The memory before Kahu's return was unclear.

Is it a dream, or is it real?

An imperfect memory that looks shallow over a misty of fog. Kahu was also confused by the mixed flow of time.

'I think something like this happened.'
Usually, this is a blurry thought.

However, there were rare memories with distinct colors. No one knew, but Kahu had met Dylan before the return.

'I think it was when the emperor was waging a war of conquest.'

At that time. One day, just once. He saw the 13th Prince. Because the 13th Prince came to Kahu's mansion.

And surprisingly, what Kahu saw.

[True Master.]

[It's an honor to serve the true master of the Empire in the mansion.]

His parents, the Duke and his wife were seen calling a man on the border between a boy and an adult as the master.

The 13th Prince Dylan.

His parents knelt without hesitation, kissing his feet, not even the back of his hands.

He had never seen his parents like this before.

Hardened by shock, the Duchess grabbed Kahu's arm.

Carried away by the situation, Kahu bowed his head to the 13th Prince.

'Yes, my parents tried to introduce me to him.'

[This is my son. Kahu Delmon. He's a child who's good enough to serve Your Majesty in the future.]

[That's right, Your Majesty.]

'Your Majesty'? In this empire, the current emperor is still alive.

The blood on his face seemed to cool off. Kahu listened to his parents with his head down. Honorific and polite attitude to the 13th Prince who is younger than Kahu. But to ask why on the spot. He was weighed down by something overwhelming.

Kahu held his breath without even moving his lips.

[...]

When he managed to raise his head courageously. Kahu made eye contact with Dylan.

Dylan's first impression was terrifying.

His noble appearance was completely expressionless. Rather than deliberately erasing facial expressions, a face that doesn't really feel any emotion.

There was a strange sense of incompatibility.

When Dylan nodded a little, the Duchess took Kahu out of the drawing room.

[Mother, who is that...]

[You have to pretend you didn't see it.]

The Duchess had a face that Kahu had never seen before. A firm and cold eyes.

[Don't even ask. Erase it from your memory.]

It was full of things that he didn't understand, but the Duchess drew the line firmly. She left Kahu and went back into the drawing room.

'I don't have a choice.'

Unconsciously, such thoughts came. With it was just the end. His parents had never talked about the 13th Prince since then. Kahu didn't ask either.

This is no joke. Because he felt that intuition. Only Kahu investigated alone.

'But surprisingly, it was hidden in a veil.'
