It's 4 years since the demon king was sealed... Werne was crowned as the new king of the Allgreen Kingdom, and steadily the scars of the war with the demon king were being healed.

Werne who newly inherited the thrown grew up to be a wise ruler, because he showed his talents to his heart's content.

However, needless to say, Might supported Werne with his strength in public and private matters secretly.

Werne
...Hey, Might, what do you think about this petition?

Might
It's from a remote town, appealing to you to maintain new roads.

Werne
Ah, if I could grant that request I would, but... The national treasury isn't unlimited. Does the Minister of Finance consent...

Might
Monsters still live in that area, and damage has occurred to other villages in the area, too.

Might
It might be reasonable to set up a garrison to decrease harm to that highway, and to maintain it, don't you think?

Werne
Yeah... I was thinking along those lines, too.

Werne
You're still reliable. You described what I wanted perfectly in words.

Might
That... I was merely stating my opinion.

Werne
Huhuu... You haven't changed.

Werne broke the serious facial expression he held until then as a monarch, and smiled teasingly at the shy Might.

Might
Eh...?

Werne
Soon it'll be 4 years since we met... It's just like old times.

Might
Is, is that so...

Werne
Recently the time we've spent together has decreased, too... That's right... When this is over, I want to take a little vacation.

Werne
Yeah... I want to go on a long ride together. It'll certainly be beautiful at that place during this season...

Might
Yes, lately it has been busy, it would probably be good if Your Majesty takes a little vacation.

Werne
Hey, Might, when it's just us haven't I told you to stop calling me "Your Majesty"?

Might
...Y, yes. I'm sorry, Your Majesty!

Might
...Ah?!

Werne
Hahaha... You still can't change...

He trusted the person he loved, moreover responded to him happily day after day-.

But, during that sort of life, a secret anxiety crept into Might's heart. Their mutual positions were too different...

Though he loved him deeply, Might was merely a knight, and, and it didn't change that Werne was burdened with being the king of the country.

And then, that anxiety was going to become realized soon...

Werne
A marriage proposal...?!

Courtier A
Yes. A messenger from the neighboring country of Balana... Certainly the first princess Tatiana, Your Majesty's queen...

Courtier B
Right now, two princes are fighting over the right to inherit the throne. It would be better if an older present king built relations before the country falls into disorder.

Courtier C
We've had tense relations with Balana for many years, this is a rare opportunity. For all of Allgreen, it is for the sake of this country...

Courtier A
Moreover we know Princess Tatiana from being nearby, and she's a princess gifted with both intelligence and beauty. In order to have a successor, Your Majesty should be getting married soon.

Courtier B
Your Majesty, please consider carefully.

Werne
...

Courtier B
Your Majesty...?

Werne
Might... What do you think? About this...

Might
Eh...! You mean... me?

At suddenly being called, Might unintentionally muddled his words.

Werne
That's right. Might, I want to hear your opinion...

It is Your Majesty's own problem

Agree for the sake of the country
