of his birthday even though everyone sent a letter as a greeting,when his subordinates proposed the party he just kept on quibbling to save the palace's budget expenditures for more pressing interests, now the workers look very enthusiastic because they have not been busy with things like a big party for a long time. This time he wants to celebrate for the last time, because he believes next year he will no longer be able to stand with his feet firmly because of the condition of his body that is getting weaker by the day.
