The Fallen Princess

The capital of the Illumina Empire. Grantera.

One room of the tallest and largest imperial palace standing in the center was still quiet today.

This place is like a night castle, so it is as bright as day at night, and it is a place where all powers are concentrated, so people do not stop visiting.

Those who have already monopolized most of the power in a different place than the others.

And it is a crowded place where people who are only looking for an opportunity to somehow catch their eyes and become successful in their careers gather.

But in one room it was just quiet,

It was just lonely, it was just lonely. There was no way to find this place.

A woman wearing a mask made of gold, which is said to be the least toxic to the human body, and wearing clothes made of gold thread, laughed as if in disappointment in the room.

I couldn’t help but smile when I saw the food on the table. Had my tears not dried up earlier, I would have shed a few drops of tears.

“I mean, this is my share of the meal.”

A plate of soup that is so thin that it looks like a sauce without any ingredients on a few white breads.

Not milk, just a glass of water that appears to have come from a spring is her dinner.

When did she ever eat something like this?

It was so absurd that my taste buds plummeted. The woman waved her hand and took the prize.

“Eat all of you. I am like this too, will you eat even a loaf of bread?”

“Princess… I’m really sorry. No matter how much I complained to the kitchen, the only thing that came back was that I had to save money because I had a lot of expenses…”

“No sorry. I am happy enough that you are still by my side.”

There are things you don’t know until you lose them.

At one time, her residence was crowded with people and envoys. The daily gift alone was enough to fill the room and there was no room for anyone to enter.

I didn’t know at the time that people in the world were so scary. I couldn’t figure it out.

Did you say that you know loyalty in difficult times?

Those who flattered her and painted her face with gold.

Among those who pretended to risk their lives for a single word, none of them were true loyalists.

Rather, these maids who followed him to the end were true loyalties.

“An eagle with its wing cut off is insulted even by a chicken!”

The princess threw down a cup of water. Neither gold nor silver.

The wooden cup was neither broken nor broken, but rolled over the ground. The princess sighed and picked up the glass again. This too is precious.

“The room is empty. There is nothing left to pass over things that could be money.”

The mask and clothes are her last luxuries.

Because she had to bring more wealth to those who had brought her wealth and prayed for her.

He bowed his head to rescue those who got on the wrong rope.

A thousand gold was given to anyone who could help even a little.

“When we have time, we even weave…”

“It has been Don’t suffer for someone who’s going to die anyway.”

I thought that if I stretched out my hand, I could seize that throne,

The sky blocked her. It was a disease that nothing could cure.

A disease that rots and rots, and decays alive.

This leprosy, also called leprosy, is a disease that cannot be cured even by divine power. It’s just bad luck and you have to endure it, there’s no way to cure it.

“I am already like a mountain pine. I am just waiting for the day I die.”

“Lowering…”

“However, if even me disappears, how can you endure this derision? So you have to live as long as you live. In the end, you are the only ones left of me, so I’m really sorry and it’s pathetic.”

The princess let out a sigh. Did she keep these two maids in mind when she was in her prime?

Even if it was the maids who were the ladies of the nobles, the maids were treated like a folding screen.

Princesses are also people. Even though she was called the woman of steel, she is also a human being.

Of course, there were people who opened their hearts and trusted them. Which of them is by her side now?

I had no choice but to blame and resent myself for seeing the wrong person.

In fact, it can be understood. What elite would want to be purged with her?

Even finding a way to live and running away from her is understandable.

But the fact that those whom she had despised remain alone by her side,

I’m really sorry I didn’t have anything to say. It means that even though I have eyes, I haven’t seen anyone who will be by my side.

The princess opened her mouth with difficulty.

“If a miracle comes and the original woman can shake off this curse-like disease.”

Without an ounce of pretense, without an ounce of lies,

It was the purest sincerity because there was nothing to lose or gain.

“Then I will never forget your kindness.”

As we were having dinner, the door opened and a maid came in.

The maid who approached without even knocking said it as if it were a notification. The tone was polite, but only the tone was polite. Even that was sensible.

The gaze that once couldn’t even look at her sideways was filled with a disgust as if looking at filth.

“Princess Ardein. A guest has arrived.”

“Guest? who me?”

“My name is Baron Eandrim. It seems that you have come from afar, but what are you going to do?”

“Who is it? There is no reason to come to me from far away.”

The princess slowly stood up. The maids supported her.

Her illness was already so severe that it was difficult to stand up on her own.

But you are a guest. Whatever the reason, I wanted to meet you.

Ardain slowly headed towards the drawing room.

“I see you, the princess. This is Eandream.”

“I’m sorry, but I don’t know. do you know me?”

“god. He is only a minor aristocrat to the extent of not being able to participate in politics, but how can he not know the hero of the old empire? How can you not know the name of Princess Ardein?”

Baron Eandrim wasn’t the faction of Princess Ardain.

To be precise, he was a Korean-American to the extent that he would not reach out to any faction.

A person whom the princess would never have had her eyes on.

Because she had great talent. He selected only talented people and made them under his command.

So, when the crisis came, they might all flew away like migratory birds. If you can’t avoid the fire that falls on your feet, you can’t be called a talented person.

“I wouldn’t have been loyal to him, but if I had tried, I wouldn’t have even deserved it. He wouldn’t have even had a chance to stand on his side.”

“Say whatever you want to say. Did you come to this mountain mortuary to tell such a story?”

“But I want you to know that I am loyal to this empire.”

When the country is in decline, the country’s information is sold and eaten,

If the country collapses, it is necessary to have the ability to sell the country.

There is no law saying that talented people are not patriotic, but the current empire is in decline.

It is a patriot’s job to pay homage to a country that is showing signs of collapse, not the powerful. It will be different for each person, but it is the person who has the upper hand, not the country, that has priority.

Baron Eandrim was not a capable man. He didn’t even have the power to betray the country.

But before that, he was very patriotic. The baron did not come here for the sake of the princess.

Not for her, but for the Empire.

Not for the Emperor’s daughter, but for the hero who can save the Empire.

That’s why he came here.

“Lowering. It may be able to cure the ailment of the lower body.”

“The bullshit. Even the saints of the three gods could not heal. None of the three saints!”

“None of them can cure cavities, but now my decaying teeth are fine.”

The baron opened his mouth and showed his teeth.

The princess looked shaky. To be honest, I didn’t believe any of it.

“God I don’t know. I met a priest who served an unknown and unknown god. He is now in Larpentia, a small town in the south. If you hurry before he leaves, maybe you can meet him.”

“How can a mischief heal something that even the three gods can’t heal! Does it seem that common sense doesn’t even know that I’ve become like this? Are you making fun of me now?”

“Lowering. I have something to tell you. Believe it or not, that is the meaning of lowering the princess. but degraded. Miracles do not come to those who do not search for them.”

Standing up from his seat, the Baron murmured.

“If you still have any hope, go to Larpentia and find the priest there, Kyle. I’m not even sure if he’ll be able to save the princess.”

he knows There is only possibility.

Whether or not the priest will be able to save the princess is unknown until she tries.

And if he fails, he doesn’t have the confidence to take the backseat.

So I’m going back now.

“As of right now, I don’t even have the power to borrow a carriage. The driver doesn’t want to accompany me right now. The Temple are the ones who disapprove of even being withdrawn here.”

The princess lamented.

“Larpentia is far from this archipelago. If I were to travel on horseback, by the time I arrived, it would already be more like an invoice, was it really worth it?”

Horseback riding is an activity that puts a lot of strain on the body.

If she was in her prime, the amount of stamina required to ride a horse is nothing.

Now, you can take damage that is life-threatening.

“Lowering. When he was on the battlefield, he was an invincible fighter who feared no death.”

Suddenly, the baron who was about to leave stopped and opened his mouth.

“But now, why are you becoming a coward who can’t even take a step for fear of death?”

“I’m a coward…”

“I have done everything I have to say. Please do the will of the princess.”

Long after the baron left,

The princess stood there and pondered those words.

He soon burst out laughing. It really wasn’t wrong.

“I will go.”

“Lowering!”

“You wait here for my obituary. I’m sorry for letting you have a bad owner.”

Without a word, she called the maid and told her to prepare a horse. I brought a few things for my travel expenses, but I didn’t prepare anything more.

The maids shed tears and objected to this, but the will of the princess was firm.

“Even if I die, I will not die as a coward.”

If I was going to die anyway, I’d rather die on a horse. She didn’t go to Larpentia with hope.

He just wanted to end his life and make his last trip.

Being locked up in this palace and waiting for death was worse than death itself.
