　Hasse shouts.

"I'm sorry, my former king. It's all over now, and you want to hurt your own sister for the sake of a moment's self-gratification?"

"No, no!　I don't know anything about this--"

"Why do you think His Majesty King Rumi I has waited so long to invade King's Landing?　It was because I wanted to reduce the possibility of harming the former king. He could have attacked King's Landing right away from Maust Castle and even killed you, but he didn't do it."

　I continue my long speech. I continue to look down at Hasse with scornful eyes.

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

　I can only do that because I really think Hasse is a fool.

"It's a big deal, your majesty. How is the crowning ceremony going to go?

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

　I ask Rumi.

　The answer is already there.

"It is a shock, but I would like to continue the coronation ceremony to rebuild the kingdom. You, the most senior regent, will represent me here."

"Yes, sir."

　It was the first time I had ever looked closely at the crown. The gold and silver work had hardly been exposed and had not fallen off. This is what I have been seeking for a long time.

　Holding the crown in both hands, I placed it over Rumi's slightly bowed head.

　--You finally did it. You reached it sooner than you expected. I'm glad I was there for you.

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

　I won't deny it.

　In a way, I died once there.

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

"Thank you for your service, my dear."

　Rumi had tears in his eyes, too.

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

　He must have had mixed feelings, having had to send his own brother away like this. Still, Rumi was willing to go along with this plan.

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

　To tell you the truth, I wanted to hug Rumi right here and now.

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

　It would mean more to me than a million words.

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

　But I couldn't do that. This was a public forum now. We are not here as husband and wife.

　The only thing I have to do now is to make myself king officially.

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

　But that will take some time.

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