Umi to Kaze no Oukoku v1c2

By the time he’s 3 year old, he already able to talk little by little and reach to the point it can be perfectly understandable, it seem my arrogant father, Aslan is the king of southeast islands United Kingdom.

…that mean,i am a prince?…

Shou hate thing like responsibility and relieved when he learned that he is the sixth prince

…if it’s the sixth prince, thing like king is not my concerned..

At the age of 4, Shou shocked when he learn that the Miya who is the owner of beautiful black hair he is always play with is not his mother’s

“Shou-sama,your little brother finally born”

Father have many wives insider the inner palace and because of that it’s normal to hear that a new prince or princess is born, on the other side,Shou doesn’t really care about it

“who gave birth?”

Well,i have heard about it but in case let’s ask Miya to look into it
Since Miya especially said this to him, Shou think maybe he should known this information

Not only the inner palace but Miya also the one who manage the king’s a.s.set and that’s why she always busy.

….in my previous time too, my parent is too busy with their work…

He recall that only when he go to doctor his parent is with him and the rest is always with the maid.

“Shou’s mother, Ruby-sama is the wife of Ras.h.i.+ndo sama and already gave birth to a son for him”

“Ruby is my mother name?”

…..Then,Miya is not my mother huh?…

For some reason i get the feel like that, but yeah it’s quite shocking when i heard about it

…..Even if Miya is not my mother, i still lover her….but i wonder where is my mother?

Questioned by Shou, Miya quickly tried to answer him.

“When you are bigger, let’s go to Ras.h.i.+ndo-sama to see your little brother and mother”

…..It seem mother lives with this Ras.h.i.+ndo guy..

Shou think maybe because of the state of inner palace which makes woman come one after another, and before she know it, her existence is become forgotten
I misunderstood that because she rarely meet father, mother is driven out

Since i want to know more about my mother, i question many woman around me which they say as far as they can remember that mother is a beautiful woman and the daughter of a chief from small island.

I though since she doesn’t lives in the inner palace that she doesn’t have any value for the king.

there is a lot of concubine who lives inside the inner palace, of course they have beautiful face, since many of them quite smart but it seem they worked hard to support the family back home. I pity mother, to have tearfully apart from me, and have to go to this Ras.h.i.+ndo guy and married him so she can help her father

“Shou-sama, let’s go to the sea”

I’m worried about my mother condition, but the court lady invited me to go swimming in the sea. It’s enjoyable to see the court lady playing on sea, since i was invited, there is no reason for me to refuse.

This place is called [Famini] island which located in the hill overlooking the capital city [Leyte] which in the back of Royal Palace and an island that face the sea. Shou and the Court lady from the inner palace likes to swim here

While playing in the sea, I saw a shadow of a person who made a dive from a cliff to the sea.

“is that the first Prince?”

The court lady who see the shadow trying to guess who is that, but Shou on the other hand quite tired with the existence of Perfect elder brother

….even in this world, there is a perfect older brother huh?…

There were two bright older brothers out of three son in his previous life, The elder brother who became a doctor continuing the family heritage is a.s.suming that my dream to became a beautician is stupid

….Since this time i have 5 elder brother, i’m quite lucky…
even if you make mistake, the king will always forgive me

The first prince i think he is 13 years old, second prince 12 year old and the next is 10, 9, 8 if I’m not wrong. Shou think about the shadow while playing with the water

“Spending time like this with Shou-sama is nearly end huh”

“Please don’t forget about us”

I was embraced by the beautiful court ladies, i don’t understand this.

“Why you say such a thing?”

While looking at the cute Shou who looking at them with such an eyes, the court lady feel a bit of “kyun” in their chest while trying to explain to him

“Because Shou-sama is a boy, it’s a prince duty to live inside the royal villa when one reach the age of 5. If you are a girl, there is no need for that”

“In there, you will study with the other prince and to take military lesson. I’m sure you will enjoy it”

……eh~~,even thought i finally surrounded by beautiful woman…

While sometime the elder brother is back to show their progress and play with Shou, but as expected he prefer to play with the beautiful woman.

Miya notice that somehow Shou doesn’t feel too energetic.

“Are you tired playing in the beach?”

Shou asked Miya whether what the court lady said is true or not while cling on her and play with her hair.

“Miya, will i go to the royal villa like the other prince?”

After Ruby left Shou and married, Miya is always with him and it’s difficult to think that they will be separated. However, In the southeast islands, Because a boy is consider worthless if he doesn’t become economically independent, tt is general to receive the education from five years old

“Yes, you will go to the royal villa to study with your elder brother. Oh yeah, you can also meet your mother, since it’s not like the inner palace, you can go out to town”

I want to meet mother, but it’s painful to think i will be parting with Miya.

“Can i met Miya?”

Feeling her chest tightening, Miya is look at Shou.

“Yes, of course you can. To educate the prince is also my job”

“Then, it’s okay”

Though Miya felt insecurity a little because whether she has spoiling him too much, she held him in her arm and pat at his head.
