"I guess that's what we should call the Four Horses."

We were annoyed by the voice and at the same time the body started to move.

"I'm sorry about this. I should have said hello right away and I saw it in the lake at night"

My brother looked back when he held me up and apologized first for the most apparent reason. Next to the one who spoke, there was the uncle with a relaxed face and Gil with a slightly hurried face. I mean, I guess someone your age is the Earl of Colter.

Nico, who was about to be led to the room there, came rushing over here with the face that he was still concerned.

"Luke, too. There was nothing wrong with me yesterday, but I was overjoyed. I wonder why."

"Your Highness, it is"

My brother didn't seem to know what to explain either. In order to explain it, we had to talk a lot from the premise, and that wasn't a story that we would take seriously in front of everyone.

"Colter, these two are my precious grandchildren, Luke and Lelia of Albans"

Good thing there. Your uncle pinched the introduction.

"With Luke Albans"

"Ri Ria, O-rubansu"

When he greeted him, Uncle Colter let down his gripping face.

"Lord Gilbert Lisburn and Lord Luke Albans. It's an honor to welcome two negotiating actors with Wester. And Lord Lilia."

"Aye."

"Welcome home safe and sound."

"Aye. Thanks."

This is the first time they've said it like this. My brothers and sisters have stretched spines. Uncle Colter turned that eye to the lake when he saw the four of us gathered with tender eyes.

"Much less that role, but this caller is the land of sin in the first place. The island floating in the middle of Lake Mills is called Purgatory Island. Why they call it that, let's talk about it tomorrow when it's bright. How about healing the fatigue of your journey first? We also have delicious rice."

Delicious rice! There were some words that bothered me, but that would be fine later.

"Fashionable!

"Does Lord Lilia like fish? Let's go see if there's any fish food."

"Aye!"

When I had my brother drop me off, my uncle and Uncle Colter held my hand and headed to the mansion.

"My lord Nico, I don't know very well either. Later, yes, tomorrow, we'll talk to Uncle Colter."

"Hmm. Right."

"So shall we go too"

Nico, holding hands with Gil and his brother, also headed to the mansion next to His Highness Albert, who seemed somewhat remorseful. I'm used to it because we're always together in a game we called class.

No matter how much you care about them, if you can't put them into action like your father or brother did in the beginning, it's something you can't tell them.

Or I wonder if I'm bored. If Nico was so important, I wish we could get in touch during the journey. At least, because Nico doesn't hide that His Highness loves Albert.

It was also due to the late arrival, and it was just dinner that day. Isn't it just the Count, a few times bigger than yesterday's noble mansion? I wasn't sure about the night, but it looked like an old building and the walls felt thick and scary, but it was well maintained and cozy.

There may be a reason for this because I'm staying for a few days, but when dinner was over, Nico and I were released relatively quickly, and my brothers were able to return to their rooms immediately.

"Come on, let's eat dinner."

My brother and Gil laughed bitterly when I said I didn't have to prepare a night meal today.

"Leah's watching really well."

"Shimbo's a different place to look."

"Rice, daiji"

Eating is important. My share, you just have to say "I want," but it's hard to even talk about other people. Things like yesterday make you more alert, too.

"You notice it like it was yesterday because you watch it even if you don't have a problem in the first place. Because I know that's a good place for Leah. Shimbo."

Gil made me play pompous hands with my head. Isn't it Gil?

Because I brought Nico here in the name of inspection and study, he said he would stay here tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to see Colter's industry and ship out to the lake. His Royal Highness Albert also said that this was the first time that Colter had done so.

"Mijoumi, Bezoumi"

If there is a lake in a place for a day by dragon car from the ordinary king's capital, is there a detached palace or a villa or something, and the summer is not something to come to for the summer? But for the two of you with faces that you don't know what you're talking about, I rephrased.

"Nachu, Miju Miyu. Miju, Chiju"

"Sure, it would feel good to dip your feet in the lake during the hot summer months"

Gil is nodding.

"I'm cool in a different way. This lake is crawling. Does your uncle know anything?"

After all, Gil tilted his neck at his brother, who rubbed his arm.

"I don't really know, although there's something I somehow feel if I pay great attention. Besides, when I studied Kingdoms history and geography at the Academy, I didn't think Colter had any characteristics other than the lake."

If you don't even learn at school, isn't that a big deal? Either way, Uncle Colter told me he'd explain tomorrow. Then we'll have to wait for tomorrow.

The next day I went out of the mansion excitedly. Breakfast is done, of course.

"Speaking of Colter, Lake Mills. Most importantly, if we go to the lake, we won't talk about it.

"Uhm!"

"Aye!"

Uncle Colter, smiling mischievously, looked radiant. At least I think Nico and I have lost our minds.

Even if you bother with some sign, that's what it is. It didn't really matter to me that it was everyday in Wester.

There is a pier just off the mansion and a large building to cover that pier. There was a big boat with a roof there. Even so, it's just something with a table and a place to sit in the middle, in a way that makes the stall a little bigger. There are many gookers aboard.

"I'd really prefer a small fishing boat, but if it falls into the lake, it's dangerous."

Any ship is fine. I climbed in with exasperation.

Winds across the lake are still cold, though winter is over. Wrapped around with mufflers and all sorts of things, I'm still firmly at the head of the ship.

"Please don't fall."

"One thing. Hey."

Most importantly, don't tell me Hans is holding his hips behind him. The ship first turned towards the centre. Wave when you see a fishing boat on the way. Nico waves next door too. Then they all wave back at me.

He said, "He's gonna kick your ass!

"You'll want to wave back by accident."

It's not the sea, so the boat doesn't rock that big either, but enjoying some shaking and changing scenery, eventually the fishing boat was gone and the other shore just looked faint in any direction.

No, not just in one direction. We were close to a small island.
