Herscherik

After Hershelik leaves the room, Solje, king of the Kingdom of Gracis, takes a deep sigh and sits on the couch and sinks deeply into his back.

I wish I had been released from the tension that had been going on since yesterday, but now another problem surfaced and I was struck by fatigue.

"That kid looks so much like her......"

The butler, who was also a childhood tamer who had refrained from taking sides, flaunts his shoulders to the king who spills his stupidity by accident. He was completely in agreement with me on that.

"No, are you saying they're similar or intact, or that you've put more wheels on them?

She was a more masculine pet princess than a man, not decorated at all by the two memories. Of course, masculinity is its character and its appearance is a poor woman. The masculine words and audacious remarks of a man losing his face that just popped out of that poor appearance kept the two of them thinking and stopping.

"Hershey is exactly her son.

Soldier grins bitterly with his hands on his forehead.

Hershelik had a stubborn personality that didn't look exactly like her.

I will never bend what I have decided, I will not overturn what I have decided. The centered temperament will be my mother's concession.

"Regardless of Hershey's future... Luke, you're off guard this time. If it weren't for you, I would have made you regret being alive fast.

Luke felt the temperature in the room drop several times. Soldier's voice was so cold.

Luke knows. His childhood tame and king, Soluyeh, is equal in sword to the Kingsguard knight, and magic is equal in strength to the superior magician.

I just don't exaggerate or claim power out of that personality.

"I'm sorry. I wasn't alarmed, but I never thought that Meliá would do such a great thing.

"…… Indeed. I did something bad to Melia.

Soldier thinks he was at fault for the start of this kidnapping of the seventh prince.

From Meliá, her homeland was tormented by her lords, so she pleaded. But Soldier could not fulfill her wishes. There is because there was not a single conclusive proof of her words alone. Though Soldier himself was thinking of hitting his hands with nothing, he didn't have enough time.

And Merliah's behavior, which I came up with, developed into this case.

I sympathize, but that's not why it should be allowed. If we take such action before kidnapping the royal family, we will create a track record of the country moving and shake the very foundation of the country's existence. So punishment becomes heavier than necessary.

(Even though what I did with that guy is no different...)

The man is only of a different size... and what Merliah did in the past is not the same as what the minister, the culprit who took his family and daughter, did. Merriam would be more emotionally forgiving if it was just for a reason.

(Something, if only I could grasp the evidence, I wouldn't have had to do this...!

At that time and this time, things could have been avoided if only I had been firmer. Soldier's anger at himself arouses with the helplessness that strikes him again and again, eating his teeth off.

(This time, thanks to Hershey, I didn't have to punish Melia. He was the only survivor.

Hershelik, the biggest victim of the incident, did not break a single mouth on the matter, so the killer was not found and the scene ended.

If anything happened, I listened persistently because the blame extends to Hershelik, the prince, but he never changed his mind.

"…… Soluyeh, to be honest. Prince Hershelik is not an ordinary child.

Turning his wrath to himself and shutting up. To the Lord, Luke opened his mouth.

That was the result of Luke's observation while working in the shadows of Hershelik's escort for about two years.

The first thing I noticed was right after the feast to celebrate my third birthday.

Because Hershelik offered to study, Luke arranged a teacher at Soldier's behest.

He said that language and arithmetic were excellent, but no magic, no motor sense. But six months later, even adults grew up until they could read elusive specialties.

Hershelik had read books all day long if he had time. It's unthinkable in a normal three-year-old. He looked different to Luke when he sat on the sofa by the window and read during a book stuck like a mountain.

Next, he disappeared in the middle of the night.

To Meliá, who appeared with half a cry, Luke searched the entire rear palace without a neighborhood as soon as he reported to Soluyeh. But he couldn't find it and gave it to me, and Hershelik was back in bed with no food on his face.

And the other day, when Luke snuck up on his tail, he was heading to Royal Castle and diving into various departments to read and fish the material. After he left, when Luke looked at the material he was most interested in, it was an unnatural bill of payment.

Then he went to various departments, read a wide variety of materials, thought about it, and went back to his room to sleep. I lived like that.

Reporting to Soldier, he said he could do whatever he wanted after a few thoughts. But Hershelik asked me to escort him so he wouldn't find him.

Luke's coolest liver was when the intruder showed up. I didn't know the purpose of the intruder, but I made contact with the prince.

Just as Luke tried to come in to help, the prince avoided the danger without difficulty and became friends with the intruder on top of it.

Luke's investigation then found that the intruder was the famous' Shadow Fang 'in the back guild, and it was just about time he instilled it in Soldier to stop the prince, but his Lord did not wipe his neck vertically.

The moon passed, Luke worked as a side of the king during the day, and at night, when he was used to wearing it as a double life watching over him as a prince's escort, what a rollout the prince made to the castle town.

(I think it's time for me to die of overwork...)

No one would blame Luke for thinking so.

The prince, who rolled out to the town, also drove well there, and the fruit shoppers liked him and became obsessed with him every now and then.

It's not just a couple of fruit shops.

As the months passed, he blended into the castle town, and the inhabitants accepted him.

But the prince isn't just playing. Even the castle was moving around as if to confirm that it had been checked at the castle.

And this time, after he returned to Castle Town, while Luke was reporting to Soldier, there was a kidnapping by Meliá.

It was behind my back that I trusted Merriam completely.

"Yeah, I know.

Soldier smiled and replied to Luke's words.

"Hershey is not normal. But it's me and her kid. I'm also allergic to myself, but it can't be normal.

"No, I agree with you, but that's not what I meant..."

Luke who unexpectedly agrees.

I also knew Soldier. That's not what he's trying to say.

No magic, no athletic sense, a cute youngest son to Soldier, but a less ornate appearance than the other princes.

But those same emerald-like eyes seemed to foresee everything, and there was such a bottomless thing that I didn't know how far I was looking or trying to foresee.

"… I told Hershey I could be free.

The day Hershelik said he wanted to study, he seemed free to choose something.

As a result, he is moving with purpose. Soluyeh, my father, had an idea that it must be Tsu's way. If it was meant to be, I wanted to stop it, and I should have. The path he chose is most likely to shorten his own life span. But I couldn't stop it.

I knew that her child would not overturn what he had decided. I was still worried, so I put Luke on escort.

(But that could be the end of it.

Hershelik walked out on his own.

I also feel it's too soon, but I'm already trying to get out of my reach. He made his choice freely, as his father said.

"But what about the lead butler?

Soldier frowned between his brows.

There is nothing noble about it. The trusted ones have almost left the royal castle. No, the truth is that the minister made me leave. Bringing them in may call for unawares of danger.

"You have a good one, close.

Luke laughs.

"There's a pathetic black dog who's smart, highly combative, and can't easily be behind it because he knows without extra adoration of the nobles, and has completely fallen into Prince Hershelik's charm.

"Don't call a man's son like a bad girl.

"No, in fact, princes are worse in nature than bad girls.

Bad girls are calculations, but princes do it with vegetables.

"The Shadow Fang, which seems more twisted than me or you, fell quickly. Terrible."

I am aware that such Luke was also at risk.

He stood still because he was Soldier's lead butler, but when he heard he had been kidnapped, he was so depressed that he had the illusion that his vision had dimmed for a moment.

The royal family has an excellent appearance headed by Soluyeh. Everyone is so distressed by what leading artists express. Its appearance alone would suffice to attract people.

But Hershelik is not just about appearance. There is something about charisma or Hershelik attracting people. Besides, he is unconscious and leaks a lot.

"In the meantime, if you have a black dog, you'll be fine. I'll make it work. I'll take care of it later.

"Okay.

Luke turns to the door to leave the room when he gives his thanks. But I look back at Soldier once before I leave.

"Are you all right?

"…… oh.

It was a weak reply, but Luke heard the answer and left the room behind.
