Part 5
◇
The next morning.
In the royal palace, Milaine and Roland were eating at the same table.
They both sat at the ends of a rectangular table, facing each other, but far away.
Milaine thought that this distance marked the distance between them as a couple.
For both of them, this political marriage had no love.
It seemed normal to her, but she was upset that Roland is so happy to be playing outside for a night.
That's why she always gave him snide comments.
"I heard you were drinking very late."
Roland was pale and couldn't eat, and Milaine was upset to see that he was hungover again.
She didn't like it when Roland pushed his political affairs on to her,while he was passing it on Playing.
If he was incompetent and unable to do something, she would have left him alone, but Roland is not less competent than Milaine in political affairs.
In fact, it's a bad quality because if you make him do it, he can do it.
The fact that he can do it and he won't is what made Milaine mad.
Yet today Roland spoke very little.
Usually he is supposed to return sarcasm, but today he is calm.
Despite her concern, Milaine continued talking to Roland.
"Recently the streets have become very dangerous. I am increasing the number of patrols, but his Majesty is also in danger, so he should refrain from playing ..."
Before she could finish, Milaine stood up, knocked over her chair, and headed straight for Roland. The people around her panicked and ran over to where Roland was standing.
Roland was pale, slipped from the chair and fell to the floor, unable to get up.
"Your Majesty!"
When Milaine reached Roland's side, he was still breathing.
So she immediately sent for Fred, the palace physician.
"Call Fred right away! Hurry up! Your Majesty, are you alright? Fred will be here soon.”
Roland opened his eyes as Milaine kept calling out to him. So when he grabbed Milaine's arm, he squeezed his voice out to her.
"Keep it a secret that I fell ...... so ....... if something happens ...... the brat ......"
As Roland coughed, Milaine's tears came out of her eyes.
"Your Majesty ...... Dear!"
