[“Still, I will be able to return earlier today than I did yesterday. Then I will be able to see how much your swordsmanship has improved.”]

Still, his father was very kind.

Even though he was busy, he warmly watched over Elisha’s growth.

[“I’ll practice more in the afternoon!”]

[“That’s good. Listen to Aunt, okay?”]

[“Yes, Father.”]

After his father went to work, his mother returned a few hours later.

His mother, who was working in the palace and taking care of the people of the royal family, had no set working hours.

She would leave as soon as she was needed, and she would only come home when she had time.

[“Elisha, come here.”]

When his mother came home from work, she would always hug Elisha tightly in her arms.

It was warm, but somehow sad.

[“Mother, what happened?”]

The boy would lean into his beloved mother’s arms and ask so.

[“Mhmm, nothing.”]

Each time his mother would shake her head. As if to not make him worry.

But that would have been a lie.

Because he felt a strange sadness as she stroked Elisha’s hair.

Elisha now knew what his mother thought so hurtfully.

She must have felt uncomfortable with the poor treatment of the Princess and the Princes.

She did not just sympathize with them.

She must have been concerned that they were the ones to lead this kingdom in the future, and that Elisha had to live in such a kingdom.

After all, the Maureen family had served the imperial family from generation to generation.

[“Ah, right. Mother! Father will look after my swordsmanship this evening. Would Mother like to see it too?”]

[“I’m sorry. In the evening, I have to go look after the Princess again.”]

[“Bu, but.”]

Elisha muttered a little.

[“. . . Even if it’s not Mother, the Princess will have many people.”]

Elisha was a book-loving child, and there were plenty of books featuring princes and princesses.

They always had countless employees.

Elisha’s mother must be one of them, and he couldn’t understand why his mother only took care of the princess every day.

[“I’m sorry, Elisha . . .”]

Elisha shook his head at his mother’s apology.

He thought that he was going to practice swordsmanship before his father returned, anyway.

Wouldn’t she be happy if he showed her how hard he practiced?

[“Well. Then.”]

Just as Elisha was about to tell her to watch him practice . . .

His mother gently covered her mouth and yawned.

She yawned so loudly that tears welled up in her eyes.

[“I’m sorry, I yawned . . . What were you talking about?”]

Elisha wanted to stubbornly say, ‘Please watch my practice!’

But his mother’s face, full of fatigue, bothered him, so he couldn’t demand that.

Elisha smiled brightly.

To effectively hide his disappointment,

[“I’ll take Mother to your room!”]

Elisha held out his hand nicely to his mother as he had been taught by his father.

[“Oh my goodness.”]

His mother gladly grabbed Elisha’s hand.

[“Thank you. Sir Maureen.”]

Sir Maureen!

For some reason, Elisha felt proud as he was one step closer to his grandfather who was proud as a peacock.

[“In the future, Sir Maureen will become a knight protecting the Princess, right?”]

At his mother’s words, Elisha shook his head quickly.

[“I won’t become a knight to protect the Princess.”]

[“Then?”]

[“I will protect Mother, Father, and Aunt. And the honor of Grandfather.”]

[“That is a very nice thing to say.”]

His mother smiled softly, but she soon added a note of concern.

[“But Elisha Maureen, your talent is a treasure your grandfather gave you to use for the future of the royal family.”]

That was a word Elisha had heard several times until now.

It was said that children of the Maureen family were born for the royal family.

That is why both his father and his mother, who married his father, were happily working for the royal family.

[“. . . But.”]

Elisha didn’t like that story.

[“I’ve never thought of doing something like that.”]

[“I see.”]

His mother smiled as if troubled, then gently stroked Elisha’s hair.

[“Thanks for taking me, Sir Maureen.”]

Elisha shook his head and opened the door for his mother.

[“Listen to Aunt, okay?”]

[“I will, good night.”]

[“Yes.”]

The door closed, and Elisha stared blankly at the old wooden door.

[“. . . Maureen.”]

The boy thought about the terrible restrictions behind his name.

Destined to serve the royal family?

That’s unreasonable.

It was also written in the children’s book he read.

Everyone should go wherever they want to go!

“So, I will never.”

Elisha ran down the hallway.

It was the time to practice swordsmanship

“I will never do anything like become the Princess’s knight!”

Never ever!

Elisha repeated this decision over and over again so as not to forget it.

* * *

The situation was getting worse.

His father spent more time worrying than the time he laughed, and the mother who returned from work was tired and that she hadn’t even eaten properly.
