Why Me? (Re: Zero X Male Reader)

Chapter 6

Chapter 6. Teaching and Learning

It was a good morning, birds where chirping, the wind gently breezed through the foliage, the sky was clear and blue, and the sun shone brightly. It is indeed a good morning, a good start for a good day.

That's what Emilia thought as she found herself staring at the morning sun through her window, stretching her arms and cooing.

Yesterday to put it simply, wasn't bad day. Rather, Emilia would call it good... well, good actually would be too much. Maybe it was better to call it 'not bad'.

The main reason of that is because she almost entirely spent it tied onto chair -not literally- reading the many documents and papers given to her by Roswaal. All of them contained important information a King needed to know. Economics, politics, diplomacy, all the interesting but all so dry knowledge a good King needs to have.

It was troubling... a lot... there was so much information, she had to try her hardest to stay focused to memorize it all.

More than half day spend in chair just reading and learning and reading and learning and...

And imagining that today she would be going through the same thing again...

The 'good' day seems to have degraded to 'average' just thinking of this.

Emilia: 'No, no. I can't think like that.'

Emilia thought while shaking her head.

This is her way for her to atone her sins. By becoming King she will lead her race. She will prove to the world they are not demons. That they are just like those talking and smiling in cities and villages all around the Kingdom. That they are a good race, they are just misunderstood.

No... Not just her race. She wants to bring equality to everyone. To the whole Kingdom of Lugnica. She has seen while the demihuman population is not treated badly, there is still prejudice. Many laws exist to put them at a disadvantage.

And not just for them, but also for those poor people who live in poverty. They are not treated as equal even if they are Human.

Thinking of that only made her feel worse. For a moment she was very tempted to stop. Like this isn't worth it, at all. The chance of her to succeed is actually very small, seeing she really looks like the Witch that nearly brought the world to its knees.

But still, she can't...

This is her burden... this is her responsibility... for what she has done... And to atone she will become King of Lugnica. Not just for her people, but for everyone else as well.

She was brought out from her stupor when she heard sounds from below. Looking down she noticed someone in the backyard. She blinked when she found out it was the young man who had helped her two days ago.

Emilia: 'Y/N is already awake?'

It is seven solartime, not too early, but not everyone would be up at such an hour. She was surprised to see that he was already in the yard and had begun practicing -he practiced yesterday afternoon too, he told her as much during dinner.

Then again he was also already awake yesterday when she visited him. Is he someone who tends to wake up early?

Emilia noted that the blond was currently clad in an outfit similar to his sleepwear, however rather than grey, its color was white and there was also a black belt strapped to his waist. Like yesterday, he seemed very focused in his training judging by how intensely he was swinging his wooden sword.

Emilia: 'Perhaps I should greet him. I also still need to talk with the lesser spirits.'

She thought as stepped back from the window, intending to go outside and meet her newest friend.
