A few days have passed since His Highness woke up.
Since then, I have hardly had the chance to meet with the Highness who tended to hang out in the room. Even so, the emperor looked at my face and greeted me with a slight greeting, and immediately turned his heel back.
I don't know what His Highness is doing in the room. However, when I asked the Black Horse Spirit how it was doing, it seemed that Nell had been talking for a long time after entering the room many times.
"I don't know what the king and the prince of Dutois are talking about. But the king is enjoying his new toys.”
I thought you hadn't seen Master Nell lately, but you were with him.
It's a special toy for the king. That's why I thought since he came here, the king would grow into a better person with a slight understanding of his heart..... "
"If I'm no longer interested, I'll be like a nelle who throws it away in an instant." Is that what you mean? "
"... I can't deny the possibility either. How long will you be interested in the Prince? Do you have mercy? Only the king will know that.”
The black horse bowed its head in dismay.
“Don't worry about me. But... does Lady Louis really want to come back to this world? that's all I'm worried about...."
I haven't slept as well as I thought lately.
Lady Louis, who promised to come and pick her up, must still be moving her head, legs, and taking action to return to this world.
And yet, what about me?
Lady Louis's body was inhabited by the consciousness of her Highness. It's Louis, but it's not Louis. Even though I love you, I'm not the one waiting for you.
What should I do? What am I supposed to do? I want to see you, but I can't.
I want to face it, but I don't know what the right thing to do is.
You're scared, aren't you? To seek the prince of this world means to reject the prince of another world. Reject the same person's fragmentation and love the fragmentation. I guess you should admit it.... why would the king do such a cruel thing? ”
That's right... I'm afraid of that.
Even though you are a loved one, if your heart is not this person, you will reject it. I can't admit it, but I'm the only one who wants you back.
"... even though you're the same as Louis, why shouldn't I be?"
If I close my eyes now, Louis' smile will burn. There was a voice calling out the name of Master Louis. Warm. I remember everything...
If you change your behavior, your habits change. When habits change, personality changes. If you change your personality, your fate will change. "
This is a famous quote, so of course I have heard of it. However, when I heard it with the gentle, enveloping bass of a black horse, I felt that it echoed more in my heart.
"The third year is different in terms of the same person, customs, personality, and fate. It must have been his fate. What would you do if you didn't believe me?"
The pale eyes of the black horse fall into a strange sensation that makes all of our hearts see through.
Where is the fate of this person? Think carefully. "
♢
The words of the Black Horse Spirit are repeated in my head again and again. Every time, a sigh leaks out of your mouth.
"My destiny..."
Sit on the lawn and look up at the blue sky. As I followed the clouds with my eyes, a clot climbed up on my lap licking my hand.
Stroking Kuro's head, Kuro closed his eyes in satisfaction.
Kuro, I know my destiny.
Huh? Do you know?
Kuro, who was sleeplessly stretched, stretched his chest out at my astonished voice.
Theodore taught me a long time ago. Samuel laughed at the meeting of destiny. Azuki and Daes are destined!
- Azuki and Dice?
Explore from memory who it was. But as soon as I remembered Samuel's delicious dishes, I heard a voice saying, "Oh, soybeans and soybeans."
"... what? But beans and soybeans are bean types." Is that Samuel's fate? Did Master Theodore really say that? "
"I told you! Kuro, I will not forget Theodore's words." I was laughing at Louie for making fun of me!
Kuro answers with a confident, bright voice. With that momentum pressing on, I often thought about what Theodore had to say.
"Hmm, but that's right. That bean recovered Anna's memory. It might not be an exaggeration to say Samuel's fate.... did Lord Theodor say to Kuro that he had anticipated his fate?"
Maybe so! Because Theodore is the greatest of all humans!
Kuro really loves Master Theodore, doesn't he?
I wish Theodore had been here.
While stroking Kuro's head, who turned away from his face like he was strangling her, he giggled.
― ― Recently, I've been wondering a lot, so being with Kuro will heal me.
I can't postpone it, but I might have needed time to calm my mind while sitting on the lawn and feeling the wind.
It's been a long time since I've felt the power of my body was directed at me.
But that soft time will soon come to an end. Because I heard the sound of scratching the grass from behind.
"What happened to Theodore?"
The voice twitched and shook his shoulder. Looking back slowly, there was the figure of His Highness with a grumpy face.
