Jerry stood gazing out the window. He saw the carriage carrying his brother leaving the palace.
"I know you hate me because of dad. But, you know, I've never been as happy as you think I am. I felt a terrible burden once my father turned over his company to me."
That's the last word his brother said before leaving the palace. At least, that was enough of a relief. In the middle of her reverie, queen megi came to pat him on the shoulder.
"The world is very small," said queen megi with an empty smile.
Jerry looked down at queen megi with a sad look. "What makes you sad?"
Queen megi's smile faded. "Aren't you the one who's sad?"
The hope that he had long instilled in his heart finally disappeared overnight. Shattered feeling of delight that hope was still in sight. Exactly at his brother's party that might be the first and last time.
