My childhood friend the hero was genuinely angry

Chapter 47

47 – The Princess’ Despair (6)

Princess Letia couldn’t help but find the current situation so absurd.

I ordered the guards to arrest a hero who had gone mad, and now he is arresting himself instead of the hero.

If this was a novel, Letia thought that it would be criticized for being too sudden.

However, this was reality.

“Do you dare to arrest me and get away with it? Who the hell is it? The person who ordered me to be arrested.”

As Letia was tied up with ropes and dragged along, she had no choice but to continue to riot.

There was no one who could make herself do something like this to herself, who is the princess of the empire and holds all real power over her.

Letia wanted to see the face of the person who would do such a thing.

“It’s me. Letia.”

“Ah… Father?”

And the person who appeared due to Letia’s wish was a very unexpected person.

The emperor of this empire and Letia’s father, Charles.

The person who appeared in her eyes was Emperor Charles.

“Father, why did you suddenly…”

Seeing the Emperor’s appearance, Letia couldn’t help but be surprised.

The person who ordered him to be arrested like this was his own father, not anyone else.

From her point of view, it didn’t make sense at all.

“Letia. Are you asking because you don’t know?”

And seeing Letia like that, Emperor Charles let out a sigh while supporting her frail body.

The emperor was supposed to leave everything to Chloe and step down from the front line because his body wasn’t very good, but it seems that he can’t.

Looking at her daughter’s face, his expression was full of annoyance as he placed his hand on his forehead.

“While I was resting, the state of the empire really didn’t make sense. Letia.”

Emperor Charles has been briefed on everything that is happening in the empire.

Letia used her authority to fill the empire’s bureaucrats with incompetent scarecrows.

And I heard about the expulsion of Xerath, the wizard of the warrior party, from the empire, and the fact that the Demon King’s army almost invaded the capital of the empire.

“What the hell did you do? Why did the empire, which had no injuries, become so sick?”

So, now he couldn’t help but be filled with disappointment as he looked at Letia.

He handed over power to his daughter at most, but the empire was on the brink of collapse not long after.

“There were… A lot of circumstances. They said there were many circumstances.”

Letia flinched a little at her father’s scolding, but she said that there was nothing she could do about it.

Actually, she was quite unfair about this situation.

“I thought I had the ability, but people who are useless than I thought, suddenly the hero went crazy, and I feel unfair.”

To be honest, I know that even Letia herself cannot say that she led the empire so well.

It was her first time ruling her country, and of course she couldn’t do it well.

But, even so, if you were to ask if this was enough to destroy the empire, that wasn’t the case again.

It was just a series of bad luck.

If I had been lucky, at least the empire wouldn’t have been ruined like this.

“… Letia. Of course, I think luck is important in governing the empire. But, you don’t have the qualities.”

The emperor, who had been quietly listening to Letia’s words, couldn’t hide his disappointment when he heard Letia’s words.

“Even with less luck, things wouldn’t have turned out this way if you hadn’t banished Xerath. That’s what you did.”

He pinpointed Letia’s fault.

Letia couldn’t get to the heart of the matter. This happened because she was the one who rejected her people just because she was a commoner.

In the hands of Letia, not anyone else.

“… I thought I was a useless man. Because of the hero…”

At those words, Letia was also a little stingy.

Actually, things might have been a lot better if Xerath hadn’t been expelled.

However, it was unavoidable.

At the emperor’s words, Letia tried to refute at least a little.

Because Chloe lied to herself.

“… Letia. I can’t entrust the empire to you.”

Even with Letia’s excuse, the emperor’s reaction was cold.

And he notified Letia as if he had made a big decision.

“You are no longer my daughter. You are no longer a citizen of the Empire. Leave the Empire immediately. Never set foot in the Empire again.”

“Ah… Father???”

Simply put, just get out of here.

“This is not it. Father…!!!”

“Don’t call me father.”

“I call my father father. So what do you call me? I am a princess. I will inherit this empire…”

“… You are no longer a princess.”

“Father!!!”

Letia desperately clung to the cold emperor’s attitude.

She’s not a princess, and she’s not a citizen of the empire. What is she like?

From the person in power of the empire, he was on the verge of becoming nothing but a commoner overnight.

That’s why Letia tried her best to win the emperor’s heart.

Since this would never have happened, she desperately hung on and fawned, thinking of her caring father.

“Go now. Originally, you would have been executed. I’ll only look at that, so disappear right in front of my eyes.”

However, there was no wavering in Emperor Charles’ determination.

Although he is Letia’s father, he was the emperor in charge of this empire.

No matter how much she thought about it, she couldn’t entrust her empire to Letia. Seeing the atrocities that Letia had already committed, he made that resolution.

He had no intention of handing over power to Letia again.

“Ha…”

The attitude of the emperor that does not change no matter how much he clings to it.

The emperor’s attitude forced Letia to go mad for a moment.

She said that now she’s not even a princess, and she can’t even live in this empire, this situation seemed like a lie.

“hahahaha… Why… Why do you hate me. Hero and father too.”

In this situation, she could only laugh.

Why did this happen? Did she do something to make herself so hated?

Did she really do something wrong? Letia thought about that.

“Really. I haven’t done anything wrong.”

And after thinking about it, her answer was that she hadn’t done anything wrong.

No matter how much she thought about it, she didn’t think she was wrong.

Letia thought she had made the right choice. She made a sensible choice, but the results were only slightly poor.

“Isn’t everyone really crazy?”

So, it would be correct to see that it is not you who are strange, but other people.

The hero, the emperor, and all must have gone mad. So it must be that you hate yourself.

It was a very simple cause and effect.

“Father, I’m sorry, but I’m the body that is loved by the goddess.”

But those facts didn’t matter at all now.

Because the goddess, not anyone else, loves Letia.

It didn’t matter if no one else loved her, as long as the goddess loved her, it didn’t matter at all.

“Goddess?”

The word “Goddess” Came out of nowhere, and the emperor was taken aback.

Is the word being loved by a goddess coming out of nowhere? He couldn’t understand at all.

He had never heard the saying that a goddess loves someone in his entire life.

If there is a person who is related to her goddess, such as her hero or saint, she will be able to receive her attention, but letia, who has no such contact, is in love with her goddess?

He didn’t understand at all, so she silently watched what Letia was trying to say.

“Yes. Goddess. You will be punished for saying such a thing?”

And then, to the emperor, Letia smiled and said.

Apparently, when the hero tried to harm her earlier, the goddess herself stopped her hero.

It was to save herself, the princess, and not anyone else.

When the princess’s life was in danger, the goddess intervened.

That, according to Letia, was proof that she was loved by her goddess.

“Hmm…?”

Of course, even if he said so, the emperor couldn’t believe it at all.

Until you see it for yourself, it’s probably not something you can easily believe.

“Wait.”
