CHAPTER 60 (2). THANK YOU FOR CONTINUING TO HATE ME INDIFFERENTLY

"I accept that pain as a part of me. Specifically..."

Lucio, who was worried for a moment, concluded with a bitter look.

"It is being consumed by that pain. Being eaten."

"I do not think that is very good."

"It is a much better choice than groaning in pain."

Was it? Patrizia asked Lucio, thinking that she couldn't understand up to that much.

"Are you alright?"

"Is the Empress alright?"

"I am not alright."

Patrizia spoke frankly, and Lucio smiled.

"Yes. It is much better to be honest."

"Maybe I will not be okay forever."

"That is fine. Wounds and pains are normally like that. It is a memory that can never be forgotten or erased."

"You are speaking like a person who has mastered all of that."

"A kind of defense mechanism."

"… "

Patrizia changed the topic, thinking she didn't want to develop on the deep topic further.

"Are you alright, Your Majesty?"

"I told you. I am used to it."

"I do not like Your Majesty, but I am regretful for your personal misfortune."
