Flowers of Worship

My heart was pounding. What’s going on? Who was sending me this note? My mind was complicated. I wanted to stop eating right away, get up, go to my room, and check the contents of the note, but I was afraid that it would look unnatural. So I ate slowly, walked slowly back to my room, said I wanted to be alone, and hurriedly took out the note.

Dear Crown Prince.

The handwriting was very strong and intense. I hurriedly read the line below.

It seems that this old man’s heart is going to be crushed by how many hardships must be faced in a lonely castle. Your Highness the Crown Prince, you are safe, and this is the blessing of this kingdom. Please return to the capital as soon as possible and ascend to the throne granted by your legitimacy. In order to achieve the providence that God has ordained, Shin Woosen and the other eight are working closely together.

Once you have made up your mind, please tell the maid who gave you this note. If you choose a date and time, we will pick you up at the pavilion located southeast of Hastred Castle.

Woosen, Larsfield, Rosen, Leward, Iron, Swire, Soiana, Blanette.

8-member association.

The eight nobles, the eight-member association, each had signed their own signatures. They looked serious. It felt like my heart would explode. Can I take the throne back? Can I make my uncle pay for it? All sorts of cruel thoughts flashed through my mind. An uncle who is hanged, an uncle who is burned at the stake, an uncle who is decapitated, and then again and again… . I also remembered that naughty aunt. When I thought of my aunt who had lost everything and howled as a slave, a joy erupted within me. They said that I had nothing to think about, and stopped as I grabbed the pen.

But I don’t know who these eight people are.

Is there any way to know who they are and their sincerity?

Is there such a way? Do they exist?

I’ve been thinking about it for a few days, but I can’t think sharply. At first, I was overjoyed that I was going crazy but after a few days of calming my excitement, I thought about it, and it was full of strange things. The strangest thing was this.

How was my existence known to other nobles? It was known to eight people? Does it make sense that my uncle, the king, does not know of my existence? What would he do if he knew of my existence? It is obvious how he would come out when he found out about my existence, he who ruined me under the guise of education, kidnapped me, and eventually took the throne even when my father was alive.

Would I have been able to make a wiser decision if I had been an adult like Cili? Would something good come up?

There’s no solution.

I can’t refuse this outstretched hand, but I can’t hold it. What should I do in this situation where I can neither go forward nor step back? It’s not that I didn’t even think about discussing it with Cili.

“It is a bloody road. Do not walk through it.”

Even if those eight had pure intentions as I wished for them, Cili seemed to dissuade me. So I didn’t ask Cili. If she tries to stop me, I have no power to shake her off. My current situation is that if she tries to stop me, I can’t do anything.

Wait, I can’t do anything if she tries to stop me?

For a moment, I felt a light flashing in my head. I had a feeling I might be able to take advantage of this situation, hopefully. With the plan in my mind, I closed my eyes for a moment. Can I do it? My head was pounding. I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to do well. I was afraid that Cili would notice the oddity, and I was afraid that other variables might arise.

But I cannot ignore this outstretched hand.

Because I know that beyond that, the bodies of my father and mother are staring at me without even closing their eyes. Even for the sake of the two people who died because of my mistake, I cannot back down.

Therefore, I looked out the window. Below it, I could see the place where I was taking swordsmanship lessons. Beneath the tree of patronage, I saw Cili swinging her wooden sword. She wielded a wooden sword with me, but in fact, if it wasn’t for me, she wouldn’t be able to hold a wooden sword in her hand. And it’s because she’s a holy knight.

I’m sorry, Cili.

I can’t say it out loud and apologize. Because if I apologize like this, I will regret what I’m about to do. However, I know she’s been really nice to me regardless of what her father did to me. I know she’s a good person. There’s also a sense that I’m leaning on her and doing something awful.

So, I’m really sorry.

I shut my eyes tightly.

✵✵✵

I don’t know what happened.

“What the fuck!”

It seems like there was a group of shame
