135 That's why I hate you.

Claude's Perspective

That day── my mother fell asleep never to wake again.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

I was crying when my late mother took care of me.

I think I cried quite a lot.

I worry about the people around me crying. In other words, it was a bit subtracting (...) (...) (...).

But I kept crying as I shook my mother's body until I couldn't see her in front of me with tears.

──Mother was a saint in this country.

It seems that the Holy Maiden heals people with healing magic and sets up a barrier in this country...

The reason I didn't understand my mother's work at a young age was that I didn't understand her very well.

If only she knew a tenth of her hardships now, she might have been able to change her destiny a little.

"Mom! Mom!"

I have called her name many times, but she hasn't replied.

When I saw her like that, I was driven by despair.

──I am the first prince of this country.

Inevitably, he also received a lot of education as the next king.

But for me, it's very level and tough.

Yes, I would have been an inferior if I hadn't told you.

I was often offended by my tutor because of my poor test scores.

I think that was definitely the name of Sieghardt.

How cocky of a historian! Just remembering makes me angry.

However, I couldn't repent, and after being scolded, I decided to visit my mother's room.

Claude, you did── your best. Mom knows you're doing your best. ”

Having said that, she gently stroked my head.

Then I was satisfied with my happiness. When I was tired of crying and sleeping on my mother's lap, all my anxiety and anger blew out.

But there is no such kind mother.

"Your Majesty Claude, it's pathetic to think that (...) or (...) has just lost (...) your mother, and that's all she's going to cry about..."

What did you just say?!

"Claude! Be a little man!"

His Majesty the King──'s father raises a hand on me.

I was forced by the people around me to leave the room behind.

"Get off me! Your mother is not dead!" That's why.... "

"Embrace reality! The Holy Lady is dead!"

I resisted hard, but I can't fight it with my children.

The face of the dead mother looked very tired.

──Be a man!

Masculine?

What the hell is that?

A man can't cry when his mother dies?

Then I don't need such a thing.

What's the value to a man who can't even cry when he loses someone he loves?

I don't understand what your father said at all.

It's the same now.

◆◆

My mother's death has not changed my life.

The next Saintess was appointed and became my fiancée... but I'm not very interested in such things.

The new maiden's name was Eliane, but she treated me harshly.

This is not how── your mother should have done it.

When she said such a dissatisfaction, Eliane's expression did not change, but contained a quiet anger.

You're the first prince of this country, aren't you? I know it's hard, but... royalty stands on top of people. Even if you say that, the people will be anxious. ”

...... "

The ──old Elaine was more serious and tough than ever.

──Even now, she may have lost her mother and been mentally unstable.

But I don't know that.

I didn't want to know.

──And one day, I attended a dance party.

Nevertheless, this is like an obligation as a prince.

Apparently, it was more grand than usual today because we also invited dignitaries from our neighbors.

But I'm not good at dancing without someone to dance with.

We just have to get this over with.

That's why I was away from the venue and wasted my time alone...

Wow!

He bumps into people and falls on the spot.

And I immediately lifted up my face, and laid my eyes upon him that smote me.

"I'm sorry, I didn't look in front of you in a hurry!" Are you all right? "

and he gives me his hand.

But I did it.

Shut up!

and I got rid of it.

Then he stood up and drew closer to him.

"You! What a disrespectful fellow!" Am I the first prince of this country? You're the next king of this country!? I'll tell your father to put you to death right away! "

Oh, that's scary, isn't it?

The man gave a very troubled look.

"I wonder if he's about the same age as me..."

And yet, it feels like there's room somewhere, like an adult.

but it was a one-sided controversy,

Lord Claude! What are you doing!?

One of the ministers rushed over and entered our arbitration.

“Just in time! This guy hit me. I want the death penalty now....."

"What are you talking about!" This one is...── "

I think the minister said someone's name, but I couldn't hear it because I was angry and blood was on my head.

And the minister bowed his head many times to him that bumped into me.

But ──he apologized for my fault. [M]

And he leaves the scene.

With graceful behavior, I didn't think I was about the same age.

"Hey, why don't you just miss him!" you should tell your father too... "

"Hah... you don't know that either, do you?"

The minister sighed and looked at me as if he was stunned.

"Even though the prince of the neighboring country is so splendid... why is Lord Claude like this..."

──His Royal Highness the Prince of the Neighbouring Countries.

I know the name. It was definitely Nigel.

I have long been compared to my neighbour, His Royal Highness Prince── Nigel.

Whatever, he's smart and his sword arm is shiny. Furthermore, it seems that it has a decent character and is admired by the people at a young age.

In contrast, I can't study, and I tend to skip the practice of swords.

Listening to him was painful.

'Cause you can't help it.

Even though I'm doing my best, I can compare myself to the perfect meta-human that comes out of Goga?

When I heard about Nigel, I became even more impatient and was completely motivated.

That's why I hated my neighbor's prince, even though I had never met him.

"...... cuuu!"

That is why I cannot refute the minister's words and turn away from him.

... maybe it was Nigel back there.

Even though I was the victim, the minister only felt uncomfortable apologizing to him.

Nigel is running away from us, and he's getting farther and farther away.

I could only look at the figure.

◆◆

About ten years have passed since then.

As always, everyone is strict with me.

Well, lowlife ministers spoil me... but it's just flirting.

From their point of view, he can't defy me.

But in the face of such false obedience, I am immersed in pleasure.

I didn──'t know how people felt when I was a fool.

"... haa"

Exhale.

That way, you'll get a little tired.

"Something's boring..."

Elaine was a little softer than she was in the beginning, but she was still tough on me.

It's not very nice to overlap your mother's face, but I can't do it.

That's why I hit her hard with the meaning of sadness.

However, Elaine was not uncommon, and on the contrary, she never showed a bitter expression.

Her appearance of crying is even more charming. I've never seen it before.

Every time I look at her like that, my chest gets annoying.

That's why I hated her.

"Shall we make it tougher?" But with that, I can't think of anything that would make Eliane run away..... "

Oh, my God, I was wasting my time in a corner of the garden that wasn't very popular.

Today is a dance party.

I still didn't like the dance party after all.

A lot of beautiful women called out to me.

But no matter what kind of woman you talk to, your heart won't be annoyed.

I hate it. I hate── everybody.

No, isn't someone else's dislike?

What I really don't like is this pathetic self──.

"Your Highness Claude"

Thinking like that, a woman called out.

Looking back, there was a cute woman.

Exposed clothes that don't look like this place.

Honestly, I'm having trouble seeing her, but for some── reason, I couldn't take my eyes off her face.

She continued with a slightly troubled expression.

"I feel like I'm in love with you.──"
