Noel was also quite tired, so a big yawn erupted on its own.

“Hurry up, Princess, too.”

“Yes.”

Rieta smiled bashfully and gently put her hands together.

“Noel, I hope there will be no class tomorrow.”

“Don’t make fun of me.”

“I’m not kidding. It’s nice to be able to play together all day. Above all else, Elisha is coming tomorrow!”

“. . .!”

Noel was startled, and he unknowingly took a step back.

“. . . Noel?”

Rieta called him, puzzled, but Noel hurriedly closed the door and slipped into the bed.

When the thin summer duvet covered the end of his head, the anxiety he had been putting off finally came.

Will Elisha be okay?

What if he isn’t?

In the end, Noel could barely sleep despite his fatigue.

The next morning.

One of the Duchy’s carriage headed for the military academy.

It was none other than a carriage sent by the Duke, and it was meant to pick up Elisha.

Even though Rieta wore a pretty dress she had picked out a few days ago, she was anxious several times and she grabbed Noel’s sleeve.

“Noel, do I really look like a Princess? Do I?”

“Are you worrying about that again?”

Noel grabbed Rieta’s hair ribbon and untied it.

“It’s too much.”

As Rieta snatched the ribbon and ran back to the maid, Noel stood in the hall near the porch and looked out anxiously into the garden.

What if Elisha arrives with a bluish face?

He was really sorry.

He felt guilty that he didn’t keep his promise to protect Elisha until the very end.

Just then, the sound of a carriage began to be heard from afar.

Noel was nervous and twisted the hem of his clothes.

Sweat was forming on his hands, and it was probably not just due to the heat.

The carriage came closer and closer, and the figure of Elisha in it looked like a black shadow.

Is his face okay?

Will it be covered in bruises?

Noel confirmed the appearance of the coachman who knew the answer to this problem.

If Elisha had a bluish-purple face, he must have rushed the carriage with a rather anxious expression.

Because if the Duke’s guest was injured, he thinks he needs to be taken to the mansion quickly and treated.

“. . . Ummm.”

However, no matter how hard he stared, he could not read the coachman’s mind.

Now it was like this.

There is only one thing Noel needed to wish for.

He needed to meet Elisha before Rieta, understand the situation, and respond somehow.

At the very least, shouldn’t Elisha greet Rieta with a face that was tended to?

“Noel, the carriage has arrived!”

When Rieta, who had just tied her hair back again, approached, he quickly pulled out the ribbon in Rieta’s hair.

Her long hair flew into the air again, hanging long down Rieta’s shoulders.

Noel held out the ribbon to Rieta.

It meant, to go back and tie her hair again.

That way, when Rieta isn’t around, Elisha will arrive.

“You’re really mean. Why do you keep making jokes like this?”

“Hey, you’ll look ugly with your hair in a weird ponytail.”

“It doesn’t matter if I’m ugly. I just need to look like a Princess.”

Rieta snatched the ribbon from Noel’s hand, and sprinted to the front door.

Noel belatedly tried to catch Rieta.

But how fast the squirrel-like Princess was, she began to wave her hands excitedly on the porch where the already hot sun was falling.

He was doomed.

The next best thing to check Elisha’s condition first is no longer an option.

All that’s left is to hope that he turns out to be fine.

The speed of the carriage approaching across the garden was faster than usual.

Besides, Elisha, who was sitting there, looked like he was bowing his body.

Naturally, Noel had a sinking feeling in his gut.

God damn it . . .

Noel was thinking so.

Just then, the carriage stopped right in front of the mansion.

The servant placed the footrest, and the carriage’s door began to open.

Noel went all the way to the front door with a resigned face.

Anyway, since it is a guess that arrived when the Duke and Darrel were not there, it was right that Noel took the lead in welcoming them.

When he came out to the front door where strong sunlight was falling from the inside, the whole world seemed white for a moment.

Noel covered his forehead with one arm and frowned slightly.

He saw the carriage door wide open.

Judging by the fact that there was no one at the door, it seems that Elisha had already gotten off.

Rieta’s silence without a word was somehow unsettling.

After Noel blinked a few more times, he finally got a glimpse of the situation at the front door.

There was a scene like the one he had seen a long time ago.

Elisha was on his knees, pressing his forehead on the back of Rieta’s hand.

The scene where Elisha, perfectly outfitted with the cadet’s uniform, dedicates his allegiance to Rieta is perfect indeed.

Even if this is the case, the problem is . . .

Finally, Elisha raised his head.

Noel rushed to the side of the two of them without realizing it, and looked closely at Elisha’s face.

Oh my gosh.

There’s not a single wound!

His skin was perfectly smooth, and besides, the corners of his eyes and mouth were neat and clean.

Noel quickly placed his hands behind his back.

He wondered if there were any wounds that he couldn’t be seen.
