CHAPTER 274 – THE QUEEN’S SCHEME
At night in my bedroom . Rica was looking up to the ceiling wearing just a single piece of silk clothing .
Even within the darkness, her eyes looked clear and sparkling .
Those eyes of hers made me interested a bit .
?What’s the matter, are you thinking of something??
?I was remembering the past?
?The past??
?Before I met Kakeru?
Rica suddenly smiled .
I remembered different eyes .
Rica’s eyes when we just met, her eyes that looked lifeless when she was being controlled like a puppet by the eunuchs .
?Why so suddenly??
?I can’t remember it?
?Un??
?You know, right now . I have so many things to think of every day . I feel like it’s even too much . But I would suddenly think, what was I thinking back then?
?Hmm?
?And then, I realized I couldn’t remember anything . Although I can remember what happened back then, I can’t remember what I was thinking at all?
?Would you want to remember it??
I got on top of Rica who was lying on her back, looking into her eyes .
If, if Rica wants to remember, then……
?……fufu?
She stared straight back to my eyes and gently smiled .
?What’s funny??
?Kakeru is always like that . If I answered yes here, you would probably do that for me . No matter how difficult it would be, no matter what obstacles are waiting for you?
?Of course?
Rica is a good woman, my woman .
If Rica wishes so, then I’ll grant it whatever it is .
?Fufu?
?What’s up with you, really?
?That was probably why, it turned out like this?
?Un??
?Kakeru is only doing what he wants . You would find good women and make love with them . You would love them because they would become good women and continuously love good women as they improve?
?Well yeah?
?That Kakeru, makes the women around him captivated wilfully . It is not because Kakeru is cool, nor because he would do something for us . That way of living makes us captivated?
?Is it such a big deal??
?Being captivated, it brings us joy?
?Hmm?
?It even makes us want to help you?
?The noble title……no, about Melissa huh?
Rica’s smile deepened .
Rica’s an intelligent woman . She probably knows that the reason I’m helping Caroline in the first place is for Melissa .
The Solon Church’s pope is about to die and there are movements to support the next pope . Naturally, as a queen, Rica would’ve known it .
And she probably somewhat knows that Melissa is refusing to be the pope .
It is easy for Rica to imagine that I would do something for Melissa, so she probably lent a hand somewhere .
?I’ll tell Kakeru one thing?
?What is it??
?There is a person in Calamba named Sybil Crass . At her own expense, she would open schools in small villages, and she herself is teaching lessons in there?
?He??
?But that person is currently in a tight spot . As a result of using her own wealth to do that, she is living an impoverished life enough to make herself fall into malnutrition . On top of that, she being harassed by some people that think that education is only for nobles . After saying this much, you should know what to do?
Rica smiled at me .
?It’s the best person to show God’s mercy huh?
I also grinned and raised the corner of my mouth, smiling back at her .
?That sounds something like if she were someone from the church, after she dies from deprivation, she would be a saint in the stories?
?Yes?
?If I use Caroline to help her, then her reputation will rise?
Rica silently smiled .
That’s why it makes you want to help .
Within the silence, I felt like I was told the same line from earlier .
?Thank you?
I kissed Rica then got out of the bed, started to wear my clothes .
?You’re going already??
?Yeah, I heard something good, so I’ll be acting quickly?
I wore my clothes, took Eleanor, and took out my Warp Feather .
After giving Rica one last kiss, I warped to Ainon to make use of the information I got .
?
Rica, left in the room alone after Kakeru left .
Enveloped by the remaining warmth and scent by her most beloved, she fell once again to the bed .
Laying on her back, she looked up at the ceiling .
Her eyes that shone even within the darkness was filled by loving kindness that did not show earlier .
?It makes us want to help you?
Rica repeated the same words .
Sybil Crass .
A person who thinks of the kingdom a hundred years later . A person who is burning with the ideal that the commoners must be given to commoners .
And a person who, for that ideal, would be willing to sacrifice her own self .
That kind of……woman . A woman that Kakeru would like .
Rica Calamba .
She is known as a queen who possesses a harem, and as such, called the Master of the Rose Garden .
Within Rica’s consciousness, the Rose Garden does not only exist within her palace, but extends throughout the lands of the Calamba Kingdom .
Rica who completely believes that being captivated by Kakeru is happiness schemed for Sybil and Kakeru’s encounter .
?I should prepare some more?
By adding intricate details, she was thinking of accelerating Caroline and Kakeru’s relationship .
