241 After A Year.

Ein, king of demonic stones, could be said to have had several turning points.

His story began with the Kingdom of Haim - now the Autonomy of Haim.

He is given life by the Count family, which is producing generals, and spends several years in the Count family while being compared to his second son.

The great possibilities that inhabited the body blossomed after crossing into Ishtarika with Olivia, the root strain.

? ? ?

This day was the second anniversary of the end of the war. The exuberance makes me try to surpass last year for the first time.

Especially exciting are the first and last two days.

For on the first day royal voices are delivered to the people everywhere, and on the last day royalty tramples upon them in the king's capital.

And a liquor store in Wangdu.

It's just a little bit of a superior store, even when it comes to the tavern, and they were there, celebrating their first gathering in a long time.

"- Huh!? Oh, you... you were saying no to the proposal!?

"Hey, Bats... he said he had a loud voice. Others will ask you, won't they?

Loran rushes to press his mouth as the bats leaked out loud.

"If so, stupid...... My lord... oh no..."

"No. He said he didn't say no, he said he said no half with half consent.... I mean, he's my Highness. Leonard."

When Leonard speaks of grief that he doesn't understand well, Ein shows a willingness to deny to Bats' words.

But Lorraine's worries seemed worried, and no one else would turn a blind eye to Ain.

"... what do you mean? Hey."

"Actually, Krone's opinion is more correct, isn't it? Marry soon...... there's no way you can do that. Because I'm Prince Wang."

I mean, unless it's been through a bunch of steps, it's not even an announcement.

It's a theory that takes years to do it, and Ain and Krone are already a couple, and I couldn't do it.

"Right. But then you wouldn't have said no, would you?

"Well, it is. By the way, Krone's opinion seems to be that he's a lover until the time is decided..."

"But Your Highness. As a precaution, I ask, is this going to be an engagement?

Ain then remembers his conversation at the collapsed Augusto residence.

On his knees he offered a star crystal, and Krone received it with Ein's feelings.

After that, until we decide to talk about so-called marriage, because it's...

"Yeah. It will. Ah... don't tell me, okay?

"Dear Ein... If you divulge such confidential information..."

I look at Ain in a way that Loran is frightened. But Ain on the other hand didn't make me look like I cared.

"Even so, Lorraine. Ain't nothing like a public secret."

"Bats. That's why it's not so easy to deal with what only royalty and some upper echelons decide, is it?

"Well... I know what Leonard's saying,"

When the bats say so, they drink up the booze poured into the jock all at once.

The drink was pleasant, and Ein and the others laughed naturally.

"But, well, isn't that nice? Many of us noblemen can't be so called lovers. But if the princes can do it, it's not a bad story."

"Oh. I agree with the Bats on all that, too."

"Oh, me and me."

Even so, Ain and Krone's friends have been rumors for years.

Many times the two of us were seen walking around town, because they were creating more intimate air than the relationship between Prince Wang and his aides.

- So don't shut up and let me know what you think.

Ain then called out to the person he'd been silent about.

"I'd like to start by asking why I'm being called here."

"You know what, Lord Haim (...). Because I'm Ain't... I can't help it, can I?

"Ha... when did we get along like that? Totally."

"Lord Heim. The bats are too light, but I don't know... we've discussed them over and over again about Heim territory. Aren't we no longer an exaggeration when it comes to friends?

Leonard opens his mouth so that he can put it on Bats' words.

He wasn't as tame as Bats in his case, but he has a tender grin on his face.

"... I've known for years, Your Highness is just a little... shapebreaking?

"You've said many times that Ain't fine in places like this, not Your Highness"

"... ein. You've said many times that you're too shapely."

"Ha-ha-ha! Hey, Ain! You're wrong!

Bats laughs at the interaction between the two, and both Loran and Leonard loosen their mouths.

Ain was taken aback by what was exquisitely said back, and a man called Lord Haim swallows a glass of booze.

"Phew...... And Lord Leonard. You can also tiggle about me. It's enough to call Lord Haim a public place."

"Ha-ha-I understand."

"Hey, Tiggle if you wait a minute! Oh, how could I be out of shape..."

Looking at the proud facial tiggle somehow, Ain asks the psyche in a hurry.

"Try to remember what you've done. Prince Wang and others... Well, I admit I'm heroic, but do you remember disturbing His Majesty's heart for a long time?

"Uh... well, that's not like there isn't."

"Plus, what are you. Do you even want to harass me for talking to my previous thinkers in front of you?

"- No, Tiggle said he was dating that orphan working girl right now..."

"Huh!? Duh, how do you know that!

Tiggle gets up in momentum and sees Ain. But the face was a little red.

I'm sure that's because of the lighting, not because of the booze.

"Lili said so. I mean, you're also taking me to Heim when you go to work, right?

"... oh, you don't know that woman's mouth is a secret!

Tiggle then sits in the chair like he's lost his power.

Ain was immersed in a little satisfaction that he could say it back.

In addition to that, Ain gets a heart-warming fullness that Tiggle is in love with a former orphan.

"Ha. Lord Tiggle, by the way."

"... hmm? What is it, Lord Leonard?"

"What's going on in Heim territory these days?"

"Ah. Recent heim...... right"

Forget what happened earlier, Tiggle puts his hand on his mouth and thinks.

"Reconstruction is going well. We are in the process of building a new city by abolishing the old King's Capital... but the port town Round Heart has always been. Was that a silence?"

"No. I'm not obsessed with names, so you can follow them."

In front of Ain, Round Heart and Tiggle regretted what he said.

But when Ain answered that he didn't care, he coughed up and kept his word.

"… so, its port town, but the other day the reconstruction was completed. When it comes to reconstruction, Ishtarika's technology has been more splendid than the previous capital of King Heim."

Tiggle's face, who speaks that way, is overshadowed by his heart that this was a good idea, even though he mocked himself somewhere.

"By the way. During the demolition work, Lord Christina came and tidied up the place where the old Round Heart mansion was located with dragon-like momentum."

"... I can imagine it so clearly"

"You will later. As we all know, I make several rounds a month between Ishtarika and the Heim Autonomy to report to Lord Warren… etc."

"Yeah, yeah. I'm glad it looks good. Good."

At the end of the day Loran nods happily and again.

Then Tiggle looked at Ain as if he hacked,

"I thank you once now. This is how you left Heim, who was about to perish… and that you are involved in rebuilding"

"- The guys who were the culprits are crossing from Ishtarika. So we shouldn't give up our responsibilities, either."

"But the Haim nobleman told the Haim royalty about Ain..."

"Let's forget about that. I can't tell you how to water everything, but we should live in the future."

"... thank you"

When Tiggle quietly lowers his head, he plugs his hand into his chest, roughly.

I took a piece of paper as it was and handed it to Ain.

"Recent findings. Take it."

"Hmm? Findings?

"... of Alma. It's about Grint's mother."

"Oh, oh... you mean that guy. You figured something out?

"A little bit. Just look through it."

To that word, Leonard and Bats, and Loran get up and turn behind Ain.

I peered into the paper Tiggle handed me from behind.

"- I see. I knew he was alive."

What was written on the paper was Alma's sighting. They're rolling all over the place, and there are signs in several places.

"Nothing, I want to put you to death... I don't know how I feel about it. But I still want to know what happened during that war..."

"I think so, and I have already told His Majesty and Lord Warren. He said he'd organize an investigation team."

"Yeah. Then you'd better leave it to the Warrens."

What is she doing now? When Ain put it in the corner of his heart, he put the received paper into his chest and instead took out a piece of gold coin and placed it on his desk.

"It's time for me to go. After this, you have one official job for the festival."

"So, Your Highness! This gold coin is just..."

"It's okay. Because it's my personal money - it was fun today. See you next time!"

"Whoa! Be careful, Ain't!

"See you again, Master Ain!

In addition to my school-age friends, I bid farewell to my newly made friends.

And Ain walked toward the entrance to the tavern, and when he went outside, he felt a cool night breeze on his lit body.

"Dear Ein. Looks like you enjoyed your chat."

"Yeah. I haven't had them all in a while, and Tiggle was doing fine."

"Ha-ha-that's more than anything. Well, let's come."

"... by the way, Marco. Even when you're in town, you're not making any noise at all."

Ein joins Marco, who was waiting at the entrance, and proceeds with him on his feet.

"As long as you're grateful."

"Is that it? Speaking of which, what about Dill?

"Captain (...) Then, with Her Royal Highness Princess Katima, he seemed to have made his way to the nightclub..."

I see. And Ain hammers.

At the same time, I am irritated by the apologies for the strengthening.

"I can't believe you're here till the festival day."

"But I was wondering if the captain would enjoy himself beside Her Royal Highness Princess Katima."

"... well, that's what I'd like to think"

I laugh bitterly and imagine what the two of you would be doing......

I'm sure Katima is swinging. I think so, but the two of you must be fine with that.

"Come on. Let's do our official business today"

Speaking with friends, Ain had a lot of fun.

Now for his official duties as Prince Wang, he accompanies Marco, a living armor, on his way to work.
