Chapter 0 – Prologue
“Is that all?”
A sharp word flew like a dagger. As always, Elysee was silent with her head bowed. Whenever her father was angry, it was best to just be quiet.
“What are you?”
Tsk. The man turned his back with the sound of his tongue clicking. Then, the suffocating tension was relieved, and Elysee slowly slumped in her seat.
The scene looked too harsh for a child, who was only ten years old, to endure.
As tears slowly dripped from Elysee’s round eyes, at that moment, something tugged her hair from the grass. Carefully looking around, she soon realized that there was no one but something fleetingly approaching her.
Among the flowers, under the ground, in the trees, and even in the sky. Animals scattered here and there gathered around Elysee at once.
[ Hey, are you crying? ]
The hummingbird that came from spoke teasingly. As Elysee cried louder, the voices of reproach increased everywhere as well.
[ What did that mouth say now? ]
[ What mouth, can’t you see? ]
[ Is there something? ]
There was a faint sound of a cat in the male voice. As the cat approached, rubbing its torso against her calves, a light smile appeared on Elysee’s face.
[ Elysee, don’t be so sad. You don’t have to get swept up by those human words. ]
The owl, who hid himself in the dark, comforted her with a stiff voice.
[ However… It’s true that I’m useless… ] She replied pessimistically, crouching her body down.
Green hair, shining brown eyes, and above all, the pattern on the back of the hand.
Her father, the King, expected the power of the legendary tree, ‘Karsita,’ from Elysee, but he was always disappointed.
[ I think I really picked up the right one. ]
The voice that uttered those words was whimpering and speaking in a pathetic tone. The raccoon muttered carefully, peering at its surroundings.
[ But then, maybe the one you picked up is not correct… Kek! ]
[ You, go and wash your hands. ]
He was immediately beaten by another animal in the head and immediately shut his mouth.
After hearing those words, Elysee became more depressed. This is because she knows that even though she is a princess of the Central Continent here, the word “a princess with unknown origin” did not come up for nothing.
Abandoned in front of the castle, she was able to live thanks to her peculiar appearance and the pattern on the back of her hand. Even that was a bit lame, and in reality, she’s just confined in a cold annex now.
[ Elisee, I’ve heard of that power before. ]
[ …Power? ]
[ The pattern on the back of your hand. ]
The voice of the owl was heard again, and Elysee swiftly raised her head. As she blinks her reddish eyes, she makes a facial expression asking what does he means.
[ You know that the legendary tree Karsita exists at the end of the Northern Continent, do you? ]
[ Yes, my father talked about it. ]
[ You are born with that power, so someday, you will be able to manifest it. ]
[ …I-I will? ]
[ Yes. In the distant future, if you face Karsita in person, you will surely get a clue. ]
At that time, Elysee was young and couldn’t fully understand what those words mean. To be exact, she couldn’t believe it. However, the idea wasn’t wrong because she didn’t have the ability to speak until she was an adult. It was only then that she could communicate with animals.
Then one day,
“Your marriage has been decided.”
She was married and sold off to the Northern Continent, known as the Land of the Barbarians, and Elysee thought it was for the best.
But she didn’t know then that from that day on, her life would change… in a way that she couldn’t even imagine.
“From you… I don’t want to run away.”
“I like you.”
“I like you, Kale.”
Who she will be in love with.
“Because insulting me is insulting my country, and insulting my country means insulting me.”
“It means that I can face you, with my everything on the line.”
Going through obstacles.
“…Father.”
What kind of person she will be.
“I’m sorry we met as enemies.”
She didn’t realize it at all…
