Side Story 10

“What?”

Ruellian looked at the paper with disbelief.

“No way. Even Zikren wouldn’t write something like that.”

“I know, right. From the context, it seems like he wrote ‘May you be joyful.’ But even when I look at it thinking that, it still looks like ‘May you be f*cked.'”

That’s so like Zikren. His hand probably slipped and it turned out like this, but he just left it as is. Thinking that the heart behind it is what matters.

Well. I’m grateful anyway.

I briefly recalled his mischievous face before turning my gaze away.

Right below, I could see Aldensis’s familiar handwriting.

“‘The red flame you left behind will remain in our Empire forever.'”

“Who’s that? Aldensis?”

“Correct. It’s a nice sentiment, but doesn’t this sound a bit like a memorial inscription for a tombstone?”

“….”

Ruellian couldn’t deny it.

I continued reading the other messages.

Tell your husband that if he upsets his wife, he’ll have to meet with the Great Spirit.

Don’t ever read the message written above this to Ruellian.

The Great Spirit’s and Queen Aunt’s words appeared side by side.

“But I already read it out loud, what should I do?”

“I’ll just tell them I experienced temporary hearing loss at that moment.”

“How thoughtful of you. I’ll read the next one too. ‘For some, a honeymoon…’ Wait, this seems like the Empress’s words, but this is also a bit dangerous?”

“What did she say?”

“‘For some, a honeymoon might happen twice in life, but usually it’s only once, so please enjoy it.’ This is definitely targeting the Emperor, right?”

“….”

Ruellian couldn’t deny it this time either.

I continued reading.

I’m handling the old fogeys here well, so don’t worry and enjoy your honeymoon.

“Violet just learned the word ‘old fogeys,’ didn’t she? What am I going to do with this precocious child.”

Are you doing well, senior? I’ve now become a splendid villainess…

“Why did Serene stop writing mid-sentence? What was she so busy with?”

For this child to stop writing a letter to me and do something else. When I was in the capital, I couldn’t have imagined such a thing.

“I need to establish some discipline, don’t I?”

I said that, but still, seeing Serene’s pretty handwriting after so long made me feel good. I could clearly hear that gentle voice of hers, speaking softly with sparkling eyes.

That’s right. I could hear everyone’s voices.

-It’s a secret, but this place is boring, so take your time enjoying yourself and come back.

-You’ll send news at least once every 500 days, right? There are only 100 days left now.

-I found a place that sells delicious desserts, let’s go together when you return.

-Ab! So! Lute! Loy! Al! Ty! (This is Benjamin)

-Young Lady… I just wanted to call you that once.

-I don’t know about other things, but I should be the one doing Young Lady’s eyebrows… It’s been almost 400 days since I fell asleep muttering that, you know?

-I even eat carrots these days… Oh, never mind.

Countess Oclair and various other young ladies I was close with. Our hero hamster employee. My advisors who are eternally one team with me.

Next to all the affectionate messages everyone had written, there was an unusually large and blunt handwriting.

Are you doing well? I caught a cold and nearly died but I’m fine.

Seeing what Father had written, I couldn’t help but chuckle.

Did he get scolded by those around him? Or did he think it looked a bit childish even to himself?

Either way, I could almost see Father with a sulky face drawing straight lines to cross it out.

“Below that is Sion. He wrote ‘I’m sorry. I’m really sorry.’… What’s this nonsense about? Did he have a dream?”

“Come to think of it, I wonder if his body has gotten better.”

Listening to Ruellian’s murmuring, I read the letter once more. Carefully checking to see if I missed any parts. Then I rolled it up neatly again and held it in my hand.

I felt strange.

Suddenly, the paradise exploration that had seemed like the greatest event of my lifetime didn’t feel quite so magnificent and brilliant anymore.

It was truly incomprehensible. I had been so excited just thinking about it that my stomach fluttered, and I had been counting down the days.

What should I call this emotion?

An emotion too complex to explain filled my heart completely. I didn’t know what to do and just rolled my eyes around before turning to look at Ruellian.

He seemed to have been watching me for a while already. When our eyes met, he winked at me.

I asked him.

“Do you know what I’m going to say?”

“Yes. I know.”

He smiled brightly.

“Let’s go back.”

The moment I heard those words, my heart felt relieved and at ease.

No matter how selfishly I’ve lived my life, this wasn’t a whim. It’s naturally difficult to look straight into one’s own heart… I had just realized what I hadn’t been aware of myself.

The honeymoon had been truly enjoyable. It was the most wonderful and fantastic of all the time I’d experienced since I was born, and every single moment was perfect without a single regret.

But now I had enjoyed it all.

It was time to go home.

“…Let’s unpack again.”

“Yes… And pack again.”

We both had the common trait of moving extremely quickly once we made a decision.

We unpacked all the mountain of luggage we had prepared for our vacation in paradise, and only selected the things we wanted to take home. It was exactly two suitcases worth.

When we came downstairs, the owner couple was waiting to say goodbye. Seeing Ruellian holding the bags, the kind lady owner’s eyes welled up with tears as she took my hand.

“What should I do. I’m already starting to miss you…”

To the couple who had been so good to us, I pulled something out from my pocket and offered it to them.

“A farewell gift.”

The couple’s faces went blank. They looked at me with expressions of complete disbelief.

“This is…”

“Boarding tickets for the ship to Arcania Island. The ship will arrive in three hours. We’ve left all the vacation necessities behind, so you just need to take our luggage as is. You must also use all fifteen straw hats in my place.”

I spoke quickly and bent down to kiss the lady’s cheek. And Ruellian took off his hat and placed it on the gentleman’s head, saying mischievously.

“Have a pleasant trip.”

The couple stood there dumbfounded until we left the lodging. I briefly wondered if they had turned to stone…

The moment I stepped on the carriage steps and climbed up, screams of joy came from inside the house. And the sound of jumping up and down with overwhelming happiness.

We looked at each other and smiled again.

And simultaneously said to the coachman.

“To the capital!”

The horses neighed vigorously.

It would be a long journey. We took the carriage because we wanted to sit calmly for now, but if we got bored along the way, we could use other methods.

Either way, we could do whatever we felt like.

“Right?”

I poked Ruellian with my elbow, and he laughed and took my hand. Without even asking what I meant by “Right?” Isn’t understanding such things without words part of being a married couple?

The scenery outside the window began moving faster and faster.

We’re setting off on another adventure. A new adventure in life.

With that thought, I closed my eyes comfortably.

Imagining how surprised everyone would be.
