Kingdom Bloodline

Chapter 459 Extra Chapter Six: Mindis's Morning (Part 2)
Kai entered the elegantly decorated room and, as expected, found the room's owner behind a desk piled high with countless papers and documents.

The man, dressed in understated yet appropriate attire, sat quietly, gently, and peacefully behind his desk, silently reading his book amidst the rustling of pages turning and writing.

Kai darted over to the large desk, found a gap on it, and sat down in an extremely ungraceful manner, throwing his buttocks back.

He blinked and chuckled as he watched the room's owner sigh, put down his pen, glance at him, shake his head helplessly, and then return to his books.

Kai raised an eyebrow in response.

Here, he has nothing to worry about.

Here, he doesn't have to worry.

Because of the person sitting there...

He was his kindest and most amiable elder brother, Wang.

Kai turned his head and was surprised to find a bottle of wine and several glasses on the side of the desk piled high with documents. It looked to be a famous wine from the Duchy of Sera.

“I remember you don’t like drinking.”

Kai grabbed the bottle of wine without any hesitation and asked the question directly.

There was no need for small talk, greetings, or meaningless pleasantries between them.

Because from a very long time ago, this has been his refuge, his haven, his shelter.

His last and true "home" was in Yongxing City.

This was especially true after my mother passed away.

“But Horace and Hyman liked it,” the eldest brother said without looking up, but his voice was as pleasant as ever. Though not as melodious as Hyman's, it possessed a unique gentle power that subtly calmed the restlessness and brought tranquility.
"the same as you."

Kai grabbed the bottle, filled a glass, and shrugged.

"Well then... thank you for the hospitality."

Wang Changxiong snorted, closed the few pages in his hand, and instead unfolded another scroll.

Kai took a sip of his drink, and while criticizing his brother's drinking taste, he also reacted to two other names:

"So is today some special holiday? Is it a prison break?"

Kai walked to the window and glanced out, but didn't see the two despicable figures who were in cahoots with each other. They had probably already left.

"Muscular men, sissies, fatsoes... What, now that the old stubborn man is gone, all the weird and wonderful creatures in the capital have come here to see you?"

Wang Changxiong chuckled.

His laughter resonated in the air, gentle yet highly infectious.
"Don't be so harsh on yourself."

Kai understood the sarcasm in his brother's words a second later, and scratched his head in realization:
"Oh."

If Hyman or Horace had mocked him like that, Kay would have certainly retorted without hesitation.

But these were the words of Wang Changxiong, so it was just a little joke.

They are different.

They are different too.

"What do they want with you?" Kai raised his eyebrows.

The older brother scribbled something on the paper and turned to the next page: "I'm looking for them."

“You know, when Father goes on tour, government affairs are reported directly to me.”

Kai suddenly realized:
"Oh, no wonder Horace looks so sour, damn it."

He said this, but he was actually very happy inside.

But Kai immediately realized he had sworn.

He quickly covered his mouth and mouthed apologetically to his elder brother Wang:

Sorry, my bad.

As always, the elder brother remained calm, his gaze still fixed on the paper.

Wang Changxiong merely curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a slight smile.

Just like the expression on his older brother's face when Kai deliberately tore up his books when he was a child.

Gentle, peaceful, tolerant, and bright.

Kai sometimes thought that perhaps, no matter how much trouble he caused, no matter how much trouble he got into, even if he one day killed King Exter, his elder brother would probably just shake his head gently, smile faintly, and then tell him:
Don't be afraid, I'm here for you. Go have fun.

And my older brother always has a way.

There is always one.

Thinking of this, Kai realized his wine glass was empty. While refilling it, he glanced at the scroll in his brother's hand, which looked like a letter from a nobleman from out of town.

"what is that?"

He knew those were matters of national importance, but his brother didn't seem to care.

Wang Changxiong rubbed his furrowed brow and put down the scroll: "The land tax dispute between Fenghuibao and Maolin."

Kai blinked: "Is it serious?"

"This involves a conflict between the traditional practices of Blade's Edge Territory and the Shokader Act of the Wise King era. I plan to have Bank mediate next quarter. On the surface, it's about the unequal taxation between the old and new nobles, but in reality..."

As he spoke, Wang Changxiong suddenly raised his head, revealing a gentle face. His brows were soft and serene, making one feel instantly at ease, and his eyes were peaceful, seemingly never to dim.

"Why, are you interested?"

Kai raised his hands in surrender, shaking his head violently like a rattle drum:
"Anyway, I don't understand any of this—unless there's something relevant to me?"

Sometimes he felt very lucky, that he would never have to deal with these headaches of government affairs, and that he had an all-powerful elder brother, Wang, to protect him from all harm.

Even more fortunately, the eldest brother is the crown prince, the heir, and the future master of Xingchen.

Imagine if someone else had inherited the throne—a madman like Horace or a good-for-nothing like Hyman—Sunset, Kay swears, he would rather rebel and be disgraced than see that happen.

Well, maybe Uncle John is an exception.

“Hmm, I think so,” the eldest brother Wang said, frowning as if he were thinking seriously, a worried expression on his face.

“In the next five years, the young ladies from Wind Return Fort will be even more eager to get married than before.”

In an instant, Kai's expression changed drastically:

"My God, it seems the problem is really serious."

Looking at his appearance, Wang Changxiong couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

In that instant, the elder brother's lips curved into a beautiful arc, his eyes brimming with laughter, as if they contained the optimism of the entire world.

Kai thought that Hyman was called a "beauty" and drove people crazy because his elder brother Wang disdained to compete with her.

Because when Wang Changxiong smiles, he's more handsome than anyone else, more gentle than anyone else, brighter than anyone else, more...

More attractive.

Kai laughed naturally, the kind of silly laugh that he would look down on if he laughed in public.

Only here would he smile like that.

Wang Changxiong put down his work and picked up the flower tea beside him.

"I remember you were still under house arrest and reflecting on your actions?"

Kai immediately tensed up.

He hated being confined, yes, but he hated old fogies and the people who issued the confinement orders even more. So during this time, if anyone asked about the confinement, no matter how unhappy Kay was, he had to act like he didn't care and was being rebellious.

But Brother Wang...

In front of Brother Wang...

Kai, who is usually quick-witted and argumentative, was unusually stuttering:
"Uh, yes, yes, actually, I came here today to talk about this. Well, although it was only one night, I feel, well, that my self-reflection has yielded profound, beneficial, and fruitful results..."

Oh no, I seem to have completely forgotten the script I prepared last night.

I should have known better than to flirt with that maid last night; it made me lose all my time for memorizing my lines.

Kai felt the slight pain in his little brother.

But Kai didn't need to say anything more, because Wang Changxiong gave him a knowing look and glanced at him with a half-smile.

This immediately silenced Kai.

Wang Changxiong chuckled.

Horace's sneer was a sign that he was in a bad mood and about to start cursing; Hyman's sneer carried a condescending disdain; and Bank's sneer had an annoyingly stupid quality.

But this action appeared clear and natural on Wang Changxiong, without the slightest unpleasantness.

So Kai had no choice but to shut up and surrender.

Sure enough, the eldest brother Wang crossed his fingers and said seriously:
"So you need to explain to me the truth about why your father grounded you?"

Kai was about to explain when he heard his brother add:
"I mean... besides undressing and 'discussing poetry' with beautiful ladies?"

Brother Wang spoke with a very serious expression, but his left eyebrow twitched slightly.

Good heavens!

Hearing his brother's teasing gaze, Kai felt like he was going crazy.

He really wanted to crawl into a hole!
Very good!
He was screaming wildly in his mind...

Is there anyone in the entire world of Errol, in some remote, impoverished corner, who doesn't know this secret?

He then asked, "Who else?"
Who else!
come out!

Come out...

Let me tell you!

Just as Kai was immersed in his own "little world of self-esteem," a sudden commotion outside the window caught their attention.

A scream rang out, seemingly from a maid:
"Your Highness, Your Highness! Please wait a moment!"

Kai was startled!
Embarrassed, he immediately seized the opportunity to change the subject, rushing to the window and pointing exaggeratedly outside:

"No way, you brought Connie out of the palace?"

Brother Wang shrugged, clearly understanding his purpose, but didn't say anything more.

Kessel stuck his head out of the window and saw a girl dressed in strange clothes, as if she were wrapped in two pieces of cardboard, running happily on the roof of the side building of the Mindis Hall.

She nimbly weaved through pairs of arms trying to stop her, completely ignoring the ashen faces of the servants and guards behind her.

The girl was probably only eleven or twelve years old. She had delicate features and long, flowing hair. She was barefoot, covered in dust, and exuded joy and madness, which contrasted sharply with the despair and fear of the others.

"Don't worry, this is the latest version I improved based on the classic texts, 'Connie's Wing Six.' There won't be any problems. Just watch how I fly against the wind and against the light—"

The girl moved nimbly, shouting triumphantly. Her cheerful voice was high-pitched and could be heard clearly throughout the entire Mindis Hall, from the manor to the courtyard.

She also attracted more and more guards, many of whom were panicked and did not know anything about the girl.

The girl ran wildly, flapping two pieces of cardboard, getting closer and closer to the edge of the roof.

"Your Highness, please don't!"

Amid the maid's heart-wrenching screams and the guards' incredulous cries, the girl leaped towards the sun and jumped off the roof!
"Ahhh!"

She shouted excitedly, flapping her arms, her long hair flowing and her skirt fluttering slightly:

"I'm going to fly!"

The next second, the girl traced a beautiful parabola in the air, and then went straight down...

It fell.

It fell into a grove of trees.

After a series of rustling sounds from the branches, Kai, who had been watching in stunned silence, finally heard the terrifying muffled thud:

Boom!
Kai shuddered violently, pulled his head back, and his facial features scrunched up.

It looks like...

It hurts.

The maid's hysterical screams echoed once again through the Mindis Hall:

"Ahhh, someone come quick!"

"Your Highness, Your Highness has fallen again!"

Then another large group of people rushed downstairs in a noisy, bustling manner.

The footsteps were quite impressive, comparable to a drum band.

Having witnessed all of this, a still-shaken Kai struggled to pull his head back from the window, managing to force a forced, awkward smile:

"Are you really not going to do anything about it?"

At some point, the eldest brother Wang resumed his usual demeanor, calmly and unhurriedly flipping through a page of official documents, and uttered a soft "hmm."
"What do you mean, 'manage'?"

Kai pointed down to the window, a grimace on his face. He saw Morian and Rogo rushing to the scene.

"Hmm, about 'how to stop our troublemaking little sister from destroying Mindis Hall'?"

Wang Changxiong chuckled, revealing the look in his eyes that he had given when Wang Changxiong was a child and Wang Changxiong had played a prank on him.

"Don't be afraid."

“Ada will take good care of her.”

Don't be afraid.

Upon hearing this, Kai was momentarily dazed, feeling a pang of nostalgia for the past.

But... what did my brother say?
Ada?

Just now.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch—get out of my way, all of you!"

As if to confirm his brother's words, another short, slender figure leaped out of the window in a dramatic outburst, accompanied by a heart-wrenching, earth-shattering cry:

"No, no, no, no! Connie, Connie, please don't let anything happen to you!"

Boom!
Another muffled thud, and several guards were sent flying, including Morian.

Kai's cheek twitched again.

"Little Connie, sweet Connie, wake up, wake up! Okay, if you wake up, I'll never call you bad Connie again!"

That terrifying voice, which the brothers had heard since childhood, and supposedly the old stubborn man had also heard since childhood, and whose father and grandfather had also heard since childhood, carried a tragic and heroic quality, and as always, loudly and brazenly resounded through the sky:
"Don't die! I just went to the kitchen to get a chicken leg and came back, how could you... Waaaaah... I'm so sorry... If you're still alive, please wake up, please wake up..."

Kai leaned against the window, watching the cloaked figure below violently shaking something, and his lips began to twitch unconsciously.

The royal guards and maids around them rushed forward in alarm, but the cloaked figure threw them out one by one.

"Ah!"

A few seconds later, a girl's unique, soft, and sweet voice cried out in surprise, which then gradually grew louder:
"Cough cough, Ada, you seem to be... pinning me down... Ah!"

Her voice sounded particularly aggrieved.

The royal guards around them seemed to have been scalded by boiling water, and they all turned around and returned to their posts as if nothing had happened.

Kai sighed.

Sure enough, that loud, terrifying voice that had been crying just a second ago rang out, carrying an unexpected sense of surprise:

"Waaah, eh—?"

"Ahhh, that's amazing! Connie, you're alive! Waaah, you're lying..."

The girl's soft voice sounded weak and listless.

"I'm serious, the book says this will cause stunted growth..."

Kai glanced at the scene outside the window, then at his brother who remained calm behind the desk, and rubbed his forehead helplessly.

Yes, that's true. Ada came along too, so she'll definitely take good care of Constance...

Yeah, right!
Kai screamed silently in his heart.

He suspected that half of the little sister's "abnormal activity" was caused by that unreliable cloaked dwarf!
Kai reluctantly left the window and walked back, picking up his wine glass again.

But that terrifying voice—Ada—screamed again:
"Waaaaah, Connie, I'll never leave you again! By the way, do you want a chicken leg? It's hot, here, open your mouth! I'll tell you a little secret I just overheard, but don't tell anyone..."

“That… Ada…”

"Hey, do you know why your little brother was grounded? It's because he slept in bed with thirty naked women..."

puff!
Kai spat out a mouthful of wine onto the carpet and coughed violently.

I'm so damn angry!
I shouldn't have come today!

Kai quickly pulled down the window, shutting out Ada's deafening voice.

He and his elder brother looked at each other in bewilderment.

My heart is filled with a thousand lines of tears.

After a long silence, the eldest brother finally let out a breath, breaking the silence.

“You know Connie.”

As if he hadn't noticed Kai's disheveled state, the eldest brother sighed to himself:

"She was lonely, isolated, and longed for attention and recognition."

Kai, who was coughing incessantly and immersed in "Kaiser's self-respectless little world," was taken aback by what he heard.

He looked up and met his elder brother's gaze.

At this moment, Wang Changxiong's eyes were different from usual; they held not only gentleness, not only tolerance, but also reassurance.

It also carries something else.

The elder brother said quietly, "That's why she's so eager to do something."

"And we all understand that feeling."

“We should understand.” Kai remained silent.

He opened his mouth as if to say something.

But his brother's eyes were fixed on him.

As if seeing through everything.

So Kai lowered his head.

After a while, the noise outside the window finally stopped, and Kai caught his breath and let out a long sigh.

“Thanks to that old stubborn man,” he snorted, crossing his arms, his tone deliberately venomous.

"For more than a decade, it's been as if he didn't have this daughter."

Wang Changxiong remained silent for a while.

"Don't blame our father."

After a long pause, the usually gentle elder brother uttered these words.

This is unusual.

Normally, Kai wouldn't argue with him, because what Brother Wang said was generally true, and even if it was wrong, it was wrong in a reasonable way.

But today, especially after being looked at with that strange gaze, Kai suddenly felt a lump in his throat, and he had to speak out.

"Father?"

With his back to his brother, he retorted sarcastically, "What kind of father would hate his own child?"

Brother Wang nodded in agreement.

This time, his words were more serious, tinged with an unusual sigh:
That's not hatred.

“My father was too devastated by my mother’s passing… You know, when he sees Constance, he is reminded of my mother and her unbearable suffering at the end of her life.”

Kai's expression darkened.

Mother……

Is that right?

The elder brother sighed:

"His deep love for his mother turned into torment and burden when he faced Connie."

"The deeper the love, the heavier the torment and burden."

“Father kept his distance from Constance for her own good… because he was afraid that if he thought of his beloved, he would become someone he wouldn’t even recognize.”

When he said the last few words, even his elder brother seemed to be lost in thought.

Kai gritted his teeth, scoffed, and shook his head:

"like?"

"Hmph, nothing could be more absurd—he knows perfectly well that if Mother saw him treating Connie like this, she would fight him to the death."

Just as she protected us, she protected all her other children.

Wang Changxiong did not answer immediately; the room was completely silent, without even the sound of turning pages or writing.

“Yes,” Kai heard his elder brother say slowly.
"She will."

Kai suddenly realized that it wasn't just Connie; what would his mother think if she saw her beloved sons had also come to this point, hating and distrusting each other?

Kai felt a tightness in his chest every time he thought about this.

Wang Changxiong sighed deeply, then resumed his gentle and kind tone:
"Therefore, the responsibility of caring for the younger sister can only be borne by her brothers for the time being."

Wang Changxiong patted the back of his neck, seemingly trying to relax his muscles and bones.

Kai patted his head, pulling himself out of his abnormal state.

Hmm, I forgot about those naked women...

forget it……

forget it……

"By the way, I found you a job."

Wang's words startled Kai, and he immediately forgot about the naked woman.

He turned around abruptly, his expression incredibly interesting:
"Work?"

Kai almost thought he had misheard.

But the older brother simply nodded kindly.

"After all, your father instructed before he left that whatever form it takes, what you need is 'reflection'—you don't want him to be furious when he comes back, right? Or do you really want to be 'confined'?"

Kai's brow twitched.

Was it the old stubborn man who confessed?

Is that sentence in the original quote?

"Should I tell that trash to behave himself or "Tell him to get out of my sight"?
What a joke!
As a prince of the stars, do I still need to work?
Okay, Horace leads a bunch of ordinary soldiers, Bank is an honorary director of the National Research Society, and even Hyman holds the title of royal envoy...

Counting them up, he really is the only one who is somewhat... um...

Thinking of this, Kai's expression immediately changed, and he said in a serious tone:
“Oh, work! You know, I've been thinking about that too…”

Kai scratched his forehead in anguish, searching for an excuse:

“Actually, I’m planning to leave town for Starlake Castle in a few days. John told me he needs help there…”

But Wang Changxiong simply shook his head gently, a hint of nostalgia in his expression.

"It has come to the anniversary of John's death."

With just one sentence, Kai's excuse was choked in his throat.

"Now is not a good time to disturb our Uncle Wang."

The fifth prince was silent for a few seconds.

Finally, Kai scratched his head in frustration, looked innocently at his brother, and looked aggrieved:
"Wait, are you serious? You're not going to let me get away with this, are you?"

My elder brother smiled, his smile as gentle and kind as ever, making it impossible for anyone to harbor any rebellious thoughts.

"Don't worry, the job I found for you is in Yongxing City," Wang Changxiong said, precisely pulling a stack of papers from a mountain of documents and tossing it to him from a distance.

"West City Police Department, go and help maintain order in the West Ring District, Lower City District, and West City Gate."

"Either this or a stay-at-home order, choose one."

Kai slapped himself on the forehead.

Hmm, there's no hole, at least he didn't touch it.

but……

Kai rubbed his face in pain, drooping down like a wronged puppy.

Oh no, he gets annoyed whenever he hears the word "guardian" or anything like that.

But his gaze quickly sharpened:
"Wait, the West Ring District?"

Isn't that... the district where Hongfang Street is located?
A glint of light flashed in Kai's eyes!
Wang Changxiong nodded, amusement in his eyes, and sincerity in his gaze.

"Don't worry, it's a bustling, lovely, beautiful and colorful place. Going there to work and 'reflect' is considered obeying the king's order, so at least you won't be truly confined."

of course!

Kai's expression changed instantly, becoming serious and focused, just like when he looked at the girl's skirt:
“Yes, that’s right, you’re right… cough cough, I don’t like being confined, but this is also an opportunity for me, as a guard or other civil servant, to properly inspect and understand our city, and serve the kingdom…”

Especially Hongfang Street.

Brother Wang smiled again, a very gentle smile.

This made him feel very at ease.

Kai pretended to be seriously reviewing the documents in his hand, thinking about how to first confirm that Hongfang Street was within the scope of his work, and then change his attitude without losing face and with a high degree of certainty, so as to get this lucrative position.

“I informed one of the guards’ staff there; she happens to need an assistant,” the elder brother said softly.

"She also promised me that she would take good care of you."

Kai, preoccupied with thoughts of Red Street, nodded absentmindedly.

"Yes, that's very thoughtful..."

Guard, staff member, assistant, accomplice, look after...

and many more.

A flash of inspiration struck Kai!
He simply ignored the other words that bothered him, leaving only the more important parts.

"she?"

Kai suddenly looked up, his eyes lighting up:
You mean a lady?

Wang Changxiong nodded gently and smiled.

"To be precise, it's a young lady—she's not married yet, and her family doesn't really have much control over her." Wang Changxiong tapped the table with his fingers, his expression complex, with a hint of something Kai couldn't understand—it didn't matter, anyway, aside from eating, drinking, and having fun, Wang Changxiong generally didn't understand much about what he knew.

His elder brother would never harm him.

the most important is……

Miss...Miss!
It's okay, it doesn't matter if we get married!
Kai really wanted to say that.

But he wanted to maintain his composure.

Ahem, yes, reserved.

Kai suppressed his surging emotions and told himself that he couldn't be too obvious or unsightly in his eating manners, after all, Brother Wang was a respectable person.

Therefore, we must proceed step by step...

"Isn't it beautiful? Isn't it beautiful? Isn't it beautiful?" Kai's eyes sparkled.

Wang Changxiong smiled again.

His elder brother rested his chin on his hand, recalled something with great seriousness, frowned slightly, and then nodded gently:
"very beautiful."

In that instant, Kai's eyes almost radiated the light of faith.

My brother is a man of integrity and has never lied to me.

Yes!

Wang Changxiong, with a crooked smile, continued to chuckle and added to his weight:
"Also, she is intelligent and understanding."

Oh my God.

awesome!
Your Highness, my handsome and great Crown Prince, you are truly my brother!

If it weren't for the table separating us, I would love to kiss you!
Kai's resistance and annoyance from just a minute ago seemed to vanish, and he felt as if he were immersed in the most wonderful hot spring.

"When do we start work? Can we go now?" he asked, blinking his bright eyes.
Wang Changxiong laughed again, his laughter becoming even more endearing.

He tore off a page of sticky note and wrote down an address and a name:
"West City Guard Bureau, go directly to Guard Officer Ginny Barkley—don't bring any attendants."

Of course, of course.

Kai was nodding like an avalanche, nodding nods.

How could such a good thing be allowed to benefit that boor Val and that fool Kana?

"By the way."

As Wang Changxiong wrote, a sense of nostalgia crept into his voice:
"That young lady is exceptionally charming."

"Don't accidentally fall in love with her... you'll suffer."

Hey.

Falling in love with her?
Kai eagerly took the note, and with a practiced twirl, spun around in place, facing Midil.

You're overthinking it. Someone as experienced as me, who's been through countless romantic encounters...

Kai flashed a confident smile, pointing a finger at Midil as he backed out of the room.

"You know I won't."

Wang Changxiong still wore that reassuring smile, waving his hand with a wry smile:
Go quickly.

Kai disappeared.

But a few seconds later, his hand reappeared by the door.

"Hey, Midil."

Kai, who had returned, stood outside the door, peering out and clinging to the doorframe, prompting his elder brother, who was engrossed in his work, to look up again.

"Ok?"

Kai gently patted the door frame and hesitated before saying:

"Thank you."

Midil, sitting at his desk, raised his eyebrows, feigning helplessness, and shrugged.

"Ha, well, it's Father's order..."

But Kai shook his head.

"No, I mean..."

Kai clung to the door frame, fidgeting, seemingly embarrassed.

"Thank you."

"for……"

But he finally took a deep breath, waved the note in his hand, and unconsciously pointed in all directions:
"Everything."

"Thank you."

thank you.

Brother.

Thank you for being tolerant of me when everyone else disliked me.

Be patient with me.

Take care of me.

Show me care.

Understand me.

Midil Shining Star.

thank you.

Thank you for becoming my brother at the moment I was born.

Forever.

After finishing speaking (though mostly in his mind), Kai lowered his head sheepishly and rubbed his nose awkwardly; he wasn't used to doing that.

Some even dared not look Midil in the eye.

It's not just because of fear...

It’s even more because…

But then Wang Changxiong smiled again.

This time, Midil smiled very lightly, almost imperceptibly, but her eyes held a clear emotion.

"Oh."

The Crown Prince of the Star Kingdom nodded, leaned back in his chair, and smiled contentedly.

"of course."

Kai smiled and pursed his lips.

He knew it would be the same as before.

The elder brother understood.

He made a face, knocked on the door frame, and disappeared from Midil's sight.

Watching his younger brother leave with a beaming smile, Midil, who had been hesitant to speak, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

"And also, let's stop discussing poetry!" the Crown Prince said in a gentle but firm voice.

The next second, the sound of a human body hitting wood came from the corridor outside the door, accompanied by Kai's painful scream.

Midil chuckled and shook his head.

In the distance, Connie and Ada's chatter could be heard faintly.

Young people.

The crown prince raised his head, looked at the vibrant, warm sunshine outside the window, and took a breath of fresh air.

Just like the morning in the Mindis Hall.

Beautiful, bright, and carefree.

like this.

Forever.

After enjoying the relaxing and wonderful morning, Midil snapped out of her reverie, sighed, and returned to reality.

He returned to his inescapable shackles.

I've been feeling really bad lately and lack the confidence to write the main story. I'll just finish the sixth side story I promised two years ago first.
