The Second Prince’s Inspection (3)
Johan von Wervard’s point of view
“It’s hot today tooI’ to miss the capital already”
‘When we finished, I was told to return home’
“Since the talks and inspections rapped up earlier than scheduled, shall we head back?”
‘Because the talks for establishi+ng deforestation liht start getting suspicious if we lingered around for no reason’
As Nacht and I continued to hold a conversation, ere secretly writing to each other on the paper set out upon the table
Although I didn’t participate in the discussionsdown the forest were apparently easily acceptedThat’s soood newsBut another problem had arisen, and I couldn’t celebrate just yet
Nacht snatched the feather pen fro down
“That’s rightLet’s prepare to return to the capital”
‘There’s no such thing as a deforestation li logs in the first place! We just grazed the outskirts of the forestCould you call that an investigation!?’
The paper was tearing up as if reflecting Nacht’s angerI carefully grabbed the pen from his hand and wrote ‘calm down’
Despite the fact that his brows knitted even deeper, Nacht sed back his anger and nodded in frustration
While I was leisurely eating my meat skewers, Nacht and his men were on an expedition in the southwestern forest
However, we found out that the tree-cutting was temporarily haltedAdditionally, it was forbidden to enter the forest at any costThe reason was fear of landslides caused by the rain from the other dayApparently, that’s also why they stopped investigating any further
Indeed, it did rain heavilyIt was easy to understand how the ground
But-
“Should I buy so as a souvenir before we return?”
‘What happened to the village?’
A village comprised of dark-skinned people was located deep in the back of the forests
Even when the initial deforestation had collapsed the ecosystem and made their home harder to live in, no one had set foot out of that tribe yet
Nacht saw the sentence that I wrote and bit his lips with a painful look
“Good ideaI heard that Flaood quality”
‘The path was blockedWe couldn’t contact them’
No way!
If that’s true, then why is Philipp taking the tiood host?
‘What about a rescue? Are there any plans to clear the sand and mud from the path?’
‘They fear that a second landslideit off for now’
‘Unbelievable! How long do they think it’s been since it rained?’
‘“That village has done well enough on its oithout outside help until now, so stop worrying,” hat they said’
‘But who do you think is currently robbing them of their livelihood and home in the first place?’
The stupidity of the situation made me want to throw upI lifted the corners oflaugh
Seeing htly tapped on the paper with his index finger knuckle where I wrote ‘cal htly tapped on the paper with his index finger knuckle where I wrote ‘calo
I shuttheers, I opened them once moreI looked at Nacht and nodded, and he replied in the same manner
‘There is a possibility that they were lying about the landslidesIt would explain why they haven’t even launched a rescue mission yet’
‘If that’s so, then our target is the forest’
“Flamme’s fabric is said to be very popular with the women in the capital”
“Is that true!?”
“Yes”
As rote, our aimless talk continued smoothlyNacht, however, made a bitter face when someone unexpectedly entered our conversation
“Lately, Corinna and Eleonora have been in such badwhat to buy for the !”
“…We’re happy to be of service to you, Licht”
My hands were gripped in his when he shook the srin
‘In the first place, Lady Corrina and Lady Eleonora are angry because you keep giving nonstop attention to Princess Julia,’ hat I murmured in my heart
This troublesoht and lively young man, Prince Licht, had in fact been in the sa
Princess Julia was busy today so this lonely prince hadn’t left us aloneNacht and I wanted to report our findings in private, which is why this situation was truly troublesome
We were afraid of being eavesdropped on, so I thought to use secretthis to Prince Licht… Yeah, he probably wouldn’t understandRather than helping, he was holding us back instead
As I was ata conversation while writing a story on paper’ hat he called it
Prince Licht was interested in the beginning and had joined us, but soon became bored and stoppedHe probably felt that he was either losing the game or that it was too troublesomeEither way, he backed off and started to nap on the sofa
I was relieved that we could now have some peace and quiet, but I was too careless
It was atopic to talk about
It was atopic to talk about
“How about you keep a distance from them for a little while?”
“Why?”
“It is not right to lead unmarried wo them, it would look irresponsible of you”
‘Be aware of yourself as the next king’ Nacht seeht into Prince Licht’s eyes
But the person in question simply tilted his head in confusion
“Why would those gifts iven the best fabrics, I’m sure they would happily smileI just want beautiful ladies to always keep smiles upon their faces”
Prince Licht laughed without s
Even if a little harsh, I now understood why Nacht said his brother ithout a brain
Nacht wasunder his breath so that we couldn’t hearThrough reading his lips, I got the gist so the lines of, “Do you wanna end up in a bloodbath?”
It was as Nacht saidPrince Licht truly was heading straight for a bloodbath at this rate
I didn’t knohat noble faainst Princess JuliaThe chances that they could beco’s queen were incredibly low
However, if they were close to Prince Licht, finding other suitors would also be toughnoble the prince’s favourites
The e for an aristocratic lady was in their mid-teensI’m so sorry you had to waste your ti of you
Even so, I wouldn’t get caught up in itIt was certainly irritating, but at the end of the day, it was none of my business
But Prince Licht’s folloords couldn’t be unheard
“Hey, Johan? You understand, don’t you? You also want your beautiful sister to sht?”
