Translator: Masakibluei
At the brothers menacing look, the girl who is puzzled with their reaction in the beginning gradually becomes really upset.
The Girl: “Everyone is always talking about Ellen! Ellen! What is she!? I have never met her even once! “
Gadriel:” Even though she is your cousin, you have never met her!?”
The Girl: “That’s right! They won’t let me see her!! Father, uncle, Lawrence, and the maids won’t let me see her. Even though I have something that I want to complain to her!”
Rasuel: “Complain?”
The Girl: “Yes! I am the heir of this house, right? However, everyone is always talking about Ellen! Although I have been working really hard to study! Don’t you think they are cruel?”
While the girl is puffing in anger, the brothers look at each other. Although the Vankriff family won’t let the two of them see Ellen, they have never thought that they also won’t let her own cousin to see her. Gadriel thinks that even though the girl knows that Ellen is being held so preciously by the Vankriff family, it seems that the girl is totally clueless about the reason behind that.
Gadriel: “So you are also unable to meet her……They also won’t let us to meet her.”
The Girl: “……Is that so? But why do you want to see Ellen? “
Gadriel: “We come here so many times because we want to apologize to her directly.”
The Girl: “Many times……A! The one who always brings the gifts! Are the two of you!?”
Gadriel: “Yes…… Is there something wrong with that?”
The Girl: “Why everyone always gives Ellen gifts when no one gives me even one? If you are coming into this house, then you should bring gifts for me too!”
The girl insists that it is a matter of fact that they should bring some gifts for her too. While her boldness stuns the two princes, Lawrence comes at the right time to look for the princes. Some time has passed and Lawrence comes to escort them back.
Lawrence: “Lady Lafillia, what are you doing?”
Lafillia: “………I’m just talking to our guests.”
The girl’s name seems to be Lafillia.
This is the first time for the two princes to meet such an overbearing girl. Lawrence’s intrusion actually saves them.
Lawrence: “Your Highness, I’m sorry for the inconvenience. Did something happen?”
Gadriel: “No, no at all. We are going home today.”
Lawrence: “Alright.”
Lafillia: “Your Highness…? Eh, you are the Princes?! “
As soon as Lafillia screams with a high pitch voice, Lawrence immediately scolds her.
Lawrence: “My lady.”
Lafillia: “Huff-“
Gadriel laughs at the girl’s continuously changing facial expression. Gadriel’s countenance makes Lafillia’s face turns red.
Lafillia: “D-don’t laugh!”
Gadriel: “ Ah, I’m sorry.”
Lawrence: “My lady, how come you speak without any courtesy to His Highness? Please use formality! ……Your Highness, I’m sorry for her discourtesy. The carriage has been prepared outside.”
Gadriel: “Ok. ……Lafillia.”
Lafillia: “What?”
Gadriel: “The next time we are coming, we will definitely bring some gifts for you too. See you next time.”
After he turns his back, he can hear Lafillia’s scream of joy. Lawrence’s scolding which follows right after her scream can also be heard too. All the way until they reach the carriage, Gadriel keeps laughing. His little brother who sits right across him, curiously asks him.
Rasuel: “Older Brother, why do you look really happy?”
Gadriel: “This is the first time someone treats me with that kind of manner.”
Rasuel does not understand why Gadriel looks happy.
Rasuel: “She was really rude, wasn’t she?”
Gadriel: “You are right.”
Once again, Gadriel laughs.
Since then, the three of them often meet and talk together. It didn’t take long for them to become very close as childhood friends.
Every year, the spirit festival is celebrated on the same date. While they still unable to meet Ellen, some considerable time has passed since then. Each time, the two brothers pray in front of the monument. They pray for the soul of the spirits of the past and also for Ellen. Up until now, they also have been visiting the Vankriff residence a lot, and spending some time with Lafillia.
Nevertheless, each time they see the spirit monument, the image of a beautiful young lady will come up vividly into their mind. Even for a glance, they want to meet her again. The two of them keep hoping to see Ellen. Especially, during the spirit festival, when the royal family gathers together to pray, it is quite common to see the two princes stay for a long time and silently held their prayer in front of the spirit monument. Each time, they talk about the events that was happening in a year.
Like, something like this has happened. And so on.
Rauel: “Elder Brother, you should not lie! That was your fault, right!”
Gadriel: “Sorry, sorry. After that, we went to the Vankriff residence. But you weren’t there, Ellen……”
Hey Ellen,
Both of us want to apologize to you. Will we be able to meet someday? Since that time, have you grown taller? At least for a glance, we truly want to see you.
Instead of going to the festival, the two brothers stay in front of the monument and talk until the day goes dark.
Standing behind the monument after coming from the spirit realm, Ellen each year sit down on her knee and crying miserably. Without the knowledge of the two princes, she has been standing there and listening to their stories.
This is the end of volume 1.
