"I wonder when you and Al were decidedly broken up. It was just before Yufi and I decided to get engaged. Or maybe you can say that my fault has led me to an engagement with Uffi"

"Huh? Really?

Yufi stared at my face with a decent face. You didn't know what was going on around there.

"As it turns out. At the time, Yuffi was chosen because she was good, but it was definitely my fault that she decided to choose her fiancée."

"How can Princess Anisphere cause this?

"Hmm... I didn't mean to, hey"

Raini's question is natural. When people really ask me why that happened, all I can say is that it turned out.

"I thought Al was after my life."

"... what?

"Fact is, you said you were about to kill me... you said you were about to let me die..."

"How could that happen!?"

Uffi was distracted by the facts I told him. But I'm gonna get my mind back on it right away and get the scratch on it. I think such a reaction would be the best. No, really. Even I think so.

"I didn't mean any of that. I was just an idiot back then. My sister wanted to please my brother, and I took Al out on a trip."

"Oh, I've had a fugitive habit since then..."

"I've already been famous since then. I was too young to do my best, and I was really rushed back."

Whether Ilia remembers what happened at the time, she groans in a bitter voice. No, I'm really sorry about that verse...

"So I took Al to the woods. I wanted to get my own Spirit Stone, and I felt light-hearted to teach Al the knowledge I'd never seen to get out of it as much as I thought it would be fun. Now that I think about it, I'm too young to laugh."

"... have you been studying magic since then?

"Yeah, I couldn't help but do what I came up with. That's why I used to get Al involved a lot. I made him cry a lot, and we laughed a lot together. That's why I was wrong."

"... a mistake, is it?

"Mistake...... no, you're not. I was ignorant. I didn't think properly about my responsibilities as a royalty or my surrounding eyes. That's what happened because I'm an idiot."

If I close my eyes, I can still remember that time vividly. Because it was still the last time I was dating Al, my sister and my brother.

He was somewhere weak and hesitated to follow me if I gave him my hand, Al. Yes, that day was just as usual. Nothing was going to change, a little adventure.

"We went into the woods and tried to get the Spirit Stone, and we ran into demons."

"... eh"

Breathtaking as Raini ceased to say to me. When you say you ran into a demon at a young age without a guard, it's natural, but breathtaking, isn't it?

"Two royal children got out and were attacked by demons. Really, you've done something stupid."

"You were well safe..."

I shook my neck left and right to Raini, who whimpered with a cliché. It seems to deny Raini's words.

"I was safe."

"... something happened to Master Algard?

"I've been defenseless since that time, and even Al's sister was aware of it. It's my responsibility to take you out on that. I dealt with the demon myself and told Al to run away. Al ran away without defying me."

I've never cursed my recklessness because it's my responsibility. I regretted so much that I should have gotten out on my own even if I wanted to.

That's why I thought I had to protect Al. I didn't care that I couldn't use magic. I was also fortunate to be collecting spiritual stones. I managed to survive against demons using spiritual stones with all my hardships.

"I was immediately protected by a knight who rushed to hear the noise. But I couldn't find Al."

"... were you attacked by another demon?

"No, that's not the point. If I simply hid to hide myself, my discovery would be delayed. I ran around the woods without asking myself to look for it. So, I'm the one who found Al."

"Is that the cause of the misconduct......?

"That too, but I think maybe that was the problem afterwards. At that time, I was pimping with no injuries, so I was simply happy to find Al."

"... what the hell did you do?

"I didn't do anything."

I smile bitterly at Yuffi's questionable questions. I wonder if the suspicion that I did something is something that you would think so if you knew me. I won't deny it, though.

But I really did that day. I'm just really glad Al's okay.

"I guess it's because I was pimped. If I had been slightly injured, I might have been able to explain it. Someone told me. Anisphere tried to assassinate Algard."

Yufi and Raini breathed in the words I told them. I keep the conversation pale without worrying about how you two are doing.

"I was pimped, and I was the first to be discovered by a knight. Someone told me that's why I set it up. I said I wasn't, but it's not easy to wipe away the perception that spread once. And I had a motive."

"Is that a motive?

"We all knew I had been obsessed with magic since that time. That's why you tried to kill Al when you were jealous."

There is no smoke in the absence of fire. I mean, I was seen with the right motive. I couldn't use magic, and I was obsessed with magic. I thought you were jealous of Al Kun, who could use magic.

Except if you think so around me when I say I'm different. Even though I was a weirdo. It was even more offensive because I had a sense of consciousness. They even thought it was madness, so naturally some doubted if what I said was true.

"So I realized I was a child with the right to inherit the throne. He said he might pull Al-Kun's leg just because I'm around. That's why I thoroughly crushed the factors that make Al your political enemy."

"... does that lead you to declare you're not engaged"

"I was desperate to get rid of the thought of him trying to kill me because of his desire for the throne and his jealousy for Al. It was more convenient because they thought I was crazy from around. There were times when Al was cute, but I didn't want to get caught up in such a hassle and be unable to study it."

"Oh, that was already the usual Princess Anisphere there..."

Well, because that's me. Because my magical obsession is a wish that has been on my backbone since the day I became one.

That's why I wanted to have magic in my hands. That was just it. It's not like I wanted to interrupt Al's becoming king, and I didn't want Al to die.

"It worked. I did the impotence, but it did what I wanted. Now no one wants me to be a king, or a king's wife. That's why I told Al you don't have to worry anymore. I thought it would be better if I stayed away until my suspicions cleared, and now I can finally apologize."

"... did you apologize?

"I apologized. But he didn't have ears to listen to. I guess it was too late or I couldn't take it back anymore. So I think whatever you did was in vain."

I think our differences were decided that day when we took Al Kun out into the woods.

"Al wasn't suspicious of me. It's not there. Me and Al are the cause of this mismatch."

"Then why did Algard get along with Anisphere?

"I overdid it. I shut my father and mother up too much. I did what I could for it. At the time, I won my freedom even by tapping on the achievements of a handful of magic studies. Kids beat the shit out of adult-face losers. What do you think of that?

"... abnormal, right"

"Yes, it's an anomaly. From Al Kun's point of view, I was a madman. And he had the head and action of an adult-faced loser. Al said this. Whether my sister wants it or not, she wants to kill me. Someone told me my sister was good. They said I couldn't do it.... Don't play witch mountain. We're talking."

Ha ha. The vain zero laughter was less powerful than I thought.

I can't forget the look on Al's face distorted by fear and despair.

"Nobody. He compared me to Al. Where I forfeited my inheritance, you didn't take it the way you wanted me to. Al Kun had me in the monster. Being alone had made me a monster that took away everything, my place, my value. 'Cause the right to inherit the throne I threw away was something I took for granted, and they recognized me as threatening it. No matter how much I tell you I'm going to be king."

Am I laughing? I mean, I'm laughing when I'm talking about this, but I don't often see it that way. Fact is, I can't laugh, so maybe it comes naturally to my face.

"No matter how much I wished for Al Kun's future, I couldn't get my hands on it. He said he could take the throne if I wanted. He said that if I could only use magic, I wouldn't be worth it. I was just born a man, I could just use magic. It's inferior to me. That I should be king. I'm the enemy."

I distanced myself from Al because I thought it would be good. That gave Alkun enough time to breathe in what he didn't need.

And all that remained was the result that we became nominal sisters and brothers. I went on the path to the exploration of magic, and Al-Kun was to be taken on the path to the king.

"Because of my overdoing, Al Kun became desirable for a lot. An excellent queen who can guide her country through her qualities as a royal family by stretching her magical talents that I do not possess to replace magic. I pulled myself back to say it was for Al, but I thought I'd like it because it was already a hassle. That's why I like it. Being king doesn't bother me, he doesn't want to. He said we're not getting involved anymore."

"... so you broke up?

"There were many reasons, but think that no one would think of me as a king if I didn't pull away and fulfill my duty as royalty. In fact, he's gone. It didn't matter to me anymore. I was thinking about getting out of this country."

In fact, I think if it weren't for your father and your mother, you would have left the country. My father and mother respected my freedom and stopped me from connecting. I don't blame Ilia, my only trusted squire, for doing adventurous or angry residence. He even gives me a budget.

It was not a legitimate family relationship, but it connected a relationship that seemed to break off like a boss and subordinate. Then I grew up too. Compared to when I was a kid, I could tell.

"Well, I said it heavily. Is it heavy now? Until a little while ago, we were thinking," We're not good at each other, and we had a lot to do with it. "

"... oh, so you had a mild attitude about not being so serious"

"It also meant posing. Because Al won't like you, and I thought it would be a hassle to get involved."

"I'm going to have a little trouble figuring out if you're thinking about it or not..."

No, I think you're both right. Based on that, I just chose not to worry.

I didn't mean to help Al when he told me he wanted to be king, and I thought it was something that would be on his own. Whatever you say around you, your father and mother will do something about it.

Well, that's broken, too. Yeah? Can't this be funny? No, that's not funny. Al, can we roll back from here, really?

"... I'm sorry I was born..."

"Hey Raini!? Sister, you didn't blame me that much, or it was just really a bad time!?"

Sure, Raini is the one who smashed the situation so far fixed!? Don't look far with dead eyes. Look at me, Raini!

"But without me..."

"Maybe so, but that's why I can't admit what Al did. At a time when I had not taken formal steps to break my engagement with Yufi. Even Raini is a force majeure."

"... Yes"

"In the first place, it could be my fault for pushing you into such a situation. I don't know Al. Because I can't figure it out for you anymore."

That only makes me a little, no, very guilty.

If I could hold hands with Al like I did at a young age. Maybe there was a future where everyone could laugh.

It's so hard to do that, I can't take it back anymore. Still, I can't help but think.

I never noticed Uffi staring at me all the time, trying not to appear on my face.
