The demon princess was defeated and captured? Sorry, I acted in it)

That means the third princess is beautiful and has a pair of emerald eyes, but unfortunately, she is not much better than having facial paralysis.

Anna is in charge of taking care of Livra.

Although Anna also thought that this princess was strange...

But unlike the ridicule of the world, she only felt sad.

In the children's book

At this age when he should be the most mischievous and playful, His Highness has nothing to do every day except learning royal etiquette. When he returns to his bedroom, he sits in the middle of the yard and looks up at the sky for several hours. Then he packs up his things and goes back to his room to sleep without anyone's care.

——At the same time, there is no happiness at all.

When Anna asked what toys Her Royal Highness wanted, Livra shook her head blankly and said she didn't want anything.

She didn't need it, but Anna still went to the yard and caught a bird for her.

She hopes that this little bird can grow with Her Highness and bring her some happiness.

In fact, it actually worked.

Although Livra still had no expression, she looked at the little bird in the cage and actually took the initiative to walk over and talk to it, even though she herself might not understand what she said. The bird tilted its head and chirped in response, which was also meaningless.

Even so, the young girl felt the charm of communication for the first time.

From then on, Livra would take the little bird with her wherever she went.

There was no need to keep it in a cage, and the bird would not fly away, but would land on Livra's shoulder to keep her company.

It was like the sky that Livra often looked up at.

The sky responded to her by dropping a white feather, making the originally unreachable existence gradually understandable to each other.

Anna felt that she saw hope.

She kept encouraging Her Royal Highness the Princess not only to talk to the birds, but also to follow the trend and occasionally communicate with other children of the same age.

But unfortunately, Princess Livra still doesn't seem to have that intention.

She shook her head and held the bird in her arms, as if to show off her friend to Anna.

Hmm... Your Highness the Princess is very powerful, right?

Even though it's just a little bird, Your Highness has successfully made his first good friend in life.

Anna originally thought that as long as she gave Her Royal Highness the Princess some time, everything would get better.

until once.

The Royal Palace Procession.

It was on a whim that His Majesty the King decided to go hunting in the neutral area on the border between the Kingdom and the Demons. He went out with a large convoy and brought along several of his beloved children to go hunting with him on the border of the Demons.

By the way, let them experience the harsh environment of the border which is different from the royal capital in advance.

Princess Livra, who was only seven years old at the time, also went on the tour with His Majesty the King's motorcade.

Of course, Anna, who was taking care of the princess as her attendant, also came along, as did Her Highness's favorite little bird, and they were also fortunate enough to see the vast world outside the royal capital together.

The parade went smoothly.

It was almost the day before we had to return to the capital.

There are always unexpected events...

There was heavy rain overnight, which washed away the mountain where the convoy was stationed and caused a mudslide.

Fortunately, the strong men who were protecting the royal family in the convoy used magic to intercept and stop the mudslide, and no damage was caused. However, this sudden natural disaster temporarily dispersed Princess Livra's convoy and the main force.

Misfortune never comes singly.

While waiting for the main force to send people to search for them, this scattered convoy encountered a group of bandits.

There were not many soldiers guarding Livra, but they fought hard and inflicted heavy damage on the bandits. However, they were outnumbered in the end. When the last soldier fell, only the young Livra and Anna, who was holding the princess tightly in her arms, were left outside the broken convoy.

The bandits had suffered heavy losses and were already angry, but when their leader saw the royal emblem on the convoy, he was overjoyed!

【Hahaha! It's worth it! What did we run into? It looks like this is the little princess of the kingdom? Brothers! Come with me to capture her and ask the king for a huge ransom. From now on, we will hide in the border of the demon clan. They dare not do anything to us! Uh... Why doesn't this little bastard know how to cry? It's really weird.】

Livra looked at the blood all over the ground. The blood on the sword even splashed onto her expressionless face.

For the first time, she felt uncomfortable in her heart.

Someone died to protect me...and I had no power to change the outcome.

All I can do is sit here and watch them fall down and die one by one.

But she didn't know how to cry.

If you cry...will everyone come back?

I always feel a little sad...

She only remembered that Anna protected her tightly and warned the bandits who were approaching this side at the top of her voice.

[You thieves... retreat quickly! Do you know who she is... Aren't you afraid that His Majesty the King will tear you into pieces! ]

They were not afraid because the bandits lived on the edge of a knife and licked blood.

Seeing the knife

The blade is about to fall towards this side.

Anna was ready to die together with the bandits. She quietly clenched the broken blade in her hand, determined to die together with whoever came.

But at the critical moment...

——The bird on Livra’s shoulder flew away.

A white feather passed by Livra's eyes.

At that moment, she seemed to see the clear and deep sky again.

The bird pecked at the bandit leader's head with all its might, which made the bandits lose their composure for a moment. They didn't expect a bird to suddenly appear from nowhere.

The friend who has never really "communicated" with Livra...

It seems to understand everything.

But how can a small bird stop the bandits?

The impatient bandit leader angrily grabbed the flying bird and smashed it to the ground.

All the sounds in the world...seemed to stop at that moment.

It was motionless.

White feathers were scattered all over the ground.

The last low hum seemed to be calling to the sky, and also seemed to be saying the final goodbye to its friend Livra.

"Little...bird?"

The bandits were still cursing.

[Tsk, what the hell, wasting my time here, damn it. ]

Livra just felt...she couldn't hear anything at that time.

The rumbling thunder and the shaking of the earth all became lifeless.

Because she cried.

It is more dull than the rumbling thunder and more drizzling than the torrential rain.

Livra cried out for the first time in her life, and it was heartbreaking.

She covered her face and cried, calling out "bird".

But suddenly I realized that I didn't even have time to give it a name.

——Is your name Livra?

——What is my name?

So this is what the bird meant when it said that to her.

The crying shocked the dark sky, and a loud thunder appeared from the sky.

The bandit leader looked up and wondered why the weather was so abnormal today.

But found...

The golden lightning actually struck straight towards them!

[Get out of the way!! Get out of the way! Ahhhhh...!!!]

Avoid it.

The lightning seemed to have life. It avoided Livra and Anna and burned all the bandits into charcoal without even giving them time to scream.

The lightning also avoided one thing.

——It was the white feathers all over the ground.

Livra doesn't remember much now.

But she will never forget...the girl who landed lightly on the ground as if she was walking on lightning and wind.

With silver hair, she dances like a phoenix.

Obviously she doesn't look much older than Livra.

But the figure who turned around and stretched out his hand was extremely majestic.

I can no longer remember what she looked like.

What I remember is that she was smiling.

What I remember is what she said as she patted her head.

[Phew... It was a close call, I almost missed it. I said this area is not safe! Are you guys okay? Huh? Why is there a crybaby here? Tsk... I have a sister who also likes to cry... It's really troublesome, I'm not good at comforting children. ]

[That emblem... is it of the royal family? Oh... what a sin. Never mind, there is no one else here anyway. Listen to my advice, little guy, don't cry, no matter if you lost a friend or a loved one, don't cry, crying won't solve the problem.]

【You need to become stronger. 】

[Be strong enough to protect your friends and prevent this from happening again. Look, if I hadn't come, you would have been finished, right? So I can protect my family! Hee... So you have to work hard too, little guy! In order not to be sad. Ah... I call this, punishing evil and promoting good! ]

——Punish evil and promote good.

This word has always been engraved in Livra's heart.

The moment she stopped crying, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up.

A rainbow of seven colors rose in the sky, and at the same time, the shouts of the convoy looking for Livra had already echoed in the distant mountains. Anna, who was frightened and dazed, finally reacted and called for help to the convoy, shouting that Her Royal Highness the Princess was right here!

At the same time, the silver-haired girl who came on thunder and lightning left in a hurry.

She flew up into the sky, as if merging into one with the sky, and disappeared.

Is that... an angel?

Is it an angel from the bird's world?

It must be...

Livra wiped away the tears from her eyes.

She picked up the white feathers on the ground, carefully

He carefully wrapped her in the handkerchief in his arms.

Later, Livra buried the handkerchief in the courtyard in front of her bedroom.

Later on, there were more and more birds singing in the yard.

Livra would often lie in the yard with her eyes closed, recalling the words of the silver-haired girl that year.

Touch the soil on the ground and recall the sounds of birds.
