Don’t Concern Yourself With That Book-Chapter 7
Chapter 7
Translator: wuttisyun
“Your Highness is a really fast learner.”
Intelligence comes with mental maturity. To put it simply, I could learn quickly only because I was quick-witted. My teacher had been flustered at how fast I was able to learn math.
From then on, my teacher played close attention to me. This was because he oversaw the education of the entire Imperial Family. Basically, if one day, the rest of the Imperial Family were to hear about any criticism of his teachings, his neck would be in danger.
But the problem was that I was learning things too fast. I was a princess. Every part of my education will have to be reported to the institution of education. This means that all the high-ranking aristocrats will hear of my mathematical ability.
Weren’t there always problems in historical dramas when an Imperial Family member with no backing stood out? Same here. Because of this, my teacher was greatly troubled.
“Your Highness, perhaps…”
If he were to report my progress, his future as a teacher would be greatly affected. So, he told me that he had nothing more to teach me. It was a strange decision my teacher came to after much consideration.
“Would you like to learn with the Princes?”
My teacher, who had been teaching the 6th Prince as well as the 7th, made me join their class.
“Alright.”
I had nothing to lose so I agreed. Afterwards, I was taught with my brothers. The 6th Prince, Fleon Clache and the 7th Prince, Dane Lowell. This was why I was so close to them. At that time, my brothers had simply concluded that since I had no chance to become Emperor as well, I could join their class.
I didn’t think much of the lessons until I heard ‘that name’.
“During the Age of Conquest, the Olophes Kingdom changed its name to ‘God’s Flute’. In the Imperial language, that would be Wallonia. After the Age of Conquest, the Imperial Family changed their name to Walter.”
“Alright.”
“If you look at the map, they’re here. This is the place we know as Wallonia where King Walter I resided. They were once an enemy, but now they are one of our strongest allies. After the Kingdom of Water, Argos of course.”
As soon as I entered their class, my teacher stopped treating me like a student. The lessons taught to the Princes were very different from the ones taught to Imperial women. He must have been frustrated to find that an elementary student, who should have only known the multiplication table, could solve equations without any explanation.
Since whatever he was teaching had nothing to do with me anyway, my teacher didn’t comment on my attitude in the class and I had no intentions of blaming him for neglecting me.
“And now our history comes to the present… The current King Walter has 2 Princes and a Princess. The heir to the throne had been established for a long time. That is the first son of the Queen, Slovenian Le Walter…”
My teacher continued without stopping.
Crash—
“Your Highness?”
“… Say it again.”
“What?!”
“I said say it again!”
Who did he just say just now?
How could I describe this anxiety in words? The anxiety and embarrassment from shouting froze my body as if I had been standing on the edge of the cliff.
“The name of the first prince.”
I wanted to hear the words that were going to come out of that slowly opening mouth but at the same time, I didn’t.
“What did you say it was?”
I focused on the words that he barely got out. Please, it can’t be, right?
“Walter’s Crown Prince is Slovenian Le Walter…”
“Say it again…”
Please. Tell me it wasn’t true.
“W-walter’s Crown Prince is Slo—”
“Again!”
“Your Highness, why are you being like this?”
He had been startled by such an enthusiastic response he had never seen before in his classes. I climbed onto my desk and approached him as if I was going to eat him.
I couldn’t grab him because my hands were too small but my fierceness was enough to scare him out of his wits.
“Hey. What’s wrong with you?”
Dane’s eyes widened in surprise while Fleon stared at me as if I was crazy. But I could only see the teacher with the grey head.
“Where did you say this was?”
“Y-your Highness?”
“Answer me! Where! Is! This! Place!”
“K-kaltanias…”
I dropped my head.
… Why didn’t I notice?
“I am the Emperor of Kaltanias.”
I wonder how I managed to not notice.
“Remember me for I am the man you’re going to love form now on.”
I looked at what was in front of me but there was nothing there.
“The wall… No, the Crown Prince.”
I asked slowly as I tried to keep my trembling eyes steady.
“Is our Crown Prince’s name, Castor?”
A gasp was heard.
“Castor Dje Kaltanias?”
“Your Highness, you can’t. T-that name…! You cannot speak his name without permission!”
The reason why I could remember this line was simple. It was because it was a line from that crazy Emperor whom I had never seen before—no, I will never see.
‘I can’t believe this…”
Was I currently living the history of the romance fantasy novel where that tyrant who had shouted those famous lines resided?
The novel <The Light of Rusbella>.
It was about the love story between the man who was going to become the Saint and a wise woman. It described how love could feel beautiful, complete, full of sadness and deep even between people of different statuses.
The man had given up his position as the successor to the Saint while the woman risked her life to be with the man. But since the woman was a commoner, they were stuck and had no choice but to flee to a neighbouring country and plead with their Emperor.
The country they ran off to was where that ‘tyrant’ ruled over, Kaltanias.
“This is fun. If you can please me, I’ll give you a home and let you stay here.”
Castor was the Emperor of Kaltanias. As a tyrant, he was the one who challenged their love.
Unfortunately for the male lead, <The Light of Rusbella> was novel involving a harem for the female lead which only started when they entered Kaltanias. She easily captured the hearts of the many talents in Kaltanias, as if she had been charming them with magic. Her charms were even able to seduce the tyrant and make him fall madly in love with her.
No, it would be more accurate to say that she made him throw everything away for her.
The tyrant who had ridiculed the main couple. He was the sub-main character of the novel. And this crazy Emperor went insane when he fell in love. It was unbelievable. That wicked man who thought that he would never fall in love and made fun of those that did, in the end, had confessed his love for her.
“I’m sorry.”
However, since he was born as the sub-main character, there was no way he was going to get a happy ending.
“I’ll pretend that I never heard that.”
He was rejected by the female lead. And the problems began when his love wasn’t received. His broken heart stirred up a madness in the man who had never loved before. I wondered if the author had a disease that would kill him if he wrote a happy ending. The main couple never once had a peaceful moment in their lives and now had to suffer from the wrath of the sub-main character.
The tyrant went nuclear at the last moment. He went mad into a frenzy. He destroyed everything. Now that the crazy man had been triggered, you may be wondering how crazy he got.
Eventually, he imprisoned the female lead. The novel was going wild and no one had any idea how it was going to end. After he captured the female lead in his Palace, the male lead flew into a rage and raged war against the home. Before the start of the second half of the novel, the huge war between them exhausted the tyrant’s wealth, ruining his country.
‘Then, he lost.’
In the end, Kaltanias suffered a crushing defeat. However, he didn’t just lose, he was sent to hell. Eventually, the tyrant and all his kin died and his country disappeared from the face of the earth. After acting as a villain from the beginning, the tyrant’s country left the history books.
This novel that only spelt destruction for its sub-characters was a novel I read long long time ago.
‘This doesn’t make any sense… I am a princess here?”
Unfortunately, I had been born into the country next to the female lead’s. In the country which will be ruled by a tyrant who longed terribly for the female lead, was rejected, and eventually went insane which caused the destruction of his country, his people, his family and lastly, himself.
8 years from now, the tyrant will begin destroying and killing.
Just to get the heart of one person.
“Hey, hey, get a hold of yourself! Dane! This girl’s acting strange!”
“Ashley? Ashley? What’s wrong? What’s wrong! Ashley!”
“Is there no one outside? Rex! The Imperial physician. Get the Imperial Physician!”
That’s right. I probably reincarnated into the novel. Into the novel involving a prince I had never seen the face of. Who will become a mad tyrant and walk on the path of destruction.
‘I can’t do this.’
Everyone has imagined going into a romance novel at least once before. But that’s only if they were the main character. When they didn’t mind following the original plot and reaching the original ending.
But what about me?
