32 – {I promise you}

{I promise you}

“Boo, you looked embarrassing.”

Reina came to apologize and was comforted, and she was ashamed as she calmed down a little that she eventually even shed her tears.

She said, “There’s nothing to be ashamed of. Princess Artin. She said it’s okay to come over anytime, and you can just relax.”

“Young master…”

Reina felt a surge of emotions, separate from the depression she had been feeling under stress, at Theodore’s kind words.

How should I express this feeling?

‘It’s difficult to express.’

Even Reina herself couldn’t define it with just one word.

Her accumulated sadness, her fear and resentment toward her brother, William, and her curiosity towards her older brother, Theodore, who did not even know her face and had long since disappeared by the time she remembered, and Even her heart that wants her brother to be her right.

The many emotions she had in her usual times were mixed.

But she knew what she wanted.

“Then Prince Skyroad and Princess Arsene are shameless… Can I ask you a favor?”

“It’s okay, so feel free to say it.”

After hearing Theodore’s answer, Reina looked back and forth between Theodore and Yuria for a moment.

She looked just like William and her twin, and seeing that her mother, Ceres, called her Theodore, Rayna thought that the possibility that maybe he really was her biological brother, Theodore Artin, was not zero. .

But that didn’t mean he mattered.

Even if he was the real Theodore Artin, he would never forgive him for his horrible life in the Duke of Artin, so it was natural for him to adopt Theodore Skylord as his identity.

So even if he was the real Theodore Artin, even if he had been Theodore Artin in the past, the fact that he was now Theodore Skylord did not change.

So she decided not to ask about the truth, so Reina decided to ask a private favor to the first person she met today, Theodore Skyrod, and to his fiancé, Yuria Arsein.

“Um…Can I call you oppa and unnie from now on? Ho, was this a rude request?”

Theodore’s hand gently stroked her hair as Reina cautiously revealed her request while looking at her slightly.

“Ah…”

Raina’s eyes trembled.

Theodore’s gentle hand stroking her own hair and the friendly smile he gave her were what she had always dreamed of.

“You can call me as many times as you want.”

“I’m fine too. Call me whatever you feel comfortable with.”

At Theodore and Yuria’s words, Reina nodded her head with her slightly teary face.

“Yes! Older brother Theodore and older sister Yuria. Thank you both very much.”

“Isn’t it okay if I just call you casually instead of using respectful words?”

“I’m fine too. Feel free to call me whatever you like.”

Theodore and Yuria at the same time suggested to her that she could sing comfortably.

But Reina shook her head.

“No. Maybe it’s because it’s become a habit, but I’m comfortable with honorifics. Even if you allowed me to call you oppa and unnie… Thank you.”

Reina realized her own candid mind. She

She was so hard on herself, she wanted to lean on and rely on someone.

She is the first person she sees, but she has a desire to rely on two people who treat her so kindly.

‘I came to apologize… I can’t believe I’m just asking for something like this.’

I felt a sense of shame towards myself.

But at the same time, I thought it was a very tempting situation.

“You can come and visit me anytime, Raina. If you need a sister, just tell me.”

As Yuria smiled and told her kindly, Reina and she smiled slightly without realizing it.

She was always depressed, but she was able to smile brightly after all.

“Yes! Thanks, sister.”

And Reina asked Theodore and Yuria.

“If I come to visit you anytime…can I ask you a favor…?”

“Yes, of course!”

Yuria smiled and said. And Theodore also spoke in a calm tone.

“I promise you, Raina, I’ll treat you like I do whenever you visit.”

* * *

After Reina went back, Theodore stood silent for a while.

Looking at him like that, Yuria cautiously asked.

“Hey, Prince Theodore? I haven’t said anything since before…Are you okay?”

“No big deal.”

Theodore shook his hand lightly as if it was really no big deal.

However, when YuRia saw him, he could feel that he was struggling.

‘You seem to have a complicated mind.’

The appearance of Reina Artin must have been shocking.

Despite her status as the princess of the Duke of Artin, seeing her apologizing for her brother’s wrongdoing on behalf of him seemed to have given him a lot of trouble.

“That child didn’t do anything wrong… It’s a pity that he suffered so much at a younger age than my younger brother.”

“Do you sympathize?”

Theodore asked at YuRia’s words.

When asked if she sympathized with her, YuRia nodded her head.

“Yes, unlike Prince Theodore, that child is weak and needs help.”

Theodore Skylord was an arrogant but capable man, as far as she knew, without pity.

But Reina Artin was just a little girl who couldn’t stand alone.

I couldn’t help but feel her deep sympathy for her.

“Yes, I guess.”

Theodore affirmed YuRia’s words and nodded her head.

I expected it, but it was a strange feeling to see him affirming his words.

“It’s amazing to see Prince Theodore affirming so easily.”

“People don’t understand the world’s geniuses. But even so, being a human is no different. I have a younger sister, so I can understand that.”

Judith Skyroad.

Come to think of it, Theodore had a sister whom he adored very much, even though they were not related by blood, and she was exactly the same age as his younger sister, Lilia.

YuRia asked, feeling that he and she had something in common.

“Do you think of Princess Judith?”

“That’s true. My younger sister Judy is always a bright and lively child. Seeing Raina, it reminds me of myself.”

Confirming that he too felt sympathy for her, YuRia felt sympathy for his troubled mood.

She was an unlucky genius who was kind only to the people of the Duke of Skyroad, wearing a mask to others when she was in the Arkhan Empire. It was

“First of all, let’s go through training again. We have classes starting next week, so until then, I’ll tell you a few more things.”

“Yes.”

* * *

‘So many things are pouring in one after another.’

Theodore remembered that, considering it was only Friday afternoon, there were still three days until Monday.

First of all, after instructing Yuria on how to use her powers and giving her instructions to practice, he entered the mansion assigned to him and immediately began to use magic.

Then a square screen-shaped image unfolded in front of him, and someone’s face appeared in front of that screen.

[I’ve been waiting for you, Skylord Gongja.]

And Theodore got down on one knee and bowed politely.

“Meet Your Majesty, Emperor of the Arkhan Empire, Theodore Skylord, the heir to the Duke of Skylord.”

The Emperor of the Arkan Empire nodded towards him who first bowed.

[Yes. Thanks to the information obtained through Prince Skylord and the assassins and the traces left by the foolish William Artin, he easily found out what happened to him and is putting fierce pressure on the Britannia Empire. Huhu, the anger of the Duke of Skyroad and the Duke of Arsene was great.]

The anger of his own family, the Duke of Skyroad, was only natural.

If it were just me, if one of them was about to be harmed, that fact alone would have angered me as a

.

[And I don’t know if you’ll be interested, but Duke Arsane has a complaint. That he would die between his daughter and wife. Ha ha ha ha ha!]

Theodore also laughed at the emperor’s laughter as if he had really enjoyed it.

“You haven’t changed after being away for a few days, Your Majesty.”

[You think of me as an old man, but I’m 39 years old, only 18 years older than you. I am still young.]

“You’re closer to my age.”

[Kuh, anyway… The peculiarity of being loyal but not matching it hasn’t changed since going there.]

The emperor grumbled lightly, then cleared his throat and went on with his words.

[Keuheum! Anyway, let’s talk. I wonder if it’s okay to tell Duke Arsane about your true identity… Are you okay?]

“It seems that Duchess Arsene’s problems are serious.”

[That’s right. He wanted to bend for a moment, but he said he couldn’t do it, and he said he would do anything to bring Princess Yuria back. She insists that even if Princess Yuria opposes it, she must go through with it.]

“So you’re saying I need to reveal my identity to convince you?”

At Theodore’s words, the emperor nodded.

[That’s it. Wouldn’t Duchess Arsane feel more at ease if you tell her who you are? Um, was it too much?]

Only a few members of the imperial family and the Duke of Skylord knew the identity of Theodore Skylord.

Now, YuRia must have known the truth, but she and she only considered it as a fact that was close to a certainty, but she wasn’t 100% sure.

Yet, she hasn’t told her the truth.

‘I’m thinking about it.’

Theodore realized that he was troubled.

He hadn’t thought about anything serious for a long time, and it was a strange feeling that he was immersed in trouble.

The worry was that he hadn’t told the truth to Yuria Arsane, but he couldn’t tell the truth about her to the Arsane duchy.

“Anyway, that’s not going to work. Instead, I think it’d be better to just give you more information about my actual skills and appease me with the fact that I’m risking my life to escort.”

[Hmm, that’s why it’s no good. Got it. Then I’ll try that.]

“Yes. Anything else?”

The emperor nodded at Theodore’s question.

[I am relieved to see that the Britannian Empire is struggling with the Arkan Empire. Huhu, I want to know your true identity as soon as possible so that the Britannia Empire, which ran wild while wrapping fakes, becomes a laughing stock.]

The emperor was basically a pleasant character. Even during his time as crown prince, despite the age difference between the Duke of Skyroad and the Duke of Arsene, he had built up friendships to a considerable level, and thanks to that, the emperor’s character was well evaluated within the imperial palace.

Theodore agreed that he was a good-natured emperor.

But at the same time, the emperor was the emperor.

His appearance of thinking about the interests of the nation, expecting to disgrace other countries for the sake of his country’s status, showed that he was an emperor.

“I would appreciate it if you could tell the Duchess Arsene that you promise to protect Princess Yuria Arsene.”

[Tsk, using the emperor as a means of communication. If you say it yourself, where are you going to add it? Tsk.]

“Doesn’t His Majesty’s words carry more weight?”

At Theodore’s words, the emperor smiled bitterly while nodding his head in agreement.

[That’s not true. Then you’ll have to help poor Duke Arsane. How much did you suffer, you came to me and complained. Tsk. Right now, it’s a bit quiet to ask if I’m passionately protesting with the Duke of Skyroad, but if I don’t solve it quickly, I think I’m going to lose weight after suffering from burden. Haa~]

And now, the Empire of Britannia was struggling to deal with the Duchess of Skyroad and the Dukes of Arsane, who were raging and protesting, trying to somehow prevent this from escalating.

[Then cut off contact. If there is any other important news, let me know right away.]

“Yes, Your Majesty. I will keep that in mind.”

And Theodore canceled the magic and turned off the video screen.

‘Protest. The Britannian Empire will try to minimize this, but it’s in the palm of your hand anyway.’

It was himself, Theodore Skylord, who played the role of the Joker who could turn everything upside down.

And the Arkan Empire, to which the Joker belongs, would never shrink no matter what the Britannia Empire said to cover up this incident.

‘William Artin knows that he is not really the Chosen One.’

He wasn’t the blinding sun.

It was just a pile of filth lying on the street, not even a ray of sunlight.

Even the Britannia Empire must have sensed that he was nothing more than filth, but he was forcibly covering it with the sun, but that trick wouldn’t last long either.
