Chapter 11 - Misfortune Comes in Droves I left the garden and headed towards my room, but heard a commotion from my supposedly empty room. I could hear three voices. Those familiar voices made it all too clear who awaited inside the room. “...what are they doing here…?” I frowned, wondering what they had in mind. I opened the door, with the fleeting hope that it wasn’t my room after all, but the window was indeed equipped with my special escape device, so that hope was quickly shattered. “Hey…-

Chapter 8 - Priestess We both swung our swords. Slashes, supported by powerful momentum, produce a shower of sparks, spewing them in all directions. The loud sound of clashing metal reverberated throughout the surroundings. ...how many times did we do this already? Our swords clashed dozens of times. Some time had to have passed, but there was no outside interference in the battle. Making all this noise would definitely attract attention though… Just when I was thinking such thoughts, the knight leaped…

Chapter 12 - Shadows Approaching In the room, I saw princess Mephia sitting in an armchair along with three men. Judging by their clothes and equipment, they were probably knights. It was my *first time* seeing them. “It has been a long time, *Prince*.” A sweet scent tickled my nostrils. The room was filled with a faint aroma. I soon felt my head grow heavy, dazed. I couldn’t think clearly. I felt the curious urge to relinquish control of my body to something I couldn’t see… Then I heard the…

Chapter 5 - Dream After being yelled at by my father, I was commanded to stay put in my room. Before I realized it, I was dreaming. It was the beginning of a long, long dream. I dreamed of the time that nurtured the emotions at the core of my being. Distant and beautiful, yet so fierce, sad, cruel dream world. My whole body sank into that enticing lucid dream. ◆◆◆ <<Hey, ***!>> Someone called my name. Every time, some kind of static noise would cover my name, but only my name was…

Chapter 9 - Just an Idiot “ — haah….haah...hah….” The sound of heavy breathing reached my ears. Fresh blood dripped on the floor before me. I saw a silhouette standing tall with a half shattered blade in one hand. The knight armor it was wearing was crushed, cleaved by a diagonal slash, painted in blood. It was a matter of time until he died. The wound indeed seemed to be lethal. “<<One slash, one kill.>>” I spoke. I slowly walked towards the knight, whose eyes still burned with…

Chapter 6 - A Bleak Feeling “...Your Highness, where did you sneak off to again…?” Feli sighed as she addressed me, since I had snuck out of my room during the night. I could feel her gaze accusing me. I was ordered to stay put in my room, after all. “And you even had a sword with you...” Feli looked at the shadowy “Spada” in my left hand, which I made no efforts to hide, then looked at me again with a sharper glare. “...I went for a walk.” “Really. You’re a very early riser…

Chapter 10 - Only Look Forward I spent the rest of that day in the garden. Father, Grerial, and Feli told me to stay in my room, but I refused. I wasn’t feeling sad in the slightest. I would be lying if I said I didn’t feel the slightest resentment toward the empire, which forced the knight to take such actions, but it was just a fleeting feeling. Yet, my heart still felt conflicted. I was angry, I guess. Not at someone else, but at myself. I had no intention of saying anything about how the…

Chapter 3 - Blood of the Empire Several minutes afterwards. Obeying Stenn’s orders to join him for breakfast, I changed, and, with Feli as an escort, left for the royal palace. Our destination was the nobles’ district: a luxurious residential area complete with shops catering to the nobles’ needs. Security was stricter now, but Feli allowed Stenn, who could not walk properly, to leave without an extensive escort because of the relative safety of our destination. “Sorry for making you bear with my…
