BXBX NOVEL Chapter 83
From the morning after Anna\'s birthday, I\'ve been working hard and helping her with her rehabilitation in my spare time.
She had been bedridden for such a long time that her body had become very weak.
At first, she could not stand up properly, but now she has recovered to the point where she can walk with support.
I don\'t know how long it will take for her to be able to wield a sword and control magic like she used to. But Anna\'s condition is improving day by day, and that makes me irresistibly happy.
Anna really wants to use the 『Sky Knight sword』 that I gave her. Of course, I\'m going to help her, but I don\'t want her to be in a situation where she has to use the sword, so I have mixed feelings about it.
However, Anna is smiling next to me like this, and she\'s still alive.
That alone makes me, no, we are happy.
Moreover, fortunately, Anna doesn\'t remember much of what happened after the magic sword was placed in her hands. It was a blessing in disguise that she didn\'t suffer a deep psychological scar from the sword\'s mental attack.
However, she is afraid of being alone in the dark. She always keeps a light nearby when she sleeps, and Elisabeth-san watches over her at her bedside until she falls asleep.
I want to be able to protect her so that she can sleep early.
Also, I explained to her the situation since Anna was kidnapped.
As expected, Anna looked very sad when she heard that the king had defended the crown prince despite a lot of evidence and that the crown prince had never admitted his guilt, also that I killed the kidnappers, and that the Est empire used that and Anna\'s refusal to marriage as an excuse to start the war, that the school had been closed because of it, and that even the students had gone off to war in a student mobilization, albeit on a volunteer basis.
As the daughter of the Duke of Ramslett and the future Queen of the Centraren Kingdom, Anna has been selfless in making it a better country to the extent that it seems excessive to me.
And it was all done out of a sense of responsibility as a noblewoman.
However, it is sad to see that what she had built up in this way has not been rewarded and that they are running towards collapse.
And she was as angry as I was at the king for not recognizing my achievements and trying to get away with only knighthood.
"If you don\'t treat people who have achieved so much properly, you don\'t deserve to be in the top position. In fact, isn\'t this the first time since the founding of the country that the whole of Bruseni is under our control?"
"If you ask me, that\'s true. There\'s been a struggle from the beginning."
"Oh, yes. But I wonder when the royal family became like that. In the first place, the founding king became king by taking the lead in fighting to protect his people and defeating their enemies. If you can\'t fight for your people, you should quit being a king."
Saying that Anna shook her head.
"Moreover, His Highness the Crown Prince didn\'t volunteer to go to war. It\'s the end of the line for the royal family."
Anna said this and looked far away. She didn\'t seem to have the same \'for the country\' will that she had before, and seemed to me to be someone else\'s problem.
I stared at her and thought something silly like, She\'s so cute.
"Hmm? What\'s wrong? Do I have something on my face?"
Anna must have noticed my gaze because she looked at me suspiciously and told me so.
"Eh? No. Anna looking far away is also cute."
"Wha! Stupid! What are you saying out of the blue!"
"Anna who turns bright red after saying that is cute, and Anna who is angry is also cute."
"H-Hey! Allen! What\'s wrong with you!"
"Well, what to say? Maybe I\'m sick."
"What! Get a doctor so-soon!"
When I saw Anna turn blue with impatience, I gave a small laugh.
"It\'s an illness of wanting to watch Anna all day."
When I said that, Anna\'s face turned red again.
"Do-Don\'t say stupid things! I was! I was worried about you!"
"I\'m sorry. But I was hundreds of times more worried about you than you are about me. That\'s why I\'m happy that you reacted in such a cute way."
When I said that, Anna huffed and turned bright red, but turned over and muttered quietly.
"……Sorry"
"It\'s okay because you came back to me properly."
"Allen…."
"I\'m not letting you go again."
"Oh geez, I\'m never leaving Allen again."
I gently hugged Anna, and she hugged me back.
I breathed in deeply as I felt Anna\'s warmth. Anna\'s nice scent filled my nose, and a warm feeling of gratitude for her return filled my heart.
Tl Note:-
And here we are at the end of my translation on this website. Sadly, I\'ve to stop here cause maintaining the website was becoming too much of a hassle for me, and decide to move on to Nocturne tls. By the time my site will terminate, up to ch-46 will be uploaded there. The upload is regular and 3ch/week. So it\'ll not take much time to reach this point. It\'ll be a nice break for me, as I\'ve told before, and I\'ll be able to complete the novel in my stock.
Anyways, Thank you very much folks for supporting and enjoying my work. I enjoyed reading everyone\'s reaction in the comment sections, and it motivated me to continue tl it wondering what everyone\'s reaction will be in the next chapter.
It was a fun journey for me, but every journey has endings that depict the beginning of a new journey. So, Sayonara min\'na, Mata ne (Good-Bye folks, Let\'s meet again).
