　I, Hiccuped Migga, sat back in my chair and thought about what had happened the other day.

　The knights who had hunted down the beast boy. The girl who was protecting the beastman boy in front of the knights. The girl who was holding the beastman boy in her arms with all her might with her small body.

　No matter how much the knights tried to touch her, they could not touch her. No, their hands could not reach her. Such is the report I have received.

　When I reached out my hand, I could touch the girl. But the knights could not. Why is that?

　The question kept popping into my head over and over again.

　I stopped the human girl who was running away on the gryphon and the knights who were chasing after the beast boy because I had a bad feeling about it. I had a bad feeling that we were about to touch something we shouldn't touch, or perhaps we had touched something we shouldn't have.

　That's what I think.

　Because, after returning to the base, it occurred to me once again that the girl might be---maybe it was Kamiko.

　Two divine children appearing at the same time in the same year is something that has never been seen before in history. Therefore, if the kingdom of Fairytorov has secured a godchild, even if it is possible, it is not likely that the girl is a godchild. But then, why couldn't the knights touch that girl?

　That's all I can think about.

　I have so many things to think about: the girl, the boy, the beastman, and my father. This time, even though we were able to catch the wolf beastman, we tortured him to death without being able to find out the location of the village. I didn't want that myself, and even if I didn't torture him directly, it was the same as what I did because my men did it. And yet, I could not catch the other wolf beastmen.

　The story goes that the village of wolf beastmen we found was deserted. The story was that they must have escaped and moved south. We couldn't spend the effort to chase them south into the savage forests. As a result, we had almost nothing to show for it but the killing of a knight. ---My father would find me useless. I have not been able to carry out his order to capture the beastman as he expected.

　The mysterious girl is human, but she walks with the beastmen. If, indeed, that girl is a child of the gods---then we are doing something that will turn the gods against us. That girl may be a godchild---or even if she is not a godchild, if she possesses magical powers, I may be able to escape disappointment from Father if I report her to him. If I make such a report, Father would be the first to try to capture the girl.

　---In fact, my delicate position would improve at least a little if I reported it. I think so. I think so, but I didn't dare to report it to my father. I decided that I shouldn't. No, I didn't want to report to him. Father would not think that I, who had been so obedient up to now, would not raise such a report. Then, I would be able to keep it a secret. I would be able to hide that mysterious girl from him.

"If that girl is a child of God..."

　If, indeed, that girl is really a child of God as I have come to believe, ---- will she kill me?

　That's what I think.

　I'm doing outrageous things in obedience to my father's orders. I am fully aware of that. I have ordered the execution of those who may or may not be guilty, I have enslaved beastmen, and I have killed a wolf beastman who never told me where his village was for the sake of his village. I have been committing sins for a long time.

　I know that sometimes my father's orders are not right.

　But he is the king. If he says it is so, then what is not so also becomes so. So I continue to follow it. Even though it hurts my heart, even though I know it is not right, I still cannot disobey him. I don't have the strength to disobey him, and I will continue to follow him. And I will continue to do atrocious things. I will buy a lot of resentment and hatred. No, I have already bought it.

　I may be resented and hated just because I am a prince, but I am alive without being killed by anyone.

　While I am thinking like that, there is a knock at the door.

　And I received such a report, "Mr. Hiccup, a message from His Majesty has arrived.

　I wondered what kind of orders my father would give me next. How would he use me? ---Whatever the order, I would carry it out. And I must continue to accept the consequences of doing so, even if I want to turn away.

　---- Prince does not report.

　(The prince has come to the conclusion that the girl may not be a godchild. But he does not report it to the king of his own volition.)
