Fairy Tales Have Expired

On the night of the red sun, every child born in the Sea of Despair bears a curse.

“Fuffuffu! A curse? You actually believe in that? Let’s see whether I’m tougher or this little brat is!”

“Whether you’re a cursed child or not, to me, you and Law are both kids I need to protect!”

Even though they knew the truth, they still gave me salvation.

“Darling, when I return from my voyage, we’ll get married!”

“Your Highness, don’t envy anyone else. I’m your knight, and I’ll always cherish you.”

Though some promises sounded like jokes, I still believed in them.

“If you want, you can be the head of the Heart Family whenever you like!”

“I spend too much time training, so I’m not good at saying nice things. But don’t worry. No matter what happens, I’ll trust you.”

Words I didn’t understand back then became the only shelter I had.

“Not just those things. Whatever you want, I’ll give it to you!”

“Think of it as my special ability! No matter where you go, I’ll find you!”

My brothers treated you as one of their own.

Thank you for loving me despite the curse, and for letting me keep believing in that beautiful fairy tale...
