HIROMI

Chapter 14

While the first prince and Princess Fumiko walked inside the palace, Hiromi's words did not disappear from the First Prince's mind.

"Is she the star of the game? What does she mean?” his thoughts.

Hiromi also flashbacks to the first prince, telling him she entered this world and needed to find a way out. The actions and words of Hiromi confound Prince Haru. He had no idea what she was saying.

"What's bothering you, Your Highness?" asked Princess Fumiko.

“I still have something to do, Your Highness. Go first!” He left immediately and left the princess.

Princess Fumiko calls Prince Haru, but he ignores her.

Prince Haru went straight to Hiromi after that. She was eventually located by him, walking down the hallway with Hanzo after much searching. The Second Prince noticed him as he pursued her.

He took a peek at the person the First Prince was pursuing. He observed that Hiromi and Hanzo were in the first prince's line of sight.

The second prince inquired, "Prince Haru, are you following Hiromi?"

First Prince Haru looked at the Second Prince Hayate when he asked him a question. The first prince excused himself that he wanted to know what Hiromi's next step would be regarding the theft of the scrolls and the attack on the palace, especially now that Hiromi and Hanzo were assigned to investigate it.

The second prince was stunned by the depth of his thoughts.

"You're the new one assigned to the event in writing and painting?" said the second Prince Hayate.

First Prince Haru responded immediately, "Get well first because being stressed about things isn't helping you. Take care of yourself."

The second prince sighed in response to his brother's words.

"I am not ill. Who told you I was stressed? State that you will be the future crown prince, and all eyes will be on you. In short, you smell nice in their eyes but stink when the time comes!”

As if disagreeing with what his brother had stated, Prince Haru approached him.

"Keep this in mind. I was hoping you could treat me with respect. I'm still older than you. Also, watch your language because I can send you to the furthest location that the Oshiro people cannot see in a flash! ”

Second Prince Hayate is enraged with the First Prince on the inside. The kind he wishes to harm but is powerless to do so. He is pretty insecure because his brother is the only one who embodies the crown prince's ideal, which is the most fragrant of all.

There were many speculations that the First Prince had taken over as the event's coordinator because the second prince was ill. As he walks by, the Second Prince Hayate hears this.

Despite internally blushing with rage, he chose to ignore it. Additionally, he overheard the ministers discussing the Emperor's plan as he passed by Kaisho.

A minister reported, "The emperor indicated he would send the second prince somewhere far from here in Oshiro."

“Due to his weakness in battle, the second prince is likewise not contributing. Additionally weak, waiting around for what his mother and Emperor Guo will tell him to do,” a minister retorted.

All Second Prince Hayate wanted was for the Emperor to love him as much as he loved First Prince Haru, but he knew deep down that he was incapable, weak, and sometimes unable to control himself due to anxiety.

The second prince preferred to stay away from the palace, so he went to the sea. He disguised himself so he wouldn't be recognized.

Second Prince Hayate looked at the sea that he wanted to drown and die. He tried to submerge himself in water and closed his eyes.

Hiromi was walking dumbfounded when she noticed something, so she approached to find out who it was.

At this moment, someone suddenly pulled him to rescue him. The second prince spat out a lot of water when he got out.

"Young mistress, Hiromi?" he was shocked.

Hiromi asks the second prince why he is committing suicide. He stated that she should not interfere with the life of other people.

Hiromi stopped the second prince before he could leave. “Is this related to the upcoming poetry and painting event, Your Highness?”

The second prince did not respond and left Hiromi. When he came out of the sea, he was soaking wet. Hiromi felt that he was strange and that something was wrong with him.

While the second prince was leaving, he realized he needed to survive to continue his dream.

The second prince inwardly said, "I want to be the one who wins this fight."

As Hiromi looked at Second Prince Hayate, she thought that he might have gone through something that no one else could understand his situation. Hiromi realized that maybe he was entirely hurt because he knew that the emperor had decided to replace him because of his illness.

“Could he think that the emperor doesn't trust him? But in my mobile phone game "Battle of Oshiro," the second prince is not there. A lot has changed since I changed my destiny and life here," Hiromi said to herself.

Hiromi was on her way out of the beach when she stepped on something. She took a look at it. She took it from the sand out of curiosity.

When Hiromi saw it, she recognized it because it was the same one Hanzo's mother had given her.

A drenched kinchaku. Hiromi opened it right away to see what was inside. She was surprised to see a small bottle that she couldn't identify. It could be a medicine, according to Hiromi. Perhaps it's a vitamin added to beverages such as saké or food.

Hitomi couldn't figure out what it was. What is its purpose? That memory of her saving the second prince implies that it was possibly from him and fell.

Hiromi will keep it hidden because she may find out the answer in time.
