Nostalgia || Ergi. C

————————

Oh no.

It was obvious that Ergi will attend the New Year's Celebration.

He was the royal in Bluevohan after all.

Shit.

————————

————————

Y/n groaned in pain for the rest of the day,
Thinking about what she should say when y/n reunites Ergi soon.

Things weren't so different the next day either.

"Nughnennughh..."
You groaned, again, during your breakfast.

"...uh... your highness, is everything alright?"
Alice carefully asked.

"..."

"...Alice, do you know how many people were invited in the celebration?"
Y/n carefully asked Alice.

"Uhm... no ma'am. I cannot have have access to the invitation list."
She replied, wondering about why y/n asked her that.

"Ughnuuueeegggggh... never mind then."
Y/n turned her head to the other side.

Alice stood in confusion.

————————

The groaning went on for the rest of the day, weeks, and month.

It was few days before y/n leaves to Eastern Empire for the New Year's celebration.

"..."
The Empress's head was resting on her right hand.

She was stuck in her office, like none other day.

Y/n thought about her carefree, cheerful, breezy teen days.
Yes, she was much immature, dumb, slow-witted, but y/n did missed those days.

Especially when she was in Bluevohan, with her good friend, good food,
Good sleeping, and other good stuff.

Oh, y/n was also having trouble sleeping these days and getting serious headaches
For some reason.

The doctor said that y/n was having too much stress, not giving time for herself.

At first, all the maids and butlers were worried that she was going to pass away from
Stress just like her father, but they knew how tough y/n was.

"Ah... my headaches again."
She palmed her head, and quickly took out an medicine from one of her drawer.

Y/n took one medicine, and gulped it with a water that was beside her.

She rested her head on her hand again, and thought about what her doctor said to her again.

Too much stress...

But there was no time for y/n to take a rest.
Christmas season was coming to Northern Empire, which meant more work for the government, and y/n.

Christmas took a big space in Northern Empire.

Not just because the Empire was at the far North, also because pastry and pretty decorations were all created in Northern Empire, meaning every kingdom will order their decorations from Northern Empire = huge delivery service.

Y/n acted like she remained calm, because she must be a role model to everyone,
But yes, every human is afraid of death.

It wasn't like y/n was not a human.

Really, y/n was more afraid to die like her father.

No one really knew this, but after the doctor's appointment,
She cried herself to sleep.

Y/n was getting extra stress, that was for sure, with all the Ergi stuff.

She was never afraid of anything, except for her past.
Y/n would do anything to avoid her past.

Ergi was y/n's past itself.

And honestly, she didn't really wanted to take to Empress- Emperor's place.
All y/n wished was to get back her friendship 'that day'.

"You know what? It's all pointless. All pointless."
She mumbled to herself.

Y/n was a tough person.

If there's no way to avoid her fear,
She was going to face it.

That was y/n's last thought, and she drifted to sleep.

————————

"Woohoo!"

"Yeahhh!"

The cheers of citizens in Northern Empire was all over the place.

It was the big day of y/n, their empress's dangerous journey to the Eastern Empire.

"Please be safe!"
Y/n heard some citizen yelling that, and she thought to her,

I hope.
