Chapter 140: Unfulfilled First Love
I hated my birthday
I didn't like the gaze of adults who gave words of congratulations
Eyes that don't even try to hide their desire
A voice that lets me see through their desires
Such adults keep talking to me
By the time I was eight, I was sick of my birthday
So I decided on my ninth birthday
I complained that I wasn't feeling well.
I smeared sand all over my body
Covered my head in crushed charcoal.
Hanging the rope that I smuggled in advance from the window
The maid too
Mother too
Father too
I tricked all the grownups
I snuck out of the castle.
I didn't have a place to go
I just didn't want to stay in the castle.
My friends were good.
I got along well with the children of the castle town
I also hid my identity and joined the play
I was running around the town
Running without looking straight ahead is a very dangerous thing for a child to do.
So I bumped into someone
"Ouch!"
It was a little girl, not much older than me.
"Hey! You've got to look where you're going!"
"I-I'm sorry!"
She had a piece of candy in her hand.
“Ah… ahh~~~~~!!”
The end of it was splattered all over the ground.
"I-I'm sorry! I'll pay for it!"
With a furious look in her eyes, I bought the candy.
I hand it to the girl.
"Oh, well, I forgive you. By the way, you!"
"Yes!"
"Are you familiar with this area?"
“Umm… I don’t know much about it. My friends does."
"Well, then show me where the best food is!"
The girl had a lot of gold coins.
The girl buys us a drink, and all of us walked around buying and eating.
That was my first experience in the castle town
But I never saw the girl in the castle again
Maybe that was my first love
I can't forget how beautiful she was.
------
On my twelfth birthday
My father found out that I had a fake illness
I have no choice but to respond to the greetings of the nobles
Feeling the urge to urinate, I left the room and went to the bathroom, reluctantly returning to the place
As I tried to open the door, I heard a familiar voice
The voice of a girl I would never forget
Why are you here?
At that time, for some reason, I peeked through the gap in the door.
She was definitely the girl from that time
Having a happy conversation with Father
I push through the adults and try to get closer
"That girl is Shiro Edgeworth's wife!"
I heard unbelievable words from somewhere
I understand the words and stop walking
“Count Shiro’s son is also 12 years old this year.”
The words I didn't want to hear kept pouring in
"A fairy for a wife, huh? Heroes are different in many ways."
Everything shattered my first love.
As a member of the royal family, there are conditions for choosing a spouse.
The most important of them is the survival of the royal family.
There was no way I could have chosen a fairy as my wife.
It's no use. Until then
But I was not satisfied.
After that, I looked up the Count that was called a Hero
The man was free.
He could do whatever he wanted.
A beautiful mixed one.
A beautiful dragon in human form
A beautiful fairy
A man who had no regard for the survival of his family lineage
Why is this man allowed to do as he pleases?
Why do I have to endure?
Since when?
I had grown to hate the name, Edgeworth
----------
I wake up to the glare of the morning sun leaking through the window
Edgeworth's son
Was it because I met with Shisu Edgeworth?
I had a dream about an event I didn't want to remember
"...I feel sick"
Grudge?
Selfish hatred?
I know that
Even if I know, I can't help it
"Good morning, Giran-sama."
"Good morning"
“…Are you feeling unwell?”
This maid is very sensitive to my subtleties. I'm not very good with her.
"Just a bad dream, that's all. Make me a cup of tea, strong."
"Understood."
If all goes according to plan, my subordinate should contact Edgeworth today.
I understand that it is an action not suitable for royalty
So let's just do this one time.
Let's forget all about it this one time.
With all due respect to Shisu Edgeworth.
Let's humiliate him big time.
Jealous? Angry? Hmmm
