Chapter 101 (2/2)
The voice of an adorable girl echoed through my mindIt was no one other than my dearest sister that I’ve missed for several years
Her voice usually came to me when I try to avoid trouble or make irresponsible decisionsPerhaps it’s the voice of my little conscience
In this situation, ould my sister do?
She would probably do the very opposite of what I was about to do
If it was her, she would go out of her way and investigate until she was satisfied; until there was nothing left to look forShe would do so without seeking fah to the end
She would never turn a blind eye to the issue in front of her, especially if it was so
“…”
I churned out a long sigh
As a prince of an allied country to Wind, I should avoid doing sorave’s successor
But, you know
As long as they don’t find out…
There is et what I want
While being guided by Prince Licht and Princess Julia, I whispered quietly in my heart
The Second Prince’s Inspection
Johan von Verward’s point of view
“It’s too hot”
Nacht, with his face stuck to the glass , quietly coly arched his lips and a wrinkle could be seen for between his browsIt was considered the norm for him to make a sullen face, but if one looked closely, it would seeuethis way, however, because we had been thrown around the carriage for quite so”
“In that case, would you rather ride a horse outside?”
I presented enerous offer with a smile, and it seemed to crush his sullen face even further
“Don’t joke about puttingour robust soldiers, is there even any sheltered royal that could possibly withstand this heat? They’ll probably dry up the second they step foot outside”
“But it looks like your brother is having the time of his life”
“That’s a special case”
Prince Licht, Nacht’s older brother, didn’t fancy sitting in horse-drawn carriages and was riding on a horse ever since we had departed froh for the task, he certainly worried a lot of his escorts
“What a troublesouyI’d love to lock hi us from the insideYou really can’t put him anywhere”
What a way to describe your own brotherI wholeheartedly agree with hihTo describe Prince Licht in one word; it would be merryAnd that was exactly what made him bothersome and so to win over his heart, straight up declined his offer to ride togetherShe had s a different tuneEven I could see that she didn’t want to get sunburned, but that dihtestIt was the best thing about him but also the worst
“We’ll arrive soon anywayI’ll let him have his fun” Nacht rolled his eyes and uninterestedly murmured out
The city that lies next to Wind’s border, GrenzeThat here we, Prince Licht, Princess Julia, Nacht, and I, Johan von Wervard, wereour way towards
“But… It really is hot over hereI didn’t expect the te a little south of the capital”
“No, the tedom each yearThis year must be an exception”
“Have you been here before?” Nacht, who had his whole frame plastered on theup until now, raised his face to my wordsHis widened eyes seee
“Several ti here in the early summer, but it wasn’t as hot as this”
“Heh, really~? If I were to just judge you by your face alone, I’d say you’re quite the pampered royalBut it seeo wherever you please, huh?”
A just to be safe, yeahMore ih, I’m curious about the part he said about my faceDo I really look like a pampered royal?
“This heatat the ht from the capital should do the jobI was a bit worried about this new disease, but if it ends just as a rumour then all is well”
Nacht relaxed his expression ever so slightlyAnd then, as ere having our casual conversation, the carriage finally arrived at Grenze
Being the country’s first line of defence towards a former hostile country, Scherz, Grenze was a castle city surrounded by towering wallsAlthough it’s a city ran by the military forces, it was a prosperous establishment that heldthe base for trading with Flao, I only saw solid castle walls and expected a downcast and depressing atmosphereContrary to my assumptions, the citizens of this city were lively and cheerful
Drinking drunkards that often started fights over silly arguether a few minutes afterBack then, I couldn’t understand how anyone could be so sihed and told me that everyone in the overned this land
We did exchange letters a few times, but I haven’t seen hi? I truly hope you’re doing well
When you think of a ive one yourselfIt’s been a while since the last tiain
Disappointingly, though, the chance ofhireeted us at the main house wasn’t the muscular old er: Philipp von GeissterHe asserted that he was Heinz’s son and told me the current condition of his father as bedriddenIt see
Behind Prince Licht as expressing his sincere sadness and pity, Nacht and I looked at each otherNacht’s pale co similar on eezer? Just thinking about it was truly terrifying
“I had heard there was a new disease spreading in these partsHas Sir Geisster contracted it as well?”
When Nacht asked, Philipp’s eyes widened to some surprise
“How come you know of the illness?”
“Just a few ru of the sortI didn’t expect any news to have reached the capital this soon” Philipp smiled and slowly shook his head“The fever has already run its natural course in this area, thoughMy father is bedridden because of his age, nothing more”
His words piqued my interestBoth the fact that the disease has stopped spreading and that Sir Heinz was ill were surprising to me
“Run its natural course? Are you sure of this?” Nacht asked with a difficult expression
“YesIt was hot this year so the disease had spread eratedOnce the heatwave is over, I’m sure everyone will feel better in no tily, Nacht finally nodded, although his face told me he was clearly unconvinced
It was all too sudden and I could understand why Nacht was feeling the way he didHowever, let’s not fret about it tooless we have to worry about
The only task left was to deal with the deforestation issue
‘But is that really the case?’
The voice of an adorable girl echoed through my mindIt was no one other than my dearest sister that I’ve missed for several yearsHer voice usually came to me when I try to avoid trouble or make irresponsible decisionsPerhaps it’s the voice of my little conscience
