97 Second Prince Exchange.

* From the perspective of Johann von Velfart, the second Prince of Nebel.

A garden tree pruned in a complex shape blocks my path like a maze. Sole, which will draw a beautiful pattern when viewed from above, is only an obstructive obstacle when viewed up close.

I walked, feeling angry when the gardener heard.

"I can't walk around in a winding way and it's hard to walk. I don't know what art is, but why can't I make a single passage straight? How can I enjoy a pattern from the ground up that I can see it from above? Is this just an obstacle? "

The words I refrain from speaking into my mouth are exhaled from the mouth of the next human, containing many times more poison.

"The creature of the artist is really hard to understand. I don't think so, Johan."

The boy standing next made a frown and asked me for consent.

A thin body that can be said to be too thin, at the height of one head lower than me. Even so, the attitude is as big as people. Although the features are fairly well-organized, the sober impression cannot be wiped out. The color of hair and eyes is not the most light brown or interesting in the Vint Kingdom. It looks like you will never be able to find it once you are buried in the crowd. But the arrogant expression negates the mediocrity.

Age, only twelve.

Despite this, his expression and attitude are reminiscent of a grumpy old man.

His name is Nacht. The second prince of the Wind Kingdom, Nacht von Elster.

"I personally agree, but probably you and I are a minority. Your brother and your princess seem to be having a lot of fun."

I smiled bitterly and pointed ahead with my gaze. Beyond the winding corridor, there were men and women who talked intimately.

The man is a tall and strong boy. He has sharp, double, dignified eyebrows, a nose line and a gorgeous face. Is it because of his friendly smile that the hair and eyes of Sarasara, who have no habit, have the same color as Nahat but get a very bright impression?

It is called the Prince of Light by the people, and he is a long-cherished prince, the first Prince of Vint, Licht von Elster.

"What a tight face. Have a woman samurai on a daily basis, aren't you still lacking? If you like your older brother, you'll never lose yourself."

By the way, he exhales a long sigh next to him, but he is not specifically called the Prince of Darkness. The nickname I heard at Ichii was Prince Yuki. I understand.

"It's not just my brother, because if you're such a good man, women won't let it go."

Suppress the desire to agree from the bottom of the heart and make the tea cloudy.

Then Nahat opens his eyes lightly and stares at me. A few seconds later, she made a subtle look that was hard to say.

"You don't sound disgusting"

"Is that so?"

"That's right. My brother has a good face, but it's definitely inferior if she's next to you. All the castle maids and noble ladies are crazy about you."

In tribute to the cynic Nahat, the affirmation is foolish. But humility is also meaningless. She smiled without saying anything, and she looked away from her eyes.

"Well, the heart of the important woman doesn't seem to be stopped."

"... Is it an important woman?"

Is your sister?

The first thing that came to mind was the appearance of a real sister who hadn't seen him for four years.

Clear platinum eyes with undulating rich platinum blonde. Lips like petals on soft cheeks that are pale in color. It looks like a girl in a painting, but her smile is as cute as a flower.

It was as cute as an angel at the time, but how beautiful is it now? I'm looking forward to meeting you, horrible. It's a complicated feeling.

"Is Princess Julia not too close to you?"

I finally realized my mistake in the word Princess Yulia.

That's right. Thinking normally, I'm wondering about my real sister in "Essential Woman".

"Yes, unfortunately, I don't seem to be as good as your brother."

Only on the surface, it behaves terribly so that you do not realize a terrible thought circuit.

However, he couldn't pass Nahato, and he snorted with an embarrassed face.

"It's not such an innocent love story that's going on between you guys. I don't know if you're an older brother who's made of muscle up to the brain miso. And the raccoon dogs. "

"I don't know how to treat a pretty princess as a fox anyway."

"Cute princess, hey ..."

Nahat's gaze, muttering in a reminiscent tone, was poured into a girl snuggling next to Prince Licht.

A delicate body with a small height that is only around the chest of Prince Licht. Black crystal eyes with straight black hair and long eyelashes. The princess in the deep window, whose skin is morbidly white and is likely to be broken if handled a little rough. The first princess of the Raptor Kingdom, Her Highness Julia von Merkle.

Licht hits each other to talk eagerly and smiles softly. If you look only at that figure, you can see only an adult beautiful girl.

But she is not a woman as she looks. The cold gaze at me proves it only when Prince Licht is not looking.

While young or weak, she is a respectable princess.

Perhaps you correctly understand the role you have been given.

"How good would it be to be just a pretty princess. It would have been quite annoying."

Nacht with his arms folded had deep wrinkles between his eyebrows.

@Wind Kingdom is a ally of Nebel, but has a friendly relationship with Raptor. But that's because Nebel and Raptor aren't clearly in conflict. In the unlikely event of a war, Vint will stand on the Nebel side.

At that time, if Queen of Vint is a princess of Raptor, it can be troublesome.

"I would have ideally had your older sister become the queen and take control of my older brother."

"Joke"

Immediately, Nahat smiled bitterly.

It's not a laugh. Why should my big sister become such a woman-loving brain muscle bride?

"My brother is simple and fond of women, but he's not a bad guy. And I don't think it's a bad story for your sister to be an allied queen."

"... you're right."

If you don't put your personal feelings in between, I think it's a very good connection.

But that was until a few years ago. It was when Vinto and Raptor had no connection.

If you now reject the Raptor princess and deliver it to your fiance, the first prince of the kingdom of Vint, you may be involved in an extra battle.

If you are determined to be a disturber, you can be targeted for life.

"But I'm a useless brother who can't leave my sister, so I'd like my sister to stay home if possible."

"... Well, let's do that."

Nahat fluttered his one eyebrow unpleasantly to me, pasting a smiley smile, but he did not pursue it any further.

"Nahto, Johan!"

I was called out from a distance. At first glance, Prince Licht is waving at the end of the garden maze.

"Come on early! Let's make tea!"

Speaking of which, did you come down to the garden to have tea in the arbor?

I looked back at the cheerful smile that seemed to have no trouble, and I remembered the background of the matter. Looking back, Prince Richt waved even larger. It's like a friendly dog. It's not really a bad Onito. I'm just a little sloppy at women and just not good at using my head.

"He looks like a brain. Does he remember the story of the Western inspection I said?"

The next Nahhat mutters holding his forehead as if tired.

"If you say west, is it a forest near the border with Skelz?"

"... Please stop understanding the ten by one."

"Recently, the export of timber to Flamme has increased. Even though the southwest forest is vast, its resources are limited."

In some cases, logging restrictions and tree planting should be considered. In addition, forests have always had tribes living there. We must not forget their consideration for indigenous peoples. However, it was decided that it was a good area for me to step into, and I stopped speaking.

But one. I remembered what I should have heard and added.

"Speaking of which, illness is prevalent in a town near the western border."

"What's that? I haven't heard such a story, but where is it?"

Nacht opens his eyes and screams.

"It's a familiar merchant. He told me that fever is rare in the West rather than the South."

"Is it fever? It's not that there's no single epidemic in the West ... but it seems better to be mindful."

"Nahato?"

Prince Licht's bright voice came over Nahhat's voice with a difficult face.

"Well, that foolish brother! What if you're drinking tea !?"

Respond to Nahat, who muttered with a sneaking voice, mumbling, and now I will go.

"Johan, tell me more later. If possible, I'd like to hear from the merchant directly."

"I understand"

After nodding, raise your face. Behind the arbor where Prince Licht and Princess Julia waited, I saw dark clouds hanging in the distant sky.

The wind rubbing my cheeks feels moist.

It's about to rain. After leaving alone, I started walking toward the arbor.
