"See, Caind?"

When I stopped thinking, Lord Grants called to Caindkun so.

Caindo-kun also has a flashing face about whether he hasn't caught up with his thoughts. If Lord Grants speaks to me, I will hack and turn my gaze to Lord Grants. But I immediately bit my lips and leaned down.

"Even Princess Anisphere is not properly educated as a royalty, is she? He pulled back on the understanding that if he showed talent poorly, he could even overshadow Prince Algard's advantage. And I showed it to my surroundings by leaning towards a study called Magic. The royals behave in concealment of their talents."

"... it"

"Furthermore, I pursued the cause of my inability to use magic on my own, and even found the prospect of solving it myself. Spirituality and talent to do this from childhood. Furthermore, the invention of magical alternative technologies that can be used by civilians. Do you have any idea how unusual this is?

I feel itchy when I get complimented again.... but I pull myself off a bit when I get lined up again. I wonder if you were so afraid from the eyes around you, I want to tell myself to mind the eyes around you for a second. I can't tell you about Yufi, either, can I?

Even though that was the purpose, it makes me think it worked better than I thought it would. I'm going to have a bitter laugh at this.

"Still, Princess Anisphere can stand as king in the bend. Don't you find that talent horrible?

……

"It is a particular point to say that Princess Anisphere does not have enough character as a royalty. But that is the royal standard in the Kingdom of Palettia standards. What if she was the head of another country, or a force that could rival another country? What if I've been waging a battle to keep a palletian kingdom rich in spiritual resources in my hands? Even if civilians don't say so much about nobility, they come to exercise their magic, right?

... Ugh, yeah. That does scare you, doesn't it? I've only made magic tools from the perspective of making it convenient for everyone, but I could make something more vicious if it were to be used entirely as force.

The advantages of magic props are that they can be used by anyone and that mass production is possible as long as resources are available. And easy to handle. You just have to get used to it. If you spread it to the military, that's the only way you can get a bottom up.

Miguel did say something similar. If you look at me as a virtual enemy, you know exactly how vicious I am. Lord Grants says he was putting me in danger, but it's his own business, and I'm convinced.

Even I know the dangers of magic.... No, I guess I meant to understand. Perhaps it was more dangerous from around. I've been paying attention to the dangers of technology, but I may not have thought enough about it until after it became popular.

"Well, then why is Princess Anisphere in such a low position?!?"

"Because that's what Princess Anisphere wanted, and it was our plot. Princess Anisphere's invention is wonderful. But it can shake the very foundation of the kingdom. It took time to embrace Princess Anisphere's magic in our country, where she has developed her magical faith as the Lord. It's not enough to allow spills to other countries."

After saying all that, Lord Grants tells him to sharpen his vicious eyeballs.

"And why? Why did you say that? Caind, that's why I pointed out that my eyes were cloudy. Flushed by rumors around me, I can't use magic, I don't have enough wielding as a royalty. That's all you unconsciously look at Princess Anisphere as an understatement. That's why you can't see the secret truth about Princess Anisphere."

"Ku......!

"Being able to use magic is the symbol of aristocratic authority. This country has long flourished in its hearts with its values. Indeed Princess Anisphere is rightly heretical. But what the people want is not authority, it's merit. Don't get me wrong about that. The people find authority in their achievements because they build up their achievements. What the hell do you think you can beat Princess Anisphere right now?

Caindo-kun has fallen prey to harsh reprimands. No, Lord Grants is unforgiving......

Lord Grants turned his gaze to me as I was feeling somewhat unhappy. And I thought I closed my eyes, and I bowed my head deeply. Yeah!? Hey!?

"Gu, Lord Grants! Keep your head up!

"No. This is my mess. I was afraid of you as a child, and your fangs jeopardized your journey to the country. It is undoubtedly true that I secretly turned my hand and helped to isolate you. And now, if this country wants you, it will give you back your hands. This iniquity must be right."

"But that's only if you think of the country, right? I didn't want the country to be rough. I myself do not seek honor or status. So even if they say so..."

"... Dear Anis"

As he awoke, Yufi called me in a low roaring voice. I trembled unexpectedly.

Looking at the fearful Uffi, there was a Uffi staring at Lord Grants in his shapes until he was horrible and he was about to scream.

"... Master Anis can be angrier."

"Oh, no, even if they say I'm angry..."

I don't care if you say that. No, I'm really in trouble!? You're more angry with Yufi!? Why is Yufi angrier than I am!?

Seeing how I was still in a hurry, Yufi exhaled deeply as she rubbed her brows loose. Hey, what's up?

"That's why I'm saying you're too kind. Your father... this man is a good person for your disability, isn't he? I know it's for the country. Even if you understand, don't be so easily convinced. This man was clearly your enemy."

"And enemies are huge..."

"... No, Uffi is right. My loyalty was dedicated to His Majesty Orphanth. It was never dedicated to you. In that regard, it was difficult for you to deal with both your allies and your enemies. Therefore, it was honestly my intention to stroke my chest down that I was being held in a cage away from the palace. That's the man I thought he was. Never on your side."

"That's what politics is, isn't it? That's so angry...? No, there's something I wanted too, and I'm not so scared that I'm going to get angry..."

So Lord Grants has been treating me seriously as a political opponent since I was a kid!? That fact scares me more and I'm not talking about getting angry anymore! Stop it already! That's the total surrender of the white flag!?

"And there's no reason to argue with Lord Grants..."

"Happy for your disabling?

"So he said he wasn't dissatisfied there. And that's what royalty is all about...?

"... you surprise me at all. I have raised you from the bottom of my heart to admire your majesty and queen."

Yuffi has frowned at me looking unconvinced somewhere. Yes, that's fine. Because I'm saying I'm good. Don't be mad, you don't know what to do with me...

"... what do you say, Caind"

"... Father"

"Sometimes I don't know unless I try to exchange words. It's not a good idea just to turn hostile because you're an enemy. You have to take a good look at them and get what you get. That's what we need in the political world."

Caind-kun drops without help to Lord Grants' words. Ugh, uhh, I can't watch you for a second. Even though Magenta family communication is bad for my heart!

"But now you don't have any more reason for Kaindo-kun to make a mistake with Yufi, do you? When I'm adopted, I won't be your sister, but in the future, I just need to be active in relation to the king and his subordinates. If it was originally raised that way, it would fit in the sheath. I don't think that's a bad thing..."

So you're not just depressed like that, are you? I'm going to tell Caindo because I want to, but Caindo doesn't say anything just to look at me with a frigid eye.

Ugh, and I don't know how to treat boys my age! What am I supposed to do?

"... I was looking down on you, wasn't I?

"Huh? Oh, yeah. But don't you have a choice? It's a shame you can't use magic, isn't it?

"On the contrary, I thought it was royal defilement"

"No, it's true that it was actually disgraceful..."

"You were acting like you knew that, right? I was manipulating my impressions by putting all sorts of ideas around it."

"... well, yeah. Yeah, but."

When I answered, Kaindo-kun shook his head left and right without force. And take a deep sigh and hold your head.

"... you especially pointed out that you only saw the upper side, Father. I'm sorry for being such an impudent son."

"Uhm. The time left is short, but learn and refine. Times will change dramatically from now on. Encourage them not to be left behind by the changes of their time. Or I'll just be ashamed."

"... I'll carve it on my chest"

Kaindo-kun nodded to Lord Grants with a strange look on his face, then turned his gaze to me again and bowed his head.

"I am ashamed of our unknown. I'm sorry, Princess Anisphere."

"... ok. I'll take that apology. If you feel ashamed, I want you to do your best as successor to the Duke's family in the future. That's all I want from you."

"... Yes"

Caindo-kun squeals so that he doesn't lift his head and bites it off. I can bow my head from unexpected people today, it's somehow complicated.

I don't want you to apologize for anything. I didn't want to spread magic. If you could use it to bring the country together, it would have been worth it for me to be there.

Okay, let's settle this one down.

Pan, I slapped my hand and Mrs. Nerschel told me to get some air in.

"This is what happened today, and let's get some rest. Princess Anisphere has just returned from her journey."

"Thank you for your concern. So, which room should I rest in..."

"Oh? Can I have Yuffi's room, please?

…………

"Right?"

Right? It's not! I tried to protest unintentionally and Yufi pressured me to shut me up. Ugh...! The Duke of Magenta house scared Yikes......!

After being told to disperse, I was captured by Uffi and taken to Uffi's room. For some reason, I felt like Donna. They're going to sell it...

How did this happen!

After I was taken to Yuffi's room, I kept being pillowed by Yuffi. After the maids quickly finished dressing me, I was thrown into bed by Ufi to this day.

Yufi is holding me tight and burying my face without saying anything. I can't see the look on my face because of it. I was scattering an aura that I could see was just obviously grumpy, and I got in trouble.

I don't think I've ever seen Yuffi expose his grievances so far. I stroke my head wondering if this is also the effect of spiritualization.

"... Why isn't Anis angry?"

"Talk about that again?

I finally laughed bitterly at the words Yufi shrugged. Yuffi's dissatisfaction seems to be with what Lord Grants did to me. To be more precise, I suppose you're angry that I didn't say anything dissatisfied when it was revealed.

But you can't remember how angry Lord Grants said you were. I know you're scared. Because Lord Grants' purpose and mine are not competing. There's no place for Lord Grants to think of just chills in the fact that they were just rolling over his palms.

"... you would have been angry if I had been in Anis's shoes, wouldn't you?

"Ugh..."

... that may not be denied. But you can't be mad at something you can't be mad at, so I want you to give me a break.

"... I know. I know you're like that. But I'm anxious. That's how you keep giving in and worrying."

"... I wonder. So if we're all happy and we don't have to contend, is it sweet to think I'm happy too?

"Sweet."

"You just cut it off!?"

"First of all, if you're not happy, you can't."

Yufi's hand holds my hand. My heart bounces hard on my hand held to tangle my fingers.

Uffi's face, finally raised, was full of worry. He looks at me like he's anxiously shaking his eyes and complaining.

"Do you really think you're happy, too? You are likely to cut off even your happiness and give it to others… I know that is your virtue. But I saw your father today and changed my mind. Some people take advantage of it."

"No, I don't think you have a choice, do you? I rather admire how well you used it, because that's what my father would have done..."

"That led to your tears today, didn't it?

".................. eh"

"Don't delude me"

Yes, I'm sorry. I was as unhappy as I thought. I was aware of what I had invited myself, but if I said it wasn't hard, it was a lie!

So spare me the strength of the arms you hold tight, Yufi! Squeeze! Because I squeeze! Out! Out! There's something out there you shouldn't!

"Kyu, suddenly it's not that easy to change!

"Aren't you even going to change...?

"No, even I want to be happy with the crowd..."

"What kind of happiness is that people-like? Is that really a wish you want to fulfill from the bottom of your heart?

Asked by Uffi, I think and see about my own happiness.

The happiness I want. Thinking about it, the answer was too simple.

"It's already happening. There's someone who'll admit it, and I can use magic. There is someone who could have been saved by my magic. I could protect my smile. Even the country will be better, helping to create a new era. I'm so happy that I'm too happy."

So I'm not dissatisfied, and Yuffi's body leaves when she tries to tell me that she's holding me tight. Then Yuffi gets horseback ridden by me, and my hands are held against Yuffi's bed. Yufi's eyes, dressed to look down, were set.

What, why are you looking so dissatisfied, Yufi...?

"It's good if you say so. So this is my own selfish self."

"What, that"

"I'll be happy to drown. As much as I'd like to say I don't want to let go. I'll also push you for happiness you don't want...... are you ready?

Uffi whispers with a sneering grin. There's a chill running down my spine, but I can't escape with my hands held down. I accidentally laugh at love.

I want to be happy, too. It's not like you want to be unhappy, is it? But my happiness is that everyone is smiling. Even if I'm a little bitter or unhappy for that reason, I'm sure I won't care anymore.

But if they say I can't be happy. If you say you make me happy like this.

"I'm ready... will you not let me go?

I'm sure there's nothing more I can do. I'm drowning in you.

If I'm going to hold my breath, I want to die drowning happily ever after. You could have just been killed by Ufi.

I don't talk about it. But that's all I'm asking for and forgiving. I just wish in my heart, so please forgive me.

I must be laughing from the bottom of my heart right now. So happy. I'm already happy, Uffi.

"... Dear Anis"

Then Yufi frowned. I wonder if my heart has been distracted.

"... if you're too defenseless, you'll really squash all the way to the bone marrow."

"Hih."

Predator, I want you to stop grinning because it's really bad for your heart! My heart is hitting the early bell like an idiot. No, no, I'm not happy to be cornered! Oh, no!

But I can't run, and I don't want to. Oh, I knew I was drowning.... Oh, I don't know anymore!

"Hey, let's go to sleep! Yufi! Look, I'm tired! Hey!"

"... right"

I don't think I can escape the demon's hand in pursuit! Let's keep Yufi asleep, that way you can rest assured! Get your hands off me, Yufi, and I'll be the pillow again. Pompous slap on Yufi's back like that.

I mean it with pleasure. I'm really happy to be told, but I may not be happy well. So I hope you'll let me lean over a little.

The first day of my stay at the Duke of Magenta's house ended. Speaking of which, how long will you be staying? But I'm ready to adopt Yufi, and until then, can I rest over here? But Raini back in the outhouse, Ilia, who got me to leave a message, is also concerned.

Shall I give both of you a rest? We can rest ourselves. I'll write down a note in my heart saying I'll talk to Lord Grants and Mrs. Nerschel later.

Well, the house of the Duke of Magenta is a big splendid mansion. Plus, it makes history feel like it, so I don't get tired of just looking around.

Right now, I can behave differently from Uffi. Because Mrs Nerschel has called me. Lord Grants has official business, and then he left me behind. I don't have much time.

I decided to take a walk on the grounds of the Duke of Magenta's house because it was a good idea to see the mansion freely. So I was touring the premises.

"... ah"

"Ah."

I ran into Caindo. Kaindo-kun, who clearly had no hegemony, was in the corner of the premises as one thought. It's a little awkward.

But I can't ignore anything more than what I found.

"Er... how are you?

"... well, Princess Anisphere doesn't care."

Kaindo-kun, who shakes his neck left and right without force, seems to have completely disappeared in disobedience to me. Instead, it's scary, trying to keep me away with that attitude.

... I don't know. I don't know. I don't like that, but it overlaps. With Al. It reminds me of when Al broke up with me. Kaindo-kun now looks just like Al then.

I wonder what I was right to do then. I also pushed Al-Kun away from me trying to stay away. I thought that was for Al. But Al has stepped off the road.

I really wanted to walk down the road with you. Yet Al-Kun has already gone out of reach. If you think so, you can't ignore Kaindo-kun, and you're driven by an impulse that resembles a sense of impatience.

"It's not okay!

"... Yes?

"I don't care what you think of Caind-kun right now. So talk to me. Sometimes you can't talk when you have eyes around you, can you?

Kaindo-kun looks at me with his eyes round. But soon, I look away from him at first sight.

"Don't turn away. Lord Magenta told you yesterday, didn't he? He said he had something to gain even if his opponent was an enemy. I'm not your enemy, and I just want to talk to you because you're depressed... it's not refreshing to watch."

"... I don't like talking to you because I can poke my misery."

Caindo-kun returns it with a pointy voice.... Yeah, that's about all I need.

"Is that my fault? Maybe it's bad. I'm the one who misled you. I was acting like I was misleading you. If you say so, you can't deny it."

"If so... leave me alone"

"I threw my brother away with it."

Caindo-kun's gaze can be directed at me again. Eyes open to surprise look closely at me.

... don't even think about it for Al then. If I had my feelings in my mouth, I wonder if something had changed.

"I regret it. I regret it enough to regret it from the bottom of my heart for the rest of my life. Kaindo-kun looks just like Al right now. Some attitude like you're miserable and you think you're being looked down on from around you. I can't get my chest up, I can't admit I'm rotten."

"… so what do you say"

"Isn't it you who wants to talk? But when I think of it alone, it often doesn't look unexpected. Is it annoying that I want to talk to you?

"... annoying though"

"Oh well. Then I don't know, your annoyance. [M] I couldn't hide your feelings at the moment they realized."

Shoulder to shoulder. It's not something I could have said, either, but if I can't solve what I hold on to on my own, I end up annoying someone.

I don't want to rely, I know how it feels. But I have to rely on it. That doesn't have to be me. But I don't think Caindo-kun is right to be alone now.

"It doesn't have to be me. You should talk to someone who listens to you properly."

"... I'm not Prince Algard"

"That's right. You are not Al. [M]... so we can start over. Unlike Al."

If you won't open your heart to me, I can't help it. It makes no sense if you take care of yourself. I guess this is the limit.

Return your heels and try to leave this place. That's what I heard on my back, Caindo-kun's little voice.

"... to me Prince Algard is a traitor"

Unexpectedly, stop the leg.

"I am an unforgiving traitor who scorned my sister while being royal. I didn't understand. So you surrounded your sister, and you thought you had something in mind and you had your sister at hand."

"... well"

"... but I may have become a traitor too. You must have been really competent and on my sister's side. I couldn't believe it and exposed myself to indifference without finding out the truth… what difference does it make to Prince Algard?"

"I do. There's plenty of them."

Keep your back on Kaindo-kun, I spin the words.

"Al is not as sweet as you. I couldn't be sweet. Al is a traitor. But I made all my own decisions and I betrayed you. Expectations, roles, all of them. I don't care how bad Al is prepared to be like you."

"... you think I'm sweet?

"You should have believed Uffi, right? Al Kun had nothing to believe. myself, and around me. I'm the one who pushed him that way. So Al Kun doesn't rely on anyone, he can't even make weak noises. That's what I became."

Your father, your mother, even the ministers around you didn't believe you. I couldn't believe anything, I was just a king who was given a role and asked to do just that.

Because Al didn't have any talent. Maybe that's why it was the concern of my fathers who thought I wouldn't let them shoulder the blame that just passed.... but I don't think that's how much the despair would hurt if I realized that.

"So don't wave away. Don't close your heart. You can rely on someone because you're miserable. If the pride of nobility disturbs you, you can throw that away.... because you still have magic."

I didn't have it, because you can use the magic that I envy from the bottom of my heart. However, that fact alone gives this country a number of chances.

"I'm on your side. Even Lord Grants is tough, but I'm sure he'll wait. Mrs. Nerschel is also as talented a woman as she was studying magic. You should be able to ask your opinion. If you look up, see. Your future isn't so bright!

Spread your hands and look back. Please pass it on, with that in mind.

Kaindo-kun was looking at me. Just hold still on to me without saying anything.

I had no more words to throw, either. We were gazing at each other, but Kaindo-kun quietly lowers his head.

Deep down, without saying anything. And he walked away from the spot.... There were no more words to throw on its back.
