Chapter 38 - 38-King and Queen of Omeron

Team Fujimoto arrives at the city of Omeron.

Kairo – We've arrived, let's go to the gate of the kings' castle.

They walk through the city.

Fujimoto – It seems like the city is well looked after, the kings of this city are very good.

Team Fujimoto arrives at the stairs of the main gate. Kairo knocks on the gate. A butler answers. He says his name is Sebastian and asks what they want.

Kairo – We want to speak with the kings of Omeron.

Sebastian – Why?

Kairo – They may know of someone here in the city of Omeron who knew Ros.

Sebastian – So it's about Ros, he was a good friend of the current kings of Omeron, the kings even decided to hold a day of mourning for his death.

Kairo – So could you let us speak with them?

Sebastian – Unfortunately, I could only receive you with the kings' permission.

Cassandra then furiously grabs Sebastian by the tie.

Cassandra – You're going to let us in now or I'm going to throw you away.

Kairo – Cassandra, stop!

Sebastian – (This girl's name is Cassandra.)

Guards arrive and Cassandra releases Sebastian.

Fujimoto – Let's go, Cassandra.

Cassandra – I'm going anyway, because the nobles are all the same, they only want to receive rich people.

Sebastian – Wait!

Everyone looks back.

Sebastian – So you two are Kairo and Cassandra.

Kairo – (Wow, now things are going to get bad.)

Sebastian – Why didn't you say so right away? You two don't need permission to enter the palace.

Everyone is surprised.

Sebastian – Come in.

They enter the palace. Sebastian takes them to the kings' room.

Sebastian – Mr. Grinn, Kairo and Cassandra finally came to visit us.

Grinn – Ros only told them to come visit us after he accidentally dies.

Fujimoto whispers.

Fujimoto – He has presence.

Koharu – He seems to be quite young.

Shana – He is handsome.

Max – (I'm going to get his wife.)

Cassandra then realizes.

Cassandra – You can shut the fuck up with these side issues.

Grinn – You are right.

Cassandra – Yes, because you know what I came here for.

Grinn – You are right to vent your hatred, but is venting your hatred by taking it out on your friends the best option?

Cassandra lowers her head.

Cassandra – I'm sorry guys.

They understand Cassandra's situation and forgive her calmly.

Cassandra – Thank you guys.

Cassandra sighs.

Cassandra – Mr. Grinn, could you tell me about my past.

Grinn – Even though I am friends with Ros, I don't know about her past, but my wife and also the queen of this kingdom does.

Cassandra – Can I talk to her?

Grinn – Sebastian, has the queen left again?

Sebastian – Yes, she said that there were residents who needed help with their businesses and she decided to help, and she also said that she would resolve an issue with two farmers who were fighting.

Everyone is amazed.

Cassandra – That's incredible.

Kairo – What?

Cassandra – A queen and a king who truly want to help their people.

Grinn – Thank you for the compliment, but that's thanks to the work of the entire team and especially my wife, she's always on the streets helping the population.

Sebastian – King Grinn had difficulties managing the kingdom of Omeron, but since the day this girl showed up, the city has only improved. I never thought we would find someone like her.

Cassandra – Now I'm even more excited to meet her.

One of the guards arrives and announces that the queen has re-entered the kingdom by jumping over the garden terrace.

Koharu – (Is this the behavior of a queen?)

Fujimoto – (This queen looks like she came out of an anime.)

Kairo – (This queen is crazy.)

Grinn slaps herself in the face.

Grinn – (She can't show this image to the guests.)

Cassandra is all happy.

Cassandra – She's incredible, she helps the people and doesn't care what people think of her. I'm going to look for her in the garden.

Kairo – Wait...

Kairo asked Cassandra to wait, but Cassandra happily leaves for the garden to find the queen of Omeron. Cassandra then enters the garden and sees the queen crouched down with her back turned, smelling the flowers. Cassandra feels a strange sensation.

Cassandra – (But what is this feeling like I've seen her before? Besides, I should be happy to see her, but instead I'm scared.)

Cassandra – Hello Queen of Omeron, I'm Cassandra, I'm Ros's friend, I believe you know about my past.

The Queen of Omeron then stands up and turns to face Cassandra.

Cassandra – I can't believe you're the Queen of Omeron.

Cassandra is terrified.

Cassandra – Melissa Merechal, you're the Queen of Omeron.

Melissa – Cassandra, it's been a long time, it's been five years since we last saw each other, I'm happy to see you.

Cassandra is furious, all her joy turned into fury in an instant.

Cassandra – You're happy to see that I'm a thief while you're a queen.

Melissa – It's nothing like that, I wanted to apologize.

Cassandra – hahaha!

Melissa – I'm serious.

Cassandra – Melissa Merechal apologizing to commoners is something that doesn't exist, I bet you're faking this role to fool Grinn and get the kingdom of Omeron.

Melissa – I would even say that I'm being offended, but you have reasons to say that about me.

Cassandra then looks at Melissa's pendant.

Cassandra – your obsession with me is so great that you bought a pendant just like the one my mother gave me.

Melissa starts to cry.

Cassandra – I'm leaving here, because I can't stand to see your face, much less see you pretending.

Cassandra then goes back to the main room. Cassandra then starts to cry. Kairo hugs Cassandra.

Kairo – what happened Cassandra, did the queen say something to you that shook you?

Grinn – it looks like she found out who the queen is.

Kairo – what do you mean?

Cassandra stops crying.

Cassandra – Kairo, the queen is Melissa Merechal.

Kairo is startled by what he hears.
