Chapter 4 - Chaper 2-1

" How peaceful "

It has been almost three weeks since I first came here. To be honest, I don't really have anything to do for the past few weeks. Everyday I only need to eat, sleep and let the doctors check my injuries. Since I was so bored, I tried to recall all the events, the main characters' personalities and wrote all of them out, still I cannot remember the First Prince's personalities though. Moreover, I have not meet neither the King nor the First Prince Caesar. About the King, in the game it stated that he detests Francis but dotes on Caesar a lot, so that explained why I cannot meet the King. But Caesar ... he doesn't have any valid reasons for not visiting me while I'm injured. The story plot's background information did not say that Caesar hated Francis or the both of them had conflicts, until the ' Heroine ' appeared, so I cannot think of any reasons that the First Prince doesn't visit me. More importantly, I've long forgotten about his appearance so I am eager to meet him.

" Haaaaa ... " I sighed.

I am so bored right now, and there aren't anything that caught my interest. The maids and the butlers would not let me go outside or even stand on my own. Just a few days ago, I've tried to escape but failed, so Mother allocated some guards outside my room and locked all my windows.

I take out my personal notebook, which I wrote most of the game's events on. During the past few days, I've read this notebook over and over again, and ended up memorise all of it. I'm six years old this year, so there will be 2 more years until I meet Beryl. Why are the King and Queen want to arrange my marriage so soon ? Caesar can marry whoever he likes and he isn't tied down by any engagement. Why is it only me ?

Being born as the first child of your parents is very lucky, not only Caesar has higher chance of being the future King, but he's also given the permission to love anyone, while this second child has limited freedom and is also hated by his own Father. Francis's life is so harsh and Beryl didn't even sympathised him or being on his side as a normal friend ! I thought that Beryl is kind, Beryl is friendly, Beryl is a Goddess-like person ? ? Still, she is the cause of Francis' execution in the game, I have a feeling that I need to avoid my engagement with her. I don't know to convince the King and the Queen though.

But I need to put that aside for now, since it is already time for dinner. I am still not able to go out of my room so the butlers will bring my food here. Mother said that today's main dish for dinner is salmon which is my favourite ever since I came to this world, I'm really looking forward to dinner !

...

Why are the butlers so slow ? They always deliver my meal here at seven o'clock sharp, but it's is half-past seven now judging from the sky outside. In this world, the dusk is usually at around seven'o clock, and it should be dark at half-past seven. I am so hungry right now. I want to eat something, it is not a good thing to leave a four-year-old child hungry for so long. Maybe the butlers encountered something on the way, I should be more patient and wait for them to come. I think I should lie down for a while, I've sit on this chair from the moment I woke up until now. Fortunately, the distance between my bed and this table is not far, so I can more or less walk by myself to the bed.

So lonely ... I really want someone to talk to, but there are no one around my age, except the First Prince in this Palace. I tried to talk to the guards, but they are so quiet that I could not continue the conversation with them. I am so hungry, lonely and sleepy. My friends back in the university days said that people will become more likely to fall asleep when they are hungry, since there is no energy inside their bodies. I guess that was true, since the drowsiness is attacking me right now. I wonder why the butlers are so late. I take out the watch from my pocket .... three minutes more to eight o'clock. They are very late, I will surely complain to Mother. Surely, I will complain, but only after I wake up.....

" Huh ? "

I slowly open my eyes. I was lying on my bed and saw my hand holding the watch.

What happened ? I remembered that I was sitting at the table .... Oh right, I was so tired while waiting for my food so I went to bed. It was around eight o'clock when I fell at sleep, and it is nine right now. It looks like my food still has not come yet, as there are no signs of people coming into my room. Do they forget about me ? No, it's not possible. Mother would have order them to bring my dinner up.
