My lord, my name is Rebecca.

Ignoring Nate, she lowers her head deeply.Following that, the people around me lowered their heads.People in this village don't know any manners, so we have to imitate Rebecca for now.

Only Nate didn't lower his head, but Rebecca gently stepped on Nate's toes and forced him to bow.

When you look at him like this, you realize once again that he is the first prince of this country.

Normally, I talked without worrying, but that might have been very rude.

"I have something to tell everyone."

Everyone starts raising their face in response to Duke's low voice.There is a pressing air in his serious expression.

I wonder what Duke wants to tell everyone about his first visit to this village...

"There are people who say this is their home, no matter how bad it looks and how old it is.If you don't want to go back to a village like this again, this village will never come back to its present form again.Even if it's a rough place, it's where everyone grew up.It's not just bad memories, it's possible. "

"I don't want to put it in front of you."

Rebecca interrupted the conversation without ever turning a blind eye to Duke.

I was surprised at his behavior. [M]Duke doesn't always talk this much.He must be thinking about how these villagers feel about him.

Duke leaves for a moment and then opens his mouth again.

"... this village will be developed and turned into a military base"

Gunjikichi... military base!?

All of a sudden, the story is too flying to follow.How much of a plan was Duke pursuing without my knowledge. [M]

Ji-chan still hasn't moved while everyone looks surprised.I've never seen him panic.

Sometimes there is only blood connecting to the Stream Stone Duke.Looks like Ji-chan had some idea of Duke.

"Are you saying there's no trace?

"That's what it is. The country's low military power emerges when it focuses on the world.We can't strengthen our soldiers without proper facilities. "

What kind of country does this prince want Durkis to be?I was going to understand some of Duke's thoughts, but maybe it was a mistake.

He is a few steps ahead of me. [M]

People refer to those who go one step further as honorary students, and those who go two steps further as geniuses.... a person who goes a few steps further is considered a freak.This is the way the world works.

"What the hell do you want?

Rebecca stepped on Nate's foot with all her heart.Nate looks back and asks.

"What does the prince want?

"I want to keep Alicia in my hands."

... hmm?

If you want to keep Alicia in your palm, there is a contradiction.Expulsion is out of Duke's sight.

"Am I the only one who doesn't understand?

Nate looks at Rebecca.She also leans her neck.It seems that no one understands his words.

Duke keeps talking.

"To set Alicia free, I just need to expand my jurisdiction.Alicia wouldn't want that. "

Everyone felt it in his words.The reason this prince is a prince is because of Alicia.

All of Duke's aims are for Alicia.Extreme magic, extraordinary forensic eyes, and brain clarity are all to protect Alicia.But I'll never let her understand.

Alicia, you're adored by an incredible prince.
