Riding a white horse with Louis-sama supporting my waist from behind, I proceeded at a leisurely pace. It seems that they are moving a little far from the main hunting grounds of the day, so they are less popular and the time passes quietly, allowing them to simply enjoy nature.
　According to Louis-sama, of course there are guard knights around. Still, as far as I can see, there is no sign of anyone, so it may be a little far away.

“Shall we get off around here and take a walk?”

　When I nodded at those words, Louis-sama gently let me down as if I was hugging him. As he steps on the thick grass, a soft breeze brushes his cheek. As he breathed in the clean air, his gloomy feelings just now seemed to disappear.
　While seeing Louis-sama tying the white horse to a tree, I stroked the white horse's neck and narrowed my eyes pleasantly.

"He's a really calm and mature kid."
"Oh, and it's very clever. I borrowed it from His Highness Isaac, but I want to take him to the country of Dutwa as it is."
"Well, I wonder if you can understand this child's words. It seems that you are saying that you will be in trouble if you are taken away."
"Haha, don't worry. Just kidding. You really like His Highness Isaac."

　Louis-sama, who happily shook his shoulders, laughed happily, "You're really smart." And when I took Louis-sama's outstretched hand, Louis-sama narrowed his eyes dazzlingly.

　――Recently, I haven't spent time with Louis-sama like this, so I'm kind of happy.

　By feeling Louis-sama's warmth from my own hands, something warm gradually flows deep into my chest. As if my feelings were conveyed to Louis-sama, Louis-sama loosened his eyes.

"It seems that this castle was originally built in a place surrounded by forests. Now the forests have shrunk, but there are still enough to enjoy hunting."
“I can’t believe there was such a beautiful place just a short distance from the royal palace. ……Come to think of it, His Highness Ricardo said that the Black Spirit originally lived on the side of the Orta royal family. Over time, the forest got smaller and it became difficult to live, so they moved their homes.”
“Even in our country, the number of people who can make contracts with spirits is gradually decreasing.

　Louis let out a small sigh while lowering his eyebrows. However, I gently placed my hand on the tree beside me as if to investigate the discomfort I had felt earlier.
　Then, although it was small, I could definitely feel the power of the shining black spirit coming from there.

"Yeah, but... it seems that the presence of the Black Spirit is still strong."
"Is that so? It seems difficult for me to perceive the power of darkness, which is the exact opposite power, as much as the magical power of light is strong."
"That's right. Perhaps because I've learned from His Highness Ricardo, I seem to have a stronger reaction to the power of darkness than before."
"Is this land blessed by the Spirit King...or, even if it's difficult to live here, the black spirit who loves this country may still be staying here?"

　At that time, the white horse, which had been quiet until now, suddenly began to look around. "What's wrong?" I asked while running up to the white horse and stroking his neck.

“Is that… His Highness Isaac?”

　If you look closely at the approaching figure, you can clearly see the person on horseback. When His Highness Isaac noticed this, he gradually slowed down and changed his posture while gripping the reins.

"So you were here."

　When Prince Isaac came right in front of us, he dismounted lightly from his horse and greeted us with a friendly smile.
