Book 8: Chapter 45
“Your Majesty, calm down. This matter is actually not that serious. It turned out this way, because you refused to talk to Her Majesty properly.”
“Fuck off with that bullshit! What good will calming down do me?! Will calming down bring my Luna back to life?! Will calming down change Her Majesty’s mind?! Calm down? You want me to calm down?! Alice killed my personal servant, and Her Majesty is just going to sweep that under the rug?! She’s going to just sweep this under the rug, because Alice who’s important to her was the one who killed my personal servant?! What about me, then?! Am I unimportant to her?!”
I yelled at Castell’s face with an aggressive glare. I really wanted to flatten his face with my fist. I really wanted to kill Her Majesty’s personal attendant in front of her. I wanted her to taste the feeling of losing her personal attendant. I wanted her to also know what pain is.
“Your Majesty! You have gone too far! You are Her Majesty’s most important son, but Alice is also her most important friend and bodyguard!”
“Fuck off! I’ve heard this shit countless times already!” I shoved Castell off, and then aimed my gun at his forehead and roared, “I don’t give a rat’s ass what Her Majesty thinks of Alice! However much Alice is loyal to Her Majesty is directed to Her Majesty. It has nothing to do with me. From my perspective, she’s just a demented murderer! A traitor who commits all evils! I came today to take my personal servant home and to punish the traitor! You think you’re in any position to be speaking out?! Either bring the Empress here or fuck off!”
Castell staggered two steps back. He then looked at the gun barrel at his head and took in a deep breath. Castell is Castell, after all. It’s hard to threaten him even with death. He gently cleared his throat then adjusted his collar, “Your Majesty, Her Majesty is your mother no matter what the case is. I can guarantee that Alice’s attempt at your life was not Her Majesty’s idea. Your Majesty, I can understand how you are feeling at the moment. You cannot comprehend Her Majesty’s way of handling it; therefore, Her Majesty is showing acquiescence to your actions. However, this is not a reason for you to refuse to speak to Her Majesty. You and Her Majesty both need to calm down and have a proper talk. We were planning to send Luna’s remains to you even if you did not come.”
“That’s enough, Castell. Step down.”
A voice then came from behind Castell. Castell froze up and so did I. I then lowered my gun. Castell made way and the Empress looked at me with a cold gaze. She was in full gear with the Elven King sword drawn and shining.
My guard unit froze up and looked at me a little hesitantly. They weren’t sure if they were supposed to salute her or not.
