I blinked at what had just happened in front of me.

"Larum?"

A lot of things happened to me and I didn't really understand the situation.

(What happened...?

Before the rallum standing up, Gowen is down.

Larum slaughtered Gowen? It's the opposite of a dream, and in the first place, why not?

(No, thanks, but honestly I'm not happy)

Larum admired Gowen so much by then, he let him slaughter him. I ran over to Gowen.

"Gowen! Stay with me!

Gowen had his back slashed from behind. I tried to hold the wound and stop the bleeding.

(Stop, stop, stop...)

His Majesty the King told me not to show strength, but I am not free to manipulate in the first place, and above all, I cannot do anything when people are dying. Even if that's who you targeted for your life. Gowen's wounds look slightly blocked, but not completely weak or weak.

"Larum!"

"Princess... I'm sorry"

Larum's face was crying distorted.

(It's my fault you made me look like that...)

"Don't apologize! Quick..."

"The Power of God" was not fully activated. Because of this, Gowen's complexion gets worse and worse.

"Put that sword down, call for help," I tried to say, but I couldn't.

"Oh, no, it's not sweet of you to try to help someone who tried to kill himself. Princess."

"Ugh, so--"

The moment I heard that voice, the moment I saw him, I just had to be flabbergasted.

"Emperor Gardia..."

"Hey, princess."

The boy, with the same silver hair as me, grinned ruthlessly to show.

"Why, here..."

That letter was a fake for Gowen to call me.

'Cause you taught me. Hey.

"To whom..."

You're right in front of the princess.

"In front of you..."

All I have in front of me is Larum standing up with his sword.

"Larum...?"

That Larum taught Emperor Gardia?

"Larum, who are you?

Larum leaves his face crying and answers nothing.

"Tell him. He said he was from the Gardia Empire and that he had been a spy..."

"Uh..."

I didn't understand what they said.

"Because... he said he was picked up..."

"That's right. I let Gowen pick it up. To make you a fine spy."

"Why..."

"Implications to a child who has been spy-educated to make them forget that they are spies. Grow up as you are and solve the implication the moment you take up a key position. I can use this method quite a bit, huh? Anyway, I don't feel like a spy, so I don't do anything suspicious."

Larum said he was picked up by Gowen at a young age. That it was a trap?

"Larum... You were very admiring Gowen."

"That's right. 'Cause I didn't remember."

With that said, Emperor Gardia pulled down as he grabbed Larum's blue hair.

"What are you doing!?

"Even if you pull it down like this, you won't even resist, will you? I mean, that's what I mean."

I stepped on Larum's back as it was. Larum faces with pain, but does not do any resistance.

"Since when... How long have you been betraying us?

"Because I saw that consolation tablet..."

Larum creased between his eyebrows and answered in agony.

"When I saw that tablet, I was totally implying it as a reminder of memory."

(Speaking of which, I was crying then...)

"La, larum..."

At that time, Gowen spoke out as he was about to disappear. Its complexion is so bad that there is no more red blood coming from the wound slashed from the back.

"Gowen!? Are you okay?

"Dear Luche... Please run..."

Gowen said with constant breath.

"What are you talking about!?

"I... yourself, I don't hate..."

When I said that, I got up shaking my body.

"I have lived... to... crush... that Gardia Empire, so... Shh. Here's the thing... Shit, la... Make you..."

"Because you don't have to talk! Shut up! What if the wound opens any more!?

(To be honest, I can't think of a name to cut through!?

"Larum..."

Gowen called to Larum, as if he hadn't heard my words or something.

"Team Gowen, Captain... I'm sorry.... Please, give the princess..."

Larum was trampled, pointing toward Gowen.

"You..."

Gowen crooked his face crying.

"Hmm. Have you moved into love with a princess or a gowen? Like the real Lord? Like your father? To the habit of slavery I can't resist one word of mine..."

"Guh."

Emperor Gardia stomped around Larum's head. Larum groans painfully.

"Stop!! What are you doing!? Get away from Larum!!

Emperor Gardia gave a look that he said was heartfelt unexpected.

"The princess is really sweet, isn't she? Killing and discarding children on the battlefield is not the same as the ghost princess or any other Listil clan. The man who tried to kill himself, the man beneath me, betrayed you and your family. Are you gonna help them both? Are you stupid?

"Shut up! I don't care what you do with them!

"Well, if you stay like this, your mustache surface will die."

"Gowen..."

Indeed, as it is, Gowen loses his blood.

"Luche... dear... run away... beak... As it is..."

(What to do...)

"Ha. Hey, princess, before I said, 'So you've never been uncomfortable with your power to yourself in this world? When I said," Come on, you couldn't answer me. "

I'm going to poke at something I don't like. Even though the fold isn't clearly put on myself.

"Me, too."

"What do you mean..."

Do you still remember anything from him, too?

"From the time I was born, I felt uncomfortable. Something's missing. I haven't had enough. I missed you..."

"I was really happy when the princess found out she was the same 'expressionist' as me."

That was such a beautiful grin that I didn't think of anyone who had done anything cruel.

"'Expressor', what?"

"I'm talking about someone who has the 'power' rarely expressed in the Gardia royal family. Now it's just me and the princess..."

"It's so little..."

"So I'm sure if I were with the princess, I'd feel like I could be normal, too. Come to my country. I will make you free to use both the Power of God and the Power of Manipulating Space. Don't invade this country."

"Lou, Sheh, Dear... I, I don't care... don't... Run away... crumbs..."

Gowen tries to get me away with groaning.

"I don't like it. Everybody, run away..."

"Princess, I don't like deaf kids. That, too, no, I don't like this either. No one can protect you from that. Anything you can't throw away, you can't protect it."

That said he approached quietly.

(Speaking of which, someone said. The ghost princess, the aunt known as the devil, said that in order to protect the kingdom of Asteria, even his allies, uncles and master Klaus would never let the enemy invade the territory. The only thing that invaded the territory was that war thirteen years ago)

Everybody, clean up your aunt with the word "terrible". But even my uncle, who tried to protect the Kingdom of Asteria, tried to protect this country as the Duke of War until he abandoned his precious things. To protect what I have to protect.

(Should I throw something away too...?

Behind my brain I thought of the faces of my father, mother, uncle and aunt, people I'd met before.

Do I have to make the brutal choices that the adults have made, too?

At some point, Emperor Gardia came to my sight.

(What I should throw away, I'm sure...)

"The princess who drew the noblest blood muscles in this world. Let's go back where we belong, shall we?

When he said that and knelt before me, he offered me his hand and chuckled inadvertently.
