Chapter 69: An Inevitable Reason
Oh, oh my? Who do I see if not my dear little brother. Its been a while, are you well?
Its been a long time, brother. Yes, thanks to you, Im doing well.
In the Kingdom of Myrstia, the royal castle.
Porupon sighed inwardly upon encountering an unpleasant person. However, he showed not a hint of this in his expression.
He responded with an untroubled smile. Standing before him now was his own elder brother, the first prince of this country, Alexdra Behi Dine Myrstia.
Is that so, thats good to hear. Come now, come here. Let your brother embrace you.
Yes.
Porupon accepted it without any resistance. Despite his brilliant mind, he couldnt comprehend this behavior, not that it was devoid of revulsion. It was just that he was used to it.
No longer feeling any emotion, all that was left was resignation, thinking not this again.
Haah you smell good.
He felt a shiver of disgust.
It seems he still wasnt used to this kind of creepiness.
Yet, Alexdra showed this side of himself only to Porupon. Aside from that, Porupon considered Alexdra to truly embody the word perfection. Until he knew of Luke, he was convinced that his brother was the most talented person in the world.
Therefore, Porupons mind was at work. He pondered how he could use this man for the betterment of the Kingdom of Myrstia. At that moment
Hey, little brother. Are you thinking of switching sides to the noble faction?
!
While being embraced, the words whispered unexpectedly in his ear sent a shock through him as if struck by electricity.
Yet, such was not enough to disrupt his breathing in the slightest.
Brother, what on earth are you saying?
He felt scrutinized, as if being appraised, with eyes devoid of any warmth, only cold, calculating indifference.
Alexdras intuition was sharp, almost making one wonder if it was a genetic trait inherited from his father and current king of the kingdom, Mengis, who possessed an exceptionally unique attribute of luck that seemed to transcend mere magic.
(Just a little bit he resembles Luke. No, on second thought, not at all. Im sorry.)
Anticipating a possible outburst, he apologized inwardly.
Hmm. Well, I was just asking out of curiosity. No ulterior motive. But, you know, my intuition has never been wrong, so Im a bit worried. What if I have to kill my beloved brother with my own hands?
That wont happen, brother.
Porupon smiled.
He gave the most innocent smile he could muster.
Then, a brief silence took over the scene.
Right, thats good!! Ah, come here!!
Alexdra smiled brightly, as if his mood had suddenly lifted.
While being embraced again by his brother, who was breathing heavily for some reason, Porupon thought. Indeed, this man was dangerous.
If he would not become an ally, then it might be better if he were dead.
Ice Dragon Dia.
So, it wouldnt hurt to listen, just a bit.
Thats all it is.)
Lonely? Hmm, its hard to explain when asked directly. Perhaps its the feeling of sadness from not being able to see someone you want to?
Want to see? Thats completely irrelevant. I do not wish to see anyone, but?
Eh, thats not true! Its obvious. You want to see Luke, dont you?
Ha!? What foolishness!! Do you even know? Why have I fallen to such a state! If I could, I would tear out my intestines
Thats a lie.
!
Dia thought to herself.
(This human is impossible to converse with. She couldnt understand anything being said.
First of all, why could she speak with such confidence? That aspect also resembled that detestable master.)
Oh right! I made cookies because I was too bored. Ill go get them now, so wait here for me, Dia-chan!
I dont want such things
Ill be right back!
Hey! Listen to me!
(First off, what even are cookies?
Really, what is with that human?
So irritating.)
While thinking such thoughts, Dia laid her head on the ground and closed her eyes.
However, for some reason, the nagging feeling in her heart had slightly dissipated. Thats when
Hm?
She suddenly opened her eyes.
Lifting her head, she sharpened her senses.
There was the presence of monsters, many of them, heading this way. But more importantly, there was a presence mingling with them that was on par with her own.
While she could probably defeat it, many here would likely die.
The distance was still significant. Considering their speed, it would take a few days before they arrived here.
Now, what was she supposed to do in such situations?
(Thats right, Father. Report to Father.)
Wait, hold on
This could potentially be a significant event.
Yes, thats right. Since its significant, its better to report to her master Luke first, not Father.
This was the correct decision.
She couldnt afford to be scolded later with, Why didnt you report to me?
Yes, this was entirely unavoidable.
Thus, for such an unavoidable reason, Dia activated Telepathy, a form of non-attribute magic.
