Part 2, Chapter 5 (198)
The Crown Prince, Maximilian.
The heir to Barateum who once commanded the little soldiers.
Since that distant meeting, we’d had no real contact.
Truly, it was a name I’d forgotten about.
But something surfaced abruptly at the word ‘reckless.’
‘Then why don’t you just go all out and be reckless?’
‘…What?’
‘Don’t be wishy-washy about it. Now that I see the First Prince, he was being reckless. So you should be even more reckless.’
I had said something like that… hadn’t I?!
‘Wait, hold on.’
So Maximilian had actually followed my advice?
‘Being reckless and acting reckless are two very different things.’
As I recalled saying that too, cold sweat began trickling down my face.
Had I really ruined a nation’s Crown Prince?
“So, little one, what do you think?”
Leaving my bickering Grandfather and Father behind, my Grandmother gazed at me.
“You are free from being Viju’s Companion. Whoever you marry, you can build that relationship according to your own will. Of course, things would change if that person were to become Viju’s Companion.”
“Yes, Grandmother.”
“Still, marrying the Crown Prince and becoming Empress would bring your household… not glory exactly, but certainly benefit.”
That much was true.
If an Empress emerged from our household, countless policies would fall into my hands to control.
‘But it’s still far too soon.’
[The Emotion Spirit King ‘■■■’ firmly opposes this political marriage.]
[The Water Spirit King ‘Aurora’ is angry, saying you’re too young to marry off.]
[The Luck Spirit King ‘■■■■■■’ advises against marrying a libertine.]
The Spirit Kings stirred with opinions at this sudden marriage proposal.
Scratching my cheek, I spoke clearly.
“I have no intention of marrying yet.”
“…!”
“Not at all.”
At my firm answer, relief washed over Father’s face.
Violet Aunt seemed somewhat disappointed, and Cecilia Aunt’s lips twitched slightly.
Grandfather, Grandmother, and Lewiwood showed no emotion.
“True. But you cannot avoid marriage forever. This is the age when you must consider who you wish to be with and for what reason.”
Grandfather stroked his beard and continued speaking.
I didn’t want to upset my ailing Grandfather, so I decided to simply go along with him.
“Do you have a particular candidate in mind, Grandfather?”
“Hmm. I do have some in mind… but tell me—would you prefer to lead your household according to your own will, or would you rather live comfortably doing whatever you wish?”
I hadn’t expected such a question to come back at me.
‘So Grandfather was seriously considering my marriage.’
This wasn’t a matter to brush off with a joke.
‘But Violet Aunt didn’t marry either, did she?’
Couldn’t I choose not to as well?
“I prefer the former. Both paths lead to happiness, but I want to lead my household according to my own will.”
I lacked the confidence to become like Lewiwood or Violet.
But I didn’t want to simply follow in someone else’s footsteps.
If I fell short, I was willing to accept help while charting my own course.
Even if it wouldn’t be Fasayen—
“Then I know just the fellow for you. That boy is truly upright. His appearance, his character, his manners—there’s nothing lacking.”
If adults praised him to that extent, he must possess genuinely excellent character.
Just as I was growing curious about who he might be, Grandmother told me.
“I met him briefly once before. Blake Isshel.”
“Oh!”
“The young Household Master of Isthel has grown quite well.”
Mongdol.
I couldn’t call him that anymore now… my animal friend with soft fur.
I had given him much affection once.
That was before I learned he was actually Isthel’s heir.
“I’m relieved. I heard he returned to his territory and reclaimed his rightful position.”
“Indeed. He’s grown splendidly since then. Though for his household to be completely stable, it will need a lady of the house. There, you could fully realize all your aspirations.”
There was nothing wrong with Grandfather’s words.
‘He’s even considering my position. Grandfather really has changed so much.’
Knowing this was Grandfather’s way of showing affection, I smiled.
‘Since he knows well how stubborn I can be, he won’t force me into marriage.’
I wasn’t ready to move to the next stage yet. Nor did I wish to.
One door must close before the next can open.
The corridor I was walking through now had no visible exit, and there was only one key that could unlock my way out.
Finding Diolrose again.
“Superti.”
Just then, Violet Aunt called to me quietly.
“The achievements you’ve made thus far are considerable. You’re more than qualified for the Empress’s throne. If we think only of the household, becoming Empress would be best.”
“Sister, please restrain yourself. Who would agree to push their daughter into such a position?”
“The choice is Superti’s to make. Don’t you dare deny your daughter her freedom.”
“Freedom? How can you speak of freedom and choice to a child who doesn’t yet understand the full circumstances?”
Father interjected, clearly agitated.
It seemed Maximilian truly didn’t sit well with him.
“If you’re to remain unmarried, becoming a Resonant is also commendable. Think it over carefully.”
Grandmother concluded the matter, soothing Father’s irritation.
“Yes, I’ll think about it. Grandmother.”
“Yes, since everyone will be attending the General Assembly this time, I’d like to meet each of them. After all, whether I like it or not, I’ll be living with my husband.”
[The Emotion Spirit King ‘■■■’ exclaims about reverse harem, eyes sparkling brightly.]
[The Water Spirit King ‘Aurora’ insists on wanting to see you living happily with just one companion.]
[The Chaos Spirit King ‘■■■■’ offers the opinion that living with multiple men is also a decent life.]
[The Luck Spirit King ‘■■■■■■’ shyly says that as long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters.]
After that came an ordinary dessert time.
Just as I did when I was young, I still loved desserts.
Anything sweet made me go crazy.
Eating the creations of Hans, the Household’s chef, after so long felt wonderful.
It was perfectly suited to my palate.
“Ah, I feel so good.”
The world is all connected, so it must be the same darkness and the same night sky, yet why does the view from Fasayen feel so happy even in this?
Perhaps it’s because this is my hometown?
The serenity given by the pitch-black sea enveloped me.
Walking alone onto the beach, I surrendered myself to the waves that crashed down with a roar, something I hadn’t done in a long time.
Anyone from Fasayen learns not to resist the current.
We also know that no matter how rough the water surface is, what lies beneath is remarkably serene.
After diving deep and rising back up, I took in the bright moon with my eyes.
‘Marriage, huh.’
I knew such a conversation would come someday, but I never thought it would be now.
‘Did I get flustered?’
Gazing blankly at the moon, I took a deep breath.
I wish I had used the Peeping Apology to see this far ahead.
Then I would have known who my husband would be.
[The Water Spirit King ‘Aurora’ teaches that living while knowing everything is not fun.]
[Human life is ever-changing. That’s what makes it precious and valuable. Besides, your husband isn’t decided yet.]
“Yes, Mother.”
[The Water Spirit King ‘Aurora’ makes a gesture of gently stroking your head.]
[By the way, Maximilian and Blake came up as husband candidates. Rasifer must be disappointed.]
That’s true.
He’ll be more than disappointed—he’ll be jealous.
Why didn’t the adults consider Rasifer as a husband candidate?
It felt like they were relieved he was freed from being Viju’s Companion.
‘But it was Rasifer who stayed by my side when I was lonely.’
That boy truly did everything he could for me.
Everyone knows how I laugh, but Rasifer is the only one who knows how I cry.
That’s when it happened.
Against the backdrop of the moon, a paper crane flew toward me with a flutter.
