Chapter 6 - Micaela's Appeal
A few days later since the night that Micaela-san has decided to change this kingdom...
At the assembly hall in the center of the kingdom, there was a meeting. Although...
Member 1: It's true that the hazards are understandable, but if we try to maintain them, it'll cause damage to the bodies of the assigned people...
Member 2: how the miasma can dirty our wings... It's frightening.
Member 3: Also, what are we going to do about the black winged people...
Micaela: Even so, the black winged people aren't that different from us. All this prejudice and discrimination because of that, we must put an end to it all...!
Member 1: Hmm...
While I was in the gallery of the congress hall, I continued to watch Micaela-san and the congress members arguing each other.
(I hope Micaela-san's feelings will get through to them somehow.)
Micaela: Please, everyone, listen to my straightforward opinion.
When Micaela-san stood with his leading argument, he listened to various opinions from the congress members and after he explained the current state of his argument, the patient people agreed...
Chapter 7 - Sudden Uproar
As a result on the first day of talking at the congress meeting, it has been decided that a vote will be held at the congress hall.
Then, a few days later, it was the second day of voting...
MC: It's probably going to be noisy when the results come out soon...
Micaela: Yeah, even though there's still time until the ballots are counted...
When he saw me trembling nervously, he smiled.
Micaela: Shall we go outside to get some fresh air?
MC: ...Sure.
Just as we went outside of the assembly hall...
MC: ...!
In front of the congress hall, there were people with black wings that came from the mountain. Many of them were eagerly waiting for the voting results.
MC: So many people...
Micaela: It's most likely that they want to do something about this issue for his sake...
MC: It seems so, being discriminated for nothing...
After that, a large group of black winged people were waiting in front of the congress hall...
Then, the area became filled...
......
When it became evening, the congress meeting restarted.
MC: ...
Micaela: ...
I held my breath as I waited attentively for the voting results to be read. Then, at that moment...
MC: !?
Suddenly, a loud siren was heard from inside of the quiet congree hall.
MC: This sound is!?
As many people got up and began to run around inside, Micaela-san ran up to me in the gallery with a pale face.
Micaela: MC! Just now, there was a call from the public order division telling us to evacuate from this place.
MC: Eh!? Okay!
When he pulled my hand, we quickly went out of the congress hall and...
MC: !?
I became speechless from what was happening in front of us. In front of the congress hall, the black winged people were quarreling with the white winged people that reside in the Kingdom of Judgement as they were both hurting each other.
Micaela: No!! Stop it! Stop fighting right now!!
Officer: Micaela-sama, this area is dangerous!
Micaela: But, if this keeps up!
When Micaela-san was about to intervene between the people that were fighting, the officers from the public order division frantically stopped him.
(No way...)
I couldn't do anything, but stand still and watch the scene before me...
Last Chapter - Fallen into Sadness
That day, it took a long time to settle the dispute in front of the congress hall and when it was finally taken care of by night, the area became temporarily closed...
I heard the details from a maid when I returned to the castle.
(Micaela-san didn't say anything as we were returning to the castle. He's probably feeling down about it...)
Feeling worried, I went to his room and slowly opened the door.
MC: Micaela-san...?
When I softly knocked and looked inside, Micaela-san was looking outside the window with a sad expression.
Micaela: MC...
At that moment, I saw an old photo in his hand when he got up from the edge of the window.
(This is... From when Micaela-san was a child? Then, the person that looks exactly like him is...)
Micaela: This is my brother, Lucien.
MC: This person is...?
I realized it just as Micaela-san began to talk.
Micaela: My brother's wings turned black... That was a misfortunate incident.
MC: Micaela-san, your brother...
(Has black wings...?)
Micaela: Me, Lucien and one other... We were playing near the restricted area. When we slipped and were about to fall into that area, Lucien saved us and that was when...
He tightly clenched his fist due to his regret from long ago.
(...From something like that.)
Micaela: ...That's why, I don't want anymore discrimination. My brother, who has the same eyes as me, I haven't been able to see him since then...
MC: So, that's why you were so serious about that...
Just as he was about to continue talking, I placed my hand on his pale fist.
Micaela: MC...
His pained face slightly softened up. Although, he quietly looked at the town.
Micaela: As the person who governs this kingdom's judgement, I, the prince, make all the decisions. I keep going with everyone's consent till the end, but...
HIs pained tone made my chest tighten.
Micaela: I'm sure that the incident just now has put the black winged people in an even worse position. They're going to start announcing their banishment...
MC: That can't be...
Micaela-san strongly held my hand.
Micaela: So... it can't... be helped.
The grim resolution that's been hidden this whole time was showing in his eyes...
A few days later...
Micaela-san gave an order as the prince of Arbitro at the congress meeting.
Micaela: ...From now on, I'm ordering my troops to take control of the restricted area. If harm comes to those with black wings, I won't let that slide. With this new rule, the establishment can continue.
Member 1: No way...! Didn't you see it too, Micaela-sama? The black winged people were so violent!!
Member 2: Also, the restricted area is dangerous! If they get too close to it...
Micaela: ...I've already made my decision!
When many opinions were raised, Micaela-san stubbornly gave in... The congress ended up adjourning his idea...
......
By the time he returned to the castle, he looked exhausted.
MC: Are you okay...?
Micaela: ...MC. Sorry for making you worried.
My heart throbbed from his helpless smile.
MC: U-Um...
At that moment.
MC: Micaela-san?
His soft blonde hair was on top of my shoulder.
Micaela: I just wanted everyone to agree... I just wanted them to understand...
After he softly murmured that, it was overflowing with silence...
Micaela: Sorry... This is my... It's just a favor I'm asking from you. Today... I want you to come to my room...
Then, he hung his head down as he went into the castle and disappeared. I watched him as his back got smaller...
......
When night came, I headed to his room with complicated feelings.
(Micaela-san... I wonder how much his gentle heart has gotten hurt...)
My heart felt pain when I remembered how helpless he looked as he hung his head down.
After thinking of that, I arrived at his room and quietly opened the door.
MC: Micaela-san...? I'm coming in.
No response came from inside the dark room. Among the dim light, I saw his chest going up and down quietly on top of the bed.
MC: Micaela-sa- Ah!
The next moment, his hand pulled me and I ended up falling on top of him...
Micaela: MC...
MC: Eh...?
His pale eyes were shining sorrowfully as the moonlight was reflected in them. As I was surprised by that empty expression, I became worried.
MC: You're Micaela-san... Right?
Micaela: Yeah...
When he quietly blinked, he looked up at me.
MC: Are you okay? You're not acting your usual self...
Micaela: I couldn't do it... But, there was no other way...
MC: Eh...?
I looked at him as he said that with repentance.
Micaela: It's painful... MC... Please... Just for today, comfort me...
MC: ...
I couldn't say anything as he had that lonely sad look in his eyes.
(Despite being the kindest out of anyone... he's the one who's in the most pain.)
The hurt angel tightly gripped my wrist.
Micaela: MC... No?
MC: Micaela-san...
Instead of nodding, I placed a kiss on his forehead as an answer... In order to heal his wound, I will give him affection as much as he wants... I hugged him until the night has ended...
