Igris's manga / #Royalty(9)

King Grey has unrivaled strength, wealth, and prestige in a world governed by martial ability. However, solitude lingers closely behind those with great power. Beneath the glamorous exterior of a powerful king lurks the shell of man, devoid of purpose and will. Reincarnated into a new world filled with magic and monsters, the king has a second chance to relive his life. Correcting the mistakes of his past will not be his only challenge, however. Underneath the peace and prosperity of the new world is an undercurrent threatening to destroy everything he has worked for, questioning his role and reason for being born again.

Deep sunken cheeks, dirty skin which lost its original color, twig-like wrists, filthy fingernails and a much smaller body for her age. And with neglected hair hanging over half of her face, this small child is actually the forgotten Royal Princess of the Empire. Unable to stifle her hunger any longer, she crawls out of her hiding within a tiny, old, worn-down castle in search of food... "I'm hungry..." The small girl who's wearing nothing but shabby clothes murmured without even realizing. "Can I eat this...?" Her small fern-like hand tore a piece of vegetation off of the ground, but she eventually put it down while shaking her head from side to side. The little girl hadn't had a proper meal for three days... "Estrella..." The child recited the name, her words one with the wind. It was a precious name that she had earned only after a long time. "I'm sorry I'm late." "...It's alright." The little one who replied then slumped onto Elias' chest.

As a chef at a small knight's restaurant, I became the nuisance youngest daughter of a powerful man who was afraid of the emperor. I tried to run away with all my travel expenses… It’s strange. “If you say you're sorry, are you that shameless?” “That’s because I’m your brother.” “Why don't you take Grandmother on a stroll?” Why is everyone so nice to me all of a sudden? “Why do you want to take out someone's eyeballs when they see me?” People who had caught me trying to escape. I'm just cooking. What's wrong with you?
