"Let it be, because of the soil I have plowed..."

"Mr. Lieche. I was wondering if that would be the problem..."

While the knight pointed him out, Liesche looked down at the boy.

Never heard of the characteristic of the person. But with this appearance alone, I can imagine who the hell it is.

"What if this one belongs to the Second Prince"

"Yes, Your Highness, Theodore."

(I knew...)

I wanted to hold my head. I had no idea this boy, who was sleeping and breathing directly on the ground, was Arnold's brother.

(The day after they told me to stay away, I can't believe we were going to make contact)

I have never recognized the existence of Theodore in Leishe's life so far.

Because very little information about the Garchhein royal family arrived in the ears of Liesche, who lived in other countries. For this reason, the Garchhein royal family took the form of obtaining a little information after coming to this country.

Theodore seems to be fifteen years old under the four of Arnold and the same age as the current leachet.

They say the current emperor has six children, but the only men who have the right to inherit the throne are Arnold and this Theodore, all the others being princesses.

"Mmm..."

In the midst of Theodore, the knights begin to panic again.

"Lieche, please stand down here for a moment."

"'Liesche'......?

"Ahhh."

Theodore's shoulder moves in response to the knight's voice, and his lid slowly opens. A knight who woke me up was blocking his mouth with his hand and another knight was hitting him in the back. But the sleeping boy seems to have woken up.

The same blue eyes as Arnold's made me glare when I saw the sky.

Theodore looks up at Lieche as he puts his hand in front of him and creates a shadow.

"... you're my brother..."

Apparently, they've stopped seeing Liesche's presence over there, too.

"I will see you first, Your Highness, Theodore. Sorry for the delay in greeting you"

Inside, while being utmost vigilant, Liesche smiled with a grin.

"My name is Liesche Irmgard Wertzner. This time we have your friendship and you will be added to the last seat of the royal family. I will do my utmost to the royal family."

……

Actually, I'm working hard to get sloppy in this castle.

Theodore blinks with a sleepy face, staring at such a leachet.

I honestly couldn't predict what action he was going to take after this.

Nevertheless, Leishe's treatment is only 'hostage'. For the great Garchhein, the Liesche is nothing more than a duke's warrant in a weak and small country.

(You're not welcome, I'm sure)

Looking at the way out, Theodore laughed and said after he woke up his torso.

"- Nice to meet you, Reiki sister-in-law!

(... eh)

A face as beautiful as a girl, full of laughter.

"It's a shame to see you here. I've written to you many times, and you haven't heard back from me! But if you're such a beautiful wife, you might know you want to be alone."

"It's a word you don't know."

"Haha. I wish you weren't so hard and made it easier."

Theodore has a nostalgic look and stares at Liesche's face.

(He's a brother, but he doesn't look much alike)

The hair and eyes are the same color, but they have different shapes such as eyes and creases. Both are unmistakable beauty shapes, but if I didn't know Arnold's brother was there, I wouldn't have thought he was.

(In the first place, you mean the expression is completely different...)

"If I slept here forever, could I shake hands?"

When Theodore stood up, he paid a great deal of dirt on his body. He is a little taller than Liesche and much lower than Arnold.

"Theodore Augusto Hein. Second in the throne, brother of Arnold Hein."

"Best wishes, Your Highness Theodore"

He was asked to shake his hand with a nostalgic expression, and Liesche laughed and responded accordingly.

Next to my sight, the knights are terribly nervous. Perhaps they are also under orders such as' Keep Leishe and Theodore away '. But it can't be stopped in front of Theodore at the moment.

"By the way, why is my sister-in-law here? I slept here when I was walking in the castle."

"Actually, this field is what I'm building."

"My sister-in-law!? Wow, that's amazing. We rarely have so much fuzzy soil! The sun hits just fine, and you can hear the little birds chirping. Happy plants you can grow here."

"It's an honor to keep it in compliment. But, Your Highness, Theodore, I will plant the seeds here in a while."

"Oh well, that's a limited-time bed then. But there's one thing that bothers me."

Theodore points there as he bends by the field.

"Sister-in-law. Will you look at this?

"What's wrong?

"Look, here. It's weird to look closely, isn't it?

What is shown is the part of the earth that has no philosophy whatsoever. To be sure, Liesche also gives in.

It was then that Theodore whispered.

"I want to help you. Liesche Irmgard Werzner"

……

A sincere gaze shot through the leachet from close quarters.

"Poor thing. I've been brought here, and your essence is not the bride, but the hostage. To the best of my knowledge, there is no human being who could have lived a happy life to the queen of this country."

There is no earlier softness in the look on Theodore's face turning his back on the knight.

"Soon, we'll talk alone. Don't tell my brother, where he doesn't have eyes for surveillance."

"His Highness Theodore"

- I'll show you how to get away from my brother.

In Theodore's eyes, whispered, there was a strange fever.

I have little information about the royal family in this country. But such circumstances surrounding Arnold could lead to a war in a few years' time.

Or maybe this Theodore is the one who holds that key. Because, as he suggests, it should be very meaningful to tell a confidential story.

(But)

Liesche smiled with a grin.

His Royal Highness Arnold told me not to do anything dangerous.

"... what?

"Actually, my lord just scolded me last night. I can't inadvertently be alone with the other lords and sow rumors."

The pompous face Theodore eventually distorted its neat brow.

"... you don't know how cruel your brother is. how you behave when you hold the sword and what eyes you see on the battlefield."

"No. I know enough"

"That's not all. He said he could kill you one day."

"I know, sir."

That's enough to smudge yourself and dream about.

Though he didn't speak that far, Liesche stood up smiling.

"There's nothing wrong with that, Your Highness. This field, if you leave it like this."

Disguise yourself as a knight who was only talking about the field for a little while away. Theodore, who remained bent, had erased his expression from his beautiful face.

(... that face just looks a little like your brother)

But Arnold's a lot better at it. A call like that earlier would never, if it were him, have made him realize it was a trap.

(I didn't have a killer against me, but every time I named Arnold Hein, something close to it seeped in.... "Second Place to Inherit the Emperor" is not a word of introduction to my brother, the prince's fiancée)

The same goes for trying to highlight Arnold's cruelty. I guess I tried to successfully stir up the fear of Liesche, who was going to marry him.

(I also know what Arnold Hein will look like on the battlefield. But even if my brother doesn't put it that way...)

That's all I thought about, Leishe noticed.

(I wonder why I'm angry)

Whatever Arnold is called by his real brother, it's not supposed to have anything to do with it.

I greet Theodore with wonder.

"The dirt has flattened, so I need to bring a shovel. That will excuse you for today, Your Highness Theodore."

……

Make sure you don't hear back from him, and Liesche walks out. The knights also offered their confessions to protect Liesche after paying their most tribute to the prince.

(Come on. Now, I hope there's movement)
