"Lord Eucharlouch, I must go and rescue my brother." "Is that okay? If you don't do anything, there will be fewer competitors." I ask Berseria. "What I want is to succeed the throne after a fair competition, I cannot accept or be satisfied with a throne that just fell to me through sheer luck."
"I don't think you would have said the same thing if he had been defeated by a human, right?" They must have been fighting for the throne with such uncertainties in mind, such as luck. I couldn't help but question Berseria's words. "That's true. This incident is like a natural disaster, so there's nothing humans can do about it." "If there's nothing we can do about it, then there's no point in Berseria going there." The normally calm Berseria is saying something contradictory, so I point it out.
"Fortunately, I have newly acquired powers. I should be able to somehow bring back my brother." "..." I thought. The power Berseria had acquired would certainly be useful for making an escape. However, even if she was able to rescue her brother, it wouldn't fundamentally solve anything.
"I don't have time to gather troops. I'll go alone." Berseria turns on her heels. As if she doesn't want to waste time talking to me. "You're so soft, Berseria." I say sternly to her back.
"You're right. You can call me whatever you want." "But it's precisely because you're so soft that I want to help you." "Lord Eucharlouch?" Berseria looks at me with wide eyes in shock. "I want to ask you, Berseria, who am I?" "Lord Eucharlouch is the tenth prince of this country, Braidea." Berseria answers without hesitation. However. "I am certainly a prince, but..." I pause and continue. "Before I'm a prince, I'm a hero. That's what I believe."
I said, admonishingly. "Since humans are being attacked by monsters, it is only natural for a hero to go and rescue them." "You're going to accompany me...!"
"Since I'm by your side, use me. Use my power. That's the best thing Berseria can do right now." "Thank you, Lord Eucharlouch. I can't thank you enough." Berseria expresses her gratitude. "I have no idea how to repay you for this kindness, though." With that, she continues. "I'll gladly give you anything you want, no matter what it is."
I frowned at her words. "Please don't underestimate me." I snapped at her words. "I'm a hero, you know. I don't do things for the sake of something in return." "My apologies. That was a slip of the tongue. Please forgive me." Berseria bowed deeply, which was unusual for her.
She seemed unable to think of anything else to say in response to my rare anger. "No, I was the one who was being very rude. I'll just accept your feelings." I also apologized for getting emotional.
"Anyway, time is of the essence. I don't know about this brother of yours, so I want Berseria to come with me, so things don't get complicated."
"Of course. Actually, I should be the one to ask Lord Eucharlouch. As the princess of the empire, I'm officially asking you to save my brother." Of course, I was going to go and rescue Berseria's brother, but before that, there was one thing I had to do.
