Chapter 162 - Charles' Astonishment

 

“L-Lady?” Charles called her awkwardly.

“Your Majesty, you know what? There’s something I’ve been really, really meaning to say to you. Can I speak my mind just for once?” Lexina asked.

“About what?” Charles asked.

Lexina sprang up and staggered. Charles helped her up reflectively. When he supported her back, he could smell the pungent stench of alcohol wafting from her. He slightly knitted his brow and asked, “Are you drunk, Lady Madriol?”

“Yes, I drank a little. I tried and it was not bad. Anyway!” she yelled.

Charles was startled by her glaring eyes. After wavering and standing up on her own, Lexina grabbed him by the collar and clung to him. She stared at him piercingly and murmured, “I’m glad that you trust me. When you let me participate in this mission, saying that you trusted my ability, I almost fell for you once more. But do you really see me only as one of your vassals, Your Majesty?”

“W-wait, Lady, I think you’ve had enou—”

“Yes! I am drunk! I drank a little because I was frustrated because of you! Anyway! Indeed, it is true that I am just one of your vassals! I couldn’t even sleep because I was so happy when you said that you believed that I could do it! But… but… isn’t it unfair if that continues to be all?” she gushed.

“Lady, first, let this go and—”

“Was I too subtle? I think I made it obvious enough. Was it not obvious to you, Your Majesty? Or are you ignoring it because you don’t like me? Is that really it?” Lexina cried, grabbing Charles by his collar and shaking him. “Is it a problem that I didn’t confess my feelings in your presence? But it’s… it’s you… Your Highness. How dare I do that before you? No, honestly, I didn’t have enough courage…”

Charles was confused and did not know if he should shut her down or help her. He grasped her arm to remove it from his collar first. Then, he suddenly realized that her forearm, which he could grab in his hand, was too thin. It seemed that he could hurt her if he held her in the wrong way. Inevitably, he attempted to convince the drunkard. “Lady, why don’t you calm down, first?”

“I am very calm. I’m perfectly fine,” she replied.

“I don’t think so at all,” Charles said.

“Where was I? Oh, so you don’t have any feelings for me at all, right, Your Highness? And treating me kindly was just a way to treat a vassal as a king, right?” she asked, shaking him.

“D-don’t shake me, Lady,” Charles said.

“Of course, that’s right. It’s just that I had false hope. I will give up, Your Highness. I apologize for everything,” Lexina said.

Lexina was too drunk to articulate properly. Charles could not understand half of what she murmured. He asked, “What on earth are you giving up?”

“I will find a better person than you from now on. It’s not like you are the only man in the world. I will wish you happiness, Your Highness. She was a very fine lady. So, Your Highness, the last word I want to say is…” Suddenly her face distorted. Despite the stains from crying on her face, tears welled up in her eyes. Charles stiffened upon seeing her tears, and she pushed him hard and shouted, “Don’t treat anyone kindly, you scoundrel!”

After throwing those words, she turned around and ran. To be exact, she was going to run. However, Lexina was bare-footed, and her sense of balance was lost due to the wine. After taking only three steps, she stepped on the shoe she had thrown away and slid. There was a loud sound. Charles, who had been stupefied, was startled and approached her.

“Lady Madriol, are you all right?” he asked.

There was no response. Bewildered, he lifted Lexina. As if she had passed out, her body drooped.
