"Originally he was favored by the king. Of course, the prince would have liked him.

"He's a strange boy, isn't he? At his age, he is not intimidated. He does what is in front of him without hesitation. I wonder what kind of child he must have grown up ...... to be like that."

"But they didn't seem that surprised to see the inside of that castle, though."

"They seem to be very adaptable animals."

　As they talk, they stop at a certain point.

　A staircase leading down enters their field of vision. It is pitch black, and even if they strain their eyes, they cannot see what is down there.

"What do we do now?"

"We've got to go."

　Marius responds immediately to Ceres' words.

　They slowly descended with determined expressions on their faces.

"What?"

　I heard Victor's voice and squinted involuntarily at the same time.

　Suddenly my vision brightened. It takes a moment for my eyes to adjust.

　What is this light? I'm in the water, light can be ...... anything. It's like having a flashlight pointed at me.

"I guess we'll just have to walk towards the light."

　Victor says this and undauntedly moves forward.

　We should be more cautious from here. ....... You really don't know what to be afraid of, do you?

　The path gets narrower and narrower. The intensity of the light increases in proportion.

　...... You're lucky this way is not Captain Marius and the others. You'll never get through.

　We manage to get out of the way of the path that one person can manage to pass through. A large waterfall comes into view. The water is rushing down. It's like a big open space, where I can breathe a little easier than before.

　Lots of ivy, moss, and even small flowers cover the walls. It's a very magical place, and I can't help but gaze at it for a while.

　This place looks like something you would find in a beautiful ruin book. Who would have thought that there would be such a beautiful place in the middle of that filthy lake.

"What's that?"

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

　I look where Viktor's eyes are looking.

　There is one spot in the middle of the waterfall where the water is not flowing. The water is flowing in such a way as to avoid that area. There is something. ......

　Struggling to see. It looks a little blurred, perhaps because you are covering your eyes with a cloth. If there is one thing I can make out, it is that it looks like a person.

　...... doll?　There is no such thing as a tiny human being.

　Please don't just throw in horror elements out of the blue. At least make it human. ...... No, but a fat middle-aged man standing in the middle of a waterfall is scary.

"I finally found you."

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

　Victor muttered quietly next to me.

"Is that the source of the lake?"

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

"Yeah. That fairy is the source of the lake."

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

　He said this with a certainty in his voice.

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

　Fairies?　Is that a fairy?　What, there are fairies in this world?

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

　That's new. It's a shame that I've been reading all those books and I didn't know about fairies. I need to learn more.

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

　I'm glad it wasn't a doll.

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

"So, if I win that fairy, will I be king?"

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

"Yes. I can surpass my brother."

"...... the second prince's pining?"

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

　I said the nasty things on purpose because I knew you would be angry.

　Since I hadn't said anything at all about bad girls since I started wearing men's clothes, I had to say something bad girl-like here.

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

"Is that bad?"

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

　Victor replies in a rather low voice, perhaps offended.

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

"Is the first prince good?"

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

"I don't know, that guy."

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

　He answered my question in a depressed tone and proceeded to walk toward the waterfall.

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

　The first prince, I had seen him once in that arena. He was a calm-looking man with long blond hair like Victor.

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

　From the way Victor was acting, he seemed to dislike his brother a lot. Like in my place, brothers have their own problems.
