"How did it go?" [King Alex]
"It was lovely~" [Angelica]
"You really are my granddaughter! Hahahaha!" [King Alex]
Grandfather laughs while holding his belly.
"Is there any conflict within the family?" [Angelica]
"None that I was aware of." [King Alex]
I tried asking him on the current state of the family, because his son seems to be dangerous...
"Your son might be plotting something..." [Angelica]
"..." [King Alex]
Grandfather cupped his hands and leaned back on his chair, as he's deep in thought...
"It is hard to imagine that my son will try to take the throne from me forcefully, but... that kind of scenario is present in other countries as well..." [King Alex]
"Were you baring him from getting the throne?" [Angelica]
"No, it may be because from all these years, all of my attention was solely focused on getting Elaine back. They may have thought that, I had neglected them." [King Alex]
Now I regret telling him that...
"I'm sorry..." [Angelica]
"For what?" [King Alex]
"This may add to your stress..." [Angelica]
"Hahaha my child, I've always been stressed. Ever since I became king, there were nothing but problems. Thinking back on it, I should've just also eloped with your grandmother and try to get away with it." [King Alex]
"Heh, if you did that, then I might not have been born." [Angelica]
"True." [King Alex]
"Where is grandmother by the way?" [Angelica]
"She... has already passed away." [King Alex]
"I wish I could've met her." [Angelica]
"She will have surely been delighted to see you." [King Alex]
As he said that, I felt sadness within his voice.
"Is her resting place nearby?" [Angelica]
"If you ask Martha. She'll gladly take you there." [King Alex]
"Can it be possible to visit her now?" [Angelica]
"Yes. I'll also be going then, I have some matters to attend to." [King Alex]
When Blake and Maria finished with their stuff. I asked them to come.
The four of us rode the carriage, it took us up the hill overlooking the sea. The path to it was guarded by knights.
There, we see a dozen gravestones. The hill is filled with white flowers that was dancing with the wind.
"These are the burial grounds for the royal family." [Martha]
"So that's why we see so little graves." [Blake]
"It is such a privilege coming here. Thank you for taking us." [Maria]
"Its part of my duty, no need to thank me." [Martha]
"These flowers are beautiful." [Angelica]
"Ah, those are called migration lilies." [Martha]
"Such a beautiful name." [Maria]
"It is said that the very first king planted them on this hill, to grant safe passage for his queen." [Martha]
