Tatsumi had to fend off the urge to release a sigh.

It had been a few days since his brother's coronation, and since then, Tatsumi has spent countless hours in the throne room listening to many nobles, and soldiers pledge their allegiance to Numa.

After the second day though, Tatsumi had to ask his brother why he needed to be there, and the reason why was to show that he was loyal to him.

Apparently, there was a group of nobles who didn't want Numa sitting on the throne, so to prevent them from scheming something he wanted Tatsumi to attend these that way they couldn't use him as their figurehead.

Now, he didn't understand how they'd use him as their figurehead, but he decided not to ask because he was pretty sure he would just end up annoying his older brother.

As he listened to the Lord, Tatsumi put his head on his right hand and closed his eyes a little.

The thought of taking a nap appealed him, and he wanted to rest, but he knew if he did then he would end up causing problems for himself.

Practically the entire kingdom's eyes were on him. Everyone was wondering what he has become over his years of being away, and what his intentions are.

He had thought he made his intentions clear at Numa's coronation and his father's funeral, but some people weren' convinced.

At least that's what Numa believed.

Because of this belief, Tatsumi had suggested that he give up his claim on the throne, but Numa was surprisingly against that. He didn't state his reasons why he was against that, but he did tell Tatsumi that wasn't an option.

After about a minute of having his eyes close, he heard Numa speak. "Thank you, Lord Astaroth, it brings me joy knowing that you have a lot of trust in me. I will do my best to not disappoint you, or your family."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Spoke the middle-aged man with a deep and respectful bow. As he rose, he sent the black-robed prince who had a large bird on his shoulder a look. "It is also good to see that you are alive and well as well, your highness. When I had heard you had returned, I was a bit surprised, but I am glad you are back."

"... Thank you, Lord Astaroth." Tatsumi said after a few seconds of silence.

With Tatsumi not saying anything else to the old man, Numa's hand dismissed him, and summoned the next one forward.

And thus, Tatsumi was forced to listen to another person praise his father, and talk about how they were going to be very devoted to his brother.

As the man talked, Tatsumi cast Numa's hand a glance and couldn't help but wonder how he was able to stand all this time.
