　It's great that you were chosen for the expedition, but you didn't tell me that we have to leave tomorrow. You should have told us that a little earlier.

　I envy Victor's free-spiritedness. Come to think of it, the Duke always seems to be in a tight spot.

　After the training is over, I wander around the castle by myself and think about tomorrow's expedition.

　It's not that easy.

　I was surprised at the way the other soldiers treated me. Normally it would be depressing and enviable for a newcomer to be selected out of the blue, but they all seemed happy to see me.

　......Was it because they recognized my ability or because the expedition was the worst one? I prefer the former.

"Hey, kid."

　Victor's voice, well-carried from behind, rings in my ears.

"...... is that you?"

　I turn around and stare at Victor as I answer. I don't feel like correcting him every time he calls me a kid.

"There's someone I'd like to introduce you to."

"Idiot. I wouldn't tell you even if I was.

"Oh, you're here?"

"It's the prince who has to babysit the kid, isn't it? Please be patient."

　I guess that my caution toward Victor has been lowered considerably, and I start to speak in a way that provokes him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He ignores me, looking at me with an annoyed look.

"I'm going on an expedition tomorrow, and now you're going to introduce me to someone. ......"

　I mutter a little to myself, to which Victor responds.

"The person who is coming with me on this expedition."

　Victor said and walked a little faster. I walked faster so that I would not be left behind.

　We were brought to what was arguably the least popular part of the castle.　Victor stops in front of a door that has been carved in great detail.

　...... what is this room. It looks sturdier than Victor's room.

　The only thing I have learned since I came to this country is that castles everywhere are big and you can get lost if you are alone.

　Victor opens the door without knocking.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The prince has the right not to knock.

　I follow him and step into the room. At that moment, for some reason, I felt a tremendous pressure.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is a strange pressure that I have never felt before. My cells are buzzing that everyone in this room is not just a normal person.

　Victor raised one eyebrow and snickered at me, as if he knew I was backing off a little. I want to tell him, "You're the kid, aren't you?

"I'd say these people are the brains of the country."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Look at the people who make Victor say that much.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... he was there too. It's Grandpa.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And on either side of him, flanking him, are people about the same age as Grandpa. I see familiar gray hair and red hair.

　Both of them have a little gray in them, but I recognized them immediately.

　They are Gail and Eric's grandfathers. I wonder why ...... is their grandfather. Of all people, the two most brainwashed by Liz.

　They are playing chess at a round table surrounded by three large, plush, single-seat sofas. I don't know who is playing against who, but everyone is watching the chess game so intently that they are ignoring the prince.

"Say hello!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Victor says to me in a slightly harsh tone. I came to my senses, bowed lightly and opened my mouth.

"It is nice to meet you. My name is Leah.

　It is a little tiring to make boys' voices after training.

　At my words, they all stop and look at me. Their sharp eyes almost frighten me for a moment.

"My name is Williams Albert."

　The low, weighty words made my eyes widen. I had a cloth over my eyes so they didn't know what I looked like. I have a feeling they can read my emotions.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... Williams. You're a grandfather after all.
