Adelia wasn't the only one worried these days.

Recently, His Royal Highness's behavior was strange.

If I stay still, the prince, who was not resting and moving as though he was sick of death, stops all the work he was doing one day as a starting point and is stuck in a place.

I didn't meet anyone, I didn't talk to anyone.

I just hung up on meditation with my eyes closed all day.

I picked up some of the prince's favorite foods because I was afraid of getting hurt, but I didn't even touch him.

It's been four days.

In the meantime, many have come to visit the First Prince's womb.

Everyone was worried about the prince's sudden chipper.

But the prince remained immersed in meditation without even knowing their visit.

It's been another four days.

Adelia, who finds the prince's bed in time for dawn, opens her eyes.

The prince, who had closed his eyes and was not fluttering for almost ten days, stood up.

“Your Majesty!"

She spills her words after running to the prince with her eyes closed.

In the meantime, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to eat and sit in the room.

The prince smiled quietly at the words.

His face was somewhat defensive, but his eyes were clear before.

Her relieved tears were fluttering, and the prince asked me to help her.

I helped clean up and heard the prince dressed up.

And when they were all dressed up, the prince demanded that they colonize the armor this time.

She clenches her head and helps the prince wear the armor he usually enjoys.

It was basically made of leather and was an armor of active northern knights.

The prince, who checked the armor strap more thoroughly than usual, smiled with satisfaction and praised him for his hard work.

She looks down with a small head and looks back at the prince.

The prince's head grew a lot while wandering the empire.

After searching the drawer in the chimney and pulling out the comb and strap, she cleaned the head of the prince who had grown hot with a skilful move.

The prince once again praised me for being better.

After repeated compliments, she smiled and smiled at a bird I didn't even know.

It felt like the frown in my heart had faded for almost ten days.

The prince, armed with an ambush, stood before the two swords that were carried on the table. And I pondered for a moment, and I picked up one of them.

The royal sword was in the prince's hands, not his usual favorite.

After seeing that, Adelia's heart snapped and fell.

It's time to get out of the territory of the bloody empire.

This is the most heavily guarded royal palace in the peaceful province.

The prince seemed to be on the battlefield alone.

She grabbed the prince's sleeve without my knowledge.

The prince, who would have laughed foolishly if it were usual, just stroked his head today without saying a word.

That's my anxiety. She gave me strength in the hand that held my sleeve.

Zec.

The prince gently releases her hand.

And he said, "If you don't come back until the sun goes down, give it to Marquis."

While she was silent, the prince opened the door and stepped out.

Later he regained consciousness and followed the prince, but he was already disappearing somewhere.

I asked the knights who were guarding the palace where the prince was.

The knights replied without hesitation that the prince would take a short walk, so no one should follow him.

Adelia grabs hold of the letter in my hand.

I wanted to break the seal right away and confirm the contents, but the prince's orders were absolute.

She presses the anxiety, waiting for the prince to return.

But the prince did not return until that day.

Kars Ulrich knocks on the door of the chimney.

Knock, knock.

“Your Majesty, that knife. ”

Several times, the answer was not heard.

“I'm going in.”

Carls opens the door carefully.

There was no trace of anyone lying on a clean bed.

“Just in case. ”

The prince who had been out on a walk the other day unhooked the chipper didn't come back all night.

So the possibility is unlikely, but I checked to see if the court knights didn't come back to the bedside without knowing.

But neither did the prince.

The chimney was empty.

"Hmm?"

He frowns as he looks around the chimney.

On the bright side of the chimney, there was a curled shadow in the most cornered position.

A woman who dug her head while holding her knee with her two hands.

“Lord Adelia? ”

She was the prince's most recent wife, Adelia Bavaria.

He sat there all night waiting for the prince to come back, and Carls lowered his tongue.

Then she quietly approached and asked, thinking she might know about the prince's whereabouts.

“Do you know where he went? ”

Still buried between her knees, she shakes her head.

“Huh. Did you go running even if you had a sudden headache? ”

Concerns about the prince were not great.

He was a prince, and he thought that being a Swordmaster was no big deal in his own territory.

I've been chipping for almost ten days, so I must have gone to get some air. Wait and I'll be right back. I thought so.

But the sun went down that day, and the moon began to worry when the prince did not come back to Heaven again.

“How far did you go for a walk? ”

Until then, the Swordsmen will be with us too, so I thought it would be okay.

“Mmm.”

The prince's sleeper, found again at sunset, was still invisible to the prince.

There was only Adelia Bavaria, who was crouching and sitting in the same position as the previous day.

He sighs and tries to settle down, and a whole bunch of locked voices grasp him.

“Thy Majesty, ”

It was Adelia Bayern.

A woman turned around and looked at him, striking her head that was buried between her knees.

Bumped with tears and nostrils, with a pathetic face.

“Don't worry, if you don't come back in two days, give this letter to Marquis Villefeld. ”

As she stood up sniffing, she pulled one of the envelopes out of her arms and let it go.

Kars stiffens and stops.

“What's that supposed to mean? ”

When he asked the frowning impression, the woman cried and said,

“You seemed to be going to fight someone. ”

Carls yelled at me without even knowing.

“Why now! ”

He looked at the woman's face and shut his mouth.

I didn't think it was going to be by tapping on her who seemed extremely unstable.

“All right, get up. I will go to His Majesty the King immediately. ”

She woke up in her place twisting. Be sure to hold the letter from the prince.

* *

“I wonder if you left for Dothrin without saying anything. ”

It was left behind without following the knights who ran day and night. Only today, Siorin Kirgayen, who arrived in the royal palace, made more speculation about the prince's whereabouts.

“I've already allowed the prince's Dothrin line. I have no reason to leave without saying so. ”

King denies Siorin's words.

“Perhaps you are spending time in the amusement of the royal family. He hasn't seen that lately, but he used to. ”

Maximilian shakes his head in the words of Siorin.

“I've already sent people to check out all the entertainers of the royal family. But no one saw you. ”

“Huh. Then where the hell did you go...”

I saw one side of the Feud, as if people had made promises.

Adelia Bavaria was there.

When people's gaze was drawn to her at a moment, she retreated behind the dance. Squeeze your hands together in front of your chest and hold one envelope firmly.

“I have an answer, and I can't see it, and it's frustrating. ”

The King sighed.

I've already looked at it a few times, and I've seen it myself. However, the knowledgeable woman did not even accept the royal command that the prince should tell the old man.

I ordered the knights to take it by force, but I decided to wait for Marquis Villefeld to solve it anyway.

However, Marquis's palace is late today, so I kept getting nervous.

I press and hold the restlessness, and I hear the court knight's voice outside the door.

“Marquis Villefeld was right. ”

Those who were now waiting for Marquis or Marquis to come saw the door of the Great War.

When I heard the news, I ran in a hurry, and the old man, who was somewhat blurred as usual, stooped down before the king.

“I came running straight after being commanded, but my feet were too late, and I was too late. I'm sorry, Your Majesty. ”

“Now that you're ready, start with the letter. ”

Once again, the old man bowed his head to Adelai Bavaria in the words of the King, who hurried without a word.

“Give it to me.”

Only after she looked at the marquis's face did she give him the letter.

Marquis immediately tore the seal of the letter.

Then I began to read the contents of the letter aloud.

“I leave a letter just in case, but I hope Marquis never reads it...”

Marquis' recitation was stopped even before the rush was over.

His face was hardened like a stone.

Marquis's eyes swiftly moved through the letter. And finally, after reading the letter to the end, he gave it to Carls. And again, while Carls was delivering the letter to the king on the stage, the marquis asked Adelia.

“How did you feel when you handed this letter to me? ”

“His complexion was calm, but he seemed to have had a big fight before his eyes. ”

The marquis closed his eyes.

In the meantime, the king read the letter and handed it to Maximilian. The king's face was not so different from that of the Marquis.

Maximilian read the letter with a stiffened expression.

I leave a letter just in case, but I don't want Marquis to read it as soon as possible. But there's still one in the bay.

Severe...

I have the answer in my own way, and I believe it will work out somehow.

But, you know. It doesn't always work the way you want it to.

Severe...

If I used to, I would only care about one thing, but lately I feel responsible in my own way. I've got a lot to do. So I'm going to ask Marquis to do something while I'm gone.

The fact that my brother, who was always confident, wrote this letter with failure in mind made Maximilian anxious.

But he struggled to suppress the anxiety and even read the letter.

The main content of the letter was about where he left off. And there was a letter written about the proper use of the inscription.

Then Maximilian knew why the face of the Emperor and Marquis was so firm.

It was like a long history.

But it wasn't a real will.

I'll be back as soon as I can. No matter how late, I'll be back until things start in earnest.

It said at the end of the letter that he was promised to come back.

Maximilian believed it.

Your brother will surely come back. Leading the Northern reinforcements and showing up on the defensive ship, we will keep our promise again.

Kars Ulrich, who later confirmed the contents of the letter, also believed.

But the atmosphere was still bad.

“Your Majesty!”

It was then that an urgent voice was heard outside the Great War.

“Some of the knights who were ordered to search have returned! ”

“Stop! ”

The knights who opened the gates of the Feud fell on their knees in front of the statue.

“In two hours on horseback in the royal palace, there was a sign of a great struggle! ”

At the end of the article, the King sat down on the throne.

“All over the place, full of scratches, I swear to God, I've never seen anything like it."

“What the hell was that? ”

Siorin Kirgayen asked on behalf of the King and Marquis Villefeld, who seemed to be out of his mind.

“That's something huge. ”

The article replied in a trembling voice.

“It was as if a dragon had passed by. ”
