94 – Afterword – Waltz for a Happy Ending (1)
***
“I’m hungry… I’ll be your little sister, so do you have anything to eat?”
Kiera asked, rubbing her stomach with a hungry face.
Maru bought bread and fruit with the money in his pocket and went to the corner of the market.
I crouched down to give Kiera something to eat, and she started to gobble it up as if she had heard something.
Maru smiled happily.
‘It’s too real to be a dream, and I can’t believe it. To really return to the past.’
The scenery, the air, the people, everything is the same as before.
Things that I missed and remained as memories.
“Coke! Coke!”
Kiera pounded her chest.
“Have you been?”
“Coke! yes… !”
“Here is water.”
Maru cut the head-sized fruit in half with his hand and handed it to her.
It was a fruit with juice in the fruit like a coconut.
While Kiera gulped down, Maru was lost in thought.
‘The warrior’s power… ‘
The fruit he had just split had a very hard peel.
But I broke it lightly.
‘It’s still with me… ‘
I looked up at the sky.
‘Yes, that’s right, God… They must be watching me.’
Kiera tapped her arm lightly with her finger.
“yes?”
“what’s your name?”
“me?”
Let’s fill the hunger and go to the energy.
Her face brightened more than before.
“Floor. one floor. you?”
“I am Keira.”
“Last name?”
“No. My parents didn’t teach me.”
“I’m not going to live with you.”
“… I’m abandoned. I am an orphan.”
Oops.
I forgot.
“There are many people like that.”
What is a lot?
“where do you live? Do you have a house?”
“I’m in a residential area near here… ”
Inadvertently, as before, the lies flowed naturally.
But in the middle of the talk, I changed my mind.
“No I… ”
It had to be different this time.
“It’s the crown prince. do you see it over there? I live in that big building.”
He pointed with his finger at a tall, majestic castle in the distance.
Then Kiera looks suspiciously at him.
“Are you lying?”
“What are you lying for?”
“What’s wrong with the prince’s clothes? It looks like a commoner. Coke! Coke!”
Keira suddenly coughed.
It didn’t come out because I heard it.
It was hemoptysis.
There was blood on the palm of her hand covering her mouth.
Kiera hurriedly rubbed her clothes to hide the blood.
Maru pretended not to see and stood up.
“You really can’t believe it? Would you like to go with me?”
“Where are you?”
“Imperial Palace. Haven’t you ever seen one?”
Maru smiled brightly.
He soon took Kiera with a curious expression on his way to the castle.
after a while
The two looked up at the panoramic view of the magnificent castle right in front of them.
“Wow… Looking at it now, the castle is very cool. At this time, the building is not old, so it is sparkling. The exterior is dazzling.”
In the future where Maru ruled, the castle was aging and it was difficult to repair it every day.
Anyway, I didn’t know it at the time, but the castle at this time was as brilliant as my mother’s shining achievements.
When I came back to the nostalgic days, I felt better.
As I walked along, humming a song, Kiera looked at me with a worried look.
“I am the real prince… ? You are the crown prince right?”
“why? Are you worried that it might be fake?”
“If you play around, you will go to jail. I am afraid of the guards.”
“don’t worry. Believe me.”
Upon reaching the main gate of the castle, the guards saw the floor and quickly grabbed each other and took a stand.
“There is nothing wrong with working!”
“There is nothing wrong with working!”
“Oh oh!”
They were familiar faces.
“Hush! Johnson! Nice to see you again! Good to be healthy!”
Maru lightly tapped the stomach of the two and went inside casually.
“The girl behind me is a friend. let me in.”
“Yes, four!”
Kiera’s mouth dropped wide as she watched.
When the guards politely gestured for her to go inside, she hurriedly followed the floor.
Hirsch and Johnson tilted their heads.
“what? Didn’t I see you this morning?”
“That’s right. They say hello as if seeing each other after a long time.”
“Is this also a setting?”
“You mean the commoner setting you mentioned in the morning?”
Maru walked all the way into the castle.
Wherever you look, you will see people who are glad to see you again and friendly scenery.
I was also looking forward to seeing my mother.
“Aren’t you doing anything?”
Kiera, who had been preoccupied with looking around the castle, flinched at the sudden conversation.
“Me, me?”
“Why are you nervous? Can you believe that I am the crown prince now?”
“I’m sorry for doubting the crown prince. I have sinned to death… ”
“do not say that. done. Anyway, you have nowhere to go and nothing to do, right?”
“yes… Because that’s it… ”
“that is great. Follow.”
It should be different this time.
I wanted to present a different fate than the path of the hero who drove Keira to tragedy.
Even if it is a road far away from you.
“Let him stay here.”
A few minutes later, I was talking to the head maid.
The maid looked over the shabby-looking Kiera from the tips of her toes to the tips of her hair, then tilted her head.
“majesty. Whose daughter is this child?”
“I don’t know. We met by chance on the road. I brought you to live in a homeless high school.”
“Aha… You see.”
“Make him do anything he can at his age. The job looks good.”
“all right. I need to start by tidying up the futon.”
Maru faced Kiera before leaving.
“Even if the work here is difficult, do your best and do well. I will feed you and put you to sleep for free, and I will give you money if you work hard.”
Keira’s eyes sparkled with joy.
“Can someone like me really stay here?”
“yes. I gave permission.”
“Go, thank you!”
“I’ll come see you later. From now on, just follow this person.”
After entrusting Kiera to the head maid, Maru headed for the main palace.
Keira’s troubles weren’t over yet.
Her most important disease problem remained.
I went to my mother to solve the problem.
“You always have to call me, so what’s the matter?”
My mother, who was sitting in a chair in the office, looked at me sternly.
As befits an emperor who rules a vast empire, he has a dignified appearance and a sensual and voluptuous body that is burdensome.
A woman with the strongest motherly love in the world was in front of her.
‘Oh My God. It’s a sight I longed for.’
As a child, the image of my mother sitting at the office desk was one of the most unforgettable scenes in my mind.
More at noblemtl
Just thinking about it is vague, I wanted to see it again, I missed it so much.
It felt like I was back to the days when I was really pampered.
“after… ”
Maru remembered the moment she buried her mother’s coffin, and she seemed to be about to burst into tears.
However, he quietly swallowed his saliva and tried to regain his composure.
He had to act calmly and naturally so that no one would notice that he was a son from the future.
“mother. I have something to tell you.”
“Are you going hunting monsters again? disallowed.”
“no. It’s a different thing.”
“What is it?”
Maru said with strength in his eyes.
“The elixir in my mother’s safe. I want you to give me one bottle.”
Elixir.
A panacea.
My mother, who once lived as a warrior, had 3 bottles of elixir that others would hardly ever see in her life.
In the future, I didn’t even know that my mother had an elixir at this time.
After my mother passed away, I found out while organizing my belongings.
One empty bottle and two full bottles from the safe.
At that time, one bottle was drunk by my mother in her later years, so only two bottles remained.
“Where will you write it?”
Alexia looks up with interest.
“You are well aware that an elixir is a very valuable elixir comparable to a dragon’s heart, right?”
“Yeah, I know. I want to help a friend who is terminally ill.”
“I know that none of your friends have sick children, right?”
“I have a new friend I recently made. It’s a girl named Keira. I am not an aristocrat, I am a commoner.”
“Spend that expensive thing on a friend you just dated? Besides, to a commoner child?”
It feels like your mouth is dry.
“… yes.”
“Hmm.”
My mother looked at me gently, but said nothing.
It kind of feels like being rejected.
Well, it makes no sense.
Would you give that expensive thing to a girl you don’t even know…
“This is a request for my son, so you have to listen. i get it. weekend.”
Unexpectedly, a willing consent fell.
A bright smile hung on Maru’s mouth.
“Are you giving it? really?”
“There is only one condition.”
She raised her eyebrows.
“Sleep with Mom every night until she gets tired. If you refuse, there is no elixir.”
“Ugh.”
damn.
Caught stuck.
Come to think of it, at this time the mother loved sleeping with her son.
However, Maru was embarrassed to sleep with her mother, so she hated sleeping with her.
“… I see.”
In the end, he surrendered meekly.
what to do
The Elixir was worth the sacrifice.
a few hours later
dinner.
Maru entered Alexia’s bedroom with a weak step.
“Are you here?”
Alexia, who was sitting in front of the dressing table, put on a happy expression.
Unlike during the day, her hair was let loose.
The atmosphere changed from solemnity to innocence.
Four ladies-in-waiting were waiting on her side.
“I just finished work and am in the process of removing my makeup. Sit down a minute.”
“yes.”
“The elixir is on the desk.”
A small bottle was placed on the desk where various papers were neatly arranged.
Maru took the glass bottle.
The clear bottle contained a purple liquid.
‘The color is brilliant.’
He put a smile on his lips.
great.
This could cure Kiera’s illness.
“Why are you dressed like that? Would you like pajamas?”
Alexia said to herself and immediately ordered a maid to bring Maru’s pajamas.
Regardless, Maru was sitting at his desk and imagining his future steps.
‘Leave Kiera here alone… ‘
Lucy and Natalie go to see Audrey.
I get the feeling that Lloris is beckoning me from afar, but I can just leave him alone.
Because he seemed more comfortable living in the temple teaching his disciples than risking adventures.
While Maru was thinking about that, Alexia removed her makeup, took a bath in the room, and changed her clothes.
Eventually, when she was ready to go to bed, she called the floor as she lay on the bed.
“What do you think there? come on up Let’s go to sleep.”
The time has come for her to suffocate under the weight of her mother’s voluptuous breasts.
Maru was uncomfortable when sleeping, so I hated it.
He climbed onto the bed and lay down with a puzzled expression on his face.
“Why did you turn your back? Come here and I will give you a hug.”
“eww… ”
I had no choice but to turn around and slip into my mother’s arms.
Because I have to pay for the elixir.
A good scent emanated from the mother’s breastbone.
