Chapter 128
“I’ll send you a letter when I arrive. I’ll ask my father to see when a peddler can go to the south. I’ll try to move as fast as possible.”
“Please, Larisa.”
Today, the Kalik clan leaves the south.
After a long discussion, the head of the Kalik clan, his first son, his youngest son, and Larisa, and those under them decided to leave.
The second son and his warriors decided to stay in the south, probably because they judged that completely leaving their base was a risk.
It would also be a problem to hand over power when the whole family went to the west.
‘It’s better for the second son to stay in the south than for the first and second sons to fight.’
It’s a wise decision.
After all, the third son cannot threaten the first son’s position.
Larisa had struggled for a long time between the first son and the third son, and eventually chose the third son, who was obedient and gentle.
The first son, who would be the next duke, was better in terms of power, but it was the result of considering the happiness of married life.
“Go carefully, Larisa. I’ll miss you.”
“Me too. I want to go home quickly, but… I don’t think I’ll forget this place.”
The farewell wasn’t long.
Larisa turned around without regret, and the Kalik clan powerfully left for the desert.
It’s a dangerous desert, but they’re strong warriors, so they’ll be fine.
“Your Highness, they say a meeting will be held in two hours.”
Jin, who appeared suddenly, informed her about the meeting.
Now, she wasn’t particularly startled even when Jin popped up here and there.
It’s natural for a spirit to act like a spirit, what’s there to be surprised about.
‘Today’s meeting is to decide when Yasamin and the central forces of the royal palace will go to the Wilkeron royal palace.’
In fact, they should have gone earlier.
She knew that they were constantly receiving messages from the warriors left at the Wilkeron royal palace… but Yasamin had remained in the south. And the reason was, of course, because of her.
‘Because I’m here.’
Of course, it wasn’t that she didn’t do anything.
She was busy bringing rain and taking care of the people. After bringing rain, she was overwhelmed with terrible fatigue and became helpless, so she needed constant care, and when she recovered, she brought rain again, that cycle.
Yasamin couldn’t leave her like that.
Because he would have to be away for at least ten days.
And that’s the bare minimum.
‘But we can’t leave the Wilkeron royal palace empty like this. The nobles must have already formed a rebel army. The warriors left without Yasamin won’t be able to defeat the rebels.’
Ironically, the reason that rebel army hasn’t moved yet is also her.
She’s the only one with the legitimate royal bloodline, and she’s in the south.
‘They’re probably divided between those who want to rescue me and remarry me, legitimately inheriting the throne, and those who want to pretend I’m dead and establish a new dynasty. That’s probably why there hasn’t been a rebellion yet.’
The faction that wants to rescue her must be the traditional and conservative, stubborn nobles.
But realistically, it’s impossible to cross the infected desert. And they couldn’t just blindly agree with the side that wants to establish a dynasty.
‘Yasamin has to go soon. And I…’
Should I go with him?
But what about this place if she’s not here?
If they’re away for ten days, the south will obviously dry up again.
The water filled in the lake will quickly run out.
Ananta is still far from strong enough.
‘And most of all, I don’t want to go. To Wilkeron.’
She never wants to set foot there again in her life.
Even now that she has established her ego and gained confidence, she feels like she’ll waver again if she goes back there.
Maybe much later….
‘But are you going to keep avoiding it like this?’
Suddenly, a voice echoed from within her.
Siren held onto that one voice and pondered over and over.
“Have you arrived, Your Highness?”
She, who had been circling the sun-scorched courtyard while pondering, organized her thoughts and headed to the meeting room.
Eltan, who had arrived first, stood up and greeted her as soon as he saw her. The others around him did the same.
It was a scene that Wilkeron people would scoff at.
