Chapter 30

Once upon a time, there existed a kingdom called Hasetsu, which was located near the northern border of Japan. That kingdom was ruled by King Yurio, who was also Prince Yuri's older brother and an extremely powerful person, so everyone there was aware how much of a danger their brother posed to the royal family of Japan if he ever decided to try to do something stupid. Even the Queen of this kingdom had noticed the growing tension between her son and the younger prince, but none of them had dared to approach either of the two to talk about the situation, so nothing had ever been resolved and no solution was found.

One day, as Yurio was walking to school alone, something unexpected happened: a stranger approached him. The man, dressed in clothes that looked expensive, with his brown hair carefully braided together, was looking at him, seemingly waiting for a reply, which he eventually got when the younger prince stopped dead in his tracks and started looking at him. Then, as soon as the stranger realized that the other boy wasn't talking, he turned around and walked away as if nothing had happened. However, Yurio didn't stop watching him and he didn't let go of this encounter until the other boy had completely disappeared in between the houses.

A few weeks later, another strange incident occurred.
