My Childhood Friend Who Dumped Me and My Ex-girlfriend Are in the Same Class chapter 200

#6

“Are you here, dear?”

“I see you, King.”

Late night, Daejeon of the royal palace.

At the king’s call, Ezio, who sat far from the throne, knelt down on one knee, bowed his head.

The king stroked his beard.

“Well. Thank you for willingly answering my call. I didn’t mean to disturb your rest… … .”

“no. Your Majesty called me, how can I?”

“There is no need to be more than just an example. Isn’t it so late? There is no one to see and no one to listen, so it’s okay to relax. I don’t know why Jim called you… It’s also to share a more sincere story.”

Being next to the throne bothers me because I don’t have one eye to see and one ear to hear. It was Halton, a knight with his silver bastard sword pointing to the floor and placing his hands on top of Pommel.

The king seemed to ponder for a moment, then continued.

“Yeah, don’t think of Jim as the king of this country, but think of him as the father of your daughter. father of a close friend. Wouldn’t this be enough to reduce the psychological distance between Jim and you?”

“… We will try.”

“It’s not an answer I like, but it’s not an answer I don’t like either.”

The king sternly raised his chin.

“Stop getting up and come three steps closer to Jim.”

“Yes, my lord.”

Ezio faithfully followed the king’s instructions.

Whoops, whoops-

jerk.

“My dear.”

“Yes, my Majesty the King.”

“Please refrain from using the name “Delivery” as much as possible. Did you forget what Jim just said to you?”

“It’s a shame, but doesn’t Your Majesty call yourself a burden?”

Halton’s hand, which was holding the sword’s Pommel, trembled. The king knew that, and had reached out his hand in advance to stop Halton.

“… When I heard it, it sounded reasonable. Let me correct it.”

Suck-

The king clasped his hands together, said the king.

“Jim, no. I… Not as the king of a country, but as the father of my daughter Yuri, I want to have an honest conversation with you.”

Then he mentions the events of the early evening.

“There are some stories we haven’t finished yet.”

A conversation that had a hazy ending with Yuri’s sudden appearance. The king seems to have something more to say about him.

“My dear. Let me ask you a question.”

“Say it.”

what’s the question

The king spoke to Ezio, who had doubts.

“Are you familiar with my daughter Yuri?”

“… … What do you mean?”

“It doesn’t mean much. In a nutshell, what kind of taste my daughter has, what flowers she likes, what habits she has, and what kind of bard’s melodies she likes… When it comes to those tastes, in a big way.”

The king drew a bitter smile on his lips.

“What makes my daughter the most happy, when she shows the happiest expression, what she hates the most, how she will react when she finds herself in a special situation, what kind of path she has taken… What my daughter, who is not honest, actually thinks… .”

His head resting on his clasped hands nodded slightly.

“Things like that.”

What did the king want to say?

“You said that you trusted my daughter Yuri very much. You can’t really trust someone you don’t know well. will ask.”

No, what kind of answer is he expecting from Ezio himself?

“I… … .”

Ezio stood in front of the king and pondered for a long time.

“I’ll answer that I don’t know.”

“Hmm… is it.”

It wasn’t a very ambiguous answer. Because I just answered honestly. But it wasn’t the answer the king wanted in his heart.

“If so, why were you able to say so confidently that you trusted my daughter?”

However.

“If I knew Yuri, when I just said that I knew him well, he would be upset by what you mean to say you know me well.”

“… … .”

“I don’t know exactly what the criteria for knowing people well are. But among the people around Yuri, I think I’ve seen quite a few of Yuri’s features that others probably wouldn’t have seen easily.”

That’s the concept of a secret.

It is difficult to be known to others.

A number of such secrets were piled up between Ezio and Yuri.

“More than anything else, I think it’s near impossible to know everyone. How can someone who can’t predict their own future right now, imagine the future of others?”

Seeing a young man who is younger than the wretched king arguing with his own philosophy may seem unreliable.

But the king listened carefully to Ezio. His eyes also seemed to have become more serene and more serious.

“However, the degree of individual taste can change at any time, and the mood and mind also change shape depending on the time and situation, so it is impossible to say with certainty, ‘If that person were like this, he would be like this’.”

“Well… .”

“I’m just guessing with some. Guessing is a term used when talking about an uncertain outcome, and uncertainty means that the outcome can change at any time. So I can’t say I know a lot about a man named Yuri von Artina. Just as there are exceptions to all magic, there are exceptions to everyone.”

“I didn’t know you would dig into such a deep corner, but… … What you said is not wrong. A father who should know his daughter best right now cannot easily make the best choice for her.”

Besides, he was the king who had a hard time dealing with Yuri, whose behavior had partially changed during this time.

I don’t think my daughter is my daughter.

That’s what I thought these days.

“I’m sorry while I was talking. Go on.”

“Yes, my lord.”

The king tried to tell him to drop the title of Jeon-ha, but he stopped opening his mouth when he realized that it would not be of much use.

“Definitely… I think knowing people well and trusting people are two different things. Because we know the bad habits of people we know well, we may not trust them, and we can trust people we meet for the first time, like trusting and following a trusted leader.”

“So is it.”

The king, who untied his clasp and knocked on the armrest of the throne.

“You said that my daughter is reliable because she is strong.”

“Yes, my lord.”

Then he asked Ezio a question.

“If you do, you will know that my daughter is a strong person… How could you be sure to say such a thing? According to you, my daughter may not be really strong.”

“Because I believed in things that don’t change.”

“… What does not change?”

“Yes.”

Ezio nodded once.

“Like I said, I’ve been seeing sides of glass that other people wouldn’t easily see.”

Something like when the two of us were isolated in a labyrinth.

Something like today at the mausoleum… .

“… During a period that can be described as short as short and long as long, Yuri has shown me a lot.”

The King did not know at all, Yuri from the Frontier.

Ezio lowered his voice for a moment.

“To be honest, I think that there were times when trust was less than what it was. but.”

To gossip about a princess in front of the king… .

It was an extremely harsh remark, but the king stopped Halton from flinching from the throne again.

And then, Ezio straightened his back again and said.

“The past Yuri showed me… It was enough to give me faith and confidence.”

What does not change is the past.

“that’s the.”

Ezio.

“That’s why I trust Yuri.”

He finished his speech with eyes full of strong will.

“… … .”

after a while.

“… … You love my daughter so much… … .”

Were you impressed? The king’s eyebrows rose slightly upward. His eyelids blinked slowly a couple of times.

“Hmm.”

The ambiguous-looking king placed his elbows on the armrests of the throne, clenched his chin at an angle, and took a deep breath through his nose.

“Is that so, woo woo woo… .”

Then take a long breath.

“Ezio Cranil. darling.”

“Yes, my lord.”

“Ezio Cranil. Cranil… Is it Cranil? It may be very rude to you, but I have never heard of your family name. Which country owns which estate?”

It was a simple question.

“… … .”

Ezio remained silent for a moment.

“Our family… They are a family of commoners settling down in a quiet countryside in the Empire.”

“… … Well.”

Nevertheless, the fact that the surname that symbolizes the nobility remains as it is means that it is an illusory surname. If you are a noble with only a name, you cannot call yourself a commoner because you are a noble.

The king, understanding what Ezio meant, nodded his head.

at that time.

“majesty. for awhile… .”

Halton, who had only stood still like a statue or decoration, risked rudeness and borrowed the king’s ear.

“… at the time… … did… .”

“… … is it?… ”

“… exile… … re… .”

“indeed… … this… .”

The king’s eyebrows narrowed and opened again, and his eyes widened in surprise and then narrowed again.

I wanted to exchange something with such a small voice.

“Is this that the lifeline is being maintained?”

At the end of the king’s words, the whispering ceased.

“So, I asked you a question… .”

“Yes, my lord.”

big, big-

After a brief cough, the king opens his mouth with a solemn tone.

“It was to first consider whether I could marry my daughter.”

“… … .”

Ezio blinked his eyes.

“… … Yes?”

Soon the greatly dilated pupils trembled frantically.

“What do you mean… .”

Whether he knows what Ezio is or not, he must know, but the King calmly continues.

“In addition to the spiritual support of my daughter, who is still lacking, I really needed a candidate for a spouse who would support my daughter by my side.”

Probably… .

There seems to be a solid misunderstanding.

“I didn’t know you were so sincere to my daughter.”

“I-.”

“Even though she is my daughter, because of her temper, no one has ever shown sincerity to my daughter. Naturally, my daughter did not show any sincerity.”

“No, that. His Majesty the King-.”

“But you are different. If it were you, I would be able to embrace my daughter. Also, I know that my daughter has a special regard for you.”

“majesty-. For a moment, tell me-.”

“Originally, I would not have thought of my daughter’s engagement. What kind of thief dares to steal my daughter, who won’t hurt even if she put it in her eye? It’s absurd! … But if it is you, I can make you marry my daughter, provided that the necessary conditions are met. No, it seems you are the only one.”

“majesty… … .”

“You said you value my daughter very much. Well, I have already confirmed that your words are sincere and there are no lies, and I am well aware of the fact that you have a deep affection for my daughter. … Or am I wrong? Do you not cherish my daughter?”

“It’s not like that, but with the feeling of love—”

“There is no need to hide. As a person and a man, I understand well your desire to hide your love. However, sometimes it is necessary to push forward with courage, as if you just showed your sincerity. What, isn’t there such a thing? Love is to win.”

“Ahhh… … .”

When Ezio is sweating like rain.

“Ha ha ha ha ha!”

Suddenly, the king burst into laughter.

“I farmed for a while. Your reaction is interesting.”

“Oh, is that so? Fortunately, the… … .”

There’s no way a stupid father would joke about his daughter’s marriage. That would be half serious. Are you married to Yuri? It was something he had never imagined for even a second, so Ezio stopped thinking about it any longer.

Then the king furiously raised his eyebrows.

“Relief? Are you saying that my daughter is not good enough as a spouse now?”

“… Oh no. I don’t mean-“

“This was also a joke.”

He let out a small laugh again.

“Anyway.”

After a while, the mood subsided again.

“The reason I called you and asked you about my daughter… I was there to hear your thoughts, but also to ask for your advice.”

“… … Advice, right?”

The king shook his head.

“Aren’t you hoping that my daughter Yuri will return to the dangerous frontier? My daughter wants it too.”

“… you’re right.”

“I think the biggest reason is to stay with my daughter.”

“That is also true.”

Said the king, stroking his golden beard.

“If you do, if you marry my daughter, you will be able to watch my daughter more closely than anyone else, so why don’t you bow down?”

“… … majesty.”

My head seems to be throbbing now. It was a very serious and burdensome joke, so it was difficult to respond.

“ha ha ha… .”

and-.

“… … Me and the queen.”

The king, who had already smiled, opened his mouth for a moment.

“As Yuri’s parents, I have been raising Yuri for seventeen years.”

His eyes were slightly wet with remorse.

“Yuri was a very bright and bright child when she was young. Even his actions and words were unique and pretty. Yuri spread her loveliness to those around her, and was called the blessing of the royal palace.”

The king lowered his gaze as if indifferent, and glanced over at Ezio’s figure. Ezio was still wearing a black suit.

to commemorate someone.

“My daughter was… Me and the queen ruined it.”

The king mumbled bitterly. A piece of regretful emotion could be seen from the wrinkle-filled eyes.

“After my son, I didn’t want to lose my daughter. A new child would never be born again between me and the queen, and there would be no more hope in this country if even the one and only daughter was lost forever.”

When all enemies disappear, other blood families will inherit the throne, but before that happens, the king and queen, who have gone mad with the death of their daughter, must not have predicted what they would do.

“At the time, I thought that was the way for Yuri. But it couldn’t be. I was putting my daughter in a cage.”

“I suffer from the paranoia that if Yuri disappears from our sight, someone will surely assassinate me, so I put a watch crystal ball that is always active in Yuri’s cell… I suppressed Yuri’s independence, controlled every little action, and even provided time for hobbies in the name of ventilation, regardless of my daughter’s own wishes. Natural procedures and Yuri did not enjoy it at all.”

“I was not allowed to touch any magic that could seriously injure me. As time went on, he gave me an introductory level, but he didn’t show much interest in magic. I thought I was lucky.”

Come to think of it, Yuri did not apply for a magic major.

“My dear. Doesn’t my daughter sometimes show you immature, sensitive, or childlike aspects of yourself?”

“… … That is.”

When Ezio spared an answer, the king opened his mouth with a bitter smile as if it was understandable.

“It’s only natural that I didn’t grow up for my age. Yuri’s time stayed at one point for a long time. We were forced to hold it there.”

“… … .”

“Yuri grew up in such an environment. Although the palace is large, it is not as wide as the world. It seems that Yuri longed for the world outside the palace.”

One day, Yuri was the first to express his intention to join a travel circle.

“But what could Yuri do, sitting on the bed in her room and staring blankly at the white wall without windows?”

nothing could be done

“… He even restricted access to the library for fear that Yuri might want to go outside. For example, even if I had to listen to it, I didn’t let him read even a single novel like that.”

at that point.

Ezio vaguely remembered someone.

… A girl who longed for outside the world.

“… My daughter had no friends. No, I couldn’t make it. It was not easy to hang out with the knights like before. This is because they are not only strong, but also carry a blade with them at all times. Aside from the risk of an accident, I kept him away from all the knights for fear that Yuri would die at their hands.”

The king’s eyes, looking into the distance, turned to Ezio.

“I have made a lot of good friends now.”

“… .”

“I am grateful for this opportunity. Thanks for hanging out with my daughter. Thank you for saving my daughter. Thanks to you, my daughter was safe.”

“The castle is coming to an end.”

The king didn’t make a big deal out of it.

“Well… It feels like a long story that doesn’t need anything. It’s the first time I’m seeing you today. I didn’t know that I would be able to tell so much about my daughter’s inner story. Isn’t it a burden?”

“I am okay. On the contrary, I am happy to be able to understand Yuri a little more.”

“Well, it should be. You are the man who will be my daughter’s spouse.”

“… … .”

“Did it sound like a joke?”

“… … Isn’t it?”

“Of course it’s nonsense.”

“… … .”

The king, who was snoring at Ezio, who was speechless, opens his mouth.

“So, me and the queen… You took my daughter’s freedom in the name of doing it for my daughter. After the death of her son, the daughter, who had shown a bright side, eventually became very few words. So it didn’t happen. I shouldn’t have made that choice back then… .”

The king slowly closed his eyes. A gloomy voice came from his mouth.

“Now that I regret it, I really wanted to make a choice for my daughter. It wasn’t just my daughter who had not grown up so far, but us as well. Despite his age, he was a pathetic parent and an adult. Parents who cannot set a role model for their children would be ineligible for parenthood… .”

“majesty.”

It was Halton’s voice.

The king, who slowly raised his eyelids, said as if it was no big deal.

“What, isn’t it true?”

“… His Majesty the Princess will be heartbroken if he hears it.”

“It might be. My daughter has such a kind heart, it’s unbelievable that she grew up in such an environment… .”

Then the king sighed deeply.

“But that doesn’t change the fact that I did a terrible thing as a parent. It still is.”

“majesty… .”

“It has been stop.”

“… … Yes.”

Halton returned to the statue.

“… Finally, I sent my daughter out. On the one hand, I was very worried. I was so worried that the government could not get my hands on it. However… .”

The king spoke in a slightly hoarse voice.

“My daughter had so much fun there. was happy You can tell by looking at the letters written in a round handwriting. The fact that my daughter must have been smiling happily while writing this letter.”

“I was nervous, but I thought it would be okay if it went like this. Now it seems like she has truly regained her laughter, so we can laugh too.”

“It’s already too late, but… From now on, I wanted to live a life for my daughter. No, I let my daughter make her own life.”

“It would have been.”

The king’s eyes became firmer than ever.

“I no longer trust the Frontier.”

It is a voice imbued with a will that never bends its will.

“There is no guarantee that my daughter will not fall into that crisis again. To tell you the truth, I don’t want to send it anywhere.”

“As soon as I gave my daughter her freedom, and she became out of sight, I was on the brink of death. How could you not be anxious?”

“However, I said that my daughter came back alive. Hearing that… My head got dizzy. Even after standing at the crossroads of life and death, they say that they will stand at the crossroads again.”

“As a parent… What should I do?”

“What are the options for my daughter, I do not know. So I wanted to ask for your advice.”

“My daughter has recently undergone changes. It seems that your influence is huge. It will be you, not me, who knows better about the changed daughter.”

“Then, what do you think is the choice for my daughter?”

The King’s will remains unchanged from beginning to end. It was clear that even the seeds of persuasion would not work. Even after seeing her daughter’s tears, she didn’t move her heart. What kind of answer does the king want from Ezio himself?

“… … .”

Does that mean you can make a different decision depending on the answer? That was a very good sign.

‘I’m not sure.’

There was no need to bring Rubia or Stella, who were resting in the room by now, and make them appeal to their emotions. Ezio was going to end it here.

If he was someone who could easily move through emotional appeals, Yuri would have succeeded in persuading him right away.

then… .

“… … majesty. In my opinion.”

#7

Yuri von Artina’s room.

So, the princess’s residence.

“It’s a space with nothing to brag about, but I wanted to give you a tour, but it’s too late. I’m sorry, guys.”

“What are you sorry for? Rather, I just wanted to rest.”

“… okay?”

“yes. Cozy and nice, here.”

It was a royal bedroom, but it wasn’t too shiny or luxurious enough to be burdensome. Is it partly reflected in Yuri’s taste? Or maybe it’s because I’m packing up stuff I don’t need.

‘It’s a real princess’ room… .’

Of course, in Rubia’s eyes, it was a room that only looked magnificent without any distinction. It’s a traditional royal luxury room with a slightly different sensibility from the Epic Class dormitory.

Yuri in a dress said before returning.

“You can lie in bed. Or you can sleep here with me. No, just Rubia, you too, let’s sleep here together. Stella. Three is enough.”

He sits on the edge of the bed and pats the seat next to him.

However, Rubia shook her head with a bitter smile.

“No, it’s still fine. I can’t even sleep now.”

“yes? … why? Are not you tired?”

“I’m tired, but I have work to do.”

Then he glanced at Stella next to him.

“Right.”

Stella opened her mouth with a small smile.

“We have something to tell you, Mr. Yuri.”

“… ugh.”

As he is in a position to leave the kingdom as soon as morning comes, he has only one chance to convince the king. When he was allowed to stay in the kingdom earlier, he was still awake.

Even in the middle of the night, they had to make an opportunity to face the King, even at the risk of rudeness, rudeness, and rudeness.

“That’s what… .”

Yuri, who was biting her lips as if in trouble, finally.

“Is it really going to happen?”

He lowered his head and murmured without confidence.

“Do not give up. Mr. Glass. You can go with us tomorrow. We’ll do our best.”

Although Stella clenched her fists to inspire him.

“Thank you, Stella. However… .”

“it’s okay. everything will be alright.”

“… Rubia.”

“Even if you fail today, your chance is not only today. There is tomorrow and the day after that. Even if time passes, Yuri, if you always have the same heart, your father and mother will respect your wishes. certainly.”

“… I wish it were Hehe.”

Rubia’s confident voice and determined expression make the other person feel a little more energetic. Should I call it plus power? Yuri also let out a small burst of laughter and gently touched Rubia’s hand on the table.

Rubia also gently covers her hand over Yuri’s.

“When we get back, let’s go out to the streets and eat a lot of delicious food. There is also a new area for students’ entertainment, so let’s go there too.”

“Yes… .”

“There are so many things I haven’t done yet. It doesn’t make sense to leave like this. We didn’t even enjoy the festival together. It will be so much fun. certainly.”

“Is not it… .”

“Stella, you too… … .”

Rubia looked back at Stella, who had only had a faint smile, and suddenly shut her mouth as if thinking of something.

“You should have fun too.”

He grabbed Stella’s hand and folded it, smiling softly.

“I came to the Frontier with a lot of effort. You know it’s important to take a break on time, right? When you play, you play for sure. Forget all complicated worries. yes?”

“sure.”

Stella smiled the same way. Perhaps the faint smile was unsettling, Rubia clasped Stella’s hand a little more strongly.

“… did you promise? Stella, you, too, will play with us on the day of the festival.”

“Yes, I promise.”

“I believe it is not just a promise. It’s you, Stella.”

“Thank you for believing in me. Rubia Mr. Rather… .”

I wanted to have a sweet ending like that.

Suddenly, Stella blinked.

“I hear something outside.”

He turned his head and headed towards the bedroom door.

“… huh? What do you mean?”

Yuri questioned.

“Can’t you hear it?”

“I can’t hear you… ? … … Uh, wait.”

“me too… I think I can hear it.”

Yuri narrowed her forehead to the middle and began to focus on something, and Rubia, who had such a good sense, nodded as if she understood.

Yuri was the first to get up. He puts his ears close to the door engraved with the royal pattern, trying to figure out the true nature of the noise.

“I heard voices from nearby. I can hear footsteps.”

Is it the Royal Guard on night patrol? That doesn’t seem to be the case. The sound of footsteps was at least two people.

right then

-Did you only want to see me?

Whether he was just passing by, a clearer voice cleared up Yuri’s doubts.

“ah.”

every time i hear that voice

Several emotions are mixed.

“… … glass? What’s going on outside?”

Rubia tilted her head and said so.

Yuri made a slightly troubled expression.

“No, um… … .”

Soon he let out a complicated sigh.

“… … I think my dad called him.”

“If that guy… .”

There was only one person Yuri referred to as that guy.

“It’s Mr. Ezio.”

So I could understand without saying it.

“Didn’t we call you?”

“yes. I guess he was the only one who called him again.”

“… … why?”

“I know. I don’t know either.”

what to say murmured glass.

“… Guys.”

Analyzing the direction of the sound gradually moving away, I looked back carefully.

“Maybe my dad will say strange things to him. I will go alone. You are here.”

Even if it breaks in, it is better for Yuri to break in. If the three of us go together, it’s going to get busier for nothing. The daughter is the only one who can prevent the foolish father’s unreasonable behavior in advance.

“Or you can go back to your room. It’s okay to sleep here. Because of the nature of my father, once we start talking, it is clear that we will talk for a long time… I may not be able to come back soon.”

“Yes. okay. I thought… .”

“Can’t we go together?”

“no.”

Yuri firmly shook her head.

“If we intervene, the guy doesn’t know what Dad was trying to say. So you… I’ll call you when I’m done talking with him and Dad. If you are tired, you can sleep. Change of clothes will be prepared in each room. Understand? ”

In the end, Rubia, unable to continue speaking, nodded her head, and Stella seemed to agree quietly as well.

“then… .”

Yuri put her head behind her back once and grabbed the door handle. profit… I opened it carefully so as not to make a sound, and looked back one last time.

“I will go. I’m waiting for you.”

So, bang-

The bedroom door was closed.

“… … .”

Rubia couldn’t hide her anxiety for some reason.
