229 The First Prince's distress.

Cut it out, it's the limit of patience.

Throw it out in your chest as you go down the hallway.

The frustration at the bottom of my stomach was meant to be careful not to show movement or expression, but as far as the faces of the maids who walked away from the road were concerned, they did not seem to be well controlled.

"Lord Christoph, which way...."

I can't even afford to reply to the guard who is following me, even though I look puzzled.

When you arrive at the desired room, please come inside and pick it up.Instead, he was briefly urged to "go in" and stepped into the room.

The main king of the room raised his face and gazed across the waiting desk with a pile of documents.

"How long are you going to leave it?"

There are no formal greetings or preconditions, and we hit the spotlight.

The refraining civilian slightly blurred his eyes, but the King remained unchanged.I waved my hand to instruct people to pay.After thanking him, the civilian left the room in a hurry.

I also order the escort to leave the room in sight.

After a little silence, the door was closed by his hand, which left.

The King looks back at the documents at hand.When I watched the pupils with harsh impressions follow the text, I became even more irritated.

"Your Majesty"

Call without hiding your stinging mood.But the king took the feather pen and signed it as if he had not heard my voice.

Release the documents on the approved pile and place the feather pen.When I weighed myself against the back of the chair, I heard a sharp, dry sound.The King, with his hands on his belly, finally looks at me.

So, what do you want?

You know exactly what I'm asking you.

I chewed my lips while staring straight from the front with no slight distortion.

A week ago, I received a report that something was wrong with my sister, Rose.

It seems to have been enclosed in the room ever since.I think I went to the library once, but that's all.I can't even get close to the greenhouse where I stopped by like every day.

You're not feeling well? Something bad happened to you?

I thought about it, but the answer that comes out is no.

She values her feelings more than herself.

If something tough happened, you'd be pretending to be normal instead of closing it.If it's just your problem, you'll be able to laugh cheerfully so that you don't get distracted.

It is obviously an anomaly that such a child is enclosed in the room.

Aren't you holding onto something so big that you can't fix it?

The man in front of you must have noticed.

"... if you don't move, that's fine.I'll do it myself. "

I don't remember giving you permission to visit.

There was no change in the pale blue eyes and pale voice, but was it paranoia that made me feel stunned and taunted?Whether it's the truth or the mind, it doesn't matter.

"You're not gonna give me permission."

Ha, I snorted.Even in the position of Prince Wang, I have no intention of changing the attitude that may be judged disrespectful.

A fierce and ferocious impulse is swirling at the bottom of your belly.If I don't spit it out, I'm going crazy.

"When it comes to you, don't get stupid."

"I won't deny it. But it is also because of his presence that he wished to be a wise prince."

Makes me human, whether my siblings are good or bad.

"Me and Johann are driving this kid.I won't let anyone take it. "

Silence falls indoors.

After Gi and the chair rang, the sigh leaked from the king's thin lips.

"I understand without being declared.It's not just you, it's a lifeline for a lot of people.Besides, all the dignitaries eat into the center of the country. "

In trouble, the king murmurs with his eyes down.

"Then why?"

I know, but why leave it alone?

The eyes opened after a while captured me as if I was in a hurry.

"It's not that I can't do it, I can't do it, but it's right."

……

Cannot draw on intentions and waits silently for the next word.

"The act of closing is to cut off contact with others.Possible actions are actions to protect yourself from others.And vice versa. "

"On the contrary....."

The king's words were repeated as if he were talking to himself.

The opposite of protecting yourself from someone.

So Rose is trying to protect someone from herself...?

You're such an idiot.

There's no way he can hurt others.

A child who can prioritize people over himself.

Even if it becomes emotional, I don't think there is an option to harm anyone.

Rose is a human being, so she will have negative emotions, but given her temperament, there is no link to violence.

It's an old problem of rational control.

Unless someone gives you an order, there's no chance.

……

I had a bad feeling after thinking about it.

The possibility of ignoring her will and hurting others.

The word "demon king" comes to mind.

At the same time, a dreadful sweat erupted from my whole body.

"Contact with guests from other worlds didn't make any particular difference.There was nothing unusual after that, but I didn't expect it to happen now. "

"Ah, that's right. I heard Fuzuki had no problem touching it.Then is there another problem she's having? "

Those who stand up should always assume the worst situation.

Even though a human being in the position of Prince Wang should not be mistaken in his hopeful observation, he desperately clings to the possibility.

"That's not true. It was a mistake to think that we could burn it in contact with our guests."

You know, the King pokes the reality at me.

"Under the guidance of the wizard chief, the guests are learning how to control their abilities, but it is similar to magic.I don't know how far it goes. "

Swords and magic can hurt vessels, but they have no power to destroy the Demon King himself.

Suppose Fuzuki's abilities, which can also be called trump cards, have not yet blossomed and are not enough to destroy them.

"Considering the seal, I already hit my hand.However, it is not a good idea to move from here.... it's like you're being held hostage right now. "

Deep wrinkles were engraved between the king's eyebrows, saying so with a bitter voice.

The difference from the usual faceless expression seemed to describe the imminent situation, and I felt a heartless feeling that my feet would collapse.

Hold down your shaky body tightly.

Even if I look away, the current situation does not improve.

When you mourn your precious sister being taken hostage.

"... is there anything I can do?"

Asked with a push to kill voice, the King glanced lightly, saying he was surprised.

After staring at his face as if he were in a mood to read, he exhaled his stuffed breath.

"Be quiet and do your job."

I'll tell you otherwise.

"Some of the people I want to protect include you.Don't get too close and hurt yourself. "

I wanted to tell you not to speak as well as you did, but I wonder if it was because the King's expression was unexpectedly soft.

But a moment later, as if it had been a mistake, I replaced it with the usual ruthlessness.

"If you decide that this spirit is the limit, switch from extinction to seal.Be prepared for that. "

Hold your fist tightly and endure the impulse.

I can't nod, but I can't argue.I understood that there was no point in calling me "no" without an alternative.

There's nothing I can do here right now.

Instead of wasting time, think of ways to save Rose.

Tell her to leave the room and turn her heel back.

On the verge of closing the door, I heard the words of a selfless king.

"But I can't imagine that noble weather girl being swallowed by darkness."

Words like that of a father are difficult to understand, but so do I.

Gentle and warm, my sun.Darkness doesn't suit her.
