Early in the morning, it was not my uncle who came to see me off at the dragon's departure point, but one of my half-brothers, the Crown Prince Visser.Visser laughed thinly at Nathalie, who was frightened.

"I'm sorry, I..."

"... you haven't said anything yet, have you?"

"The expression can be more eloquent than the mouth.I think it's better to keep it in my heart if I'm going to the enemy country, Natalier-sama. "

While standing in a much higher position than the crown prince, Nathalie, this half-brother behaves like a servant.Nathalie wasn't the only one. Everything else today - maybe not just her brother, Hades, but I don't really know about it.

In the first place, Natalier doesn't know much about Hadith, who suddenly came from the border and quickly became the Emperor.

"It's not an enemy state, is it?" If I get engaged and become the Princess of King Cleitos. "

I just know I hate this Wiesel guy.As expected, Natalier's hopes were laughed at at the end of his nose.

"What the hell?"

“No, you're heading to Fairlat, where you'll enter Cratos from the military port.The Kingdom of Cratos would like to escort you to House Servel.Did you know, House Servel? "

"... you're the family that's guarding the borders of Cleitos."

Yes, it's a fighting nation that defeats dragons with its fists.

Isn't that a big rumor?

"It was the princess there who was supposed to be revealed as the fiancée of Prince Kreitus."

Natalier raised his face.Looking at his face, Wiesel distorts his cheeks.

I didn't hear anything from Georg-sama.

"... I was told not to worry about it."

"Then you don't know your exact position."Prince Cratos is not very aggressive about the engagement in the first place. "

Drawing her lips together, Natalier shook his head to the side.

“It's good to have hope, but don't forget the reality.For the Kingdom of Cratos, the mood of the Servells may be more important than yours. ”

"... do you want to say that you want to target me?"

"But I can't say that."The Servers seem to be quite a habitual family, and they don't cling to power struggles, but they have a main house in the middle of the Lachia Mountains and live there. ”

"It's not because there are no dragons over there."It's dangerous here, but it's not that way. "

Wiesel shrugged his shoulders.

"Just kidding, even on the side of Cleitos, the peak is the peak."The first epicenter where Dragon God Lavée and Goddess Kreitos discovered their ancestors.It could be called a sanctuary. It would be insane to step in there with your shoes and train yourself. "

"I'm surprised you believe in God."

"There you are, God."You just won't admit it. "

Vessel looked coldly at Nathalie, who frowned for a moment.But I smiled again immediately.

“Rest assured. House Servel is confirming that there is nothing behind escorting you this time.If you die in your own territory, I'll be sure to protect you myself, so I'll escort you. That's a good idea. ”

"-Yeah, if the fiancée is the princess of the Servells, I'd be the first to suspect anything."

“Yes, your death could be the reason for the war.”

A large shadow covered Natalier and Visser.The dragon was circling over the sky.

"I know, I know."

“Really? Even if Georg were to send you out on the assumption of your death?”

"I know."

His voice trembled. The hand holding the dragon's wing-inspired hair was trembling.But I smiled with a determined look on my face.That's the princess's job.

“I'm going to test my way out of Cleitos.It would be best to use it in a good way and end it at the most.But maybe there is.The day will come when the Lavée Empire will calm down and its relationship with Kreitos will improve.I might be able to be that step.Because she's the princess of the Lavée Empire. "

Wiesel moved his eyebrows, but did not argue. Natalier laughs.

"What, don't you laugh?" I don't think I can.But you don't understand if you don't try. "

"... there's something you don't have to try.How you move in the first place doesn't make a big difference.Georg will soon be tortured by the Dragon Emperor, and there will be no point in you marrying him.It's about being killed by then, or it's about being killed afterwards. "

Still...

"So, you have to think about surviving first."

Both my uncle and Natalier took the words they had discarded with their eyes wide open, along with the strong wind coming from the front.

"Why... do you say that?"

“I'm sympathetic. Because you and I are in a similar situation."

My half-brother, who always had only a disgusting smile on his face, said gently with a face that seemed to rip off all his emotions.

“You should remember that. With your life and your death, the country will not flourish.You don't think about the Lavée Empire, you just survive wherever you are.If it gets in the way of the Lavée Empire, then I... the Dragon Emperor will come and kill you. "

……

"After all, one dies."Until then, don't give up on living with peace of mind. "

The conclusion that he will die remains unchanged.Until then, however, you can live any way you want.At the very least, don't choose a passive death that kills itself in the enemy state.

Live.

--Come here and say those words, this half-brother is going to laugh.

"... if you can afford to laugh, you seem to be fine." It's time to go. ”

Wiesel turned her eyes upward as she sighed.The last of the group of dragons that were circling the sky came down to the departure point.The biggest green dragon. Natalier leaves the Lavée Empire aboard it.

"I've threatened everywhere, but it should be a pleasant journey."We will be safe at least until we leave the Lavée Empire.The dragon is sympathetic to you. "

Oh, were you close to the dragon?

“No, I just thought Hadith would sympathize with you.”

"I see," Natalier laughed honestly.

Maybe we got along really well.

"Please joke. You and we will never be compatible."

"You don't know that, do you?"If I live, something unusual like that will happen. "

A little eyebrows raised, and Visser shut up.Is it perhaps awkward?

Laughing again, Natalier sees the dragon he rides.

But it's too late to leave the dragon.

By the way, you liked dragons.

"That's why I'll do my best to survive as advised."There may even be a happy ending to a happy marriage between Prince Kreitos and his prince. "

"If such a miracle occurs, I will grant you one wish and everything."

"I told you." I'll think about it. "

You must not think that such a day will not come.

Nathalie turned straight to Visser.

"I wrote to Frida and Erinzia."It's in my room, but can I ask for it? "

"... that's okay."Please do not let Georg-sama crush you. "

Thank you, Oniisama Wiesel.

Visell narrowed his eyes and looked at us. And move your mouth.

"Goodbye, Natalie."

(Caller) I don't have it with me. Natalier smiles.

The smile of my sister that comes to mind when this person remembers himself one day.

Goodbye.
