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 20 - Trash Exactly one week had passed since then. We departed from Diestburg and, after three days of travel, we reached the kingdom of water, Rinchelle. Grerial laughed, saying that we arrived much earlier than predicted, then told me that the audience with King Rinchelle was scheduled for three days later, so we could act independently until then. Bringing us to the present. “....was that really alright, Your Highness?” “Don’t call me that here, you’ll make us stand out.” While…

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 8 - A Place to Die The moon was still shining when I woke up in the single room Afillis’ King Leric had assigned to me, and looked out of the window. “I live in a different age, a different space, with a different body, but the sky remains the same.” I had never before awoken during the night, so I found the night sky a novel sight. I laughed wryly at myself: ever since I had come to the Afillis kingdom, I found myself feeling sentimental pretty often. As soon as I returned to the castle…

Chapter 12 - Mentor “Don’t you dare...mess with me..!!” I reached the limits of my rage and shouted. My eyes were wide open. I couldn’t accept reality. An incredible reality that made the veins on my temples bulge. “Why?” It was supposed to be an easy job. I was so confident that my illusions would never lose to anyone. It had always been like that, and it should continue to be. And yet… I controlled not only sight, but even sound, through my illusions. I created a situation in which the…
