41 – Childhood Friend Hero’s Despair (6)

Hero, Chloe.

She has hardly ever felt the feeling of ‘anxiety’ in her life.

She was born as a descendant of a warrior and was stronger than others from the time she was born. Because she was a warrior, she was a commoner, but she was treated as a noble.

Also, after she became a hero, in battles with the demon king, she always went on a winning streak, and her relationship with her childhood friend, Xerath, wasn’t too bad.

That’s why she didn’t have anything else to worry about.

Her life has been like a riotous flower.

Defeating the demon lord and living happily with Xerath was the future planned for her.

“Absolutely not. Yes. Never… It can’t be.”

However, she couldn’t help but feel very anxious now.

After hearing that Xerath got married, Chloe couldn’t control her own body.

My heart was beating so unsteadily, and on top of that, a cold sweat broke out.

As if he had a bad imagination.

She keeps thinking that the future she planned will be destroyed.

So she couldn’t help but feel very anxious.

“In the first place, what the hell was the princess, and she expelled Xerath from the warriors’ party?”

Why the hell did this happen?

When I looked into the cause, it seemed that the princess was the problem.

Of course, the warrior’s party was a place where the warrior, Chloe, had to manage everything.

Whether or not to expel her party members is all up to her to decide.

But the princess excluded the hero and arbitrarily banished Xerath.

No matter how much she was a princess, it was unacceptable for her to interfere in the hero’s party.

She should at least take permission herself if she’s going to be expelled.

“Haa… It really shouldn’t be.”

That’s probably why the snowball rolled in and brought us to this point.

If something irreversible happened as a result of the princess expelling Xerath.

If Xerath really married another woman…

What will happen then?

Back then… Really.

Chloe Even Chloe herself couldn’t guess how she would turn out.

“No. Think positively.”

Anxiety thoughts kept coming up, but Chloe tried to calm her anxious mind as much as possible.

If you think about it, nothing has been confirmed yet.

Maybe it just spread baseless rumors. She may have simply misunderstood herself.

“Let’s go to the house where Xerath lives.”

I arrived at Alprada Kingdom, but nothing might happen.

Zerath could just farm and live alone normally.

So, Chloe decided not to make hasty evaluations.

She had no intention of being influenced by her buzz. She will only believe what she sees with her own two eyes.

“I’ll go there and see Xerath in person.”

Thought so, Chloe’s steps continued to accelerate.

Although it takes quite a while for her to get from the original empire to the kingdom of Al Prada.

Because she, her warrior, moved rather hastily, she was finally able to reach Al Prada Kingdom in half a day.

“Haa… Ok. I’m sure not.”

And after arriving like that, she was hiding, but she didn’t have time to rest.

She went straight into the realm of Al Prada.

I will see Xerath.

Now we will face the truth.

“You’ve worked hard, Lucy.”

Since she heard the prophecy from the goddess, quite a bit of time has passed.

Short if short, long if long, quite a lot of things have changed.

And the biggest change during that time is that she married Lucy.

Returning to her home, Lucy, will she be able to do well as a queen at first? She was also worried, and she showed a lot of foolishness in many ways, but now she seems to have become a full-fledged queen of a country.

“Thank you. hehehe. Today was really hard. Especially giving a speech… Maybe I couldn’t do it.”

“No. You did a good job. Judging from the side, you gave a good speech.”

“Is that so? Thank goodness.”

Well, it’s the same when you get home.

As soon as I came back, Lucy hugged me with a tired expression.

I even think that she may have become more childish than before.

After a brief chat, we continue to eat normally.

The usual peaceful day was repeating itself.

“Lucy. I think I need to visit Empire for a while. I just want to check.”

However, it was impossible to settle for peace.

Things have been going very well so far, and preparations are going well, but that doesn’t make me feel at ease.

It is a prophecy that the goddess empire will perish, and it is not long before the prophecy is fulfilled.

So, I had to make more thorough preparations, and getting information was very important for that.

The empire was about to perish, so I needed to know the reason. It won’t suddenly perish for no reason.

So I was thinking of going to the Empire for now.

I plan to see why the empire is perishing and prepare for it.

“Why the Empire?”

“There are many things to prepare for.”

Although Lucy showed a slightly worried look at my appearance.

Actually, he didn’t seem too worried.

I don’t have to say “Be careful…?”

“Two words are nagging.”

As if she couldn’t help it, she asked me to do it with a smile.

Because Lucy knows best that I won’t get hurt or anything.

“Zerath. Before you go…”

“Huh…?”

“Can you kiss me?”

“Of course not.”

However, Lucy hesitated a little before speaking.

Going to the Empire means not being able to see each other for at least two weeks, so it might be a bit lonely.

Well, it’s about kissing.

Now that we’re married, we can do anything.

“Huh…?”

Just as I was about to kiss her Lucy, as she requested, I felt a presence.

I’m sure something was staring at me? What the hell happened?

I hurriedly left the house and looked around.

However, I couldn’t find anything.

“What’s wrong, Xerath?”

“Hmm…”

Lucy followed soon after, and she looked at me with a worried expression.

She said she didn’t know why I was doing this all of a sudden.

“No, just.”

Am I the only one who felt it?

Thinking about it again, I must have felt something approaching, something staring at us, right?

To my surprise, nothing existed outside.

Is it because of the mood?

‘Over there. Can I find out where Xerath lives?’

‘Are you referring to Chancellor Xerath? Excuse me, but who are you?’

‘Ah… I am Xerath’s friend. I came to see him this time because he has business.’

From noble mtl dot com

‘Aha. You are my friend. As expected, Xerath’s friend is also very beautiful. If that’s the case, go straight to the house over there. That’s the house where Xerath lives.’

‘Thank you. It was very helpful in many ways.’

‘What?’

After Chloe arrived in Alprada Kingdom, it wasn’t too difficult to find where Xerath lived.

He was living as a chancellor in Alprada Kingdom, and he was quite popular with the residents.

So she introduced Chloe as her friend of Xerath, and so many people showed her kindness to her.

But she had something more important to her than her kindness.

I was most curious about whether Xerath had a woman.

So she immediately went to Xerath’s house. To see with your own two eyes.

“Here…”

And as a result of that confirmation, Chloe was finally able to face the truth.

“…?”

The result of stealing his house. Xerath saw a woman with whom he was talking affectionately.

She was a dignified woman with brown hair and a crown on her head.

Zeras, who was talking with that woman soon-do-soon Oh, seemed strange to see them laughing and talking together.

At a glance, it was just like a lover in love.

“Ah… No. It can’t be. Yes. I guess I just called a friend over. These days, I call a female friend over, don’t I?”

But Chloe shook her head and thought no.

It must be my own misunderstanding. There was no guarantee that they were lovers just because the two of them were alone at home, and just because they talked about Oh Sun Do-soon.

Honestly, isn’t that enough for even close friends to do? Of course, there may be a degree depending on the person, but it seemed that anyone could do that level.

It is because I think objectively.

So Chloe thought it wasn’t.

“… Huh… Key… Kiss…?”

However, I was properly shocked by what they showed afterward.

The act of looking into each other’s eyes and touching each other’s lips, isn’t that definitely a kiss?

Can’t do it unless you’re lovers… Isn’t it something you can’t do unless you love each other…?

“Ah… No. It’s common to kiss among friends these days…?”

Still, Chloe struggled to keep her composure.

What kind of world is the world these days, even if you are not a lover, you can kiss at least.

Surely… You can…

This was obviously just a common occurrence.

“It can’t be common.”

No, to be honest, I couldn’t deny it anymore, and I couldn’t think positively.

At this point, Chloe had no choice but to notice.

“Ahhh.”

She immediately ran out of her seat.

“It’s a dream… It’s a dream!!! It’s a dream!!!”

This was a nightmare.

It must be a nightmare.
