Chapter 14 - chap 13: maiden

To the east of the planet, lying between Cymru and Alba—blessed by the purifying blue gold of ThamesHead—lies treacherous Albion.

—calm down your majesty, no harm will come to him. — within a medieval manor with appealing architecture. Rosetta, waiting for her from the Wisdor kingdom, tried in vain to reason with Queen Elizabeth.

— how can you be sure? Elizabeth asked, grabbing Rosetta's snow apron tightly. Queen Elizabeth always had this attitude when one of these children leaves the castle. This was the case for the Celestial Princess and Prince Raymond, now it was around Princess Beatrice - Rosetta sighed, it was always up to her to have the painful task of reasoning with the Queen. King Charles had suspiciously gone hunting after the departure of Princess Beatrice, would he have done it conscientiously? Again Rosetta let out a desperate sigh before striking the queen with the back of her left hand.

[ osu ] the queen tumbled onto the marble floor like a being whose mass was absent. Queen Elizabeth let a thin drop of tear flow before being shocked by Rosetta's cold and serious gaze.

—Princess Beatrice is an S-rank hunter and the most powerful being in the land. she was specially trained by me in the art of fencing and in magic by King Charles. — the queen was perplexed by the words of Rosetta, her personal attendant.

"—but.." a second slap resonated on Queen Elizabeth's cheek which sent her flying against one of the four walls of her room, knocking down a frame with the image of King Charles in his youth. King Charles was perplexed by the entrance of the double metal doors closed on them. He was afraid of Rosetta when she was in this state. Even if he was not guilty of anything, his body reacted by instinct.

— stop your childishness! You are the first queen of the union So act with your status. — Elizabeth was once again shocked by Rosetta's words, she was being lectured by a person who had abandoned her title of S-rank hunter to be an attendant of a kingdom.

—you're right, sorry to have bothered you. Queen Elizabeth stood up and pointed her fan at Rosetta. —ah? Rosetta grabbed a ruler from the queen's desk and pointed it back at Elizabeth—She had astutely deduced these intentions.

— It's been a long time since we last talked together, not too blunt? Elizabeth teased.

— check for yourself. Retorted Rosetta.

— King Richard?. Charles Richard was startled at this call. They were the other attendants of the kingdom. —shhhhhhh!! He signaled them not to make any noise or say his name. —? The waiters were skeptical of the signals he was sending. It was indecipherable and unknown to sign language.

'—eeerk! King Charles was surprised by the enormous crashing noise that echoed through the Queen's chamber and was alarmed by the morbid silence that escaped from it.

—kuh! Queen Elizabeth had been driven back to the wall and virtually disarmed by Rosetta. —you haven't lost any of your abilities, as expected of the silver hunter. Elizabeth declared, putting her fan back in the pocket of her long dressing gown. Rosetta had made sure not to damage her weapon during the exchange, the golden lion emblem facing a scarlet eagle made it an object of inestimable value.

— I abandoned this nickname when I joined the kingdom. But so be it. Has King Richard returned? — asked Rosetta when she became aware of the noises outside. They may have been filtered by the multi-layered walls of the castle walls, but for Rosetta, who is an expert in the art of detection, it's like listening to the sound of the wind a thousand miles away.

— King Charles tried to run away when Rosetta appeared in front of him a few meters away. The door was still closed, so he concluded that she had ——teleported.

"—hello Rosetta— King Charles said friendly. Even though his body was shaking with fear and from the inside—the rule that Rosetta held accentuated his anguish.

—King Charles…" Rosetta said in a tone that could otherwise be translated as ——you are dead—— which was precisely what King Charles had supposedly heard behind her sentence.

— Rosetta, I have something important to tell you..— King Charles instantly sank into the ground. Rosetta lightly tapped him with the end of the ruler above his head.

— speaking of important things, did you know about your motivational speech from the inhabitants of the kingdom?

King Charles had a revelation at that moment. He was actually guilty of one thing. He had easily forgotten his speech ——And went hunting instead. — with the Queen in the middle of her maternity crisis, I had to work hard to meet the expectations of citizens. — declared Rosetta annoyed.

.— sorry..— King Charles had closed his eyes slightly. He was convinced that Rosetta would surely strike again. —— He was prepared for it but nothing happened, curious he opened his left eye slightly and saw Rosetta displaying an indulgent look.

—— it's my fault for letting you go some time before the hearing. Charles was surprised at the time. He knew that Rosetta was a good person despite the cold and scary face she often shows.

— so what is important for you to tell me? Rosetta asked curiously.

— You don't get out of there? I'm stuck. Charles questioned. He had been half buried by Rosetta's blow.

"—I have not yet forgiven you" —uh?! .. King Charles had strayed into the conversation but let it slide for fear of ending his clemency.

— the forest has appeared," declared King Charles. During his morning hunt, he ventured into the forest as usual accompanied by Hector, his personal horse. But a strange thing had caught his attention——the forest was empty.

— empty? Rosetta asked.

—yes! Finally the trees were there but there were no more beasts. Replied King Charles. Even after having traveled a distance comparable to that of kilometers, there was no presence. Only a stifling silence was master of the place. King Charles and Hector ventured to the exit of the forest and where once rested an arid and lifeless desert serving as a natural border to the other kingdoms a green forest full of light had appeared. King Charles had ventured there.—— he had been drawn out of his will by the forest. At its center were all the animals of his usual forest and some of which he ignored the existence, the species and.. they seemed to have been drawn here out of their will. King Charles was amazed, in front of him was an immense tree rising up to the sky. His turn could take two days of marching for a battalion. — King Richard in his quest for knowledge crossed a magic barrier. At that moment Hector began to speak.

— uh?! Rosetta would surely have had difficulty believing King Charles' story if she had not herself felt the presence of a mysterious being in the distance.

— have you come to pray to Lord Oberon with us? — Charles was so surprised that he fell from his horse. —under the unyielding gaze of the animals and facing the panicked gaze of Charles was a small being similar to a leaf, these short, small wings beat at full speed diffusing light diamond particles in the form of dust.

— rejoice at the return of Lord Oberon and let us pray to him together at the foot of the sacred Gloxievania tree.

— I retreated to discuss it with the council. Declared Charles ashamed - he had fled from beasts of food and fairies smaller than an apple.

. — gloxievania ..— Rosetta mumbled.

A little before the raid of the diamond guild on the rising sun.]
