"... brother, we're going in.

Concon, and knock on the back of your hand alone.

While I understand that I haven't heard back, … I still want to, speak up, and then step into my brother's room.

It's a closed, dim room with curtains.

To my visit, the maids, guards and squires who were in the room without instructions left the room silently, as usual. I don't even have words. And myself, I don't want to see anyone.

I only gaze at my brother lying in bed, with his head bowed by them as he leaves deeply. It's not like they don't have words of labor to take care of their brother every day at 4: 00 or 6: 00 and keep protecting themselves. But at the same time, while I was away, the fact that they were holding my brother's life was... terrible.

... not that I know who will betray me again.

Jarrah, every time Jarrang and I step closer to the bed, the whole body decoration sounds.

Even his brother's reaction to the sound was faint, and here for a while it stopped rumbling like it initially did. My symptoms didn't settle,... I just wasn't even left with the power to move anymore.

From the dead throat, only a sound that doesn't even sound like "ah... ka..." can be heard leaking and not even a word can be heard groaning.

My dry eyes are shaking spookily when they open. Even if I let it close gently with my hands, it opens up again when I groan. The body covered in the bed has now also deteriorated badly. Only the light outside leaking from the deadline curtain lights the room thinly.

"Brother, the gold excavation is going well.... will be able to offer it to Freesia safely this month.

Fergus and Dario, regents and prime ministers, rushed to set up the system after his brother fell and decided to provide money to Freesia.

After offering free of charge, even royal carriages carry large amounts of money each month to the kingdom of Friesia, which takes ten days. That alone exacerbated the decline in our country. Though the fear of gold running out of the bottom remains, it is all the people of our country who mine, process and carry it. There's no reason to be unburdened.

When I didn't even understand how it worked, I also suspected that it was at first that Fergus and Dario were part of Freesia.

I rushed to give lectures to ten teachers on industry and trade-related issues to gain knowledge, but… so far there have been no problems. But after I understood everything, I started to hold the rudder myself. Not that I know when, who wants the gold vein again, and embezzles it.

For the sake of the security of our country, the gold pulse cannot be the only source of loss of quality or number. It's easier for me to grasp it by myself. I now have all the knowledge I need to do that.

"... brother. My brother...... The old Chinensis,... also, apparently unloaded slaves.

Soon after coming under the control of the Radiya Empire, the kingdom of Chinesis had begun to unload slaves on a regular basis, as had other dependent states.

I also hear that you are still bribing domestic criminals... but it will be time to run out of them. It is a country with a lot of kind-hearted people whose faith was originally deep.

I used to visit with my brother a lot, but everyone called my name, welcomed me warmly, and sometimes fed me handmade dishes, etc. My brother's friend, my brother, also honored me as the next king of Cerseis. Oh, no. They are now.

I resent my country no more.

He betrayed and fell the kingdom of Chinensis and sold it to the Radian Empire.

He made a covenant with the kingdom of Friesia, the great power, that he was loved by the people for the cuteness of the country and deceived even King Joan.

If I were alone, my brother and even my people still hated me, and I was cursed like a sinner. Moreover, in an instant, high walls were erected at the border to cut each other off. From the old Chinensis,... it was nothing more than an expression of intent from your brother.

You have to forgive me for the kingdom of Cerseis.

And my people, … there's no reason for me or my brother to do that. I believed me and my brother were being deceived and threatened by the kingdom of Friesia. And my people also despised them as soon as the old Chinensis was deprived of everything as a country, that they were non-nationals who would return their palms and turn their spears to the kingdom of Sursis.

The whole people are neglecting each other, not just the upper echelons, as before.... I know. Not everything...! The fact that we still think of each other and that there are people on both sides who are still blocked by the walls of the country and who only wish each other well...

"Eh... I, uh..."

Eat and bind your teeth, and enjoy.

He gripped his fist on his knee and leaned down to stare. My brother won't answer if I call him. I breathe in thirsty throats and all I can do is groan to my current brother. I don't even have to ask. It's all my fault, because of my stupidity...

"Abomination."

"Huh... Huh?"

Brother's,... those words and faces come up suddenly and clearly. That just makes my whole body tremble,... tears, overflowing.

I wipe with my hands, desperately switching to other thoughts, but the emotions that I stuck in stuck to the back of my throat, and as soon as I realized it, I couldn't help scratching my throat .

Even your brother hated me.

Then the people who were attracted only to my appearance will resent me one day too. No, rather, it may already be resented at the bottom of my heart................... but still.

"... brother, I'll vacate the castle again for a while. I'm engaged to the princess of a great country. It's bad to get ahead of your brother, but, well, I don't care. Interpretation is - …, ….

I tried to brighten my voice so I could get my mind back on it, but it jammed along the way and didn't go on.

I tried to make a grin and it hardened immediately and my lifted mouth cramped and I developed pain.

"Interpretation is... I found the word to be terribly cruel and disgusting as a royalty but as a person, even a fool a year ago.

Knowledge of books from all over the country that my brother has been absorbing since he lay low. The more I know, the more I know about my stupidity and ignorance, and the more I'm about to be crushed by self-loathing.

Bite your lips and lean down to the weight of your head.

I wiped my wet face with my palm and glanced at my tingling throat. Drop your damp hands on your heavy knees as you sit down and hold your fists. Ringing his throat and shaking one of his necks hard.

... What more do you need to hesitate about now?

My hands are already bloodstained. Sursis, immersed in the blood of the innocent people of Chinensis.

Only one person adds to that. That will save many people.

"Joyful brother.... and a few more.

I had a surprisingly thin voice myself.

I give up on stopping tears overflowing on my own and raise my face to my brother.... it's already finished with just bones and skins, to my brother.

"I won't be seeing you again for a while... but please, stay safe.

I don't know who will be after my brother's life.

I don't know who will dispute our royal government. I do not know when the people of the old Chinensis will invade our country. Nobody can trust him. That's why.

"Once, I'll be home within a month. I'll be out again after that, but... I'll do it as soon as I can.

Hold that lean, thin hand so that we can exchange promises.

Gallic hands, like dead branches, have no remnants of the strength that controlled me before. Without force, I can hold my brother's hand with both hands, just to drool, and put my strength into it.

And in that hand that will never be shaken back... pray, I can put it in.

"So hurry up... eh.... wake me up...

Put that hand you held with both hands on your forehead. On its hands, which, on the contrary, faded to the point where the blood colour also looked bad and separate.

My brother hasn't responded. The groans are shallow, and I know they haven't reached my word or anything. Still.

There's nothing I can do about it, and I'm stunned.

"If the kingdom of Chinensis is liberated... your brother might come to see your brother...? Then... do you show that to him?"

I don't mind being hated. Because I made so many mistakes. Because of my stupidity, I took everything that mattered to my brother.

But I don't want him to look like this. I don't want to hurt you any more.

"Brother, my hand... it's already bloody... I don't deserve a king's throne or anything like that! Brother, this country needs King Lance..."

If I put any more force into it, it would break my brother's arm.

Lie down, exhale, … and still the muddy water in your chest will not heal. I keep getting cloudy when I wrap it around it, … it's going to work out.

"Make sure I... get Chinensis back to Hanazoo... so you don't need me!" The people rejoice and connect... eh.

Close your eyes and I'll remember those days when it was full.

The people laughed, and there was a brother and a brother.... I broke it all.

"Brother... I will... sin again...! So... wake up quickly, sit on that throne, meet your brother,... uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... punish me..."

I can't be your brother anymore.

Please bury me as an abomination to be erased from history.

As righteous king, judge me before the people of Hanazoo.

"Ugh... I can't believe it... and your brother! And the people! Dario and Fergus can't trust everything in the world except Brother... Everyone betrays...!" Everybody hates me... "

... Nobody, I don't believe it.

At the bottom of my belly, I just think you hate and resent me.

I can't help but look like all humans are plotting to pry into my gaps, trick me, and take something important away from me again. I can't believe everything about it, except my brother.

......... Still, I want to protect it.

My brother wants to protect the people and country that he loved.... and I want to save you.

I know. It's my contradictory ego. It's nothing but pride that people like me want to support their people.

Dropping the Second Princess in love, and killing her with my hands.

That's what the Queen offered me. That way, if we do not make the Kingdom of Sursis a dependent state of Freesia, and free the Kingdom of China from the hands of Radiya.... I also think it's another trap. But still, now I have no choice but to admire it. Because there is no way that our country would be hostile to such a monstrous country.

For that...

"If I... do it well...

He stares at his fist and grips it back. The embedded ring eats hard into his fingers and trembles violently.

If you ignore this hand, you will return what is important to you and your brother.

... simple, simple story.

The Second Princess of the Great Power.... Princess, who is also the sister who separated the blood from that queen.

Tiara Royal Ivy.

I've never even met her, the woman who only knows her name... must be powerless. Celebrate sixteen birthdays without knowing anything, meet me as your fiancée,... and get killed.

Thinking of that queen's sister, I thought a little hesitation would fade... but again, no.

No matter how many demons a sister may be, not even that sister. Just like a human brother like me was my brother.

"... Bye, brother.... I'm coming.

Loosen the force from the arm of the dead tree.

Gently let go of his face and put him back in bed so he wouldn't get cold. Stand up from the chair beside you and put your hands on that head instead of greeting you. Only the golden hair looked terrible on the dimmed complexion. The hair that was flushing behind my back is now just dripping to the left and right. To my brother, who used to put his hand on my head, it would be ridiculous to see me laying my hand like this now.

My brother, who keeps sleeping powerless, told me that it might be time for him to limit himself. When I get back, I don't even know if I'm alive. Even if you don't get betrayed, your brother's lifeline itself could be interrupted. If I were you, I wouldn't want to leave for a moment.... but.

"... because this is the only way to protect my brother's beloved country.

If I mocked myself and squealed like that, the grin I couldn't help but make distorted.

Leave the words squeaking like solitaires, hands off my brother's head. Step back, staring at your brother's face, then turn your back.

Head to the door and take it step by step. The carriage is already keeping me waiting. Princess Tiara's Birthday Festival in eleven days, you can't be late in case. We have to hurry up and see the queen.

"............ SE...... RI... eh.



I heard voices... I felt them.

It sounded like my brother's voice, but even when I stopped and looked back, the brother in the bed kept his eyelids closed heavily and only a dead groan remained unchanged from his mouth.... it's my fault.

My brother says he can't speak anymore. Now there's no way you can call me by my name.

... Pull back, did you want it?

This is me, to my brother.

Don't do anything stupid, that the royal family will take the life of the innocent, and so on, that there will be other ways to be fooled again.

"Not yet,... I'm as stupid as ever.

There's only one way, for example.

I thought so, and now it's time for me to leave the room without looking back. I leave the ladies waiting in front of the room behind me and head to the carriage.

Pathan. And, with this ear, make sure the door to my brother's room is closed.

……

"Brother! Let's go in."

Let the guards open the door, and I'll step into my brother's room.

The room, where the curtains are still due, is slightly dim. Say no to the samurai, and I'll take you straight to your brother's bed.

My brother, who buries himself in bed, was still asleep. Once you go to sleep, your brother, who is deep asleep, has no sign of waking up at all because he is also used to my voice. He is lying on his back and asleep without a single movement. I don't know if he's alive or dead. I put my sleeping brother down and I opened the curtain with momentum.

The sun hasn't risen much yet, but my brother, who still bathed in the morning sun, said, "Guh...! ♪ And groaned so that I could burn ♪ He covers his eyes from his forehead with a thick arm like an algae scratch, preventing the sun from shining.

"I told you I'd clean up my job before heading to the Kingdom of Friesia today." If we don't do it now, we won't make it to Anemone's ship!

I'll help you, too! And with a voice, my brother groaned and groaned, "You were..." From the arm. Now hold your eyes with your fingertips and exhale loudly to sigh.

"Cedric... have you finished your posture yet... What the hell time did you wake up...?

Answering my groaning and inquiring brother, he gave me a short return and got up.

Get yourself out of bed and make a big stretch on the spot. I entrust my brothers to the maids and sit in front of my brother's desk. I grabbed the working papers I had already loaded and continued to my brother with a view.

"I woke up weird this morning. I woke up at the corner.

Were you bad in your dreams, or strangely, you didn't wake up well.

Anyway, I was in a hurry about today, and I guess I slept shallow. The yang hadn't risen either, but it was also a good time within doing it alone.

My brother asks me, "I'm not sure I was stuck at my desk again," but I deny it. There's no reason to imitate sleeping on such an important day.

I look through another sheet, one and the paperwork as I roll through it. Export restrictions on gold production. After all, it seems that both gold and gemstones in our country will go in the direction of reducing exports and increasing value. That's good. Even though it's because of excess, if you sprinkle it out, you can see your feet right away. It makes no sense to export any more to other countries, even though they only provide very small quantities to the Kingdom of Friesia.

"... brother! The only material you need to clean this up is what's in here?

When I pointed my eye at the book and paperwork placed next to my brother's desk and asked him, he said, "Yes for today."

This is the information and terms of trade for each trading country Regent Fergus has compiled. Only about a hundred copies of the material, including some countries that had already started trading ahead of time, but all of the books were quite thick. Quickly put the paperwork on your desk and take it first from a book that might take a while to read.... but.

……

From the first page onwards, I scroll apart appropriately, check some other pages, and then look at the cover.... Again.

The other books looked at the cover first, and it was all familiar. I had a little fed up memory, but gave up and now I glance at the paperwork.

"... brother. I've read everything in the book. Ask me if you need to know.

I elbowed to my desk and said with my hands on my head, I got a slightly lower voice.

My brother noticed, too, and he throws me, "What's wrong?" Looking at the material with my eyes, I return the words.

"I read about fourteen years ago.... I'm glad it helps, but I'm really angry.

I don't thank them for making mistakes, but some of me were relieved that it wasn't all wasted knowledge.

It's about Bertrand anyway, you simply wanted me to memorize all the thick books.

"It's just growth now that I can say so," my brother, who seems to have guessed, returned laughingly.... Although I would have stunned my mouth just because I was bitter before.

Now it's time for me to scroll again, loading the material. This seems to be a relatively new piece of information from different countries. Along the way, the name of the kingdom of Anemone was also given, but the possible imports were dreadfully unplugged. The list alone extends to two pieces.

"The kingdom of Anemone is truly wonderful. During the last two years or so, both exports and imports have raised tradable volumes. From now on, we'll be exporting gold and jewellery not only to imports, but also to anemones?

"Oh. The gems are still under Chinensis circumstances. It is difficult to do so directly, but I also obtained permission from Yoan that I could export them to Anemone for my passage through Circus.

In Chinensis, where slavery is not even religiously good, we cannot yet make a direct deal with Anemone.

But the kingdom of Anemone also has its gratitude in defense. For this reason, my brother figured out how to sell the jewelry that my Circus bought from China Sys if it was not a problem.

My brother went on to say, "If it's too late, the kingdom of Anemone will be completely abolished," and I returned it to him, too. That would surely allow both Chinesis and Anemone to trade in each other's better interests.

"Neither the people of Chinensis nor Joan himself think badly of Prince Leon. It would also be proof that you decided to ride with us on today's Anemone flight.

When I said that, my brother closed his eyes and laughed to relieve him a little.

A trade ship is just coming from the kingdom of Anemone today. After finishing the deal with us, Prince Leon himself suggested we board the ship, which he plans to return to the kingdom of Anemone.

Even a royal carriage from the United Kingdom of Hanazoo to the Kingdom of Friesia is ten days. But a ship will take you as little as five days to reach the kingdom of Anemone, the neighbour of the kingdom of Friesia! There is no more thankful story. And most importantly,

"Then you're looking forward to your sailing trip with Prince Leon. This is my first experience aboard a ship.

In my country, which has been a closed country until now, it was not anything other than fishing, even if there were ports, to sail themselves out. Neither I, nor my brother, have ever traveled by boat.

To my rising words, my brother also replied, "Right," with an uncanny voice.

My brother also used to tell me that he had a longing for sailing with books he used to read. That makes me feel extra jumpy.

"I heard Prince Leon takes the helm himself, but I definitely want to get a hand job too.

"Wish it out of you. Never be disrespectful.

No matter, I'll roll up more paperwork while I return it.

Sailing… some of the literature I've read in the past was sometimes depicted and described, but all in the letters of the past. After all, there is nothing better than a real experience. Sure, there was something called "seasickness," but would my brother and I be okay?... Well, no problem considering it's something similar to a carriage anyway.

"If you wear it in the shortest possible time, you might be able to wear it to the Kingdom of Friesia six days before Tiara's birthday? Then I can talk to the prides carefully.

Prince Leon also allowed me to dock in the kingdom of Anemone, but I apologize for the manner of my brother, but politely refused.

He also obtained permission from the Kingdom of Friesia to moor in the King's residence for six days from the fifth day following his arrival. Sometimes far away, but at the same time, they have meetings regarding the establishment of an international postal service.

"I'll tell you what, even if it's a maximum of six days, you can't always talk to Princess Tiara.

I look up unexpectedly to my brother's words.

You see, he was turning a slightly mean grin on me. I swelled my nostrils and I said, "I know!," he said, returning a hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

At the time of my last visit, I was able to get Tiara recognition as a fiancée candidate this time.... although my engagement to me hated me enough to cry.

But now she can stay in the kingdom of Friesia. That would be good if I cleared one of her worrying scales at all. The only thing left is who she really loves, and is there anyone else in favor of Prince Stayle or Prince Leon? Or someone you like from the start, etc.

"Princess Tiara is also busy with all sorts of things at her birthday and I'm sure she won't settle down. Don't be too persistent. Princess Pride, plus there would have been one in the letter that I look forward to seeing from Prince Stayle as well.

... Pride. I breathe in that name without thinking.

I told her that she was a god to me, and that if she was in the kingdom of Friesia, she would see me again. That makes me nervous now, but I'm happier than that. She was always taken care of after the defense war.... really, such a huge favor that you can't give it back even if you spend the rest of your life.

It was just me with her grace and mercy, but I also wonder if I could finally contribute a little bit to her and repay her.

Without her, I wouldn't even have had a piece of this happiness right now. If…… it is horrible to think that she had abandoned me for my stupidity and stupidity at the time.

If you think that far, the foolishness of the time will come back to your head again clearly and your face will be hot. Pulling his chest, he breathes deeply as he exhales heat, but his folly to pride passes his head one after another so that he is drawn, and he is about to die again. I couldn't stand it. Once I took my eyes off the paperwork and held my head, my brother threw a word at me like "again".

"Excuse me. I had such beautiful hair that the last three days are going to be very good." "I hate you so much." "I don't know what you..."

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...

I've been able to stay calm lately, even in front of the princes of Pride and Style, but still want to punch my forehead if I recall. As the hot air was coming out of my face and I was stuffy, my brother, who had finished dressing, approached me and slapped me gently on the head, leaning and roaring.

"Easy, Cedric. If you become a postmaster, be very careful with that habit.

"Oh,... I know.

It can be suppressed except in front of my brothers and sisters.... I can't help but lighten up my face. For me, torture is so much better that I can show off my past stupidity along with my diary to that picture.

My brother slapped me on the head. I held my words back, and now they put their hands on my head so I could overlap them.

"Come on, it's work. Don't hesitate to help us with our work until we move to the kingdom of Friesia, Cedric.

He had a dazzling strong grin on his face if he raised his face to the pleasant voice of a distracting brother. "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Give up your seat to your brother and sit back on the couch with the materials in your hand. Answering a question about another country from my brother-in-law who stared at the documents, I went on to read the material further.

Tiara's Birthday Festival in eleven days.

I can't help but look forward to it now. It's a day when a loved one is recognized as a woman, and there's no reason why she shouldn't be. Furthermore, Queen Rosa officially announces the international postal service jointly with the United Kingdom of Hanazu.

Now I can stand next to my brothers and sisters with my chest up.
