Chapter 106 – 11. Gifts.

Theodora was silent for a moment.
It was because he had heard so many unexpected words.

To marry Aran.
She never thought of that, and she thought of living alone for the rest of her life, if circumstances permitted.

“I guess it’s too sudden after all.”
“…Yes.”

He nodded her head slightly.
It’s sudden, but confusing.

“Yeah, this proposal is also difficult. But I have no choice but to do it. This is the best way to protect my children.”
“… Her Highness Her Princess Juana is also thinking of you.”
“Of course. That child is also my daughter. She can’t abandon the two of them.”

There is no need for Aran to invade first.
Illyana is also a candidate for his wife. As long as she is there, Aran will never strike Persia first.

But Juana is not like that.
If Aran’s power her seems weak at all, she will draw her sword at any moment.

What if Aran’s power is equal or stronger?
Juana will give up her invasion of her and then maybe both can live.

Cornelia was aiming for that.

“One of the most necessary buttons is your family name. But you can’t ask Terrin to marry you.”
“That, that’s a bit…”

When her mother her marries Aran, Theodora becomes her daughter her.

“Recently, he’s had a lot of girls…But he’s a nice guy, so wouldn’t it be okay? He says he has good energy.”
“…”

Theodora blushed.
Do you have good energy?
She blushed for nothing, for her inexperience her.

“I…”

Then she opened her mouth.

“I don’t deserve that … Because I could n’t protect Her Highness her.”

It seems that he took the matter quite seriously.

Even at that time, she was a knight, so even though she had power, she couldn’t protect it, and that feeling can’t be expressed.

Cornelia understood that too, so she couldn’t say it easily.

‘This guy must have had a hard time too.’

I wonder if growth has stopped.

Following her mother her, she was evaluated as a warrior overflowing with her talent her, but after that, her skills her stagnated.
It is clear that this alone is her considerable skill, but it is shabby compared to the talent she possesses.

“Besides, I stopped growing after that incident. Who can I take responsibility for being so ugly? I will live alone.”

A very rejected look.
Although she has a dignified expression and behavior on the outside, she seems to be in such a state that she is hurt inside and her self-esteem her is at rock bottom.

‘Poor guy.’

In a way, he may be the biggest victim.

“Even when flowers get wet, their scent doesn’t. You know the value you have better than anyone else. There’s nothing to be discouraged about.”

Cornelia continued, slightly avoiding her gaze at her.

“Even though you couldn’t protect her son her… You brought her son her.”
“Your majesty…”

A shy face to see for the first time.

For the first time, she, who is the ruler of her kingdom her and has the name of a tyrant, blushed.
Like a girl

“I am grateful to you.”

Crying!

At that moment, something rose from within Theodora.
Is it sadness or what.

“It must have been difficult. As much as the leisure time was difficult, it must have been difficult for you as well. You must have felt a lot of guilt.”

In the meantime, she spat out the words that had been difficult for her.

“…No more. It’s not your fault.”

Theodora bit her lip.

Acknowledging the hard-to-recognize fact, Cornelia, who spit it out, also bit her lip softly.

So we don’t talk to each other,

“Kko, that’s unsightly…Haha. Being a woman and dragging it out.”

Cornelia looked at Theodora and said teasingly.

“Isn’t His Majesty…Isn’t he also… Crying?”

The two women wept.
As if to vomit the sorrow of the past day.
As if revealing hidden things.

After crying like that, I felt a lot more comfortable.
Perhaps it was because they shared their emotions and cried together, and the awkward atmosphere between them now felt intimate.

“Well, there’s nothing to decide right now.”

Cornelia wiped the tears from her eyes.

“Terrin…After he comes…Talk about it.”
“Yes…Your Majesty…”

Vast sea.
Wherever I looked around, there was nothing but the horizon, and there was a very small boat floating around.

A person and several boxes were placed on top of it, which looked quite precarious.
It looked like it would capsize at the slightest wave.

“Ha~ Um… It’s boring. Did I really think I should have taken the liner? I came out alone for no reason.”

The woman on the boat had a languid expression on her face.

The sound of lapping waves and the warm sun beating down.
Dolphins occasionally poking their heads out or flocks of flying fish running on the surface.

That was all there was to this boring sea.
It would be more fun if sea water appeared. She didn’t even show her face her, perhaps because she was frightened.

“Nowadays sea water has no spirits.”

The woman grumbled.

“I don’t know. Let’s go to sleep.”

It’s really easygoing.
In this open sea, even taking a nap on a small boat with no other power source.
If the sailors of the world saw it, they would be astonished.

She properly arranged her place her.
It was a narrow boat, but there was enough space to lie down.

“When are you going to arrive…”

She closed her eyes,
As she meditated, she felt the wind around her.

It was a bit of a cold sea breeze, but it was only warm to her.

.
.
.

Squash!

A strong wave rose and the boat rocked.

“Yes?”
“Yes?”

When I opened my eyes, I saw a woman’s face right in front of me!

“What? Are you awake? Cheek. It doesn’t matter.”

Kwak.

A woman who finishes her work with an eerie smile.
Now that I look at it, it looks like a pirate.

“…”

When I glanced around, I saw that my body was tied tightly with ropes, and nearby, women in small boats were carrying boxes.

“As for us, it’s the dried radish pirates who are the owners of this sea! Umhaha!”

Come to think of it, I am surrounded by huge ships.
Maybe about 10 or so.

There were many improved panokseons, which were mainly seen in Goryeo, and there were even three-deck panokseons.

‘…How did you get here? Wasn’t it the coastline?’

There is no such thing as fear.
I wondered more than that.

How did a ship sail along the coast come to such a vast sea?

“Hey! Look at this! All of these boxes are Korean ginseng!!”
“What?! Korean ginseng?”

The pirates were greatly surprised.
Even a single root boasts an enormous price, but it is packed with more than 10 boxes.
This is a really great harvest.

And at the same time, it was also dangerous.

The pirates murmured wildly.

“Hey…Isn’t this dangerous? I don’t think even aristocrats would be able to pack Korean ginseng like that…”
“Are you a high-ranking aristocrat?”
“Hey, you idiots. Would a high-ranking noble walk alone with his daughter without an attendant? In this rough world?”

As he whispered, a hand landed on a pirate’s shoulder.

“Well. Wouldn’t it be like that if you’re a high-ranking aristocrat and yet you’re incredibly strong?”
“Hmm. That makes sense… Huh?”

Even as she spoke, she felt strange and turned around to see that the woman who should have been tied up was smiling.

“Oh!”
“Since you coveted other people’s things, of course you’re prepared to do the opposite, right?”

Before he could react, the bodies of the pirates gathered nearby exploded terribly.

“Ah. Your clothes are dirty.”

A look that doesn’t care even after committing a terrible thing.

She patted her clothes for a moment before loading the crates back aboard the pirate’s boat.

“Oh, should I just take them? Going alone is boring.”

Boats in sight.

The pirates were greatly surprised and were tying the strings of their bows.

“You guys know what?”

She opened her mouth to pirates.
He was so resolute in front of hundreds of troops.

“If you knock on anything in this world, it will open.”

Smart.

She knocked into the air.

Then, a huge hole was opened in the middle of the huge ship that was on a straight line.
It was a hole so large that the bow of a ship could pass through, let alone a person.

Thanks to this, a third of the hull was blown away, and the ship capsized and sank.

‘Where is this going to open!!!’

The pirates shouted inwardly, but no words came out.
I just pretended to knock, but that alone made the ship sink.

This is strength outside the standard.
No matter how much you shoot a bow, you can’t get a single scratch.

“Turn the boat, turn the boat!”
“Turn the boat!!”

Eventually, the pirate boss decided to turn the ship around.
It is a sin in itself to have anything to do with such a ridiculously powerful person.
The only answer is to run away.

But that’s when it was sent.

“Hey, where are you going? I need a boat.”

Smart.

As she tapped the air again, the two ships beside her flagship sank.

“Oh, sorry. I just tried to open the door, but it exploded.”

All pirates now trembled.

Among them, there were also pirates who jumped into the sea.
She decided it was dangerous to be on the boat.

She fired a few more.

Fear intensifies,
The surroundings were stained with blood.

She is bright nonetheless.

“I have to go to Persia. Lend me a boat, guys.”

“Your bow skills are excellent.”

Theodora’s meeting was over, so she came out.

She happened to find a warrior with great talent from a servant who was exploring Throdia, and there was a report that she brought her back to her, so she came that way.

Indeed.
The woman was outstanding.

She said that she was an archer before, so she mainly handles the bow, but she was more like a white-haired hundred.

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

No spy worries.
She had a great hatred for Throdia even from her first glance at her.

The targets she shoots also have the faces of people presumed to be Throdians attached to them, and are pierced without a doubt.

After leaving for a while, Juana called the nobleman.

“How is it? I’m not sure since I’m not a military officer.”
“He is an outstanding person. He is fully qualified as an archer, and he is the one who will grow significantly.”
“Hmm… It’s a palace… But isn’t that enough?”
“If you’re going to raise your military power, you’ll also need to develop an archery commander.”
“Um…Okay. I’ll only trust you.”

She nodded and went back to her lady.
She was slightly frozen.

“Won’t you be mine? I’ll give you anything you want.”
“I’m satisfied as long as I can kill the Throdian bitches. And…”
“And?”
“I want to find the guy I broke up with … Her sister her.”
“My younger brother… Is he from his home country?”
“Yes. I entrusted it to the knight… I don’t know if it will be okay.”
“Really? I’ll try my best.”
“Ah…Thank you!”

She bowed before Juana.

“By the way, what’s your name?”
“I…”

She hesitated slightly before opening her mouth.

“Sprout.”
