Abel was the one who wanted to turn his back on reality the most. He wanted to run away with the prince. He wanted to hide somewhere, live in the forest, eat what he could find, and be poor but live in nature. Then he thought he might be able to hear the prince’s laughter that he had never heard before.8a12b675d3ae890d
However, Abel suppressed all these desires and turned his gaze to the sky. Faintly, a horn-like sound could be heard from afar. As if changing the mood, he turned his brightened face to the sky and listened carefully. The sound was clearly the cry of a hawk. Abel’s wandering eyes soon spotted the hawk swiftly descending from the distant sky, and he exclaimed with excitement.98216515a54e77a8

When the 91721f09ad prince raised 3d3a41660b his head, 2575c64fa3 Abel pointed 765bba0616 to the 0fea6cb2c3 sky with 0414c7d0fa his hand, d80aedb02c afraid that ab1a28f6b1 he might f4f0e3d1a4 not be 1de1b9a370 able to 609738616e find it.7979154c32179bfe

“When the hawk brings a special herb to its nest. That fragrant grass is an herb that prevents the hawk from getting sick even when it eats raw meat. Isn’t it amazing? Even though it’s not a creature that lives on the ground, it manages to find that precious grass. Sometimes animals can be wiser than humans. Sometimes, when humans mishandle the meat they eat, it can go bad. In those cases, it’s said that if you find the hawk’s nest and eat that herb together, it will be fine.”6825c41da107ed99
The hawk had disappeared into the distance at a fast speed, but the two couldn’t take their eyes off the sky. The prince was the first to turn his head in the calm sky. Since meeting in the morning, he had tried not to leave Abel’s side, but surprisingly, he stood up and showed his back to Abel first. What’s going on? Abel was surprised and tried to stand up, but his ears and eyes reacted before he did.1b562c2b687886a2

The child was protecting Abel from the king. For whatever reason, the prince harbored hostility towards the king. What was interesting was the king’s reaction. Despite his son’s guarded expression, he smiled instead. In Abel’s eyes, it was a twisted smile.83eb475a6ffe0973
