Tearmoon Empire Story

Lesson 46 Sad Guilt

Meanwhile, Belle and the children, who had separated from Meer, were taken to the auditorium by Shtrina.

The emperor smiled gently at the children who had arrived.

Mansana's eyes narrowed interestingly as she looked towards Patty, not Bell...

"I see..." Sure enough, there was a face of the previous princess. Besides, that girl is somewhat like Princess Meir..... "

"Hahaha. That would be true. Well, actually, it's not as cute as meer....."

The emperor laughed in an upbeat mood. As prompted, Belle and the others took their seats.

With that, Yana's body stiffened to an out of place nervousness. Even though I greeted you once, it was like an imperial emperor and a grand nobleman sitting in his seat. It was impossible to tell me not to be nervous.

Meanwhile, Kirill did not sit down, stepping out of the fence in front and watching the race.

"Wow..."

Horseback riding, seen from a high position, had a different force.

The Empire is amazing to have so many horses.

Cyril cheers as she watches the horses race. When I heard that, Belle smiled... and began to speak.

"Fufufu, let's teach Cyril something nice." In fact, there is a country called the Riding Kingdom where everyone rides horses. "

Horseback riding kingdom...?

To Cyril, who was tilting his neck, Bell spoke in a very mighty tone.

"Yes, it's a very nice country, isn't it?" "There is a wide meadow spread out..." Horses rush around. The inhabitants also lived with the horses, and hehehe, I rode a lot. I miss them. "

That's how Bell goes around her neck. Gently narrowed his eyes to look at the scenery of the riding kingdom from afar...

"When I do this, I feel like I can see the sight of the meadow." Ah, look, over there... "

"Belle... the horseback riding kingdom might be that way..."

In response to Strina's modest tsk, Bell turned her face in the guise of casual wind...

"... I miss you so much!"

It is a bell at an appropriate pace at any time.

Now, despite what Belle-san said, Cyril said, glittering her eyes.

One day, we want to go too, Yana-san

Yana loosened her cheeks a little, and then stroked Cyril's head...

“Yeah, maybe we could live there someday.”

That word she said herself... Yana suddenly feels strange.

--I couldn't even think about it until a little while ago...

The hard days in Ganudos Harbor country pass by.

Stealing food, robbing poor children like ourselves, getting beaten up and hurting... but still living desperately.

It was all about protecting Cyril and surviving together. "But for now..."

--What do you want to do, where do you want to live... I'm thinking about that...

"Onee-chan...?"

When she suddenly returned to me, Cyril was staring at her with a worrying look on her face. To reassure her, Yana stroked her head and then turned to Patty.

As usual, Patty watched the competition without any expression on her face.

However, Yana somehow... looked like her face was backed up.

- I see... Patty's brother is now...

Yana remembered and felt guilty about herself as she enjoyed her days.

It was probably the same kind of guilt that Patty had.

It's... a guilt that you're the only one living happily ever after.

- I'm not sure, but Patty can't see her brother. "And my brother is not very happy..."

"Even though I know that, I enjoy happiness..." And there was a thorn in Yana's heart.

I want you to be a good friend of Patty's...

What resonates in my head is the words I was told by my great benefactor Meer.

What can I say to Patty as a friend right now...?

At the end of the day... Yana opened her mouth.

"Hey Patty... can you take Patty's brother with you?"

"... eh?"

Patty opened her eyes suddenly.

"Riding the kingdom, if you go with me, I'm sure it will be very fun." Cyril will be glad too... Well, of course, I don't know much about Patty. I don't know what Patty's brother's doing right now. But I'm sure if you were me... you'd do something about it. "

What Yana wanted to say is that she would definitely help me if I were you.

It's a little hope.

I'm sure you'll help me if I ask for your help... "No matter how desperate the present may be, happiness will come tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

What Yana wanted to tell her friends was that hope. "But..."

"That's why... when we're all done, we'll be together..."

Words of courage, but they don't reach us.

Patty...... shook her head in silence.

"... I can't do that... I'm sorry."

It was the word of rejection that came back.

And Yana couldn't ask why.

Because Patty's face... it looked like she was going to cry somehow...

Someone was watching the situation closely.

It was Shrina who sneaked up on the two of them to make sure no one noticed.

Patty's face...... Sturina, who has captured her mind's movements with extreme accuracy, sees what she used to be.

"After all, that girl..."
