There was a chance the enemy forces would come back, allowing me to see some actual combat. Thus, I would be staying the night in the marquee rather than returning to town. When the nobles heard the emperor’s selfish request, they snickered as they looked at me. Of course they did; there had never been any enemy forces in the first place. But it pleased them that their emperor continued to be an ignoramus, and so it was decided we would be staying here overnight. It looked like I’d be able to achieve my objective.

After dinner, I entered the marquee they’d prepared for me. Despite its temporary nature, it was afforded all the treatment owed the emperor’s personal quarters. The nobility were unable to enter, so it was just Timona and I. And Rosaria too, for some reason, but I didn’t have the leeway to concern myself with that right now.

I was currently preoccupied with vomiting into a hole Timona had dug for me in the marquee’s corner. It was impossible for me to hold it in any longer. The reek of blood and smoke clung tightly to my person, each whiff reminding me of the scene I’d witnessed today.

“Your Majesty!” Rosaria’s voice approached a scream.

“Lower...your voice,” I said, wearily. “Or those outside might realize.”

After several moments, she replied, “Yes... Of course.”

I felt awful. Yet the nobility had dug into their meals as though it were any other day. No doubt they barely gave a thought to the humanity of those who’d died here. I knew this wasn’t something I could allow myself to grow accustomed to. Yet if I were to have this same reaction every time...

“It would be rough,” I muttered.

“Your Majesty, I shall keep watch outside the marquee,” Timona stated. “It would not do for you to be seen like this.”

“Please.”

He left, leaving me alone with Rosaria.

“Your Majesty...”

She slowly stroked my back. I was grateful for her concern. However...

“Why...did you come?”

Rosaria should have been waiting with the carriage, a short distance away. I hadn’t wanted to bring her to this place, stained with the cloying stink of blood as it was.

“Your Majesty. I am to become the empress one day.” Even now, she sounded on the verge of tears. “I...cannot ever presume to say I will truly share the burden of the responsibilities you bear. I am keenly aware that such a weight...is not so frivolously carried. Even just today, I know the presence of a woman such as I must be a nuisance.”

That really hadn’t been my thought process, though. I just hadn’t wanted her to suffer through what I had. I hadn’t wanted her to see the evil side of the world. But she was right; she’d be the empress one day. She couldn’t remain detached. I’d have to change my way of thinking.

Gently, she took my hands into hers. I realized that, at some point, my urge to vomit had faded.

“Even so, it would be unforgivable for me to ignore Your Majesty’s burden. I will not allow myself to turn a blind eye.
