“… Un”

“Inspiration struckhall into several portions and build a garden there, we can see fakeof birds and sreat?”

“Indeed, that would be great”

Williahts of fancy The last ti he composed to him Another time, he had just finished an arduous battle only to receive avia the communication spell He rushed back as quickly as he could only to be thrown a stack of cards by the king who happily told hi had come up with and invited him to try it out!

He wasn’t always like this Ever since he contracted a weird disease, the king greeaker day by day both physically and mentally

“Haha~ It’s good that you like it!”

The king lay against the headboard of the bed with a satisfied look

“The next tiet you to come see it!”

“… Yes”

“I wonder if Ru would like it”

Willia a hated name

“Second brother, he should like it”

“Is that so”

The king looked out of theand his eyes suddenly became focused

“You’re all so busy that you can only come visit a few times in a year And Ru, he hasn’t come to see me in a few years now Do you knohere he is?”

“Probably thriving in some place”

William could hardly be bothered about his little brother who did nothing but fool around His little brother was the st all the princes and would have been made the crown prince if it weren’t for his sudden disappearance 5 years ago

A breeze floated in through theand the king’s snohite hair floated as he re while

“It will be good,” The king said slowly, “When we can gather again as one whole family”

It was a very sih he was the ruler of a nation, he seear

In truth he was old, very old, old to the point where it wouldn’t be strange for him to die any time now From the time he lost his beloved wife, his life was a trainwreck as he contracted an incurable disease, lost his mind and enacted weird policies that made him lose the trust of his people Everyone called hio, and he knew that Which is why he eventually left all official matters to the princes and officials while he remained in his palace His sons rarely visit hia the palace as he spends his last years alone, with just his favourite azaleas for company

Willia’s forehead

“Onesuddenly said

“What is it?”

“I have heard news that the king of Rosa, Ford, is coo in a few days”

William nodded

“That’s right, I have been ements and preparations since yesterday”

“Did he enda for his visit this time?”

“Supposedly he just wants to Princess Alisha and learn about her status”

“What a doting father”

“Indeed”

The king took a lychee out of the basket and chewed on it

“It’s probably not just a show of fatherly love”

Willia behind his words

“You think he has some other motive?”

“Yes” The king said, “The boy who snuck into the base of the ‘Deanisation’s leader, as his naain?”

“Molan Faburando”

“His family name is still Faburando? I heard he has becoed?”

“Because Molan had insisted on it, Princess Alisha did not change his name”

“Is that so, whatever the na paused, “It would be a pity to hand over such an exceptional swordsman to Rosa”

William was stunned

“The pri of Rosa hi ht?”

The king patted William’s shoulders

“Though you are engaged to the third princess of Risa, a promise is just that and can be easily broken anytih we uard”

“… You mean to say that?”

“Maybe you can think of a way,” The king continued, “To let that young o”

The king was right Molan had did as he declared in the arlehandedly defeated the de the flow of battle and had become the hero of all humanity If it weren’t for hi tens of thousands could have defeated the “Deuard but after this incident, his desire for Molan intensified and he wanted Molan to be his direct subordinate But the international court had rules that he was to be Princess Alisha’s slave and this ruling was ratified by all nations Even if Alisha were to insist on bringing hi

(TL: I’ to make this sound BL)

But

But if Molan could lose his status as a slave…

Willia

“I understand, I will make the preparations immediately”

He was about to leave after finishi+ng when the king stopped him

“willy!”

“Yes?”

The king sat on the bed with a lonely smile

“Don’t forget to being the meat floss pastries with you”

“… I got it”

William quickly walked out of the inner palace
