The Peace In A Beautiful World
Chapter 112: Other Possibilities

"That's it, so that's why you wanted Rid to break up with Irene" said Ms. Karina.

"Yes, I don't want Rid to be targeted and killed*h just because of being in a relationship with a Duke's daughter who should be a participant at an event and I also don't want life in this academy to be disrupted. Those who want to kill Rid may be able to mess up at this academy later and endanger others" said Queen Kayana.

"But all your thoughts are not necessarily proven right?" asked Miss Karina.

"Yes you are right. It could be the reason my husband did not want to cancel ~Matchmaking Battle~ because indeed he was very sure that Rid's relationship with Irene would not last until graduation, maybe there was a fight that made them break up. But we also have to consider other possibilities. And again why did my husband insist on holding the event, the goal was to re-energize the Duke's relationship ? If ~Matchmaking Battle~ is off, shouldn't he be thinking of making another show ? It's really strange, I feel like something will happen if the event is really held" said Queen Kayana.

"Can't you cancel the show?" asked Miss Karina.

"It is not that easy, the event has been approved by my husband who is the King of this country and also all the dukes. Although Duke San Lucia seemed reluctant, but he still agreed because at first this event will be held if their daughter still does not have a partner until the event is held. So you could say this event is not mandatory, but my husband still insists on not canceling this event despite knowing that Irene currently has a partner. If I want to cancel this event with my power as Queen, at least I have to find out first and find evidence of the absurdity of this event. Just like the possibility of Rid being murdered*h, even though I guessed so from my husband's nonsensical words, but I couldn't catch my husband without clear evidence and based only on my thoughts," the Queen of Kayana.

"so yeah. This is just my thinking, most likely telling your husband that Irene is already paired is one of the dukes. Since this relates to the daughter of Duke San Lucia, let's exclude Duke San Lucia first, so it's likely that telling your husband is one of the 3 remaining dukes. The likely reason why ~Matchmaking Battle~ was not canceled is because this Duke assured your husband that the current relationship between Irene and her partner is unlikely to last long. So if someone wants to kill Rid, it seems that person is one of the three dukes. But even if it's your own husband or one of those dukes who will kill Rid, they won't intervene directly and will send someone who specializes in this. The goal is that if the bombardment is successful, the traces of their involvement will be difficult to reveal" Ms Karina said.

"Yes, you have a point. Right now I'm busy with other work, so I don't have time to explore the real purpose of the event or the possibility of killing Rid. So the only thing I can do is tell you to break up with Irene, Rid. That way, you will be free from the possibilities that I talked about earlier," said Queen Kayana while looking at me.

I fell silent after hearing the words of Her Majesty the Queen.

"So yes. Her Majesty the Queen told me to break up earlier because she actually wanted to protect me. The reason he showed the pressure of his aura earlier was to intimidate me so that I felt intimidated and quickly broke up with Irene. Earlier senior Nadine also told me to be wary of the possibility of anyone wanting to target me. And now Her Majesty the Queen is also talking about that. I thank them for worrying about me but unfortunately I can't do what Her Majesty asks. I promised to be Irene's partner, no matter what the risk," I thought.

Then I took a breath and started talking.

"I'm sorry, Her Majesty. Although I know the risks, but I still can't break up with Irene because I love her so much right now. Before I decided to become Irene's partner, I knew of a possibility like this. I thank you for worrying about me when I was just an ordinary student, but you don't have to worry anymore. Whatever happens, I can deal with it" I said.

Miss Karina smiled at my words, while Her Majesty the Queen looked a little surprised. But after that, he smiled.

"It seems pointless that I told you to break up with Irene. Since you can survive the pressure of my aura, it seems like you can face the problems that are coming," said Queen Kayana.

"You take it easy, Rid. If someone is coming to kill you, they will not be able to enter this academy. This academy is the safest place for you. If there is an intruder, I will take care of it myself" said Miss Karina.

"Thank you, miss," I said.

"Haaaaaaah, so you still don't want to break up. I failed to match you up with Chloe if you broke up, and Irene could be with Charles. And I got both dream daughters-in-law" said Queen Kayana.

"It turns out you yourself also have other interests if Rid breaks up with Irene," said Miss Karina.

"Hmmm what's up Karina ? aren't you happy when Rid I made a match with Chloe ? Do you have feelings for Rid ? I didn't expect you to like a man much younger than you" Queen Kayana said.

"I never said that" said the angry-looking Ms. Karina.

"That's why you don't go out of Estella's family. This is the result, you have not had a partner until now. If you are still in the family, you can be betrothed through family connections and finally get a partner," said Ratu Kayana.

"Such a ridiculous matchmaking system should be abolished. Just as silly as that ~Matchmaking Battle~. Fortunately I came out of the family, I do not need to be betrothed like that," said Miss Karina.

"Oh my goodness" said Queen Kayana.

"You two seem very familiar, yes" I said.

"Of course, after all we are brothers" said Queen Kayana.

"I don't know if this can be called familiar or not" Ms Karina said.

"It's been a while since we've been chatting like this, it looks like we should end this. I must return to my castle" said Queen Kayana.

"Yes. You have to be careful, Rid, the possibility that I think could happen at this time," said Queen Kayana.

"Good," I said.

"And hopefully the relationship with Irene is fine and still getting along. Although I was disappointed that Charles couldn't pair with Irene. But at least Chloe can still be a second partner to Rid" said Queen Kayana.

"Wait a minute, what are you saying" I said.

"It's nothing, forget it" said Queen Kayana.

"By the way, I only realized something when you came here last night" said Miss Karina.

"What is it?" asked Queen Kayana.

"What about Caroline ? Even though she is already 10 years old, is it alright for you to leave her alone?," asked Miss Karina.

"It's okay, after all he's grown up" said Queen Kayana.

"Who is Caroline?" I asked.

"Ah you don't know yet, she's my last child, Caroline Estella San Fulgen. He's Charles and Chloe's younger brother" Queen Kayana said.

"I've never heard of Caroline's daughter before even though I've heard of Charles and Chloe before I met them" I thought.

"But what do you mean leave her alone, Karina ? I didn't leave her alone because I've been keeping her all this time" Queen Kayana said.

"What do you mean" said Miss Karina.

But before finishing his words, he was shocked as the Queen Kayana before him slowly turned into water shaped like her. But then he finally understood what was happening.

"So yes, you who from yesterday were here are clones" said Miss Karina.

"You are very late to realize it, Karina," said Queen Kayana.

"I did realize there was something strange when you said that you would come here alone without an escort, because usually you always go somewhere with the escort of the soldiers," said Miss Karina.

"You're right, even if I told you to go here first, they'd keep me under guard even if I didn't need them. And if I go quietly, those in the palace will be excited once they find out their Queen is missing. I don't want newspapers filled with news about the Queen's disappearance when I'm just here. Although I can leave my clone there and I myself come alone, but if anything happens there, my clone cannot fight to the fullest. That's why I chose my clone to come here, but even though it's a clone, it's the same thought as my real self" said Queen Kayana.

"I know that the clone that a person makes has some of the power of that person. But if Her Majesty's clone alone has this much aura pressure and power, what about the true power of Her Majesty the Queen?" I thought.

"Then I say yes, Rid, Karina. Talking to you was fun, Rid. I look forward to our next meeting. And do not forget to always be careful in the future," said Queen Kayana.

"Okay, Her Majesty the Queen," I said, bowing.

"See you, both of you" said Queen Kayana.

Then Queen Kayana's clone turned into water and fell soaking the floor in this room.

"Geez that guy. Why did he choose to make a clone out of water ? my floor is wet. And again, how should I explain to everyone about the pressure of the aura he created earlier?" said Miss Karina.
