Chapter 21 - The Sea A few minutes later, Feli came out of the restaurant. She did not seem to be in a hurry. She probably realized I needed some time alone; I couldn’t say for sure, but she knew that I was not the kind of person to use restraint with my words. She approached me, coins jangling in her palm — probably change — as she looked at me blankly. “Your Highness, you put down way too much for a meal’s fee.” She then took my hand and put the change in it. Since we were outside the…-

Chapter 15 - “Hero” “Hero, huh...” The missive given to King Leric by the knight who acted as messenger. It was written by Mephia Zwai Afillis, without a doubt. However, it contained only one line. . <<Fay Hanse Diestburg is a “Hero”.>> . It was enough for Leric to understand everything. If he was a hero, a superhuman being, then everything clicked. Only “Heroes” could kill other “Heroes”. “That Fay...aren’t you sly, my boy...” Had Leric suddenly been told that…

Chapter 16 - The Last Night It did not take much time for the war between the Beredhia-led alliance and the kingdom of Afillis to reach its conclusion. To put it simply, it’s because I killed too much. Among the soldiers that perished because of my “Spada”, there were nobles in charge of command and officers deeply involved with the troops’ organization. Moreover, the loss of a large number of troops and the “Hero”, who was the core of their strategy, marked their defeat: the alliance’s army…

Chapter 17 - Reaching for the Ideals “...Your Highness, how long do you plan to sleep… It’s already 4 in the afternoon...” Ratifah, my personal maid and attendant, sighed. About one week had passed since I returned to Diestburg. The letter of gratitude uncle Leric penned to my father the king, while containing no truth at all, mentioned that I apparently accomplished all sorts of exploits, so my slothful life was now father-approved. “Some important guy once said that living your life bound by…

Chapter 18 - That is Despair More than a week had passed after the final turmoil in the Afillis kingdom. My slothful self realized even more how precious peace was. In my usual lifestyle, whenever I slept I had very nostalgic dreams. So nostalgic that I felt a little lonely every time I woke up. I usually woke up in the late afternoon. Soon after I did, Ratifah would come up to tell me that dinner was ready, and I would eat together with my family. My seat was next to my elder brother, Grerial. I wasn’t…

Chapter 19 - The Florist A dozen minutes after the conversation with father and Grerial, I used a secret passage out of the castle into the town. There were no escorts with me of course. I also changed my clothing so I didn’t look like a prince, but a son from a well-to-do family at best. Since I usually stayed holed up inside, only a few people knew my face, so even if I went into town no one would likely recognize me. “Is the florist in?” I arrived at a small, secluded house. The board outside…

Chapter 10 - Battle “What does he plan to do with our meager numbers? Was our prince’s heart moved by princess Mephia or something?” “Who can say. Everyone says trash prince this trash prince that, but I bet that not even His Majesty would have expected him to be this trashy. To face over ten thousand enemies with just a few thousand is something only fools would do. Ms. Feli couldn’t stop him, or maybe she gave up on him...in any case, we better be ready for the worst.” The roughly…

Chapter 6 - Swordsman “Your Highness!! Please, think again!!” I am told that Logsaria Bornest would be properly put to rest, so I entrusted his body and then headed once more towards the castle, when Feli stopped me. “If you speak to King Leric, you won’t be able to go back on your word anymore!! If someone not properly trained as Your Highness stands on the battlefield, it will only mean that there will be another corpse to bury…!!” “....that’s right.” “Then why...” Feli’s…
