We are told that the late king's brother, Roig Isle-Sky, was a windy man who loved freedom.

He loved music, painting, and other arts, and above all, he loved magic more than learning imperial sciences.

He was not so talented in the martial arts that his tutor gave up on him, but he was quite good in the field of magic.

However, Loïgue's magical abilities were never put to use.

Needless to say, the reason for this is that he is a prince.

Loig was kind and always wanted to use the magic he had been given for the benefit of his people.

It is said that his brother Clyde sometimes rebuked him and sometimes comforted him.

However, Roig finally lost his patience and ran away at the age of 18.

It is said that it was difficult to follow him, as he had made careful preparations in advance.

And then, the months passed.

The reunion of the brothers came in the worst possible way.

An adventurer delivered Roig's corpse.

It seems that he had been a fellow adventurer of Roig's and had witnessed his death.

Clyde was able to hear from him about Loig's life as an adventurer.

Loig had changed his name to Charles Howard and was working as a wizard adventurer.

He was called "Charles the Pillar of Fire," and was a successful adventurer in his own right.

However, he was injured while defending the town from monsters, but he continued to fight and died when he succeeded in defending the town.

He was praised as a hero by the townspeople and his friends, but Clyde could do nothing but shed tears for his brother, who had died and been reunited with him as a brother.

That was more than ten years ago.

"But seeing Sam reminds me of my brother."

King Clyde, who sometimes shared his memories of his brother with us as he looked around the house, let out these words.

"Is Master Sam like Master Roig?"

It's, uh, an honor.

The house had been uninhabited for many years, yet it was so meticulously maintained that not a speck of dust had fallen.

The size of the house is slightly larger than that of the Countess Walker.

There are few ornaments and paintings on the walls, but even the untrained eye can tell that each of them is expensive.

The king's brother must have been a man of good taste.

"Hmm. Loïgue was no good with a sword either. We once learned swordsmanship together, but his mistakes nearly killed me several times. I was furious at the time, but it's a good memory now. It really was a matter of talent or lack thereof."

"Well, father. You look like a...

"Just like Sam, right?"

Stella reacts with surprise to Clyde's recollections.

Indeed, he seems to be a man without the same talent with the sword as Sam.

"I didn't know there was anyone else like that.

In a way, I'm impressed.

It is as if I am cursed to be unable to use a sword, and the fact that there is someone like me makes me laugh with bewilderment.

If he were still alive, I would have loved to talk with him.

"Roig had a talent for magic, but not as much as Sam. But he was easily liked and people naturally gathered around him. He would have been a better king than I am."

Clyde reminisces about the past.

"But there was a side of him that didn't like conflict. Perhaps it is because our mother had a hard time because of the power struggles. ...... I think it is because of this that Roig, and not me, did not want to be carried up by the nobles and disappeared to avoid a conflict. But for his brother, it would have been a great opportunity. He has wanted to be an adventurer for a long time."

"You wanted your freedom."

"Yes. But when he came back dead, there were no words. With no one to love and no heir, he continued to fight for someone else - or perhaps there was someone he loved that I did not know.

I'm sorry.

If you listen to Clyde's words, you can tell that the brothers were close.

Therefore, I can only imagine how sad Clyde must have been when Roig left to avoid a power struggle between the brothers and came back as a corpse.

"No, it was ten years ago. --No, it's been ten years since I last saw you..." - he was deeply moved by the sight of your dark hair and dark eyes. But you really do look alike. The dark eyes, the dark hair, but also the atmosphere.

"Father, did Master Roig have black hair?"

It was Stella who asked.

She was probably wondering if Loïgue had silver hair, which always appeared on royalty.

"He had black hair with a hint of silver in it. It was black at first glance, but in the light of day I could see it clearly. Perhaps I like Sam more because he resembles my late brother than because he will be my son-in-law.

The king laughed, but when he realized that he had been speaking out of turn, he gave a small cough.

"I am sorry. I should have shown you the house first.

No, it was valuable. If you don't mind, I would like to know more about you, Mr. Roig.

I would be interested too.

"Oh, yeah? Then there are other places that hold memories for me. Let's move on."

Clyde took Sam and Stella on a tour of the house, talking about his memories of his late brother.
