A truly perfect person does not exist.

Wien has always lived with this belief.

Things that look extremely beautiful often leave some inconceivable flaws in unknown corners.

In the past, he had also embraced some unrealistic fantasies, but was educated by reality over and over again. Until now, he has successfully accepted this theorem.

As a result, he also became one of the so-called smart people who "know how to live".

It didn't make it easier for him, but he did get some comfort from it.

——The disadvantage is inherent in a person. I don’t demand others because of this, so others can’t demand me because of this.

"Actually, I don't care much about the people around me that have certain harmless shortcomings. In my opinion, this is also part of themselves."

Wien's voice wasn't loud, but it was clear.

"As long as I think this person is trustworthy, I'm willing to be friends with him."

"When I first heard about Richard, the 'perfect prince' from other people's words, I was thinking..."

——I was thinking, maybe he and I were the same kind of person.

"He and I are really people with completely opposite personalities."

Wien smiled.

If a person pretends for a long time, he will really mistakenly think that he should be like that naturally.

"It is definitely a hard thing to maintain perseverance for many years." He seemed to be talking to Richard directly, and seemed to be just talking to irrelevant people. "Especially, it's so unrealistic like 'perfect'

Settings.”

Yes. Just like your own [Simple Kindness and Harmlessness], they are just artificially imposed settings.

No matter how dazzling the halo above the head is, the body named Richard is still a human soul.

He has joy, anger, sorrow and happiness, and naturally he will also cause corresponding psychological fluctuations due to external stimulation.

So he will envy another life that seems to be different from himself, and will be worried about why he cannot get along well with his brothers, and will subconsciously resent the pain brought to him by the loss of his parents... These thoughts have been rushing in his mind

, but I can't tell anyone.

He cannot reveal it.

Because once it is revealed, he is no longer "perfect".

A perfect prince cannot escape his existing identity at some point, cannot handle his relationship with his compatriots and brothers well, and cannot mediate the conflict between the king and the queen, which will eventually hurt the entire royal family.

reputation.

The helpless reality is completely in conflict with his ideal state.

So he could only pretend that it was not a problem at all.

Pretending to be strong, as if everything is under control, I will not care about these small things at all.

Yes, how could these messy thoughts shake the firm heart of His Highness?

Richard chose to bury all these vivid emotions in the deep sea of ​​consciousness.

Then, there was the prince in the world who was so "perfect" that he did not seem to be real.

"...Perhaps, only by relying on some extremely strong belief can he provide such powerful motivation."

Under the attention of everyone, Wien looked at Richard's eyes seriously.

"Richard, although these words should not seem to be reminded by me...but I still want to say that the goal that you have been persisting until now and want to achieve is what you really matter to you."

"Don't get lost in chasing [perfection], but forget."

...

"—What kind of person will my brother want to be in the future?" A childish question sounded in his ears.

Richard stopped the building block toys he was fiddling with.

After thinking about it, he said, "I want to be a very good person that everyone can rely on."

The younger brother among the twins was very happy to hear this answer.

"Is that so? Then can I always rely on my brother in the future?"

"Yeah, of course!"

He is loved by everyone and can hear the prince who is not praised without hesitation almost every day.

At that time, they could not understand the profound meaning of "commitment".

"——It's obvious that they are all brothers, why is that one so mediocre?"

One day later, I heard such a discussion from the maids who were very close to me.

——No.

In an instant, he understood who they were talking about. Richard wanted to rush up and argue loudly, but... he couldn't do it.

Because he is a good kid who is praised every day and doesn't know how to lose his temper.

Before I could do it, I couldn't think of what kind of reaction I should react. The maids were as if they had never said anything and continued to do what they were doing.

Maybe they were just a temporary mistake...

Although I used such a reason to convince myself that I didn’t need to do anything more, I was able to turn around and leave silently, and my image was preserved. But as I slowly heard similar "misphor" from different people, I became more and more times.

, the younger brother seemed to be becoming increasingly silent, and Richard felt at a loss.

Did Lawrence also hear those cold words?

What should I do so that he doesn’t care about these things?

"Brother, today the teacher praised you again in front of your father." He said casually as before.

"Is that right..." Richard tried not to make him think that the result of this comparison was important. "Those are nothing."

——It is not important at all, and there is no need to be lost for it.

Lawrence nodded, not knowing whether he understood his consolation.

"The piano is so interesting, I seem to be listening to it." He stretched out his small hand and hung it in the air to imitate the piano.

"Is that true? Lawrence is very talented in this area, and I don't seem to adapt much."

"How could it be?" Lawrence looked at him with a look of surprise.

"Maybe it likes Lawrence more than me...I don't think it's talking to me."

Children's emotions come and go quickly.

Lawrence soon became happy again, "Then, after I learned how to speak with it, I will play it for you."

"Okay." Richard also smiled faintly, "Then let's just say that."

...

To this day, Richard no longer knows why he still remembers these old things firmly.

Before the promise was fulfilled, an unexpected separation crushed the vulnerable lies between the two children.

There is no one who can rely on the proton who is wandering in a foreign country.
