The Queen Who Shares Love
Chapter 77 New Goals

Dean woke up in a white room. He looked at Rose who was holding her hand tightly while asleep. He tried to sit. This caused Rose to wake up. Pleasure, relief, sadness mixed into one.

"Am I in heaven?" ask Dean.

"Do you think I'm a dead man?" answer Rose ketus.

"I'm sorry."

Silence was between them. Dean looked at Rose fixedly. Her daughter was already in front of her. He smiles.

"How did I survive?" ask Dean.

"Emilia told me you were dying. I headed to his place and took you to the temple by teleporting to be treated."

"Thank you, Imperial Magician Leader."

"That's nothing." Rose looked away she felt ashamed.

Dean stroked Rose's hair, making this witch gasp. He looked at Dean.

"What are you doing?" ask Rose.

"You've already snatched my first kiss. Don't you want to be responsible?" dean Goda.

Rose was surprised by Dean's attitude which became strange. It seemed like being on the verge of death made him change. However, I don't know why he was happy with this attitude.

"It was also my first kiss, so we were both even."

"May I call your name."

"Of course."

"Rose."

Rose sculpting. He had wanted Dean to call his name for a long time. When they were kids, they didn't change names. They just tell each other. 

He wanted Dean to remember him, but it didn't work out. All his actions to approach him did not make him remember at all. Then think of another way in Rose's brain. It'll make Dean fall in love with him. Even though Dean doesn't remember her, Rose still gets her love.

Dean's face drew closer to Rose and kissed her. Rose clutched Dean's shirt while returning her kiss.

Dean took off Rose's lips. Rose's face flushed, she looked away.

Dean chuckled at Rose's behavior. He thought the Palace Mage Leader was a firm and a little careless person, but it turned out that there was a sweet side to it as well. His shyness is still the same.

"I've been a great knight. Will you be with me forever?" said Dean.

Rose realized that Dean remembered her. He beat Dean slowly. Dean smiled at the behavior of his first love.

"I want to" replied Rose.

Dean hugged Rose. He has long wanted to do this. He also wanted to hold her hand.

"Why didn't you say you knew me?" ask Dean.

"I want you to remember it for yourself."

"What if I don't survive the rebellion?"

"I will mourn and hate you forever for leaving me."

Rose had regretted seeing Dean get hurt. He was afraid that in their brief encounter, Dean only considered him a palace witch. He thought he should have told her first, they could be happy for a while. In haste Rose forces one of the priests to treat Dean. He was grateful that Dean was okay.

"Why didn't you come in the square after that?" 

Rose studied magic in a place far from Dean's hometown. So he only took the time to come once a month. He hoped Dean would come to explain that he had learned magic. However, his encounter with Dean was the moment he saw him in training at the palace training ground. He was happy to meet her, but Dean did not recognize her. He could hate it. However, there was still love in his heart. He tried to make Dean remember. In the end, Dean recognized now. 

"I'm sorry, I. I asked people they said you were starving to death."

"I'm not that easy to die."

"I know, I'm sorry."

Dean hugged Rose even tighter. Rose buried her head into the chest of this knight. They both enjoyed talking about the past.

Leticia was in front of Judith's room bringing her some food. The door to his room is still locked. His daughter still hates him. He hasn't touched his food in days.

Gerald allowed them to stay until Judith recovered. After that, they would isolate themselves from the palace.

Leticia keeps knocking on the door hoping Judith will open the door.

"Darling, I brought you some food. Please eat, you haven't eaten in a few days" said Leticia.

There's no answer.

Leticia closed her eyes while biting her lips.

Gerald came to the First Empress's palace, wanting to see the state of the mother and child. It's still the same as before. If it continues, both lives will suffer.

Gerald forcibly opened the door with his aura. Gerald asked Leticia to wait in front as he went inside. Leticia nodded. 

Gerald went into Judith's room. Judith who was leaning on her bed, was shocked for a moment. Empty look.

Gerald walked up to him, sitting on the chair next to his bed.

"I know how you feel. You feel your life purpose is gone."

Gerald felt the same way when he lost both his parents. He sets a new goal to take revenge on the imperial family. 

"Yes, you've taken it all. Now no one loves and cares about me."

His father did not love him at all while his mother wanted to be with another man. His life's goal of uniting his family has been lost. He wants to be happy with both of them.

"You look like your mother. You two think no one cares about you. There are many who care about you other than your Mother, such as your Master, the Witch Leader of the Tower, the Witch Leader of the Palace."

"They only care about me because I'm a mother's son."

"Then, it could be the other way around. They can hate you because you're your father's son."

Judith looked at Gerald while widening her eyes. Gerald's words were true, in his blood not only flowed the blood of his mother, there was also the blood of his father.

"They care about you because of your kind and adorable nature. If your nature is evil they won't care about you" Gerald continued.

Judith silently listened to every word of this new Emperor carefully.

Gerald continued his words. "Then, your mother chose you over me. I will isolate you both from the palace. I'll make you have a new purpose. Hate me, kill me and be the next Emperor."

Judith clenched her hand tightly. The light in his eyeballs returned. It will have a new purpose.

"Please bring me some food" said Judith Lirih.

Gerald smiled knot. His work here is done. He went out and told Leticia that her daughter was eating. Leticia went in to bring Judith food.

Judith smiled at her mother. Leticia's tears were flowing. He hugged his daughter tightly. Judith answered. Now he can see her again. The warmth and affection of her mother. He did not realize it because his eyes were closed by Charlotte's incitement. He will protect his mother. He promised to make his mother happy.
