I Favor the Villainess

"What do you mean, Master Claire!

After Matt left after the conversation, I was stuffing Lady Claire.

Unexpectedly vandalize his voice by standing up on Master Claire's chest.

"You have a loud voice, Ray. May and Alea are frightened."

In contrast to the fierce me, Master Claire seemed calm.

That drives my agony again.

Nevertheless, it's not a good idea to scare Mae and Allea.

I tried to restrain myself by mobilizing as much as I could reason.

"I'm sorry. But we should refuse to talk about this. There's nothing in it for Master Claire."

"Benefits... well, you're not a single citizen."

"Isn't it?

In reply to Lady Claire, I was a little horrified.

That part seemed to be properly understood by Master Claire as well.

"You don't have to wait a week. Tomorrow I'll say no."

"But if I say no here, what do you think will happen?

Master Claire blocked my words I was about to say.

I lost my voice for a moment but desperately answer my thoughts together.

"Isn't someone else going to be chosen to replace you?

"I guess so. There's only one reason the Empire's convinced. Someone."

"What's the problem with that?

I don't know what Master Claire is thinking from earlier.

I don't know, but there's a loud alarm in the back of my chest.

This is not a good flow, he said.

"I know it's dangerous to go to the Empire."

"Isn't that right? So..."

"I mean, if I say no, someone in its place will be in danger, right?

Lady Claire said so with a glimpse into my eyes.

I thought it was still there.

More than a year after the revolution, I thought Master Claire was completely familiar with the way he lived as a single citizen.

I believed they would live a mediocre but happy life together in peace with May, Allea, and me.

But it wasn't.

Master Claire's essence has not changed much from before the revolution.

How to be a good old aristocrat, proud, clean, and not good enough for someone to be unhappy in their place.

Lady Claire is now about to sacrifice herself again for someone.

"Dear Claire...... Lady Claire's not a nobleman anymore, is she? You can think only of your happiness."

"No, Ray. This is the result of my own happiness."

Sitting down, Lady Claire recommended me a chair.

I was still a little excited, but to calm myself down, I followed Master Claire's words.

Master Claire also sits in a chair.

"The happiest thing for me is that Ray, May, and Alea will be happy."

"Neither do I. We need Claire to be happy."

"Thanks. But, Ray. Our country must be at peace to protect our happiness."

Master Claire tells me in such a tone as to make me say and listen to children who waste their lives.

"Bauer is still unstable. It's only been a year since the revolution. Naturally, right? As Matt said, I guess there's no other option."

"But you won't have to sacrifice Master Claire!

I've roughed up my voice a little again.

"It's not a sacrifice. I had the chance to win Bauer's peace with my own hands."

Claire, who said so with perseverance, couldn't help but be my favorite Claire.

"If I refuse Matt's request here, I will entrust the success or failure of my irreplaceable future with the Rays to a stranger. I can't let that happen."

"Dear Claire..."

This is what a man named Claire was.

He was not the kind of person who would sweeten what was given to him and live there at ease.

She was a villain's warrant to get what she wanted for herself.

"What kind of dog would you die of? I'll let you dance on the palm of my hand like an empire."

So, Master Claire laughs at me.

"So I will go. I'm going to the Empire to win my future with you."

Lady Claire's eyes were lit with the fire of determination.

Oh, I can't do this.

I can't stop again.

Am I gonna lose her again?

I was struck by despair.

So, Lady Claire's next word - turned out to be a complete surprise.

"Ray, you're coming too, aren't you?

"... Huh?

"What are you up to? It will be decided. I'll go, won't I? What choice did you have not to come?

Master Claire said, deliberately creating a tone that stirred.

But I get it.

Unsurpassed trust and affection.

"Did you think I'd go alone?

"... excuse me"

"No, this is my fault, isn't it? I have a priori."

Dear Claire, who laughs bitterly.

What she's saying would be a pre-revolutionary breakup.

"At that time, I thought that was the best. But it wasn't. When you cried in the execution yard, the first time you said selfishness to me, I woke up."

With that said, Lady Claire took her seat and came to me, hugging my shoulder fluttering.

"I will not leave you alone anymore. I'll go with you, not alone, no matter how hard and dangerous the place is."

So once I cut the word, Lady Claire stuck her forehead and forehead to me a little bit,

"Would you follow me?

And I said, glancing into my eyes.

"It's obvious. Don't follow me. I told you not to follow me."

"hehe, good"

We laughed at each other and we spoke lightly.

"But what about May and Allea? You can't take him, can you?

"It's pathetic, but let the two of you keep it with someone you can trust. Right...... The Cathedral's chief priest, or Lord Rod's -"

"Oh no!

"I don't want to!

There was a voice to interrupt Master Claire's words.

"You guys..."

"May...... alea......"

It was our beloved daughters.

If he thought the children's room was a lot quieter, he'd be listening.

"Hey, if you guys are going somewhere, May's going too!

"Me too!

The two cried and still insisted strongly so.

"I'm sorry, I can't do that. Where we are going, it is very dangerous -"

"Oh no!

"No, no, no!

I blocked Master Claire's words, which I tried to include, with such intense reactions as May and Allea had never seen before.

"May...... alea......"

"Don't do it!!

"I don't like you two again!!

Lady Claire looked like she had lost consciousness.

Perhaps I would have looked the same.

Since the loss of her parents, May and Allea have been orphaned by the eruption of Sassar Volcano, giving away their relatives, and only two lived as orphans.

When we just met, the two were unimaginably faceless and untouched from now on, as if they were manipulators just like humans.

Dear Claire - and as a result of my unstinting affection as well as the miso in front of me - has now recovered to this point, but I guess for both of us the memory of those days is tantamount to a nightmare.

The result is this fierce rejection.

"Are the old ladies doing the mays too...? Maes, you two again...?

"I'd love to...... I have to talk to the grandmothers..."

Crying May and Allea complained diligently, shaking their little bodies.

Master Claire doesn't seem to know what to do, and she's stunned.

... All right, let's get hungry now.

"Dear Claire, let's take May and Alea too"

"Ray, do you know what you're talking about!?

Master Claire says it in such a tone that it is outrageous.

I went on.

"It's okay. I've decided to be ready, too. If this happens, we'll crush the Empire."

"Fuck, Ray...?

The bewildered Lady Claire left it alone for a moment and turned to May and Allea.

"I'm sorry to make you nervous, May, Alea. I won't throw it away. Let's go together."

"Really...?

"Really...?

"Yeah. Instead, you're gonna do this to Mr. Vagina, right?

"Yeah!"

"Yes!

May and Allea jumped into my chest.

It's very unusual for me to have this.

I wonder how anxious I was.

"It's not even like me to go into protection. Lady Claire, May and Alea, I'll protect them all."

If you're ready, all you have to do is prepare and act.

It's been a long time since I've had my head fully spinning about what I'm going to do.
