CHAPTER 15: the worst queen thinks of her little sister
Translated by Eunie
Edited/Proofread by Para Since he arrived at the palace, his memory and comprehension have always been scarily good. He's always been a capable child, but lately, he's become a lot more meticulous in his studies, especially the day after recovering from his cold. He was improving at a frightening pace, memorizing and learning all the fundamental knowledge a royal must know. I got worried that he might be overworking himself, so I tried to call out to him, but I was told, "Thank you for worrying about me, but it really has been a lot of fun for me to learn all these new things." He said that with a smile on his face while holding on to two thick textbooks. Recently, he's diligently going with me to the library inside the palace. At one point, I even wondered if he got traumatized when he collapsed during our race, so I tried asking him, but Stayle only smiled and said, "It's just that the things I want to learn have increased." Just like that, he has been hastily reading books regarding "*Sovereign or Monarchy/How to become a good emperor" or "*Grasping Human Nature" or anything related to those two...Even though my teacher has only told me to start reading books about "How to Become a Good Ruler." He's already started reading those kinds of books and has been focusing on them. Maybe it's because of what happened the day after he recovered from his cold...that's when his attitude seemed to have changed. Like he has become calmer, or there's this sort of presence...he's been giving off a feeling similar to the black-bellied/two-face Stayle from the game. Read only on eunietl.weebly.com Just the other day, when there were only the two of us, I asked him what he wanted to do once he becomes the next regent, and he answered with a dark smile on his face. "I'm especially looking forward to going through and having a complete check of the employees who work at the palace" --eunie: scary...he's a mini Enjou!! (reika-sama) ...Nah. The Stayle from the game never smiles unless he's in his black-belly mode or in front of Tiara. The Stayle right now is approachable, and he's got a good reputation with most of the people inside the palace. As I thought of things like that and saw Stayle earnestly read his book, I decided to focus on the same book that I was currently reading so that I wouldn't lose to Stayle. Even in my previous life, I loved reading historical stuff in games, manga, and anime; it might have influenced me now. Before I remembered my previous life, I was satisfied just memorizing things that were taught in class. But now, as the First Princess of this country, it was very fascinating and enjoyable to learn about its history. In the "KiMiHiKa" game, I used my smarts to do atrocious and crafty things to corner the main characters. The character profile also described Pryde as a perfect being, except for her bad character. Pryde's memorization and comprehension were considerably commendable, though it's not that comparable to the level of intelligence that Stayle possessed. Also, if she learns it once, then she basically won't forget it. Before I recovered my previous life's memories, my comprehension ability had been pretty high already. As expected of the last boss. Yet somehow, I still couldn't help but wonder why she had a hard time understanding the feelings of the people around her? Just remembering my black history is incredibly embarrassing. Doing things like this has been quite peaceful already, even though there are still the capture targets around. In ten years, Stayle might kill, but I'm spending my days with Stayle peacefully, just like today... "Haaaa..." I'm feeling melancholic. I thought to myself as I heaved a huge sigh. It's early in the morning, and right now, I'm being served by my maid Lotte today. "Is there something wrong, Pryde-sama? Is there something troubling you?" Lotte worriedly asked as she looked at my reflection over the mirror. "No, it's nothing like that. I'm just eager to meet my little sister and Mother today. It's just that I feel a little bit nervous about it." Read only on eunietl.weebly.com It wasn't exactly a lie. I really was excited about meeting my little sister, Tiara, and Mother. But...since I remembered memories of my previous life, I just can't be truly happy from the bottom of my heart. Tiara Royale Ivy. She is also one of the victims of Pryde's heinous deeds. Since her father died, her mother was overwhelmed with exhaustion. Pryde acted like a kind big sister in front of her, but behind the scenes, the Second Princess, whom she suddenly met as a child, was treated coldly by Pryde. Every day she was called the useless waste of the royal family by Pryde; that's why Tiara lost confidence in herself. Once she ascended the throne, Pryde immediately locked her up in a detached tower. But despite that, she never lost her kind heart and continued to live on gallantly. Since she was little, she was bullied by Pryde. That's why she calls Pryde "Pryde-sama" or "Her Majesty, the Queen." In the end, even after Pryde was convicted and hated, with her gentle heart, not once did she ever hate Pryde. And with tears in Tiara's eyes, she even told the former how much she wanted Pryde to love her and have a loving sister relationship. To be honest, when I was the player, I was like, "As expected of this angelic heroine, to even pity this villainess, last boss." But of course, just like how I didn't want to have an enslavement contract with Stayle, I have no plans on bullying Tiara. In the game, Tiara, who lost both her father and her mother, only had Stayle as her ally. However, in this world, Father and Mother are still alive. I'm sure as long as I don't do any unnecessary things, Tiara will live a normal life...is what I thought. But with the sudden changes with Stayle, I couldn't help but think if things proceed like the game's plot... Suddenly, all this guilt came crashing down on me. Read only on eunietl.weebly.com I have to at least make sure that I don't do anything unnecessary. So that I don't hurt or scar that child. "Devoted to your light**" is a game where Pryde is the most heinous and the worst villainess last boss. Devoted to the light of you**--(Eunie: I changed it once again. devoted to the light of you seems disturbing tbh. At this rate, I might as well stick with the jap. name. Kimi to Hitosuji no Hikari o=KiMiHiKa? For those who've read the manga, do you guys want me to stick with the manga ver?) In ten years, I will be convicted for my crimes. And the one who can do that is the heroine, Tiara, along with one of the capture targets, depending on the route she chooses... ...Since my little sister and the capture targets are this country's only light. EUNIE: THIS IS A SHORT CHAPTER BUT THE KANJI ARE CRAZY. *0*
