Born in darkness

Margaret: - I hope I didn't bore you with my story, but you need to know this.

Then according to them, she is the former queen of Perenis.

Mizeya: - Thanks for sharing your story, but who is the princess of Ishistar now?

Margaret: - My savior told me to pretend to be the princess there, I didn't understand at first either, but then I realized why.

I looked at the woman in the mirror strangely, her story is a bit confusing, but I can roughly deduce from this that she and her daughter belonged to Perenis and that Aika is Tirinia's legitimate princess.

Mizeya: - Savior?

Margaret: - A strange boy in a hood, who only for a glance held a huge sword in his hand. For several days I just wandered in the woods, just the remaining gold coin that I used to always keep in my pocket was enough. I went from city to city for almost 9 years, I traveled almost the entire continent until I finally ended up at the border of Tirinia. I managed to allocate my remaining money, but unfortunately, almost all of it was used up over the years, I was already on the verge of starvation, I was waiting to die at the dead end of one of the buildings, but suddenly the boy appeared in front of me with his offer.

Again, this boy whom Faina called a hero and who also appeared in my dream, I owed my undeveloped dream weapon to him. What do you want from me anyway?

Mizeya: - What offer did he do to you?

Margaret: - To stay in Tirinia until the time comes.

Mizeya: - What is the time for?

Margaret: - He didn't say anything about that, except that I have to live in the mirror until then.

Mizeya: - And how could they send you to the mirror?

Margaret: - The boy was a Soul Holder, thanks to which he was able to chain my soul to the mirror along with my body.

The woman even reported that she lived with the boy for almost 1 year, in an abandoned house on the border of Tirinia, and that she often saw the boy talking to himself, she always asked him who he was talking to, but he only answered with a smile on his face that he was with a close friend who at the same time, his companion is scary.

Margaret: - So that's how I ended up here.

Mizeya: - I understand, but why did you call me instead of your daughter?

Margaret: - What do you mean instead of my daughter?

So even he herself doesn't know that her daughter belongs here in the castle, but based on the reports, she came here not long ago, and I don't even know how long her soul has been locked in the mirror, it's interesting.

Mizeya: - I was hired by the king to be Miss Aika's bodyguard.

Margaret: - Is my daughter in this castle? How could I not feel her presence?

Then suddenly an elf girl appeared from Mizeya's arms.

Mizeya: - Faina?

The woman in the mirror is surprised to see that another soul was embedded in her arms, but she was not surprised for long, since she has been through so far, it is only natural for her.

Margaret: - So you are also a Soul Holder, just like that boy, so I'm not surprised that I only felt your presence.

Mizeya: - What are you doing here Faina?

Faina: - Enough of that Mizeya, who are you talking to?

I go to the strange mirror and see that there is nothing in it, not even an orphaned soul, but who does Mizeya see?

Mizeya: - To Margaret, Princess of Peren... Ishistar.

Faina: - Finish it, boy, let's go to sleep, I had to come out because of you because I thought you were crazy.

I look at her with a pitying look, then with a small smile that I will come back.

Mizeya: - I'm sorry.

Faina: - Mizeya!

Mizeya: - Okay, let's go to sleep.

The clock is already striking, but an unknown boy in a mask appears in front of the mirror, maybe Mizeya?

Rito: - But it's been a while since I've seen you, Queen of Perenis, how's your turn going?

Margaret: - That voice, is that you?

Rito: - Yes, we are.

A beautiful elf girl with white hair appears next to the masked boy.

Abigail: - Welcome Margaret, good to see you again.

Rito: - Did you have a good talk with the boy? I hope you told him all the details.

Margaret: - I did as you ordered a long time ago, can I see my daughter now?

Rito: - Not yet, there is one last task left.

Margaret: - I will do whatever I can in my current state.

Rito: - Then marry Naofuda Marinett.

Abigail: - Rito?

Even his beautiful elf friend questions Rito's intentions, but she would do anything for him, even if it meant killing herself...

Margaret: - Here you go? Why should I go to him?

Rito: - You loved each other so much anyway. Think of Aika.

Margaret: - If I do, if I marry the king of Tirinia, will you let me go?

Rito: - But for that, you have to act first, not just say, as soon as possible. AUGHH.

"Telepathic Communication"

Abigail: - Are you alright Rito?

Rito: - I'm fine, just a little rest wouldn't hurt.

Abigail: - Leave this woman here, go rest.

Rito: - I can't.

There really isn't much left for me, but I still have to sort this out somehow, I have to, for the sake of my parents and Abigail...

Rito: - Margaret, you get one a month, until then be the Queen of Tirinia.

I have made great strides with this action, but I must see it through, even if it is not according to my will.

Rito: - AGHhgh.

He pulled his mask a little higher then the boy took out a handkerchief, which he put in his mouth and started coughing blood into it out of nowhere.

Abigail: - !?

I can't say your name, Margaret would find out who you are in this kingdom, forgive me. Abigail thought to herself.

Rito: - Then we left.

In a second, the mysterious duo was absorbed, who could be destined or glorified, either way, one thing is for sure, this is not the end of the story...
