Chapter 73
Concern of the first prince.
* The first prince, Christophe’s viewpoint.
Turn to the mirror and correct the position of Cravat.
After checking that my hair and clothes were not disturbed, I stared at my face and sighed.
Although the pale complexion and unsightly look are the original, they seem to be more unhealthy than ever because of the dimly formed kuma.
If the upset appears on your face, you won’t work for the government. The vision of my father, who vacated with cold eyes and flung away, flickered in my mind, and I felt worse.
Look away from the mirror and look out of the window.
The dazzling Chaoyang is shining in the blue sky without clouds. The wind is calm, and the sea will surely calm down. When I muttered in my heart, I remembered the face of my sister who visited this room last night.
I’ve seen Rose for the first time in a long time, and I feel like I’m a little older. But for me, my little cute little sister.
The sister leaves for a distant country. And she is the only one who has no way to protect herself. I was more worried and was going crazy.
Don’t go anywhere. How many times have you been asking me to be within reach of me?
But I can’t say that. I couldn’t say.
I will leave tomorrow morning. In the eyes of Rose, he said, he was anxious but not lost. But what do I do in the way?
It is not my intention to hinder her growth.
All I had to do was not to sneak in overprotection, but to go and send in the face of my elder brother.
As a result, only bad imagination occupies the head, and the body works to create a kuma without sleeping.
I am sorry and I sigh.
“……Now”
Turn your eyes down and shake your head only once.
There is no time to be immersed in sentiment. Switch your mind and start working.
Approach the table to get the documents you brought back to your room.
Stretch and stop your hand. After a beat, I took the book on the side. When opened, a piece of paper is sandwiched between them.
When my sister came to visit yesterday, she was immediately pinched.
Open the folded paper.
Sole spelled out in polite letters is a letter from my brother. After studying in a neighboring country, I come regularly. However, unlike a personal communication that arrives at Rose and has a seasonal greeting, it is a complete report.
Usually once a month. However, it arrived this time without delay. In other words, there was something that we wanted to notify immediately.
The content is that the first princess of the Raptor will come to Vint.
Nominal study abroad. But the real purpose is probably the first prince of Vint. Raptor changed hands and tried to contact Vint, but he seemed to have finally sent his princess.
Marriage is a simple but useful way to create a connection between countries.
I still don’t know how Vint works.
But it’s slow after the movement. Even though our country and Vint are allied, we need to remove the buds of anxiety.
The King takes some action.
And one of them will probably be the marriage of the princes of Rose and Wind. Right now there is no possibility, but once decided, Rose has no veto.
I can protect it, but that is no use.
Not only will that child’s future be destroyed, but it will not be a fundamental solution. If you want to change the situation, Rose must move itself.
I think it’s a terrible story for a young princess.
But if you are half-hearted, it is impossible to change your father’s will.
It is regrettable to let go just to connect with neighboring countries. If we can show the achievements and potential just to make him think like a king.
knock Knock
The door rings twice and I return to me.
Put the letter in the book and put it back on the shelf. He grabbed the original document and headed to the door.
“Good morning”
“Oh good morning.”
I greeted Leonhardt, who was waiting outside, and looked at his face and looked slightly light.
I found the same thing on Leonhard’s eyes that I saw in my mirror just before.
There is a dark circle under Leonhard’s long eyes. However, it is a very thin thing that you can not understand unless you look closely.
Unlike me, I don’t think Leonhardt will make a kuma due to lack of sleep for a day or two.
“Leonhard”
“Yes”
“Are you busy?”
Put your eyes around with your index finger and ask Leonhard. He smiled bitterly, apparently understanding what I meant.
“I’m ashamed, I’ve accumulated my work for myself.”
In that word, I open my eyes again.
It is impossible for Leonhardt to put off work after giving priority to private use.
Because you are in the position of Commander of the Knights of the Guard, your work will be like a mountain. But he puts it away with a cool face.
If it is not something unexpected. Think so far and come to your mind.
What is today?
“… have you traveled safely?”
“…………Yes”
After a while, Leonhard nods.
Unlike a child who has found mischief, unlike a child who does not lose his relentless attitude, he looks like a bad face.
Apparently my expectation is correct.
Even if Leonhardt did his job all night, he wanted to give priority to him.
If that’s the kid’s… Rose’s fortune-off, she’s a farewell gift.
I’m glad, Rose.
Now imagine the face of my sister on the sea and mutter in my chest.
Thought about the future of her journey will not end her anxiety, but she feels a little easier just to think she has traveled with a smile.
Please come back to me as soon as possible and safely.
I’m sorry my brother has always been hoping.
