ā⦠you canāt make important decisions in a bar like this.ā
āThatās right. But sometimes you canāt talk in public, you canāt tell them, right? At least our brother is outside the war, and Iām sincerely angry with the guy whoās trying to inspire the Palletian kingdom right now.ā
āCanāt you flatter me? The Emperor and the others.ā
āThe Empire suddenly got too big because of its fucking parents. My brother is running to tighten the interior to stabilize the Empire. Itās not like we have a perfect internal footprint.ā
Ha, and sighed and Falgana clasped her shoulders. I rang the call to call the clerk and put out a liquor order for the clerk who came.
āThey will say that he is a good emperor, but he thinks he is a good emperor. But if youāre alone, the country wonāt be wrapped up. Empires today invade and rule other nations in battle too commonly, and everyone and he are all blinded by the effects. Even the armaments of the Kingdom of Palettia, if they can be taken in, are attractive, if they are hostile, they can only be seen as a threat.ā
Falgana to tell you pale, but its eyes are filled with brilliant and harsh light. It makes me feel angry and angry.
āThe territory on this side is also peaceful with the attitude of the Kingdom of Palletia. But a war effort in an empire is directly linked to honor and standing. The point is, itās smoking, the kingdom is trying to keep the peace, but thatās why thereās only an expedition for nobles with territory on the kingdomās side to be effective. Expeditions cost less money and less people. Some people are dissatisfied with that. Some fools are blinded by the immediate interests of the central aristocracy, which only counts their lives as numbers.ā
āIs that why the Kingdom of Palletia is also trying to get involved?
āThe Empire will see further leaps if the resources, technology and talent of this country are available. Thatās what I dream about.ā
After a modest knock, Falgana grabs the jock placed by the clerk who brought the alcohol. Momentum dried up about half of his contents, and he exhaled deeply.
ā⦠just as there are countries where noble lords donāt wrap themselves up, no matter how heroic they are, they are individuals. Think of it that way, and if you attack it, you can strike it down with the quantity. Thatās what some people think. Itās all kinds of cravings, all kinds of cravings, all kinds of cravings, all kinds of cravings, all kinds of cravings, all kinds of cravings, all kinds of cravings, all kinds of cravings.ā
ā⦠so you say you can forgive me for raiding?
āNo way! No way.ā
āYes, I also advised that we should rather use it for this raidā
āHey, Priscilla!
ā⦠is that true? Priscilla.ā
Priscilla, who was picking a knob, is taking the booze and drinking it little by little. I stare at Priscilla for a confession sandwiched in between.
Falganaās rush made it clear that Priscillaās words were an unpleasant fact for them. I have a sense that I have a hard face, but I still couldnāt stop staring at Priscilla.
āIām prepared to punish you.ā
ā⦠why didnāt you talk to me?
āDid you trust me if I talked to you?
Priscilla came looking at me strangely. In those eyes, there was just a pale, untouched feeling.
āIf I confessed badly and was held in captivity, reading the timing of the raid could hardly guide me. I canāt deny it if you say itās a theory of results.ā
ā⦠Priscilla said,ā Whoās on your side?
I dared ask that. Who is on Priscillaās side?⦠I need to make it clear here what Priscilla really is.
āI trusted Priscilla, at least. I canāt say enough completely, I thought we had no choice because weāre short on dating. But you canāt believe Priscilla if youāre trying to move me like a good personā¦. Why didnāt you talk to me?
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
āPriscilla, answer, including what you have with the Empireā¦. who are you on your side? Whoās the enemy? What did you want to accomplish?
Exhale deeply to get your breath ready, then I ask Priscilla again.
āI knew Priscilla was harmless. Otherwise, my maid wouldnāt have picked me. But you conspired against me. If you were seriously trying to trick me into falling for it, youād be too dangerous. If not, why did you try to put things away by yourself? You have to know that. You canāt leave it beside you.ā
ā⦠are you still going to put me aside?
Priscillaās expression collapsed in surprise. I once grabbed a jock the clerk had brought out of sight of Priscilla and poured the booze in momentum.
Cheap fruit liquor for the civilian population. Not at all like wine served after a meal in the outhouse or at a meeting. But I donāt hate it. If you take it easy, you might prefer this one.
Honestly, I couldnāt have done it if I hadnāt been drinking. I was in shock when I wasnāt sure myself. I keep holding a Moya Moya that I canāt even grasp, and I keep my words going.
āItās not up to me to decide on a boulder by myself. But because I found out about Priscilla. So I thought Iād have to listen to you.ā
ā⦠you really think so?
⦠In terms of personal feelings alone, I canāt deny that I pity her because I know whatās going on with Priscilla. It is all too unreasonable to ask Priscilla herself for that sin, that Priscilla had no choice but to grow up with a depressed child.
Born as a child of slavery, raised without knowing otherwise, he came from his parents abused. To Priscilla, who grew up in that situation, believe someone, maybe itās impossible to say anything.
But that doesnāt make it an absolution mark. I really think that there might have been something Priscilla could have done if she had told me in advance.
Nothing. I didnāt want to kill the Raiders. Iām not saying anything sweet. You canāt justify the regret of letting Charne stand in a place where they take each otherās lives. Charne knew, too, so that leads to an insult to that kid.
Just still. Itās much better not to be like that, I have myself to think so. So emotions and reason donāt match. Iām looking for what I didnāt get enough of.
So it was hard for me that Priscilla didnāt rely on me or talk to me. Whatever reason you had there, because you get stuck with the fact that you couldnāt create a relationship.
āI just want to convince you, Priscillaā¦. How could I have opened my heart to Priscilla?
Priscilla gave my words a slightly bewildered look. Maybe there are more gaps than her usual because alcohol is starting to come in too.
Priscilla was silent for a while, but after pulling her lips together once, she slowly opened them and started talking.
ā⦠I was through with Fall. No matter how much it seems to benefit this country, itās not a compliment. I didnāt think youād believe me in the first place.ā
ā⦠yeahā
āI told the Aylene Empire that I admired my motherās homeland. When I get my revenge, at least he wants to die in my motherās birthplace. That was my wish.ā
Priscilla puts her hands together on the table. That gaze doesnāt focus on where youāre looking, just like youāre staring far away.
ā⦠that wish still hasnāt disappeared. But I have something that I value just as much.ā
āIs that, what?
āLoyalty to Her Majesty Queen Uphilia.ā
The confession was only a little powerful. The slight fact that my voice is about to tremble tells me that it is really important and thoughtful for Priscilla.
āHer Majesty Queen Uphilia took my revenge on my shoulder, even though it turned out to be.ā
āYufi did? Revenge?ā
āThe more His Majesty the Queen changed the way the country was, the man who was my father quickly lost the power he was obsessed with. Neither the man nor the lady fell to the bottom without me having to put my hands downā¦. and how much was saved. I just felt so bad about my chest.ā
Floating on Priscillaās face is a distorted grin. Itās like Iām attracted, Iām going to find madness.
I can only imagine the pain that Priscilla suffered when she treated me like this.
āI am grateful, but above all, it has taken my heart. To the way it stands, to the way it is. to the power to the overwhelming. So I thought I could give my life for Her Majesty as much as I felt I could die in my motherās hometown.ā
ā⦠Then why were you silent?
āI didnāt think youād believe me where I let you know. And if you didnāt believe me, I feared a danger to Fall. I came to a point where I couldnāt stop it or even Fall already.ā
ā⦠you were trying to stop me, werenāt you?
Looking at Falgana to confirm, Falgana glanced over his shoulder.
āWell, yeah. Many times I was deluded that this is not the timeā¦ā
āSo if we canāt avoid it, we thought we should use it.ā
āUsing?ā
āYes, because I thought I could use this opportunity to make out with Fall and His Royal Highness the King.ā
ā⦠so even if Iām guilty of what I did with the Empire?
āYes. I guess that was where my life was.ā

Listening to Priscilla, who said so faintly, I finally realized what was causing me so far.
The moment I realized it, ā I couldnāt help but get angry. Simply put, it got pretty.
āYou estimate your life cheaply for a long time. ā Oh, here I come sometimes.ā
ā⦠Yes?
āPriscilla, who is your Lord?
ā⦠Her Royal Highness Sister Wang.ā
āThatās right. This me, this me⦠you thought if I redeemed my life, it would work the way I wanted it to?
Take a seat, I grab Priscillaās chest up. I say as I stare straight into those empty eyes.
āWhatever the Empire is up to, Iām not going to stop. If youāre not going to die, youāre not going to lose. I will do everything I can to protect this country. ā But thatās why I never thought it would be good to destroy the Empire. Instead, I didnāt know about the Empire. If you want to rub it in the inner circle, do it in your own country. Could it be a war because I was harmed? Iām not gonna let you. This, me! He said he didnāt have time for war!
I donāt even care that Iām yelling at Priscilla the earliest, and I slap my words on her. Priscilla is looking at me with her eyes round, and Falgana is looking at me with her hips floating to stop her.
While I keep track of the two of them, I just put the overflowing thoughts into words.
āYou should have told me, Priscilla. ā Help me, tell me!
āāāā
āMy coveted motherās hometown is in trouble with a friend, so can you do something about it! Talk to me! If Iām involved, Iāll be damned! How many are you satisfied with alone, can I die? You think Iāll forgive you for that? I wonāt let that happen!?ā
It wouldnāt look like such a royalty. There is no reason why royalty should prioritize personal emotions. ā But I canāt betray myself as a wizard.
If anyone is in trouble, I want to reach out. If anyone is going to cry into a situation that I canāt help, I want to do some magic to make you smile.
Because itās more important to me than being royal. If I put it on the scale, Iād throw out royal decency fine.
āI am royal, I certainly cannot move in a detour, nor am I allowed to. ā But thatās not why I hesitate! If the person you put beside yourself is suffering, I want to listen to you, and I want to help you. If thereās anything you can do about it, donāt worry about it!
ā⦠butā
āBut itās not! Priscilla is my squire! Then Iām the one whoās keeping that life! Youāre insulting me to just shut up and plot and die yes because you found out!? Thought I wouldnāt be sad with that!? I thought he was a cheap guy who thought so, if he was a traitor, he could die!?ā
Pack your distance enough to bump your forehead. I glance at Priscilla at close range. Priscilla doesnāt even speak, she just looks at me with her eyes open.
āTell me if you want my help. Iām not omnipotent like God. Because I can only respond to what Iāve been asked to do. āCause youāre too sad to give up and die because you donāt believe me. Iām sorry to hear thatā¦ā
I should have overlapped words with Priscilla more. I should have cared more about Priscilla. If you regret it, you can do as much as you want. Even now, can we still get it back?
Perhaps I should have listened more to the situation in the Empire. But I also know itās desirable for boulders. Because thatās not the job I contracted.
Iām not omnipotent. I know how to ignore politics. Thatās why I left it to Yufi. If itās still happening, I can only face it.
Out of remorse, I lost my words. The hand that was grabbing Priscillaās chest was trembling. With my hands trembling, I lay my hands on mine as Priscilla remembered that I was being grabbed up.
ā-⦠Iām sorry, I didnātā¦ā
Priscilla gets up tight and gently unties my fingers. Take your hands off Priscillaās chest, and Priscilla dropped deep.
ā⦠talk to Yufi through it. Worst case scenario, even guilty. I canāt shelter myself either.ā
āYes.ā
āI wanted to believe you, Priscilla. Even now, I still want to believe. Priscilla gave me a lot of help. I donāt want to think thatās a lie.ā
Even the work of the Magic City couldnāt be done by itself. I was glad I could work with Priscilla because I trusted her. Thatās why I regret that I should have walked in more.
Maybe it was just a bad time. Reality is always a blur, and we still have to swallow and live.
ā⦠Priscilla! Iāll have a drink!
ā⦠Huh?
āThereās no reason why the last liquor you might drink is so cheap! The most expensive liquor, let me bring it, the purse is there, isnāt it?
āWallet, is that me?!?ā
Falgana, previously placed outside the mosquito nets, points to herself to expose her surprise. Of course!
āWhose country do you think this is all about? Besides, after this, you have to report to Uffi about the Empire, I will! Wa⦠shi!
āOohā¦ā
āIāve already come to my head, Iāll do something about it! You just have to shut up the empire! You just have to be at war! Yeah, Iād better do that too! Then weāll have to do it, Iāll do it! Happy now!?ā
I told him to yell at Falgana. Falgana had a face that looked distracted, but with one hand he covered his face and weakened his shoulders greatly.
ā⦠no, thatās awesome. Princess Anisphere, you really canāt read.ā
āHmm! If thereās no objection, Iāll take it as a wallet! Iāll squeeze your wallet out! Thatās fine with you, Priscilla!
Turning his gaze to Priscilla again, Priscilla was staring at my face with her face up that she was letting lean over. Priscilla, who was looking at my face, let her take a deep courtesy of her squire.
