Ever since I broke up with Eliane, I've been walking around the castle on my feet.

"Cecily..."

As she did so, her memories disappeared in her mind from one day to the next.

──Was it about three years ago?

When I was still a student, there was a busy period when exams and official duties overlapped on── campus.

The body and mind complained of fatigue and were on the verge of breaking.

However, on the surface, I was still trying to live my daily life as usual.

Nigel is amazing. I always look cool and do great things. "

It's really amazing, isn't it? It must be fundamentally different from us in the way we make our bodies and our minds. "

The classmates around me praised me.

I respond with a smile. [M]

But ──his heart was screaming.

As the representative of the country, I always had to show the norm to everyone.

That's why I can't let the screams of my heart out. I was afraid that if I did that, everyone would lose sight of me... and the evaluation I had built up so far would collapse.

Nevertheless, I was satisfied with such a life. [M]

Slowly, I will be king of this country. [M]

I felt unparalleled joy in drawing the people as the king of ideals and developing the country.

Therefore, that evening, I was studying by expanding my textbooks in my room. I think I stayed up late at night.

At that time, I heard a knock on the── door and someone came in from the hallway.

It's Cecilie.

”Cecilie, what's wrong? Can't you sleep?

No......

She shook her head to the side and then offered me a small bag. [M]

I've been making cookies for a while. Take this and beat it. "

I think it was more of a surprise than an emotion.

Open the bag. There was a lot of colorful cookies in it. The shapes are uneven and I don't think it was bought somewhere. It must be true that Cecilie made it.

Of course, Cecily was even younger than she is now. I wonder if the castle cock helped me make it.

It is── sweet to try a bite of cookies. Rather, it's too sweet.

Did I misallocate the sugar?

However, its sweetness stains your tired body. It was the best cookie I've ever had.

That's why.

Thank you, Cecily. It's delicious.

and told Cecilie the truth from the bottom of his heart.

Then she smiled and leaned against me,

When you're used to it, you better be easy with it. Nhhh, you've done too much. "

and moved his mouth.

No one was going to understand the fatigue.

In fact, my classmates,── Abby and Father didn't say anything after seeing me like I usually do.

But only Cecilie was different.

She was the only one who noticed my heart screaming. [M]

When I noticed it, tears were dripping from my eyes.

Fufufu, now you've shown Cecily something that's not like oniichan.

The smile fills my face.

I originally liked sweet things, but since then, I may have liked them even more.

Cecilie is a dear sister to me.

But ──you may never see her again.

I tried to behave as calmly as I could in front of Eliane. But the truth is, I wanted to express my anxiety.

But don't do that.

If you do that, everyone will be worried.

At least in public, you must play the prince of everybody's dreams.

That's it, I switched my head again to search for Cecilie.

"Hurry up and don't listen to the scholar. It's definitely in the castle...."

It was when I muttered to myself.

"...!?"

Intense dizziness. Your headache keeps coming.

I accidentally put my hand on the nearby wall. Otherwise, he would have collapsed.

"What the hell...?"

No, not just now.

I haven't been feeling well lately.

I thought it was because I worked a little too hard, but this was a little different from my usual fatigue──.

Come on, be true to your desires. You're ugly now.

Again.

It was the same voice that I heard when I exchanged swords with Douglas.

I've never heard a voice── like this. Have I ever met the Lord of this voice?

My memory goes back, but I couldn't remember it well because of my headache.

"Who are you...?"

But I didn't get an answer.

My enquiries disappeared into the void.
