Chapter 99 (1/2)

Chapter 99 – Exiled prince

Life was peaceful as I spent time with the shi+ru tribe children It’s said that only during times like these when one’s heart is tranquil that one can explore their true inner self

Spending all this tie, I can now objectively observe eness No, maybe I should say instead that I was forced to deal with my own immaturity and anxiety, even if I didn’t want to

I’ll admit it to myself My spirit is still immature As the days passed by, I felt like I was actually more immature than the shi+ru tribe children I was born as and have been living as Eliza tomatured at all over this time This may be because of the memories I’ve inherited aboutme into a fake adult

Definitely,came with my memories It’s a fact that I used my inal personality hadn’t been established yet

However, these are still just irl experienced before, it doesn’t feel like a personal experience I’ to separate myself from her will and her emotions If I don’t do this, there’s no way that row and mature

And so withinabout inside me

Ratoka treats ives me all the responsibilities of an adult My heart remains too immature as of yet to respond to them

Also, there’s Mrs Hortensia who tries to treat ently offered hand, I would feel like I’d be shi+rking allon ive myself for my own sins

For someone who doesn’t even know herself, how can I accurately place trust in others? Whether it’s running away fro a false sense of trust inshamefully

For me to have only realized all of this now, just how foolish can I be

It’s thanks to these children that I can now laugh at and recognize my own foolishness They know that I’m the domain lord However, they also know that I’ently remind me of that fact

……Well, while I’ some time for all of my emotions to sort themselves out

I stayed with those children on that snow-covered hill for two fullto clear up, and winter should be ending soon This year is almost over

During a rare break when the weather was coeon came from the royal capital

“It’s an announcement from the royal family”

Earl Terejia’s face was drained of all its color and his hands were shaking as he handed the e to me It was indeed stamped with the royal emblem

I haven’t seen Earl Terejia or experienced such a painfully heavy atether in Ratoka’s rooet about that time

“What did the king say in it?”

When I inquired about the e, Earl Terejia found it unusually difficult to speak Normally his eyes filled isdo over the contents of the letter Almost as if he wanted to make absolutely sure of ritten there and to check its veracity

He keptfor quite a while, but he finally answered in a much quieter voice than usual

“……It’s been decided that Prince Albert’s going to enter a monastery”
