"That's so like Father. On the Omerta side, they can't show it openly because of the presence of the princess, but it's possible if we push her."

Ha, yes. It's really a Borgian idea.

Unless the Pope admits it, no king of any country can sit on the throne at will.

It was a powerful holy right that came down through a very long history.

Of course, no matter how absolute the power was, it was surprisingly unlikely that it had a great impact on the succession rights of other royal families without a proper justification in the Vatican.

For now, it was a common practice for the heir to the throne to pledge loyalty to the Pope, and for the Vatican to send greetings to attend the coronation ceremony in the sense of approval.

But if it's the current situation in Britannia.......

If the Pope declared that there could be no king mixed with the blood of a pagan, there was no shortage of justification.

It was rather unfair. There would be many people inside Britannia who'd welcome it.

No, there'd be a lot. If Omerta agrees with that, the result was already set.

Was that why they were talking earlier?

Did King Feanol ever guess what would happen?

"Do you want to be a queen, Ruby?"

There was actually someone else who wanted to hear that question.

As the wave-like confusion receded, my mind worked quickly.

If it really happened, wouldn't the ending of the original work, which I was so worried about, be a completely different world story?

Ellenia's assassination was likely to have never happened.

But what about Arien? What will happen to Arien? And should I say that this was right?

"I... I don't know, I've never imagined it. I don't know if my husband will agree with it."

"It's your husband. All you have to do is say that you want to be a queen."

Cesare muttered with a snort.

I wondered if he was serious, as his purple eyes became distorted.

I carefully chose my words, swallowing my trembling breath.

"But then.. I have no chance of going back home. Is that okay with you?"

Cesare did not answer immediately.

Instead, he just stood holding my hand and stared at me silently for a long time.

Emotions were completely gone in both eyes.

"You're right. Even if it's not Father, I'm me."

Finally, the voice answering the question was low. It sounded almost hoarse.

"So you can't be a person who is satisfied with catching fish while living on an island."

"That..."

"Do you want to be a queen, Ruby? Be honest. Are you happy here?"

Fireworks quickly erupted in his eyes. As the blue fire blazed, my hand hurt.

Aside from the sudden question, it was such a terrible situation that I was aghast.

"What's that all of a sudden?...."

"I'm asking if you'll be happy to be a queen next to him. I don't think you want to come back home anymore."
