I didn''t know my parents at all.


    When I can remember, I was already scavenging for trash in the underground city.


    The King''s Landing is a beautiful city in the front, but the back side is so dirty that I doubt it''s a different city.


    Every country or town has a beautiful front and a dirty back.


    I was born and raised on the other side of the street.


    This is why I disliked King''s Landing and this country.


    There were all kinds of people in the underground city.


    I don''t know if it was a mistake to come from the surface of the city, but they were tumbling down from there.


    People who got injured somewhere and couldn''t work anymore.


    Others, like me, may have been abandoned by their parents, but found themselves in the underground mall.


    We all had no light in our eyes.


    Maybe it was on before we came to the underground mall, but you can''t see the light in the underground mall.


    There is nothing there, and I''m just trying to get by one day at a time.


    I was still better off there.


    I had a few friends who were born and raised in the underground mall and were in the same boat as me.


    I was able to work together with them to get by, but that life was soon cut short.


    However, that life was soon cut short.


    They are dying and disappearing one by one.


    There are many reasons why they die.


    Because they have food, others have taken it from them and killed them.


    They were killed because they were laughing, because they were annoyed by people who were annoyed with them.


    I was a powerless child, me and all my friends.


    We were the kind of kids who would be killed by hungry, powerless adults in the underground mall.


    When it came to the kids who were disappearing, I think that was a worse reason than death.


    Kids who are in the underground city and have good looks and such are kidnapped and sold into slavery.


    Most of the children who disappeared were probably kidnapped by those kidnappers.


    They may not be dead yet, but it seems that in most cases, slaves would rather die than live their lives.


    I was also targeted by kidnappers, but I escaped with my life.


    But I didn''t have any more energy left when I escaped, and I collapsed in the underground mall.


    People in the underground shopping mall rarely help people who have collapsed.


    They don''t have time to worry about others.


    I''ve been able to survive because I''ve been taking care of myself instead of helping the people who are down.


    That''s why I knew I was going to die when I fell.


    "Kid, you alive?　If you''re alive, look up.


    I heard a voice from directly above me, so when I realized I was being spoken to, I looked up quickly, startled.


    I didn''t expect to be accosted by anyone.


    I looked up, and beyond that, I saw a man with a sharp-eyed evil look on his face.


    Was it the kidnappers who had come to kidnap me?


    I thought so, but the action he took was completely different.


    I''m sure you''re not the only one who has that kind of face. If you want to live, eat this.


    The man offered me a loaf of bread, and I didn''t understand why he was offering it to me when I didn''t want anything in return.


    I don''t know why I would offer it to him, as I didn''t expect anything in return.


    But I was so hungry that I felt like I was going to die, so I took the bread and devoured it without thinking about it.


    "Haha, a kid with that much energy is just fine!


    The man - Brother Felix, he said and smiled like an evil man.


    After I recovered, I decided to follow Felix.


    There were no more friends in the underground city, and there was no point in staying.


    It was the first time he had ever been to King''s Landing, and he wanted to see the underground mall on his way there, so he stopped by and found me.


    My brother and I went to the capital and many other villages and settlements.


    He was determined to crush the current state and make himself king.


    The current king cleans up the front and pretends not to see the back side. If that''s the case, I''ll rule this country and erase the front and back sides.


    The idea is to create a nation of weak and strong people, like a nation of demons.


    The strong and capable people will stand on top and lead the country.


    The weak ones are not allowed to remain weak. I don''t like weak people, but I don''t hate people who try to be strong.


    In his brother''s own way, he was thinking about the weak people.


    When he became king, he would make weak people and those who didn''t want to fight make things for them.


    He also said that he would build schools and other facilities for those who were weak and wanted to become soldiers and so on.


    ''The country doesn''t have wars now, and that''s why there''s conflict in the country because it''s peaceful. If we fought other countries, that wouldn''t happen. I won''t let it happen.


    I don''t know about you, but your brother worked hard to become a king.


    Once, he challenged the king and lost.


    But he never gave up and kept getting stronger, and as a result, he was able to defeat the king in a landslide.


    I remember my brother was very unhappy when he won.


    That bastard''s even weaker than the last time I lost!　You''ve been fighting the weak ones!　f*ck you!　What do you think I''m strong for!


    That''s what he shouted as he broke down the walls of the king''s castle and other places where he fought with the king.


    And after he fought and won, he went right into action to become king.


    The Kingdom of Begonia, the neighboring human kingdom where the king lost to his brother is a close friend of the king. Fall there.


    In order to do so, he had to destroy some village, so his brother went to that village alone.


    So my brother went to the village alone.


    ''Nina, I''m going to go. I''ll be back soon, just wait for me.


    Shouldn''t I be there?


    There''s no need for that. It''s just a matter of time before that deserted village gets destroyed.


    All right. Bye, brother.


    Then he waved his hand and smiled with the same wicked smile as when we first met.


    ''''Yeah, this is going to change this country. I''ll rule this country, you know.


    And then my brother went off, ignoring what the villagers were saying to him.


    That was the last time I saw him.


    ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇


    Nina, who had been looking somewhere far away until now after she finished speaking, looked me in the eye.


    ''By your brother, you won, didn''t you?''


    Yeah, we won.


    How was your brother''s final days?　What did he say?


    I can see his eyes growing moist as he looks at me.


    ''He said he enjoyed the fight.


    Well I''m happy for you, my brother. We had a fun fight at the end...


    I couldn''t look at Nina as she said this in a trembling voice, and I couldn''t look at her.


    For a few minutes, I heard a sobbing sound on Nina''s part.
