Hey, why is the Crown Prince here!
...may be enough to be surprised.
The Academy is an institution under the Imperial Family, and the Crown Prince is the one who oversees the administration of the Imperial Family.
He must have come here because he has something to do.
If that's the case, then it makes sense that he quietly stopped by the academy without showing any signs of saying, "I'm the Crown Prince."
Given his personality, there's no way he'd come to school in a flashy imperial carriage.
'The two people next to me must be knights.'
He even dressed his knights in ordinary clothes, as if he wanted to go quietly.
Of course, that can't hide the royal aura that's so full of guilt, but if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have known he was the Crown Prince.
'This, this is a God-given opportunity.'
The person we absolutely must meet to achieve our ultimate goal.
Someone who needs to build trust and ask for help.
Even at this very moment, when the Crown Prince's help was needed, he just passed by before my eyes like this?
There is a god.
And it must be on my side.
'But what should I do?'
I shouldn't have noticed the Crown Prince, who was sneaking around like that.
Besides, even if we succeed in mixing up our stories, would the Crown Prince be willing to listen to our story leisurely?
'Dude, think quickly!'
Even as I ponder this, the Crown Prince is moving further and further away.
Gradually...
'Gyaaaaah!'
Ugh, I don't know.
What I'm looking forward to is the well-mannered personality of Crown Prince Bain Valensier, whom I knew well and was close with before the return.
Let's just believe it and go for it!
“Alex! Catch me!”
Vania suddenly shouted and ran somewhere.
“Sister?”
Alex tilted his head.
Vania suddenly runs across the backyard playground.
Without even looking ahead, she runs at full speed towards Alex and Ryan behind her, shouting, "Catch me!"
At full speed...
“Hey, hey! Look ahead!”
Ryan jumped up in surprise.
Vania was thrown backwards after bumping into the back of the man ahead of her.
'Why is she like that?!'
Ryan was surprised.
...Is the kid crazy? It seemed like Vania had lost her mind.
He ran over to see her in a hurry.
“Are you okay?”
There were three men, and one of them helped Vania up.
Vania got up with the man's support and suddenly started crying.
“Sob. Sob. Huaaaang!”
...Wow, are you crazy? You don’t look like you’re hurt anywhere.
Besides, at thirteen, aren't you past the age to cry like a child when you're sick?
“Hey, sis! Are you okay? Where are you hurt?”
“Hwaaang!”
Alex was worried, and the three men who had bumped into Vania couldn't leave either.
Ryan turned his head at the sight.
What's inside that thirteen-year-old body?
It is the soul of an adult woman who has returned after living for twenty years.
But then, out of the blue, while playing tag, she starts hitting on someone and then curls up on her own and starts crying like a child?
Unless Vania has gone mad, it must have been an intentional act.
'So, what is that?'
But if you know what the intention is, you can either go with the beat or not!
I'll give you a heads up!
'First of all... are these guys?'
Ryan quickly scanned the three men's faces.
All three are noble men who appear to be in their late 20s or early 30s.
“I’m sorry. My daughter was playing around.”
“Oh, I’m sorry, Dad...”
Vania suddenly apologized. Ryan tried to comfort her.
“It’s okay. Are you hurt anywhere?”
"Ugh. Dad's in a bad mood, and I'm sorry for causing trouble. I was afraid everyone would be upset, so I did it on purpose to make everyone laugh..."
Even in the midst of all this, she held on to the hem of the man's clothes, so tightly that her knuckles turned white, and refused to let go.
So all three of them can't leave.
'She's really trying to catch these people.'
So how should we match the rhythm? Ryan quickly thought again.
“Ugh. The teacher here is really bad... He didn’t even let Alex take the test...”
“Vania.”
“Ugh, my dad isn’t a criminal... Sob. He hasn’t killed a single person, yet they kick you out without even listening to you! Sob!”
?!
Ryan's mouth fell open.
He guessed he was mistaken.
Vania is just crazy!
Strangers are all listening, so what are you talking about, killing people, being a criminal?
“Hey, come here.”
Ryan pulled Vania away, preventing her from uttering any more nonsense. He also ripped the hand that was tightly gripping the man's shirt off.
“I'm sorry.”
And then he turns around in a hurry.
"For a moment."
Someone stopped him in his tracks.
Ryan looked back.
'Ah.'
A man who seemed to have called him while straightening the hem of Vania's clothes.
The moment he looked at that face properly.
Ryan felt a strange sense of familiarity.
Guilty face.
Deep blue eyes.
He remembers someone with a similar vibe.
‘...Third Prince?’
Somehow, when Ryan thought of Nike, the man asked.
“Ryan Belzer, is that right?”
Crown Prince, Bane Valencier.
All the time before the regression is gone, and only I remember it.
So, I didn't want to tell anyone, I didn't want to think about it, and I wanted to take the memories of the Crown Prince with me to my grave...
I want to reflect on this one last time.
Because after returning, the first meeting with him in the second round...
'Fuck, damn it!'
...because it’s no different from the first time when I would cringe in embarrassment just thinking about it!
“Please break up with Nike.”
"... Yes?"
Everything went blank. At first, I thought I was dreaming.
Bane, my lover's older brother, the Crown Prince, who seemed so kind and friendly when he was laughing and chatting with Nike...
"You understand what I mean. I don't want to argue too much."
As soon as he called me alone into his office, he changed.
I thought that his handsome face, affectionate eyes, and way of speaking were just like Nike's, but I was wrong.
Bane was a man capable of striking the expression of a ruthless predator.
“Your Highness... You didn’t say anything a moment ago, so why are you suddenly saying this...?”
"It's hard to talk about this in front of Nike. You might think I'm hypocritical, but I don't want to be a bad older brother to him."
“...”
"Nike is precious to me. Not because I need him on the battlefield or because he's useful. I love him even if he's of no immediate use to the royal family."
Even without saying it, I knew Bane's true feelings.
Because he was the only one.
The only person who feels sorry for Nike, who goes on countless campaigns and sacrifices to fulfill his royal duties.
"And, to the best of my ability, I want to do everything I can. If there's a thorny path ahead of him, I'll clear it with my own hands."
“I, I, ugh, is this a thorny path...?”
“..."
Bane closed his mouth. I was already shedding tears from the moment he began speaking.
But Bane didn't feel sorry for that day and just got up mercilessly.
"You two, isn't this a relationship where it's obvious you'll both get hurt? If you care about Nike, you should just quietly part ways."
“Your Highness! Just a moment!”
I grabbed Bane's arm as he tried to leave.
And said.
“I can’t break up with him...”
"What?"
"I, I love him. I'll never have anyone like him again in my life. I know why Your Highness hates me, but... I really, really can't. I can't live without him..."
I knew that without the support of the Crown Prince, our relationship would soon end.
Even though I knew we shouldn't see each other, I followed Nike around for two years, and he pushed me away.
This means that, unlike me, who was blinded by love, Nike was the only one among us who had reason.
If you ask which of the two of us wants the other person more and loves them more, it's me.
Nike is a person who follows his brother well, so if he tells him to break up, he will break up with me.
Of course it will be like that.
We've only been dating for a month now.
The one who is more precious to Nike is probably his brother rather than me.
“Your Highness, hmph. It’s not me, but my family that you hate, right?”
“Why are you asking when you already know?”
"But, I... I didn't do anything bad. Please believe me. And I won't do anything bad in the future."
“Let go of this.”
"Ugh, Your Highness! Just a moment. Please listen to me a little longer. What should I do? I want to get out of the house if I can. If Father and Nike fall into the water, I'll save Nike."
“What...”
Seriously, there was nothing to see.
I didn't even know what I was saying; I was out of my mind and just poured it out.
"Look, I'll show you. Yes? If my family does anything bad, I'll interfere. I can do it. If they do something bad, I'll sneak out the evidence and all that stuff and bring it to Your Highness!"
“You just have to not do bad things in the first place.”
"...”
... That’s right.
I was so frustrated that I wanted to die.
Bane glared at me, speechless, then quickly pulled his arm free.
"Ah!"
Could it be because I was completely exhausted?
I stumbled and fell, even though I wasn't thrown, and Bane froze in surprise.
I didn't fall hard, and I wasn't hurt, but Bane saw me fall and reflexively tried to reach out his hand, but then withdrew it.
A pitiful expression, biting his lips and turning his head.
I saw Nike in that expression.
They look so much alike that it’s impossible to hide the fact that they are brothers...
Good person.
I was convinced that if I cried and begged, his heart would inevitably weaken.
“...I’m sorry, Princess. But Nike is too precious to me. Please, I beg you, stop seeing him.”
Bane said that and turned around.
I crawled at full speed towards the receding Bane.
“No!”
And I hugged his legs tightly and hung on to them, screaming.
“Father!!!”
“?!”
