Ch. 1: Violin at Twilight
Kingdom of Telsot in the Land of Poison, Month of Blue…-
The raindrops clinging to the leaves glistened in the light of the setting sun.
It’s so pretty…
I looked up at the crimson sky, having arrived at the place I was to meet Raith in his kingdom.
We were meeting here, right?
After the rain, the town was bustling.
On the opposite side of the street, a violinist was playing a beautiful melody, and a crowd of people had gathered around them.
It’s a lovely song…
Huh?
Looking at the violinist, I was certain I had seen them somewhere before.
OO: "Excuse me."
Pushing through the crowd, I came to the front and…
OO: "Ah!?"
An exclamation of surprise escaped my lips.
The sound of the violin stopped, and the face that turned towards me was lit up with a smile.
Raith: "OO!"
OO: "Raith…!"
I couldn’t hide my surprise at seeing a prince of the kingdom behaving so casually.
Raith: "I played while I was waiting for you, and people just kind of started to gather. Wait just a minute. Everyone is enjoying it so much, I’ll just do one more song."
With a carefree smile, he once again drew the bow across the violin.
A lively melody flowed out, and one by one the people started to dance.
Wow…
In the midst of the crowd, I watched as Raith joyfully played his violin.
It almost looks like he’s glowing.
The setting sun was wrapped in the notes of a kind melody.
