The Last Ruler: The Return of the Goddess
The streets of the imperial capital

The town.... Altair along with Prince Abel and Ansel who accompanied them had just arrived. Seeing the capital for the first time for Altair was amazing, he could not stand still and kept looking over and over, it was because he had never seen much of it there.

Similarly, Abel, who had only lived in the palace and was not allowed to go out if it was not something very important, was almost confined to the Imperial palace for the rest of his life. Of course it was for safety reasons.

" Well... There are many things to see here that are nowhere else. It's amazing" said Altair.

" Of course. This is the capital " said Abel with great enthusiasm.

A good choice was to bring Altair into the city all of a sudden, it was because Altair was also able to see things. And behind them, Ansel who accompanied them as a guard also smiled happily to see the two enjoy the streets.

" Yes, because it's here. What if I tried some food that is not usually in the palace. His majesty? Miss Altair? " the idea is to them both.

" uh? what food is that? " ask Abel curious.

" Is it delicious?? " ask Altair anyway.

But Ansel did not answer their question at all, he seemed to smile strangely. Until a while later, Altair and Abel were speechless at the food Ansel was referring to.

" Th-da... This was a food usually sought after by adventurers who went to the labyrinth. That is.... Roasted labyrinth frog!. " said Ansel with a gleeful expression on his face.

" Hiii~! " Abel and Altair put on a horrified face to see the food he was showing.

" You want us to eat frogs?? " ask Abel with an expression of disgust and horror at the same time.

While Ansel with a radiant face just nodded his head, "Your Majesty, do you know?? In the labyrinth that there are usually only monsters, the explorers who come there sometimes run out of food they can eat. Therefore they had to replace it with something else to keep the energy in the body. "obviously it was very clear, followed by a nod of the head of the shop owner who looked excited.

" but... Isn't the labyrinth frog poisonous?? Does it matter if it is eaten by humans?? " ask Altair hesitantly.

" If processed correctly, the poison from the labyrinth frog can actually turn into medicine, you know"." replied the store owner who made Altair surprised to hear it, he never heard of it from the book he read.

" I still don't want to eat it. It looked disgusting" Abel said firmly.

" Ah, come on, Your Majesty. It doesn't feel as bad as it looks. "persuade Ansel to the little Prince who looks annoyed at feeling cheated by him.

But Abel did not care at all, and only folded his hands in front of his chest. Then Altair's words distracted him.

" hm. It is not much different from chicken.. " Altair just ate it first.

" Really." said Ansel with pride.

And Abel was a little surprised by that and cried out to Altair, " Brother Altair, did you eat it?! "

" How else. I was curious about the taste." said Altair chimed in with a plain face.

While the little prince was silent stiff in his place after hearing the answer from Altair. But it soon dawns when Ansel also gives one to her.

" Come on, Your Majesty. Miss Altair just ate it, do you still doubt this?? " his words slightly teased Abel with an amused smile.

" Wouldn't!! " but Abel refused it.

" Come on, come on. " said Ansel anyway.

After a while with the insistence of the two, Abel who felt a little depressed with it also agreed.

" Good God, my God, all right! Give that to me! " Habel immediately grabbed the roasted frog in Ansel's hand in annoyance.

Meanwhile, Ansel and Altair looked very excited about it. It was as if they were a little boy getting his birthday present...

Abel was still staring at the roasted frog in his hand with a hesitant expression, on the other hand he saw that the two people were hoping he would eat it.

" Come on, I can, for sure. I won't lose just something like this... This frog was truly a laughable look. "the inner little prince was still unsure whether he should eat the roasted frog or not.

Long enough, the Little Prince gathered his determination to eat the roasted frog, in order to defeat his disgust, and so that Ansel did not continue to urge him to do what he did not want, The little prince actually ate it with great force...

But after her, she realized what Altair and Ansel meant.. " Mm. I guess... Not too bad, " said Abel, taking his eyes off in shame.

While Altair and Ansel were just laughing amusedly at the timid face of the Little Prince..

After that, they continued their walk. There is a lot to see, and a lot of people fill the city. In the middle of the streets, Altair's attention was diverted to something in a jewel shop.

" Wah... Wonderfully. The jewel in the brooch was similar to the eyes of His Holiness Theodore. "the inner Altair when looking at him.

Whereas Ansel and the little Prince who saw her were very interested in the store just silently looked at her on the other side.

" He looked at the jewel, yes" Abel murmured as he watched it closely.

" He looked at her, "Ansel answered spontaneously.

" Hey, do you think he wants that?? Should we buy it for him?? " ask Abel to Ansel.

" Oh, very good idea, Your Majesty. But. instead we ask first to Miss Altair-. "Ansel's remark was suddenly cut off before it was resolved.

" Mister Ansel, Prince Abel. Please wait a minute, I'll buy something first.. " Altair cut Ansel's words first and went straight into the jewel shop.

Ansel and Abel who were left outside and had not finished discussing just fell silent in their place while looking at Altair who entered the store without saying anything. Until a while later, Altair came back out with a box in his hand. And that's what immediately awakened the two...

" Huh! Brother Altair, did you just buy that jewel in the shop?? " ask Abel.

" Yes" replied Altair casually.

" the money... Do you have the money to pay for it?? " asked Ansel a little nervously.

" yes.. " And Altair answered him, tilting his head in confusion. " My real mother left me quite a lot of money, so there is no need to worry" he continued because he thought both could be confused where the money came from.

While Ansel and the little Prince let out a faint sigh hearing that, not out of relief knowing Altair had his own money to buy it. But because they lost the chance to buy him the jewels he wanted.

" Well, there will be at least another time" murmured Ansel.

" You were right" and Abel also said.

While Altair who also heard their murmur did not understand with the second intention...
