Chapter 431.1: Morris's Case
Peace is always broken abruptly.
The news of his death came from the city system while I, Morris Code, am at my base, worrying for the first time in a long time about problems unrelated to my fear of death.
The news of the King’s demise is announced simultaneously through the city’s systems. But I am far more calm than I had expected, even though this message has given me nightmares until just a short time ago.
Who should I side with, should I take the throne, how can I avoid being killed, all these thoughts I have been pondering for so long finally came to a conclusion.
――I will side with Alisha.
Needless to say, the trigger for this decision is Alisha Code’s sightseeing tour, which she has been doing for the past few days.
I was monitoring her the whole time. Alisha really looked like she was enjoying herself while touring the city with her friends.
She didn’t resent her upbringing, nor did she curse the fate that awaited her in the future, which was far more tragic than mine, but she was truly happy to explore the city of Code. Seeing that smile, I felt ashamed of myself for living in hiding, afraid of my brother who would soon take the throne. And at the same time――I wanted to help Alisha.
If things continue as they were, she would be disposed of as soon as the battle for the throne begins. Although she has been released from confinement and irregularities have occurred, my Imouto will need some strength. And I have that strength.
