"... definitely... definitely... you must be crazy...!!"
That afternoon, Leechee, who was accompanying Arnold on his official duties, turned back to her ex-fiancé's moans.
Leeches are visiting a castle in the Imperial Capital of Galkhain, a cramped enclosure surrounding the city.
Leechee, who had been given the materials to read, called out to him, holding his head in the corner of the cupboard.
"What is wrong with you, Lord Dietrich?"
"What is it?!!"
Dietrich exclaimed cheerfully as he thrust his finger at Leechee, stirring his hair with his other hand.
"Of course it's strange, Lord Arnold and you are the only ones!!" What the hell is going on!? After my first rendezvous in the afternoon, it's official business after official business!! I was hoping Lord Arnold would take a little more rest because you were accompanying me today!! "
……
"Don't look like 'What is this person saying?'!" What, are you guys going to rest? Or are you going to die because you can't breathe if you don't work all the time!? "
"Oh, that's...!"
Dietrich, who was breathing on his shoulder, jerked Leechee.
The guild of the Chamber of Commerce in the sewage facility earlier, and this stuffing station!! As you speak, Lord Arnold will soon try it out! If you're with me today, the content is even tougher than yesterday!? "
(Or even the word I'm going to return...!)
And a short distance away, Leechee glances at Arnold, who is talking to the bureaucrat who runs the bureau.
Arnold and the bureaucrats are looking at the methods that Leechee suggested earlier on how to manage the materials at the station.
In search of the records of people entering and leaving the Imperial City, Riesche told how a huge library he had visited in his past life had been done, saying that there was a part of it that had taken time.
(Certainly, it has been five hours since the afternoon business began. Dietrich, you're at your limit......)
After the theatre, Leechees had lunch with a tormented meal out, and then started to act with Dietrich, who had come in with a goot-hail and a sloppy face.
Leechee was planning to tour Arnold's official business as planned, as well as explore Goutheil's trends. But while I was watching Arnold's work, I accidentally became obsessed with him.
"I'm sorry, I just accidentally... When I ask questions and make suggestions, Lord Arnold will instantly sublimate me in a few steps, and there will be more and more practical stories on the ground, so I'll have fun...!"
“I know what you enjoyed, and that's why I'm scared!”
“Hahaha. Your Highnesses Arnold and Leechee are very much alike in their official thinking.”
"Mr. Oliver...!"
A squire, Oliver, passes by the leeches talking in the corner of the lockup. Oliver laughed, but his heart seemed to be sulking.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Oliver." The conversation went on and on because I made a detached proposal..... "
"No, as much as I appreciate it." The problem was that it takes time to browse the materials, and the sooner you try it, the faster the results will be. His Highness Arnold doesn't like to take his work home, so do whatever you can on the spot. I'm used to it, so it's no problem. ”
"And I can't believe you said that you [hate bringing your work home]...?" I don't have to do it today, but no matter what I think, I want to do it after tomorrow...! "
Oliver smiled bitterly at Dietrich, who was trembling.
"Because the most efficient way to do things is for each person. I hope you can see the way of my lord and help His Highness Dietrich."
"Mu, muumu..."
Just then, Arnold looked at us and called in a squire.
"Oliver."
"Yes, I'm coming. - Goodbye."
Oliver picks up the material from his desk and takes it back to Arnold. Dietrich took a breath when he saw Oliver's back moving away.
"The Lord is terrible, but the squire is also separated from the regulars..."
Your Highness Dietrich, please be careful not to make your mouth worse.
Leechee looks at her ex-fiancé as she looks at the presence beside the door.
(As His Highness Arnold said. For some reason, Mr. Gootheil is accompanying you on your official duties today....)
The tall knight Gutheil was standing by the door as an escort, while showing a slightly uncomfortable appearance.
(You said you liked Sylvia.)
It reminds me of Sylvia, who cried earlier that she liked Gootheil. Gootheil turned to her and said, "You can't be a lover anymore."
(I told Sylvia that because her father was a sinner? Or maybe it's because your father's sins have shut down your future....)
Leechee still cares about Gootheil last night. I wonder if there is any reason why he was stretching his legs to an area of the castle where no one enters every day.
(But there is somehow a sense of discomfort.... what His Highness Arnold is vigilant about is that someone is targeting Galkhain, and the intelligence from his presence. It's Mr. Gootheil who's involved in this...?)
And Leechee thought of one thing.
(Maybe)
But I didn't want to put that idea on my face right now.
In order to deceive it, he pretends to look at the material he has spread. But Leechee noticed the state of Dietrich in front of her.
Your Highness Dietrich?
……
Dietrich is silently staring at Arnold with deep emerald eyes bounded by golden eyelashes.
"...... As a crown prince, Lord Arnold has nothing to lose." Without showing any selfish desire, he puts his mind to his official duties. Besides, you're also superior at sword skills, aren't you? As a god of war, his participation in the war will greatly boost the morale of the knights. "
(How dare His Highness Dietrich praise people......)
Leechee was surprised in her heart. Dietrich's honest compliments were something he had never heard of, except for Marie, who had caught him in the mouth.
"Your Highness Dietrich...?"
"But anything is too perfect."
The words inadvertently rounded my eyes.
"Every time I do something, I keep thinking, 'This is not what I am capable of.'" Of course, everything I've accomplished must be gorgeous and recognizable to everyone! Nevertheless, there are days when geniuses do not encounter each other. The days of unexpected frustration were regrettable and painful..... "
Dietrich spins with a sincere voice for him.
"Like Lord Arnold, isn't there another bitterness to 'being born to be too perfect as a crown prince from the beginning'?"
……
Leechee never expected such an opinion from him.
"Well, I guess it's harder for me!" But I am the true king of the future. It takes a lot of hard work to be a great king..... "
“H.R.H. Dietrich, what made H.R.H. Arnold feel uncomfortable?”
"Listen to me until the end! - Well, well, I mean it."
Dietrich, noticed by Leechee, coughs up a little nervousness.
"We were not born to royalty."
When we met again in the theater a few days ago, Dietrich cried, "I was not born to love the prince." However, the current statement seems to have a different intention from that of that time.
"Even so, the royal family, especially the prince, is required to serve in private." Indeed, with this status, you will not feel financially incapacitated. But in exchange, if we don't dedicate all of ourselves to our country, we won't even be allowed to exist. "
……
Leechee is not qualified to say anything about Dietrich's remarks.
Even though he was born as a daughter of the duke and received rigorous education to become the princess of the king, he was still different from the royal family. I had no choice but to imagine what it would be like to inherit a country and eventually live as a ruling being.
"Still, everyone lives with little joy as an individual somehow." Like Marie to me. "
Leechee's mind is filled with royalty she has met before.
Some kings liked to collect jewels, and others looked forward to a booze with the people. I know of princes who rejoice in the development of the country, princesses who love to read, and princes who cherish their sisters.
"But, um, what do you mean..." Lord Arnold couldn't see anything like that... no, I don't know. But that's crazy, isn't it? They say eating is a hassle while on duty, and they don't look at the cityscape. I don't think I'm interested in anything other than fulfilling the role given to me in front of me. I was so scared to watch from the side. "
"Your Highness Dietrich..."
Dietrich muttered these words next.
It was as if he was talking to Leechee, rather than to himself.
"--Arnold Hein's doing is throwing away all human happiness."
Leechee was stunned by the statement.
"I think so."
"That's..."
It must have been a simple question for Dietrich. After all, the Crown Prince and the Prince.
Because of his proximity to Arnold, he can see Arnold's stoic behavior from a close perspective.
However, it seemed to Leeche that Dietrich's casual reputation represented Arnold's hypocritical behavior.
"... His Highness Dietrich will tell you the essence of the fold." Speaking of which, I used to be.... "
"--Okay! Ask him directly or say, 'Isn't that a hard way to live?'!!"
Huh?
Dietrich straightened his spine and stretched his chest in front of the incredible leeches.
"Hmm, let's do that!" Reach out equally to people who are rumored to be ruthless. It's because we are the next king of the Hermiti kingdom!! "
"Wow!! Please wait, Your Highness Dietrich!!"
