My last letter to you_
Written by: Lemon
Dear Duke,
Is everything okay today, even without me? Five years have already passed since I sent you away, Duke.
The girl has been waiting for the Duke for five years, and she only hopes that he has not forgotten her while living in that comfortable world without her.
Today, here in 'Kiloberg,' a gentle spring rain fell, Your Majesty. The imperial flowers, drenched in the rain, were so beautiful that everyone in the palace recognized them as a beautiful sight. Everyone came out of the palace to admire the flowers. Of course, the girl was also delighted to see them.
In the garden behind the palace, a sea of yellow flowers blooms, as if welcoming the arrival of spring. It must have been about two years after the Duke left, when they began planting yellow rapeseed seeds. I wonder if the Duke would have enjoyed seeing that beautiful sight in person...
But without the Duke, Kiloberg has reached a point where things are quite different from the leisurely-looking flowers... No, more precisely, it's been happening ever since the Duke failed to return from the war. For five years, the counts' power has been slowly expanding, and soon, it seems, they'll be trying to seize control of the palace...
Although this little letter to the Duke never mentioned this topic, I believe the Duke must have sensed that there was a reason why the girl was telling him such things.
The girl doesn't like the Duke's feelings being upset. It's just that this letterA final letter to the DukeThat's why I'm writing each and every word with such a sad heart.
The Duke always told me that just because I'm a woman doesn't mean I can't rule the palace. I should confidently raise my own prestige.
But that was only possible because the Duke was by my side... Back then, no matter how much I strutted around and walked around with my shoulders back, no one dared to touch me, so I guess I was mistaken in thinking that was my power...
I naturally realized that without the Duke by my side, I was someone who could neither walk confidently nor speak easily.
Perhaps, if the Duke were to see me now, he would be extremely angry.
Duke, I've decided that once I finish this letter, I'll never think of you again. But please remember this: now that everyone else has given up on you and let you go, I'll be waiting anxiously.
-Princess of the Killoberg Empire

"Princess! Go to sleep!"
"Yeah, I just finished writing it, Shuro.(The princess's closest court lady)"
"...Did you cry today too, Your Highness?"
"No, I didn't cry today.
"It's the last one"
"...You chose well, because memories become painful if you keep holding on to them."
"...Yeah, I think it's really time to let go now."
"yes..."

"Okay... let's go to bed now,
And let's go see the spring tomorrow too.
That's no idea"It's perfect for not doing it."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The sound of the spring rain, falling pitter-patter, filled the long passage of the bright moon from east to west, like the accompaniment to a song welcoming the warm sun that would illuminate the empire the next day.
When that sweet accompaniment ends, the dark night is gone
It was morning, and the birds chirped with all their might, heralding the arrival of early spring. That day, the soft dewdrops clung to the grass in the garden, perfectly suited to conveying the unique joy of spring to all the people of the empire.
"Your Majesty, the sky is so clear today!"
"That's right... Spring Rain left a nice gift for me last night."
"Wow... don't those sparrows look like they're singing?"
"Are they just sparrows, or are those daffodils swaying beneath them?
It's like dancing to the beat."

"Oh, right! Your Majesty, what color dress should I prepare for today?"
"Um... well,
The sky is unusually clear today, so follow that blue color
"Shall I try it on?"
"Yes! Okay! I'll get ready quickly!"
After a brief moment of silence and commotion, Shuro walked into her quarters, leading several court ladies. A beautiful, splendid dress, visible slightly behind her, caught my eye. It shone with a truly heavenly blue, and each swaying lace seemed alive and breathing.
I slowly finished changing into that dress.Freyad Berlisi
He was truly like an angel descending from the sky.
"Oh my... Your Majesty..."
"...Pretty?"
"Yes, Your Majesty! It really suits you!"
"Thank you for your words, Shuro."
Go out wearing a dress that shows off your beautiful figurePleiades Verrissi's outfit would have been perfectly suited and appropriate for spring, no matter who saw it. While the princess was easily admired, she wasn't afforded the same welcome at the palace. It was a sad reality, but having endured it for five years, she was able to overcome it with ease.
She slowly inhaled and exhaled the fresh air outside, then slowly opened her closed eyes.
Ah, it's still spring today
Did I take one step, two steps, with a bright smile on my face?
Someone called her urgently and desperately. She turned around at the call, and the spring breeze blew relentlessly.
And soon she knew. What the fresh spring rain of the previous night had left behind was the meaning of this pleasant breeze on her back.
"Your Majesty!!!"
"...?"
"G... Your Majesty, now!"

"...long time no see,
"You've become more beautiful since I last saw you, Princess."
Why, the moment she saw him, her eyes filled with bright light, she couldn't hold back her tears. Perhaps it was only natural that she sat helplessly in the flower-filled garden, her tears streaming down her face without stopping.
"...Why...Why only now..."
"...I've been away for too long..."
"...I missed you... I thought I was going crazy..."
"...I'm sorry... but I missed you just as much, Belly."
"......"
"Never again... I will never leave Belly's side again..."
"I swear on my heart."
