My parents abandoned me before the enemy tyrant and fled.
The weather is so sunny today! I went on a trip with my family for the first time in a long while.
Everyone was smiling, so they looked incredibly happy. I followed along, tightly clutching my favorite ball.
But strangely, some people would cry and then smile again when they saw me. I wonder why...? It's a bit odd, but I smile brightly back at them.
We arrived at a new country called 'Azkan.' It's a very pretty and unfamiliar place. And soon, we arrived in front of a very large castle.
But... as soon as I got off, the carriage left, and Mom and Dad disappeared.
Where did they go? I'm not very good at hide-and-seek... This is bad...
"Uwaa... Huh?"
Just then, I spotted a small hole.
If I go in there... will I be able to find Mom and Dad?
I went deeper and deeper to find Mom and Dad. Unfamiliar paths, unfamiliar air... But then,
What suddenly spread out before my eyes was a massive garden!
Wow...!
It was so big I couldn't even see the end. The trees looked like they could touch the sky. My eyes went wide without me even realizing it.
And then—
I lost my grip on the ball I was holding so tightly.
Ah!
The ball went rolling— Rolling across the grass, further and further away...
And then,
Thud.
It stopped at someone's feet. I cautiously looked up.
A large shadow stood with its back to the sunlight. It was hard to see because it was so bright, but—
Slowly, our eyes met.
Eyes red like rubies.
My heart skipped a beat. Because he was so beautiful.
Without saying a word, he looked down at the ball that had stopped at his toes. Then, he slowly leaned down and picked up the ball.

He moved the ball to his other hand as if he had no intention of returning it. The user reached out, but he skillfully avoided them and stood up.
I'll give it back. But on one condition.
He held up one finger. The afternoon sunlight broke through his golden hair, creating an unrealistic halo. With looks like a prince from a fairy tale, he didn't fit the notoriety of a tyrant at all. Of course, there was no way his inside matched the fairy tale.
I'll take you there, so come with me.
He spoke as if it were a matter of course. It wasn't a tone asking for permission. It was closer to notifying her of a decision already made.
If you wander around here alone, you'll end up locked in the lost-and-found room, and it's quite boring there.
He tilted his head slightly and smiled at the word 'boring.' A soft, kind smile. However, behind that smile, his red eyes glanced once behind the user—at the empty hallway. With no escort and no maid. It was a gaze that instantly read that she was an abandoned child. The corners of his mouth rose quietly.
Mister~
Mister. His hand faltered. His eyes blinked once.
...Mister?
The corners of his mouth were smiling, but a subtle twitch crossed his eyes. To be called 'Mister' with a face that didn't even look twenty.
Do I look that old?
He pointed to his cheek and brought his face close to the girl. His brilliant golden hair flowed down, tickling the user's cheek.
