Identity
“… … I will head for the kingdom soon”
I told Sebas after seeing him off.
Sebas and Tanya look worried at me.
I staggered again after he left.
Now I sat down on a long sofa so that I could lie and rest.
I can not go on such a condition … I have a bitter smile at that statement.
“It’s okay, as soon as I take some rest, I will recover quickly …… Even so, it was a huge shock … No way, he is pretending to be a messenger and in reality it’s Kaadir himself.”
“” … …! !? ”
Sebas and Tanya settled my misunderstandings.
That would be … … He was not a member of the royal family who had met up with me before.
“That … is it certain?”
“Maybe he had a ring of gold carved with a hawk’s pattern?”
“Oh, yeah … It’s certain ….”
Sebas handed over a letter that affirmed my inquiry.
“In that country, each royalty is given a kind of family crest, and there is a custom of wearing it in a ring.”
“You recognized the prince’s crest … ….?”
“No, but the hawk is one of the animals that are considered special in that country, so it is nothing strange as the prince’s pattern.”
Thanks to the materials collected by the Duke of Almería successively and the materials from Acacia based mostly on books that entered due to the recent active trade.
“Besides, he was saying, that the Prince comes to seek you …. While he did it exactly today, which is why there is a formal letter.”
“Ah…”
“While overbearing …… Milady, are you going to receive that offer, …?.”
Tanya worried, asked me.
I have a bitter smile.
I was only surprised at that time, but now I was calculating the merit of having a marital relationship with him in a corner of my head.
Although it is separated by the sea, Acacia is a large country of the same size as Tasmeria.
As a bridge, it has the best use for this territory.
It is beneficial for the country, for our house and for this territory.
If I’m suffering from unreachable love, this marriage may be a solution.
Someday, this pain in my chest … … I should be able to smile and let it flow like that.
“Come on now … I can not say anything unless I consult with my father.”
Even though I am drawing a conclusion in my head. … … The heart refuses to accept.
A little better … …but only just a little.
Do not you think you have killed your feelings while not. I said to me…

“Mr. Kaadir, how was it?”
That’s why he is a good follower ……
I was asked that by the real Mr. Hefhied, and smiled.
I remove the mask for outside a while ago and just laugh as I wish.
My real name is Kaadir and the one I took in the Duke of Almeria before, Hefhied is from my follower. I’m genuinely the third Prince of the Kingdom of Acacia.
“The purpose has been fulfilled”
Saying that, I sat on the sofa.
A somewhat lower sofa in the Duke of Almeria is superior in cushioning properties and sinks by the weight of the body than those of our country.
“Were you short on hands for helping you ?… Your grandfather was worried about you and his life expectancy shrunk, please mind it a little.”
“Oh, I’m in trouble if my grandfather is gone.”
“Even so, it is a long way back home. Again, she did not notice that you were Kaadir not….?”
“No, she was aware that I was the prince who claimed her hand in marriage”
“How … did she notice?…! did she not give much more hospitality after she knew?”
“It seems that her father has collapsed.” It was unavoidable, she would like to give us a grand welcome “next time” …… That girl, it’s good because I did not give her my real name I gave yours.
She is funny and laughs out loud.
A woman with such a temper is not quite fit for my queen.
Really, but it was an interesting woman.
“What, well, she is outstanding”
I take one fruit from the dish located next to it.
We were now on the ship.
We have already set sail, and the sea breeze sometimes enters through the window and caresses our skin.
“Was it fun? …. My grandfather, I seriously want, that girl.”
While licking the juice of the fruit dripping from the lips, I declared to grandfather.
“did you give that letter to her?”
“Oh.” Next time ” It is unknown whether we will welcome her as a princess or as a concubine depending on how the cards turn.. but in any case, that daughter’s governance ability is somewhat striking, she will help you exercise your power beyond the nobles of this lost country. ”
“Is the King serious? …”
“It’s a good thing if she agrees …. It’s also troubling my father’s succesor greed, but I’ll be able to handle it.”
Although I said that, my gaze is lively and warm.
I wonder which mouth says it is troubling … I think.
Well, it’s good because I have grandpa.
“I heard that there is a fiercer person in that territory, but …… He is in bed with an illness and how far can he reach?”
“As I am quite good as a trade partner, I would like to give them a hard time.”
“Hey, grandpa, I will show you the enemy country that you’re cheering for by mistake”
“I’m sorry for what I say to you, but Kaadir are you sure it’s better whether you win or lose?”
I did not answer to that question.
Just laughing.
Meanwhile, the ship on which we were on fluttered the sails in the wind and went on.
