"... hello...? Um... Your Royal Highness Prince Leon, I brought you a meal.

I can hear a light girl like the sound of a bell....? Looks like she's not the usual samurai...

I can't believe the door always opens on its own. The Lord of that voice does not try to come in after knocking or for long. I keep calling my name repeatedly with His Royal Highness Prince Leon all the time while I give in in the corner of my bed. To that voice, which seems anxious and modest, I wonder if it might be a new samurai.

"Um... the usual samurai can't come along the way. So I brought you a meal instead.... think it would be better to eat while it's warm.

I don't care how many times you ignore me. I'll give you a voice in my room. While it's warm, my God.... I've never even thought of a meal as delicious, even though it's long gone.

But if we don't open the door, she's gonna be there forever. I tried to raise my voice out of bed and direct it,...... my rubbed voice trembled and wasn't good. I haven't heard from anyone in a long time. [M] I'm even afraid to call you through the door now. If she asks me about this word, my fiancée,... she could kill me again.

As soon as I thought so, my hand shuddered as I got scared and grabbed my knee. Strengthen, pull your skin, and desperately indulge.

No, no, I'm frightened, I'm frightened. People are,... frightened.

But that samurai keeps calling out to me for ever. I could hear him leaking to himself sometimes wondering if he was asleep or not.

I approach the door step by step, desperately curbing tremors. I hung my hand on the door and slowly pulled it off when the key wasn't tightened from the start. Along with the sound of the low door fittings, I try to hide behind the door and pull myself together. I wish the samurai would just leave the dishes in her room like this. The first thing I noticed was the beautiful golden hair of a samurai who came inside to be a little afraid.

I wish he'd left it on the floor, but the samurai came further into the back of the room as it was. He carefully put my meal on the table, sounding Gasha and Gasha over and over again, not used to carrying the meal as he advanced to the table in the back.... Looking at the outfit, she didn't seem to be a samurai. The girl, dressed in a moveable dress, looked around the room, shaking her golden hair.... wonder who it is.

But whatever it was, it was when I was relieved that I was just going home after this.

"Um... Leon,... Prince, Your Highness..."

The girl came closer to me... hiding behind the door.

Why should I just go home now...

Fear makes no voice, and holds the handle of the door. The girl approached me, trying to pinch herself against the shadows and walls. [M] Why, why, why are you here...?

Don't. Don't. Don't come. Trembling in my heart screaming, the girl finally peered softly into me from the gap.

Once "Geez..." the girl leaks a scream. It would be a natural reaction if you saw me for the first time. [M] It's so bumpy that I can't see my face with my hair stretched out, even my shirt and pants that I get wrinkled every day are wrinkled and messed up while I scratch on my own frightened. There is no way you can imagine a person dressed as a lower class being in such a splendid castle in itself.

I'm relieved that she was a few steps away from me. I was wondering if you would keep running away from me,... and she approached me again.

He lays his hand on the door and walks up to me, step by step, in the clearance of the wall, with no escape. He peered softly at me and approached me, not moving with his face facing her while standing on the bar. I would have screamed earlier not to come rambling, but... in front of me, she was the only one... strange, I didn't think I was scared anymore.

Hiccups, cute round golden eyes pointed at me, long golden shaking hair shining in a slight sunlight.

"Prince Leon... Your Highness, right...?

A little frightened, she asks me.

Without words, I nodded at her only once. [M] There's no longer any point in hiding in the shadow of the door, and I'll let go of my hand and close the door. I was supposed to leave her inside the room, but instead I was able to escape, too. I try to go through the empty gap by closing the door and distance myself from her again.

... Why, what is it? I thought you were so scared. Only she feels no wonder and no fear at all.

She says, "Um..." to me as I begin to distance myself. Listening to her voice, which looked a little nervous, she kept talking.

"Wah, I... my name is Tiara...! I haven't been here for a long time. But I finally got forgiveness the other day! Well, I've always wanted to say hello. It's so good to see you like this......!

Seeing me like this seems narrow, I'm still amazed at her for happily playing her voice.

Even though I was frightened earlier, I now had a delightfully glittering look at me.... it's as warm an eye as the people pointed at me when I went down to the old castle.

I miss it and suddenly my chest tightened tightly. When has it been the first time I've gotten this kind of look? Incredibly, she is truly delighted to have met me.

Tiara...... I've heard someone in the castle rumor. Sure,... of this country, the Second Princess.

Gosh, and suddenly a chill runs from my body. The second princess, that is her sister, my fiancée.

"That, I'm the second princess of this country. This is your sister. So I'm so glad to see His Royal Highness Prince Leon, who is my fiancée and I can show you this!

A girl who shouldn't have been surprised and scared until just now suddenly overlaps with her figure.

The golden swinging hair stains bright red in my head, pulling up like my mouth rips. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

"Um, if I'm not offered, may I call you brother-in-law...? Me, I've been in the tower far away and I'm glad to have more family like this"

"No...... Huh! No, no, no, no... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

She curled her eyes at my cry as it lit up.

Gatan, and I kick the chair I was about to sit on with my heels and fall to the floor. She looks at me worried, and now she just seems to be laughing.

Go home, go home, even summon me to leave, and if I waved her left and right desperately, she opened the door herself as she panicked and walked out of the room. Keeping staring at the well-momentum closed door with a roughened breath, tonnes and knocks are sounded again.

No way, now if I were smaller enough to hug my shoulders and hide my head on the spot wondering if the real girlfriend really came,... I could hear her like the sound of a bell just now again.

"Um....... sorry. After all, it was annoying to call me my brother. I said something unsolicited.... eat, eat before it gets cold.

A sad voice came to me gently.... No, I don't like being called my brother. I'm just scared of her blood and its shadow.... Oh, I'm a sucker. Even though she's not bad at all.

Self-loathing swirled terribly, continuing to follow until I could no longer hear her footsteps as she retreated far away. How dare I say such a kind word to someone like me again?

Already... I'm not me anymore. These days I don't even like my brother Elvin and Homer, who come here from time to time to see how things are going, and I don't like them and I get scared.

More and more the presence of "I" is falling out. I can't help but be afraid of everything anymore. No one's ever seen me like this again.

'I've always wanted to say hello. It's so good to see you like this......!

... glad, he said.

He said he was happy to see me like this. He turned to me with a smile like the people of Anemone, like the light of a warm sun.

……

Second, look at the meal placed on the table.

I can't get up and use my hands and feet to walk over to the table like an animal. Going close, it smelled slightly better. Have you ever smelled anything like this before?

Reach out, grab the edge of the table and stand up slowly. When I peeked in, there was no hot air, but I felt the temperature slightly after holding my hand. If I took the spoon and carried the warmest looking soup to my mouth, I warmly dampened it through my dry mouth.

"Hey... do you...?

I don't know how it tastes. But somehow they thought that was delicious. Remembering her words earlier, she doesn't even sit in her seat and spoons them as they are, continuing to carry them to her mouth.

The inside of the body, which should have cooled off, was lit by heat one by one, and... my heart was soothed. Think of it, I'm reminded of her gentle smile earlier, and it's all about her as she carries the food to her mouth.

... You couldn't apologize...

Thanks for carrying the meal, I need to apologize for startling you.

As soon as she found out with the Queen's sister, she was scared and all fear prevailed. Even a doll like me has a fine brother named Elvin and Homer. To a fine father and mother's son, … I should have known it had nothing to do with that person, such as the connection of blood, as something like me had been born.

... I want to apologize. I've always had a terrible attitude towards many samurai, but for some reason, I just want to apologize to her again.... it seemed so strange to want to see you.

But... I'm sure I won't see you. Never again. Because I said something so terrible, and I had a terrible attitude.

When I thought so, I didn't know how delicious it tasted like I was chewing sand again. But I forced myself to swallow the soup to sustain my life, and I tore the bread off. I... have to stay alive.

I'm dying, little by little.

It becomes a queen's toy and dies in this room just to entertain her.

"... tiara.

Sure, a princess who was allowed to leave the tower of separation because she had decided to be engaged to some prince or something.... Good, she can get away from this country if she decides to fiancée. You'll be happy out of the Queen's reach.... but.

... What if she didn't want to leave the country?

Like me.

The moment I thought so, my chest ached suddenly.

Unexpectedly drop the bread, hold the chest with both hands and squat. Tears seeped out of my eyes as the pain when I left the country opened before suffering pushed me over to eat and bind my teeth. Poof, Poof. and tears wet the floor and bread.

"Huh...................................................................................................................

... I want to go home.

To the kingdom of Anemone, I want to meet the people.

I miss you so much, I miss you so much, but... I can't see you anymore. Never again, I can't even step on the land of my country.

"Ahhhhhhh... ahhh.... ahhh...

Also, the toothpick stopped working.

Something I ate impulsively is going to lift me out of my stomach, and I can hold my mouth with both hands. Groaning, crying, my body rattling and trembling. Probably won't stop again for a while.

Someone, someone, someone, someone...

Stop this tremor, and fear this suffering.

……… grieve.

……

"... hey, Leon, what the hell are you doing?"

... all of a sudden, I wake my eyes trying to get hit with words.

I rub my eyes and raise my face from the way I stuck it against my desk. Apparently, he was falling asleep. The rubbed fingertips were wet and seeped to tears a little. Her throat was also ragged like it rubbed upwards, and maybe she was a little stuck.

The work paperwork was spread slightly because of my underlay.... I've never slept at work before.

Did you feel relaxed because you only looked at the material after the important documents, … or because you were worried about Pride recently and had a shallow sleep?

I look back at the window as I get my hands on the documents that have spread. The sun was already calm and past the afternoon. If I looked at the clock, would it have been about twenty minutes since I slept? Think that far, and I'll turn to him for speaking up. [M]

"... sorry, sounds a little sleepless.... How was Sefek?

Sitting on the floor of my room, I give a voice to Val and Sefek staring at me.

Sefek replied just one word, "I didn't have a problem with that," and with her hands in restraint, she was leaning next to Val to forgive. Next to it, a doctor was examining Chemetho's head.

Before noon today, they were suddenly evacuated to me by Prince Steele's special abilities, and they were ordered to wait in my room until Prince Steele picked them up again.

Apparently he was protected by boulders. I was also worried about leaving them and leaving the room, and after I took lunch with them in the room, I was asked to quickly roll over my plans outside the castle to tomorrow. I did the inspection under the castle yesterday as well as the trade confirmation, and there should be no big problem with making today's share tomorrow.

I also spoke to my father and mother to some extent to obtain permission and formally invited the three of them into my room.

After serving the meal, Sefek and Chemetho seemed to have been violenced by Pride if we listened to them looking a little calm. When Sefek heard he was in the stomach and Chemetho hit his head, I quickly called the castle doctor.

They both insisted that they were fine because they were used to getting beaten up, but Val told them to take it anyway because they were free and they both went through a check-up. I'm used to getting beat up, but I caught a little bit of a snag and saw Val, but from the way he was guiding us both around, it didn't seem like him, no matter what. He distorted his face uncomfortably in my gaze, pointing out the contract, "Can I hit you?"... Maybe he wouldn't be violent with them without a contract right now.

Even after Prince Stayle disappeared, he was sure of something after rubbing their necks over and over again, once again making sure they were safe. His fingertips, which distorted his expression bitterly, were slightly trembling. Besides, because his distorted expression didn't clear at all when Sefek and Chemetho spoke up that it was okay for both of us. When the two of us got back together gradually from around finishing the meal and calling the doctor, the word count always increased from him to an extent.

"Hey! See Val after Chemetho, too. You were kicked in the head!

"I don't know what happens when you get kicked in the leg of a bitch. Don't be shy with Temee and the others.

What! And Sefek bit Val's words, and flew the water from close range to his face. For not being able to use his hands well, the water twisted out of his wrist hit his jaw and went straight up like a fountain. When Val stared at Sefek, who wet his face, he wiped it out with the dry clothes part. "Can I borrow a cloth or something?" Chemetho said to me when she saw the doctor.

"Cloth... or, if you like, let me get you dressed though. Why don't we all get dressed?

Of course, after I've managed that restraint. And I add: I'm not familiar with special abilities, but if they're not restraints, I can probably handle them with Prince Steele's special abilities.

They've been dressed the same almost every time for a long time. I know it's to minimize the baggage, but they throw it away when they change it to new as much as they can. Then the clothes are getting pretty worn out now, and Val said no before the two of us, "I don't want it." As soon as I did, Sefek gave me a great deal of momentum and said, "Why not! That's not good." he exclaimed.... I guess I accidentally smile that she's an old girl too.

"All the clothes Temehe makes you prepare are too challenging, Leon.

Val, ignoring Sefek's words and staring at me, shook his body as he sat down and ran out of words.

Previously, a popular clothing store in Wangdu offered a lot of prototypes to the castle in order to thank them for their prosperity. At that time, I was very disapproved of Val, although I would have liked Sefek if he had offered a few clothes to the three of us if they were the right size. Chemetho didn't care, but it was certainly something that divided good and bad as a male preference, and clothes that were too brilliant to be suitable for a long journey.... Well, me too, Sefek and Chemetho aside, although it's true that I tried recommending him to react after thinking he was hopeless as to whether he liked it or not.

"That seems enthusiastically popular to some... It's okay, because this time I'll make sure I have a normal one.

Anything moveable would be good, wouldn't it? Speaking of which, Sefek and Chemetho turned their sparkling gaze at Val for the word new clothes. Take it. He sighs like he gave up. If I scratched Gashigashi's head and told him to "take it personally," Chemetho, who was in the examination as well as Sefek, raised his voice and rejoiced. "Wouldn't it be the same if I wore a hood anyway," he said small to the two delighted. Though I shouldn't have had any trouble with the money.... They don't have an item called stylishness in the use of his money.

"Why don't you take a bath and brush your body anyway? If you're going to wear beautiful clothes, it feels better.

Suggest as you speak to the ladies outside the room.

Val would definitely say no, so if you dare throw it at Cefek and Chemeth, "I'd be good with Chemeth" and "If it's Cefek, please!" The reply came back. They're both heterosexual, but they don't like being surrounded by adults on their own rather than being seen by each other. I made sure Val didn't just tell me to take it personally and then asked the maid to do the same.

Probably can get you ready before your clothes do. Throw the towel borrowed from the samurai straight to Val and he wiped his face from his head with one hand.

At the end of Chemetho's examination, now the two of us began to complain that Val should also be examined. Val was forced by the two to pull and stretch her clothes as she carved a wrinkle between her brows that annoyed her. The doctor walked over himself when he heard it and started examining me, a little frightened by his vicious looks. I didn't need it, but the two of us pinched me from both sides, and I answered the doctor's question very adultly because I couldn't seem to help it.

I'm relieved that the three of them, who looked terrible when they showed up here, are getting back to their usual condition this way.

Chemetho had apparently lost his mind, but Sefek, who was conscious, seemed rather frightened by pride leopards at first. Although Val still doesn't seem to have told the two of us about his contract with Pride,...... at least in an earlier conversation with Prince Steele, we would have learned that Pride tried to use Val to kill ourselves.

At the time of the meal, all three of them were unable to eat because of it at first. Sefek and Chemetho in particular seemed irresistible to the inability to use both hands to bite on bread and spoons handed to Val, but didn't seem to feel like eating much about it.

But he's doing a lot better now. While I still can't sort out my feelings or grasp the situation, I think they can really succeed in acting the way they normally do.... Although Val is probably the one who is most forced to do it.

That was when Val also went to see him until he was ready to get dressed and eventually got word from the doctor that all three were fine.

"... excuse me. Thank you very much for waiting.

Prince Leon. And a familiar voice pops in. The doctor raised his voice to the presence of the person who suddenly appeared. Apologizing for the surprise, he told me to stop and thank him and the doctor asked him to leave the room. Pathan, and I laughed at him again after he shut the door.

"I've been waiting for you, Prince Steele.......... that was tough.

Dropping a dark shadow with a non-floating expression, he bowed his head to me before returning his words. This time I started apologizing for the inconvenience, so I turned it down from my side and encouraged the conversation.

An important story about pride.
