I Will Become the Queen of the Enemy Country

Unlike Karan, Elise was calm.

“People are peeking.”

“And?”

“They will curse you, Your Highness.”

“I’m used to that. Anything else?”

“Nothing else.”

“Good. Then, you don’t have to get used to this face of yours.”

Seeing Karan relieved, Elise tilted her head.

“If I told you to get used to the wounds.”

Karan grimaced as if he had a terrible imagination.

“I am…no, never mind.”

Karan shook his head and gently stroked the area of Elise’s wound with his thumb.

It was a careful touch, but Elise reflexively squinted her eyes.

“Your Highness, you really don’t have to worry…”

“I won’t worry, so you don’t worry either.”

“Huh?”

It was a meaningful statement. It was just a line, but it gave her a bad feeling. Elise asked again, but Karan just shrugged.

Whatever he was thinking alone, his expression was much better than before.

Then, Karan held Elise’s hand, which was lightly resting on his arm like a feather.

“Let’s show them clearly since we’re showing them anyway.”

Karan sent Elise to the inside of the road. Was it Karan’s intention? Elise was out of sight of the two people who were pointing fingers.

Karan grabbed Elise’s hand and started walking vigorously.

Throughout the walk, Karan’s words, which he added as if talking to himself, floated in Elise’s head.

“Don’t worry, whatever I do.”

****

Two days later, a letter summoning the Viscount came from the palace.

Fraser came to Elise’s room.

“Because of you, I’m taking all the trouble! Can food pass through your throat when you cause a fuss in the house?”

Fraser’s momentum was fierce. But he didn’t hit Elise like last time. Should I say he couldn’t hit?

There was a bandage wrapped around his right hand. Did he fall on the road or something? Whatever it was, it was refreshing.

“Stay quietly in the corner of the room. This is the last warning! If something goes wrong, you should know that I’ll have your head!”

Fraser left Elise’s room after threatening.

He was like an old rooster who only raises his voice.

Elise shook her head and closed the book she was reading.

“Regina, speak if you have something to say.”

Regina, who had been watching her for a few days, was nervous.

“It’s nothing, Miss.”

“I’ll ask one more time. Do you have anything to say?”

Regina hesitated and opened her mouth.

“What are you going to do in the future?”

It seemed to question Elise’s plan, but the other side was worried.

How are you going to live with Viscount Fraser and the prince of the barbarians?

“Regina, I’m going to live very well.”

“Barbarian, I’m sorry. Are you thinking of going to Tetris with His Highness Karan?”

Regina’s pupils were full of anxiety.

‘I can tell Regina. I have to ask her opinion too.’

Elise decided and nodded.

“I’m going to marry His Highness Karan. Of course, I will go to Tetris. So, Regina, do you want to go with me?”

“Huh? Of course! I have to go!”

“Regina, I’ll give you a few days to think about it. Tetris is completely different from Bedrokka. I’ve never been there, but it’s very cold and desolate. You won’t be able to get your favorite Alleycat Times on time. You won’t be able to see your family either.”

“My family is only you, Miss.”

Elise was taken aback. She had made a big mistake.

Regina’s family lost their lives two years ago when they set foot in Ragnaros’s land, the Centris region.

The land where Ragnaros sleeps was called the Centris region by the people of the continent. Even though he was asleep, Ragnaros’s influence was so terrible that humans could not live in the Centris region.

Unpredictable weather, rotten land, difficult-to-breathe atmosphere, and monsters intermittently popping out of the gate connected to Ragnaros’s nest.

That’s why humans often suffered damage.

‘It will increase in the future. Because the time for Ragnaros to wake up is approaching.’

If it was like what Elise had experienced, Ragnaros will wake up in 10 years.

“I’m sorry, Regina.”

“No, Miss. If you are firm and have already decided, I won’t worry anymore. I will follow you.”

Regina was consistent, both in the past and now.

Elise had to live harder in this life to repay her faith.

“Oh, the teacup is empty. I’ll bring more tea, Miss. Should I prepare some snacks on the way?”

Elise didn’t want to eat snacks, but she needed some alone time, so she nodded and sent Regina out.

Elise picked up a book. It was a travelogue of Tetris written by a Bedrokkan.

Although it was all curses about Tetris, it was a book she brought because reading even one character would be helpful rather than going without knowing anything.

[Smoke rises in the desolate plains. We called it the devil’s breath. Not a single blade of grass grew in that hot place that smelled like boiling eggs. …The people of Tetris are arrogant. So they don’t know the concept of cooperation. Even when a log fell and blocked the road, they didn’t think about cooperating to remove it, but often bet on who could move the log. Because of that, the travel schedule was always messed up…]

‘Devil’s breath… They seem to think so. How foolish.’

Elise laughed at the author’s ignorance and continued reading the book.

“You’re at peace.”

“What’s the matter?”

Elise asked.

“I came to see if you were reflecting well because you had a big accident. But instead of reflecting, you were planning more accidents.”

Iris crossed her arms and sneered.

“You must be disappointed. Because I’m not crying.”

Elise chuckled.

“Disappointment is for those who had expectations. I have no expectations for you. You’re a commoner, you have no ability, and you’re not good-looking.”

Iris grabbed Elise’s chin and shook it from side to side, then threw it away as if to throw it away.

“You look vulgar.”

According to the beauty standards of Bedrokka, Iris’s words were somewhat correct.

A cat-like appearance was not welcomed in Bedrokka.

You had to have a deer-like atmosphere with innocent puppy-like eyes to be praised as a beauty.

‘Iris is a typical beauty.’

There was a time when she was really envious of Iris. She wanted to be like her, so she drew her eyebrows in a round arch shape, and she didn’t open her eyes as straight as possible.

But now, Elise didn’t envy Iris at all, nor did she think she was pretty.

‘I can’t look pretty knowing that there’s a snake inside. Unless it gives me the creeps.’

Ellis unknowingly laughed at Iris.

“Why do you look like that?”

Iris picked a fight without fail.

“Why are you trying to catch a handle even with the expression? If you have nothing to say, go away.”

“You should have something to say, not me. I need to know what’s in your little head. What are you going to do?”

Why does she keep coming to find herself and stir things up when she should just accept it as it is?

Elise was slowly getting annoyed.

“What do you think will happen?”

“What do you mean, what will happen? You will marry His Highness Chase as you are. And because of this incident, you will live your whole life without being able to vent your anger. What will the social world chatter about? Poor His Highness Chase… Don’t tell me, did you plan this incident to get His Highness Chase’s sympathy? Then it could be a great love.”

Iris satisfactorily wrote a plausible play by herself.

Elise suddenly realized that she had an image of throwing away her dignity for Chase’s sake.

Her mood immediately plummeted.

Every time she encountered her foolish past self, her mouth soured.

Elise looked at Iris askew.

Their tense gazes clashed.

Elise, who turned her gaze first, picked up a book. There was no greater way of expelling guests than this.

She felt Iris’s sharp gaze on the back of her head.

And after a while, the sound of the door closing was heard. Elise slowly put down the book.

“Me going to marry Chase?”

Pfft. Elise smirked.

“What will happen, let’s just wait and see.”

****

“I’m very disappointed, Viscount Worton.”

“Your Majesty, I apologize. But the content that came out in the gossip is not true. As you know, my second daughter has a deep love for His Highness Chase.”

Fraser was sweating profusely in front of the King of Bedrokka, Lange, without even being able to sit down.

“Whether it’s true or not is not important. Because of your daughter, the honor of the Kingdom of Bedrokka has fallen to the ground!”

Fraser flinched at the shout.

Lange was famous for not having emotional ups and downs as he was born and raised in a peaceful era, and he was praised as a generous king who forgave his subordinates’ minor mistakes.

He wasn’t a very good person as a father or husband, though.

But even such Lange had one thing he absolutely couldn’t tolerate, and that was the disgrace of the Bedrokka royal family.

Was it because he ascended to the throne solely for the reason of being of royal blood? His obsession with the honor of the royal family was strange.

“I will somehow rectify it.”

“How? The whole world knows that your second daughter made Chase a laughingstock? Your connection with my family ends here.”

“Your Majesty, why do you say such sad words.”

Fraser clung to him, but Lange didn’t bat an eyelash.

Lange exuded a cold aura and gestured to the escort knights.

The king’s knights puffed up their upper bodies and stood next to Fraser.

“Do you have to be dragged out to leave?”

At the cold voice, Fraser knelt down on the spot.

The amount of investment he received for the reason of marrying into the royal family was enormous. If they pull out their investment, the Worton family will end up sitting on the street.

He had to connect with the royal family in any way. Only then could he protect his business and his family.

Fraser’s head was spinning. He repeated the process of coming up with a few measures in his head and erasing them.

There was something lacking in turning Lange’s heart around.

At the end of it, Fraser’s face hardened at the thought that came to mind.

‘Is this the only way.’

He didn’t like it, but there was no sharper way than this now.

First of all, he had to turn Lange’s mind to expectation for the next.

“Your Majesty, I have two daughters.”

“What do you mean?”

Lange showed interest in Fraser’s words.
