2-15 Ricardo Viewpoint


 It was my brother Isaac who ran into me while I was working in the office. He instantly knew that something bad had happened to Isaac's pale face.
 And the words Isaac told me were even worse than I had imagined.

“So, what is the condition of His Highness the Crown Prince!”
"I'm dispatching a royal doctor right away, but it doesn't seem to be very good."
“Call all the dark messengers.
"Yes, I have already contacted the magic group."

 As soon as I heard the news, I left the office with Isaac and headed for the room where His Highness was receiving treatment. As he marched forward, he asked Isaac how he was doing, but Isaac's complexion grew worse and worse.

――What do you mean…….

 I can't hide my frustration now even though my expression doesn't change in a good way without being conscious of it. And now, while accompanied by a knight from across the street, I catch a glimpse of a person approaching me while shouting “Ricardo!”

"Hey, what are you talking about! Confining your mother?"
"I'm busy right now. I don't have time to listen to your nonsense.
"Wow, how talkative. To my brother..."

 I was caught by a troublesome person when I was competing for time. But right now, I don't have the time or the leeway to deal with him.
I try to move forward quickly to avoid Faust who is closing in on me, but my body leans greatly due to the recoil from the strong grip on my arm.

“Brother Faust, we are in a hurry right now.”
"Isaac, even you. Anyway, you should explain to me now!"

 Faust glares at Isaac while wrinkling his brows while grabbing my arm, and I feel the swirling haze in my chest dyed black.
 I let out a big sigh to calm my impatience and glance at Faust.

"I'll say it again. I'm busy right now. Leave it to me later."

 The voice that told him as calmly as possible was unexpectedly low, and it was a cold one that didn't make you feel the temperature.
 I'm sure my current self has been stripped of all my facial expressions, and my eyes are pretty cold. Faced with my unusual appearance, Faust flinched for a moment and pulled his leg slightly. While confirming that at the edge of my vision, I roughly shake off Faust's hand that was holding my arm.
 However, Faust doesn't seem to back down.

"Kuh... Anyway, I'll take over Mother. Poor thing."
"Poor thing, you say?"
"I feel sorry for having a heartless son like you."
"Haa.... It seems that Brother still can't read the situation."
"I've heard the story. The horses were surprised by the arrows shot by the knights of the Queen for hunting, didn't they? Ta, and
"If you know, get it now."

 While glaring at me with a sharp gaze, I pushed Faust's shoulder with my arm.

"Riccardo, this is an unfortunate accident. There is nothing wrong with us."
"Unlucky... you mean? It's an 'incident' caused by my mother. It's not an accident or anything like that."
"But it wasn't intentional. The horses rampaging, and the crown prince getting involved. No one could have predicted it."

 Certainly, that brainless mother would never have thought that it would become such an incident. She tried to startle her a little and shut her up, and she got the worst of it.

 However, just because it wasn't intentional doesn't mean it's a problem that can be ignored. After all, he harmed the crown prince of the neighboring country. The country of Dutwa cannot remain silent.
 That's why the crown prince's recovery is the first priority. Furthermore, we need to somehow converge with minimal sacrifice. Even if the sacrifice for that comes from the royal family.
