Queen Sword's

Eps 87 Sacrifice

While everyone ran after the rebels out of the palace, Ferderick approached Rubia to ascertain the exact circumstances, he ran towards her "How are you, Sire?" ferderick said to Rubia who was still half conscious.

"Fer, my bodyguards betrayed me" he said softly.

"It's okay, Sire, such a person doesn't deserve to be by your side"

"Lord Count we should take him to his room first" said Merge who held Rubia's body.Then Ferderick nodded in agreement and he himself carried Rubia and walked quickly to the Emperor's residence.

"I will find a lady to change clothes for Your Majesty" said Merge while in front of the Emperor's door, Ferderick nodded and stepped in and laid Rubia on his bed.

Soon a lady-in-waiting came knocking on the door, and Ferderick opened it and told the lady to quickly take the place of the Emperor's clothes while he waited for her at the door.

After the lady-in-waiting finishes her task, "Master Count, I will take bandages and medicine to treat His Majesty's wounds"

"Well" Ferderick went back in and sat down next to Rubia.

Rubia opened her eyes and found Ferderick holding his hand with an unsettled face, three years Rubia thought she could no longer see the look on Ferderick's face that really worried her.

"Count, what's with your face?"

"You wake up, Sire, how are you doing now? What part is sick"

"Everything hurts, what are you doing here? You're not coming back?"

"How can I come back while you're like this"

"I'm fine, what about Duke Verano and the witch?"

"The witches are chasing them, sorry I came late Sire"

"It's okay, thanks for coming Count"

"What is Mr Axel Harington doing? Why isn't he by your side at a time like this?"

"You heard that his father just died, right?He's still devastated, it's only natural that he's not here right now"

"Remain, he is your fiancee who should always be by your side"

"I can't force someone to be by my side if I don't want to"

When Ferderick fell silent, he felt ashamed of his own words, even though he had left Rubia for three years, even though he had reason to do so.

To be honest for three years he continued to pay attention to Rubia from a distance, not a day he passed without finding out the news Rubia, whether it was from the newspaper or from rumors circulating among the public.

Tok tok, someone knocked on the door and Ferderick opened it, the lady-in-waiting returned with a medicine box.

"Give it to me, I'll treat your Majesty, you must be busy cleaning up the mess outside"

"True sir, then beg for his help"

Ferderick again sat down beside Rubia, he began to treat the wound on his arm and tied the bandage "His wound in His Majesty, do not get exposed to water"

"I see" Rubia looked at Ferderick's focused face wrapped around the bandage slowly, the pain in his arm was nothing to him "your appearance changed a lot but it seems like I can still see a familiar attitude within you"

"I am still the same as my old Majesty, nothing has changed just my appearance has changed a little"

"really?"

"Yes, and I'm sorry for what I said last time three years ago"

"Thank God, it's done" Ferderick took care of the medicine box and put it on the table.

"How are things outside?"

"Don't worry, Sire, everything is being cleaned up, the injured have been getting help, you just need to recover first"

"Well, you can return Count, can't you linger here for long, if rumors arise between you and me your marriage to Miss Katie will be interrupted"

Ferderick paused for a moment "Alright, excuse me Sire" Rubia nodded then turned her gaze towards the window, while Ferderick walked out of the room.

Ferderick runs into Vallan at the door "Well, long time no see, boy who has succeeded in becoming a Count"

"Good night Lord Great Witch, how are you?"

"Well, now that your tone is also very classy yes, you have really found your life apparently, it is only natural that you undo the intention to give your life to His Majesty, but I was a little surprised why you appeared again in His Majesty's life, Your Majesty was great too, my estimation turned out to be wrong, now that Your Majesty has passed twenty safely, you know, but as you can see his condition is now very worrisome, especially he has just experienced a heavy incident and also betrayal from a personal bodyguard who has been by his side for three years"

"What do you really want to say ?"

"Nothing, without realizing I was talking too much to someone I hadn't seen in a long time" he smiled and passed Ferderick, then Vallan went into Rubia's room.

Ferderick was surprised by himself, but for the last three years he deliberately acted as if he was avoiding Rubia on the grounds that Rubia was not too hurt if he sacrificed his life for her later, but now he has completed his task so that he can do the next task comfortably, but once all is done he is even more hesitant and greedy, he did not want to leave Rubia alone in a difficult situation at this time, although he was not really alone, all this time without him he could live quite well, even very well, he said, this is just his own greed that wants to stay beside him, he should not come closer so that his feelings do not falter again.

Ferderick understood why Vallan said such a thing, it was because of his self that looked indecisive for a moment, The old man was able to read one's mind from the look on his face properly apparently, Ferderick again strengthened his resolve, he said, for the good of all who depended on the wise leadership of the Emperor he had to give his life, yet all his efforts were prepared solely for it, he could no longer delay the time that increasingly burdensome Rubia.After a moment of silence Ferderick immediately continued his steps out of the Emperor's palace.

.

"How are you, Sire" said Vallan, who sat beside the Emperor.

"I feel good about Master"

"I'm sorry, Sire, we lost Duke Verano and that witch, that witch is a high-class witch, she is able to hide her tracks perfectly, but we will continue to investigate, sorry for failing Your Majesty"

"Have Master, do not apologize, it is not your fault thank you for arriving on time, if you did not come at that time also maybe my head is not in place now"

"You said a terrible thing, Your Majesty, I met Mr. Count whom I had not seen for a long time, he seems to be living a good life"

"True teacher, she's getting married soon"

"really? Are you sure?"

"Yes, he doesn't avoid not admitting it, but I hope he can live well like everyone else in general, build a happy family"

"Are you sure that's what you want?"

"Ten of course right?"

"Have you really given up your healing from the curse you suffered? You really okay if the child lives happily by ignoring the facts about you for life?"

"Of course Master" for a moment Rubia hesitated, but still she did not expect Ferderick to sacrifice his life for her, but to think that Ferderick would build a happy family with her by ignoring her, it made his chest feel tight.
