- Geisel's mother was a kind man.

A princess of a country destroyed by her predecessor Dilph, her beautiful silver hair and neat appearance reminded her of lily flowers.

But to live as a royalty, his identity and heart were so weak that he was always in a state where he lay on the bedside after giving birth to Geisel.

Young Geisel understood that too, and didn't want or wish for anything like a normal child.

"You didn't cry. It's great, Geisel."

My mother smiled and said this the day she came home scratched by the fight, and the day she got hit so hard by sword practice.

Just asking that, Geisel felt proud, seeming like a very strong mind owner himself.

- I'm strong. I don't cry or anything. I can do anything myself.

Thus Geisel continued his efforts with momentum beyond his brothers, albeit in the position of his youngest brother.

He developed his abilities to be interesting, especially when it came to battle, whether he also had original talent. It was also around this time that I knew Van, who came in as an obedient knight.

But I guess the brothers didn't really think of Geisel like that. They harassed me every time.

Teased also by the nobles who supported his brothers and their younger brothers, Geisel began to feel his breathlessness within the royal palace day by day.

I still went to my mother every day.

When Geisel came, my mother always said "I love you" and gave me a hug. Geisel was spending the day putting only that word above his heart.

But one day in the winter, my mother died suddenly.

I remember the attending saying, blurry, probably because the cold weather was going on.

My mother's funeral, which was in the position of a side chamber, was a very cautious one. There were heartless words that if the child were a superior heir, he would still have been a little different, but none came into Geisel's ear.

During sending her mother into the coffin, and when reading out the words of the sending, Geisel did not zero a grain of tears.

On the contrary, he knew everything about funeral arrangements and etiquette, and made him do it so perfect that he didn't think he was a very old boy.

(- Did you see, the face of the Third Prince)

(- I had cold eyes. Wouldn't you be sad?)

I guess such Geisel's attitude was strangely reflected for the adults. Though I won't say it directly, they whispered in their hearts that they were "horrible children" about Geisel.

Geisel also understood to take it in his hands, such as what they thought.

But Geisel himself did not forgive himself for leaning down.

(I'm strong. No matter who you rely on, you can live)

With only the words my mother left me in her chest, Geisel turned desperately forward. Even when the funeral was over and I was alone in front of my mother's grave mark,... Geisel didn't cry. I couldn't admit I was crying.

With the loss of her mother, Geisel's position in the Royal Palace fell even further.

At one point, suddenly, an order was given to Geisel to leave the royal palace and live in the Duke's house in the region. Perhaps the brothers were turning something around behind them.

Geisel, who understood that he could not refuse, undertook in two replies.

But the trouble is that the Duke's house was too sudden to get ready, and Geisel lost his way for a while.

So while waiting for the Duke's house to be ready, Geisel decided to follow Van's handwriting, a childhood tame, to give herself to a country called Lassie in the South.

Finally getting there after a long itinerary, Lassie was a humid and warm country like midsummer all year round, the opposite of Versia, which is constantly fighting the cold.

I remember all the people had burning red hair and it was a very strange sight compared to Vercia with people of various hair colors.

Geisel was taken care of by Van's relative's residence, but at first it was obvious that he was confused as to what was wrong with Geisel's treatment as a prince.

Once again, Geisel did not correspond to the year - he was surprisingly calm, he was a calm child, and he became distant from the children and servants who lived around him.

Of course, I had the consciousness that they were putting it down, so Geisel didn't even represent it to my face as offensive.

But the uncomfortable accumulated, and at one point Geisel snuck out of the mansion.

(If we go back by evening, we'll be fine...)

That's how Geisel went down to the city by herself, looking around at a rare exotic land.

A market lined with fruits in vibrant shades or fish you've never seen before. A vibrant harbor. It seems that far across the street is the Royal Palace of Lassie, and you can also see two pairs of giant towers.

With uncommon intricate embroidered costumes and Rachy's words to be exchanged, Geisel had forgotten his time to stroll. I'm pretty sure I was just a little caught off guard before the freedom and openness I finally got.

By the time he realized, Geisel had completely lost sight of the path he had come.

I look around for a moment, but there are too many people to identify the direction well. Geisel was attacked by treacherous anxiety.

(What to do...)

Though I ran out to delude my fears, every path looks the same and I don't know the way back. Even if I stay here, no one will come to help me.

Geisel turns his head desperately to see if there's anything.

So I was blinded by one tower wall. Tower that was on the left and right side of the royal palace. If we go to that fundamentals and go straight home down the street that leads from there......

(- Let's go, you can't stay here)

Geisel immediately started acting.

Looking up into the sky again and again, I aim under the tower with dignity. Surprisingly, there was no distance, and around Geisel ran a little, he was able to get out on a narrow road leading to the tower.

"The street... you can't see. We need to get more in the middle..."

There were few people near the tower, even though the royal palace was close. Move forward through the depressed jungle, caught by the branches of the trees. How long has it been since you left the mansion?

Geisel was desperately suppressing her own fear as she swallowed it with her teased throat.

(If I can't go back...)

In an exotic land, only one.

If no one could find me like this - I wonder what would happen to me.

(Well, I'm... alone)

Hiu, hiu, and dry breath leak. My vision seeps in with sweat. Geisel, who vowed to have a strong heart - now I finally know I'm alone.

My mother is gone. My father doesn't even look at himself.

The brothers see Geisel only as disturbing.

No one, no one. I'm just...

Eventually the dark road ended and Geisel strayed into some garden. The poor minister is nowhere near the perimeter of the royal palace, and he doesn't even see a soldier like an escort.

I could see the shadow of the leaves shaking before Geisel, who was really at war with me about whether no one would find me and die like this.

……

It was one girl who showed up from the back.

The year would be a little below Geisel. Big blue eyes creeping and adorable, and now you're surprised by the sudden appearance of Geisel, or you're staring straight in the eye.

The most striking thing about it was the hair - it was a truly silver color that I had never seen in Lassie.
