I Married a Terminally Ill Emperor
Chapter 84
How dare she target the Princess and die. Her family was also unforgivable.
Especially the Yofron Family had been acting like a prospective Empress family among the nobles.
He had left them alone because he didn’t want to waste time on useless things, but now it was time for them to pay dearly for their sins.
“And from now on, investigate in detail even every tea leaf brought into Crystal Palace.”
“Yes. I understand.”
Even if it meant owing a debt to the Krzea Empire, he had requested magic items that could filter out dangerous objects.
“The reward to be given to Princess Tiara?”
“That’s… I don’t know the reason, but she’s asking for Hart.”
Oreon answered with a troubled expression.
“Impossible. Tell her to ask for something else.”
“Yes.”

“No! Where are you trying to sell Cole off to!”
A boy with rebellious eyes glared at the noble lady with a beautiful face.
It was the same noble lady who had extended her hand to him when he had fallen on the street before.
After taking him home, the noble lady had continued her volunteer work at the orphanage.
Cole was particularly fond of the noble lady.
The noble lady also seemed to like Cole, as she had been insisting on taking the child as a servant today.
The noble lady opened her eyes wide and asked.
“Why do you think that?”
“I know everything! I know that nobles take orphans and sell them off or make them do bad things!”
“Big Brother, don’t do that. I said I would go.”
Cole tearfully tried to stop him.
“So why are you going as a servant? You’re kind, so if you stay here, you can get adopted!”
Cole slowly shook his head.
“I already have a mom. I don’t want to call someone else mom.”
At those words, the boy bit his lips.
Unlike himself, Cole had a mother.
She had said her mom was sick and she was only staying at the orphanage temporarily, but the illness worsened and she passed away a few days ago. That’s how Cole became an orphan.
“And they said I can earn a lot of money if I become a servant!”
Cole smiled brightly with sparkling eyes.
“You said you wanted to become a knight. So why do you need money?”
“I thought about it, and I think it would be better for Big Brother to become a knight first instead of me. I’ll earn a lot of money and make Big Brother a knight. So, I’m going to follow her. Big Brother. I’ll earn a lot of money and come back, so please wait just a little. Okay?”
Cole clung to him, shaking his sleeve.
The boy frowned deeply while looking at Cole.
Earning money to make me a knight. So kind-hearted. That’s why he falls for such sweet words from nobles.
“No. I absolutely won’t let you go.”
“Big Brother…”
The noble lady, who had been quietly listening to their conversation, spoke up.
“Then you can monitor where I take Cole.”
“Monitor?”
“Yes. You can see if Cole really goes to work as a servant, can’t you?”
The noble lady smiled gently.
The rebellious boy clenched both fists and looked up at the noble lady.
“I’ll do it, monitor!”
“Then you should come along today too.”
He could feel the knight escorting the noble lady glaring at him with dissatisfied eyes, but the boy endured it firmly.
Cole was the only child he cherished like a real younger brother at the orphanage. If they took him somewhere strange, he would immediately run away.
The boy made a firm resolution and got into the carriage with Cole.
The carriage had a wonderful fragrance he had never smelled before.
Cole kept sniffing because he liked the scent.
“Stop it.”
“The fragrance is so nice, hehe.”
The boy curled up because he felt even more shabby being surrounded by such a nice fragrance.
“What’s your name?”
“Big Brother doesn’t have a name. He’s just Big Brother.”
Cole innocently answered for him.
The noble lady looked at the boy with an awkward smile.
The boy casually ignored the noble lady’s gaze.
Names weren’t important. His head was busy just thinking about where they were going and whether he could fight off all these adults if it was a dangerous place.
But the rebellious boy had no choice but to gape when he saw where the carriage stopped.
Th, this is the Royal Castle? Why did we come here?
The noble lady took the knight’s hand and got out of the carriage.
Maids and servants in clean clothes lined up in front of the carriage and greeted her.
“Have you returned, Your Majesty the Queen?”
The noble lady- no, the Queen smiled kindly at him.
“Can you trust me a little now?”
The boy was granted permission to enter the Royal Castle anytime under the pretext of monitoring Cole and himself.
After visiting the Royal Castle two more times like that, the boy looked down while watching Cole approach, waving his hand happily.
Cole had become a servant of the Royal Castle. It was an impossible privilege for orphans like them.
He was envious and jealous of Cole, so he couldn’t look at the child properly.
“Big Brother, I ate something delicious here. This! I only ate half thinking of Big Brother.”
Cole held out a candy broken in half and smiled innocently.
“You eat it.”
Cole laughed and forcefully shoved the candy into the boy’s mouth.
A sweetness he had never tasted before spread in the boy’s mouth.
“I really like it when Big Brother comes to see me. There’s no one I know here except the Queen, and the Queen is busy so I can’t meet her often. Actually, when I first came here, I was so happy that Big Brother came with me. Big Brother is really a good big brother. I’ll earn a lot of money and give it all to Big Brother. Hehe.”
Not knowing how much resentment he had felt toward him, Cole smiled gently again.
“You fool! Not just anyone can work here. So greet people well, work well, and get along like that. Got it?”
“Yes! I will!”
“I won’t come anymore. So take care of yourself.”
“What? Why? The Queen said Big Brother could come anytime.”
“Still, I won’t come. I’m busy.”
That’s when it happened.
“Cole! Come here.”
“Yes! I’m coming! Big Brother, come again. Okay?”
Cole ran toward the person calling him while turning back and shouting.
“I’ll be waiting!”
The boy who was watching Cole’s retreating figure bit his lips and turned around, then was startled. A girl as pretty as a doll was standing right behind him.
The child’s eyes, a mixture of purple and sky blue, were very mysterious. It was a color he had never seen in his life.
“Are you close with Cole?”
The boy’s mouth stuck shut at the pretty child’s words, and he could only nod his head.
“What’s your name?”
“Ah….”
For the first time, the boy felt ashamed of not having a name, and his earlobes turned red.
“Is your name ‘Ah’?”
“No.”
“Then what’s your name?”
“I don’t have one.”
“You don’t have a name? Perfect!”
The boy looked at the pretty child with bewildered eyes. This child was the first person to say “perfect” when he said he didn’t have a name.
The pretty child clapped her hands loudly, then grabbed the boy’s hand and led him under a tree.
“I’m really good at making names.”
The pretty child proudly spread open her notebook wide.
The boy felt embarrassed again about not being able to read.
“I don’t know letters.”
“It’s okay, it’s okay. These are letters I wrote – Roandriandruandraand, how about it? It’s my favorite letters these days.”
“Why?”
“Because it sounds pretty!”
It was just then that the pretty child widened her eyes as if asking how he didn’t know that.
“Up to Roand would be just right.”
“Mom!”
Before they knew it, a noble lady – no, the Queen was standing there.
But she said mom? Then this child is a Princess?
The boy watched with trembling eyes as the pretty child who had been sitting beside him jumped up and hugged the Queen. Only then did he notice how luxurious the pretty child’s clothes were.
“Mom, I like Roandriandruandraand though?”
“Why does our Princess like long names so much?”
“There are so many pretty letters in the world!”
“Then shall we ask our guest? Do you like long names or short names?”
The beautiful Queen and pretty Princess were both looking at him with expectant eyes.
“I, I….”
“Captain Roand.”
He had just returned to his lodging after wandering outside searching for demon beasts. What was supposed to be a brief rest turned into quite a long dream.
When he opened his eyes, his adjutant was looking at Roand with worried eyes.
“You should sleep properly in your bedroom. Haven’t you barely slept a few hours for several days?”
“I’m fine. But what’s the matter?”
“Didn’t you say to report anything related to Princess Dahlia immediately? While you were away, there was an explosion accident at the palace where the Princess is staying.”
Roand’s face turned pale as he jumped up and hurriedly left the room.
