I walk down the hall, pulling Princess Ferris' hand. Fortunately, there were few people because it was already before the birthday party. If you see Princess Ferris like this, you'll look like I did it.
We stop some distance from where we were earlier.
"Princess Ferris. Treat your arm injury first."
"... arms?
Could it have been you hadn't noticed?
"Yes, because you can't leave this blue bruise behind."
That's what I say. Use a heel of water magic. All right, little by little, the colors are back.
"Princess Ferris. Is there any pain?
"It's okay."
Are you sure you're okay with me looking all the way down from earlier? I peek in from the bottom.
"Are you sure you're all right, Princess Ferris?
Then.
"Hii!"
... I was frightened. What's really going on?
"Oh, I'm sorry. When I think of the old days..."
"No, that's good, is something wrong?
……
"No, if you don't want to say anything, that's fine."
"... right. I'll tell you because you're not completely irrelevant."
Why am I not irrelevant?
"Let's go somewhere we can calm down. Sure, over here..."
You're more used to the royal palace than I am. I walk away with Princess Ferris pulling my hand, as opposed to earlier. I've been out there for, like, a few minutes.
"Let's be here."
"Oh, I didn't know there was such a big tree"
There was a large tree growing about 6 meters high and 4 meters around the trunk.
"This tree is. It's a tree that blooms in the middle of the cold to warm season, and when it blooms, it's so beautiful to bloom full of peach blossoms. Rumor has it that the Spirit is in there."
Princess Ferris, who speaks so happily. Could that be...
"He says his name is Thrizier, and it seems like it's been around since this kingdom was created. My sister Alexia told me that she only wrote her name in her heirloom so that she could stay like this."
Absolutely cherry blossoms! I don't know the type, but it must be.
"Come on, let's sit down"
Ah! When you sit still.
"Princess Ferris. When you sit there, you get clothes."
"It's fine. Come on, sit down."
Princess Ferris slamming the ground next to herself for saying so. I'll sit next to Princess Ferris, too.
"You said you had something to do with it, Alexia, because your sister had something to do with it."
"Alexia did?
"Yeah. Because the reason I like your sister Alexia is what I'm going to tell you now"
That's what Princess Ferris started talking about.
◇ ◇ ◇
That was a hot day five years ago. The kingdom of Nanol and the kingdom of the Beasts, Warvest, hold major meetings every five years to confirm and renew the contents of the alliance.
I usually have meetings, but only those meetings are big enough to deal with each bureaucracy, army, etc.
We've been switching places every five years, and that was the year we did it at Warvest.
Of course that's not all the big meetings end in two days a day, a meeting that lasts nearly a week. Of course there will be no children out when I say they will all be present. The side of the kingdom of Nanol is attended by the upper Prince Albert, while Prince Alex and his sister Marina wait in the kingdom with the queens. Alexia, who was 9 at the time, looks like your sister followed me.
I used to play with my sister Alexia and brother Fergus every day, but the two of them just had to fight the basics and I wasn't really into martial arts back then I wasn't funny.
Nobody will deal with me, so I made it out of the castle with my best intentions. That way someone will take care of me, that's what I assumed then. Really like a child if you think about it now.
I went out to the city using a secret passage known only to the royal family. It was not a flourishing place in the middle of the city, but a slightly darker place that was invisible.
But at that time, I kept going without beating the excitement of being able to explore alone.
Then after hours of bluffing and walking tired, I started going back the way I had always wanted to go, but I was only 5 years old at the time and lost without even knowing the way I had come.
The men stood in front of me with a disgusting grin as I patiently proceeded to cry.
"What's going on here, little lady?
"Hehe. Such a beautiful figure, you must be absolutely noble."
"And if you were such a pretty girl, you'd be pretty high if you sold her as a slave!
I was too afraid to move. But the men won't wait.
"Hihihi, lady, let's go somewhere good with us."
"Hyahaha! How much would it cost to sell this guy?
"I think it's gonna be fine!
"Hey, hey, hey, don't come."
I cried out, but there's no way you'd ask me that. I regretted it. This happened because you weren't in the castle like your father or mother said. Alexia, this happened because I wasn't with your sister or brother Fergus. I just ended up apologizing in my heart.
"Come on, come on!
When a man tried to grab my hand, he was meditating his eyes on too much fear. But that's when the wind blew. I'm never gonna get grabbed, so I open my eyes, and there's...
"Aren't you ashamed that a big adult surrounds a little girl?
Alexia, sister with two swords, stood there.
"She's a beautiful girl again! If you sell this guy, too."
"We're getting lucky too!
"Hmm! The bastards. Ferris, stay back!
"Hia, hia"
From there it was one-sided. Alexia, if your sister waves her sword, her arms fly, and if she shoots magic, the men blow away. I was dazzled by your sister Alexia's battle.
And a little while later, Brother Fergus and the gendarmes arrived and things settled.
It was your father's thunder waiting for me back at the castle. But then I remember being held tight.
But what I remembered more vividly was Alexia, my sister's fighting hindsight. Whether you're closing your eyes or doing something, it comes up in the back of your brain. That figure was a goddess to me. I've been in love with Alexia ever since.
◇ ◇ ◇
"Well, I was shaking earlier, too"
"I knew you'd find out. Right after that incident, I couldn't get anywhere near a man other than your father and brother. I've finally been able to talk to you lately, but yeah, I knew I couldn't when I was forced to. My body will tremble."
The sight just now and Princess Ferris trembling again if you remember the sight of old.
I couldn't have seen such weakness. Princess Ferris in me just feels like a healthy bright girl that was the first time I met her. How can I get over it?
"Before I left, I asked my sister how she found out where I was. Then what do you think I answered? Niya looked mean and said, 'Because I've done the same thing before!' Cause I said confidently that I was already laughing and laughing."
Princess Ferris speaks so pleasantly. You really like Alexia.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I cheered myself up."
"No, it's perfectly fine."
"Hehe, thanks. So, I was just talking and I remembered something."
"What is it?
"Alexia, why did your sister forget her promise to me?"
I don't know about marriage.
"When I got home from the meeting, I asked my sister Alexia, 'How can I be with your sister Alexia!' I said it in my mind, including marriage, but Alexia, what do you think your sister answered?
"... I don't know"
"Hehe, think about it for a second. Alexia said," If you want to fight with me, you have to be strong enough to beat me. "And then I said, 'Then come to Warvest if I win!' My sister just answered, 'Okay.'
I was excited then and didn't realize it, but now that I'm calm and think about it, I think Sister Alexia wants me to fight with her. You're gonna laugh, aren't you? I can't believe I was wrong from the start... "
Princess Ferris laughing that way. But my heart...
"Ha, that? Why are you crying? Even though I'm about to laugh now. Why not? Why won't you stop..."
I was crying. Even though that's what I meant. You don't have to put up with it. I think so. I use magic.
"Earthmagic Earthwall"
"Huh?"
"If you're inside this wall, your voice won't leak outside, and you can't even see it from outside. I'll be outside, too, so I'll just like it. Because I make it brittle to collapse if I hit it from the inside."
That's what I'm going to do.
Minutes later
Bagorn!
... I don't have to hit him that hard to break it.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah. Thanks"
Princess Ferris smiles saying so. My eyes are swollen from crying too much.
"Princess Ferris. Please don't move. Heels."
When I use my heel...... yeah. Back to normal.
"It's all right now, Princess Ferris"
I smile too. Then.
"Ugh, yeah. Thanks."
I leaned down again. Still not feeling well?
"Do you still remember?
When I peek into your face,
"Ugh, yeah! It's okay! It's okay!
and rush away from me. I'm angry enough to turn my face bright red. You hated me. Well, no. Let's go back anyway.
"Princess Ferris. Let's go back to your room. We were all worried."
"Yeah, okay. Can I have a minute before you do that?
"What is it?
"Oh, well, um..."
What? As a mound.
"I hadn't apologized to you yet. I'm sorry I hit you with my mistake!
That's what I say. Keep your head down. Didn't you apologize?
"You asked me to apologize in my room earlier, didn't you?
"Because that was what your father was telling you. That's the real deal. I'm so sorry."
"It's good enough. I accept Princess Ferris' apology."
"Yeah, and thanks for the help earlier!
... I knew Princess Ferris would have to be as bright as this.
"Until I did what I deserved. Come on, we're all waiting. Let's go back."
"Yeah, let's go, Ray (...)!"
That's what they say. Princess Ferris walks out of my hand.... Is that it? It's like being called by name for the first time now... you're supposed to hate me.
Sort of.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
I walk down the hall, pulling Princess Ferris' hand. Fortunately, there were few people because it was already before the birthday party. If you see Princess Ferris like this, you'll look like I did it.
