"His Royal Highness Prince Cedric! Rinse because they're leaving already?
... she calls me.
Looking back, I looked to the voice and there was a woman there as I had hoped. I shake the dress with thin, white feet, and I call her name as she rushes over.
Pepper and her head lowered small, she asked me again after getting her bounced breath ready for the rush.
"Are the wounds ready yet? I wish they would go more slowly......
"Oh, the wound was completely healed thanks to the treatment of the special abilities.... Thank you for all your help.
Thank you and thank you from me.
She lowered her brow with regret, but returned it with only a grin. It would have been too much if they had allowed me to stay in the castle until the wounds healed from the riots of a week ago. She keeps saving me. Besides,... I still have some work to do.
"I want to report to my brother as soon as possible. Said peace in the country was preserved..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
"What...! What... that, I am"
"Dear Tiara, were you here?... This is, Your Highness, Prince Cedric.
Words came out of one man like we were going to have a conversation.
Both Princess Tiara and I look back at him as he walks over in graceful motion.... Whoo-hoo, it's him. I give thanks to him as he turns his grin in a hectic manner not to forgive my light-heartedness.
It was meant to be a mild joke, but they asked me to look at it because of its hegemony. Fiercely reflecting on his indiscretion, he tightened it so that it didn't just appear on his expression. Though I have involved the Kingdom of Friesia, I am the Prince of the United Hanazoo Kingdom. You can't keep your hips too low on him.
I called his name and offered him my hand with my greeting. He grinned and shook his hand, bowing his head respectfully as he had formally done.
"Thank you very much for this time, Your Highness Prince Cedric. I definitely hope to have a good relationship in the future. Please stay in the Kingdom of Friesia again at any time.
With that said, he enters between me and her to protect nature and Princess Tiara.
Princess Tiara was grinning like trouble peeking into his face from behind. The awkwardness and panic seemed to be rubbing his mind that he might be angry.
I'm very grateful to him myself. Thanks to him and Princess Tiara, not only the Kingdom of Friesia, but also our country was saved. Laughing from me, too, paying tribute to him. I am second only to Princess Tiara to take on that evil queen...
"Thank you, Chancellor Gilbert.... Thanks to your skill, our country has been saved again.
No, not at all. and a cool grin he was different from when we first met.
I heard he was a good special ability man, but he was an old man, and now he was turning into a young man. Being a beautiful man with long cut eyes and thin watery hair, he seems to be what he is now. I asked him how old he was, but he didn't make me feel that year. With his slurring stretched back and adult elegance, he apparently spent the past two months hiding Tiara, who had escaped under the castle.
Princess Tiara's Birth Festival. The day before I was supposed to be introduced as my fiancée to Tiara, she escaped the tower of separation.
When I was informed of it by the followers of the kingdom of Friesia, it was as if they had cut off the thread of hope. Because my role was to put her in love and kill her with this hand. Instead of falling in love, there's nothing we can do about getting away with it before we meet. When the kingdom of Sursis is invaded as it is, and fallen into a slave-producing country. Hated Princess Tiara, who wouldn't even know her face if she noticed, and... appeased.
Now, we have to kill her.
Killing a person who is not guilty, even though that queen's sister, etc. I stayed in the kingdom of Friesia, and while I was waiting for my fateful day in my own room, I wasn't really ready either.
The reward of her escape was filled with despair and relief. Even during the search, the fate of the kingdom of Sursis was at stake, but there was me waiting for the news that I had found her, and me frightened by it.
Then two months later, the queen told me it was her "last chance." I was summoned to the Queen's room with Prince Leon, the Style Regent, the Knights Commander and even the Crown Prince of the Hate Radiya Empire. The smell of blood emanating from the queen after killing all the upper layers with their hands filled the room, and even more red stained the luxurious floor. I even nauseated at the smell of death reminiscent of a year ago.
Defense of hidden passages.... It was my new role to finish off the hate backcutter who appears in the hidden passage with them and to devote Princess Tiara alive and before the queen. I was surprised that not only I, but even my fiancée, Prince Leon, treated me like a soldier.
"It's enough on my own," said Crown Prince Adam, who named himself. Then each of us stood there in a bunch of pieces. Once I realized I was afraid of the Queen's orders, and I tried to say no, "If you don't do it, just let Joan do it," and if they took me hostage, not only in the Kingdom of Sursis, but even my brother, I had no choice.
I kept praying to my chest pendant not to show up in front of me, waiting for the sword in one hand in place.... I also knew it was an ugly wish. I mean, I didn't just hope they didn't get to this aisle. I wish someone had killed me before I got my hands dirty.
But she showed up.... Chancellor Gilbert and as we hold hands with each other.
At first I didn't even know who he was. I even thought of him as a relative or someone, not him, to a look that was only matched by hair, eye color, clothing, etc., but too different.
Relatively, when I laid my sword on them ready that there was only one choice left: to be killed by him or to kill him. Revealing himself to be the Chancellor's Gilbert, he threw his words as if he had filled a gap in my thoughts that stunned me.
Together, I thought we might stand up to stop the queen.
Already the Radiya Empire fled to waste its life. Both Prince Leon and the Knight Commander have been persuaded to wait for me. Moreover, at the dawn of the defeat of the Queen, we must free the kingdom of Sursis from the control of the Kingdom of Friesia, restore the kingdom of China from the Radian Empire and spare no effort in its reconstruction.
It was a wish or an offer.
Naturally, I also suspected traps and falsehoods. I thought it might be a convenient lie to get through this place. But... for some reason his words were powerful enough to even turn white into black. When I realized it, I was the one who was forced to convince and believe me.
Furthermore, it was a compelling factor that Prince Leon had already refrained behind the two with a vain eye. While Chancellor Zilbert was trying to negotiate with me, Prince Leon didn't even show any signs of trying to poke a gap, even though they were turning their backs on him. The Knights chief hurried back to the Knights practice field to lead the revolution to the Knights, and Prince Leon was also persuaded by Chancellor Gilbert to follow.
And even the last gateway, the Style Regent, he persuaded. Regent Style said, "It's okay. It doesn't matter how much you carry, even if you can't move, with instant travel," he declared, suddenly poking his sword at himself. We only gave him first aid, and we finally got to the queen.
With Prime Minister Jilbert's brilliant extraction, we buried the evil queen at the bottom of every tower without a single one missing or dirty hands directly. Prime Minister Gilbert, who heard from Prince Leon that the end of the hidden passage was the torture tower, was instantly making a brilliant extraction.
While I was fighting against the Queen and buying time, I had the Knights, led by the Knights Commander, surround the tower and send the bomb to the Queen in an instant move to Regent Style at a specified time as "relief supplies". And as soon as I evacuated across the same stone bridge as Prime Minister Jilbert and the others, Prince Leon sniped and blew up the bomb I had presented.
Because it was a small bomb, it didn't reach us right across the stone bridge, but it didn't harm the queen who jumped instantly. But the tower, aged by its shock, screamed more. She was the queen who tried to escape by jumping from the tower before being drunk on every scaffold, but it also fell without fulfillment to a backup shooting from the determined Knights and a remote attack by special abilities.... It was all due to the exploitation of Chancellor Jilbert, who had been calculated to be perfect.
They haven't found the queen's body yet, but it's harder to keep the prototype in place with that massive collapse. If they hadn't found it for a week, they'd definitely see it dead.
The revolution and the crusade of the wicked queen, the whole country sprung up at the beginning of a new queen and age. Three days and three nights and the festivities continued to mention the country, and the people sang about freedom and liberation. I was wounded in a battle with the Queen to buy time, and I took care of myself until today to continue my treatment and stay for a week. And in that week, finally, I...
I met Princess Tiara.
Correctly, we haven't met by the final showdown with the Queen.
But that's when we started talking to each other. Because she disappeared before I was introduced as my fiancée.
She came to me every day to visit the garden flowers as souvenirs, resting in the special room of the ambulance building.
The first time I spoke decently, she seemed to feel uncomfortable with the fact that I was her fiancée at first. But if you tell me from me the queen's plan and my willingness to kill her too to the cuteness of my own country, on the contrary, you have come to speak as intimately as if the thread of tension had been broken.... I was thinking of killing her, on this me.
Naturally, my fiancée's story also went back to blank. It was originally the Queen's order. Engagement. There is no more reason to engage one another than the fear of the Queen has vanished. I wanted it too, and she wanted it too. Prime Minister Gilbert and Regent Steele also cooperated, and that fact with me and her was erased without a trace, as if it hadn't been in itself from the beginning.
My time with her, who came to visit me, was filled without saying.
I was sincerely glad Princess Tiara extended her escape to the castle that day. If we had met as fiancées and spent time together, I would undoubtedly have continued to be frustrated by the work I was about to commit.
Not so much. She was a sober hearted gentle woman. Her heart was healed every time she saw that smile, laughing like a yang. Reminded me of something I'd long forgotten: peace and happiness. I thought I was supposed to kill such a sober person, and my guilt blamed me terribly.... I'm really glad you ran away that day.
If we'd met at Birthday like that, no doubt I would have even created confusion about continuing to deceive her instead of killing her.
Good before I spit a false word of love on her.
Good thing I was before she fell in love with me.
I'm glad I didn't have to hurt her.
I'm glad I didn't have to kill her.
My time with her for coming to see me is calm and fun everywhere, and more than anything else.
...... I loved you.
"Please be here at any time, really, Your Highness Prince Cedric. Please be careful on the road!
"We will always welcome you to mention the Kingdom of Friesia when you visit.
Princess Tiara sends me off with a full grin before I get in the carriage.
Chancellor Gilbert, lined up beside her, was gently turning his hand around its back. As soon as I realized I had been touched, Princess Tiara turned her golden eyes round and turned back to Chancellor Jilbert,... and laughed happily.
The way we looked at each other and smiled at each other was a beautiful sight like a single painting. Is he her chosen man? Two people who looked more like brothers, sisters and parents and children than lovers...... maybe they are like a couple already through their lovers. Because we've spent two months together at the same time. Either way, it's a close relationship that doesn't extend far to me.
─ There's no way it's going to happen.
Her heart snapped at the friendly appearance and her happy grin. I didn't laugh well and returned the words to the two of them with only a smile back at my mouth.
Put your foot on the carriage and get inside with your squire and Regent Fergus.
─ I'm not even allowed to hope.
"You guys should come to my country if you feel like it.... Tiara, I'll always be engaged to you again.
Release only the strength to her, and now it's time to laugh and show it without worries.
I felt Chancellor Gilbert's sliced eyes glow slightly sharp with a laugh, but I pretend not to notice. I also laughed back from me at him for gently pulling Tiara beside himself to make a statement of intent that he couldn't do it to a man like me.... so good, please protect her.
- It's too late.
The door closes.
Battan, I waved at them from the window after the door closed. He continued to wave for a while after the carriage ran out, burning that little shadow in his eyes until he was invisible.
From now on, the Kingdom of Friesia and my country are friendly countries. My brother doesn't know when he'll wake up either. Now I'm invited to this country as a surrogate. Next will probably be Princess Tiara's crowning ceremony.
─ I have sinned unforgivably against her.
... Mine, sin will not go away.
Even if I ended up trying, I drank the terms the queen offered me, and it didn't change that I was trying to trick her into killing her. Rather, I admire the depth of the nostalgia of Princess Tiara and Chancellor Gilbert, who are thus still amicably involved. When I told him that fact, such as Regent Style, only those eyes, which were faceless, had turned into the color of disdain.
Naturally. Just because you put it on Princess Tiara's side at the end doesn't change the fact that you tried to turn your sword on her. I have no right to love her like that.
"............... I look forward to seeing you again. I want to talk to my brother too.
If you whine like that to yourself, Fergus poured a pitiful glance on me.
I got into my sight, and I wondered why you turned your eyes on me like that, but I saw and understood my face reflected in the window.
... What do you need to grieve about?
Both the Kingdom of Sursis and the Kingdom of China could be regained. I was also friendly with Princess Tiara, who was supposed to hate me, and I didn't have to put that innocent, clean woman in this hand. Besides, there's a man beside me who takes care of her without lying or lying. A man she deserves far more than I do. There can be no happier happiness.
─.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
... It's a futile story to think about.
I was hooked up only to trick her into killing her. There can be no other meeting with her.
It is true that I was attracted to her heart. I was going to kill her. I was definitely saved by her tenderness for giving me a shameless smile and forgiveness and a time of peace.
I have long remembered that conversation without other love is such a pleasure. He told me that there are people in this world who laugh and take into account without a plan or plan.
You just gave me such a moment of guilt is too much. It's too much to meet someone like her and just get to know her. I didn't actually have to trick her into not hurting her or killing her like that. There's got to be more regret than that.
─ I wanted to be on her side from the start.
... my brother, my brother, I don't care about the country's smugness. Just "as me, if I could be on her side.
If the way we met, at least if we were in a different position, could we continue to be on Princess Tiara's side like him?
There is nothing to deceive, betray, or draw attention to. Just straight from the front,... I wanted to try to love her.
I really wanted to spin words of love on her, not jokes or calculations.
I wanted to stand up for her, regardless of my brothers, my country, or even myself.
But I'm not allowed to do it anymore. I will not hold her happiness back any longer.
"............... First love is fruitless.
Gatan Gatan and the carriage murmured so to no one, disputed by the sound of swinging.
Sad, but no tears. It just lasted so thin and long that there was a flaccid sense of loss on this chest and the uncut pain pulled the thread. I thought Fergus said something, but I didn't want to ask back. He poked his cheek wand at the window frame and continued to blur and look beyond the window.
For the past two months, I burned the sky of the Kingdom of Friesia to my memory, the only one I would have been able to share with her.
……
"... Tiara, Cedric...?
... Consciousness is drawn back to the voices I am used to hearing.
Shit, he was freaking out a little.
Before looking back to check his own consciousness and situation, if he repeatedly blinked at the sight in front of him, his blurred thoughts changed clearly. For the appearance of Tiara, who squatted and cried with both hands over her face.
They let Tiara, who keeps crying so she won't have words forever, let me pass the confusion, too.
Prince Steele and Chancellor Gilbert, who responded to my suggestion, also seemed speechless in his crying tiara appearance. Even if you reject me like this, Tiara remains solidified in the exact same outfit.
Instead they spoke to Pride, "Sister, good luck" and "Are you done talking," briefly explaining Tiara's interaction with me and the situation after hearing the response.
As Pride listened to him gently stroked Tiara's back on behalf of Chancellor Jilbert, Tiara, who had just solidified, instantly jumped into motion.
Spinning his arms wide on pride, his thin, white arms wrapped forcefully around him.
