Bab 475: A Surprise Attack

(From Ruby's Perspective)

Her Highness had stopped trying to get King Ford to forgive himself. Despite all the odds, I found the situation quite funny. If not funny, so strange that it made me laugh even through all of this. 

I started to work at the palace at a very young age. All my life, I had heard about the ruthless King of Trouvaille. When I entered the palace, I heard the same thing. By then, I noticed how our King was also ruthless. But I never thought of him that way. In my eyes, our King and the King of Trouvaille were entirely different, as if I, along with everyone else, never saw what was in front of us. We looked past everything and antagonized the King of a rival kingdom. 

In my life, I never thought that King Ford might be just like everyone else; he could be just a man, a man who could smile, who could laugh, who could joke, who could be a friend, and who could love.
