Alyssa clings to Seidrick and bursts into tears.

The sobbing made Seidrick’s heart full. He likes that Alyssa waited for him. Alyssa still has him…….

He never expected that he would meet Alyssa here.

She was the King.

So he thought he would only be able to see her in the capital…… His unprepared heart was beating so loud that it felt like Alyssa could hear it.

“I love you, Alyssa.”

It wasn’t the right answer to Alyssa’s question, but it was what he wanted to say the most.

“I missed you.”

Alyssa’s cry grew louder at the voice from his choked throat.

“Me too. I… I wanted to see you too.”

Alyssa whispered in a thin, convulsive voice.

“I love you….”

The words she had only kept in her heart were now bursting out.

***

Alyssa, who became king, did not have a very long time. As Seidrick passed through the harbor, his party had to get into a carriage. The handmaids who came with Alyssa handled the work skillfully. They put Alyssa’s hood on meticulously and put her on the carriage.

Originally, no one could ride on the royal carriage, but now it was more important to bring Alyssa home. The handmaids took Seidrick, Juliana, Ophelia, and Kaihan in the royal carriage. And they actually got on a carriage in Cambridge.

The Cambridge carriage will go straight to Cambridge.

The royal carriage was supposed to enter the palace secretly. The capable Dania had ordered that all royal servants, including the guards, leave their place in time for Alyssa’s return.

“I knew this would happen.”

Dania burst into laughter as she saw the Cambridge family members pouring down from the royal carriage. The handmaids are also strangely weak against Alyssa, so perhaps they will come from Cambridge in an unnamed carriage to the royal castle.

“Dania……”

Alyssa hesitated and called for Dania.

“It’s fine, Your Highness. I knew this and prepared for it. I ordered the emptying of your palace, so there will be only people you can trust. You can go there. Sir Seidrick, long time no see.”

“Dania, it’s been a while.”

Seidrick smiled and stood next to Alyssa. Seidrick’s warm hand grabbed hers. Dania shook her head as she saw the two of them clasping their hands. Still, he doesn’t ask permission to hold her hand.

Kendrick had asked Dania’s permission every time he held her hand in the early days of their relationship.

‘You don’t have to worry.’

Dania took the lead.

“Mother, can I go in like this?”

Ophelia was nervous and trembled. It was because she wasn’t officially invited.

“There are all kinds of things in the world. I never thought I’d experience something like this.”

Juliana encouraged Ophelia and led her and Kaihan.

“Kaihan. Are you okay?”

“Hmm! Of course.”

He hasn’t said a word so far. Ophelia rolled her eyes. But seeing that he did not release his hand from Ophelia’s shoulder, her heart softened. While Seidrick was in Belgium, Kaihan stayed by her side. He never left her alone for a moment.

Even though Kaihan would have to take care of the County’s business.

He seemed to think that Ophelia, who had once lost Kendrick, might be frustrated without Seidrick. Kaihan asked Ophelia once a day.

‘How are you feeling today? Are you okay? You’ll be okay.’

Like that.

“Don’t be so scared. It will be fine. Will the King eat you?”

“It is not. Just……. They look so good.”

Kaihan laughed softly.

“Who?”

“Her Majesty and the Duke. The two look so good. In fact, they endure such things and are together like that… It’s just.”

Kaihan bit his lips as if he didn’t know what to say. And then he spoke slowly.

“If it were me, I wouldn’t have been able to stand it. Someone’s death and illness…….”

She seemed to know the words contained in his omitted words without even asking. Ophelia nodded her head.

“Yes …. I think so too. Brother… And Alyssa…… I’m grateful they endured it.”

Ophelia smiled brightly.

They finally got together.

Her heart raced just by following after Alyssa and Sridrick. Thank you both for being by my side. Ophelia pulled Kaihan away.

“Let’s hurry.”

Kaihan meekly pursued Ophelia.
