“Your Majesty.” Lucas answered with a cough. He was surprised to see Daniel, who usually doesn’t show his feelings and thoughts, making it so obvious.

“I’ll be honest with you too. I think it’s us who are more concerned about the Queen’s safety. How can we believe His Majesty? Of course, I can understand the big picture of the country you two are drawing, but it didn’t help you with your safety.”

However, thinking that the obvious logic makes much more sense than the kindness that other the party offers, Lucas continued as if he could not lose.

“And we… we judged that His Majesty is not someone who truly loves and cares for anyone. Especially if the target is a Queen who has sufficient availability.”

“…Lucas.”

“I was just talking about the outcome of the Bureau of Investigation. Oh, I don’t know whether it’s comforting or not, but Kayden Ruth disagreed,” said Lucas.

“Who on earth agreed with such nonsense?” asked Daniel.

“….All the rest.”

“Ha.”

Daniel shook his head as if he were dumbfounded. Iveca laughed unconsciously. That’s what everyone thought of Daniel. Anriq and Ewil, even herself. He was consistently warm and gentle to Iveca, but it was her who didn’t really believe it.

But last night, Iveca saw his tears. After finishing his story, he hugged her and cried for a long time without a sound.

It might be sad that no one recognized such love and purity, but Daniel seemed more concerned that her heart might be shaken by her own justice.

“We thought that if you were genuinely concerned about her safety, you should make a request to the Bureau of Investigation first,” spoke Lucas.

“….I don’t trust the Bureau of Investigation, how can I make a request? And they said it was true that the first raid was the work of the Bureau of Investigation.”

“We didn’t trust His Majesty, so we created an opportunity to go out on our own. We think that the Bureau of Investigation staff could be attached only when a picture emerges that we rescued the Queen.”

Iveca sighed and tapped her table briefly to refresh her mood at the conversation that had suddenly become aggressive.

“I didn’t call you two to run parallel lines. I’m just trying to clear up the misunderstanding.. Have I been patient?”

The two men who were facing each other at Iveca’s cautious words waved their hands in surprise.

“We are clearing up the misunderstanding, Iveca. It’s not a fight.”

“Queen, we are just talking. It’s okay.”

Iveca smiled quietly. Everything was due to being wary of each other, and it was the result of each other’s longing to protect Iveca.

“By the way… Well…  I am actually not “Eve Jean”, anyway.”

Daniel and Lucas’ expressions hardened as she grabbed the teacup and spoke.

“I’m no longer needed by the Bureau of Investigation, and I don’t remember being with you, so why do you guys have to protect me?”

“Queen.” Lucas looked at her with a smile. “’Jean’ in ‘Eve Jean’ is my surname. At that time, it was just a surname that I gave to you without much thought. I could not give favor to anyone as a Director, but to me, the Queen was like my own daughter.”

“Oh,” Daniel leaned back disapprovingly and muttered. “You sent a daughter-like employee to the battlefield alone.”

“It was in a similar direction to the announcement of the Grand Constitution in the name of the beloved Queen.”

For the first time in his life, Lucas saw Daniel as a young man of his age. In the meantime, he always felt as if he came from a book, mysterious and flawless. However, he was strangely proud of him, who seemed to be falling apart as a human being in front of Iveca.

“For a person to cherish another… they don’t need any utility, Queen.”

Iveca blinked without realizing it. It was what Daniel said every day to herself, who kept saying no.

Holding back tears, she nodded hard.

Now she was loved for her mere existence. The stability she had never experienced in her life, and her confidence in love and happiness warmly enveloped her body. She always thought she was alone, so she thought she was shabby. But apparently, she wasn’t alone for a long time and she wasn’t aware of it.

She was valued so much by the two men who didn’t trust each other. Iveca ended up smiling brightly. The two men, who had never talked to each other properly, were saying things that were somewhat identical to one another that she couldn’t help but accept.

“Yes… Thank you, really. Both of you.”

It would have been very unfortunate if she suddenly became a Queen one day and was protected by the Bureau of Investigation just because she was Eve Jean who has lost her memory.
