"... Um, was it good?
After His Highness is gone from the indoors, I speak to Lady Leticia.
"What do you mean, good?
"I'm here, I am. Whatever you think, it wouldn't be a good story to let someone in a position like me hear it."
To my inquiry, Lady Leticia laughed bitterly.
"Sure, yeah. But I really wanted to hear it. Ever since I first met you in that outhouse, I've had your thoughts. It was very, very interesting."
To her answer, inside I was leaning my neck.
As such, Lady Leticia laughs as if she could enjoy blowing up with Couscous.
"Earlier, it was more than I thought. Thanks, Bern."
"No thanks needed. I just said what I thought. But... just one thing, can I ask you something?
I wonder what it is.
"Do you really aspire to the throne because you 'want to be king'? Or are you going for the throne from 'I want to carry my brother's burden instead, I want to line up my shoulders', as I said that day out of the palace?
Lady Leticia deepened her grin at the inquiry.
"... I want to carry my brother's burden instead, it's true that I have that thought. Until now, I've held my brother in my arms, and I've had a hard time. I can't allow you to just be protected. But Bern. Your words from that day set me free, didn't they?
To her words, I open my eyes for just a moment as surprised.
"The questions and thoughts of Moyamoya and I had about national politics and the way this country is at a much younger age have been clarified in your words. And I want to turn it into an extinct body. That's when I was set to truly aspire to the throne. So, Bern. I want the throne with my will and my wish."
"Are you left-handed......"
"... so, Bern. I want you to walk with me if you can. Because your thoughts are close to my ideals."
"I'm a subordinate of Your Highness, am I not?
"I know you do. And the initial exchange between you and your brother.
In Lady Leticia's words, I look like a bum.
And in my head, I was thinking about the day I met His Highness.
... The day I saw that tragedy, I first met His Highness in the royal palace.
"You, don't you have to go to Edward's?
At the top of the opening, Your Highness asked for pleasure.
'I've come here to change the misery I'm in. For the sake of our people, we work in powder. "
In contrast, I answered pale.
All I'm saying is that I'm not interested in the dispute between His Highness and Dear Edward's brothers or anything.
Your Highness must have noticed that intention.
His Highness laughed greatly at my answer.
'Well, that means it could have been either way. You use me for your ideals... and'
The phrase, whine with pleasure.
'It would be good. Take full advantage of it. But when you're no longer a user, I'll snap your neck.... that's all I slapped and showed you. I'm not saying I can't. Instead, you keep spying on me, too. If I scorn the people, you can cut me off quickly.'
'... Your words, I accept them accurately. As long as Your Highness continues to be present for the country and the people, I shall continue to follow the same path as His Highness'.
Such an exchange established a subordinate relationship between me and His Highness.
"I still haven't forgotten what I said then. Those were sworn words to myself. That's why I've come all the way here.... Anyway, so far I have no reason to leave His Highness"
"Earlier, were you listening? If I had succeeded to the throne, your brother would have left the front line of nature and national politics. I want you to walk with me then."
"… the truth I can tell you is that no matter what state you are in, my prescribed axis will remain the same"
To my words, but Lady Leticia laughed nicely.
"Yes. Now let's just say I could hear that. Okay, Bern. I think your brother has already given you instructions... but I will take your brother's place instead of mine. There are a few things I'd like to confirm first, so come to my study"
That's how we left the place again.
