Not only envoys from other countries, but also his vassals who were invited, began to arrive for the celebration, and the palace was busy all day with servants moving about.
“Father, it’s getting late. The celebration is tomorrow and you’re still in the office. You should meet the nobles who have come a long way for tomorrow.”
“Hahaha, I have a birthday every year, but this year I just want to get through the tedious banquet as quickly as possible and spend time with you.”
“You say that knowing well that the nobility won’t be pleased.”
Arien, who had been glancing away, smiled again.
When Arien was two years old, after the tough days he’d spent losing his beloved Queen Estekelli to a rare disease, Galle 5th poured all his love into his only daughter.
Arien, who was strikingly similar to the beautiful and wise queen, was his joy and light in life.
For that reason, Galle 5th had carefully shielded her from the international intelligence network, and had kept her thoroughly separated from meetings with foreign envoys and external events.
The princess shrouded in a veil of mystery.
The suffocation she felt from being known by this other name was the reason she spent time in the royal library or smithy.
On the day of the celebration, King Galle 5th spent the whole day exchanging political greetings with the guests who had gathered at the palace for the banquet.
Despite hosting the annual event, he wondered for whom exactly was the birthday.
‘I can’t even remember how many people I met today. The banquet is more boring without Arien.’
Even though he was tired on the way back to his office late at night, he was secretly looking forward to how Arien would give him a gift in a new way this year.
Every time his birthday came around, Arien would suddenly appear from behind curtains, wardrobes, balconies, and give him a gift.
Of course, after an incident where she nearly fell while hanging from a balcony railing for a long time in her dress, he had to promise several times that she would never wait in dangerous places again.
“Today, I want to have a conversation with Arien. Everyone else may leave.”
King Galle 5th had everyone else leave, under the pretext of helping Arien’s grand entrance.
He was brimming with happiness as he entered his office, wondering whether she would appear from under the bed or from the tub this year.
“Hmm, hmm.”
As he pretended not to notice, moved towards the desk on the other side and gave a fake cough to let his beloved Arien know that he was back, he noticed that the wardrobe door was not fully closed.
The silver gleam visible through the latticed air vent of the wardrobe. It was definitely her.
‘This girl, the wardrobe this time.’
The moment he pretended not to notice and moved towards the desk on the other side, a man of unknown identity suddenly sprang out of the darkness.
And without a moment’s hesitation, he plunged a dagger into Galle 5th’s chest.
“Ugh… Who the hell are you!”
Galle 5th reached out to ring the bell on the table to call the royal guards, but he fell to the floor before he could touch it.
Arien, who had been smiling mischievously just moments ago, began to turn pale at the incredible sight unfolding before her.
All she had done was secretly hide in her father’s wardrobe, imagining how happy he would be when he received his gift.
It was as if time had stopped. Caught in the tragedy unfolding in front of her, Arien forgot to breathe.
In the time that seemed to freeze, her eyes met with her father’s.
It was just a moment, but his gaze became a sound and clearly reached her.
‘Don’t come out!’
In the frozen moment, Arien felt her own heart, turned into a cold stone statue, shatter into pieces.
The Planus Kingdom, located in the farthest south and literally meaning ‘the land where the spirits of flowers live’, had its royal bloodline passing down and developing their unique healing arts, basic medicine, and various other disciplines using dried flowers and herbs, sparking a cultural renaissance.
