Tensei Oujo wa Kyou mo Hata o Tatakioru

It was midnight when we reached the royal capital.

Oh, when I arrived, the royal castle, which was sleeping, became noisy little by little. It was unwilling to prevent everyone from falling asleep, but there was no option to wait until morning.

Have your father take care of you while you are lightly dressed. The dirt was removed with the hot water provided, and the door opened with a flashy sound when I had a break. The shoulder jumps lightly to the surprise. He turned his gaze to his brother who was breathing on his shoulders.

My older brother stares at me with a scary and serious expression, without a refreshing smile that always floats. I didn't even know what to say, and a strange silence fell in the room.

My brother came running silently, staring at me. Hug me as it is. Honestly, I don't know what's going on.

He is embraced with unrelenting power and seems to be choking. When I tried to complain that it hurts, I realized. My brother's arm is shaking.

"... Hato, Nahat ...... I'm glad ..."

If it's good to be safe, squeeze out the trembling voice.

I wasn't able to release such an older brother. Put the hand you were about to peel off on your elder brother's back and tap it several times to calm it.

"I'm just back. Sorry for the worry."

"I hope she came back safely!"

The eyes of the older brother who raised his face are red and moist. I knew I was not hated, but I didn't think I was so worried.

Disagreeable. Speaking of which, I was a worried person.

When I was a child, I remembered my brother's face crying at my bedside, which had a high fever.

"You still can't leave your brother, Richt"

I was vacantly reminiscing the old days, and I was pulled back to a stupid voice.

The man standing at the doorway smiles bitterly with a neat face similar to his brother.

"That's my father. Not only did he wake up, he went to visit him, sorry ..."

"Oh, please stop. I finally came to see my son who came back. Let me hug me first."

The words of the apology were interrupted by a soft voice and hugged her brother.

"It's good to be safe. I can't turn to Amery in heaven if you have anything."

It's embarrassing to be hugged by his father even though he's not a child. However, he did not want to refuse his father who loved his mother.

Then, after talking a little bit strange, I decided to report on Grenze again.

Epidemics and sick people isolated in villages in the forest. Then, the work of Philip, the son of Margin, and Johann's decision.

And the light of hope brought by His sister, Princess Rosemary.

I was trying to make the explanation as objective and understandable as possible.

But I noticed that I was emotionally excited. The despair and hope I had tasted in a short time was too vivid. It was impossible to talk calmly. The rubbing voices in some places seemed rather hard to hear, but my father and brother silently listened to me.

My father sinks deeply on a single sofa made of mahogany and dark brown leather. At first glance, his father folded his arms on his long legs and closed his eyes. But I don't doubt he's listening to me. By the way, my brother is listening to me with a good posture with his back straight, but maybe about half of it is already flowing out of the other ear.

When my talk is over, my father slowly opens his eyes.

"……So that's it"

The muttering voice is low and hard.

"It seems that my judgment has been so slow that it has plagued many people."

I don't know what to say to my father who tells me to regret.

Grenze epidemic and deforestation are probably causal.

If the forest had restrictions on logging before it was cut down, the disease might not have spread.

However, the marginalized people who have been playing a role as a defense base despite being threatened by the neighboring country Skelz had a disadvantage. I can't blame my father for resisting the peace I have finally gained and a foothold for affluent life.

Even if you know that politics shouldn't put your personality in between.

"father……"

"But now is not the case for regret and remorse. Let's respond quickly."

My father says that and stands up.

"First of all, we need to arrange food and supplies. Oh, and some people who are medically savvy, including doctors and pharmacists. I need to find a person who can leave the whole west. The treatment and investigation of Philip von Gearster are temporarily suspended ... "

"Father. I go to Grenze first."

"Nahat?"

My brother, not my father, looks down at me with my eyebrows lowered.

I don't want to make my older brother with clinging eyes more anxious. But you can't. I promised I would return.

"I have to return with my friends and benefactors."

"... But, Nahat!"

"Richt, stop it."

Father puts his hand on shoulder of brother who tried to bite.

"But my father. If I approach the forest and get sick ..."

"There are princes and princesses in the dangerous forest?"

"Well, that's it."

"Even though it's not something we can do for the people of our country ... they're trying to save the lives of our neighbor, Vint. How precious and rare is it?"

Strong light shines on the eyes of my father who is calm like a calm lake.

"Don't betray those people who have such a big fortune. Richt. If you're honest and straight, you know?"

"……Yes"

My brother frowned for a moment, but after blinking slowly, turned up. He looked straight at his eyes and replied, and his father narrowed his eyes satisfactorily and nodded.

Then he arranged for the outside guard to call the Prime Minister and Knight of the Guard, and returned to his room again.

I have to leave the room soon and be ready for Grenze.

I thought so and tried to greet my father and brother.

, Before that, my father approached me. I put my hands on my ears and approach my face like a secret story.

"Hey, Nahat. I'm a little worried. Can I ask?"

"……? What'll we do"

"I don't want you to get angry at what you're thinking at this time, right?"

Nodding while tilting your head in front of an unknown meaning.

"Did you fall in love with the Princess of Nebel?"

"……What!?"

For a moment, I didn't know what was being said.

Who is in love with who?

I wanted to shout at the people to make them ridiculous, but I could bear it. For now, this is a monarch of a country. Be patient, me.

"Because you're too bright to talk about your princess. And even now, your face is red?"

"This is a bit surprising, because you say that it's so outrageous ... and it's not really that."

Rub your cheeks that seem to be red with the back of your hand and exhale.

It was a beautiful person.

Eyes that harbor strong light are more than their appearance.

But. No, why?

I didn't think I was a good person to have such feelings in love. The light of salvation that appeared with dawn was too dazzling. I couldn't touch it, it seemed even sacred.

"Is that so? If you and your princess are united, I think it's a happy thing for both countries and for us."

"A dwarf man like me is the other person ... I'm sorry. And ..."

"in addition?"

Dad looks at me to urge me, who interrupted her words on the way.

But I shook my head without saying more.

"No, nothing."

I remember him who was a regular guard before the castle.

When I finished delivering me safely to the royal capital, I immediately returned my horse neck and disappeared in the darkness, so that I missed the rest.

You may be worried about Johan who has left the forest, but that's not the only reason he is impatient.

I don't mean to guess what he said, “the light of my hope”.

However, remembering the red face of Her Royal Highness in front of him, it was also a fact that she was worried about what she could simply do with the term trust.
