A quill pen brushes the words on the smooth parchment.

The ink stains the fibers, leaving a long-lasting stain that will not fade.

[New Calendar 001 No. 1 National Notice]

The title reads like this, followed by the content of the body:

[O people of the whole land, I am your new king, the greatest man in this country, and you must obey my commands, and you must not rebel against my rule, and whoever dares to oppose me will be put to death by the whole family!] 】

"Perfect!!"

Looking at this announcement that had just come out, the guy who wrote nodded with satisfaction, and a knowing smile appeared on his face.

It was not so much a man as a boy who looked like he was in his early 10s, but in fact Van der Almac was 13 years old.

Mortal's father, the de facto ruler of the country, was already dying, lying in a hospital bed, counting the days waiting for death to lead him, and who, had not been overthrown by some unscrupulous rebel or mad mob, would have succeeded him and would have been the greatest man in the nation, both in name and in substance, for decades to come.

"What are you doing, Fan?"

"Of course I'm writing my first national proclamation, Elle, you're here just in time, help me to copy 100 copies, so that the whole country can hear me, obey my orders, prostrate at my feet, and feel my greatness. ”

The girl known as Elle took the parchment that Fan had handed over, looked at it, and then pulled her hands without hesitation.

"Whew!!" Proclamation No. 1 was torn in half, and the body was destroyed.

"Wow!! number one, my number one ......" screams came from far and wide in the room.

The girl's name is Alicia Bain, and she is a childhood sweetheart, regardless of her status, but in short, she is a special existence that can control the greatest person in front of her.

After tearing the parchment in half and in half, the maiden spoke.

Low, serious, and...... Uncontrollable sadness.

If nothing else, this will be the last time, and the girl will run errands for the adult.

The next moment is goodbye.

"Your Excellency...... I want to see you. ”

"I don't want to see it, if I see that dead face, I'll be scared and can't sleep at night, but it doesn't matter if Ellie can sleep with me in her arms. ”

"Smack!!"

An exotic style paper fan suddenly appeared in her hand, which had never been seen anywhere else in the mainland, and Elle mercilessly gave Fan a fatal blow.

"Wow, kill someone! Ellie is crazy, she's going to die, the king is going to be assassinated!!"

Although it was Fan who was beaten, it was the girl's eyes full of tears.

She stopped what she was doing, looked at Fan silently, and wiped her tears silently.

"Don't cry, it's like I made you cry......"

For Fan, the lethality of this one seems to be stronger than that of a paper fan, and seeing the crying girl, Fan gradually became less confident.

He scratched his hair helplessly.

"It's really troublesome, I understand, I'll just go see him, I really don't understand, what's so good about that old man, I'm the new king, from now on you have to slap me...... Yes!!Go now!!"

Under the double threat of murder weapons and tears, Fan Gray escapes from the study, which was once reserved for his father, but has now become his belongings, to see his father for the last time.

After leaving, Alicia silently came to the seat behind the desk.

She gently stroked the armrest of the chair.

Once, the owner of this seat stroked the young girl's head with his wide and thick hand, even the father had never given the girl such warmth, and now, the owner of the hand will leave this world forever and go to another world that no human can reach in any way.

In this land of no one's memories, the girl was finally able to put aside all strong pretenses, and with a sobbing voice, her tears dripped down the handrail one by one.

........................

The bedroom of Saul de Almac was surprisingly austere to the actual ruler of the state, devoid of splendor or piles of exotic ornaments, and was a room of inconspicuous relative to the identity of its owner.

The old man was lying on the bed, skinny, his eyes slightly open, and the slight heaving of his chest proved that he was still alive, but it was clearly at the last moment.

"Fan, haven't you come yet?" said the old man, who was about to die, with difficulty.

"The minister has asked the little girl to look for him, and she should be there soon. The obese middle-aged man who seemed to be a close minister replied respectfully.

"If it's little Ellie, I should be able to find that stupid guy right away, well, it's a pity, I originally thought that this body could support another two years, but now it seems that I can't see the wedding of those two children......"

The remaining ministers stabbed the fat minister with all kinds of envious and jealous glances, for the simple reason that Van de Almac was a well-known fool, and if he could marry his daughter to that fool, it would be easy to control the future of the country.

As for the grandson who will be born in the future, well, it is impossible not to arouse the infinite reverie of others......

Some people have already begun to think about how to deepen their relationship with the fat minister.

And the fat minister is low-key and does not dare to even say it.

At that moment, the door was kicked open.

A fresh cool breeze blew into the lifeless room, which made the old man under the heavy quilt like a candle in the wind shrink his thin body, but at the same time, his spirit was also lifted.

"Drink, everyone's here, Dad, I heard you were looking for me?"

Fan walked in with a small plate of cake in his hand, a mouth full of cream, and a big grin.

On his head was a metal crown that seemed to be custom-made in a blacksmith's shop, which hung crookedly from his head and was tied securely with rope.

Seeing his clown-like appearance, some ministers couldn't help but want to laugh.

"You bastard, do you want me to be pissed off by you in the end?"

The old man said tremblingly. His haggard face turned red from anger.

"Don't be like this, Dad, you see, my crown is very handsome and majestic, I have decided, I will take this crown to the street in the future, and then let everyone come to worship me!!"

"Come and see you monkey?"

"Actually...... Then you are also a monkey, and our whole family is a monkey!!"

"You !!" The heart in the old man's chest that was beating hard almost stopped in anger at that moment.

"Hmph, let me tell you, Dad, I have just drafted the first national proclamation, announcing the beginning of a new era, and now I am the greatest man in this country, I am the supreme, I am the one, I am the master who decides everything, and everyone must obey my orders!......!

Van swallowed the cake and then went on to make his dictatorial manifesto.

"From now on, it's up to me to run the country. ”

"Your time is over, so give me an honest seat. ”

"yes, it's over......"

Hearing this, Thor seemed to realize that time was running out for himself.

His breathing was flat again.

"It's okay, I finally don't have to see you stupid son anymore......"

After a pause, Thor whispered:

"Fan, Elle is a good girl, treat him well in the future, and don't bully her. ”

"Which side is being bullied...... Speaking of this, Fan looked depressed.

"After marrying Ellie, if you give birth to a grandchild, come to my tombstone and tell me......"

"What if it's a granddaughter, hey, wait, why do I have to marry that female demon Ellie?!"

"It's better than your granddaughter's words, it's better than your stupid son......" Thor's voice was so faint that he could barely hear it.

"Ahh......h

Then, the history of Saul de Almac came to an end forever.

And Alicia, who had just entered the room, saw this scene.

I thought that the tears that had been dried flowed down irrepressibly again, and I had planned to say goodbye to him with a smile as the old man's joke said, but in the end, it was still a heart-rending pain. Smiling? That's an impossible expression.

"Okay......" The girl's father, the fat minister, gently patted the girl's shoulder: "My daughter, put away your tears, you have been entrusted with an important mission, so you must be strong." ”

In contrast, the man named Father was too cold, although what he said was always right.

"Speaking of which, what about our heir?"

Everyone looked around and found that there was no trace of the mortal in the room.

Few people saw how he left, but by the time people reacted, Fan was no longer in the room.

"I'll go find him. Wiping away her tears, Alicia took a deep breath and tried to speak to her father with a strong expression.

Leave the castle and head outside to the garden.

Walking through the neatly arranged trees, by the fountain, Alicia saw Fan, who was still holding a small plate and chewing on desserts, the contents of which had been updated at some point.

Isn't the mourning for my father even better than satisfying my own appetite?

At that moment, Ellie's anger reached its peak, and she could barely resist the urge to wave a paper fan.

Then, there is no need to restrain herself, only now, only this moment, and the girl decides to be presumptuous.

However, when the girl approached, her anger suddenly vanished.

She found that Fan's face was full of tears.

Fan, who is called a fool by the people, who doesn't understand what he's thinking at all, and always likes to make a mess of things, is hiding in the garden alone, secretly crying.

The weapon in the girl's hand hung down.

"Elle......" Fan turned his head and looked at his childhood sweetheart who grew up with him with a sad gaze.

Infected by mortal grief, the girl also grieved from it, she understood that kind of pain, when she was young, when her mother left, she also felt the same way, the kind of person who lost her loved one forever, never saw each other again, the feeling that her chest seemed to be hollowed out, Alicia who had experienced it twice knew better than anyone else.

At this time, a gentle hug may fill the empty heart.

The empathetic girl stretched out her arms full of love and tolerance to the childhood friend in front of her.

"Ellie...... Tooth decay...... It hurts......"

"Grad!!"

The gentle arm was cast with a steely spell at that moment, and it stiffened.

From the sleeve tube, the ubiquitous paper fan slipped out again.

"Stupid, you give me enough to stop!!"

"Smack!!

Behind the scenes of the small theater:

Ellie, what's the matter with your paper fan? I've never seen a weapon like this.

"It's a weapon from a foreign country, and Miss Sierra taught me how to use it. ”

"Serra??"

"At least remember the names of your subordinates. The girl gave a disgruntled look.

"I don't know the guy who hasn't appeared yet!!!Anyway, she's not a good person, she taught you to use such an evil weapon, I'm going to remove her! Tell her to get out of my country! Go back to her foreign country!"

"I see, Fan, are you unhappy with this exotic weapon, do you want me to learn a more lethal weapon?"

"Huh??"

"As you wish, I will go at once and learn how to use the whip. ”

"Wait, wait, wait, wait!!, Ellie, I suddenly feel that the foreign weapons are also very good, very distinctive, and the white and flawless appearance is not very commensurate with your blonde hair!!?

He pleaded so earnestly that he burst into tears.
