A Knight Who Eternally Regresses

Chapter 391

“Make all the nobles your allies.”

That was the condition the queen laid out for Crang. She wanted him to fulfill that condition before discussing the throne. The queen said this, and Crang followed through.

“Your Majesty.”

Crang looked at the queen. She, too, looked at him.

Enkrid did not know this, but the queen had no desire for the throne. She didn’t seek power either.

What she longed for was a quiet, peaceful life.

Her dream was to see the flowers in spring, find shade under trees in summer to cool off and chat, gather fallen leaves in autumn, and drink warm tea while watching the snow fall in winter.

It would be even better if there were good people by her side during all those moments.

In a way, it might be an extravagant dream for an ordinary commoner, but she was the queen of Naurillia, so it could be called a humble one.

A queen didn’t quite fit the image of the throne. She desired something beyond power.

Nevertheless, she remained.

She didn’t shirk responsibility. She did what she could.

At one time, she had wanted to hand over power to the noble families, including Baisar, and leave.

“If you continue like this, Naurillia will break into at least three parts. Oh dear, those three parts will either merge into other countries or fall into ruin. Ah, the ones who survive might become city-states, but what then?”

These were Baisar’s words. He was the queen’s mentor. He was right.

The queen was the last bastion for the powerholders.

She couldn’t leave.

Nor did she want to hand over the throne to someone like Count Molsen.

‘The late King.’

Sometimes, on nights like these, she missed her father.

A gift had come from the late king.

“Cridianat Randios Nauril, he said that was his name.”

She saw so much of her father in him. There were many aspects of him that resembled her own.

Crang had met the queen before all this began.

Crang needed to meet the queen. He needed to know if the country of Naurillia was worth defending, worth living for.

If not, he shouldn’t have started at all.

“The late king had an abundance of love,” the queen’s first words upon meeting Crang were sincere. The late king had many women, even though he had a queen and concubines, he often went off with others.
