There are three main things I have done to select the next king since I became Belle.

First, attend Sariel's lectures.

The course will cover the etiquette required to interact with princes and nobles, as well as the history of the court and the political and economic situation of the Rhodolite,

Every day I absorb the basic knowledge I need to know in order to select a king.

Second, to disguise my identity and show up at social gatherings.

In the social circles of the nobility, there is a lot of fresh information that cannot be obtained by simply attending lectures.

I actively participated in the selection process in order to pick up on the princes' reputations and the latest developments.

Third, I should actually meet the princes in person to determine their personalities.

Nothing is more accurate than information seen or heard firsthand.

However, the princes are busy with their official duties.

There is no time to spare for Belle, and that inevitably leads to more opportunities to accompany them on official business–

Leon: "I never expected to be accompanied by Prince Gilbert."

Gilbert: "I'm just helping the little rabbit today, so don't worry about me."

Yves: ". . . . . ."

(I can't believe this is really happening.)

He seemed to be serious when he suggested at breakfast that he would help me with my work,

Prince Gilbert followed me on my schedule today to accompany me on an inspection of the domestic faction.

(Leon and Yves both looked surprised at first but seemed to swallow their words when they saw the insignia.)

I always have the shadow of Prince Chevalier behind me.

I must be careful with what I say and do and choose not to cause trouble.

Gilbert: "By the way, where are we going today?"

Leon: "To the orphanage."

Gilbert: "Heh, an owned state facility?"

Leon: "No, it's private. It's part of a noble family's charitable work, but when we brought in a research organization, it raised some concerns."

Gilbert: "Really? That's disgusting."

Emma: "What is it?"

(I'm sure there was nothing disgusting in what he just said.)

Gilbert: "Hmm... You'll see when we get there."

Gilbert: "And I have one prediction."

Prince Gilbert, who was sitting next to me, poked me in the nose with his fingertips.

Gilbert: "Maybe by the end of the day, you'll thank me."

Gilbert: "Thank you for protecting me, Prince Gilbert."

(I can't imagine a future like that, though.)

Contrary to the tilting of my head, Leon's expression was firm.

Leon: "You remind me of Chevalier when I talk to you."

Gilbert: "Because you know one and get a thousand, right? Don't call me "big brother" by mistake."

Leon: "I won't call you."

Gilbert: "Haha, by the way..."

A refreshing smile is directed at Yves, who is sitting next to Leon, with his tight-lipped mouth.

Gilbert: "You've been quiet all this time, haven't you? I didn't know you were that quiet."

(Come to think of it, I think Yves has been acting strangely since we got into the carriage.)

His face was somewhat pale, and his body seemed to be more tense than mine.

Emma: "Are you sick, by any chance?"

Yves: "Oh no, it's not like that."

Yves: "It's just..."

Yves turns to Prince Gilbert, his beautiful blue eyes flickering.

Yves: "I have many questions to ask Prince Gilbert."

Gilbert: "No, I don't want to."

Gilbert: "I'd like to form a friendship with the little rabbit, but not with you."

Gilbert: "Frankly, just seeing your face makes me want to kill you."

(Eh...)

Prince Gilbert was smiling, but his eyes were serious.

Leon: "What kind of a rant is that about my brother?"

Gilbert: "I'm sorry. I'm an honest guy."

Yves: "... Have I done something to offend you?"

Gilbert: "No. It's just that your very existence is no good. I don't want you in my sight as much as possible."

Emma: "Why?"

(That's just too unreasonable.)

Even though he is a guest of honor, I cannot tolerate his attitude towards Yves.

I shot a glance at him with momentum, but I was met with a refreshing smile.

Gilbert: "Fufu, I wonder why?"

Gilbert: "If you can't figure it out, it's a sign that you're not doing your part."

Gilbert leaned in close and whispered into my ear.

Gilbert: "If you're "Belle," do your best, okay?"

(You mean I don't understand Yves well enough?)

Emma: "I am not Belle."

Gilbert: "Yes, yes."

The conversation stopped, and an indescribable, stagnant silence dominated the carriage.

Yves and Leon fell silent with solemn faces, and it seemed that Prince Gilbert had no intention of clearing the air.

(... I'm about to cry.)

(I wonder if it's safe to go to an orphanage at this rate.)

(I think children will cry in front of Prince Gilbert, the symbol of evilー)

══════════════════

Boy: "Big brother, that's awesome! Let me see it again!"

Girl: "I want to be on your lap next!"

Gilbert: "Okay? But if you're going to watch it from a special seat, I'd like you to help me."

Prince Gilbert, who was sitting on a chair surrounded by children, puts an innocent, smiling girl on his lap.

(What in the world is this scene?)

The trampling beast, the disaster of the world—I feel those words falling to pieces.

Gilbert: "Put out your hands."

Girl: "Like this?"

Gilbert: "Yes. Your hands are so small, it might overflow."

From out of nowhere, he pulls out a pitch-black cloth and gently covers both of the girl's hands with it.

As the children watched in silence, Prince Gilbert snapped his fingers and...

Girl: "Oh, wow, there's something here!"

When the cloth was removed, a pile of candy was placed in the palms of her small hands.

(How did that happen!?)

The children cheered loudly, and the halls of the orphanage shook.

Not only the staff around them but even Leon and Yves, who were talking to the director, were taken aback.

Gilbert: "I wonder if there are enough for all of us. Hmm... we're missing three more."

Prince Gilbert grips his own empty hand tightly, and when he opens it again, somehow there are some candies on it.

Even I, among the excited children, was watching the show.

Emma: "H-how..."

Gilbert: "It's a magic trick, haven't you seen it?"

Gilbert: "Using visual illusions—or rather, magic-like powers—I can do some wondrous things."

Gilbert: "But more importantly, little rabbit, you have the same expression as the children."

(Uh… No.)

I pull myself together from my slackened expression and clear my throat.

I was almost caught up in Prince Gilbert's magic tricks.

Boy: "Hey, what else can you do?"

Gilbert: "Is there anything I can't do?"

Girl: "You're so cool."

Gilbert: "Thank you. I'm a little embarrassed."

(This is...)

Emma: "... This is the strength of the Trampling Beast."

Leon: "I can't underestimate him. In a short time, all the children in the room were under his control."

Yves: "No, it's not how I imagined it!"

After arriving at the orphanage, he is able to win the hearts and minds of the children in no time at all,

And when the magic tricks are performed, I forget that he is a big villain, surrounded by wonder and excitement.

(And it was surprising. Because Prince Gilbert, who deals with children, is really just a nice young man.)

(Maybe he likes children?)

Director: "... May we continue, Prince Leon?"

Leon: "Oh, I'm sorry. I've had enough of your tour of the facility. We need to see the ledgers and the orphan records."

Leon: "Emma, what about you?"

Gilbert: "Of course, you'll play with the kids with me, right?"

Before I knew it, Prince Gilbert, who was just playing with the children, stood behind me and put pressure on me.

Leon: "... I asked Emma about it."

Gilbert: "You want to do that too, little rabbit… Right?

(He seems to be up to something.)

(... I'm anxious, but I don't want to interfere with Leon and Yves' official duties.)

Emma: "… Can I stay here?"

Yves: "Emma, are you pushing too hard?"

Emma: "I'm fine. If the two of you are just going to verify documents, I won't have to do anything else."

Leon: "Alright... If you need anything, call out to me, okay?"

Emma: "Yes."

Gilbert: "I don't like that. I wouldn't do anything to my friend."

Leon: "I'm hoping we can take your word for it."

Director: "This way, Prince Leon."

Yves: ". . . . . ."

Leon and Yves are led by the director and disappear into the back of the building.

I took a breath and turned around, trying to release the tension.

Emma: "So... why did you hold me back?"

Gilbert: "Fufu, don't you get it?"

(... I don't know.)

Prince Gilbert holds my hand, and his red eye squints meaningfully.

(What kind of evil are you planning?)

The cold hands and the sound of the heart beating against my chest take away my body heat.

I gulped and waited for the next word, and the boy tugged at the edge of his black cloak.

Boy: "Big brother, come and play with us. Let's play in the field next!"

Girl: "Er, I prefer hide-and-seek."

Gilbert: "I believe the "Beast" game is a Rhodolite game in which the "Beast" catches people running away from it?"

Gilbert: "Then let's play hide-and-seek with the beast. This big sister is going to be the seeker."

Emma: "… What?"

Boy: "Really!?"

Girl: "Then we have to hide!"

Gilbert: "Big sister, you have to turn around and count to 60 seconds, okay?"

Emma: "Oh, waitー"

As Prince Gilbert pushed me back against the wall, I felt a group of children running off behind me.

Gilbert: "I'm hiding too, so good luck with that, okay?"

(No way...)

Emma: "… You stopped me because you saw this coming and you didn't want to be the one chasing after them..."

Gilbert: ". . . . . ."

Emma: "Prince Gilbert!"

Gilbert: "Ahaha! I know kids are tough, but I'm tougher, so hang in there."

He releases my hand, and the trampling beast walks away and disappears behind the door.

There was not the slightest sign of malice; in fact, his smile was the brightest of the day.

Emma: "... Fine."

(If Prince Gilbert is so inclined, I'll show him what I see, too.)

══════════════════

(… I thought so, but he's really tough!)

It has been an hour since we started playing hide-and-seek with the beast.

I found all the children, but the most important one, Prince Gilbert, was nowhere to be found.

The children who felt sorry for me helped me in my search,

But even the little beasts, who should have been familiar with the building, could not find Prince Gilbert.

(I think we went through the whole facility.)

(The only place left is the director's office, but Leon and Yves are talking about something important, and I don't think Prince Gilbert is there... Oh.)

It is a little different from what one might expect from a rumor, but Leon and Yves are behind the window that can be seen from the garden.

With papers in hand, the director seemed to be exchanging words with Leon with a serious expression on his face.

(... Actually, something that has been bugging me since a while ago.)

(I thought maybe I was imagining it, but seeing it from a distance like this, I knew it.)

???: "Have you given up, Ms. Beast?"

Emma: "Whoa!?"

He blows on my ear from behind, and I jump back.

I turned around awkwardly and saw the person I was looking for standing there calmly.

Emma: "I finally found you!"

Gilbert: "I wanted to join you. I got bored because you didn't find me at all." // "I wanted to go too. You never find me, so I'm bored." **

(Playing hide-and-seek with a beast doesn't mean you've caught it if you don't touch it.)

I reached out my hand without pause, but Prince Gilbert held his cane to my chest and pushed me away.

Physically distant, my outstretched hand could not reach him.

Emma: "… That's not fair."

Gilbert: "Because I'm the bad guy."

(If you're bored, I wish you would let me catch you quietly.)

Gilbert: "It wouldn't be much fun to get caught so easily, would it?"

As if reading my mind, Prince Gilbert returns my words and averts his gaze.

Even the blood-colored eye seemed to notice Leon and Yves on the other side of the window.

Gilbert: "I see… What did you think when you saw that, little bunny?"

(That way of asking... Prince Gilbert noticed it too.)

Emma: "I found his attitude toward Yves too rude." // "I felt that his attitude toward Yves was uncalled for."

Yves and Leon visited the orphanage for an inspection.

And yet, the director was talking only to Leon and not even looking at Yves.

(But Yves seems to accept it like it's normal.)

While Leon and the Director talk, Yves looks over the documents and sees neither anger nor sadness on his face.

The response was, 'That's the way it's supposed to be.'

Emma: "Why is no one answering?"

Gilbert: "In these situations, the first thing you do is guess at the cause."

Prince Gilbert, who has lowered his cane, stands next to me.

Gilbert: "What could be the reason for his unreasonable treatment?"

(Why do people ignore others...)

Emma: "Is it because he doesn't like or has a grudge against Yves?"

Gilbert: "Great answer. As expected, Belle has keen eyes."

Emma: "However, as I see it, Yves doesn't seem to be the kind of person who would hold a grudge."

(He may be a bit twitchy and not always honest, but Yves is a kind prince.)

Before the arrival of the princes of the three countries, as Belle, Yves's character is reasonably well assessed.

I didn't think this feeling I was having was wrong.

Gilbert: "If you say so, then so be it."

Gilbert: "But if you put me in his shoes, it's easier to understand, isn't it?"

Emma: "Prince Gilbert?"

Gilbert: "Yep. What kind of person am I to you?"

(When asked again...)

Emma: "A scary man."

Gilbert: "Ahaha, now that's what you think of me."

Emma: "... I'm sorry, was that rude?"

Gilbert: "Why? You're just saying what's on your mind."

Gilbert: "I don't see that as disrespectful. It's just the truth that I'm a scary person."

Gilbert: "Let's take our time and get to know each other, shall we?"

(Why does he look happy? ...Maybe because I didn't lie.)

Gilbert: "You are wary of me because I am a Prince of Obsidian."

Gilbert: "The name "Obsidian" is an abhorred and hated name."

Gilbert: "Especially Rhodolite. I still remember the Bloodstained Rose Day."

Gilbert: "Even if I were a good, kind, nice young man, you wouldn't open your heart to me."

Emma: " . . . . . . "

Gilbert: "You already know the answer to that, don't you?"

Gilbert: "The kids and the facility staff just don't know that I'm the Prince of Obsidian...

Gilbert: "I think they would all change their attitudes if they knew who I was."

(In other words, Prince Gilbert is saying that there is a problem with Yves' bloodline, not his character.)

(I was told that all Rhodolite princes are half brothers, so if there's a problem--)

Emma: "Yves' mother isー"

Gilbert: "Ah, don't mention his name in front of me, okay? It makes me very uncomfortable."

Emma: " . . . . . . "

His blood-colored eye was so cold that it instinctively made me shiver.

(… No doubt. He's an Obsidian too.)

I look at Yves again, and my heart aches at the sight of him without any emotion in his eyes.

(I'll have to look it up when I get back to the court.)

Prince Gilbert turns on his heels as if he had lost interest.

I took advantage of the opportunity and quickly grabbed his hand.

Gilbert: "… Hm?"

Emma: "... I caught you off guard, didn't I?"

Gilbert: " . . . . . . "

Emma: "I got you!"

(Finally... Finally, the hide-and-seek with the beast game is over!)

Prince Gilbert, who looked stunned, for some reason burst out laughing.

Gilbert: "Even though you're scared of me."

Emma: "That's not what I'm talking about. I hate to lose."

Gilbert: "Heh, I see. That's the first time I've heard of that."

Emma: "… Even though you know everything about me?"

Gilbert: "There are things I don't know."

Gilbert: "Generally speaking, if you can understand everything about a person just by listening to what they say..."

Gilbert: "As Belle, you don't need to be at court, do you?"

(If you ask me, it's hard to tell just by listening to them; that's why I'm facing the princes directly.)

(… I'm relieved that not everything is going down.)

Gilbert: "Heh. Since you were so competent, I'll tell you one thing about me."

Prince Gilbert holds me with his other hand.

I felt the cold temperature all over my body, and a chill ran down my spine.

Emma: "What is it?"

Gilbert: "Actually, I'm一"

𝗟𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿:

To My Friend Little Rabbit

It's been a long time since I wrote a letter.

I picked up the pen because I wanted to get to know you better, my friend.

But to be honest, I have nothing to write about. I should be writing letters because I have something to say, but I have nothing.

So, how about you ask me a few questions? I know a lot about you, but you know nothing about me. Isn't that unfair?

I'll tell you all about it when I feel like it. If you don't answer me properly, I might get offended.

Well, you can only choose to write a letter or be forced to write a letter... Okay?

Gilbert von Obsidian
