119 Please (3)
Elisha quickly wiped away only one drop of the rags.
To help her calm down, I put what I had on my lap onto the table.
It was the item I picked on the day the prince sent the treasure from the imperial vault.
“Cornelisser’s … . . . It’s a birthday present.”
I wanted to buy it at a trading post if possible, but I had no choice because it was being imprisoned.
Not knowing the interests or hobbies of the 2nd Princess, I had to search the last issue of ＜Biweekly Lister> a lot.
Still, it bothered me that he didn’t bring a child’s gift while asking for a special birthday gift.
I looked at Emperor Frederick with a nervous look.
“Does not matter. Unless you hand over your title.”
She spoke bluntly and started fighting the bread in the onion soup. smile spread
“thank you.”
“Can I open it first?”
Elissa asked. I nodded.
She let go of my hand and unwrapped the coarse packaging. It was a bit awkward because I did it myself.
Soon a flashing figure appeared. The princess’ mouth opened.
“This······.”
It was a statue of a pig carved out of pink diamonds.
It must have been ‘Emil de Ases’, I remembered that it was sent by a certain upper state in the southwestern part of the empire.
I wondered what it meant to give a pig to the prince, but I wasn’t surprised that a golden toad also came in.
According to a recent article, the 2nd Princess has a great attachment to pig dolls these days.
Children were often obsessed with certain animals, so I fully understood.
Eunseo was also obsessed with dinosaurs when she was young, and when she grew up she became obsessed with birds, but now she likes pigs.
“ha ha ha.”
As I was drowsy as to whether this was a mistake, Elissa burst into laughter.
I smiled vaguely.
“Cornelissa will be delighted. The tree has turned into a jewel and has returned.”
I closed my eyes wondering what this was again.
When Elissa blinked, Martier next to her took out an item wrapped in silk from her bosom.
I recognized it right away.
It was the package that she had been wearing the day before yesterday and was about to hand it over to the Juliet Palace.
Martier glanced at the emperor.
“You are bothering me to eat. The wizard will have to check it later. A poison test.”
She grunted and retorted. I thanked the emperor and untied the silk cloth.
A statue of a pig carved out of wood was lying there, covered in red and mottled paint.
I was so cold that I almost dropped it. I could feel the eyes of the main characters sitting on either side of me.
Christel said abruptly.
“so cute. The princess must have painted it by hand.”
Do you like cursed dolls?
“At first I was going to paint it pink. But isn’t that kid not good at drawing?”
Elissa said.
“I wondered what kind of sign it was to return the sincerity you gave me in this way… He must have expected that he would come back with such a precious reward.”
She gently stroked the diamond pig. His eyes were full of love.
It was then that a realization like an electric current flowed through my spine.
Cornelissa likes pigs because her brother, Prince Jesse, gave him a statue of a pig.
I expected it to be so, but I really thought that the relationship between siblings was strong.
Feeling sorry for the princess who did not know her face welled up.
Because I just gave the gift I learned through writing.
“Do as you asked.”
“·················ogue.”
head shone brightly. A splendid joy dwelled within Elither’s wall.
“I and my people will do everything we can to ensure that the son of John Haines arrives safely at the Holy See.”
“ah······.”
“So don’t worry.”
For a moment, I felt like my throat was clogged. I barely said thank you out loud.
Martier looked at me with tears in her eyes.
“I have to tell John the news.”
Cardinal Bootier, who was watching us quietly, said.
I widened my eyes towards her.
“That would be fine, but would you mind?”
“As a father, I think I have the right to know in advance that a child is crossing the border. Right, Frederick?”
“Don’t ask them all.”
The emperor eventually got annoyed. I smiled broadly and looked at her and her son.
The man stared at me for a long time with his orange eyes, and immediately called the attendant and asked for more meat.

The Crown Princess farewell party ended safely.
I told Benjamin and Canael all the stories in the wagon.
A middle-aged man rarely paid attention, and the boy stifled tears.
As a general rule, the confinement would not be released until Elissa left the Imperial Palace, but it was good now.
After returning to Juliet’s Palace, he hugged the red pandas and his courage with an overwhelming heart, and wandered here and there, thinking about where to put the statue of Cornelis’ pig.
Three Shinsoo and one Shinmul eagerly pursued my tail.
Later, when the prince regained his body, I thought it would be better if it was the best place to see.
It was a little creepy to put it in the bedroom though.
The red pig, Kristel gave him the name ‘Jaeyuk’.
“Prince, I would like to see David of Romero Palace.”
“Are you David?”
I put Jeyuk on the mantle piece of the drawing room and adjust the position, but Benjamin came in and announced the news.
It was probably for the prince, but I had no idea.
Soon David appeared, set a courtesy, and said this.
“I will take you to the place of Lord Haines, Prince.”
“…I can go, why is David here?”
It was surprising that the Emperor allowed me to meet Lord Haines, but what surprised me more than that was David.
Aren’t we supposed to send a servant of the Imperial Palace or a member of the Guard?
“Sir Haines is in Romero Palace. It was from the beginning.”
Then the middle-aged man replied with a painful smile.
It was a shocking story, but I was unable to attach the tail of the horse and shook my head.
*
“It’s the same, but it’s different. Just as Benjamin explained.”
“Yes. As it is a pair of palaces built at the same time, there are many similarities inside and outside. However, there are slight differences in size, decoration, and color.”
I listened to David and looked inside Romero Palace.
I recently came to perform ‘Operation Verona’, but at that time, I was so absorbed in meeting the emperor that my memory of the background was hazy.
The Romero Palace was a roughly 1.7-fold enlarged version of the Juliet Palace.
The interior itself was similar, but it was definitely the palace where the prince lived, so everything was gorgeous.
Did you give the room to Sir Haines? Why are you here?
“I keep you waiting.”
Then, a familiar voice tickled her ears. When I turned my head, I saw the prince on the other side of the hallway.
Cardinal Bootie was also with his arms crossed. The pace quickly accelerated.
“I’m sorry, Your Majesty. I didn’t know you’d call me.”
“Did the prince plan everything? Of course, I think you should tell John directly.”
She replied kindly and put her hand on my arm.
It looked like me and the prince were escorting from both sides.
“From here on, only the three of us will go.”
“Doesn’t David follow too?”
“Yeah, today.”
It was a strange word. Does that mean we’ve been together before?
Looking back, Benjamin, Canael, David and Natalie were silent.
It meant waiting there.
I started walking down the stairs with the two of them.
I remember going with the prince and Kristel to clean the underground portal of the Imperial Palace.
At that time, the stairs were dark, and the guards lit torches, but here it was bright and luxurious.
The basement we arrived at was no different from the ground floor. just······.
“There is no door in the wall.”
“Yeah, there’s only one room in the basement.”
said the cardinal in a low-pitched voice. In the distance, a black door appeared at the end of the hallway in front.
The prince, the owner of the palace, remained silent throughout. I glanced over at his side.
It looked a little pale. Lack of ether?
– Again, again
We diligently teased our feet for a few minutes after that.
The atmosphere was strangely heavy, so it was difficult to speak first.
As I looked at the empty wall without a single frame, I felt a sense of ingenuity for no reason.
That was then.
“It’s all here.”
As I turned my attention to Master’s voice, a black and heavy door filled my field of vision.
The prince took out the key and opened the door.
It must have been a mistake, but the tip of his glove seemed to tremble slightly.
– Clap
-Quick profit…
The entrance opened with a painful sound. I was mesmerized by the unreal sight.
“this······.”
It was a dark, dark space.
The only light was that the door opened and leaked in.
My eyes were all black so I couldn’t tell the boundary between the wall and the floor.
At first glance, it looked like a lump of darkness.
If I took even one step, my feet seemed to go out.
“why······. Is there such a place in Romero Palace?”
I asked in a whisper.
It was neither the Imperial Palace nor any other palace, and I could not understand why Romero, the palace of lovers, had such a terrifying room.
“When Cedric was very young.”
The cardinal’s beige eyes traced the past.
“If the etheric flow was unstable and caused a runaway, we had to lock it in a restraint ball.”
I took a breath.
“Light, color. warmth and noise. Those things didn’t help to calm the soul.”
I hurriedly looked at the prince.
It was for this reason that he showed his vigilance on the day he put the restraint around Sir Haines’ neck.
The man growled low with a gaze resembling a flame.
“If you’re having the same sympathy,”
“Now?”
He stopped talking at my question.
“Are you still here? Do you have to come here secretly?”
“·················ogue.”
The flame quickly faded from his eyes. It was the cardinal who gave the answer.
“It’s been 12 years since I haven’t used this place.”
Finally, the breath came out. She released her arm and placed her hand on my cheek.
“It’s okay, let’s go. John will be waiting for you.”
– Paaah!
As soon as the words were finished, the cardinal’s splendid sanctuary dispelled the darkness.
I stepped forward slowly, aided by the golden brilliance.
The circle reflected on the black ceiling fluttered like water. It felt like being submerged in the deep sea.
“Sir Haines.”
And in the middle of the space, a man with white hair was lying.
The jet black restraint ball was filled, but his sleeping face was peaceful.
I could not find the slightest sadness or bitterness that had attacked me.
My legs were still trembling from the fear that remained in my body, but I clenched my teeth and approached him.
[Get up.]
The cardinal lowered the oracle from behind. The white face he looked down on seemed to have incontinence.
Then, his eyelids trembled slightly, and then slowly opened, revealing a mint-colored iris.
He looked at me and didn’t respond. He seemed to think it was a dream.
I wish it wasn’t a nightmare.
“Hello, Sir John.”
“·················ogue.”
As I greeted him, his eyes slowly widened. How do I say it from where?
“You said that you have a sick son in Shinguk. ten years old.”
“······majesty?”
“Yes, I fold.”
He jumped up to his upper body. I was startled and backed away,
-Sureung!
The prince approached in an instant and drew his sword and aimed it in front of me. I held him down a little.
Since the cardinal could be put back to sleep at any time and the ether was blocked, Sir John was now more vulnerable than anyone in this room.
“I······. Why am I here? A reason to keep you alive
“There is. You can’t leave your children behind.”
I mean, he had an anguished face like a suffocating man.
I knew he was about to give up on the forest road.
But I hoped that this would not happen in the future.
“I decided to grant a special pardon to the child in the new country, take it out as a copy of the Holy See, and then put it under the jurisdiction of Priest Sant. Before that, the Crown Princess will provide you with medicine.”
“·················ogue.”
“It’s not a lie.”
I laughed bitterly.
“It really is. The Prince and His Majesty Aurelie here helped, His Majesty the Emperor and Princess Sarnez, Sir Elizabeth, Princess Blanquere, Benjamin, Canael, David, Demi,”
“why.”
Tears streamed down his bearded cheeks. I swallowed the horse.
The man was looking up at me with his eyes narrowed as if he had witnessed an unbelievable sight.
His whole body and his voice were trembling.
“Why, so far… Herrit,”
“It will be fine.”
As if his lips were not moving as he intended, he paused for a while. The child’s name is Herit.
“I, I have sinned. Your Majesty, this is…”
“Not innocence, Sir John.”
I finally bowed down in front of him.
There was no such thing as a splendid speech or a talent for soothing people. So close.
“I just… I hope you do many good deeds while living with Sir Herit. That’s all.”
Sir John, who was staring at me, slowly lowered his back like an old tree.
A suppressed cry was heard. His forehead touched the tip of my boots.
