Chapter 1 Everything will be fine

"Unbelievable. ”

Gilbert's voice resounded as the carriage marched, with some ups and downs.

Tails, who was sitting across from him, silently leaned against the wall of the compartment, looking at the teacher who had been separated from him for six years, with mixed feelings.

"I still remember, little sir, that six years ago, when we separated, you were just a child......"

Except for the slightly excited breathing, the other party's posture and etiquette are still decent and elegant, as if carved out of the aristocratic mold.

Tails shrugged and smiled:

"Maybe it's not just kids. ”

"Of course," Gilbert smiled knowingly:

"You're certainly more than just a child. ”

"And yet, look at you now," Gilbert stared at him intently, looking up and down with relief and emotion.

"You've grown up. ”

His voice fluctuated:

"Fourteen years old, by the standards of the imperial era, you are already a real adult, you can fight with a sword, marry a wife and have children......"

Fourteen, fighting, marrying a wife, having children?

Tails scratched his head:

"Well, about this, as the times change and society progresses, I believe we have to discuss ......"

Looking at his appearance, Gilbert smiled heartily.

The wheels rolled, and the two were silent for a while.

Until Gilbert sighed:

"So, it's been six years, Your Highness, how is everything doing?

How is everything going?

What about the North?

Tails has imagined many scenes of reunions with old friends.

He also imagined how he could add fuel to them, complaining passionately about the terrible food in the Northlands, the cold temperatures of Valhalla, the stupid little slippery heads, the annoying Jinx Lady, the stupid Starfall, the cunning Lisban, the damned Rumba, the gluttonous Edda, and the boring eyes of the two followers......

He even imagined pouring out all the pain, unhappiness, and grumbling in one go: the strange eyes of the people of Exeter, the yin and yang weirdness of the teachers in the Northland, the communiquΓ© and personal vendetta of the outdoor class, the endless surveillance, and the unjustified search......

But when the time comes, when the words come to the lips......

"Hmm," Tails smiled as he put away his memories:

"You know, the North. ”

The prince shrugged his shoulders lightly, his smile was warm and bland:

"It's ...... North. ”

Gilbert didn't answer immediately, but stared at him for a long time, his eyes focused on the young sunny's smile.

It's like reading something.

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

After a few seconds, Gilbert replied softly:

"Northlanders, Yankees, I've negotiated with them, I know. ”

"I know. ”

Gilbert's gaze was calm and gentle, but for some reason, Tails had some illusion that he couldn't bear the weight of his burden.

The carriage was quiet again, and for a moment only the hoofs of the mounts outside the carriage could be heard.

Tails took another deep breath:

"What about you, Gilbert, and Eternal Star City and Star Kingdom, for the past six years?"

Hearing this, Gilbert paused and slowly grasped the cane:

"Oh, I'm getting older, and I'm not riding as neat as I used to be, and the carriages are getting bigger and bigger, and every day the scribe's secretary writes bigger and bigger. ”

Tails listened quietly, looking at Gilbert, who was six years older.

Six years ago, they sat in the same carriage and walked on the way to the Fuxing Palace.

Six years later......

Gilbert turned his head and smiled slightly:

"Other than that, the same old way. ”

"Working, living, breathing, and waiting......"

He paused for a second, looking into Tails' eyes:

β€œ...... Your return. ”

Tails froze.

For a moment, he was speechless and a little overwhelmed.

Gilbert's expression darkened:

"I can't imagine how much you've suffered in Exeter......"

He stared at his cane, and used rare words:

"Yankees, it should have only been a few weeks, and then you'll come back safely, back in our care, I remember, I told you everything was going to be fine, but ......"

Tails was a little unbearable:

"Gilbert ......"

Gilbert leaned on his cane, bowed his head and sighed:

"We are derelict in our duties, and we have caused you ......"

Tails shook his head at him.

But the Foreign Secretary's words continued, with guilt:

"From King Nunn to Calamity to Black Sand Collar, just reading about it is thrilling enough, but ...... experiencing it for yourself"

Tails had to interrupt him loudly:

"Gilbert!"

Gilbert shook slightly, and then stopped.

The prince smiled:

"Hey, I made it. ”

Gilbert looked at him silently before smiling a few seconds later.

"Yes," said the cunning fox of the stars, revealing his rare exhaustion as a prince teacher:

"You survived. ”

"From the North...... Survived. ”

He nodded slowly, but visibly absent-mindedly.

Tails suddenly noticed that Gilbert's energy and concentration were much less than before.

Feeling the other party's mood fluctuations, Tails, who was in a complicated mood, had to change the topic:

"So, what about them? the people who stayed in Longxiao City ......"

"Putile, Rolf, and who...... That, that...... Oh, Edda!"

"And ...... Wya?"

Hearing the name, Gilbert seemed to wake up suddenly.

"Oh, they, don't worry, although they still need to stay in Longxiao City for a while......"

"But now that the most important thing is that you have returned safely, then there is no point in detaining your entourage, whether it is Longxiao City or the Black Sand Collar. ”

Tails breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

"Gilbert, make sure," after a few seconds, the boy suddenly spoke:

"Make sure they, make sure your son comes back safely. ”

The prince raised his head and said seriously:

"Without them, I wouldn't be able to make it this far. ”

Gilbert was slightly stunned.

Tails let out a breath:

"If necessary, I can write a letter by hand, and let people write it directly to Archduchess Walton, with whom I have some ...... relationship"

Gilbert stared at him quietly, then smiled, the wrinkles on his face clearly visible.

"Your Highness. ”

The Foreign Secretary looked at him with a smile:

"They're going to be fine. ”

"As long as you're good. ”

And my son must know that. ”

Tails looked up, smiling as well and nodding.

Gilbert seemed to realize something, he took a few deep breaths, collected his emotions, and returned to the professional, stately foreign secretary, the slying fox Earl Gilbert Cassel.

"I have many things to say to you, Your Highness, but ......"

A polite smile returned to Gilbert's face:

"Now that you're back, there's so much, too much to arrange in front of you...... The Prince's Homecoming Reception, your complete team of teachers and advisors, of course, must take into account the Prince's needs and be in line with the status of the Duke...... Oh yes, Duke of Star Lake's decent ......"

Tails' face sank when he heard the last sentence.

"Actually, I was about to ask about it. ”

Tails' expression became very serious, and even Gilbert subconsciously put away his smile.

"Duke of Star Lake. ”

The prince chewed on the charm of this sentence word by word, and looked at his teacher with a suspicious expression:

"Gilbert, what does that mean?"

Gilbert paused for a moment, as if thinking about something for a few seconds, and then he smiled slightly:

"Don't worry, Your Highness, it's a good thing. ”

I saw Gilbert sigh with emotion:

"Duke of Star Lake. ”

He looked out the window at the regressive field:

"In the history of the stars, this is an honorary title exclusively given to members of the royal family within the Bright Star family, although it is not as powerful and far-reaching as the six guardian dukes of the revival of Wang Qinfeng, and the real power and fiefdom under it are also insignificant......"

Gilbert turned around and looked at Tails seriously:

But the meaning it represents is extraordinary. ”

Tails raised an eyebrow.

At that moment, it was as if the familiar feeling had returned.

He didn't seem to be sitting in a carriage and hurrying down the Boulevard of Grace.

Instead, he returned to the study in Mindith Hall.

Just listen to Gilbert's trademark steady voice slowly sound:

"Five hundred years ago, Sume II, the 'Broken Pulse', canonized his eldest son Elam as the Duke of Star Lake, and let him start managing the territory and participate in government affairs, rightfully assisting him in handling state affairs. "Until the death of Sume II, Prince Elam succeeded to the throne as a duke, as the 'King of the Ascendant' Eran I. ”

Broken pulse.

Tails listened to the other party's words, searching for the little slippery head he had learned in the six years in the Northland to see the world - ahem, it was the history of the stars in the eyes of the Northlanders.

If I remember correctly, Sumei II was the one who finally benefited from the bitter confrontation between the two stars, and the person who ascended to the throne really established the power inheritance system of primogeniture and younger son changing surnames in order to prevent the kingdom from repeating the vicissitudes of blood rivalry and fratricide. ("It's better for us to be more advanced, choose the king, of course choose the most powerful, and a fight won't be solved.") β€”Meteorite who has nothing to do, cross-legged and listens)

Under his law, many of the side branches with great surnames were forced to leave their homes and change their surnames (and also drove out a large number of cousins who stayed under the redundant branches of the family tree and coveted many of the noble families), and many vassals who were not the eldest sons hated him so much that they gritted their teeth, and Sume Bright Star II was also given the name: Broken Pulse.

As for the ascending king...... Tails felt inexplicably familiar, and it felt like he had just heard it not long ago.

Gilbert's muffled voice continued:

"Since then, half of the stars who have been crowned Duke of Star Lake for five hundred years have been public or undisclosed crown princes, who have worn the crown of nine stars after the death of the first king and inherited the supreme throne of the stars. ”

Therefore, Duke of Star Lake is considered the pre-title of the crown prince, and so on......

Tails, who was still wondering who the king of the ascending was, frowned:

"Half, you say?"

Gilbert still smiled, as if he had anticipated what he was going to ask:

"The other half, such as the ancestor of the Taron family in Glacier City, and your grandfather's brother, John Bright Star, is the king's closest family member and most trusted assistant, and is in charge of the affairs of the country. ”

John Bright Star.

Starlight God of War.

Tails' heart sank.

He remembered many things, such as the former Northlands, where the veteran Jenard told him interesting stories about the dukes in the Starlight Legion, such as the Prison of Bones, and Semir's evaluation of the Duke of Star Lake, such as the ghost prince Tari, and the Duke of the Western Wilderness told him about John's background.

Gilbert seemed to get more and more excited the more he spoke:

"Therefore, Your Highness, for the stars, the Duke of Star Lake will either only confer on the king's successor as an honorary title before the crown prince inherits the throne......"

Otherwise, it will grant the king's closest family members as a sign of grace and trust, thereby strengthening the rule of the Bright Star family with the help of blood. ”

The closest family.

Grace and trust.

Tails coughed lightly and squinted:

"But I remember that although in the time of my grandfather Eddie II, the Duke of Starlake was his brother John, but the crown prince he chose was ......"

Unexpectedly, Gilbert quickly interrupted him, and in a resolute and categorical tone:

"That only proves one thingβ€”your grandfather was willing to believe in John with his life, and in his brother, as if he were his own heir. He even believed that John would be able to continue to faithfully assist his successor in the name of Duke of Star Lake after his death. ”

Believe in John with your life.

Believe in his brother.

It's like believing in your own heir.

For some reason, the indignant words of Semir in prison echoed back and forth in Tails' head:

[Is the younger brother killing the brother, or the son killing the father?]

Gilbert took a deep breath and still stared at Tails seriously, as if there was no doubt:

And John didn't disappoint your grandfather: the former Duke of Starlake and his Starlight Legion rebelled in the south and the dragons in the north, and finally turned the tide and saved the entire star. ”

John Bright Star.

The greatest hero of the Scarlet Year.

The rebellion in the south and the dragon in the north.

Turn the tide and save the stars.

Tails silently read these words, trying to suppress the inexplicable chill that rose from the bottom of his heart.

"yes. ”

The prince's face was calm, and his tone was calm:

"And then he died. ”

Gilbert was stunned.

But the Foreign Secretary was obviously experienced, and when he saw him frown, he quickly took Tails's words:

β€œ...... This makes this title even more noble - in the eighteen years that Star Lake Fort was vacant, people talked about the bloody Duke of Star Lake, and only remembered his loyalty, tragedy and glorious past. ”

Listening to the other party's words, this time, Tails did not respond, but looked at Gilbert for a long time.

At that moment, Tails suddenly remembered the words of Marina, the Sword of Calamity.

[Please follow this matter down and find out the truth.] 】

[Find the truth about Duke John's assassination in the city of Sodara in the Year of Blood.] 】

The truth.

Under the prince's gaze, the foreign secretary frowned slightly.

He suddenly had the illusion that the students he had once known so well had become somewhat unfamiliar.

A few seconds later, Tails turned his gaze:

"That's right. ”

Gilbert secretly breathed a sigh of relief, forgetting the strange feeling in his heart.

"Therefore, receiving this title is a manifestation of the trust and respect of His Majesty, which means that you are no longer a prince who supports your father's shadow and has no real power, but is also the arm of Your Majesty, who has fiefdom, authority and status, and is worthy of equal status and competition with the princes of the real title - Duke of Xinghu. ”

Speaking of this, Gilbert looked at Tails with excitement:

"With this status, you can even directly enter the Imperial Council to participate in state affairs and solve problems and share worries for Your Majesty, and it will not be obtrusive. ”

"And in dealings with foreign countries, 'Duke of Star Lake of the Star Kingdom' is a powerful title, far more powerful than 'Son of King Kessel'. ”

Tails still didn't speak, just thoughtfully.

Perhaps to illustrate the details, or perhaps to worry about something, Gilbert paused for a few tenths of a second, and continued before the smile on his face had disappeared:

And, of course, it declares to all the unambitious vassals: after six years of absence, your place in your majesty's heart is still extremely important, and your legitimate right to inherit the throne is unshakable. ”

A place in His Majesty's heart.

Tails shook his head silently in his face:

Well, that's really debatable.

Despite the lack of interest in his heart, Tails still showed surprise on his face very cooperatively:

"Wow. ”

Gilbert seemed to have been deceived by his appearance, and saw the Foreign Secretary look relieved.

"Yes, I know, Lord Duke," he said, clenching his staff tightly, and unconsciously changing his title:

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time. ”

Tails remembered something again, and was slightly surprised.

"So just now, Count Clomar immediately brushed his sleeves away. ”

The prince looked at Gilbert in amazement:

"He knows that no matter how much he shows the world his closeness and familiarity with the prince, no matter how close he is to my relationship and tacit understanding, he can't match this extraordinary duke title that has been vacant for eighteen years in the kingdom?"

Gilbert was beaten.

"Maybe, maybe not, but that's all their business," the Foreign Secretary sighed.

"The most important thing now is that you will soon be back at the Fuxing Palace, back to your home. ”

Family.

Tails was distracted for a moment.

The carriage is still moving steadily, and the fields outside the window are vast, and the scenery is magnificent, showing the great beauty of the Western Wilderness.

But Tails knew it was the first strange sight he had seen.

"Home. ”

Tails muttered:

"Really?"

Looking at the prince's appearance, Gilbert's strange feeling rose again.

But he quickly skipped the subject and turned his attention to Tails' weapon.

"Lord Duke, this is ......"

Gilbert stared at the sword lying in Tails' hand, his face changing slightly.

Tails came to his senses and sighed with the same headache.

"Is it familiar?, Falkenhause's heirloom sword, 'The Cautioner,'" Tails patted the hilt of the longsword:

"I have to say, it's a good sword. ”

Gilbert's eyes froze.

The Foreign Secretary's expression was a little heavy:

"The ancient imperial sword is not only priceless, but also carries history, which is of great significance, and the Duke of the Western Wilderness is inevitably too ......"

Tails stroked the hilt of his sword and raised an eyebrow:

"Generous?"

Xingchen's cunning fox's expression became very serious.

"Considering his reputation, yes. ”

Tails pursed his lips and nodded:

"So should I hide it from anyone else?"

Gilbert shook his head and said:

"No, there are too many ways for people to know, for example, if the Duke of Falkenhause didn't bring that sword with him to the banquet, there will be a nobleman who will ask about it, and then ......"

Tails shrugged:

"Then should I return it?"

Gilbert paused.

"I'm afraid so. ”

The Foreign Secretary pondered: "I can prepare a letter for you, and on the grounds of respect for the history behind this sword, tactfully and respectfully, our fast horse will be able to return the sword to ...... in a few days."

But this time, to his surprise, the young prince in front of him just smiled slightly, and pushed the warner's blade back into its scabbard.

"Nope. ”

"I'm missing a sword. ”

Tails looked at Gilbert with a smile, and his words made the latter stunned:

"I'm going to keep it. ”

Gilbert looked at Tails in a daze, and the strangeness in his heart was overwhelming.

"Your Majesty, Lord Duke, with all due respect, considering our current relationship with the princes of the Western Wilderness, the significance of returning it is more than the value of this sword itself, if the world sees that you have accepted it......"

But Tails interrupted him.

"Gilbert," said the prince, putting his sword back in his hand, and his tone was flat and accentuated:

"Your concern is for the world to see that I have accepted the gift of Falkenhaus......"

Tails' eyes changed:

"Or do you want my father to see me?"

At this moment, Gilbert was truly stunned.

"My lordship, I suggest you don't have to think about it......" said the Foreign Secretary.

"Gilbert, I've seen them, all three. ”

Tails looked at the scenery outside the window and slowly became distracted:

"Whether it's Falkenhause, or Croma, or Bozdorf, these local nobles of the Western Wilderness, and their attitude towards me, and what they are scrambling to tell me. ”

"I can feel it, Gilbert, from your caution in explaining the Duke of Star Lake, to your concern about my friendship with the nobles of the Western Wilderness......"

"Gilbert," sighed the prince, with his eyes closed:

"What is this, the Viscount of Rausch. ”

Tails opened his eyes tiredly:

"It's not easy, is it? ”

Gilbert was about to retort subconsciously, but stopped the moment he made contact with Tails' eyes.

Tails leaned back against the wall of the carriage and sighed slowly.

Gilbert watched him silently.

After a few seconds, the Foreign Secretary sighed and smiled tiredly but plainly:

"My little sir. ”

"Maybe you don't know ......"

"But you know why we're here. ”

Tails was slightly stunned.

I saw Gilbert breathe a sigh of relief and pointed out the window:

"Because six years ago, you and your performance at the Council of Nations prevented this ancient kingdom from falling into division and decline. ”

Tails frowned.

The state is the meeting.

Memories of the past inevitably come back to mind.

And then, with your big heart and resolute courage, you went north to Exeter, and you single-handedly put out the flames of war and defend the kingdom. ”

Head north to Exter......

Tails pursed his lips.

"But you've done so much more than that......"

Gilbert's tone became more and more ethereal, but also more and more profound:

"In the past six years, with the departure of the Heavenly King, Longxiao City has weakened, and Exeter is falling into more chaotic internal friction than ever:"

"As far as I know, Fengzhao City has just raised the tariff on grain exported to the Black Sand Territory and the Rebuilding Tower, which has made the price of grain in the latter's territory remain high, and the lords of the three places are full of complaints against each other, and they are almost mortal enemies;"

"The city of Qiyuan and the city of Guarding are mired in the dispute of the Golden Corridor, and they are secretly playing a game with the Freedom Alliance and the ill-intentioned Kangmas Alliance, which is protracted and difficult to extricate themselves;"

"As a traditional ally during the Nuen period, the relationship between the two eastern territories of Glacier Sea and Elk City and Longxiao City deteriorated dramatically, and they turned against each other in domestic affairs many times......

Longxiao City......

Hearing this term, Tails' palms tightened unconsciously.

β€œ...... The most important thing is that the three southern grand dukes who were originally eyeing us, whether it was the Weilan Domain, the Rebuilding Tower, or the most feared Chaman I, because they lost their common enemy, and because the balance of the three was broken by the claim of the Black Sands as king, they began to turn inward and wary of each other. ”

"The lords of the three lands are vigilant in pairs, so they have to drastically reduce their military forces on the border of the stars in case they threaten each other;"

Gilbert looked at him gently, and the smile on his face was the same as in the old days in the Mindish Hall:

"So in the past six years, the pressure on the northern border has been sharply reduced, and the Great Needle Forest has returned to our patrol range, and even the fiercest Exeter hunters dare not hunt south, and the people of Watch City and the Old Tower have ushered in rare peace and prosperity;"

"And the border defense of the Black Sand Territory is even more empty than ever, and it is said that the Flower of the Fortress crossed the border with a patrol and camped in the Black Sand Territory for three days and three nights, and the scattered Exeters did not dare to approach, but only dared to watch from afarβ€”for their lords and their kings were disgusted with each other, and had no time to look south;"

"The danger of the Broken Dragon Fortress has been lifted, and the effect is immediate, and the northern territory is slowly recovering from farming, harvesting, grazing to business and travel, just like this time to rescue you in the Western Wilderness, there are many troops deployed from the service quota saved by the Broken Dragon Fortress;"

Gilbert paused, and his words were filled with deep emotion:

"I still remember that six years ago, the standing army under the command of Baron Mu was stationed in the central command, and the troops and horses were fierce every day, nervously preparing for the north, beware of changes in the fortress, and they must not leave lightly;"

But today, six years later, the army of the wrath of the kingdom has rushed to the four directions with the king's order, sowing royal power, regardless of the East Sea, the South Coast, the Blade, and the Western Wilderness, everywhere they go, they have surrendered, and the long sword has kowtowed to the vassals, and the territory of the kingdom, which was once out of control, has been re-laid on the long table of His Majesty's meeting. ”

"Because of the rare opportunity brought about by the decline of the dragon, we have been able to do what we want: whether it is to unite the domestic nobles and reassert the royal power, or to confront the Comas, knock the dragon on the ground and warn Alembia, or Chen soldiers to deter the Three Kingdoms of the Misty Fog on the border and regain the hegemony of the Western Continent...... The things we dared to do before are being put on the agenda one by one. ”

Listening to the news of these current situations, Tails frowned tightly.

Over the years......

So much is happening around the stars?

"Your Highness, the heavy blow of the bloody year has made the kingdom decadent and languishing," Gilbert said bitterly:

"For nearly twenty years, a whole generation, with the blood of the empire, we, who once dominated the Western Continent, had to bow down and be a little taoguang to raise our minds, trembling and trembling like walking on thin ice. ”

The foreign secretary's gray sideburns reflected the setting sun outside the window, and his tone was undulating, and he was clearly uneasy.

Gilbert took a deep breath, the expression on his face changed, and as his tone perked up, it came to life:

"But twenty years have passed, and it looks like ......"

"The dragon gathers its wings, and the strong enemy gives the head. ”

"The Milky Way shines, and the stars shine. ”

Gilbert's eyes were shining, which made Tails have the illusion of being out of breath:

"We finally got our hands free, recovered, and put the mountains and rivers in order. ”

"The kingdom's return to the top of the world is just around the corner. ”

The Foreign Secretary gently pressed Tails on the shoulder.

"And all of this, from saving the stars and uniting the kingdoms, to putting an end to the flames of war and recasting the ...... of revival"

"None of this is possible without you, my little sir, my ......"

Gilbert took a deep breath and looked at him with mixed emotions, his eyes sparkling slightly:

"Duke of Tails. ”

Tails could only look at him in a daze, speechless for a while.

Gilbert blinked his eyelids and put away the sparkle inside, while gathering his emotions a bit.

"That's right. ”

"This 'Duke of Rausch' is indeed not good. ”

The middle-aged aristocrat smiled bitterly but comfortingly:

"But it is all your past efforts and struggles that have made you a ...... in the thousands of beings of this great country."

Just listen to Gilbert whisper:

"The best people for it. ”

Right now.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency. ”

A familiar voice came from outside the carriage.

Tails came back to his senses.

He heard that it was a member of the royal guard, the blonde knight who had previously stood behind Marios, a "distant relative" of Dele, the one who satirized the Croma family escorting Tails as an uneasy and well-meaning Doyle knight:

"We've arrived in Loremberg, it's a resting place for today, and we'll leave tomorrow. ”

Before Tails, who was still immersed in inexplicable emotions, could react, Gilbert sorted out his emotions and stood up with a smile.

"Thank you, Doyle, for coming. ”

Gilbert pushed the door open and walked out, his voice continuing to come from outside the carriage, polite, not at all emotional:

"And I am very grateful for the service of the royal guards. ”

Doyle's laughter rang out, apparently familiar with the foreign secretary:

"Mission, Lord Count. ”

"Also, since we have been appointed as Lord Starlake's personal guard," Doyle's voice was bright, as if he would never experience sorrow:

"Then maybe you can call us the Duke's Guard, or ......"

"Star Lake Guard?"

Tails was stunned again.

Star Lake Guards.

Outside the carriage, the royal guards and Gilbert were still chatting and laughing.

But Tails just sat quietly in the carriage, not saying a word, not moving.

I don't know how long it took, until Doyle's urging sounded, the young prince sighed, leaned back into the carriage, and said imperceptibly:

"Are you there?"

A few seconds later, a hoarse voice came from the air:

"Yes. ”

Tails shook his head in confusion and snorted softly:

"Did you hear that, Gilbert just said...... What did I do?"

[From saving the stars and unifying the kingdom to extinguishing the flames of war and recasting the ...... of revival]

[It is all your past efforts and struggles that have made you a ...... in the thousands of beings in this great country]

【The best person for it.】 】

Tails was stunned.

"Yes. The answer in the air is still as precious as gold.

Tails casually responded to Doyle's urging outside the carriage, and he looked up blankly, looking at the top of the carriage, his eyes scattered:

"Yodel. ”

"Have you ever had a moment when everything in your life became so unreal that you were at a loss?"

A few seconds later, the masked guard's voice came faintly:

"Yes. ”

Tails curled the corners of his mouth with a smirk:

"Very well, then I'm not crazy. ”

His tone was lonely.

"Tails ......"

His name came from the void, and a hesitant word of comfort:

"Everything...... It's going to be fine. ”

Tails laughed again.

Everything will be fine.

"yes," Tails said in the carriage, "every time, before things get worse......"

"That's what I told myself. ”

Yodel didn't say anything more.
