DUE TO MISHAP, I BECAME QUEEN - Chapter 79

‘No, you can’t do that…’

However, it was profane to refuse. Amber knew she had to be punished for giving the King a love potion.

Ernest seemed to sympathize, but as King, he could not afford to be so merciful.

‘You know everything now, don’t you? Then…’

Tears overflowed and her throat was sore with emotion. Still, she took a deep breath and continued,

‘I’ll take whatever punishment…execution…’ (Zuben: Let’s end this crazy melodrama with death!)

She will pay for her crimes. She wondered how her family will fare but she was sure Matthias would take care of it.

The responsibility of not being able to manage Leticia should be taken on by Matthias. Even though she thought Amber was a terrible little sister. (Zuben: What did Leticia do outside of running her idiot’s mouth?)

‘Execution?!’ Ernest roared, ‘Don’t say such stupid things; that’s like killing me and telling me to die.’

‘You can’t have any sympathy for me!’ She said loudly raising her face, forgetting her face was tear-soaked. Her deep purple eyes widened to the limit at what she saw,

‘Wha-what are you doing?!’

Ernest was kneeling on the floor before Amber. Amber leaped off the sofa and tried to get him up. The king of the country should not bow before others.

‘Ernest-same! Please, stop this! Why are you doing something like this?

‘I’m sorry, Amber. I was the one who trapped you.’

‘Eh?’

She could not comprehend what he was saying. She was the one who trapped him, not the other way round.

Ernest looked up at her with a grave expression, Amber was puzzled.

‘The love potion was just soluble sweets. I gave them to Matthias to get them to you.’

‘Hold on, what are you saying?’

‘I wanted you. I wanted to get you into a situation you could not escape.’

What was he telling her? Amber had no idea. Even so, tears fell down her face and her heart was expectant. (Zuben: No comprendo)

Ernest looked up and stretched his hand out to wipe her tears with his thumb.

‘That night, I was not under the influence of any sort of love potion when I took you. It was what I wanted; I wanted to make you mine.’

‘But, that can’t be right.’

Yet, she would be happy if it were true. (Zuben: Of course you would)

‘Amber, please forgive my foolishness.’ He said looking into her violet eyes.

Looking into his golden eyes, she asked, ‘Why? Why would you do such a thing?’

‘Because I loved you. Only you.’ He replied as he tried to wipe the tears with his fingers, but the tears were too much, they still ran down her face.

He held her wet face in his large hands and pressed his lips against her eyebrow.

‘I love you.’ He repeated

‘You’re lying.’

‘Why would I lie? I truly love you.’

‘How come?’

‘One year ago, I saw you crying and you captured my heart.’ (Zuben: And dick, don’t forget that part)

Ernest kissed Amber’ tears. Holding her hand, he rose off the floor.

‘One year ago…’

What did that mean? It looked like there were a lot of things that she did not know. Her eyes were filled with anxiety. But her heart was filled with hope.

Ernest held Amber’ had firmly as though to relieve his anxiety, he drew her to the window. Beyond the large windows was the gazebo she had cried in not so long ago. There, Ernest drew a box from a drawer underneath in the window. He opened the lid and took out the items from inside, and arranged them on the top.

‘

Amber, do you remember these ornaments and shoes.’

The hair ornament with pale pink stones set to look like cherry blossoms, and pretty shoes of the same color. Both were dirty and broken. The moment she looked at them, something dawned on her.
