SUMMONED to ANOTHER WORLD

Volume 5. Chapter 3 Grief And Confusion

“…..” Teresa and the others saw Aurora in the bright sky.

Deg... Deg...

They all heard a sound like a heartbeat coming from the small box on the table.

“…..” Their eyes shifted to the small box.

"Teresa..." Rini saw her friend walking slowly towards the box.

Teresa continued to walk slowly towards the box, the sound coming from the small town was heard again.

“….” One of Teresa's hands slowly reached for the small box, and slowly opened it.

“This…” Teresa saw a silver necklace with black gems as decoration.

"Queen?" Rii and the others saw Teresa take a necklace from the small box.

"Necklace– " Teresa's words stopped, she immediately had a vision of the object.

"Queen?!"

“Teresa?”

They all saw their queen fall unconscious for the second time. William brought his queen back to the room.

“This place…” Teresa found herself back where the mysterious masked person was.

"...." She walked towards the garden and found the mysterious person pouring a drink into a cup.

"Drink it," The mysterious person served her cold tea and a snack cake, she had never seen before.

"What food is this?" Teresa was very curious about the snack he gave her.

"This cake comes from one of the lands in this world, the name of this cake is Pukis Badran." The mysterious person told the origin of the cake.

"Eat it, I'm sure you'll like it."

“….” Teresa held a fork to one side of the dish and ate it.

"How does it feel, do you like it?"

“…It's delicious, sweet, soft, and– “ Teresa cried, feeling so guilty for the person who had been so kind to her.

“There's no need to cry, Queen Teresa. I don't take your words to heart."

"Hmm..." Teresa nodded her head as a sign of understanding, she wiped her cheeks from her tears.

"Do I need to remove –"

“No, I want it like this. I…"

"...." The mysterious person stood up from his seat walked over to Teresa and grabbed her by hugging her.

Teresa, who was warm, cried uncontrollably in the masked person's arms.

"What happened to you is my fault, Queen Teresa."

“You are a strong woman, you have gone through many trials and obstacles. So, there's no need to cry anymore."

“I will return–”

"I don't want to, you're the only one I have here...even if I come back, they won't feel that I'm back." Teresa interrupted the mysterious person's words.

"I'd rather be here, with you. The person who always sees me, the person who protects me, and the person who–"

“I understand, Queen Teresa. Then I'm sorry for coming to your castle without asking your permission.” The mysterious person tried to divert the conversation so as not to burden the atmosphere.

“Promise...promise that you won't leave me, and if you want to go. I want you to take me too.” Teresa was afraid of losing someone again after she had lost several people in her world.

“I will do it…” The mysterious person did not intend to make a promise but gave hope.

“It's time for you to open your eyes—”

"Don't want to," Teresa said in a firm but low voice, still hugging the mysterious man.

"Are you sure? They have all been waiting for you, to open your eyes.” One of the person's hands stroked Teresa's head and combed her hair.

“I've said before, I want to stay here.” Teresa with an improved voice.

"Do you remember what I gave you?"

“Necklace with black gems?” Teresa wanted to be sure.

“That's right, as long as you take it wherever you are. I'll be there, but..."

"But what? Tell me." Teresa became curious.

“The necklace can only be used once, the world you are in has a shape like a train with a black gem in the middle. For this world, Demist is a necklace.” Still stroking Teresa's hair and telling her.

"...." Teresa didn't want to let go of the hug, she had wanted a hug since she dared to become the emperor's concubine.

Teresa reminded her of the promise she had made, then she accepted to return to the present world.

"...." Teresa opened her eyes and found Rini arranging flowers in a vase in her room.

“Why are you so busy with the flowers?”

“Eh? Did you forget, this is your favorite flower Teresa…Rose–“

"...." Rini was silent for a moment, realizing that her friend had regained consciousness.

William, Jei, and Noa, who were in the lounge room, heard Rini crying. They went straight to the source of the crying and found their queen hugging Rini.

A few hours later.

"Sorry to bother you all, Mr. William, Miss Jei, Rini, and Mr. Noa..."

"We all don't feel bothered at all, queen." Noa didn't mind what happened.

“Thank you for looking after me.” Teresa, who was sitting on the bed, bowed her head to thank.

"Please raise your head, my queen. Looking after you is a must." William felt uncomfortable seeing his queen bend even a few degrees.

Teresa raised her head, and pleasure showed on her face.

"If I may ask...where are the others?" Teresa was curious because she didn't see or hear a sound from outside her room.

“They all went to the northern kingdom a week ago,” Rini told her friend.

“A week?!” Teresa was shocked to hear Rini's words.

“Did I sleep that long?”

"My Queen, you haven't opened your eyes since four months ago," Noa told his queen about how long he didn't open her eyes.

“…..” Teresa froze, not realizing that she had been asleep for that long.

"Four months? Even though I was only there for a short time, and..." Teresa said in her mind, not expecting time to pass so quickly.

"Queen?" Noa saw that his queen was silent for a few minutes.

"Ah...the kingdom in the north, what 's going on?" Teresa was so curious.

"We wouldn't say you forgot, seeing as since you were made queen thirteen years ago…you've been so busy you couldn't hear the invitation." Noa didn't mind that her queen didn't know about the invitation letter.

"Queen, do you remember our classmates Tasya and Shofy?" Rini wanted to make sure before telling her.

"Of course, I know them, what's wrong with them?" Teresa was curious, she knew Tasya and Sofy but from the world they came from, not in this world.

"On the day of Mr. Rii and Mr. Vail's engagement, they both came and invited us all directly," Noa told his queen.

"They will both marry princes from kingdoms in the north,"

"So they are getting married...then when is the wedding day?" Teresa was curious, she seemed to want to attend.

"If you count from the departure of Mr. Vail and the others...Tasya and Shofy will get married in thirty days from now." Noa tells the calculations through the departure of Vail and the others.

"Mr William, is there still time if I come?" Teresa wanted to be sure of the timing.

"I think you still have time before the wedding day," William told the calculations.

"My wife and I will guard this kingdom...and prepare a horse-drawn carriage for you, my queen."

"Sorry, Mr. William...to bother you." Teresa felt that she had burdened the high nobility with her duties.

William and Noa left the room. At the same time, Noa was asked by his wife's father to accompany Queen Teresa to the kingdom.

"The Queen is talk?" Noa said that in his mind, seeing his queen talking with someone in his queen's private horse-drawn carriage.

"Is there a problem, Noa?" Rini was very curious to see her husband looking out the window of the horse-drawn carriage they both owned.

"Rini, just to be sure...we're only going with the three of us, right?" Noa was so surprised and wanted to make sure.

"Of course, the three of us, what happened?" Rini was curious about her husband's attitude.

"You better look at this..." Noa asked his wife to look at Queen Teresa from behind the horse carriage window.

"Indeed- " Rini's words stopped, she was surprised to see her queen laughing to herself in her queen's horse-drawn carriage.

……….

“…Stop it, you are making me unable to keep my face,” Teresa complained about the jokes from the mysterious person in front of her eyes.

“But I didn't expect Yua to be so careless.”

"She's like that, besides, I handed over my cake shop in your world to her." The mysterious person informed.

"Then what are the other conditions in the old world?" Teresa wants to know how all her friends are doing.

“They are all gone, and what made them gone was not war or negative things. But it's time, they all get their pleasure." The mysterious person told the news about the friend was talking to.

“Does that mean they were passed on by their descendants?” Teresa became curious.

"Yes... their descendants are now inheriting it, Miss Lara, Miss Yua, and all of them."

"What about the Trus kingdom?" Teresa was curious about the condition of her kingdom in this world.

"Vail and Teresa were married after her first husband, Noa, died on the battlefield."

"Wait a minute, Noa is married to…her?" Teresa was very surprised to hear that, especially when she was also surprised that Vail was marrying the queen.

"After you've been here which means fifteen years since you've been gone...a –"

“Wait master, I have been gone for fifteen years from the original world?!" Teresa was very surprised to hear the words of her interlocutor.

"The reason is that differences in time laws, timelines, and so on...make the time differences so significant."

"If you still don't understand, we can compare the two times of the west end and the time of the east end... what we know is that both times are different from each other."

"For example, the kingdom in the far east saw the sun that had set... in the kingdom in the far west, they saw the sun trying to rise into the sky."

“I understand now…but, what about me? They said I had been asleep for four months, even though I felt like I had just met you there." Teresa expressed her confusion about how quickly time had passed.

"Even though it wasn't like that before," Teresa told him what he was confused about.

“What if I don't want to answer?”

“…I understand, you can't hide that without a clear reason. But in exchange, would you like to tell me about the kingdom in the north?” Teresa did not mind her interlocutor's refusal and asked to impart knowledge.

“I'll tell you, Queen Teresa.”
