Throne For Princes In Novels

Ep. 10 Release Party

In this Empire there was a tradition of throwing a party before sending his soldiers to the battlefield. This party is called a release party. A party that seems deliberately held to send someone to the afterlife as the name 'Party of Release'. I think it's a less sane tradition. A party should be held for something happy, not for something like this. The Empire should have released its soldiers to the battlefield by praying together at the temple so that those who went to war could return safely to bring victory. I became curious, actually who is crazy and do not have the morality that triggers the idea of this party? I'm sure he deliberately created this party to drive away and get rid of people he disliked. For example to expel Prince Leonard, or rather to eliminate Leonard forever from the Eliador Empire. And here Queen Media, who deliberately manipulated the Emperor into sending her own son into battle, is having a very festive release party, even more so than my marriage and Leonard's. Of course he assumed and believed that Leonard would die on the battlefield against the Barbarians who were famous for being very strong. It's just that the evil Queen doesn't know that Leonard is so great that he can defeat the most powerful Barbarian King among his tribe.

And the release party for those soldiers is today.

"It's all done, Princess." Said Anne after she finished dressing me up.

"Okay, thanks Anne." I said to Anne and then stood in front of the dresser reflecting my beautiful makeup that was visible from the glass.

When I turned around it turned out to be Leonard there who was standing leaning against the door of the room.

"You're so pretty today Louisse, are you ready?" Ask Leonard while praising me.

"Should I dress like this when my husband is going to war?" I said with a sad face.

Yes, although I know that Leonard will return safely with victory, but still the name of a war must be very happy. There would be no counting how much he would be injured later there. Although Leonard is very strong and good at swordsmanship, do not close ll

he would be injured let alone his famous opponent was extremely strong.

"Why are you so worried like this after yesterday you're sure that I'm going to win this battle?" Ask Leonard who seems curious.

"I never doubted it, but the battlefield was terrible, although I'm sure you'd come home safe you'd be hurt too." I said with sadness.

Seen from the tail of my eyes Leonard smiled softly and he said...

"I'll try not to get hurt." Her speech.

"I can't believe what you said." My heart, but Leonard just laughed at my words.

Then we walked to the party hall with my hands tied to Leonard's arms. All the eyes at the party were on me and Leonard who had just walked into the party room. It's the first time I've entered a party room with such a heavy step, a party where we seem to lead someone to death. This Empire has no morals at all. Yep... How else would you like? I'm just the wife of a prince who has no choice here. From the beginning this was a scenario created by the Queen, but this scenario I will change slowly. So I also have to go to war, the war that is inside this crazy palace.

I thought having the support of the Queen in my hands would make it easier for me to deal with the upper class. But in fact until now the nobles keep looking at me low, even now it looks worse. It was because they thought I would be left behind by Prince Leonard who was not sure to return alive. I knew in the original novel Leonard would return safely, but the storyline here had changed a lot due to my intervention and it scared me a little. I can only pray that Leonard's victory on the battlefield is the same as the story in the original novel.

"What are you thinking?" Leonard asked suddenly as I was thinking about something that was not necessarily happening.

"It's nothing." I answered while smiling at him.

"Disregard the views of the people here and don't think of anything strange." Leonard.

"What am I thinking?" I asked to pretend I didn't understand what Leonard was saying.

"You think I don't know what's in your little brain?" Said Leonar again.

"Are you a fortune teller to know what's in my brain?" I asked while glancing towards him.

"Huh... Did you forget that we've been together for five years?" Leonard's words can be interpreted if during our five years together he always paid attention to all my habits. And because of Leonard's words I can't say anything else.

Leonard was busy meeting the soldiers who would come with him tomorrow. While I was busy serving the noble ladies who spoke with a word that could be interpreted as 'If Prince Leonard is killed on the battlefield then I will be expelled from the palace', roughly like that. As usual, I just smiled in response.

"Huh... I'm tired." I muttered while sitting on one of the chairs here after leaving the scorn of the cynical noble ladies earlier. And I hope that there will be no more noble ladies blabbering like that.

"Are you also going to rest Lady Vianti?"

The woman who suddenly greeted me was Vianty Bell de Zacart, the only daughter of Duke Robert de Zacart. He is the protagonist of the original novel. She was the one who would eventually marry Prince Leonard after Louisse was executed. Vianty would later become Crown Princess after Leonard was crowned Crown Prince. And in my reality here, Lady Vianty was the first person I wanted to avoid. This woman always attacked me with subtle yet piercing words like what is happening right now.

"It turns out that Her Highness the Princess is a very strong woman even though your husband will go to the battlefield tomorrow." His words could be interpreted as 'Poor Lady Princess, who is ready to be removed after the First Prince is absent'. I admit that the high-class noble ladies of the Empire are very good at killing their opponents with words.

"That's because I believe that my husband will win this war and return safely." I answered by keeping a forced smile.

"Bah... I don't know if Your Highness the Princess is such a believer in His Highness the Prince and you're such an ardent person." His words were so elegantly the hallmark of a true noble. And this time she was like saying as if I was a stupid woman with my vain beliefs. Is this the true nature of the female lead character in the novel I read at the time? I thought she was a meek woman but the truth is that she was a woman with a thorny mouth.

"Then I will resign Princess because my cousin is waiting for me, afraid she is confused looking for me." It was as if she was showing off her cousin Damien Back de Zacart, one of the most sought after men by single women in the Empire, not only handsome but also intelligent with perfect posture.

After Vianty went to see her cousin I was able to breathe with relief. He thought that kind-hearted smile was not tired what?

"Ohhhh...."

"Why sigh like that?"

"Leonard!!" I just so surprised her.

"Why was it so surprised?" Asked Leonard who was astonished by my behavior.

"Who told you to surprise me?!" My heart was upset, I could breathe a sigh of relief and suddenly Leonard was in front of me.

"You're the one who doesn't notice me." He said casually.

"Huhhhh! Why are you here? Aren't you busy?" I asked while sipping the wine I just picked up from the table.

"It's not time to drink Louisse, we have to dance." Answer Leonard.

"Don't you say my dance is so bad and you don't want to repeat the same dance with me?"

"That was when we were kids, wouldn't it be stupid to not dance so well." It was his words that made me even more upset.

"You're a bitch! huh!!" I cried very upset.

"alright... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that." Leonard.

"Your Royal Highness Princess Louiswould you be my first dance partner?" Pinta Leonard bowed and extended her hand to me.

"Originally you can hold back from my footwork while dancing." I answered while receiving his hand.

"I've been used to it for a long time." Her mouth while holding her smile.

"Dwuh... When did Leonard grow up so well like this?" My little heart.

Seriate...
