Regina Rena – To the Unforgiven

“Sir Lynn?”

As soon as Lena whispered, the clouds spit out the moon. The faint moonlight reflected the youth graceful face. It was Lynn.

Lena’s eyes opened wide at him, and Lynn let go of Lena’s arm. Lena, who was released, mumbled something seriously.

“I forgot.”

“What?”

“Safety device.” She mumbled, spinning her stiff wrists.

Lena, who was surprised at the silent approach, clenched her teeth. Lynn told her to stab him with a dagger when he approached her.

“I didn’t think it would be necessary.”

“What did you just say?”

“Nothing…”

Lynn murmured silently when Lena asked. Then, she burst into laughter at his answer.

Lena then spoke in a clearer voice.

“We met earlier than I expected.”

“Yeah.”

She thought they would meet at the Imperial Palace, but they met here right away. Lena and Lynn were honestly welcoming each other. And Lena noticed Lynn’s vague appearance.

“The atmosphere has changed a lot, right?”

Lena said as she looked at Lynn’s hair and clothes.

He looked different from what he was a few days ago. Instead of the old cloak, he wore an embroidered coat. In addition, a high-quality satin blouse was seen inside.

A young man who looked like a wanderer appeared to be a nobleman. If Lena hadn’t listened to his voice, he might have been mistaken for someone else.1

When Lena was amazed at the appearance, Lynn answered softly.

“Because this is the Imperial Palace.”

“I didn’t see everyone dressed like that.”

When Lena pointed out, Lynn turned to embarrassment.

“Are you walking?”

“Yeah. What about Sir Lynn?”

“Me too….”

Lynn hesitated and answered slowly. Although she approached his heart with great interest, when he actually met her, he was confused about what to say.1

Even though there were many things he wanted to say, there was nothing he could easily say. So he tried his best, and suddenly Lena’s outfit caught his eyes.

‘It’s pajamas again.’

He looked up at the lady in a nightgown and asked again.

“Isn’t it cold?”

Suddenly, Lena blinked her eyes and rubbed her shoulder.

“A little.”

Instead of being cold, the burning sensation rose because of the poison, but she pretended not to be.

He soon took off his coat and ran it over Lena’s shoulder, it’s also a way he managed to make an excuse to walk together.

‘He’s good.’

Lena felt warmth and peeked at Lynn’s face.

He was sweet. He treated people with pure goodwill, without concentrating on consideration. Lena, who had poisoned herself with complicated malice, was pleased with his kindness.

It wasn’t a feeling of consolation, but it’s still good.

It was when Lena took her heart and soul back.

“Did you meet your father well?”

She was just having a change for a while. When the topic about her father came, Lena smiled bitterly.

“Is that a question or simply just to check?”

“I heard you met.”

“How far did you hear it?”

“They treated you insincerely.”

“You’ve almost heard it.”

Except for the poison.

“Everything sells well in the Imperial Palace, I think it’s true.”

Lynn was sneaking up on Lena. He was curious to know what her intention of visiting the Marquis, it’s not because she didn’t know the nature of the Imperial Palace.

Then what?

“Are you really Lena Rubel?”

“Pardon?”

“Are you really the daughter of the Count who died of illness?”

“I didn’t die of illness, but it’s true that Count Rubel is my father.”

Lynn’s suspicion deepened in the mischievous answer. If she’s truly the Count’s daughter, it’s a strange situation. Count Rubel had a dead daughter, and the daughter visited her father after many years. Even in the Imperial Palace, where all the eyes of the world are focused, and even before the National Founding Day.

So, she came here with an intention?

‘It’s too dangerous.’

The sudden appearance of Count Rubel’s daughter would be very burdensome. But it’s not the same with Lena.

Count Rubel was a key figure in the North. Could people blame a big shot like him for covering up this scandal? If she recklessly threw a stone, she might be swept away like a landslide.

“Why do you want to meet Count Rubel?”

“Sir Lynn is very interested in my business. You didn’t even mention anything about yourself.”

When Lynn curiously asked, Lena’s smile became weary. Lena liked this young man’s kindness. However, his curiosity was excessive.

Besides, Lena wasn’t very happy about this topic. So, she insinuated him to keep silent, but there was an unexpected answer.

“I am from the East,” Lynn confessed.

Now Lena was in silence, she lost for words at the confession.

“I didn’t tell you before because you’re Marquis Rubel’s daughter.”

Lena’s eyes melted with a smile at the unexpected words. But Lynn said something again without notice it.

“I thought you would feel uncomfortable knowing that I was from the East. It was meaningless, but I didn’t know who you were then.”

It’s a fact that all Imperial people knew that the East and the North were at odds with each other. So Lynn couldn’t reveal his identity to Lena, who claimed to be the daughter of Marquis Rubel.

In such a situation, it would be even more difficult if she knew she had met her father’s enemy. And Lynn’s explanation was quite embarrassing to Lena.

Lena thought Lynn was simply rude to hide his identity. But turned out he was also very considerate.

“Sir Lynn is really….”

Lena mumbled and laughed as if she couldn’t get it. Then, she confessed.

“I want to exist.”

“Hm?”

“The reason I want to meet my father.”

Eventually, Lena answered his previous question.

“Sir Lynn said that, too. ‘Are you the daughter of the Count who died of illness?’ I’m like that now. Cleared from the world, strange to be alive, more natural to be dead.”

Lena said, looking down at her hand, five fingers moved at her will. It’s a small move, but Lena again confirmed that she was alive.

At the same time, she laughed at the situation where she had to confirm her existence.

“So I came here to ask for my father’s responsibility.”

“Responsibility?”

“Since he has erased me, he has to get me back.”

Lena laughed calmly, then she added lightly.

“But, rather than asking for responsibility, I haven’t met him yet.”

She confessed to someone for the first time but seemed like Lynn heard it vaguely. So he asked carefully.

“Do you want it back?”

“What?”

“The altar you found. If there’s anything, maybe Rubel wants to meet you with that.”

“You’re going to give me back my concession?”

When Lena asked with a smile, Lynn gave a nod. Lena realized that he was serious and smiled deeper.

“I appreciate the offer, but it’s okay. I want my father to welcome me, not something else.”

In response to Lena’s resolute answer, Lynn glanced at her side face that was exposed by the moonlight.

It was amazing. Friendly people are soft and strong people are cold.

This lady was soft and firm. He couldn’t say that he knew everything with only two meetings, but he was already impressed with just two meetings.

Lynn muttered unwittingly, his face was so different.

“Strong, you.”

“Sir Lynn is pretty.”4

Then he groaned under the counterattack.

When Lynn stared intently, Lena laughed at him. Eventually, Lynn coughed for nothing and whispered.

“If the Count refuses, come to the East.”

“What if I go?”

“I will treat you properly.”

“That’s funny.”

“What’s funny?”

“It’s Sir Lynn. I thought you only searched for the altar alone and it was the end, but today I think your position is higher than I thought.”

In the unexpected proposal, Lena said with a grin.

“Should I call you the Duke the next time I see you?”3

Lena stopped walking and asked Lynn, who stopped along with her.

She’s doubt a long time ago, but now it’s certain. When she met Lynn a few days ago, she thought of him as an Imperial Messenger. So, he was sent to find the altar.

But today she knew that he wasn’t. Top-quality clothing, attitudes toward the Marquis, and even the words that represent the East. She had heard about the young Duke of the East.

Lynn sighed at Lena’s suggestion. He didn’t expect her to notice him so quickly, though he didn’t intend to hide it.

“It should be in front of people.”

In front of people? Lena mumbled, thinking it was a clue.

“I have a question.”

“What?”

“Sir Lynn…”

Lena called Lynn’s name on purpose. Lynn looked nonchalantly, and Lena decided to keep calling.

“Why did Sir Lynn go alone? To find the altar.”

“It’s the quietest and fastest.”

It’s the most reliable and safe way. And because he needed it. Lynn had a number of reasons, but he said only two things and hid the rest.

But Lena noticed some of his hidden things and smiled like a crescent moon.

“The knights of the East must have suffered a lot too. They have to search for the Duke.”

“Not really. Come in peace.”

At Lena’s mischievous words, Lynn smiled and denied it.

He meant it. The owner of the East was coveted by this lady with her power, composure, dignity, and charm. So Lena took the hint, but she refused without worry.

“I appreciate the offer, but I think it’s going to be difficult.”

“Why?”

“I have something to do. Or will Sir Lynn come to me? Pretty Sir Lynn is always welcomed.”

Lynn’s expression became subtle in Lynn’s suggestion.

Lynn looked at Lena for a moment of truth. The lady looked straight at him, and Lynn finally burst into laughter.

“You really…” Lynn mumbled something but soon laughed.

He hadn’t revealed it to anyone, but the name ‘Lignan Eitner’ was an insurmountable burden to him.

So he couldn’t reveal his identity to Lena, whom he met as ‘Lynn’. Or ‘Lynn’ would be crushed by ‘Lignan Eitner’ and disappeared.

But for some reason, Lena ignored it lightly. Even if she wanted to, she would withdraw.

‘I knew it was a big deal, but…’

He never thought this would be good. He felt as if he had been caught off guard. But it was not bad. No, it was rather a pleasure.

“I’ll think about it.”

Lynn replied comfortably. The lady nodded her head, and it made the young man smile even more.

The lightly started walk was getting longer than planned.

But they never realized it.3

🍃🍃🍃

When it was time to part, Lynn asked before saying goodbye.

“What should I call you the next time we met?”

“Is there anything you like to call me?”

Lynn laughed bitterly at Lena’s playfulness. That’s not a joke. Then Lena changed her words when she saw Lynn felt sad.

“In front of the people, please call me Lady. When it’s only two of us, please call me by my name, Lena.”

Instead of saying yes, Lynn turned to the lake.

“I often come out to walk at night.”

“What?”

“Just, Yes.”

Lynn said without looking at her. Lena searched for the meaning and bit her lower lip.

“What a coincidence.”

Lena swallowed her smile and looked away like Lynn.

“I like to take a night walk too.”4

🍃🍃🍃

The dawn broke and the sun was shining and through the sky. Early in the morning, the Butler of Count Rubel sat by the window like a rotten old tree.

‘It should be over by now.’

The Butler, who had stayed awake all night, sighed. It was a long night like a thousand years. He couldn’t relax because he didn’t know what would come.

He was very worried, but fortunately, last night was calm. There was no news that a lady was dead in the middle of the night or that someone found her and her life was saved.

She seemed to have died quietly as planned.

‘We should move….’

The butler looked at his watch.

Now he had to go back. It’s a death in the Imperial Palace, so it’s impossible to cover up quietly. The lady’s attempt to contact Count Rubel couldn’t be hidden. In this circumstance, people will doubt the Count.

Doubt couldn’t be stopped, but suspicion had to be stopped.

The Butler has always smartened up and resolved his affairs. It was just the moment he left the room.

“Butler.”

The Butler bumped into a knight in the corridor. As a knight of the North, he greeted the Count’s Butler and spoke in embarrassment.

“Excuse me for disturbing you in the morning. But a lady named Lena Rubel is here.”

“Who?”

The old man’s complexion was white. However, the knight didn’t notice it.

“Milord the Count sent me a letter saying that he had been waiting all night.”

The knight handed out the ivory paper. It was a letter that was folded and nothing special.

The Butler hurriedly opened the paper. There was a green handwriting on it written by Lena Rubel.

Dear father.

Hello, father. I’m greeted first with a letter because the situation is not easy.

You were surprised when I visited you without a message yesterday. Please understand my desire to see you, father.

It was already six years ago that I met father. You may be wondering why I came quietly and suddenly without any news.

I am curious as well.

Why did my father do that to me?

So if you tell me why I will tell you too.

What am I going to do to my father and what can I do to him?2

I will see you as soon as possible.
