Surviving As The Protagonist

Chapter 31: The Origin of Sheyra (2)

A funeral was held with a mourning atmosphere accompanied by nobles who ate all black clothes. The splashing of rainwater was so swift as if the sky understood that the hearts of the families that had been left behind were currently in mourning.

Lucy was seen crying desperately without trying to hold back her tears that are currently without the company of a father or closest friend.

“I do not deserve to be with anyone, this is a punishment for me who let brother die.” murmured with blank eyes.

The splashing of rain water seemed to be drenching themselves, everyone was currently staring at him with a frightened look. Lucy only smiled wryly at the reaction of those who no one even wanted to protect herself from the water splash.

The father who never returned home was currently just crying over the death of his daughter in the room. Reygan who thinks for himself without wanting to hear his explanation just turned around without looking at him.

Why are you looking at me like a cold-blooded killer? What am I wrong? Do you just want to think about what you want to think?

A clattering of steps was heard trying to approach the cemetery whose atmosphere looked strange. But in the end he stopped his steps from a distance, he was Reygan who was carrying a black umbrella in his hand.

“Crylo, isn't the Crown Princess' position empty?” he said with a sculpting body when watching Lucy from a distance.

In her little heart, she was just in shock. Reygan never thought that the fiancee he hated all this time ended up with a magic like this.

“True Your Majesty.” replied The man accompanied by a sad look on his face.

“Isn't this supposed to be fun news? In the end I handed the position of Crown Princess to him as I had wanted it to be long ago. Even I who used to think of making Lucy as a concubine— I will now have given the best position for her..” he said that looks overwhelmed with his own anger.

“But why the happy news should be shrouded in grief and wounds like this... ” he said accompanied by his regret.

Sir Emillo was seen sighing, more or less he only understood the meaning of the man's words. Do you look happy over this funeral? Do you feel guilty about that feeling? Her Highness....

“I trust Lucy. Lucy seems hurt to see my cold attitude like this.” he said suddenly, his voice now sounded so hoarse filled with regret.

“I think Miss will understand, so it's best that Your Majesty apologizes immediately.” her advice is to try to tell Reygan to apologize to her immediately, The man with Ruby's iris seemed willing to do so without any objection.

Surprisingly his attitude suddenly changes, he also changes his mind to say sorry to Lucy after Reygan meets the mysterious woman, Sheyra.

When all the nobles left Lucy who was crying alone, she was just stunned without trying to leave. Reygan who had just been silent from a distance now turned around trying to leave her, “Are you not worried about Miss Lucy being left alone?” sir Emillo asked with a feeling of worry as he watched Lucy from a distance.

“Let it go, maybe he needs his own time.” Reygan's assumption before he really breezed away leaving him.

Kyaa!

Until the scream of a person who squealed his ears distracted Emillo, the scream came from the woman with the most striking hair color in the kingdom.

That is a beautiful mane with a red color of the rose accompanied by its emerald netra that is difficult to forget, because with just a glance its appearance really looks dazzling. It seems that Reygan accidentally hit him, causing the woman to fall.

She was also seen wearing a black dress that signified her as a guest who had come to attend Miss Lyonora's funeral.

Their hands seemed to be touching, Reygan now looks like he is blazing with her. At that moment Emillo's mind was riled up, on a day like this Your Majesty smiled at another woman? When they heard their conversation, Yang Mula was worried about the woman.

Even though you let Miss cry without a sound alone, even though at this time she also looks shaky cold, it could be Your Majesty even worried about other women when your future fiancee is then left alone.

If you also notice, this red-haired woman is not so familiar, she is like someone who has just appeared to the surface of the earth. So if it is associated with all the incidents that exist, the emergence is exactly 10 days before the tragedy of Lyonora occurred in the palace.

It is true that in fact he had disappeared 5 years and had only returned to the Baron residence 10 days before the incident occurred.

“Pardon my disrespect Lady, let's follow me, later I will give you a cup of warm milk and a thick blanket.” her door with a voice that really sounds soft.

The Crown Prince who could not bear to let his woman cold from the rain took her away from the place.

Right now all that was left was herself with Lucy who was quite a distance away. The permpuan was seen pouring out his tears with sobs that could not be contained. Sir Emillo seemed to want to comfort him but he did not have the courage to go to him, in the end they were just busy with the contents of his own mind.

...***...

Ever since the Crown Prince's first meeting with Miss Sheyra who had just appeared, His Highness had started to behave strangely.

Reygan at that time only impressed plin plan in his eyes, sometimes he looks worried about Lucy but also looks not care about her existence.

Several times Lucy made an appointment with him but he refused the request outright. Unbroken, Lucy always tries to contact herself by sending letters and telegraphs. But disappointingly Reygan never read or reply to his letter.

“Crylo, from now on if there is a letter from him, just keep it under the drawer and do not need to report it to me.” his command like already do not want to know about his own potential fiancee.

Crylo Emillo, who was only a subordinate, could only nod in order to accept the orders of his superiors without refuting.

When Lucy's letter is never returned, the girl attempts several visits to the palace to create a deliberate encounter with her. But his efforts have never paid off for him.

“Sore bright Your Majesty, I was waiting for you to practice the sword—” not only he finished his greeting, without intending to reply Reygan just stepped away leaving him cold.

Surprisingly when Reygan reached his room, he was seen nagging to change clothes immediately. You could say his attitude changed unlike usual acub, “If Lucy sees me like this, it's embarrassing because my body smells in sweat.” he said while wearing a new suit.

If you see Your Majesty being nice like this, you're the good feeling for Miss Lucy still has a lot left in her mind.

It's just that when the man returns to his previous place, Lucy has returned home on her horse-drawn carriage, with Reygan only believing that the girl is visiting without feeling earnest. Lucy has been treated like this for how many times.

“He never came again?” asked Reygan who was holding the hairy pen. Sir Emillo only shook his head in a sign that his speech was correct.

“One's heart is weak, Your Majesty. I think he was tired of trying alone.” he replied that even made the man look at him sharply.

But Reygan's face is currently down, “I don't know, I like to hate him but I don't want to do it.” he said that sounds strange.

Until the war finally emerged in the east, it was a horde of troops coming from the kingdom of Cymbelia who declared war by destroying parts of Duchy which was located near the outbreak.

The war on the border now continues to take a year, Lucy also looks diligent to send a letter to him who is on the battlefield. Miraculously, this time Reygan seemed to want to read the contents of his letter, but he did not intend to reply.

Moreover, every time he read the letter from Miss, His Majesty looks an incredible headache as if a strange contradiction appears to him.

Until the war ended with Sir Emillo who helped Reygan enter the enemy headquarters and beheaded the leader of the army from the kingdom of Cymbelia.

If it is re-examined, the Cymbelia government asks to change the agreement to take away the excess amount of stone in violation of the agreement and the contract of the agreement from the beginning. Since the King of the Garfield kingdom did not give his consent, apparently they tried to carry out the invasion but the action was thwarted by the Crown Prince with his accomplices.

If it had been like this, the cooperation between them would only have left hostility.

I heard, he said, the leader of the new Cymbelia kingdom is an immature man, so it is not strange to see him make a rash decision.

...***...

Until a parade in the title when they returned to the Capital City with victory, the people's welcome seemed so warm and festive.

Lucy who heard this news immediately came to the Capital and noticed their parade through a small alley. That's right, Your Majesty has returned. It's just that he was a little disappointed that the man didn't give him this fun news through a letter.

Though the engagement only got delayed by one year because of this war, but His Majesty still berikp cold like this.

...***...

Greetings for the Crown Prince and the knights will soon be held along with hunting events held every year. After a long time Lucy and Reygan finally reunited in front of the King, they are currently enjoying a dinner together in the palace.

“Nak, when the hunting party will go with my son-in-law.” his request as if ordering Reygan to be Lucy's partner at the hunting event to be held soon.

The man looked at Lucy with a flat look, but he seemed to have no intention of rejecting her request.

“Good, Your Highness.” he said calmly.

“Prospective son-in-law, do you mind?” the question is towards Lucy. The girl simply shook her head while displaying a sweet smile on her lips.

“No Sire, of course with pleasure.” the answer is really graceful. Their position looks awkward at the moment.

When the dinner was over, Lucy was about to return to the Count's residence. But no matter what the intention, Reygan was willing to lead Lucy out with their hands touching each other.

Really, back then His Majesty's face only looked like a dazed person..

Until one day, Reygan seems to tell Sir Emillo that he never hated the touch of Lucy's hand.

“I feel more refreshed, the dizziness that haunted me all this time really disappeared just like that.” his amazement which was also accompanied by a strange feeling.

...***...

How strange it would be when that accidental meeting took place in the palace again. Precisely Reygan now meet again with Sheyra in the palace library accompanied by a pretext accidentally. With a flash of light his mind just changed and asked Miss Sheyra to come as his Partner at the hunting party.

when you get the cancellation letter it gets into your hands. What would Miss think?

Crylo only feels bad when he has to replace Reygan as his partner. Sir Emillo is currently visiting Lucy on Reygan's sudden orders.

After reading the letter, Lucy miraculously just smiled while pulling her warm cup of tea.

He simply said with a soft-sounding tone, “I don't mind, please help Sir.”
