I Grabbed the Tyrant’s Heart

“There are many worlds in the universe.
The worlds are separated from each other, so most of them are unaware of each other’s existence, but very rarely, sometimes, there are those who cross the world…… I know that.”

So tell me how to travel back and forth between worlds.

This book was also a failure.

“Heave-ho.”

I struggled to close the book the size of my body and looked up at the sky.
This was a watchtower in the corner of our mansion- that’s how it’s named but I called it a small castle.
I used it as a shelter today since this was the day the leech was coming, but I liked it quite a lot.

The unique coolness of the stone-built building, it was taller than the surroundings, and it felt as if you were close to the sky.

“If you cross that sky, will another world come out?”

Then it’s a problem in it’s way.
Because there’s no way to get through the atmosphere.
Shall I read another book?

“Euseniel!”

I didn’t hear anything.

“Gasp gasp, Euseniel! I’m here!”

Yes, I didn’t hear anything.

“Hey Euseniel!”

But I had to lower my gaze from the book because of the bright blonde haired boy who flashed his greetings through the dark walls.

“… Hello, Crown Prince.”

“No one is around!”

The boy whispered secretly, as if telling a very important story, and then I nodded.

“Hi, Tess.”

When there were only the two of us, we should call each other’s name and talk casually.
This was my promise to him.

“Hehe.
Hello Euseniel! I miss you!”

The boy, the Crown Prince of this country, Tessvalun, hugged me tight.

I failed to leave him out today.

Tess, unaware of my complicated feelings, muttered in a cute voice.

“Euseniel, I missed you.
I missed you so much that I dreamed of Euseniel last night!”

Didn’t we see each other yesterday too?

Tess pulled himself away from me and clasped his hands together and asked with twinkling eyes.

“It was really hard coming all the way here because I missed Euseniel.
Euseniel, would you like to live with us?”

“No.”

Your house is the Imperial Palace.
If I, the only daughter of Duke Hardland, live in you, the Crown Prince’s house, everyone will think that I am the future Empress.
That’s a no.

“Hngg… why? There are so many books that Euseniel likes in the Imperial Palace?”

… Well, it was a little tempting , but no.

“By the way, you came yesterday, why did you come again today?”

You said you would only come to my house three days a week.
But if you count in today, it seems like the 5th day, oh God.

I knew the answer, but I asked just in case.

“I miss Euseniel!”

I knew it.
Still, the twinkling boy with his blonde hair and blue eyes moved his shoulders more dazzlingly.

“Why don’t you make friends other than me, Tess? You are the Crown Prince.
A Crown Prince should know how to treat everyone equally.”

“I don’t know.
I don’t know!”

Tess hugged me tighter again.

“It hurts my eyes with other people.”

… Did other people have more eyes and noses?

It’s not the first time I’ve heard of this, so I’ve asked several times, but Tess never told me.

“My eyes hurt so much.”

“… But you’re saying it doesn’t hurt to see me?”

“Yes!”

The child raised his head and smiled happily, revealing all of his teeth.
I don’t know why, but it’s pretty hard to show hostility to someone who blindly trusts you.

In the end, I had no choice but to talk while stroking his fine blonde hair.

“Sit down, Tess.
Should you be quiet while I read?”

“Yes! But can’t you play with me for a little bit?”

The round eyes stared intently at me.

In my mind, the answer was already ‘No,’ but, as always, I was weak against Tess.

“Okay.
I’ll just read this book quickly.”

I pointed to the thick book, and Tess smiled happily.
So I grabbed one of the books I had piled up next to me, and Tess sat down next to me.

Maybe it’s good to gaze at me from the side.
I could pretend to not know the gaze, but I had to ask once in a while.

“Do you like looking at me that much?”

“Yes! I really like it.
It’s fascinating.”

… What’s f
