Chapter 274


CHAPTER 274 – THE QUEEN’S SCHEME



At night in my bedroom . Rica was looking up to the ceiling wearing just a single piece of silk clothing .


Even within the darkness, her eyes looked clear and sparkling .


Those eyes of hers made me interested a bit .


「What’s the matter, are you thinking of something?」


「I was remembering the past」


「The past?」


「Before I met Kakeru」


Rica suddenly smiled .


I remembered different eyes .


Rica’s eyes when we just met, her eyes that looked lifeless when she was being controlled like a puppet by the eunuchs .


「Why so suddenly?」


「I can’t remember it」


「Un?」


「You know, right now . I have so many things to think of every day . I feel like it’s even too much . But I would suddenly think, what was I thinking back then」


「Hmm」


「And then, I realized I couldn’t remember anything . Although I can remember what happened back then, I can’t remember what I was thinking at all」


「Would you want to remember it?」


I got on top of Rica who was lying on her back, looking into her eyes .


If, if Rica wants to remember, then……


「……fufu」


She stared straight back to my eyes and gently smiled .


「What’s funny?」


「Kakeru is always like that . If I answered yes here, you would probably do that for me . No matter how difficult it would be, no matter what obstacles are waiting for you」


「Of course」


Rica is a good woman, my woman .


If Rica wishes so, then I’ll grant it whatever it is .


「Fufu」


「What’s up with you, really」


「That was probably why, it turned out like this」


「Un?」


「Kakeru is only doing what he wants . You would find good women and make love with them . You would love them because they would become good women and continuously love good women as they improve」


「Well yeah」


「That Kakeru, makes the women around him captivated wilfully . It is not because Kakeru is cool, nor because he would do something for us . That way of living makes us captivated」


「Is it such a big deal?」


「Being captivated, it brings us joy」


「Hmm」


「It even makes us want to help you」


「The noble title……no, about Melissa huh」


Rica’s smile deepened .


Rica’s an intelligent woman . She probably knows that the reason I’m helping Caroline in the first place is for Melissa .


The Solon Church’s pope is about to die and there are movements to support the next pope . Naturally, as a queen, Rica would’ve known it .


And she probably somewhat knows that Melissa is refusing to be the pope .


It is easy for Rica to imagine that I would do something for Melissa, so she probably lent a hand somewhere .


「I’ll tell Kakeru one thing」


「What is it?」


「There is a person in Calamba named Sybil Crass . At her own expense, she would open schools in small villages, and she herself is teaching lessons in there」


「He〜」


「But that person is currently in a tight spot . As a result of using her own wealth to do that, she is living an impoverished life enough to make herself fall into malnutrition . On top of that, she being harassed by some people that think that education is only for nobles . After saying this much, you should know what to do」


Rica smiled at me .


「It’s the best person to show God’s mercy huh」


I also grinned and raised the corner of my mouth, smiling back at her .


「That sounds something like if she were someone from the church, after she dies from deprivation, she would be a saint in the stories」


「Yes」


「If I use Caroline to help her, then her reputation will rise」


Rica silently smiled .


That’s why it makes you want to help .


Within the silence, I felt like I was told the same line from earlier .


「Thank you」


I kissed Rica then got out of the bed, started to wear my clothes .


「You’re going already?」


「Yeah, I heard something good, so I’ll be acting quickly」


I wore my clothes, took Eleanor, and took out my Warp Feather .


After giving Rica one last kiss, I warped to Ainon to make use of the information I got .



Rica, left in the room alone after Kakeru left .


Enveloped by the remaining warmth and scent by her most beloved, she fell once again to the bed .


Laying on her back, she looked up at the ceiling .


Her eyes that shone even within the darkness was filled by loving kindness that did not show earlier .


「It makes us want to help you」


Rica repeated the same words .


Sybil Crass .


A person who thinks of the kingdom a hundred years later . A person who is burning with the ideal that the commoners must be given to commoners .


And a person who, for that ideal, would be willing to sacrifice her own self .


That kind of……woman . A woman that Kakeru would like .


Rica Calamba .


She is known as a queen who possesses a harem, and as such, called the Master of the Rose Garden .


Within Rica’s consciousness, the Rose Garden does not only exist within her palace, but extends throughout the lands of the Calamba Kingdom .


Rica who completely believes that being captivated by Kakeru is happiness schemed for Sybil and Kakeru’s encounter .


「I should prepare some more」


By adding intricate details, she was thinking of accelerating Caroline and Kakeru’s relationship .
