  (Bern talking with Letty……)

  “.…… that, was it good?”After prince Alfred went to war, I kept having the feeling that I did wrong telling Leticia that.“What do you mean?”“I am only a subordinate, it is not good to let someone like me who is inferior to you, tell you my thoughts.”At my question, Leticia had a bitter smile.“Surely, yes, but I definitely wanted to listen to your thoughts. Since our first meeting in the palace garden, I thought your opinions were very interesting.”At her answer I was inclining my head.Like that, Leticia laughs behind a fan.“It was more than I had expected, thank you, Bern”“Thanking me is unnecessary, because I just said what I was thinking …… but …… just one thing, would you please listen to me?”“Sure!”“Do you really want to become king? or do you aim for the throne from the desire of wanting to carry your older brother’s burden on his behalf?”To that question, Leticia deepened her smile.“.…… It is true that I want to carry the burden on behalf of my older brother. I had a hard time struggling because I don’t forgive myself after my brother took all the weight and burden on his shoulders, but Bern, your words at that time have given me hope, didn’t you say that women are equally capable as men and can also work? “At her words, I was surprised, and opened my eyes for the first time.“From the very young days I have clarified my ideas and doubts. And…… the way this country currently is and what I had in my head, is way too different. I want to change it absolutely. So, I’m prepared to aim for the throne in a true sense, that’s why Bern, I want the throne to fulfill my wish. ““.…… So, Bern, if you can, I’d like you to walk with me, because your idea is close to what I think.”“You’re my highness, are not you?”“I know, but at the beginning we were closer than that……”At Leticia’s words, I have a bad look on my face.In my mind, I remembered the day I met her……That day was a disaster, when I saw her in the royal palace for the first time.“You do not have to go to Edward? “Her Highness, asked me the first time in the opening.“I’m here to change the misery of myself and what I saw. I am willing to work for the people. “On the other hand, to my rudeness, she answered graciously.What I said, is the same as saying that I’m not interested in the battle between His Highness and Edward.Her Highness may have noticed that.To my answer, she laughed a lot.“Well, I mean, either way. Use me for your ideals …… “I misunderstood that……“That’s good. I’ll use all to its fullest. However, if you don’t use your power for the people I’ll send you out…… I will not say that I’m perfect. The same goes for me too. Please, keep on watching me too. If I disapprove the people, correct me and if I don’t change…… Stop me! ““.……I heard your words, sure. As long as your Highness remains for the people, I will continue on the same path as Your Highness. “With such interaction, this master-slave relationship between His and Her Highness and me was established.“I have never forgotten the words at that time, which was a word of oath to myself, which is why I came over to work here so far…… Anyway, for now I have no reason to leave his highness. ““Have you heard what I said previously? If I succeed the throne, my older brother will leave the front line and national affairs. At that time, you must walk with me ““.…… Truth. I don’t have any reason to reject that. Whatever state I am in, my oath is the same.”At my words, Leticia laughed nicely.“Well, just listen to me now. Although I think that instructions have already been issued from my brother ……From this point on, I will handle all affairs instead of my older brother. But…… I have something to confirm first, so please come to the library”Then we also left the spot.
