"No, I will not be killed."
I said firmly without any hesitation.
"Aren't you going? But..... "
Perez's gaze instinctively points at the side of the Empress's Palace.
No matter how small he is, he probably knows it.
It is the Empress who is killing his mother, taking away everything he ought to have, and slowly killing him.
Perez looked at me with amazement for a moment, then shook his head again.
"No. The people who helped me are all dead, injured, or gone. So you go too. You shouldn't be here."1
This time I was really upset.
Shouldn't you have to hold onto anyone and ask for help, save me?
I opened my handbag a little rough with a feeling of confusion.
And I took out the vial I brought from it.
I felt the red eyes staring at it closely.
"Don't worry. They can't touch me."
"Why?"
"Because ... ."
I felt angry and rough words would pour out, but I was still in front of a child, so I tried my best to purify it.
"Because my grandfather is a hundred times older than the person who is bullying you."
"Grandfather?"
"Huh"
"I envy you ... ."
Perez said, flicking his little finger.
I wondered if I could tell the story of my grandfather to a child who became alone, but I said, tapping the shoulders of Second Prince more casually.
"And you, I'll help. So don't worry about me, drink this one."
As soon as I was in a hurry, I poured as much medicine as Estira told me on the lid of the vial.
Because it is a thickened concentrate, I had to drink it in water to reduce the bitter taste, but now this is the best one.
Perez glanced at the little lid that I had put out, and gently took it and drank it.
"Hey, Perez."
"Why?"
It was obvious that it would enough to make my whole body tremble, but he didn't frown once.
"You shouldn't eat anything that others give you. Are you fine? Have you receive it without a doubt?"
I was very worried about the attitude of the Second Prince, who wasn't even wary.
I know Perez's past, present, and future, so even if I met him for the first time today, I feel like I've known him for a long time.
The Second Prince sees me for the first time today.
Perez tilted his head at my bruise and replied.
"I'm dying already. Even if you gave me poison, it doesn't change much."
Oh, this guy really knows.
I wondered if the Empress didn't know that he knows she was poisoning the food he was eating.
I just wanted you to not know.
"And you said you help me."
In my hand, tightly grasped by Perez's words, a bunch of soft cloths in my handbag twisted.
Also, I pushed a piece of candy into the mouth of the guy who was trying to talk dark words.
It was brought in a bag along with the bitter medicine.
"I'm not saying that little kid. Eat candy."
I'd rather like my cousins Belsach or Astalliu, and do the nasty shit.
It was hard work for me to see myself as if I was crouching in the dark by myself.
PerePerez asked me, who was grunting like that.
"You are a child too."
First of all, although a child is right.
"I'm 11 years old. How old are you?"
"I, I am eight years old."
"You're a kid. You eat, candy."
But I said, reaching out to the Second Prince with my handbag.
"Although you are older, it's okay because I have more than you."
The cheek of the guy who bit the candy was convex.
"I don't have much time today, so I'll tell you shortly. From now on, take this medicine twice a day every day. You can take as much as I gave you a little bit at a time."
Perez quietly accepted the vial and the handbag I was handed to him.
"It will detoxify the poison and make your body healthy again."
"Is this medicine?"
The Second Prince looked into the golden sparkling liquid and asked me.
"I, can I live?"
As if I wasn't sure if it was okay, I wasn't sure if my voice.
"Mom told me to live. She told me to survive. It's very difficult."
Perez seemed to be exhausted.
Even the body that was too skinny for a child was shivering by the wind.
I felt like I should have comforted him, but I said in a subtle tone deliberately.
"I have something to worry about. Of course, you have to overcome everything and survive. Your mother said that, and then you can do that."
"....Really?"
"Yes, really."
The Second Prince remained silent for a moment.
Then suddenly asked me.
"What about you? Would you like me to live? Do you think I can live?"
"Yeah. I wish you could live. No, I think you have to live."
Because you are the person who will be more flashy than anyone else.
Although now it is as shabby as a caterpillar that has to hide in the damp ground.
When the time comes, you will fly higher than anyone else and become the prince of this empire, and you will finally be able to get your rightful revenge.
"I have to go now. There are a few things you have to keep until the next meeting."
I got up and said, brushing off the dirt from my ass.
"Once, no matter how much medicine you take, it's better not to eat poisoned foods, but if you do so, you may be noticed. So, eat it first."
I was so offended.
Telling a child to eat the food even though he knows it contains poison.
But you have to make the Empress believe that her plans are working.
That way, she won't do anything else, so she can't stop me from trying to get rid of Perez.
"And do you have a maid who brings you rice?"
The Second Prince nodded.

"When that person comes, you always have to lie down and pretend to be sick. You don't need to act on purpose. Just show you lying down and sleeping without power."
"Okay."
"And....... Do you have a wooden sword?"
To my question, Perez brought a wooden sword that had been placed far away and showed it to me.
"My nanny gave it to me on my last birthday."
Whether it's pretty precious, longing spreads through his red eyes.
"Yeah. There is no proper teacher, but you have to practice every day with a wooden sword."
The Second Prince went to the academy and did a tremendous job of graduating from the senior level with only the swordsmanship he learned lately.
So, if you continue to practice from now on....
Whoo-.
Whoo-.
"Like this?"
At my words, Perez grabbed a wooden sword and swung it several times.
However, the sound is not terrifying.
I don't have the knack for swordsmanship, but does it sound like that from a normal eleven-year-old who draws randomly?
That also from a sick child? It's also a wooden sword?
Unlike me, who was embarrassed, Perez swung her sword a few more times with an expressionless face.1
Wow-.
Whirilick-.
It doesn't take much effort and seems to be playing with a sword.
Whenever the blunt wooden sword cut through the air, a heavy pulsing sound rang.
I know that I am a stranger to the sword.
Something more powerful than human power is moving with the sword he's wielding casually.
"This is not a scam"
An eleven-year-old who has never taken a proper swordsmanship class and has been poisoned has this ability.
I knew that from the moment the Second Prince entered the Imperial academy beyond the reach of the Empress, he grew up like a fish in water.
Since he was young, he didn't know that he had monster-like abilities in this way.
I thought he was a good boy, but he was a guy!
"Where did you ever learn swordsmanship before?"
I asked for confirmation because I didn't know.
"No."
"Then, did you have any other wooden swords before you got this?"
"No."
Really. That's a scam.
I wonder if I keep asking questions, Perez tilted his head.
"Am I wrong? Aren't you doing this?"
As there was no object of comparison, it seemed that he was not even aware of what his abilities were.
I thought for a moment and then replied.
"No. It's not bad. I think you can do well if you keep practicing!"
I wondered if I would tell the truth.
You seem to have a tremendous talent.
But then, Perez may have a different choice from his last life.
I mean, that one word of mine could stimulate that enormous sense of vengeance that would be crouching somewhere in that guy.
He responded quietly, saying he knew what I said.
"Tia! Where are you!"
At that time, I heard my father's voice calling me.
Oh right. I had to go back quickly.
"Then I go. See you later."
" Huh."
Perez's shoulder was drooping as if he didn't want to be left alone again.
"...Hey, I will try to meet again as soon as possible. In the meantime, take good care of my medicine and doing well with what I said before."
The dark red eyes look at me.
I came to build trust in advance in the Second Prince, who will become the crown prince in the future, to give what he needs.
I felt like I had become the guardian of a child who was snoozing.
However, even after seeing the terrible look of the Second Prince, I couldn't just throw the medicine in moderation.
"I'm coming. Bye."
"......Bye."
Well, even if you leave it alone anyway, he's a guy who becomes the crown prince on his own.
Wouldn't it be a big deal to help you keep your body from getting sick when you were younger?
As I turned around leaving Perez alone in the woods, I really thought so.
The human side is not knowing what kind of change this kind of assistance will bring, which starts with sincerity.
Every word of mine is going to be engraved in his head.
What did my outstretched hand mean to Perez?
I really didn't expect anything.
* * *
I ran out of the grass and called my father.
"Dad!"
"Tia!"
The surprised-faced father ran to me.
"Where did you go. Any injuries?"
Fortunately, my dad didn't seem very surprised because the time I disappeared was short, but the eyes that looked at me were still full of worries.
"Did you find it?"
Two knights who were looking for me on the other side came over here.
"Despite being inside the Imperial Palace, but you shouldn't disappear like that. you make me worry."
"I'm sorry"
"Why did you suddenly get off the wagon?"
"That's it. Those uncles told me to get off... I know I have to get off..."
At my words, the knights flinched.
"So I got off, but I saw a cute squirrel over there, so I followed."
It was the moment when Second Prince became a 'cute squirrel' in no time.+
When my father looked at me, he sighed and laughed bluntly as if he couldn't help it.
"Sorry......."
They were just following orders when the two knights were smartly scratching their heads and talking.
"What are you saying sorry for?"
A gorgeous woman was smiling while looking at us with a bunch of maids as if they were taking a leisurely walk. It was Rabini Angenas Durelli, Empress of the Lambrew Empire.
