I Will Quietly Disappear

It felt like I was in the water.

"Rouche!!

"Luche! You know what I mean?

I hear my father and mother.

I wonder why you're so involved.

- Go home. -

Such a voice turns my head.

Oh, I have to get you home, I have to wake you up.

My consciousness surfaced suddenly.

I opened my eyes.

The light blinds me and narrows my eyes. The sunlight is slipping through the window. I turned away.

"... Huh!

Instead, my father and mother's face was doped up.

Wow, beautiful. Not really.

I'm back... From what I don't know about that.

"Body..."

"Hmm?"

"Body, don't move"

Or heavy. I tried to get up, but my body didn't move. Seeing me like that, my father gave me a relieved look, laughing bitterly.

"... because you've been asleep..."

And I stroked my head.

"Good. You know about us."

My father has a relieved face, and my mother is weeping. Looks like I'm worried sick.

"Father, Mother"

"Good, really good"

My mother is no longer bored.

"Let's get a doctor. And then I'll put out a use for the king."

"Hey, Dad."

I spoke to my father, who walked towards the door.

"Hmm?"

"Is Luca...?

The moment I said that, I didn't miss my father's face being slightly tight.

My mother erupted for some reason.

Oh, there's something wrong.

"Father?

"Hmm? Why Luca?

I'm afraid of my face.

"... I broke my promise..."

"Promise?"

"Back in the palace, you told me to stay here, but I, I went after him. I need to apologize..."

Luca is sweet, so she must be sinking in because she thinks it's her fault.

"Right... Luche wants to see Luca and apologize."

"Yeah. I want to see Luca and apologize"

I stared at my father's face.

I'll stare for a while.

It was your mother who broke the silence in such a way.

"Luca's at Dr. Klaus's right now.... Let's call it back soon, Adolph."

I look at your father with a very smiling face for some reason.

The two sights intersect. Your mother's face looked generous for a moment, but it must be her fault.

"Ha.... ok, so don't look at me like that. After you, Maria."

My father said something, but he seems to have given up.

"Yes."

Your father walked out of the room when he stroked my head.

Mother and I were left in the room.

Is it something I can ask? Mother, of the Empire...

"Rouchet"

"What?"

"I'm sorry I made you feel scared"

Mother grinned sadly.

"Mother, I just broke my promise to Luca."

And I asked what I bumped into.

"Hey, Mother,... she seemed to know about your mother."

How far will you answer me with this?

My mother seemed to think of something.

"... a child of your mother's blood muscles. Relatives of Rouchet"

Oh, that means.

"Is your mother an imperial person?

And I think it's a pretty special blood muscle. I have a really bad feeling about this.

"... yes. I thought since Luche grew up, but it's okay to tell you (...)"

I knew it was Listil. That's what your mother shrugged.

"I told you I met your father on the battlefield before, didn't I? I'm an Imperial soldier and your father is a soldier in this country... We fought in the war 10 years ago."

"Mother..."

"I don't know how my existence is written in genealogy right now, but I was called the First Empress of the Gardia Empire back then."

It was a sooo annoying bloodstream!! and that she is the first princess!!!????????

"Hey, stupid apprentice"

Klaus spoke to his bloody, standing idiot apprentice.

"... Master"

The eyes were dead as if they were when we met. I can't believe the kid's looking for something like this.

"You're so dirty... Is your mind clear?

"It won't clear. When you couldn't protect the Lord, your heart wouldn't be clear about what you did."

That was what Klaus went through as well. When I couldn't protect my predecessors, I realized how helpless I was.

"The lady..."

"He said he woke up. And then the Dukes said it was time to come home."

"... I am disqualified as a squire..."

It was a powerless voice.

"Maybe."

Klaus is also well aware that it will be nothing where I said comfort.

"But the Duke told me to come home. At least you're not the one who decides whether to disqualify your squire and be removed from Master Rouchet."

"I can't go back..."

"Know what? You're not the one who decides that.... I hear you said where you were when Master Rouchet woke up."

Luca looked back at this one. The eyes were slightly back in light.

"You want to be an asshole who won't be called by the Lord to rush? Go back, you idiot apprentice."

At that moment Luca disappeared from Klaus' sight.
