Julius:  "You seem closer to him than most of us.” At the Sword Saint’s name, all the sadness vanished from Julius’s face. "Reinhard? He and I have a long history, much like you and your prince.” He brushed his bangs aside and looked into the distance as if thinking back. “It’s almost ten years since we first met. But it was only after we both became knights that we grew to be friends. We aren’t blessed with quite as many good memories as you and His Highness.”

Ferris:  “You mean you just knew each other in passing, as fellow nobles?”

Julius:  “Maybe, maybe not. I knew who he was, but I’m not sure he knew who I was. Because he was so special to me, I was particularly happy to be able to become friends with him.”

Ferris:  “Special, huh…?” There was nothing deeper in the friendship between Julius and Reinhard. And yet, neither was it quite possible to declare it mere friendship. But Ferris was not yet close enough to Julius to ask about such things—that was how much he valued Julius Juukulius. The two of them found they had chatted all the way to the castle. They greeted the guards and the officials on duty, and then they came to the staircase that led to the castle’s upper levels, where Fourier and the other members of the royal family lived. They told the men guarding the staircase who they were and where they were going and were quickly allowed in. They ascended the stairs that led to the royal chambers and proceeded down a carpeted hallway. Ferris found the room they wanted and used the door knocker. “Your Highness!” he said in a singsong tone. “Just as you asked, your dear Ferri has arrived!”

Julius:  The greeting caused Julius to put his palm to his forehead. “Ferris, however close you may be, that’s… Well, I suppose it’s too late now.” He shrugged, and at the same instant, the door opened.

Fourier:  Bounding out of the room came a young man with golden hair and clear scarlet eyes: Fourier Lugunica, fourth prince of the kingdom. He looked from Ferris to Julius, then laughed, showing his teeth. “Are you going to let him off that easy? That means trouble for me! If that’s all you’re going to do, why even have you keeping an eye on him?”

Fourier:  “Ahh, never mind! Welcome, both of you. Are you both in good health?”

Julius:  “I have been most well, my lord. Your consideration humbles me.”

Ferris:  “…says Julius.”

Fourier:  “But we just saw you two days ago, didn’t we? We’ve hardly had long enough to get sick!”

Fourier:  “I see, maybe so. But if you’re well, that’s all that matters. Anyway, there’s much to talk about, but let’s not do it out here. Come in, both of you.” Fourier gestured them into his room.
