"It's over now. It's not that you care."
"So, but... Your Majesty hasn't done anything, has he? Nothing bad, but no."
"It's okay. My brother convinced me a lot of my surroundings, and now I'm at peace with him."
"Really what...?
"Oh. My brother doesn't even see Rave, but he believes me."
Jill wanted to sweat cold at Hadith, who said happily.
(If my memory is certain, you will go around executing his brother and half-brother for treason and civil unrest, and not one will remain...!?)
Moreover, it is Prince Vissel who will be circulating information to the Kreitos side.
"Of course I'm not saying it's all working out. Even my brother doesn't know it for real. The other brothers have left me alone. But I want to believe that one day I'll be able to talk calmly."
No way, let's believe it that way. Try to believe, will this emperor continue to be betrayed?
And despair at the end?
(That, is…………)
Nothing yet, it's not definitive. So I grab my fist and change the story with anger like I want to punch the wall or something nasty.
"... In the Kingdom of Kreitos, there has been no noticeable movement in the Ravé Empire over the past few years and it has been strange. That was caused by His Majesty's curse."
"Right. Because the Crown Prince dies every year, a lot of good people have escaped, too. After I became emperor, I kept it to political stability anyway. But what can I do to treat you like a cursed emperor? My brother even told me, but even if someone got hurt a little, it would make a scene that it was my curse, and on the other hand, I suspect that the Crown Prince's serial death was my plan from the beginning."
I can't do that to a prince who has been driven to the border and forgotten.
But fear pushes easily through reason and so on.
"Moreover, because my brother is also a good man and a popular man, the move to place you in the emperor has become stronger here recently. Regardless of your brother's intentions. If your throat is too high, you'll forget the heat."
"… so the raid of the earlier ship is also the main culprit around it rather than Crown Prince Vissel? Or other brothers..."
"The royal family is witnessing one death after another. I don't think it's that easy to forget."
"Then you should first suspect only the Marquis Baile…………"
It is hard to think if they do ask if the royal family will actively attempt to abolish Hadith in such a situation.
"I'm sorry."
Hadith said to Jill, thinking about it, with a shady face on his lid.
"I'm famous for being cursed here, but I'm not sure you know the details from the Kingdom of Kreitos. I should have explained it before I got married... it was floating anyway."
"How far did you float…………"
"But......... if I had explained it before marriage, I would most likely not have gotten your consent. I mean, you were right not to say............?
Ravé becomes the face of the seriously crushed Hadith.
"Even if you think that, you're being stupid and honest."
"Is that so?
"I think it would be cooler for Your Majesty to remain silent"
Rude true, but Hadith looked happy.
"Then I'll be careful. - Nevertheless, you don't have to worry about the curse anymore. It won't happen because I already have you."
"... how could I tell that story?
"I don't know the details, but the point is, it's a curse that happens when Dragon Emperor doesn't have a wife, if you think about it. If you have a bride blessed by Ravé, it will subside."
"Then I should have just married you……………"
Hadith is nineteen years old, and an emperor. The bridesmaid candidate and so on would have been another step forward. It was a simple question, but Hadith had a bitter laugh.
"I told you. I was a prince on the border. [M] You don't feed them, you don't lock them up, you don't starve to death, they're monsters, right? No one wants to make contact."
Shit, I thought. But I won't go back to the words that came out of my mouth. All I can do is apologize.
"… I am sorry, without thought…"
"You don't have to worry about it. In the first place, I can't even get blessings if I can't see Rave. Even if I had been treated as a crown prince from the beginning, I wouldn't have found a magical girl with a rave in sight that way."
I'm starting to see how Jill was welcomed. Hadith's floats, and Jill's reasons for trying to like him.
(I mean, Lady Ravé was the only one by your side, and you've been all alone?)
Happy family plan, what a stupid word now adds a lot of weight.
"… does His Majesty not seem unreasonable? The... your family, your country, your surroundings."
"Why? I am the rebirth of the dragon god Rave. I was born as emperor as possible, and it did. They are my people and my family to protect. Denying it means defeating your destiny."
The slow floating Emperor's smile was beautiful and full of pride.
"There's Rave. Now you too. [M] I'm not going to lose."
My eyes challenging the future suddenly caught a wound that wasn't blocked yet. Repeat blinking in surprise.
(No, whatever it takes. That would be different. Calm down. To sum up this story, the reason His Majesty wanted to marry me was because he wanted to curse me)
When I thought about it, I got a point. I see hope at last.
"So, is the condition that the person married is under fourteen also related to that curse?!?"
"No, the absolute condition is that Rave is visible, and I wonder if age is a safety measure or just an ideal"
Don't ask.
