100 Upset of the first prince.

Christophe von Velfalt perspective.

Peta, Tan. The falling rain hits the glass.

In the calm room, only the regular sound of turning the papers was heard along with the irregular rain.

Some people may feel at ease. But for me now, it's only frustrating. Looking at the face of the person sitting on the sofa opposite is superfluous. Also the location is bad. Regardless of calling into the office during the day, why did he call into his room at night. What's more, the caller left me alone and crazy about the documents.

"Your Majesty"

Endure the sigh you want to exhale and call out with a flat voice.

However, the man sitting in the opposite seat rolled up the documents as if he had not heard. That you can ignore this presence without moving one eyebrow. I want to measure the thickness of the skin on the surface. No, if you spend time on such wasteful things, is it more meaningful to imagine the cute faces of your brothers and sisters?

Looking away from the uninteresting King's face and looking into the window behind me, I decided to recall the faces of my brothers and sisters according to my desires.

"Chris brother"

The smile of my sister calling me comes to mind. An unprotected smile that my older sister usually shows in rare cases. A soft look and voice convey the full range of trust. How dear

My cute rose. I was reminded of her and the irritation was dissipated.

I'm having fun, and evoke memories one by one. Rose in his head goes back to his childhood little by little from his departure.

And beside his little sister, his brother stands. Johann's brother, who hasn't seen him for four years. His growth was impressive, but what is it now?

Letters that come regularly are almost like reports, with few personal affairs. That's a bit lonely for my brother.

I noticed that my height was growing and my pain was painful, and that a woman was worried. I wanted to get such a casual consultation from my brother, but it seemed impossible.

"Did you read Johan's report?"

The king, who had been silent until now, opened his mouth as if he had read my thoughts.

"Is it going to accompany the inspection to the west of Vint?"

I'm disturbed by my recollection, and I feel uncomfortable, but give it back.

I had been informed that I would accompany the visit to the first prince of the Wind Kingdom. The king nods and turns over the documents at hand.

"The purpose is to meet with the frontier and visit the southwest forest. It's too late."

The King exhales a sigh, possibly containing a stupor.

It is not the report of Johan, but the judgment of the Kingdom of Vint. There is no objection to it. I also thought that Vint's response was slow.

Since the land trade with the Kingdom of Flamme has become possible, the forest trees south of the Kingdom of Vint have been cut down at a terrible rate.

Because it was more time-consuming than the value of a single piece of wood, it was a forest that had not been watched until now.

People flock to resources as if fighting with us, and the forest is being devoured. Especially in the southwest, close to Flamme, the decline in resources is remarkable.

"Before the diplomatic severance with Skelz was lifted, there was timber trade with Framme. Even with the possibility that even younger children would be able to anticipate the more demand that would be gained if land could be used. It should have been set up. ''

King placed a stack of paper on his desk and added, “I'm not sure yet,” with little interest.

"I think the resources were too abundant. Given the vastness of the forest, I thought that cutting down a tree alone would not be a big problem. But the resources are exhausted in an instant.

The way to talk with the lords, set the law, and get it to work is steep. In the meantime, the trees are being cut down, and the forest continues to decrease. If the forest is reduced, the land becomes thinner, and the people who live there become less comfortable with their daily lives.

After planting trees on barren land, the forest does not revive. Before the forest is lost, it must be stopped.

"First of all, how far can we talk in a meeting with Hakuraku Hen? It depends on the skill of Your Highness, ..."

"Even before that, it's suspicious that it will be a decent discussion."

The King looks at the documents on the desk.

Looking at the gesture, I remembered that Johann's letter wrote not only inspections and deforestation, but also things of concern.

"Is it sick?"

West of Wind. The disease seems to be prevalent in a town near the border with Skelz.

The number of sick people has not yet been ascertained, but depending on how the disease spreads, Hakuraku Haku will probably be more involved in his case.

"It is rare for a fever to spread in the west rather than the south.

"If it's related to deforestation, the chances aren't zero. Be ready for help."

"If it is a new species, there is no silver bullet in Japan."

The king, who was simply cut off, showed a prejudice.

Hum, put your finger on the chin.

"... Speaking of which, I don't know what kind of disease it will work for, but there was a daughter who went looking for a silver bullet."

The state of the king muttering with his eyes closed was impressive. His expression hasn't changed and he's not laughing. But is it always an illusion that the light blue eyes, which are usually inorganic, look slightly shining?

"That's really a shit. It's somehow irrational, but it's somehow at the core."

The king said in a voice that was mixed with amazed and impressed.

"Is that ... Rose Mary, my sister?"

"That's it"

"Rose Mary is now ..."

What are you doing?

The voice of the question shook. An important sister who has left for a distant foreign country. How are you Do you feel painful? Every time I thought so, I spent a sleepless night.

I couldn't know how to do it because I wasn't allowed to wear an escort. I just prayed.

Looking at me as I swallowed up, the King presented me with the documents she had avoided aside.

"Report"

"!"

I didn't say “what” or “who”. But I understood immediately.

Reach out and grab as if to take away.

When I looked at me disturbed, the king made a frowning face, saying she was sad, but did you know? As I read it in a bite, it spelled out how Rose traveled. The plain report doesn't say anything extra. But I seemed to be able to see the roses that deepened the trust with the sailors and passengers. The hot thing builds up.

However, the moment I caught a sentence, I felt the fear that my heart would freeze.

"... pirates ...!?"

"..."

The sound of someone's breath overlapped my stunned voice. A noise sounds behind me. Looking back, I saw Leonhard's pale face.

The sway of a man who has been performing his duties without ever making a noise accelerates my fear. I knew it was so, and my hands shook.

My important sister. An irreplaceable treasure.

Dear child who gave vivid colors to my black and white world.

There is no future to lose. Even if I deny it in my head, reading the next sentence is terribly scary.

"... That's a ridiculous being."

The king muttered like solitary.

"How many people are at fault. Just thinking about it is scary."

I couldn't afford to analyze what I'm saying now.

The King glances at me as he is frozen and sighs.

"I don't know how many hours I'm going to spend, but read it. If you're a princess, you'll know that you're not reading a report or something."

I was suggested to be safe, and I felt like I was going to lose my strength. In the future, a man carrying a country will work as a body. I feel sad, but now relief has won.

You can hear a faint sound again from behind. It was not me who exhaled relief.

The King's gaze deviates from me and is poured behind him.

"You seem tired."

"I'm sorry"

Leonhardt, who was disliked, immediately apologized without making excuses.

"No, you don't have to apologize, but ..."

When I heard the words that followed, I was surprised at a beat.
