The Moonlight Princess In The Land of the Sun Day
Episode 11 Eternal Friends

“That means, to sum up your story, is it permissible to break the closed doors of other countries and arbitrarily sign unequal agreements to obtain the property inside? I'm a prince? I picked it up, but I didn't mean to rob it."

"I have no words to go back to."

"I don't have words to go back, I don't. Idiot."

　In the deepest part of the royal palace, in the most beautiful and sturdy room on the continent, the lion king Schwan-Helifarte listened to his son's report and sat on the throne and placed his hand on his forehead.

　It was almost middle-aged, but his body like Iwao did not diminish at all, and his meandering eyes were still filled with dignity that he was the king of the continent..

"First, why did you go to such a remote area as Aquila? I told you to take a vacation trip, but the countries you choose are all small countries away from Aquila. From the neighboring country," the prince still I was in a hurry to say, "Why don't you come?"

"Just because I travel to a country I personally choose, I don't need to visit it."

"Do you think it makes no sense not to go to the second largest neighbor on the continent, even though many countries have gone to the smallest country?"

"I'll say hello"

"One day, I know why you're just going far. I'm sure you'll get the time, because there" it's "in the neighboring country."

"……I agree with you"

"Ups, I got away. Let's go back to your foolishness against princess Aquila. I started the journey because I've seen you as an adult. Such reckless behavior ..."

"Oh, it's okay. It's romantic."

　Disturbing Schwan's sermon is a loose platinum blonde woman sitting on another throne. Unlike Schwan, who made a frown, he put his palms together in a pleasant manner and made a smile while smiling.

"Naughty... Ibis, you've always been sweet with Milan, so act this way."

"Oh, you haven't done much for me in the past."

"Eh"

　Schwan was pounding when he was hit by a painful spot. The gentle-hearted woman, named Ibis, was now queen, but her original status was one of Helifalte's servants.

　To meet the love of different statuses, young Schwan overcomes difficulties and difficulties and achieves his goals.

He further developed Helifalte and created the Milan track record called the Holy Prince.

Now no one stabs the king and the queen.

"Milan"

"What's wrong? Moms"

"You have a lot of problems when you're young, but you can handle them. Princess Serene is a child who has more problems than you, so take responsibility and make her happy."

"I know."

　When Ibis said so, Schwan, who was sitting next to her, shrugged his shoulders. That's a sign of surrender.

"I cannot defeat my wife, even if I am called the Lion King. This has been treated as a formal transaction between countries, and I wonder if I can go back now."

"Can you forgive me?"

"As I said before, I treat you as a man. You are responsible for any problems you have at your own discretion. That's all I can say."

"thank you!"

　With that said, Milan was then on father and mother, kneeling before the king and queen, the most powerful men in the country.

"Well, is this the end of that funny conversation? So what are you doing now with Milan and her beautiful daughter Selene?"

　Suddenly erasing his heavy demeanor, Schwan looked at Milan as if he was digging for the throne. His eyes were shining, and he looked like a little kid who wanted to see a cute kitten who came home early.

"Dad, relax. I just told you to solve my problem ..."

"I don't care about the public-private confusion, but it's the end of the public conversation. This is in my personal interest from now on. I want to see it in person."

"Well, I want to see Serene-chan is so cute. Hey, can you bring him here?"

　Milan smiled looking at the faces of the two men. Although they were kings, queens, and princes, they were a family before that.

"I'm sorry, but Selene's resting right now."

　I'll see you tomorrow, and when I try to reach him, the back door suddenly opens violently. When the three Milanese turned their eyes away, Marie stood alone. Maybe I run, I breathe on my shoulder.

"Marie's? What's up, in a hurry?"

"Selene...Selena..!"'s chat...!"

　Marie, in a panic, hugged him in Milan's chest.

　　◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

　Selene, who was sleeping in a daze, was actually carried in Milan's arms, hugging a princess. Marie, who was drowning, followed right behind Milan, who walked silently in the corridor.

"Why don't you call a waiter near here?"

"... i'm not patient"

　Marie muttered while looking down. Suddenly Selene collapsed, and what came to my mind when I was really upset was not the maid or the servant near me, but my sister whom I could rely on.

"I should have told you that Selene was tired so let her rest."

"I was thinking of playing so that I wouldn't get tired properly!"

　Playing outside would be bad, but listening to music indoors would be fine. Considering Marie, she took Selene out. However, it was a very bad choice for Selene.

　The heavy melody played by the palace musicians was the best entertainment that the citizens could not listen to without paying a lot of money. However, for Selene, who did not listen to music other than anime songs, it was just a sleep-inducing agent. Two people sat side by side in a chair in Marie's room, but Selene, who couldn't stand her sleep, eventually fell off the chair.

　As expected, Selene would wake up if she was hit on the hard floor, but the carpet, which was softer and softer than a half-baked bed, gently wrapped Selene's body. Selene, who only slept for ten hours due to her movements and lack of sleep, fell into a deep sleep without waking up.

　Marie, who was next to me, was dumbfounded. The girl, who was sitting quietly, fell to the ground without any warning. In addition, no matter how much you call or shake, there are no signs of waking up. Judging that it wasn't the only one, Marie rushed to the king's brother's room, crying half-heartedly.

"As a result, this child fainted from your selfishness. Why are you doing this?"

"Because everyone doesn't care about me. My father and mother were busy, my brother went for a walk, and I brought the girl so sweet and wondered if I wasn't there anymore. gates ......"

　Marie blurted out the words on Milan's back. She takes Selene out because she wants to play with the cute child of her generation, but more than that, she is more like a tribute to her brother and family.

"Do you remember Mia?"

"e?"

　After a short pause, Marie lost her voice as Milan's words were suddenly thrown.

　It was a name that would never be forgotten in Marie's short life.

"I remember. It was a pure white kitten that was very cute and had the same color as Selene."

"You've been messing around with that newborn kitten, 'cause it's funny.' You will remember what happened as a result."

"……Yes.Yes"

　Marie replied with a fading voice. Years ago, Marie found and brought back an abandoned kitten in a corner of the castle. Marie, who was good at being carried but not cared for, sent the kitten to Milan.

　The kitten was fine despite being abandoned, but one day when Milan went to see what happened, he was tired and sick. Marie, who restrained herself in the absence of her brother, was exhausted. Fortunately, he recovered quickly after being cared for by Milan again, but Milan took a kitten from Marie, who hated crying, and gave it to one of his cat-loving servants. However, Marie did not understand why she picked up such a story.

"This child was abandoned by his mother."

"uh!?"

　Milan only told Marie only part of Selene's secret. Marie was stunned to hear that sentence. The mother abandoned her child. It was something he could not think of when he grew up in the greenhouse.

"Eh, eh? Thats odd. Since his mother was his mother, didn't he leave her? Not likely. If that happens, I'll go crazy."

　Maybe Marie was confused, she said without arranging what she was thinking. Selene's head was crazy enough before she was abandoned, but it was something that no one else knew.

"This child is the same as Mia. I can't leave this child alone, just like you can't leave the kitten you left behind. I will not ignore you. I'm selfish. It's okay to say, but be nice to Selene."

　He brought Selene into the room and laid her on the bed, and Milan lightly stroked Marie's head and left without saying anything. Only two girls were left in a large room, but Marie refused to leave. As I carried the chair near me to the side of the bed, I said nothing and looked at the face of Selene, who continued to sleep.

　After a while, as the sky became redder, Selene woke up. This was the time when Selene was most active, and I napped so much that I was really sleepy.

"Selene! You're up!"

　As Selene opened her eyes, Marie hugged Selene's neck. It's a good situation, but Selene made her eyes black and white. I had never been hugged by the blonde Lori all of a sudden when I woke up, so I was more confused than Selene's excitement.

“You suddenly fainted, but it's okay!? Doesn't hurt!?”

"Heiki"

　With that said, Selene was finally able to understand the current situation. I remember being invited to listen to music, but I don't remember what happened. Maybe I'm definitely asleep. No matter how sleepy I was, it was too rough. Marie seemed to think of the silence as Selene's anger.

"You're angry.I'm sorry."

　Marie's usual bullish demeanor was like lying, slumping and squeezing her little hand in her lap.

"Oh, that, I .. I don't have any friends, so I don't know how to get along."

"Mr Maribel, do you have any friends?"

"Yes"

"Hime in Hime, what?"

“…………”

　When Selene mysteriously tilted her head, Marie looked at the floor, but after a while she opened her heavy mouth.

"I'm the greatest princess, but that's it. What was really great was my mom and dad. The strongest is my brother, I'm nothing."

"Mr Maribel, isn't that good?"

"My brother is amazing. He can exercise, he's smart, and he has a lot of magical powers. The first born child gets the most magical powers. That's why other kids play. Even if you give me, I tell you that I can't do it behind the scenes, I know."

　So Selene remembered the closed door where she was trapped. My sister Arue can open it by holding the door, but the door barely responds to her touch. If you believe in Marie's words, you may not have much magical power.

"So, if I wasn't a princess, no one would have dealt with me ..."

　Perhaps because Selene did not say anything, Marie regurgitated her emotions and gradually cried. Selene gently opened her mouth to Marie.

"I don't have any friends either."

"e......?"

　Now, the white girl in front of me said: "I have no friends."

　Not "no" but "no".

　Marie noticed it and opened her mouth in fear.

"Selene, aren't you angry? Maybe you think I'm a friend ...?"

"If Maribel forgives me"

　Selene smiled at Marie, who was about to cry. The beautiful way of laughing was not a reckoning like other noble daughters and daughters, but the joy of not lying was also understood by the young Marie.

　It's true that Selene said "I have no friends" in the past, but that's the old man's story. Selene had no friends. Or rather, there were still only rats. Even so, now I was asked by a pretty blonde girl Lori to be a friend, so I wondered if I could stay unhappy with this.

"Is this really me? I don't have anything?"

"became"

"No! I'm not smart, I'm not strong, and I don't have much magical power!"

"Well, Maribel-sama is Maribel-sama."

　The words that Selene slammed like nothing shook the bottom of Marie's heart.

"(This kid says the same thing as my dad!)"

　In the past, Marie once angered her father and mother, "Why do I have less magical power, and why do I not produce as good as my brother?" To Marie, who was crying and raging, my father and mother said:

“You don't think it makes sense to be born because you don't have the ability? That's not true. Marie, just because you're by your side as Marie, we can gain strength. That matters. By carrying something on your back, people hone themselves to give him happiness. That's worth. You may not know it now, but there are people who definitely need you other than us. Will appear.”

　I think it's a lie. As of now, the little girl was eager to see Marie with a cold gaze, except for the family who said that. Marie knew that there was something behind her that she called herself "the birth of the Holy Prince of Milan" compared to her over-excellent brother.

　That's why Marie acted arrogantly, calling herself "the princess inside the princess." If you do not insist, you will be crushed by the stigma of Inability. However, the mortal white girl in front of him said that even if she revealed her weakness, she still recognized herself as a friend.

　In reality, Selene simply thought, "It's worth it just because she's a pretty blonde girl." Selene is the type of person who chooses the former without hesitation when asked to support either the ruthless criminal Lori Bishoujo or the saint's parents.

"thank you. Quiet"

"Yes, Maribel-sama, because she's cute."

"Marie"

"e?"

"Marie's fine, because it's weird looking like a friend, right?"

　Marie smiled. The dark shadow until then had disappeared, and the eyes shone again.

"Selene, do you have a spell?"

"Isn't that magic?"

"Oh, that's right. I don't know Selene. Hey, can I get some hair?"

"Good, but"

　That said, Marie hunted down the shelves in Selene's room and pulled out something like small scissors to cut the thread. Marie wrapped behind Selene, who was half raised on the bed, and Marie combed Selene's hair by hand.

"Beautiful hair .. smooth, pure white, like silk. I wish I could stretch it more."

"Mendos"

　Marie laughed softly at the unadorned answer.

　One day when the weather was hot and humid in the summer, Selene once made a scene because of the habit of being a parent. Arue who came to see the state fainted when she saw her sister who suddenly became bald. Afterwards, Selene was shown to a doctor in the castle, misdiagnosed as seizure behavior due to extreme stress, and monitored for a while. After that, I compromised with a shortcut to the shoulder area.

"Then I'll get a little."

　Marie cut Selene's hair a little with scissors, then wrapped it up and deftly knit it into a ring.

"It's done! How good?"

"Good!"

　Selene clapped involuntarily. Marie knitted her clean white hair to make a small white ring. Serene's eyes were rounded when she was truly dexterous. Then, place the ring on the little finger of your right hand, and this time, cut off Marie's shiny golden hair and make the ring the same way.

"Selene, can you extend your right hand?"

"like this?"

　When Selene reached out her right hand, Marie put a ring of gold thread on her right little finger.

"what's this?"

"Girls make accessories using their own hair. By exchanging them, they could become eternal friends, which was magic passed down to Helifalte."

"Little boy, Eien, guys"

　Selene has unspeakable delusions, but of course, she is a friend in a pure sense.

"It seems like only a few kids actually do it. This is the first time I've done it to Serene. See you around. Let's play when you're okay!"

　With that said, Marie blinked her eyes and left the room. Selene looked from behind the energetic girl, as the gloomy atmosphere was no longer there.

"As far as I can see, he never looked incompetent."

"Butler, are you back?"

"It looks like it was brought in, so I just kept quiet. It is true that the Prince of Milan is by far the best, but there are times when you will see subtleties that men do not understand because they are women. I can't do something just because of superiority or inferiority of power.”

"Not just from power"

　Selene carved those words on her chest, as if she wanted to bite Butler's sentence. That's right, a simple power clash is not an enemy, but you might be able to defeat the prince by using various swords. Fighting is not just about power. Selene laughed out loud.

　Rather than that, it's better to hang out with Marie today. Selene decided to think tomorrow, and Selene stared at the pinky finger of her right hand forever with a non-toned laugh.
