Queen Rushi
Chapter 100 Promise
Village
Seeing the arrival of Queen Rushi made everyone prostrate along the way to pay their respects. Hana and the others just smiled seeing that. Not long after, they arrived at the restaurant.
Licy who washes the dishes as usual, frowned as she heard the crowd from outside. When he heard Kitsune's voice, his head immediately turned. It was even clear the sound of the man's footsteps approaching him.
‘’You are here, yes?’’ ask Kitsune.
‘’What happened? A while ago it was very crowded, then now it became quiet,’’ Licy said.
‘’Your Majesty is here,’’ said Kitsune made Licy flinch.
The sound of bells from the door sounded as someone stepped in. ‘’Licy...’’
The deg!
Once again Licy flinched after hearing the voice earlier. Without asking, he already knew that the owner of the voice was none other than Queen Rushi. He closed the water and rushed straight away. ‘’Your Majesty!’’
Kitsune leads Licy until she arrives before Queen Rushi. Despite not being able to see, Licy could feel the presence of the woman. With trembling hands and feet, he put down his staff and prostrated himself and kissed the ground.
‘’Hamba salutes His Majesty,’’ said Licy moved.
A tear from Queen Rushi falls while helping the woman stand up. He hugged Licy to vent his longing.
Licy's hands even trembled just because she wanted to touch Queen Rushi. ‘’Thank God Your Highness is fine.’’
Hana also approached Licy and hugged her while crying. ‘’Licy! I miss you so much, hiks...’’.
‘’Hana, is that you? I miss you a lot too. Sorry for being selfish and asking you to keep the truth I saw,’’ Licy said.
‘’Hiks, no. I'm the one who should apologize for not being able to help you. Both of your eyes were hurt while I wasn't. We both know the truth. If I could, I would also injure both my eyes so that we bear the same punishment,’’ cried Hana.
Licy shook her head with a smile. ‘’If your eyes are also hurt then no one will be my eyes to see.’’
Hana's crying is getting worse. He promises to be Licy's eyes as atonement for his guilt.
The two maidservants immediately shook their heads quickly and told Queen Rushi not to feel that way.
Everyone will face the fruits of their actions, as Licy is currently experiencing.
Queen Rushi hugged the two women again, making Shika also embrace them. Hana and Licy spontaneously dodge, and scream because the half-deer man hugs Queen Rushi. At that moment Yagyu immediately pulled Shika roughly, so they pulled her.
Luckily, all the customers had already left making only the closest people to witness it. But, everyone was already used to the commotion except for Hana, Licy and Kujaku.
......................
They spend time talking and joking with each other. Licy understood after hearing all the stories from Queen Rushi.
‘’Pardon if servant sassy. But it was the servant himself who asked Prince Rodigero to keep it a secret. The servant did not want to be the reason His Majesty and Prince Rodigero were silent to each other. If it wasn't for Prince Rodigero helping and bringing servants here, I wouldn't have met His Majesty. So don't be mad at Prince Rodigero,’’ Licy said.
‘’I also saw Prince Rodigero always staring at His Majesty from afar. Looks like he really wants to get better with His Majesty,’’ Hana said.
‘’Hamba also never got Prince Rodigero is staring at us at a glance,’’ Kitsune said.
Without you guys telling me, I actually saw that guy from afar. A few days ago, I walked up to him without realizing that we were silent to each other. Me and Raion are better, why not him? Yes, I will come to him tomorrow morning, Queen Rushi said in her heart.
‘’Oh yes Licy, me and others will be on holiday, you should come with us, yes?’’ bring Queen Rushi.
‘’Please excuse Your Majesty. Despite wanting to leave, I cannot because I am still afraid of meeting Mr. Siruverash and Princess Rukaia. After all, if the servant leaves, there is nothing a blind person like me can do,’’ said Licy.
‘’But Licy?’’
‘’Once again I apologize Your Majesty,’’ said Licy.
Queen Rushi let out a long breath. ‘’Good. But, if we come back, you must come with me to the palace. I promise, my uncle and step-sister will not touch you.’’
Despite the hesitation, Licy nodded slowly making Queen Rushi and the others smile.
