* From the viewpoint of Johann von Velfart, the second prince of the Nebel Kingdom.
"hot"
Nahat, who was silent with a cheek stick on the window sill, muttered.
The mouth is tied to the letter, and wrinkles are cut between the eyebrows. It's normal to look sullen, but on closer inspection his face was smeared with tired colors. It's not surprising that you're stuck in a carriage while traveling.
"Hot, narrow, stuffy"
"So, do you ride a horse outside?"
I suggest with a smile to Nahat, who is dissatisfied as if he cut the weir. Nahat's grumpy face was frowned upon.
"It's not a joke to be bothered by the sun. Isn't a strong royal soldier, or a royal who just sneaks indoors, withstands this heat?
"Your brother looks really fun?"
"That is an exception."
Prince Licht, the elder brother of Nahat, does not like horse-drawn carriages. They seem to have enough physical strength, but they have to be annoying escorts.
"It's a totally annoying person. I want you to be locked in a carriage like a prince ... but it's also annoying to be bothered."
What a statement to your brother? I totally agree.
Richtrich is bright and cheerful at best. Worse, it's insensitive and annoying. Even Princess Julia, who is trying to spread her respect, declined the invitation to ride her horse.
Princess Julia smiled elastically, but her eyes were not smiling. I could see through to her what she would do if she burned the sun, but there was nothing that Prince Richt noticed. That's where he's good and bad.
"I'll arrive soon anyway. Let's make my brother like you."
Nahat gave up and said so tossed.
Grenze, a town along the border, located west-southwest of the capital city of Wind.
Accompanied by Prince Licht for the inspection, Nacht, Princess Julia, and I ... Johann von Velfart are also heading to the outlying city.
"But ... this is very hot. Although it's a bit south of the capital city, I didn't expect the temperature to change."
"No, the temperature is the same as in the capital city. This year is an exception."
"Have you ever been?"
Nahat, leaning leaning against the window sill, looked up at my words. A face with round eyes looks much older than usual.
"Several years ago, a few times. Certainly came in early summer, but it was not so hot."
"You aren't a face and you're active or light. You don't go anywhere without knowing."
It's a delicate place to be praised, but let's laugh. Rather, I'm worried about the part that doesn't suit my face. Is it a face that seems to have a basket in the room?
"It may be because of this heat that the fever is popular."
"If so, there is a possibility that medicines brought from the royal capital may be enough. We were worried that this might be a new kind of disease, but if we do not need to worry about it, we have no choice."
Nahat loosens his expression a little.
Then, for a while, we were talking about nothing but a carriage came to Grenze.
Grenze, near the border with the former hostile Skelz, is a fortified city surrounded by tall walls. Although the city flourished as a military base, it is currently being traded due to the effects of trade with Flamme.
When I visited a few years ago, I saw a strong wall and felt depressed, but betrayed my imagination, the temperament of the town people was cheerful and temperament.
If you drink like drinking, start fighting with each other with silly things. After a few tens of minutes, you start singing with your shoulders folded. It was Heinz von Geierster, the frontier of the soldiers, who told me that I couldn't understand and that the creatures of soldiers were simple idiots. The person who governs this land.
I exchanged letters a few times, but I haven't met them for the first time in two years. How are you ...... I'm fine.
When you think of the cheerful smile of someone else, your laugh will leak.
I imagined that it's been a long time since my neighbor's child stirs my head like a child in my neighborhood.
Betraying my expectations, however, I couldn't meet Hakuen Haku immediately.
The young man with a nervous look was not a muscular old man who greeted us. Philip von Gearster. He claims to be the son of Heinz Margin.
It is said that Heinz Marshaku is sick and is lying on the floor.
Behind Prince Licht, who sadly clouded her face, I and Nahat looked away.
Nacht has a blue face. Perhaps I have the same complexion.
What kind of disease is that a person who seems to die even if killed falls? It is scary just to think.
"I heard that the fever was prevalent, but did Gearster get the same illness?"
When Nahat asked, Philip for some reason opened his eyes to surprise.
"Why do you know about fever?"
"I've heard the rumors of the merchants ... what's wrong?"
"No. I didn't think it was already rumored in the capital city."
Philip smiles and shakes his head.
"The fever has already ceased. It doesn't matter because my father is suffering from a worsening condition."
I was astonished by the words.
Both the fact that the fever has already ended and the fact that Heinz-sama had a chronic illness are both surprising.
"End?-Is that sure?"
Nahat with a difficult face asks.
"Yes. This year, because of the heat, the spread was so fast that it would have become exaggerated rumors. Heat cooling worked and everyone recovered quickly."
"……Is that so"
Nahat nodded, despite his subtle disapproval.
It's the same with me that I'm too foolish and uncomfortable. But here you should be pleased. One of the problems was solved.
The only remaining issue is deforestation.
"Really?
The voice of an adorable girl resounds in my head. It's an important sister's voice that I haven't seen for many years.
This is heard when you focus only on your own interests and avoid troublesome situations, or when you make a dishonest decision. Perhaps it's my compassionate voice.
In such a case, what will my sister do?
If you think so, I will absolutely have to make the opposite decision.
If you are older sister, you will probably look up personally until you are satisfied. Even if it is not profitable, nobody will recognize it.
Do not pretend not to see. It is even more so if human lives are at stake.
"..."
I exhaled a long sigh.
As a prince of an ally, I think we should avoid violent behavior. We shouldn't have trouble with the heir of the frontier.
But, well.
Is it just a matter of moving so that there is no barre?
There are so many tricky ways.
I muttered in my heart, following Prince Licht and Princess Yulia.
