Novel The Great Wish Volume 1

Chapter 1 - The Crown Princess's Dream

Part 2

He is five years older than her. Although he became her brother, Sienna had never thought of Dyan in that way. He is considered to be half-royal because his mother's status is low. Therefore, Sienna is higher in the line of succession.

Sienna's eyes fell on Dyan's hair. He had half of the characteristics of the Imperial family. The words her mother, Patricia, spoke to her rang in her ears. Somehow she felt displeased, and Sienna turned around.

"Sienna!"

Sienna frowned when she heard a voice calling behind her. They weren't close enough to call each other by their first names. Even though he saw Sienna's stiff expression, Dyan continued to smile.

"It's been a while. Has it been 6 years?"

'It's has been 7 years.' Sienna replied in her mind.

Dyan did not grow up in the Imperial Palace as a child. 7 years ago, the emperor's fully-grown son suddenly appeared, causing an uproar in the Imperial Palace.

Dyan was older than Sienna and had God beings's characteristics. Seeing that, the Emperor recognized him as the Prince without question. As a result, Sienna's strong position almost shook.

But in the end, the uproar subsided. The line of succession was determined by the mother's status, but Dyan would not reveal his mother's identity.

Sienna looked at Dyan, who was now a grown man. And Sienna recalled her memories from 7 years ago.

7 years ago, Sienna secretly went to see Dyan. She was curious about her sudden older brother. She was at an age where she was curious. She was hiding and spying, but she was caught by Dyan. And then they began to talk, she seemed to enjoy talking with Dyan, who treated her without hesitation.

However, Sienna's disappearance caused a commotion. Even the knights were mobilized to find her. In the end, she just had to spend a short time with Dyan and return to the Palace with the knights. That was her first and last meeting with Dyan.

Is Prince Dyan going to be my older brother?

She asked Patricia, and it caused Patricia to go on a rampage.

Older Brother! How can a half-blood person become the brother of an Imperial Princess?!

Patricia did not hide her anger and annoyance.

You are a God beings. You are of a different class than that half-blood.

Do not even think about getting close to him. He grew up outside of the Imperial Palace. He will be harmful to you, Princess.

You are the one who will become the Emperor. If you associate yourself with someone like that, your dignity will drop.

Princess, he will try to take advantage of you in any way possible. You must never get involved with him.

Patricia spoke harshly about Dyan whenever she had the opportunity. As time passed, Patricia mentioned Dyan less often, but now Sienna ignored Dyan's existence. She decided that it was not a relationship that would benefit her from being close.

And then, she hadn't seen Dyan since that day 7 years ago. The Imperial Palace was spacious. If one did not purposely try to meet someone, there was no way they would cross paths.

"This is a nice place to take a walk, right? It's quiet and there are no eyes around. I just enjoying some tea over here. Would you like to join me?"

Sienna narrowed her eyes and glared at Dyan, who spoke to her in a shameless manner. She doesn't know where to start to point out his rudeness. Did he not receive any etiquette training? Even though he was only half of his blood, he was of His Majesty's blood. But, he spoke in a frivolous and light manner.

"No, thank you."

Sienna turned around.

"Princess Sienna!"

She heard him calling for her again, but this time she didn't turn around.

As she walked along the Labyrinth Garden, Sienna chuckled without realizing it. And then she blushed and cleared her throat.

It's been 7 years. It's been a long time, and Dyan's appearance has changed a little, but his attitude is the same as when we first met. 7 years ago, he talked to her amicably, smiling brightly. At the warm memory, Sienna couldn't keep a straight face and cracked a smile.

"She's left."

Dyan felt disappointed. The unexpected encounter with his half-sibling surprised him, but he didn't hate it. He was rather happy.

However, if he were to share his true feelings with those around him, he would be scolded for being a lesser person. So, Dyan always hid his soft feelings.

"I thought it was just a palace attendant......"

The black-haired man who had been silently watching the conversation between brother and sister muttered. Dyan agreed.

"Who would have thought that the Princess would appear here?"

"She really glared at you fiercely."

Dyan looked at Kuhn and grinned. He asked as if trying to figure out what was going on.

"You're the one who's been staring at her. Isn't she pretty?"

The black-haired man answered nonchalantly.

"She is indeed a beauty."

"When she was young, she looked just like a doll. But now, I can see why everyone makes such a fuss about her beauty that was made in heaven. No. Since she is a God being, it is not wrong to say that she fell from heaven."

"No matter how beautiful a jewel is, it is just a cold stone."

Dyan clicked his tongue at Kuhn.

"Says the materialist who would happily take the jewel over a rose."

Kuhn pretended not to hear that and changed the subject.

"Are you on bad terms with the Princess?"

"What’s there to be bad about? I haven't even talked to her properly."

"So, the Princess just hates you then."

"It hurts when you say it out loud like that."

Kuhn chuckled. This guy's nerves are tougher than thick leather. He himself doesn't know what's really inside that smiling mask.

"Rather than hating me, it would be more like despising me."

"What's the difference?"

"She's ashamed of my existence because half of my blood is vulgar. I'm a half-blood."

No matter how low-ranking a prince Dyan is, he is still the emperor's son. No one openly insulted him. Even though everyone may say that he is half-blood behind his back, no one says such things in front of him.

Although he used self-deprecating expressions without hesitation, Dyan spoke as if he were talking about someone else. There was no anger or hurt anywhere on his face.

"I don't particularly hold any ill will for the Princess. I don't want to have a bad relationship with her either."

"You say that so easily. Would the princess think that way too? If you steal the throne that is meant to be hers, she will rush to kill you."

Dyan sighed deeply.

"You won’t believe it, but I’m not actually that ambitious."

Dyan thought Kuhn might laugh, but Kuhn listened with a serious attitude.

"People think the Emperor has everything, but do you know how many duties he has? You know that well since you are the leader of the clan. You know how troublesome it can be."

Knew. He knew it very well.

So Kuhn could not understand why anyone would unsheathe his sword to become King. Why did they even want that position?

From the moment he was born, he carried the heavy burden of his clan's fate on his shoulders. By the time he wondered, ‘Why do I have to live so hard like this?’ but it was already too late. There were too many people who looked at his back and followed him.

"When I first found out that the Emperor was my father, the first thought I had was 'Then, I can play and eat what I want for the rest of my life'."

These were words that would have been shocking to the loyalists who followed Dyan as their master. Kuhn was the only person Dyan revealed his true feelings.

"But it can’t continue like this. Princess Sienna doesn't know the world. She has never been outside of this spacious Imperial Palace. Once the Princess becomes emperor, nothing will change."

The Holy Empire ruled the world, and the Empire's master was none other than the Emperor. However, the ones who actually governed the subjects of the Empire were the feudal lords and the kings. The Emperor of the Empire never took a single step outside the safe palace.

In the first place, it is impossible for one person to examine every corner of the world. It would be an inevitable choice for the emperor to select people who would be his eyes and entrust them with a certain area.

But that didn't mean the Emperor should learn how the world worked only through books or someone's stories, Dyan thought.

"Everything is for the greater good?"

"It’s not that noble. I just want something to change."

Dyan was never too serious or too easygoing. It would have been difficult to maintain a balance between the two, but he managed to remain in the center.

If Dyan had said, ‘Follow me!’ as if he were the only one who could be the savior of this world, Kuhn would not have thought of helping him.

"Did your negotiation with the Emperor go well?"

"More or less. I'm sure we'll hear something back soon."

Dyan glanced around at their surroundings, which were blocked on all sides.

"This place is pretty nice. But, maybe we should change the location?"

"There is nothing wrong with being careful."

"Where should we do it...... I’ll have to think about it."

Kuhn got up from his seat.

"I'll go then."

"Thanks for this."

Dyan took out the envelope he had placed in his chest pocket and thanked Kuhn one more time. What was inside was a bearer bond that could be converted into cash at any time. The most important thing in increasing power was money. Kuhn assisted Dyan in many ways, including money, manpower, and information.

"From now on, you can talk about money directly with me."

Dyan said with an expression of understanding.

"Stephan scolded you again?"

When Kuhn decided to help Dyan, the opinions of his vassals were split between those in favor and half against.

Stephan was the one standing on the other side. He was in charge of all of the clan's finances. As much as he selflessly and diligently managed the accounts and had an outstanding ability when it came to making money, he obsessively hated unnecessary spending.

Stephan said, 'You hardly receive sufficient payment for the work you do, yet you give money away. This is exactly what they call being a pushover.' He said that, running wild.

"Stephan, that miser. The money is just a drop in the bucket of water from the river, but he's being so cheap."

Dyan muttered into his mouth. He has received and spent a huge amount of money, and he doesn't know how much more he will spend in the future. But even if he spends three or four times more than what he is currently spending, it won't hurt Kuhn that much.

'Because he is incredibly wealthy.'

To be exact, it was the clan's property. However, since the head of the clan had the right to use it freely, it was no different from Kuhn's.

"What difference will it make if I tell you directly? It's not like we can handle it without Stephan knowing."

"I have some private funds."

"What? You mean you have a bloated emergency fund? One that even Stephan doesn't know about? You pretend not to be like that, but you are secretly a suspicious person."

"Don’t make me waste my money. Do you know how much money I've spent on you already?"

The two men didn't stop bickering, but neither one was particularly upset. They didn't really mean the biting remarks they threw at one another.

"In general, the riskier an investment is, the higher the return."

"Such empty words coming from you."

Kuhn shook his head as he walked away.

"Is it okay if you don’t have someone to escort you?"

"I'll be fine."

"Farewell, then. Don't get lost."

Kuhn turned a deaf ear to the words coming from behind him.
