Book 5: Chapter 18
“Your Highness. You have a letter from humanity.”
Vyvyan took the letter from the messenger. The north should’ve been a field of heavy snow, but after she arrived, all the snow melted overnight, and the northern army returned to their camp. Vyvyan opened the letter and revealed a strange smile on her face. She spoke to herself” “This sheet of paper… it looks like that woman is unsettled. Fakes are fakes in the end. They’re always one step behind no matter what.”
Lucia walked up to the queen and asked, “Your Highness, did the humans send you a letter? What did they say?”
“Hmm…”
Vyvyan fell into a silence for a moment before smiling and replying, “To put it simply, the humans are unsatisfied with your marriage. It looks like they want to find my son a wife so they sent a letter asking to discuss the matter with me.”
Lucia shrugged it off. Vyvyan looked at her, smiled and said, “Aren’t you worried, Lucia? After all, your fiancé is being threatened into marriage by someone.”
“I am not worried because I trust His Highness. I trust His Highness loves only me. And so I am not worried. If there is someone over there who wants to seduce His Highness, I shall personally take her head.”
Lucia looked at Vyvyan determinedly. Vyvyan smiled and then responded, “Humanity’s empress is coming over, so we do have to receive her whatever the case may be. However, Lucia, you don’t have to worry. I will never accept humans.”
“I know. I received a letter from my father a few days ago. My wedding dress is ready. We can get married next month.” Although Lucia’s eyes were still half-shut, her excitement couldn’t be contained and displayed itself in her voice. Two childhood friends could finally tie the knot. That had always been Lucia’s dream until now. She could finally realise it. The future she craved was right in front of her. She just had to reach out to grab it.
