27 Chapter 1, the last story, their encounter, and then.

Several months have passed since that event. Gaddiel and Rasuel were on their way to the Van Craift family. A bouquet is held in his hand. Loren, the steward, greeted me in front of the gate. This is always the case.

"Your Highness ... I can't meet Ellen no matter how many times you come."

Lauren did not lose his expression, but simply said so.

"... it's good at a glance."

"Is it not okay?"

That day I first met my father. The beautiful girl with beautiful eyes was looking at her in the arms of a hero.

Later, the waking brother panicked. The grudge that I heard from the haze. The voices of those who were crying and crying for pain and begging to stop, then turned into cursed voices when they grudged the royal family.

The sight I saw in my dream is burned into my mind and never leaves. Humans were running over the spirits and doing something. After that, a vivid sight that the strong spirits that came out slaughtered the humans with anger. That girl was crying. Why do you do so bad things? That's it. I wanted to scream with you why you did that terrible thing.

However, after waking up, my father called me and turned blue. That dream event was a fact. The people who did that business were the ancestors of the royal family. His Majesty caught the castle library. Among them, a part was finally found in a book kept secret by a spirit wizard.

***

Monster Tempest 200 years ago. The actions taken by the king at that time to protect the people. The royal family had been abandoned by spirits for nearly 200 years. Now that the reason is known, the remaining royal family has no choice but to turn pale.

An ancestor who wants power to protect the people and has put his hand on contraindications. Humans first took several spirit wizards hostage. The spirits are sacrificed to help the contracted human. Repeating the negative chain, the spirits were magically crucified alive. He was hurt to the extent that he did not die, and while the voices of the spirits' pain were singing around, the spirit friends who heard the voice appeared one after another to help their brothers. He identified the location, forcibly captured the spirit, and repeated the same process. The surroundings overflowed with spirits that survived along the way. Still, he treated many spirits as tools to secure the gate. And finally came out of the place where they thought the gate would open was the furious spirits.

"Sweet humans! ! What a sinful thing! ! 』

Humans were panicked by the appearance of the large spirits, which cut the spirit wizards one after the other. Some are burned and turned into ash in an instant, others are struggling in a sphere made of water and unable to breathe. People who were hit by huge stones one after another and easily collapsed had their positions reversed instantly.

When the area turned into a sea of blood, a word of silence accompanied with the silence came and further anger was dropped.

"Where is your king?"

With the expression of the spirits of anger, humans finally realized that they had angered those who should not be offended.

***

Gate payments for visits to the Van Craift family have recently disappeared. She always brings her souvenirs when traveling to the Van Craift family. It was a variety of accessories for girls, sweets and flowers. Lauren claims that Ellen is not in this mansion. To convince it, he was taking his brother home. Still, I couldn't meet Ellen at a glance.

When Ellen was told by her Majesty that she was drawing spirit blood, her brother wanted to apologize to Ellen. If they were spirits, they thought it was natural that they, the royal family, would apologize. Ellen heard that she had fallen ill, and returned to the spirit world. However, I wanted to apologize directly and could not give up. I wanted to see them at a glance. Ellen's father, Lovel, had heard that he was in and out of the Vanclift family, so he wanted to meet and talk to him in person and had to go home many times.

A spirit festival held every year. At the end of the festival, a royal family praying for a stone monument in the forest. I have never been asked why she prays at this stele. Since the royal family had been abandoned by spirits for about 200 years, they only learned that in this forest, which is said to be connected to the spirit world, pray for them to respond.

But now I can affirm it is different. That grudge, the place of the tragedy I dreamed of, was where the monument was.

***

On that day, they headed to the Van Craift family as usual and were confused when something unusual happened. Usually I had a cup of tea, and I was discouraged that I couldn't meet again today, but I returned home, but on the way I met an unfamiliar girl.

"What are you guys?"

She was a brown-haired, cute but rustic girl. The brothers looked down, leaning on their heads.

"Are you from this house?"

"This is my house"

"... what? Your father's name is Lovell?"

"It's your uncle's name. My dad is Sauvell."

The girl said to Rasuel, who was surprised at whether she was Sauvell's daughter.

"Who are you? Why are you in my house?"

"... Are you not asking Lauren?"

"Loren? He doesn't tell me anything!"

The eyes of a girl suddenly became angry.

"It's always so. It doesn't tell me anything that doesn't matter to me and my mother. My maids said my cousin Ellen was talking to my dad even though he was the same age. Yeah, isn't it? "

"Ellen! Did you say Ellen?"

"Do you have Ellen?"

At first, the girl who was stumbling upon the swords of the brothers became increasingly angry.

"Everyone is Ellen, what is Ellen ?! I've never met!"

"Did you never meet your cousin?"

"Yes! I can't meet you! Dad and uncle, neither maid nor Lauren. I want to complain!"

"It's a complaint?"

"Yeah! Am I the successor of this house? But everyone says Ellen Ellen! Don't you think it's terrible even though you're studying hard?"

The brothers look away from the angry girl. We didn't even see them, but we didn't think of our cousins. Gaddiel knew that Ellen's existence was a very important person, and that it might be the cause.

"I wonder if you can't meet ... we can't meet you either."

"... I see. But why would you want to meet Ellen?"

"I've been to this house many times since I've always wanted to apologize directly."

"Many times ... ah! You guys !? Always bring gifts!"

"Oh, oh ...

"Why do I always have Ellen when I don't have a gift? If you come to this house, give me!"

Brothers were all eyes on the appearance of a girl claiming to be a natural right. Just at that time, she was found by Loren who came just to be late.

"What are you doing, Raffilia?"

"... I could talk to you because there were customers."

The girl seems to be named Raffilia. The brothers, who had eyes on the high-pressure girl she came across for the first time, thought Loren came and helped.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness. Did something happen?"

"No, good. I'm back today."

"Understood"

"Your Highness ...?

Loren's reproach flies to the girl who screams yellow.

"Raffilia-sama"

"Well ..."

Gadiel smiled at the girl who changed her face. Gadiel's expression turns Rafilia's face red.

"Well, don't laugh!"

"Oh, sorry."

"Rafilia, what do you say to your Highness! Please do not hesitate to do so ... Hey, I'm sorry to see you. I'm waiting for the carriage outside."

"Oh, I see ... Rafilia"

"... What?"

"The next time I come, I'll bring you some souvenirs.

He heard a joyful voice from behind Gadiel, who turned his back, and heard Lauren's rebuke to cover it further.

He smiled and picked up his pick-up carriage, saying that his brother, sitting opposite, was rare.

"My brother looks happy."

"Oh, it's the first time I talked with that attitude."

"Are you a rough woman?"

His brother laughed again at his brother who wrinkled in the eyebrows without knowing it.

Then the three began to speak well. It didn't take long before they became friends as childhood friends.

***

Every year, a spiritual festival is held on a fixed day. A few years had already passed without seeing Ellen. One day, the brothers only prayed at the stele. To the past spirits. And to Ellen. He has visited the Van Craift family frequently, but is now playing with Rafilia.

But every time I see this monument, I remember a beautiful girl who was burned into my mind.

I want to meet you at a glance. They just hoped so.

It has become commonplace in recent years for the Princes to keep praying forever during this series of praying to the stele at the royal family's visit to the Spirit Festival. In front of the monument, two brothers discuss the year's events.

During this time, something like this happened.

Don't lie, brother! Isn't that because of my older brother! !

Sorry Sorry. So we went to the Van Craift family together. But you aren't there.

Hey, Ellen. We want to apologize to you. Will you meet someday?

How have you grown since then?

I want to see you at a glance ...

Instead of going to the festival, he talks to his monument with his brother until the sun sets.

A place that crosses the world and hits the back of the stele.

They didn't know that Ellen was sitting with her knees every year, spilling tears and listening all the time until they couldn't hear her.
