Agares’ golden eyes sparkled.
If he continued to torment the still young human, he might end up being disliked by the kid, so he was reluctantly arguing only with words. Just wait until you grow a little more.
“Bunny. It’s a fitting nickname, suits you well.”
Ludwig didn’t back down either.
Just you wait until I grow a little more. You illbred devil.
“Anyway, I sometimes get called ‘Ash’ by the kid, you’re always called a food thief.”
“……!”
Spot on.
Ludwig’s red eyes twitched slightly. Not missing this, Agares smiled slyly.
Be it a devil or a boy, they’re both petty.
If the entities who served them saw this, they would have doubted their eyes and ears.
“So who is this brother you mentioned? You should know since you’re his subordinate.”
“……A genius of the rarest kind.”
“In what way?”
“Everything. Especially magic.”
“Even if he’s a genius among humans, what does it mean?”
“There are people like the father of the land thief among those humans.”
“…… Comparable to Hugo Artina?”
“Could be in about 15 years.”
A moment of silent passed.
The minds of the two rulers were racing.
The words they uttered simultaneously were sinister.
“Shall we kill him in advance?”
“Shall we send him into exile?”
“Quite a soft thinker for an emperor.”
“He’s my subordinate.”
“Planning to steal the kid?”
“……Might be better to kill.”
The crime for the death sentence was theft. The object of theft was the kid.
They need to find a more definitive crime.
While the two rulers were having a far too serious conversation about something not so serious, Evelia came out of the shack with two bottles of orange juice, each as big as herself, and asked innocently.
“Orange juice? And snacks?”
Evelia didn’t know. She didn’t know that the two rulers did not care about the orange juice at this moment.
And that the factory owner, who she cherished so much, was under threat of his life.
The two rulers, who had been alternating between alliances and wars, immediately ran over and each took a bottle of orange juice from their small friend.
“Land thief.”
“Hmm?”
As Evelia, who was sucking the orange pieces at the bottom of the cool new juice with a straw, heard Ludwig calling her, she received his name for the first time in two years.
“Louie.”
“……?”
“Call me Louie. From now on.”
The boy who revealed his alias had slightly red ears.
“Louie! You finally told me your name!”
Her voice was brightly calling out ‘Louie!’ after stretching her body forward with both hands on the ground where she sat. It was as bright as the sun.
“Why didn’t you ask for my name before?”
“I thought you might not want to tell me. Even if I didn’t know your name, we were still friends, so I didn’t ask.”
What does it mean to not want to tell?
As Ludwig was processing the thought, Agares, who couldn’t hold his curiosity, asked.
“Why did you think he might not want to tell you?”
Then Evelia sighed as if Agares was clueless and gestured for him to lend his ear.
When Agares leaned over to offer his ear for the little friend,
‘Louie is actually a criminal. If caught, the guards will take him. Keep the rabbit a secret.’
Evelia whispered quietly after making her hand round.
The crown prince of this empire is a criminal? At the unexpected information, Agares laughed quietly.
“Louie, you should turn yourself in anyway. If you don’t have the courage, I’ll go with you.”
“Confess.”
“Hmm. That.”
Evelia at three, Ludwig at seven.
A joke that Ludwig made when he was younger than now, Evelia, now five years old, still believed it wholeheartedly.
“Hey, that…… sigh…… nevermind.”
While he was losing his patience, the corner of his mouth slowly rose.
“Louie.” The pet name, coming from my friend’s mouth, was sweet.
Even the air I breathed in was delicious. Intensely so.
Thus, the young friend became, in another sense, his only existence.
The only existence that had ever called him ‘Louie,’ his mother, had already left the world.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]In the early evening, as the sunset turned dusky, outside the prince’s office.
Count Ert, who assists the small ruler of this empire at close quarters, neatly arranged his attire, reviewed the documents once again, took a few deep breaths, and knocked on the office door.
The wise prince, if there was even a moment of disorder in the evening report, would sharply catch it.
‘Even though he’s still young, he’s really strict.’
While it was reassuring that the future of this empire would be bright in the next generation, when the young ruler’s eyes swirled unpredictably, fear also arose.
Especially, those red eyes.
The ‘Blessing of the Royal Family,’ which even the current Emperor Karlail does not have.
The red eyes, which are extremely rare and said to appear over several generations, have a tradition of being able to see through people’s hearts more sharply.
So, the ancient texts sometimes praised the red eyes as ‘Wisdom Eyes’.
When faced with those eyes, one would completely forget what they were saying.
Today was no different.
