Just before noon, on the tenth day of the Crown Prince’s birthday party.
Vio visited the Prince’s study.
The study was spacious; along with its nature-inspired design, it exhibited an open atmosphere. The oak furniture had a glossy sheen, and the leaves of the decorative plant were lush. It caused one to feel comfortable enough to want to pass the time in the room..
As Vio walked further into the Prince’s study, he saw an office desk. In front of it was a tea table and a chaise lounge, where guests could be seated for conversations. Once he saw Ars, he kneeled down on one knee and greeted the prince.
“Your Highness, I’ve come upon your call. Do you need something from me?” asked Vio.
“I’m sorry for suddenly calling you here. Take a seat for now,” Ars said as he pointed to the chaise lounge. He then moved towards it and took a seat.
“Yes, excuse me.”
Vio also sat down on the chaise lounge. His attendant, Legion, brought out the tea cakes and set it on the table before he poured both Vio and Ars a cup of tea. He then stood behind Vio towards his right.
Ars picked up his cup and slovenly drank the tea. Sensing that the Prince was annoyed, Vio took a sip of his tea and placed it cup back down. Straightforwardly, he asked, “Did I do something wrong?”
Vio had a guess. It was his interaction with Earl Sarg Villan last night. He didn’t think his response would cause a problem, but Ars might criticise him for being rude since Sarg was a delegate of a foreign country.
Vio prepared himself to quickly apologize, but Ars’ reply was unexpected. “No, you didn’t. Actually, Princess Liona likes you a lot.”
“…?”
“She came to ask me if you want to go to Ruslan as an exchange student,” Ars said with a bitter look. Vio looked at the prince’s beautiful face in silent amazement.
Exchange student!? What is this development? This didn’t happen in the manga. Although Vio didn’t show his emotions on his face, he was very shocked.
Seeing that Vio was speechless, Ars added, “I stopped Princess Liona from directly marching into your room and called you to my study first. You don’t want to stand out, right?”
“…Yes.” Vio nodded awkwardly as he inwardly exclaimed “Safe!”, heart pounding.
His brother, Rupheus, had been furious when they last came to his room. If it happened again, Rupheus would definitely rebuke him. Plus, Princess Liona was a lady. Entering the room of the opposite sex would spread gossip that would damage her reputation.
If Prince Ars didn’t stop her, those false rumors will increase again…
Once the rumors spread, he might become known as a scoundrel who seduced a foreign princess.
“Thank you very much for your consideration, Your Highness,” said Vio.
“Well, it’s only natural. I don’t want to provoke the Lesserhain family either.” Ars was probably annoyed because he quarreled with Liona.. “So how about it? Do you want to go?”
“Even if you ask me that… this is rather sudden.”
“Oh, right. I’m sure it’s a great surprise for you, Violant. But if you agree, she will become very annoyi— I mean, she’ll make a noise when it’s time for you to go home.”
Vio decided to pretend he didn’t hear Ars’ true thoughts spilling out. “Have you spoken to my father about this matter…?” He asked.
“No, not yet. I wanted to ask for your opinion first. I heard from Night that you’re interested in Ruslan. If you want to go there, why not give it a try?”
Vio looked down at his tea. On its surface, reflected his bewildered expression.
I’ve never thought of living outside of my family’s territory. But things are starting to become better for Leca town. Leaving is out of the question. Vio shook his head slowly.
“I’m grateful for this offer, but I would like to refuse. Currently, I’m researching ways that can make Leca town a little richer. I have to keep an eye on it to make sure that nothing bad will happen. I’m sure Ruslan is an amazing country. Even so, that peaceful, snowy town is equally as amazing for me,” Vio answered calmly.

When he raised his head, Ars didn’t look happy. Apparently, he didn’t like Vio’s reply. Finding Ars’ honest attitude funny, Vio relaxed his expression.
“You like that rural town that much?” Ars asked.
“Even a rural town can produce resources that enrich the territory.”
“Your brother would definitely sneer at it in scorn however.”
“Ahaha, you’re right. But every place has its good points. I consider that town to be a rough diamond. I’m looking forward to discovering what kind of value it has.”
Ars sighed deeply. “I understand your reasons, Violant. I’ll refuse Liona’s offer for you. You don’t have to worry about this matter anymore.” Regardless, Ars still didn’t look satisfied with his choice. “But can I ask you a question?”
Vio nodded slightly. “Yes, what is it?”
“What are you going to do if someone snatches that gem you’ve worked so hard to polish?”
Indirectly, Ars was asking Vio about what he would do if Rupheus stole his credit for enriching Leca town. Vio couldn’t help but chuckle. Ars became even more sullen and frowned.
“Why are you laughing?”
“Pardon me for being rude. I’m just thinking that Your Highness is kind,” replied Vio.
“I-it’s your fault! I don’t usually meddle in other people’s problems like this. I just can’t bear not doing anything after seeing how dangerous the situation you’re in is. It’s like a rabbit in the cage of a beast. Even though I’ve already unlocked the cage for the rabbit, it doesn’t even want to come out. You can just go to a better place that will treat you kinder, you know?”
Vio held in his laughter at Ars’ exquisite metaphor. If the beast referred to both his father and elder brother, then the cage would be the Lesserhain territory, and the key to unlocking it would be the ticket to Ruslan.
“Personally, living in Leca town is very comfortable. As for what I would do if someone stole the gem… Since a while ago, the blowing wind has brought the smell of the gem of the sea. The cage right now is merely for show, so I’m not even sure if it can stay intact if something happens in the future…”
“Violant, that’s…”
“That’s my meagre gratitude to Your Highness for worrying about me. Your Highness, I’ve already said this before, but you don’t have to worry about me. When the time comes, you should cast me away.”
Ars golden eyes widened slightly. “…How far have you seen with those eyes?”
Eyes casted down slightly, Vio replied, “Well, how can I answer this? The more I move away from the light, the more I can see the shadows. I only know some things because I live in the countryside.” He picked up his cup and drank his tea slowly.
“I understand. By the way, I’m planning to go for a long ride in three days at 8 o’clock in the morning. Do you have any plans at that time?” Ars asked.
“I don’t, but… It’s difficult to explain, Your Highness.”
“What? Come on, don’t refuse my invitation.”
“No, that’s not it. I don’t know how to ride a horse, so can I ride with Legi?”
Ars looked surprised. “You can’t ride a horse?”
“This is embarrassing, but after two years of not leaving my mansion, I’ve forgotten how to ride one.”
“Your illness was that serious?”

Vio said nothing, a bitter smile on his lips.
“Well, I don’t mind. We’ll just be strolling in my family’s forest behind the palace. It’s not that far, so the horses won’t get tired,” said Ars.
“I’m grateful for that.”
“Liona is coming as well, okay?” It was probably because Vio had a worried expression that Ars added, “She might keep bringing up the matter about you studying abroad. Prepare yourself.”
Thinking about how Ars had read him so easily, Vio mentally gave a bitter smile. “Yes.”
