Volume 3 Chapter 31 Parents' Meeting And A Letter To The Kingdom Of Elgard
Tiansa was in the time of Tiansa Elgard.
This was over 20 years ago.
Tiansa was studying abroad at the Royal Academy of the Kingdom of Bernard.
The relationship between the Kingdom of Elgard and the Kingdom of Bernard was generally good.
This was because King Weimar of Bernard, who was Zeere's father, and King Gale of Elgard, who was Tiansa's father, called each other allies and were very close.
Since they were neighboring countries, there had been some small fights in the past, but by the time Tiansa was born, both Elgard and Bernard were at peace.
Tiansa wanted to study in the Kingdom of Bernard not because someone told her to, but because she wanted to.
As the first princess of Elgard, Tiansa had always been very curious.
If she stayed in her country, she would probably have to marry someone, have kids, and live a normal life.
If that happened, it would be hard to go outside the country.
So, while she still had some freedom as a young person, she wanted to experience the culture of other countries.
She met Feldur at the Royal Academy in the Kingdom of Bernard.
Crown Prince Zeere and his friend Feldur stood out a lot at the academy.
At that time, Tiansa only knew that the two older boys were important and good-looking.
But then, after they passed each other in the hallway once, Feldur started talking to her a lot.
At first, she thought it was because she was a princess from a neighboring country.
Tiansa kept her identity a secret, but she figured King Weimar and Crown Prince Zeere probably knew, and so did Feldur, who was close to Zeere.
Since she couldn't ignore someone talking to her, she agreed to go on dates and explore the holy city together, and she started spending more time with Feldur.
Tiansa thought it was surprising that Feldur, who was popular with girls, cared about her. So she asked, "Mr. Feldur, do you care about me because I'm the princess of Elgard?"
He was very surprised and said, "Is that so...!?"
Tiansa was shocked that he didn't know.
"I'm... I don't know much about you. I just thought you were a lovely girl... I never thought about your status."
Feldur said shyly. Hearing that made Tiansa like him even more because he liked her for who she was, not her title.
"...I wanted to connect with you, convince my dad and brother to let us marry, and have a cute daughter named Lydia. But then, right after that, Famine... the witch's daughter, ate her, and I don't remember much after that."
After the events at the Great Temple, Tiansa was found with other women who had been eaten by Famine, lying in a room on the top floor of the brōtḥel Iblis.
She was rescued by people from Saintwise and Leonsroar.
They checked her health with magic and found nothing wrong, but Tiansa wanted to see Feldur and Lydia, so she left the clinic right away.
Eighteen years had passed since Tiansa was eaten by Famine.
But Feldur hadn't changed much, just looking a bit more handsome.
Little Lydia had grown up to be lovely and beautiful.
"I wish I could have watched Lydia grow up. I wanted to be with you. I wanted 2 more kids too."
Tiansa thought about wanting to spend time together as a family of 3, but Lydia wasn't at the home of the Rest priests deep in the Great Temple.
The Great Temple had been destroyed, and after the rubble was cleared away by the magic of Roxas and Ciel, the priests who were buried were rescued with the help of Lucian and the other safe priests.
Later, Rail helped fix most of the broken town.
I want to go back to how things were before. Rail said it's for Lydia, who forgave Famine.
Little Lydia has grown up, and now she has strong knights by her side.
Tiansa, who returned safely to the Rest priest family with Feldur, is sitting on the living room sofa, enjoying delicious tea and tea chiffon cake.
Both are Tiansa's favorites, and Feldur had the servants prepare them.
As Tiansa took a bite of the tea chiffon cake, the rich aroma of the tea filled her nose, and she felt teary.
Eighteen years ago, when Famine attacked, she thought it was the end, but now she's happy to be alive.
"I... I committed so many sins while you were gone. I hurt and mistreated dear Lydia."
"That's also my responsibility, Sir Fer. I didn't tell you about Macbeth's prophecy. I thought I could handle everything on my own... I didn't know who would do terrible things to Lydia. If I had talked to you or Sir Zeere back then, maybe things wouldn't have turned out this way."
"No, your judgment was right. I didn't know Lydia's power. Because I didn't know, even when my heart was under the witch's daughter's control, I couldn't uncover Lydia's secret."
"Sir Fer..."
"You are young, and I still feel young too. Zeere says he's old, but that's nonsense. Tiansa, let's make up for the time lost with you and Lydia. The time we have now will be much longer than the time we lost."
"...Yes, Sir Fer. You haven't changed, my husband. My feelings haven't changed either. I love you just as much, if not more, than I did 18 years ago."
"...Thank you, Tiansa. I'm guilty, but your words save me."
Feldur is sitting next to Tiansa. He gently pulls her closer, and even though Tiansa looks slim, she wraps her arms around his much broader back.
"There are some really nice guys around Lydia, Sir Fer. Who is Lydia's husband?"
Tiansa remembers Lydia going back to the shop she opened. She was surrounded by handsome men, but she had no idea who her fiancé or husband was.
"That's... a big problem, Tiansa...!"
Feldur, who had been speaking calmly, suddenly sounded serious.
"Originally, Lydia was engaged to Crown Prince Sir Stefan, but due to various reasons, she's no longer engaged."
"Oh..."
"Now, there's Ciel... a talented man from the Margrave Wisteria family, who is the top magician in Saintwise... and then there's Lucian... the knight captain of Leonsroar, who is popular with women because he's kind... and the Duke Girard brothers are also around."
"Oh... speaking of Duke Girard, you didn't get along very well with him, did you?"
"Duke Girard, Marx was infatuated with Zeere. It was jealousy."
"Men can be jealous too, huh?"
"Women can get jealous over friends too, right?"
"That's true."
Tiansa thinks about Feldur's explanation and imagines the faces of the men.
"I wonder who Lydia likes..."
"I don't know, but if someone wants to date Lydia, they need my permission first."
"Dads like that usually end up being disliked by their daughters. When I wanted to marry you, my father threw a fit."
Tiansa thinks that all the men seem like they would take good care of Lydia.
She couldn't see Lydia grow up, but when Lydia has children, she'll be able to watch her grandchildren grow up slowly and carefully.
"...By the way, I wonder how my situation is being explained to Elgard's brother and father."
"They'll say you died of illness... I should have contacted them when I was under the witch's daughter's control."
"That sounds tough. You must be really sad. Everyone was so nice to me... I need to let them know I'm okay and that I'm alive."
"Yeah. I have to go apologize to Elgard. I promised to protect you when I took you from Elgard."
"Then let's write a letter. I want to take Lydia to Elgard someday. It's my home country."
"That's true..."
"And I want to bring Lydia's future husband too."
"No way! We don't even know who Lydia's husband will be yet...! He should be kind, put Lydia first, be strong, have money, and never make her unhappy. Who could that be...? Who do you think would be good, Tiansa?"
When it comes to Lydia, Feldur is really serious.
Tiansa giggled in Feldur's arms.
"I don't know, but everyone seemed really nice."
"But he has to take over the Rest family, so this is important."
"...Hey, Feldur, I'm still young."
"That's true."
"I could probably have 2 more kids."
Tiansa wants about 3 kids.
She dreams of having a lovely family surrounded by cute children.
When she suggested this, Feldur clearly panicked, saying, "W-well, that's true, but...!" Tiansa found it funny to see his beautiful face flustered, so she laughed and said, "Just kidding!" while hugging her husband tightly, feeling the peace and happiness they hadn't had for 18 years.
