TYND 44
TL: Motokare Ken Bane had attempted to kidnap Rothy several times. Even after his first failure, he’d persistently sent mercenaries and assassins, but after that initial attempt, none had even managed to get close. —Are you saying this knowing full well my current situation? Things here aren’t like your empire. Just trying to stabilise my royal authority alone is— “Yes, which is exactly why I’m bringing it up. I must admit, I regret tossing bait at someone so preoccupied with…-

TYND 43
Rothy was still young, so it made sense for him to accept the marriage and the title of archduchess for now. But once he became an adult, he might grow to resent being bound to a man fourteen years older. Rothy might even blame him, asking if this was the only way to protect him from PLEIN. Unfortunately for him, Theon had no intention of letting him go. Everyone—the emperor, PLEIN, his own subordinates—they were all mistaken. They believed this marriage was nothing more than a guardianship contract…-

TYND 42
Chungnip and Count Hagen, who’d been waiting outside, went in. Soon after, a shocked cry rang out, “What? That's impossible!” Theon’s senses snapped to high alert, his body tensing as he scanned the shadows of the night-filled city, convinced someone hidden there was targeting Rothy. But it was just paranoia—the city lay quiet and safe. “Theon... What’s wrong? Are you fine? Did I do something wrong? The sensitive Rothy noticed something off about Theon’s state and…-

TYND 41
Theon hadn’t been carrying Rothy around from the start. He’d let him stand on his own and greet the nobles properly. But once, while rushing between events, Rothy had tripped while scrambling to keep up. After that, Theon started carrying him, and now he refused to put him down. “I’ll ask Rothy directly. Rothy—” “But I like being carried by Theon.” Rothy swung his small, polished shoes and nuzzled his head against Theon’s shoulder, mussing the hair Ultje had…-

TL: Motokare After that, his master disciplined him many times. His master grew increasingly irritable, and he found himself being scolded more often. Those days remained vivid in his memory. Even now, after the war had ended. I can't let them find out. The world wouldn't end now. All the fiends had retreated. But still, they couldn't find out. They'll think I betrayed them. They'll feel betrayed and hate me. I want to stay close to Theon... The mindset his master had nailed into him…-

TL: Motokare “Even after erasing some of the spells from memory, you’re still having a fever.” “That’s just how I am.” Theon sat Rothy on the bed and pulled up a backless stool for himself. “In a week, His Imperial Majesty will announce that Yolone Sirin had a disciple.” “Is that... me?” “Yes. We’ll keep the fact that you’re a living magic stone hidden, but we decided to reveal your existence to the world. This is needed so I can protect you…-

TL: Motokare “Rothy. You said before that you knew how to destroy bridges. Did you use that spell during the war?” “......!” “And not just once or twice... you were active throughout the war. Isn't that right?” Rothy avoided answering, his green eyes welling up. His reaction was as good as an answer. “How on earth did he do it without us knowing...? Your Grace, did you ever sense the presence of an archmage like Rothy?” “Never.” “Neither did I. An archmage…-

TL: Motokare Chungnip rushed past the frozen Theon. “Rothy! Good heavens, what’s wrong?!” “I’m sorry. This happened because of my mistake...” “What’re you saying?! What mistake? Get up now!” He lifted Rothy and sat him in a chair. Scree, screee! The weasel tugged at Chungnip’s robe, refusing to let go. The mage ended up busying himself trying to comfort both Rothy and the weasel. “I messed up...” The faint voice trailed off again before Theon…-
