There was a rare visitor in the parlor that afternoon.

“I’m sorry to barge in on you so suddenly. Are you well?”

“Yes. You must have had a hard time lately,” Leonardo said.

The man who came to see Leonardo was Felix Nezeroa, the crown prince of the Kingdom of Lhumzia.

The Kingdom of Lhumzia was an opposing nation that Archaites currently had a truce with, but with whom they usually did not have active communication. However, Felix had been a close friend of Leonardo’s since they had studied abroad together. Although the peace negotiations between the Kingdom of Lhumzia and the Archaites Empire had not been going well due to the political situations in both countries, the two men had always been close on a personal level.

Leonardo felt sorry for Felix. His feelings must have been complicated after the execution of his fiancée, Westalia. Since he had come all the way to Archaites under such circumstances, he must have something important to talk about.

“No, the difficult part is just starting,” said Felix.

“Just starting?” Leonardo asked.

“Yes. I must now expose the crimes of the real villains who framed my fiancée,” Felix replied.

Leonardo let out a gasp at his words. “She was falsely accused?”

“Yes, Westalia committed no crimes. She was just at the mercy of the powers that be.”

Leonardo remained silent. It was a pity that Westalia had been imprisoned during her royal education, and now her life had been taken from her. If only she had lived, she would have had a bright future.

How horrid... Leonardo thought.

Moreover, Felix said that it was the former queen and her daughter who had framed Westalia. He was gathering evidence to prove Westalia’s innocence.

“You’ve changed, too, haven’t you?” Leonardo said. Felix was a man who was weak in the face of power, and had a “if you can’t beat them, join them” attitude. He had no ambition or spirit of rebellion despite how he otherwise excelled, and he was always watching the former queen’s expressions closely, lest he be reproached. It must have required quite a fair bit of determination for him to be scrambling to ease his burdens even though his fiancée had passed away.

“It’s too little too late, though,” Felix said. “When Westalia was sentenced to death, I could not appeal the false accusation. I was too selfish. I finally made up my mind when I saw her for the last time in prison. I wish I had changed sooner.”

“You love her, don’t you?” Leonardo said.

“Yes. Though she only ever saw me as a brotherly figure. It was a one-sided love.”

Leonardo was quiet as Felix talked. He said that he had fallen for Westalia without even noticing, as she had earnestly worked to make her dream of becoming queen come true, despite being confined to a detached palace. The former queen had been dealing with merchants of the Archaites Empire, despite the fact that trade was prohibited because of Lhumzia’s status as an enemy state. She’d also bought up medicinal herbs for diseases prevalent in the
