I Was Supposed To Be A Queen, But I Was Accused Of Being A Fake Saint, So I Fled And Was Doted On By

Chapter - 27 || The Crown Princess Of The Zomer Empire

In the Kingdom of Turku, the disasters continued as usual.

Droughts, heavy rains, crop failures, and all sorts of bad reports came to the king.

Every day, Alexander's mind was overwhelmed.

There were whispers among the people and nobles that Elvira was a saint after all.

When Natalia heard this, she sulked and didn't offer her prayers any more.

Such a vicious cycle had been set in motion.

In the end, there was even talk that the saint certification should be redone.

I had ordered that anyone who starts such a rumor be detained immediately, but even from the knightly order, which was the most important thing, there were voices about Elvira.

"Oh, my God! Oh my God!"

Again today, Jacek rushed to Alexander's side in a panic.

'I'm sick of this,' Alexander thought.

His spirit no longer moved him.

"What's the matter, Jacek?"

The young minister took a moment to catch his breath and announced in an unusually serious voice,

"I have located Master Elvira at..."

This surprised Alexander.

"What? Where is she?"

"She isn't in the country."

"Is she still in the Duchy of Kien? With her moth—"

"The Zomer Empire!"

Uncharacteristically, Jacek interrupted Alexander.

"Zomer?"

Alexander remembered Rudolf.

After all, the misguided crown prince was involved, wasn't he?

"Bring her back."

Alexander said briefly.

But Jacek froze and did not move.

"What's wrong? Send someone to the Zomer Empire right away and bring her back."

Alexander released a sigh.

—I can handle this.

Maybe the work will be delayed.

Probably because of the disasters.

The power of the saint was decided to be a lie, the people should calm down.

Alexander remembered Elvira's intelligent eyes.

Those cold eyes that always seemed to look down on people.

But even Elvira, as expected, would have had a hard time breaking off the engagement.

If she apologizes honestly, then she and Natalia can work together.

If Elvira was obsessed with the position of saint, she would agree to it.

Should I make her a side queen after all, so that she won't escape again?

If I keep asking, she'll eventually accept.

Elvira has a soft spot for me.

She seems cold, but she is very compassionate.

We've known each other for a long time. I know that much.

If that happens—

"I can't."

Alexander, who was pleasantly running through his thoughts, was interrupted by Jacek's strained voice.

"What?"

Alexander raised an eyebrow. Jacek said fearfully,

"You can't bring her back."

"What about the crown prince? Then—"

"Your Majesty, we didn't find Elvira out because of our checking."

"Then how did you know?"

Jacek continued, sounding uncomfortable,

"We've been approached by them."

"Approached?"

"They want to visit us formally. In our current state, we cannot refuse."

"What do you mean? What is Elvira doing there?"

Would she be visiting as a assistant or an ambassador?

That was what Alexander was thinking.

"The Crown Princess and Crown Prince would like to attend the wedding of Your Majesty, Alexander and Lady Natalia."

"And how is this related to Elvira?"

"Your Majesty,"

Jacek's voice held a bit of sympathy.

"Lady Elvira has been named Crown Princess of the Zomer Empire."

"Crown Princess...?"

"Yes. Therefore, she is no longer a member of the Kingdom of Turku. It is impossible to bring her here by force.

If she is injured during this visit, it will result in an immediate war."

Alexander thought for a moment and then laughed,

"No, Jacek, it cannot be. The Crown Princess? Elvira? No way, you must have the wrong person."

Jacek said in a voice that sounded like he was about to cry,

"No, that's what I thought, and I've checked several times, but I'm pretty sure it's Lady Elvira Von Lustro.

She's also the saint and crown princess of the Zomer Empire!"

Gatan!

Alexander stood up, making a loud noise.

"That is impossible!"

"Your Majesty..."

"Bring Elvira here now! Elvira is the saint of the Kingdom of Turku! She should be here! Don't you agree?"

"No, Your Majesty."

"What?"

"The saint of the Kingdom of Turku is... Lady Natalia! Your Majesty and the Temple have decreed it."

Gashan!

An ink bottle was thrown at Jacek.

"...Shut up."

That was all Alexander said, and then he left the office with rough footsteps.

Ink was dripping from Jacek's forehead as he was left behind.

He was not injured, but he looked terrible.

"Huh..."

Jacek sat up, leaning against the wall in a slow, sliding manner.

The ink splattered across the room, creating a blotch that would not go away.
