Chapter 27: I’m not lying

Infirmary located in the Royal Palace.

—As it turned out, the third prince, Oz, was there.

“Ah, Europa-sama. Long time… no see… “

(He’s dying in plain sight!)

Europa gasped in front of the figure.

Oz was put on a respirator and was lying on the bed, hissing and leaking breath.

He had always been a skinny prince with a babyface, but now he was even more morbidly thin than before.

His face was ashen, and he even had large dark circles under his eyes.

Oz chuckled weakly, probably because Europa looked so surprised.

Beside him, a stern-looking doctor attended to him.

“He said it’s a stomach ulcer caused by stress… Haha, it’s not a big deal.”

“Tonight is the night.”

“…Haha, it’s not really a big deal …”

“It’s a pass”

(It’s a pass……!)

Europa had originally come to the palace in order to find out what was going on and to inform Evelyn.

But it was indeed unexpected that Oz was dying.

She had always known he was a hard worker, but she hadn’t realized how far he’d been pushed.

“And why is Europa-sama so muddy……?”

“This mud is sacred mud. It smells great and is very comfortable to wear.”

“Is that so…… My brother is covered in blood because, well, he’s with Lord Europa……

”That’s how it works. All my blood is flowing for Europa.”

Europa asked cautiously after Oz had dismissed him.

“By the way, Your Highness Oz. How did His Highness get a stomach ulcer…..?”

“……Excessive stress can make your stomach feel like it’s on fire……”

Oz replies languidly.

“Well, almost all of my problems would have been solved if only Evelyn-sama were here.”

Europa blinked quietly. Oz let out a huff of laughter.

“Igna-niisan is crazy about Europa-sama, so I’m sure he’s already told you everything.”

“……Y-Yeah, that’s right.”

Europa dares to affirm it because she can’t bear to be made an outsider after coming this far.

Then, with narrowed eyes, Oz looked over at Igna, who stood next to Europa.

“So, Igna-niisan. Did you find…… Evelyn-sama in the town of Shem?”

“!”

Europa swallowed her spit with a gulp.

Although Igna had said it like that, Oz and the others were still searching for Evelyn with all their might.

No wonder. After all, Evelyn is a great, noble, lovely, beautiful, beautiful, lovely, respectable saint.

All sane royals understand that the Holy Kingdom of Snazil is only functioning because of Evelyn’s presence.

(Your Highness Igna, how are you going to dodge this pursuit…..! ?)

All eyes were on him.

Igna said plainly.

“No. None at all.”

“……! ?”

(He lied with his bare face, this guy!)

The expressions on the faces of Europa and Igna’s royal knights were suddenly tinged with astonishment.

The fact that he could lie in front of his brother in such a state with impunity…… surprised Europa, and for the first time, she felt good about Igna.

(His Highness Igna…… is thinking of you, Evelyn-sama, and keeping quiet about it.

—I thought he was a perverted nosebleed-spewing machine, but I was impressed to see that he had some semblance of decency.)

But Oz must be trapped, too. He continued to ask questions to Igna.

“I-If so, did you find any clues in Shem town?”

“No, nothing in particular.”

“Niisan, I don’t care how small it is……!”

“There was nothing. There was no trace of Evelyn.”

“……I see……”

Europa was gradually beginning to feel pity for Oz.

She asked Igna in a quiet whisper, trying not to let Oz hear her.

“…Your Highness. You are surprisingly good at lying, aren’t you?”

“? I’m not lying… I’ve never met Evelyn.”

(What’s he saying…)

Igna wonders at a stunned Europa.

“I think about Europa all the time, you know. As I walked through the forest, I thought I heard a woman crying.”

“……”

She realized that he really meant it—

Europa’s eyes fluttered.

“I-I can’t believe it!”

“W-What’s wrong, Europa?”

“Even seeing Evelyn-sama’s adorable figure and hearing her cry, purer than a baby’s, is a supreme experience that cannot be remembered! ? Now I’m going to gouge out your useless eyeballs and ears, pull them out and preach to you! !”

“Guh…! By all means!

Igna falls to his knees. As she looked, the beautiful floor of the royal palace was stained with bright red blood.

“Your Highness!” The knights rushed towards him, but Europa moved away from them in disbelief.

(You really are a crazy man! I’ve never even heard Evelyn cry before!)

I clench my fists tightly in anger. Should I get rid of this prince before the first prince, after all?

Because of that – for a while, Europa hadn’t noticed.

“Um … Europa-sama”

I turned around to see Oz looking dumbfounded.

“What is it, Your Highness, Oz?”

“Well…… if I’m not mistaken, I thought I heard Evelyn-sama’s name just now.”

(Oh no!)

When she gets excited, she can’t see what’s going on around her. Europa was impatient with the blunder, but she wasn’t stupid enough to panic over it.

She covered her mouth with the fan she had taken out, as if embarrassed that she had shouted so loudly.

“…I apologize, Your Highness. I was talking to His Highness Igna about Evelyn-sama, whom he met in the town of Shem.”

“Evelyn-sama! ? Could it be that the saint’s—”

“Fufu. There are fifty-six Evelyn’s living in the town of Shem.”

“B-But still, it’s the saint’s—”

“No, white, long hair, fluffy and soft. Evelyn is the cutest Evelyn in the world, with her unique cry.”

Europa, in front of him, did not lie at all, and said so.

Oz thought for a moment, then muttered in a hushed voice.

“……A dog…..”

As Oz’s condition worsened, Igna and Europa were forced to leave the palace early.
