TSHF 37

The most beloved sunshine of the Lornod Empire. Everyone praised me, the Empire’s princess, but deep down, I had known from a very young age— That I wasn’t the Emperor’s real daughter. [Wow! A new master! Hi hi! I’m Modway!] [Oh my~ What a cute little girl~? I’m Marin~, nice to meet you~.] [Ahem! My name is Nesgal!] Because the descendants of dragons—royalty—shouldn’t be able to see spirits.To avoid everyone’s suspicion, I spent my days hiding behind a mask. But one day, the mother I loved was found cold and lifeless. That was the sign. I could no longer live like sunshine. “Are you really going to marry him?” “Princess, you don’t need to say it. I know. I’m someone pretty special to you.” “You know, I can’t lie to you.” At your honest words, the defenses I’d kept up for years quietly melted away. ‘How can you say things like that so easily?’ I swallowed the question I couldn’t bring myself to ask, and he smiled, as if he knew everything. Unlike the fake sunshine I had created, it was a warm, genuine smile.
