"So, how was the Salim district?

"Oh, it was terrible. Those who smelled so bad that they thought their noses would bend, more and more air, and lean into the gullies crawling through the ground.

I'm not begging. Because there's no one to bless. I could only hide myself and sit still. "

Nor did I realise that His Highness's one name had changed from "I" to "I", and I looked straight at His Highness.

My heart screams at stories that make me want to block my ears, but this is something I need to hear, I thought.

"One kid came nearby and stared at me without saying anything about me. He looked like he was about 5, but could actually be up there. I was thin and thin.

When I gave him the apple I happened to have, he received it and ran away. But that's all I could do.

That stuff just filled my temporal belly a little. And it's just one person. There's a lot more to be done over there, not like that.

But I was too helpless then. "

Nature and tears overflowed my eyes in His Highness's words, which just spoke pale and quiet.

"Many people in the Salim district are not even clarity about household registration. But he's certainly a national of this country.

Since then, I have sworn that I will devote my life to my country in a true way.

I don't need a place where there's no light in the country. "

This man knows despair.

I know my powerlessness.

So I can stay so perfect.

So I'm trying to build on it.

So I crave power.

His Royal Highness lowered his brow sorry to say, "You've spoken too much," he put me in his arms and gently slept in bed.

And when he stroked my hair with a calm face, "I'm sorry I forced you to," he said a good word when he came back.

Regrets abounded.

Accepting now on top of that.

But I also have new regrets now.

With that magic...

I specialize in water magic, so something must have been done.

For example, if we worked with the alchemists, we could have found a way to clean the sewage.

In particular, it seems that hygiene problems, water problems, make diseases endemic in slums and lead to death.

So His Highness chose me as his fiancée?

Seeking collaborators.

Speaking of which, I feel His Highness told me a few stories about the Salim district when I was 14 when I got engaged.

What did I say about that?

I'm sure.

"Your Highness, please don't talk dirty.

You don't have to worry about people living in different worlds. "

And trampled His Highness's heart.

Many times.

I wonder what His Highness would have looked like to me for saying that.

It's only a guess, but I'm sure they've often returned such reactions since I was 10 years old.

So you stopped looking for understanding?

On the contrary, I decided to increase His Highness's own value and make him want to use his powers for his own good.

I guess I'm trying to guide you and carry out your plan.

It's all just speculation.

Because you don't say the key thing, you hide everything in that smile.

His Highness said he was someone who could forgive me.

But that's not true.

Your Highness is the one...

Didn't you forgive me for ruining your expectations unbroken?

I had no choice because I didn't know, it's not.

I didn't try to know.

Let's learn.

It may be too late.

There may not be anything I can do about losing my magic powers.

Still, I want to learn.

I just kept staring out the window, like I was staring at the sun that was sinking and invisible.
