A passage from the book flashed through my head.
[Silver hair that glowed faintly in the sun.]
My heart dropped suddenly as Tezevia opened her mouth soundlessly.
[A reddish-purple eye was glaring at her with great intensity]
'Scary...! No.'
I trembled as I recalled the scene that was written.
Belgoth empire is in the east of this continent. It was a country that held
wealth. In the middle of the continent is our little kingdom, Lebovny. A
country that can be trampled by the said empire. The Emperor of that great
empire was the one who took my pregnant sister and kept her in Belgoth for
ten years. Of course, he is an unlucky man and, in the end, died tragically at
the hands of his own son.
When he died, I grabbed my cell phone and cried loudly!
"It's still scary..."
Perhaps because he is now a mighty ruler of a great empire despite not
being properly described in the novel? Or maybe because I see them as real
people now.
Anyway, the emperor of Belgoth kidnapping my sister was only the prelude
to a long novel. It was also the beginning of the tragedy of the father and
mother of the protagonists, the mother being my sister.
Tragedy.
Yeah, I said it was a tragedy.
The novel 'Brisney Wants to be Happy', was a story of growth, sweet and
sometimes sexy romance. The happiness of the main characters is the most
important as it was built on the sacrifice of my generation. Basically, it's
about healing the protagonist's suffering through each other. None of the
main characters' parents had lived a smooth life. It's not that they didn't live
a smooth life...
"...Almost all of them are short-lived..."
Even if they survived, they are crippled or infected with a disease then die.
Unhappy even after death. Isn't this going a little too far?
A stifled sigh came out of my mouth. The big problem is that this is already
a year before the main characters of the novel are born. I am also the only
person who knew all the contents of the story. If it wasn't me, who would
save them?!
I made up my mind. I'll try to stop the tragedy of the novel from happening!
Plan A: Stop the invasion of Lebovny in Belgoth.
With that in mind, I started living in this world.
"Yes, it's good to have a plan."
Although to implement the plan, I needed to know when Belgoth would
invade Lebovny. It wasn't mentioned in the novel and there was no
explanation on the reason either.
Well, 'Brisney Wants to be Happy' is a story about the main character,
Brisney. Of course, the contents of the parents' generation appeared briefly
in the first volume but it was not very detailed either. All I know is that the
agreement between Lebovny and Belgoth had been broken for certain
reasons which led to Belgoth's attack on Lebovny's royal family. The only
fact I know is that Tezevia was kidnapped as a hostage.
I didn't know anything else. Why? Because it wasn't said in the novel.
No matter how hard I pulled my hair, I only remember one sentence.
'Lebovny refused to follow the agreement and the emperor of Belgoth
became angry.'
"So....What is it?...!" I dropped down in the chair. I was the reader, not the
writer!
My escort knight, Fernandez, who saw me slouching on the chair looked at
me apprehensively.
"What are you worried about, Princess? You don't look well..."
"Yes..." I looked gloomily at him.
"I'm worried about your right leg and left eye."
"What?" Fernandez made a strange face. I shook my head at him.
You don't understand. How could you understand? I know Fernandez will
get married this year and will have a son in winter. While my brother-in
law, Duke of Lebanon, will become crippled as he tries to rescue Tezevia.
This man's future was a tragedy.
Fernandez Cardi. This man is the male protagonist's father. I wish I could
tell both Fernandez and the Duke of Lebanon to stay home and even think
about going on a business trip.
I shook my head and thought again.
An agreement between Belgoth and Lebovny. What kind of treaty did
Belgoth make that they ended up kicking Lebovny's ass?
I looked at Fernandez with determined gaze
"Ferdi."
"Yes, princess."
"Have you heard any negotiations with Belgoth or something like that?"
"If it is a negotiation with the empire, perhaps the Glucaman Road
Agreement?"
"The Glucaman Road Agreement?"
'Where did I hear that name before?'
"Yes. In exchange for our country opening the Glucaman Road, the treaty
will provide us some of Azekien's mana stone by the Belgoth Empire."
"Oh!"
In the novel, the Glucaman Road Agreement was a treaty that was briefly
mentioned when the kings discussed the international situation. I
immediately stood up. I knew instantly that this was it!
Yes, in fact, a small kingdom like Lebovny can only have this kind treaty
with Belgoth? After all, the eastern and western parts of the continent are
Lebovny's only advantage and the Glucaman Road Agreement is profitable
for Lebovny. Yet we broke it first? I frowned.
The audacity of this small-sized kingdom to break the treaty. My father,
King of Lebovny, did he have a death wish or something?
Anyway, I thought about it. I clenched my fist and jumped out of my seat.
That's it! The only thing left is the broken agreement. I had to fix it.
"Princess? Where are you going? Princess?"
Fernandez hurriedly called after me as I started to run with all my might,
ignoring the pitiful call. I will apologize to Fernandez later. For now, I
should be a hidden hero that saves this kingdom.
I went straight to the oval office.
"Dad!"
"Oh, Yerenica." The king who looks a lot like me, greeted me with a smile.
"My daughter. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Father, the Glucaman Agreement!" I say in a hurry. My father opened his
eyes wide. It is quite cute when the king of a country whose small, round
face looks all surprised.
"Father, father..."
"Mm-hmm, my daughter."
"Glucaman Agreement with Belgoth..."
"Mh-hmm..." And my father avoided my eyes. Huh?
"You don't have to know my daughter."
"What?"
"My youngest daughter, you don't have to know the complicated
international situation. It will only hurt your head."
What nonsense! I managed to suppress my temper. Brisney is only three
months away from being born. In the novel, Brisney said that she was born
a few weeks earlier than her scheduled date, which is less than two months
away. The Imperial Army came before that. I am in a hurry to know so I
pulled my father's arm.
"No way, dad. Are you thinking about something strange?"
"Mh-hmm? Something strange...Yerenica."
I saw it. I saw it. A cold sweat spilling over my father's forehead. I took a
deep breath and shouted.
"DAD!"
