A month later, Deel returned. Or rather, the man they’d known as Deel.

Upon meeting the entourage from the Ourenge Alliance, Deel collapsed with a terrible headache. When he awoke, his memories slowly began to return.

“I never would have guessed he was a prince...”

The truth had been quite a shock. From his clothing, Leyas and the others had surmised he was from a rather affluent family, but he was actually a prince from the Kingdom of Bluheitz. After graduating from the academy, he was sent to travel the world to broaden his knowledge, but he’d been shipwrecked along the way.

“I couldn’t bear leaving without saying thank you to the village that saved my life,” he said on his return, beautiful in his fancy, noble clothing. But to Leyas, he seemed so incredibly distant now.

Unable to stand this change in him, Leyas slipped out from the group that had gone to see him and ran away. Normally a child wouldn’t be allowed to see visitors from outside the village at all, but Leyas’s coming of age ceremony was only a month away, and she had already spent months living with him as family, so an exception had been made for her.

She’d hidden behind the others and eventually snuck away. Knowing if she headed back to the village someone would come to drag her back out, she instead headed to a spring deep in the forest.

“So he wasn’t a captive princess, but a prince...” Leyas gave a self-deprecating smile. “I can’t go find you now. You’re too far away...”

Seeing Deel in his bright and flashy clothes, smiling and surrounded by everybody, she thought he looked entirely different from the man who’d slipped flowers into her hair. Tears started pouring down her cheek.

“And here I thought you were going to come kidnap me.”

Leyas’s breath caught as she spun at the voice behind her—Deel. His flashy clothes were gone, replaced by a plain white shirt. Apparently, he would be staying at the village for a time before departing.

“Why...?”

“You weren’t at home, so I figured you’d be here. You told me this was where you would run if something happened, remember?” Deel replied, a bit perplexed by her trembling voice.

“I heard your memories came back.”

“Yes. But I remember everything that happened here too.” Ruffling his perfectly trimmed bangs, he walked toward her.

“I heard you’re a real prince.”

He paused. “Yeah, I am.” As he drew closer, Leyas slowly stepped back. As if running away. As if afraid of being caught.

“I thought you’d never come back.”

“But I did. I promised you, didn’t I?” Deel stopped, saving Leyas from having to retreat into the spring itself.

As they stared at each other, another tear traced its way down her cheek.

“I came back, but I’ll be leaving again. Once my memories returned, I remembered my responsibilities too. I can’t throw that all away.” Deel’s brow furrowed, reminding Leyas of the faint wrinkle in his brow when she had first seen him.

Did he used to make a face like this?
