Chapter 3: The World outside the Castle

Early in the morning, on the day Celia returned to the Galarc Castle...

“Huff... Huff...”

Takahisa had sneaked out of his room in the castle. And before he knew it, he had slipped past the guards and was climbing the castle’s outer wall.

“Hah, huff, hah...”

Soon, he was over the wall. He was sweating along his brow as he ran frantically through the noble district.

“Hah, hah, hah, huff, huff...”

Even though his Divine Arms was supposed to have been activated, the heaviness in his feet felt as if he were dragging an iron ball. The beating in his chest was only getting faster. He couldn’t breathe properly.

“Hah... Hah...”

He recklessly ran up the ten-meter stone wall around the noble district like a wild beast. At the top of the wall, he looked down across the commoner town.

It was pitch-dark, making it difficult to see the ground. He wasn’t the best with heights, but he grabbed at the parts of the wall that stuck out and descended. Eventually, his feet reached the ground, and he began running away from the castle once again.

The key points of the noble district were illuminated by lights, but the commoner town was dark with very few lights. He continued down the road by relying on the moonlight, walking for two or three minutes before coming to a stop. He gazed at the Galarc Castle in the distance, illuminated by the moon.

You’re the worst, Takahisa.

Miharu’s angry face flashed through his mind. It was the first time he had seen her get so angry, much less slap him across the face.

I don’t like you, Takahisa. I hate you. I won’t be with you. I don’t want to be near you. Don’t show your face in front of me ever again.

Miharu had rejected him with those words. She had told him to return to Centostella and never go near her again. She was clearly furious with him.

No, it wasn’t only Miharu. Lilianna, Aki, Masato, and Satsuki... Everyone had rejected him. As proof of that, not a single person had allowed him to remain in the Galarc Kingdom. There hadn’t been a single person on Takahisa’s side.

The only choice he had left was to wait until morning to board the enchanted airship back to the Centostella Kingdom. However...

“I don’t want to...” Takahisa shook his head in fear, backing farther away from the castle.

No. I don’t want to. I don’t want to go back to Centostella!

He wanted to stay in the Galarc Castle. But no one would allow that. In another two or three hours, the day would break and he would have been forcefully sent back. Unable to accept that option, Takahisa had slipped out of the castle before he knew it.

He was contradicting himself. He wanted to stay in the Galarc Castle, yet he’d run from the Galarc Castle of his own accord.

“Hah... Huff, huff, hah... Hah...”

His calming breath quickened once more as the throbbing in his heart came back with a vengeance. Hours had passed since Miharu slapped him, yet his left cheek still felt like it was stinging with pain.
