"I proposed to Luke that the country be divided up. "I suggested to Luke that the country be divided and ruled by the five great nobles.

　I agreed with Uncle Will's idea in my heart. I think that is the reason why we have the five great nobles in this country. Otherwise, they are just a group of powerful people with a lot of money.

"That's a good idea.

　Jill said with a twinkle in her eye.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, I don't see how anyone could disagree with this idea.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"But Luke's mother disagreed with it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Why is the king's mother coming out there?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jill and I were blindsided.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　How could the king's mother know anything about politics?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"She's after money."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jill said sharply.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Even if it was for money, people would stop you, wouldn't they?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"If you were the king's mother, wouldn't you be able to do whatever you wanted?　If the king liked his mother."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jill's voice was getting lower and lower.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The more she learned about the reality, the more she seemed to despise the king.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I could understand her feelings, but this was not the king's fault, but his mother's.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, I understand that he is the king of the country and he has to do his duty.

"Luke loved his mother. She loved her son very much. I don't think he liked me."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then Uncle Will laughed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It may be a terrible story, but it happens all the time.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oh, I feel ashamed of my smallness.

"So that's why you let Jicchan fall into your trap?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... set me up with a clever trick that everyone thinks is my fault. I'm banished from the palace for plotting to kill the king. Furthermore, my eyes were plucked out so that I would never look for the king again."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jill frowned at Uncle Will's words.

　Rebecca's eyes were streaming with tears. From around her, she could hear the occasional sniffling sound.

　......Was he so well-liked that no one covered for him?

Your father...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The only people who know about this are Luke's mother and her followers."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The king doesn't know?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

But it's impossible to keep something that important hidden.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"She's been meticulously planning this. It would be easy for her to disappear me without anyone knowing. And I am not the king.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Didn't you tell anyone that you were falsely accused?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I could hear my voice trembling.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"There may have been someone who could have helped me. But if I did anything to help a sinner, I would surely be killed."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"So, where are all the people who were close to Uncle Will ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Sure, the bigwigs in this country today are all incompetent."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Deportation."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We froze at Uncle Will's words. Who in the world deported who?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There was only one person that I could think of, but they couldn't have just done whatever they wanted.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Did she deport him?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jill asked me that on her behalf. I'm sure everyone here thinks so.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's what I'm talking about."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Grandpa Will said quietly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There was no longer any sadness, anger, or emotion in his eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't think that's possible."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"All those who were close to me have been banished to Laval."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... Laval Country. No wonder they're so big.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Of all places, the land of the Laval? Is the king's mother an idiot?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

How many were there?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, there are only three of them, but they're all good.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"So all the good people are gone from the country and only the incompetent king remains, and the situation in the country is getting worse and worse?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jill said, squinting. Her eyes showed anger and hatred.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The front part of the country is glamorous, but the back part is getting harder and harder to live in.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No wonder Jill is angry, having grown up in a state of poverty for so long. She would want revenge.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　......She didn't even know what she was getting herself into when she so cavalierly said that there was no point in getting revenge.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She's a saint after all. I would have helped her get revenge.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Didn't the king think anything of it when he lost you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, Luke hates me."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"But don't you have to ask him to know that?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......When I argued with Luke's mother about my proposal, Luke told me. I'm not the king, so don't act so high and mighty."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oh, the king must be a terrible motherf*cker.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Maybe he will be when he's seventeen. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Perhaps the king regrets what he said."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The King?　I don't think so."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Jill, shut up."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I said this with a light glare in Jill's direction.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I thought it was more serious than that when Uncle Will said that you and the king had seriously broken up."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I think it's serious enough."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I ignored Jill's tsk tsk tsk and kept talking.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Why don't you ask him directly what he really thinks?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Uncle Will's eyes widened at my words.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jill looked at me with her mouth slightly open. Rebecca has completely stopped crying and is looking at me blindingly.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Did I say something funny?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Uncle Will once told me that we don't have to leave the poor village. That's a lie, isn't it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Don't you want to see the world again?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I said as I slowly approached Uncle Will.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's like our positions are reversed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"If you really don't want to leave, why are you trying to bring about reform in this village?　...... I knelt before the royal majesty of Uncle Will."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I stood in front of Uncle Will and said this without ever looking away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Uncle Will looked at me with wide eyes and a broken face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His smile made my heart jump a little. Even though he is my uncle, good looks are still strong.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, you're right, I'd like to get out of here now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With that, Uncle Will patted my head as usual.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You should go home today. We'll talk tomorrow.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Uncle Will said in a gentle voice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I nodded my head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There are still many things on my mind, but that's enough for today. I would always remind Uncle Will of the bad memories.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jill and I headed for the wall.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then Jill looked at me as if she remembered something.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What happened to the king's mother?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't ...... know. I didn't even know the king's mother existed until now."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, of course."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jill never spoke again until we got home. She seemed to be thinking about something with a difficult expression on her face the whole time.
