17 Episode XVII The Unfinished Novel

"Yes, my sister, Ellis."

Meer going upstairs with Anne's guide.

"Yes, I'm the same age as Master Meer, but my body is weak... I hope you are as good as Master Meer..."

Anne smiles lonely.

"... that's tough"

"No, but it doesn't mean I'm sick. Because thanks to Master Meer, my salary has gone up, too. I can feed you a lot of nutritious food, so you're getting better, aren't you?

With that said, Anne knocked on the door.

"Ellis, are you awake?

"Ah, sister, go ahead"

Small voice, Anne opens the door when she hears it.

It was a small room there.

Unlike Meer's room, which is full of things, a room with only furniture for a wooden desk and bed.

On the desk, there was a line of worn out books that you would have read many times. Books are precious, so I know I've read them many times, but every book that I did that looked well loaded.

"I'm sorry, sister. I can't greet you..."

Was it sleeping? A redhead girl rubbing her eyes. Vibrant, everywhere hair seems highly habitual and very similar to Anne's.

"Already, Your Highness, you're home... Oh, princess, you wanted to see..."

With that said, the girl, Ellis, wore the big glasses she had on her pillow...,

"Ha...?

When I saw Meer's face standing next to Anne, I opened her mouth pounding.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Ellis. This is Meer Luna Tiermoon. I always take care of your sister Anne."

"Wow, wow, oh, uh, nice to meet you. In this outfit, if you'll excuse me, Your Highness, I..."

"I'm listening. It must be Mr. Ellis. Don't make it any easier."

Meer smiles at Ellis as she tries to get up.

"So, but..."

"Ellis, sweeten your words. Master Meer is a very generous man, so if you're so disrespectful, you'll forgive me."

"Well, I won't suffer."

It is Meer who is good at being praised.

Then, for a while, Meer enjoyed a cheer with Ellis.

More than anything, what delighted Meer was Ellis's refusal to accept ice confectionery.

"It's painful to refuse what Her Royal Highness gave me, because my body is going to get cold"

Ellis said so terribly sorry, but Meer liked it in one shot.

Because, of course, the ice candy of the memorial has turned to me.

Meer, it's a smile. I'm in such a good mood that my body is playing.

"Good for you, Ellis. You said you wanted to see Meer."

Anne, too, smiles happily beside Ellis.

"Oh, you missed me so much?

"Yes! Um, me, I'm writing a story..."

After saying it in an excited way, Ellis brought a bunch of paper that was placed on the edge of her desk.

The cover read "The Poor Prince and the Golden Dragon" and what seemed to be the title.

- Oh, this title, somewhere...?

In Meer's head, I remember coming back.

Life in the dungeon, anyway, was boring. Anyway, there's nothing to do.

I didn't like being taken before everyone and cursed for calling it a trial, but as much as I had nothing to do, it was a painful time for Meer.

Such folds, it was the poor prince and the golden dragon, that Anne spoke to me.

It was an adventurous play that started with stories like Meer had never heard, where the prince, who had become poor by giving treasure to the poor, helped a dragon who had been injured and could no longer move.

In the Tiermoon Empire, it's a fantasy novel I don't see much of, and Meer liked it, but in the end, I couldn't hear it until the end.

I was executed before I asked, not that.

Anne's sister, the author, dies of starvation before she can write it down.

Before he was executed, one of the last things on Meer's mind was her inability to hear the ending of this story.

- Totally, I forgot.

Meer thinks about it.

Fate, little by little, is changing. I don't know if famine will happen, and if Ludwig makes a good move, it might not be so tragic.

But......

Parallax and, after turning a bunch of paper, Meer looked at Ellis.

"This story is very interesting."

"What?"

Ellis tilted her neck with a strange face.

Exactly, I guess I didn't think I'd be able to read it so quickly. But whatever her reaction, Meer said.

"You, serve me as my embracing artist"

"... Huh?
