Che and the people around him were divided into two groups, one in the king's room. The other batch was in the room of the eldest prince Patrick.

Madara eats an egg tart, while Gamiga and Snaiger are also swept by other desserts, and they have nothing to say about the books except the colorful ones.

On the second floor of the cylindrical study, he looked through the books that the eldest prince liked to read.

The servant smiled on the side: "The eldest prince cares about the poor the most." Many children who have been orphaned due to war, illness and other reasons, he often says that these are the future of the country and cannot be neglected, and he is particularly concerned about such books. ”

"Well, I can see it." Although the books in the study are all new, and he should have a habit of replacing them regularly, it is clear that the wood of the bookshelf near the keywords "war" and "orphan" is relatively old compared to the others.

After the servant retired. Che flipped through a few books.

The horrible virus took the lives of my parents, and even though I was very young, it seemed to many people that I didn't know anything. But in fact, how could I not feel at all when my dearest person left.

In this cold world, the loved ones who could warm me are gone.

Although a kind gentleman adopted me, I was only an adopted son after all, and I could not afford to trouble them. It's nice to say, I'm a son, it's hard to say, I'm just a pet raised by them. I have to be the image they want to be, the image they like.

yes, I can't make them hate me.

Ah, really. The world is cold and dark.

Being called an older brother by a gentleman's child is really a very annoying thing. Although I watched them grow up and knew everything about them. I think they're cute, but after all, they're the owners of this house, and I'm just a pet of this family.

I only love winter because my world has no color, only black and white.

On winter nights, heavy snow falls and blends with the darkness of the sky.

Only this moment. My world is real. My world was real only when the snow pierced my nerves and the cold wind blew on my face.

But they put me in a cage. Even the winter that I most crave and the most real cannot touch.

……

Yes, I was a problematic kid in their eyes. Children in the aftermath of a disaster need to receive psychological counselling. They would find a hypnotist to seal my memory.

But I don't want to forget the only truth left in my heart......

That's right, just wear a mask. That's right. Put on the mask they want to see, and no one will be able to take my truth out of my heart. Only then can they consider me a "normal" child, and only then can I live a normal life.

……

I don't know when I got into such a life, and I was miserable. Obviously, the gentleman's family is very good to me, but the better it is, the more painful it is. I don't want to live like this anymore, I want to find new strength.

A book without a cover, it's weird.

But maybe that's the idea behind the book. The author is a man called "aristocrats". In his novel, he writes about a child who lost his parents due to a disaster since he was a child, but his personality begins to twist in life. Distrust people, and then exchange souls with demons and fall.

His Chinese pen depicts him in "home" in great detail. Depictions of struggling on the verge of injury and self-preservation.

Che was more interested in this person's inner monologue.

Not sure why Patrick likes books like this.

"You like this too?"

"Wow-" Cheol, who had been reading a book all his life, was startled by the sudden appearance of blonde hair.

The blonde prince in front of him, Patrick, came to the appointment after taking care of business.

"I'm sorry to scare you." Patrick hurriedly backed down, his expression filled with guilt.

Che hurriedly shook his head: "It's my problem, I'm too focused on reading." ”

"It's not a problem." Patrick replied with a smile.

Such an answer seems to have been said by Medina before.

Che moved his hand slightly, then put the strange book without a cover back in its place, and motioned for Patrick to sit down and talk.

Patrick didn't mind, and sat down opposite him according to Che's request and movements.

"What I'm going to talk to you about is the harvest after returning from going to the Three Kingdoms. All three countries have agreed to renegotiate the terms of the treaty, and the blockade of Fiskin will be lifted. However, there was one condition, and that was to return the High Priest Reiner to them. ”

"What do you want Reiner to do?" Patrick immediately frowned.

Although Reiner was originally a man of Maz, he had long become an indispensable member of Fiskin's high-level system because of his many abilities such as magic powers.

"It's said that a major case has been solved, but Reiner's help is needed, otherwise they won't be able to intervene with their weak magic." Che took a sip of tea, kept reading, and his mouth was really uncomfortable when he spoke.

Patrick was still very embarrassed: "If you need magic help, aren't you very powerful, Mr. Black Feather?" Although Mr. Kai and Miss Elizabeth need help taking care of my father, I see that the two friends downstairs of yours are also very powerful, although they are women. ”

Where are they so powerful? One is a well-known killer of the No. 1 killer organization in the universe, and the other is a legendary dragon who can transform into a human form at a young age. That's pretty impressive!

Che muttered in his heart. But he didn't say it. Just smiled awkwardly: "I don't rule out the possibility that Maz wants to dig Reiner back into the wall, but that's what they wanted, and I came here to convey it." And the three countries don't know why, but the unification was surprising, and although at the beginning I promised that I would definitely participate in the meeting, but now it has become a situation where one country does not participate, and none of them participate. I couldn't help it. I am the ambassador of kindness on the island of Harette, but I have not come to declare war, and the threat of force will not work. We'll have to see if Fiskin can compromise a little bit here. ”

After Patrick was silent for a moment, he sighed and said, "Don't tell Mr. Black Feather about it." Since I was a child, I had an ideal to make the whole country ...... Even children around the world who have lost their parents due to various disasters can have a family. And High Priest Reiner was able to help me make that wish come true. ”

When Che heard this, he couldn't help but turn to the bookshelf and look at the books on it, especially the book written by the "nobles". What does it mean to have a family for all children.

Patrick suddenly became embarrassed: "After I took over as the interim king, the imperial uncle was in charge of military power and diplomacy, and I was helpless." And Reiner is the godson of the imperial uncle. But when I heard that what I was going to do had nothing to do with things that threatened the status of the emperor's uncle, they came to help me. He was able to do a group hypnosis. ”

"Collective hypnosis?" Che couldn't help but think of the contents of that book. Because of the loss of their parents, children are reluctant to do hypnosis, thinking that this is hurting their memory. Although it is too extreme, Che still agrees. After all, memory is irreplaceable. It's like yourself...... Father and mother......

"Mr. Black Feather don't show such an expression, the hypnosis I want to do is not to make them forget the past, but to hope that as their parents, that tone will leave a good memory in their hearts. The last words that parents didn't have time to say. Patrick's eyes flushed as he spoke.

It's so sentimental.

Che nodded, "I see." Why don't you do it like this? Bring in High Priest Reiner first. Let's have a good chat. If Maz really had the intention of digging up the foot of the wall afterwards. What kind of hypnotism, I'll do it for you. Well, even if I can't, I think I'll be a complete Shadow Descendant on Hallette. Even orthodox magic can't help, and there are still people on Hallette Island who learn dark arts. ”

"Yes, is that so?! That's great, uh-huh, I see, I'm going to send someone to Reiner. I think I'll be able to talk to him at dinner time. Patrick laughed and got up and left the room.

"That man's smile was disgusting." Xiao Spot, who had just eaten a few plates of egg tarts, suddenly appeared next to Che.

Che looked at her. couldn't help but reach out and wipe her mouth: "Can you clean up the things in your mouth before you say it?" ”

"Hmph......" Madara slapped Che's hand away, and the gagging was definitely not due to eating too many egg tarts. The muscles in the body are also retractable, so why do you want to vomit because of a little tart?!

"The host...... In fact...... I also think that he laughs very uncomfortably...... Especially when he looked at me...... "Commica came up the steps weakly, and looked at the door where Patrick had gone out, for fear that he would suddenly come back and find himself speaking ill of him again."

Che looked at the two little Loli beside him who were wary of Patrick and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, he was young, he served as the temporary king, and he was still oppressed by the imperial uncle, so it was inevitable that this would happen." Because some cities can't pretend, they can only be made up by expression. Making people unpredictable is the right way. When I first ascended to the throne of the Demon King, it was the same......"

Che said and remembered his past again. I don't know if it was hypnotized by people after the disaster, or if it was purely the sequelae of the Seven Locks Seal and the Sleep Seal, and there was amnesia. But I can't remember some painful memories, and I can't even remember what my mother looks like, it's too painful. Only the front painting of my father hung on the wall up the stairs in the palace, but not even a portrait of my mother remained. Why is that......

"Hey, Demon King."

"Ah, what?" Che's thoughts were interrupted by Madara.

"Make me a tart."

"Huh? You haven't eaten enough, have you? ”

"You said you were going to do it when you had a cooking contest before. Do it now. ”

Che couldn't help but laugh, Madara was comforting in disguise...... What a child who is not good at expressing himself. (To be continued......)
