Herscherik (Reincarnated Prince Series)
Chapter IX: Sincerity, Heart and Blue Wings Part One
The sound of the door of my chamber knocking. When Hershelik turns his gaze to Clo, the butler turns to the door to respond without having to listen to the Lord. Then when he opened the door and opened his eyes, he invited the visitor in.
It was Tesseri with a harsh look and his lead knight Tatsu who appeared.
"Hershelik."
It's not nicknamed, it's called a name and Hershelik's spine stretches. And I confronted my brother straight.
"Dear Brother Tesseri, why are you here?
Consideration had been given to why. But Hershelik asks so that it can be stopped. To his brother's words, Tesseri turned a shooting gaze, the opposite of his usual mild expression.
"Why not? Your lead knight is back in bloody blood. There's a lot of noise in the castle.
The soldier stopped earlier, but if he was making a scene at the point before that, the silence became useless.
To Hershelik, whose expression is tense, Tesseri leaks a deep sigh before continuing her words in a shuddering tone.
"Damn, that's why I said I have to be careful.
"……… did your brother know about the two of you?
As if he had foreseen it, Hershelik raised a resentful voice. Tesseri replied with a bitter smile, turning a hard gaze on his brother like that.
"I guess it's a little different. I had a prediction, but it's true. But you knew Hershey.
Hershelik gets stuck with his brother's words.
My brother was right, and Hershelik had an idea about the existence of the two. However, it was my decision not to mention them as unnecessary if I were to just let them flee the country. I don't think that decision was wrong. But it is no exaggeration to say that we are inviting this situation.
Hershelik thinks bitterly of his sweetness.
Tesseri opened her mouth when she got one sigh to her brother, who looked like he had chewed up a bitter bug.
"Do you know why I was going around all the countries?
"Studying abroad..."
Hershelik answers the suddenly unusual topic with confusion. Tesseri nodded at the answer.
"Yeah, that's what's happening on the surface. Well, it wasn't a mistake because at first it was a study abroad to learn the knowledge of another country. But I saw the kingdom from the outside and I knew it.
That was about three years ago. The college only knows what is within the kingdom. That's why I came out to learn. But from the outside, I noticed the distorted state of the kingdom. And to what other countries call 'the great power of worry'.
"So I went around a lot of countries to make handouts. To outrun Barbasse and gain the strength to push him... and now that he's finished working hard, he's using it effectively.
Hershelik took over the minister before he could consolidate his surroundings, so he ended up in jail. But the handover has become very important in today's kingdom. Some of the countries invited to the Toyota Festival were not so hostile to the kingdom as to be friendly. But Tesseri used her handover to invite her. Thanks to this peek, the kingdom did not have to be frightened of the neighbouring countries for some years beyond.
And the internal circumstances of the military purchased with that handout. It was information that the military was taking a leap and following the whereabouts of a certain military master. Within the military, the warrior was wanted, both alive and dead.
I couldn't even purchase the appearance or the name exactly, but if I looked at the time, I could easily predict the two people Hershelik came with.
"If you ask about their circumstances, Hershey will help them, won't she?
"Even if you don't ask me what's going on, if they need help, I'll help.
"Ha... so I had to be careful.
Without hesitation, Tesseri leaks a deep sigh as she continues to tell her younger brother, which is why she didn't tell him.
"This could also develop into a problem with the military. You know that, don't you?
"…… Yes.
Hershelik also knew that if the kingdom was known to have hidden persons under nomination in the military, it would develop into an international problem. Besides, if the kingdom had obtained a warrior who was even said to be a "treasure of the military," the military would not be silent.
It was also his sweetness that Hershelik did not pursue them, but he did not mention them for each other in order to escape.
"Hershelik, you are the prince of this country.
Hershelik is silent. The Lord, who rarely opens his mouth, sent a suspicious gaze, but the Lord did not try to respond to his gaze. Tesseri superimposes more words on him like that.
"Say it again Hershelik. You are the royal family of this country. Whoever says what... Whatever you say, you don't have to tell me that you're in that position right now, but you understand best.
Hershelik could not answer his brother's words, which he dared to emphasize. I couldn't find a word to say.
"The most important thing we need to think about is the safety of this country. This problem could develop into a war between the two countries if we do poorly. There must be no threat to the security of the kingdom to save the lives of only two people if you say it in an unpleasant way... Hershelik, do you still want to help them?
Tesseri's question was one that he had already asked himself in the past.
The night I spoke to my father, when I had the worst predictions, I asked myself.
I am the prince of this country. As my brother put it, priority should be given to the Kingdom of Gracis, the people of the Kingdom. If this worsens our relations with the military and leads to a war, we could slap down the kingdom, which has seen signs of peace, once again into chaos.
But still, Hershelik's answer was settled.
"Of course. No matter what anyone says, no matter what means they use, I will help them.
Looking at Tesseri from the front, Hershelik says it out.
It is certainly the kingdom that should prevail. But on account of the kingdom, there is only an excuse not to help them. I was asked for help and offered my hand, but Hershelik can't shake it off for his own protection.
Hershelik wants to help with everything. I want to get everything. And I don't want to lie to myself. I don't say it's beautiful for people. Everything is complete because of my wishes and ambitions. That was what I once swore to myself.
To his brother, who said it without taking his gaze off, Tesseri leaked a deep sigh, turning his harsh expression and lowering his gaze.
"……… Ok!
In Hershelik's serious eyes, Tesseri gently raises her hands to indicate her intention to surrender, placing her hand on her brother's pale-colored blonde hair and stirring her momentum.
"I can't help it anymore! Your brother lends a hand too!
"And, Brother Tesseri?
It changed the atmosphere just now. As it was too light, Hershelik is turned into a tesseri, but he strokes his head and makes his eyes black and white.
I thought it would be more reprehensible, but reality said diagonally of anticipation.
"Hmm?"
Releasing his brother, Tesseri's gentle eyes reflected his confused and uncertain expression.
"It's okay, sir?
Hershelik asks Tesseri, who shakes her light peachy hair and tilts her neck. Tesseri told his brother to flaunt his shoulder.
"'Cause Hershey will never give up helping... and you're ready to carry them, right?
Hershelik nodded unmistakably at the words. Small to the look of it, Tesseri leaks a sigh and smiles bitterly.
"Then what am I saying is futile.
Tesseri had heard from his brothers. Hershelik said he was quite stubborn, contrary to his appearance. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to defeat that minister. Tesseri doesn't have the art of changing his mind. Then I thought it would be a good idea to work together to minimize the damage.
"Besides, your mother has asked for you. I really hate that you look just like that guy.
"Mother?
Tesseri nods and remembers someone she once admired like her sister.
The pet princess, likened to the golden princess of the royal castle, was loved and admired not only by the king, but also by the queen and the side chambers, as well as by his children. However, because Tesseri was my youngest brother at the time, when she had a child, Tesseri felt like she had been taken from her favorite sister.
Whatever he told around him, Tesseri's pretentious and rotten attitude continued, but only the princess of the moment laughed.
"It's nice to meet you, brother Tesseri, about the baby.
The princess always said so and smiled at Tesseri, who came to see her without dawn, even if she was rotten. In retrospect, the princess may have understood that her life was in danger at the same time as giving birth to the baby.
And the day Hershelik was born, the princess died, and Tesseri became his brother from brother, Tesseri vowed to keep his promise to the princess.
Protecting Hershelik no matter what, and being on your side. He flew out of the country to protect his youngest brother and absorbed all kinds of knowledge. It was all to protect my brother and the country where he was.
"So I'm on your side unconditionally. Ma, this would be the same for my brother.
Neither my father nor my brothers should care what this youngest brother will do. But more than that, I'm sure I love him. In the end, the family is kind of sweet for Hershelik.
"Well, Hershelik. I'm about to embark on another journey.
Knocking her hand once, Tesseri makes her smile.
"The destination was on the part of the Principality of Parche...... I would have talked to the messenger from Parche at the feast, wouldn't I?
"Brother Tesseri!
Hershelik is surprised by Tesseri's words, but his face is dyed with joy.
Hershelik gave little entertainment or visits to dignitaries from all over the country at this Toyota Festival. But only one of them had an interview with an emissary from the Principality of Parchet at that feast seat.
The Duchy of Parche was asked to cooperate in a very secret way in the last battle. At this Toyota Festival, the merchants of the Principality of Parche were granted preferential treatment, such as partial exemption from customs duties. The messenger offered to say hello and asked for one more.
The Principality of Parche is a maritime state. There is, of course, the Lustian Confederation in the country to which it deals. Perchelik wanted the two of them to be delivered to the Federation via the Principality, and Hershelik was actually speaking to the man representing the House of Representatives of the Principality.
There's nothing wrong with just the two of us. But it is no exaggeration to say that the coverage of both of them has been confirmed if it is the offering of a brother with a solid identity.
"I thought I was going to want two more for you. Good man, can you introduce me?
Tesseri offered after finding out about it. If you're on Tesseri's side, you don't have to skimp poorly when crossing the border.
"…… Thank you, Brother Tesseri.
Tesseri smiled and nodded in Hershelik's words of thanks
"You're welcome. I think I'll get my father to help me with the rest. It's time for the country to change.
Hershelik understands and nods the profound words of Tesseri. To such a brother Tesseri continued his words.
"Hershey, make sure you do well with other concerns there. Bring them in properly.
"Yes!"
"Well, I'm coming to my father. Your lead knight won't be able to force you, so I'll lend you a tattoo. Tatsu."
While satisfied with his brother's energetic reply, Tesseri speaks to the samurai who refrained behind him. Tatsu holds the machete in his hand and makes him nod.
"Understood."
"See you later. I'll introduce you both officially then.
Confirm your lead knight's reply and Tesseri turns back on his heel. And shortly before he tried to put his hand on the knob of the door to get out of Hershelik's chamber into the hallway, he stopped his leg and spoke with his back to Hershelik.
"…… Hershey.
"Brother Tesseri?
To the surprised Hershelik, Tesseri continues with a quiet, but somewhere sad, caged voice.
"I can't admit that wish.
Silence dominates the room. The leaders could not understand the story, but could only look at each other and see the look on the face of the Lord. Make it a heartbeat and ten beats. It was Hershelik who broke that silence.
"Dear Brother Tesseri, nevertheless I am……………"
A heavily open mouth never worded beyond. He leaked a sigh of uncertainty several times to his brother like that, and Tesseri shook his head to the side.
"…… Fine, we'll talk again.
Then Tesseri opened the door knob and left the room behind.
