The eminence of a true king

"How could I say that..."

Anis said to herself.

When she found out that the matter was related to Leon, her first reaction was to go back to the palace and burn all the design drawings from that time!

Anis's personal maid Ilya was shocked at the time, thinking that her princess had a falling out with Leon.

After all, she said that she would treasure the results of their joint research for the rest of her life, but she ended up burning them.

"Haha, I just said that I don't need to be nervous, because Nee-san, you definitely won't betray me."

"...Really, you are so cunning. You actually said such words and trusted me so much. But fortunately, I won't let your secret leak."

Anis showed a gentle smile, finally acting like a sister for the first time, and raised her hand to place it on Leon's head and touch the boy's black hair.

"Humph~ If you want to keep your secret, then Leon-chan, please play with me a lot today."

"Yes, there is nothing we can do about it. Nee-san, you caught me. In this case, I can only play with you."

"Hehe~ That's what it has to be! Then let's hold hands, like we did when we were kids."

"OK."

The black prince and golden princess held each other's hands and ran towards the port city not far away.

The two were noble and kind, the scene was as beautiful as a fairy tale.

Wearing exquisite clothes and having a stunning appearance, at such a young age, every movement carried a nobility and elegance that commoners do not have, as if two angels had fallen into the world.

Anis was all smiles.

In fact, if this happened to the third prince, Algard, she would definitely choose to report it to the king.

But Leon is special to her.

In the past, when everyone denied Anis's ideals and thought that she could not use magic and therefore embarked on a heretical path called "magic tool Magica", only Leon was by her side in the entire country.

Although Anis appears callous and doesn't care about anything external, that's just his appearance.

How could she not care...

When everyone around her is denying her ideals, only Leon was willing to support her, only he encouraged her ideals, and only he stood by her side from beginning to end.

Anis was thinking about it at that moment.

Even if it's not because she can use magic, even if it's because of Leon, she must successfully research the magical tools and shut up those who mocked him for staying by her side!

And she knows very well how powerful Leon is.

Regardless of the girls under his command who can defeat a group of royal knights, Leon himself is probably the strongest wizard in the kingdom and has the power to kill anyone without anyone noticing.

But he didn't do that.

Instead, he allowed her to control her weakness and placed her heart in his own hands...

Suddenly, Anis felt that even if she chose to tear her own mouth apart, she would never tell Leon's secret.

"The moment you were willing to stand by me, that also means I will be by your side. I will never let anyone hurt my Leon-chan, absolutely never!"

"Thank you, sister."

"Yes! But, now that I know a little, why don't you tell me everything, Leon-chan, what exactly are you busy with... It's not really a plan to stage a coup if Dad doesn't pass the throne to you in the future?"

"How is it possible? Although I can do it at any time now, I won't. And in the final analysis, the cause of this matter is you, Nee-san."

"Eh? What does that have to do with me!"

Anis was shocked. Why did she even have her own part?

"Nee-san, didn't you bring me a forbidden book back then? That was the beginning of everything. After that, I..."

After Leon explained the matter, Anis was immediately shocked. She never imagined that the fuse in this situation was herself.

Oh, that...

If she told her father this, she believed that she might not be able to see the sun tomorrow, and her mother would definitely beat her to pieces.

And I can also accept Leon's reason for not exposing his identity. There are evil organizations that have been lurking in the shadows of history for thousands of years. I think there are people like them in every country.

"It turns out that's the case. No wonder you've been so busy lately. It turns out that you're secretly fighting a mysterious dark organization... That sounds really cool."

"Haha, that's not the case. The Diablos cult has become more peaceful recently. We're building a new fortress here. I feel relaxed for a while."

"Eh? So every time I come to play with you lately you're not there, what are you doing?"

"Do you really need to ask? It's a blind date."

Leon said matter-of-factly.

"???"

Several question marks appeared in Anis's head. She looked at Leon dumbfounded, a little doubtful of what she had just heard.

"A blind date?!"

"Yes, probably because of your declaration of not getting married, Nee-san, Father is particularly worried about my marriage. I have been busy dealing with the noble daughters recently."

After Leon stretched, he counted them one by one on his fingers.

"Let me think about it, three days ago it was with the eldest daughter of the Gunhild family, seven days ago it was with Asuna of the Yuki family, half a month ago it was with Laura Lawrence of the Lawrence family, and..."

"Wait, wait a minute!!"
