‘It wasn’t. Maya didn’t even show it, but he was sorry. He told us he’ll miss us.’
I wasn’t the only one feeling this way.
When Maya said that, the children began to tell the secrets they had hidden one by one.
“Well, I guess I will miss it too. Of course, this kindergarten.”
Cedric said as he glanced across the classroom with an unfamiliar gaze.
“I was going to ask Father to let me go for a few more years.”
“I’m sorry, Ninaina but you know it’s not going to work out, right?”
When Ninaina’s complaints ensued, Nicholas asked seriously.
Then, Ninaina shed a resentment to Nicholas.
“…… I know too! I’m just saying. Isn’t Brother sad that we are leaving this kindergarten?”
“…… No way. I think it is very unfortunate.”
Nicholas looked down in dismay.
Obviously, he looked very different from Nicholas when he first started attending this kindergarten.
‘At that time, he always showed an indifferent attitude, saying that he was going for early admission to the academy.’
Maya continued and handed us a piece of paper one at a time.
“So, by the way, I want everyone to write a letter to me. Later, when I miss kindergarten, I want to take out this letter and remember this place.”
“What, a letter? How can I write a full letter on this large piece of paper?”
“…… !”
Hearing Maya’s request and Cedric’s murmurs, I had a good idea.
‘There is a way to easily fill in the content and keep the memories of kindergarten and each other. Let’s make rolling paper.’ (the raws literally said 롤링 페이퍼 rolling paper just in hangul, but if you google rolling paper you’ll find…..cigarettes….. The term rolling paper is more known in KR and in JP its called yosegaki, so more like a signing board/paper usually done for farewells; mostly used for good luck for their new endeavors in JP, i’m not quite familiar yet in KR.)
Immediately, I suggested carefully.
“Then how about doing this? Write down on this piece of paper what you want to say to each other, not just Young Duke Maya. Then take turns one person at a time.”
“That’s a really good idea? I didn’t even think about it.”
Fortunately, Maya and all the other children seemed to like my idea.
We put our names on the top of the piece of paper and started writing the letters, passing on the paper one by one.
‘Let’s see, is it the Prince?’
The first piece of paper that came to me belonged to Nicholas who was next to me.
I picked up my pen and began to write carefully on a blank piece of paper.
[Emir Saeron: Hello, Prince Nicholas!
As I write this letter, it reminds me of the time we played ‘Secret Friend’.
Your Highness is a very nice person.
When I was in class, if something difficult came up, you came to me and helped me.
Until then, I had thought that Your Highness was a very difficult and blunt person, but in fact, I found out that you are a lovely person who likes children’s books and animals.
I hope all your dreams come true.
Oh, you can’t forget me even after you go to the academy!]
‘Well……. Is it a little empty?’
I hesitated over whether to draw something cute at the end of the letter, then realized that the set time had run out and moved on to the next one.
The paper that came to me this time was Cedric’s.
There was already a letter from Nicholas written in neat handwriting on the paper.
[Nicholas: Young Duke Cedric.
It’s the first time I’ve written a letter like this, so it’s awkward.
Young Duke always liked to talk about knights and swords.
I hope that in the future, you will become a great knight and protect this empire.]
‘It’s really a Nicholas-like letter.’
I glanced over the letter, giggled, and picked up the pen again.
[Emir Saeron: Hello, Lord Cedric!
I was just about to bring up the story of the sword, but the Prince has already used it.
When I think of Lord Cedric, the first thing that comes to mind is a cool and strong knight.
A few months ago, you went to the market as an adult using artifacts.
You were really cool back then.
After about 10 years, I wonder how Lord Cedric has become a great knight.
You must have become a sword master at that time, right?
I would like to continue to be friends with Lord Cedric.
Even after Lord Cedric becomes a knight that everyone on the continent looks up to.
※Oh. Haven’t you forgotten that you were supposed to grant my wish for destroying the artifact?]
‘Somehow, the letters seem to be getting longer…….’
As I belatedly handed the paper to Jake, who was just waiting for me to hand over the letter, I groaned and shook my head.
The next paper belonged to Ninaina.
I first read the writings from Cedric and Nicholas.
‘Oh, it’s Cedric’s handwriting. He even wrote his name in a strange way!’
[I am Ce dric. (yes, this spacing is intended XD)
I’m using the jewel dagger that the Princess gave me.
Thank you.]
‘…… Is that it?’
Seeing this, I gave up my expectations of Cedric’s letter that was going to be written on my paper.
‘And Nicholas…… what?’
