The Tyrant Wants To Live Honestly

Standing still in boredom was one of his least favorite things to do, But if he doesn’t follow the etiquette, he will get scolded.

 

Raymond glanced at the servant standing off to one side.

 

“It looks like the meeting ahead is getting longer….my leg hurts.”

 

In response to Raymond’s complaints, the servant quickly brought him a simple chair.

 

There is a dining table chair in front, but they give Raymond the simple chair.

 

Raymond couldn’t even understand the concept of etiquette.

 

Besides, he didn’t really mean his legs hurt. 

 

He just didn’t like standing around doing nothing.

 

“He will be here soon. His Majesty is busy. I’m sure he wouldn’t want to keep the Prince waiting. I’m sure His Majesty would like to have dinner with you as soon as possible.”

 

The servant spoke as if to comfort Raymond, who was sulking.

 

But Raymond’s protruding lips remain unchanged.

 

‘You don’t have to be an emperor, then. Don’t make me wait like this, don’t have a meeting you don’t like and…. You could just go see Dorothea.’

 

But Raymond knew he shouldn’t put those thoughts into words. So, for no reason, he kicked the chair at the dining table in front of him.

 

at that time.

 

“His Majesty is coming in.”

 

At the sound, a servant rushed over and hastily removed Raymond’s chair. The simple chair was quickly removed.

 

Raymond also stood up straight.

 

‘Father has finally arrived!’

 

Raymond greeted Carnan with a big smile.

 

“Your Majesty!”

 

But Carnan didn’t even give him a glance. 

 

While talking with Aide, he walked to the head of the table.

 

Raymond became sullen for a moment, but soon gained courage and ran to Karnan.

 

“Your Majesty, I’ve waited a long time!”

 

He opened his arms towards Carnan. but Carnan just glanced at him.

 

“The emperor is a busy position, Ray, and I can’t always talk to you.”

 

Carnan shook his head as if he has no choice but to make him wait.

 

‘That’s not what I meant….I meant it was nice to see you.’

 

Raymond was going to say ‘I missed you’, but Carnan said, 

 

“Sit down, Ray.”

 

“yes….”

 

Raymond trudged back to his seat with slumped shoulders.

 

Carnan then exchanged a few words with his aide.

 

After the appetizers came out, Carnan finished talking with his aide.

 

‘Now he will talk to me!’

 

Ray smiled brightly while holding a fork.

 

At that moment, Carnan’s gaze met his.

 

“Your Majesty I—” 

 

“Are you studying letters well, Ray?”

 

“Ah…yes.”

 

Raymond, who had been about to talk excitedly about his day, frowned.

 

“I hear from Minerva that you’ve been skipping homework.”

 

Raymond’s lips were glued to Carnan’s words.

 

He was six years old and it was the biggest crisis of his life.

 

“What did I say you had to do to become emperor later, ray?”

 

‘I have to do things I don’t want to do…’

 

Raymond put his fork down again.

 

“I think I should give you your own guard knight.”

 

“That would be nice.”

 

Raymond still had guard knight, but they patrolled and watched over him throughout his stay, and only accompanied him when he went outside.

 

Since it is somewhat safe inside the palace, there’s no need for them to follow him closely behind.

 

However, Carnan insists that he will have a knight at his side even inside the palace.

 

‘To keep an eye on me.’

 

Raymond noticed it and shook his head.

 

‘I won’t miss homework from now on! And now I can read and write!”

 

Raymond tried to deflect the situation with a cute smile.

 

He want enjoy the precious time with his father.

 

“I want to have a nice meal with you. Shall I write a letter?”

 

Raymond lifted his fork again and wrote on the plate by dipping the blueberry puree like a pen in ink.

 

Raymond’s brows were seriously furrowed as he was absorbed in writing.

 

Letters appeared jagged on the white plate.

 

Carnan quietly looked at the words he was writing down.

 

[Dorothea Milanaire.] 

 

Carnan’s face hardened after seeing those words.

 

“This is Dorothy’s name!”

 

Raymond took a plate with Dorothea’s name on it.

 

He held it out to carnan.

 

Even though the letters were jumbled, there were no spelling mistakes.

 

Raymond smiled proudly, revealing his white teeth in front of Carnan.

 

“Your Majesty, can’t Dorothea eat with us now?”

 

He know they can’t eat together every day, because Raymond doesn’t get to eat with Carnan very often.

 

‘But can’t we just be together on special occasions like birthdays?’

 

‘I can bring Dorothea right now!’

 

He looked at Carnan with sparkling eyes.

 

But Carnan’s gaze moved away from him.

 

“I don’t think that’s something to discuss now, Raymond.”

 

“But Your Majesty, Dorothy is so cute, Pretty and smart like mother.”

 

“Raymond.”

 

As soon as the Empress’s story was brought up, Carnan’s voice became colder than ice, so Raymond kept his mouth shut.

 

Although he is only six years old, he is also clever. He knows his father is in a bad mood right now.

 

‘I thought he’d like Dorothy too, since he adored my mother…’ 

 

Raymond thought that when Carnan saw Dorothea, who was as pretty as his mother, he might smile sweetly like before, but apparently not.

 

Raymond tried opened his mouth a few times to say something else.

 

but his voice couldn’t come out; he was cowardly, weak, and stupid.

 

And so, time passed without him mustering up more courage.

 

He visited Dorothea from time to time to spend time with her, but she never seemed to welcome him.

 

Raymond decided to believe that Dorothea was a naturally blunt younger sister.

 

It’s sad to believe that she hates him, that she thinks he’s an idiot and can’t be bothered to deal with him. 

 

He still loves her, but as time goes on, he spends less and less time with her.

 

Especially since he was able to summon the Spirit of Light, he had to take formal crown prince lessons.

 

‘I hate studying!’

 

‘It would be better if they asked smart Dorothea to do it instead of me, the stupid one.’

 

But just being able to control spirits, he had to become the ‘crown prince’. 

 

And one day before his ceremony, he was greeted with the words, “Hello, Your Highness, Crown Prince Raymond Millanaire.”

 

Children of prestigious families, including Theon Fried and Julia Delevine, gathered in Lampas.

 

Raymond was excited to meet his new friends.

 

‘It’s much better to talk and play with people than to study.’

 

‘On days like this, it’s okay to skip studying.’

 

“Nice to meet you! It’s nice to have a new friends!”

 

Raymond was able to spend time with Theon and Julia while Grand Duke Fried talked to Carnan.

 

He showed them the flowers and grasses in his garden.

 

He also bring out the spirit of light they are curious about.

 

While Raymond was having a great time with them, he suddenly thought of Dorothea, who was alone.

 

Dorothea is always alone, No friends, no tutor, never goes out, and never meets anyone.

 

Except for Raymond, no one visits her.

 

Dorothea was rude to him, perhaps because she has no friends and doesn’t know how to treat him.

 

‘Maybe it was because of that.’

 

‘It would be nice if Dorothy had a friend too.’ 

 

A good idea occurred to Raymond. 

 

‘I will Introduce my new friends to Dorothea!’

 

“That’s right! Shall I introduce you to my younger sister?”

 

Raymond asked with sparkling eyes.

 

He hadn’t been able to visit Dorothea the last few days because he was preparing for the crown prince’s ceremony.

 

“My sister, she’s so pretty and smart! She’s the smartest and prettiest person I’ve ever seen in my life.”

 

“Really?”

 

Julia asked curiously, and Theon also nodded.

 

Raymond was already beaming with pride at the thought of introducing Dorothy to his friends.

 

He was confident that hat his friends would immediately fall in love with Dorothea!

 

“Do you want to go see her together?”

 

Raymond wasted no time and rushed to Dorothea’s palace with his friend.

 

He was excited at the thought of meeting his younger sister after a long time.

 

As he entered the Converta Palace with light steps, he saw a nanny in the garden “Wait a minute!”

 

He stopped Theon and Julia outside the garden with the intention of surprising Dorothy.

 

“Dorothy!”

 

He ran to the nanny, but Dorothea, who was supposed to be near her, was nowhere to be seen.

 

“Nanny, where’s Dorothy?”

 

“I don’t know, where did she go.”

 

‘Since the nanny is here, Dorothy must be around here too.’

 

Raymond looked around for Dorothea.

 

“Do you think Dorothy is upset because I didn’t come often these days?”

 

“Of course not!”

 

The nanny laughed.

 

‘I was going to show her how to handle the spirit of light.’ 

 

After awakening the power of the spirit, he couldn’t even show the spirit to Dorothea.

 

they said that Dorothea was a little late to awaken the spirit.

 

Raymond first summoned spirits when he was six years old, but Dorothea said she couldn’t do it yet.

 

Maybe she didn’t realize it because no one taught her.

 

‘It would be nice if we could talk about spirits together!’
