*Huff huff*
How long do I keep running? What happened to her? How I hope that she is alright. I want to know her name and also to know everything she knows about me.
I have been running for minutes, but I still can't reach the end of the forest, and I can already feel the fatigue. I blocked my eyes because of the rays of light that suddenly went through, but still, I didn't stop running.
When the light is in reach that can almost make me blind, I suddenly bumped into something.
I stumbled because of the sudden impact, and I immediately fell to the floor.
The impact has caused a little bump to form in my head. It seems like what I have bumped into is something that is so hard that it can cause this kind of result.
"Your highness! Finally," When I heard a familiar voice, I lit up my face, and then I suddenly got up, but I'm still holding my head because of the pain. So it is a hard thing that I have bumped into. It is the armor that the general wore. The general looks like he has not gotten sleep, and the one next to him seems to be the one who bawls earlier.
"Your highness, we apologize for the sudden happenings. We are really responsible for what happened." So it seems like he is not the one who instigated the assassination because of the sincerity that I saw in his eyes.
If he's not the one, it seems like it is the people of the country that I came from. So they really want to kill me already, to even use mysterious people who use mysterious techniques.
"You don't need to worry about anything general; it is also my fault for not realizing the situation that has resulted in this incident." I persuade him, but from his expression, it seems like he has made a great mistake.
"Your highness, where is your personal maid?" Asked by the royal guard from earlier.
"Sh… she didn't make it," I said while lowering my head so that they won't see the sadness that I have for her death.
I was dumbfounded when the general suddenly knelt in front of me.
"Your highness, please give me a punishment for what you have lost. I shouldn't have let this thing happen in the first place. If only I…" He didn't continue what he wanted to say because I held him up. I don't want anyone to kneel for me; I don't want them to feel small in front of me.
"I just want everyone to be fine and happy. I don't want this kind of treatment the most. You can abuse me, but you cannot worship me to the point of kneeling in front of me."
I really don't want it. I don't want to go to a position so high that you can't be with anyone just because they can't reach you. Just like how my father looks down on everyone below his seat, his arrogance has a great effect on me.
There, I promise I won't become like him, a person who has it all, but at the same time, he doesn't.
