Chapitre 72: Left Behind

Princess Kondo Ayumi sat at the edge of her room while gazing out the window, up into the stars above. There was a look of utter depression on the young Oni beauty's face, as she avoiding looking directly at the man who stood behind her while wearing a military uniform.

Like the young princess, this man had white skin with indigo hair and deep amber eyes. There was a hint of sadness in his voice as he said goodbye to his most beloved little sister. Knowing that there was entirely a possibility that he would never return to her alive. 

"Ayumi, I am sorry that I won't be able to fulfill my promise to you, but as the Crown Prince of the Empire, it is my responsibility to lead our men to war. You know what rank I hold in the Navy, and what responsibilities come with it! Please forgive me…."
