Princess In Another World: New Story
17
On a clear morning, I mean a little cloudy.
‘I can't sleep.’ Ever since I woke up last night, I couldn't sleep until this morning. Even so, all I could do was look at Iona who was sleeping so soundly. My body I can't move, probably because I'm still not fully recovered. “Haaa, this is very uncomfortable.”
A few moments after that.
Slowly Iona started to open her eyes. “You're up. Looks like your sleep is not good enough, is something bothering you?”
“A-Come.. Ari! I thought I would never see you again!!” Iona crying.
A while after that, Iona's state had already begun to calm down.
“Iona, what really happened?”
“I don't know for sure, but when Risa's sister said that she was going to pick something up, she found you lying unconscious. He checked your condition and it turns out you had a very high fever. Just then my condition also improved, I don't know why.”
“So, then why am I here?”
“Me and my sister Risa brought you here, we have tried to call the best medicine experts and also the best doctors here. But no one knows what causes the disease you are experiencing.”
“Hmm, by the way. How long have I been unconscious?”
“Almost 1 month.”
“Eh? That long?”
“So Risa and I have tried all kinds of ways to cure you, but they have not worked. Your fever does not go down at all, and the more days your fever gets worse.”.
‘Wah, it looks like I've gone through a critical period.’
“I'm so sad because I thought I'd never see you again. But, I'm so happy because now you're okay.”
“Sorry for making you anxious.”
“It's okay, the important thing is now that you're okay.”
“Ehem... “ (Risa)
“Kak Risa's.” (Lion)
Lisa was at the door and looking at us. “Iona, can you get me some cloth and some clean water. I want to try to check the situation again.”
“Good. Ari, wait I'll be right back.”
“Ya.”
Iona left and slowly Risa approached me.
“I've heard a story, about a man who loved a girl very much.”
“Huh?” Risa came and suddenly told me, it made me confused.
“The man was willing to do anything to make the girl happy, even he was willing to sacrifice himself to suffer and take many times the suffering of the girl he loved so much. Even though he knew the risks, he did it anyway. Do you think it's a very crazy story, someone who is willing to bear the burden of others.”
“Yes, I also thought it was a crazy thing.”
Then Risa sat right next to me. “I think someone like that only exists in the world of fairy tales, but I never thought I could see it for myself.”
“P-daughter Risa what did you say?”
“Taking Iona's disease, and allowing yourself to experience the pain experienced by it. Why are you so stupid as that?”
“A-what are you saying, I don't understand at all.”
“Do not pretend to be stupid. There is no way a disease can suddenly disappear without cause, and again it is very strange if a healthy person suddenly gets a severe disease at the same time.”
“I-it might just be a coincidence.”
“And again, I felt a magic energy when you touched Iona that time. Ari, why are you doing that?”
Before, I had not expected that such a thing could trigger magic energy. ‘Have it been, after all if I was convoluted he would definitely continue to haunt me with all sorts of questions.’
“Why are you silent?”
“I just can't see him suffer. I know him more than anyone, and I love him. So I can't see him in that condition. And again, you should have realized it. Correct’ Risa-Oneesama.”
“I never thought before, but after seeing it it was you. Before that, thank you for helping Iona.”
“No problem, after all this is just my selfishness.” I slowly started to get off the bed.
“There's a lot of work to be done, so..” My eyesight is starting to blur and I can't bear my body's weight.
“You are still recovering, you should rest until you have completely recovered.” Risa put me back on the bed. “You are, do you always push yourself? At least pay attention to your body condition. If anything happens to you, she will definitely be anxious.”
Hearing that, I could only take a long breath. “True also.”
“Oh yes, all military duties have been handed over to prince Lucy, if so you are not worried anymore’.”
“Once, Lucy, yes. If he was, everything would be fine. By the way Princess..”.
“Call me as you always call me, after all I'm used to that call.”
“So... If so, Risa-oneesama.”
“Ya?”
“Did the king know where I was?”
“No, uncle doesn't know it at all. After all, if he knew it he would definitely be here not me.”
“Huh? Why is it like that?”
“Yes, because you healed her daughter. Maybe uncle will say a lot of thanks and maybe he will give you a reward.”
“That sounds really troublesome.”
“Yes, it is indeed troublesome. After all, your current existence is only a few people know and again.”.
“And again?”
“You are the only person who made Iona up to this point, not only that but you have brought a lot of change to this kingdom. This kingdom used to be a kingdom that could be said to be on the verge of destruction, but you fixed everything until it could develop like this. If everyone knew it was you, you would definitely be respected by everyone.”
“Hahaha, but it will be very troublesome. I don't really like being the center of attention anyway.”
“That's why you chose to act behind the scenes.”
“Yes. At least that if in dangerous conditions.”
“Dangerous conditions? Like when you infiltrated the Victorian kingdom?”
Risa looks like she knows everything. “Ehhh, Risa-oneesama. Did Iona tell you that?”
“Yes, he has nothing to hide from me at all. She told me everything she experienced, you could say that I was the place to share the story.”
“So it turns out.”
“Then, what makes me curious, is the reason you went to the kingdom of Victoria alone. What exactly is your purpose in doing such reckless things?”
“Prevention.”
“Prevention?”
“Yes, the kingdom of Victoria is led by a fairly genius prince. In the war, he can turn things around very easily.”
“Isn't it very.”
“Making him a partner would be great, but since he had already attacked this kingdom before. A ceasefire would only bring his pride to ruin. Therefore, the foolish prince would do everything in his power to conquer this kingdom. That way, everything he'll get.”
“So, that prevention you mean, like that, yeah. If others might not be aware of it.”
“I told you, it's just a precaution. The foolish prince will definitely come back here, but not for the near future.”
“You look like you've prepared something.”
“No, I didn't prepare anything at all. At least for now.”
“I'm back, here's the clean cloth.” Just as our conversation was over Iona came back.
“Iona, thanks.”
“What are you two talking about?”
“Nothing matters. Already, we let him rest for a while. Well then, just do enough until you recover. We will come again later.” They both left.
“For now, yes.” The prevention I did would probably not last long, after all it had been almost 1 month I was unconscious and definitely the preparation had started again. “It looks like after this I will be back busy.”
