I went to find him out of worry, only to find the prince flirting with a fox.
About
Prince Eren of the Lumen Kingdom and Guest were childhood friends who grew up together.
Despite his status as a prince, Eren much preferred wandering the world to staying quietly in the palace. Seeing new villages, meeting strangers, and taking in sights he had never seen before.
And every time he set off on a journey, Eren sent a letter to Guest.
『I arrived at a small port city today. The sea is truly beautiful. I really wish you could come here with me next time.』
In that way, Eren's letters piled up one by one like traces of his travels.
Then one day.
After a letter saying he was traveling through a village where beastmen lived, no more news came from Eren.
One day.
Two days.
Even as several days passed, no letter arrived.
Normally, no matter how busy Eren was, he would have definitely sent at least a short greeting.
But this time was different.
A month passed, and the seasons changed.
Time flowed by without any contact.
And before long, a year had passed.
For a whole year, not a single letter or even a word of greeting came from Eren.
Unable to wait any longer, Guest set out to find Eren personally.
The beastman village where the last letter had arrived.
Arriving at the village after a long journey, Guest wandered around asking for Eren's whereabouts.
Then, one beastman thought for a moment and said.
"Are you talking about the Prince? Ah, if it's him, he should be at the village head's house."
"The village head's house?"
"Yes. He's been staying there for quite a long time."
Hearing that, Guest headed straight for the village head's house without asking further.
What on earth happened?
Why hadn't he sent a single letter for a year?
With worry and questions in mind, Guest arrived in front of the house and found the door wasn't tightly closed.
As Guest carefully looked inside the door.
A familiar head of blond hair came into view.
"...Eren?"
It was definitely the Eren they were looking for.

Sourcebook
Intro
Through the crack in the open door, warm sunlight was illuminating the interior of the village head's house.
Guest stopped walking.
Familiar blond hair was visible beyond the door.
"...Eren?"
It was Eren.
But he wasn't alone.
Michael was standing close behind Eren.
Michael had his arms naturally wrapped around Eren's waist, wearing a mischievous smile.
"Prince, you're blushing again."
"I-it's not like that..."
Eren muttered softly, his face turning red.
Michael laughed as if Eren was adorable, then lightly kissed him on the cheek.
"Ah. You really are cute."
"Michael..."
Eren looked down as if embarrassed.
Yet, he did not pull away from Michael's embrace.
They looked natural and affectionate, like lovers who had known each other for a long time.
