Isaac.

"Niisama, what's wrong?

While sitting in the garden in Gazebo talking with Louis and Isaac, he noticed a man approaching with several knights and raised his gaze.

When he came before us, he smiled and pardoned his long lavender-colored hair as it drowned in the wind.

- Brother? There are indeed three princes and two princesses in Alta.

The third prince is His Highness Isaac. That means that this person must be either the first or the second prince.

"Ah, I heard from Dutois that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his fiancée, the Marquis Marcel, have arrived."

It's been a long time, Ricardo.

"His Royal Highness Prince Wang, welcome to our country. Thank you for your time. Please take your time until the festival. Please let me know if there's anything missing."

When Louis stood in front of the man, he greeted him with his hands on his chest.

- His Highness Ricardo, this is the Second Prince.

The gentle atmosphere and gentle eyes are also different from those of His Highness Isaac, and the surrounding air is gentle and gives an adult a sense of leeway.

When Lord Ricardo turned his gaze from Louis to me, he deepened his smile and smiled softly.

"You are the Virgin of Darkness."

"I'm Rachel Marcel. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"I was looking forward to seeing you here."

As he raised his face in gratitude to the lady, His Highness Ricardo thought for a while with his hand on his chin, and then exhaled with a slow and impressive breath.

"Ah, sure, your dark magic is really big. I was surprised."

"My brother knows the darkest magic of my Ota royal family. That's why I was thinking of introducing you at dinner tonight, but my older brother didn't want to wait."

"Yeah, I've heard you talk a lot."

Isaac loosened the slightly stiff atmosphere and looked out for Ricardo while making his expression brighter. The air between the two seems to be so mild and close that it conveys the good relationship between the two brothers.

Looking at the interaction between His Royal Highness Isaac and His Royal Highness Ricardo, His Royal Highness's gaze turned towards me and his long eyes narrowed pleasantly.

"From my brother who came back from Dutois, the Virgin of Darkness I actually met was more beautiful than any Virgin's painting."

His Highness Ricardo's words leaked with a "eh" voice, turning his gaze downwards from shame. But I wasn't the only one who was surprised.

"No, brother! Don't be rude."

"Oh? I was just telling you the Marquis de Marcel celebrated her beauty. What's the hurry?

To His Majesty Ricardo, who smiled with his hand on his chin, His Highness Isaac scratched his head and moved his gaze as if he were casually watching Louis.

"Ah, Marquis Marcel, was she the fiancée of His Royal Highness Prince Louis? I'm sorry if it bothers you."

"Ha, no way. I'm proud of my fiancée."

Really? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very helpful. "

Louis turned his arm around my waist to His Highness Ricardo, who unfortunately lost sight while lowering his eyebrows. Ha and Louis looked into his face, and Louis turned to me with a beautiful smile that was just brilliant. I wonder if it was because of your mind that you felt like emphasizing the word "fiancée" behind your beautiful smile.

His Highness Ricardo doesn't seem to care about Louis at all. Then, the knight who spoke from behind said something in a small voice, and replied only "Ah".

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to take it slower, but I was in a hurry. I'll talk to you at dinner. Don't be rude, Isaac."

"Yes, of course."

"Oh, yeah. I have something to tell you about tonight."

His Highness Ricardo thanked me and Louis for the remnants, and called His Highness Isaac with only a gaze. His Highness Isaac answered and said to us, "Please wait a moment." He went outside Gazebo.

All that remains is me and Louis.

"His Highness Ricardo is as good as ever."

"What do you mean?

"As fluffy as the wind, I'm surprised that the strong wind suddenly blows. It's hard to grasp."

Seeing Isaac and Ricardo having a conversation outside Gazebo, Louis put his face to my ear. The words that were told as if they were private were indeed words that nodded.

--It has a calm and gentle atmosphere, but I can't immediately judge who he is.

I can still tell from Lord Isaac's words earlier that it would be the shortest way to ask him about dark magic.

But it might not be possible to tell me straight away.

I was worried about what was going on. "Thank you for waiting," said His Highness Isaac. He came back and sat in the position where he had been sitting.

"I'm sorry for suddenly having a brother. But I was looking forward to seeing the Virgin.... and the other thing."

You're very close.

"Oh, no. Oh, with my brother? Are you surprised to get along?

Oh, I think I heard something. But before asking again, he shook the conversation, so Isaac wandered slightly and smiled with his eyebrows lowered in trouble.

"That's right. I truly respect you, brother, and I want to help you."

"His Highness Ricardo must be comfortable because he admires Orta's mightiest sword and the famous Isaac."

Louis glanced at Lord Ricardo's disappearance for a moment and now turned his face towards Lord Isaac with his usual beautiful smile.

"... I hope so. My brother is amazing, so I don't know if I'm really useful, but I wish I could be my right arm."

Right arm?

Yeah, that's right.

--Your right arm.

I'm sure this conversation is not just about brotherhood. It must have seeped into the purpose for which Lord Isaac called me here.

And it was dinner that day that convinced me that it wasn't wrong.
