The figure stood at the end of a limp corridor lined with bronze statues, illuminated by the light outside that slipped thinly.

Pink black hair, a terribly neat and brilliant face, smooth and even length.

Cold purple eyes, shooting through Alicia.

"Clovis Cromwell......"

A barely plundered voice is leaking from his dry throat. At the same time, Alicia's body trembled into small pieces and her blood drew away as she looked.

"No."

Towards Alicia, who was fearless, Black Reaper stepped forward.

"No, no"

Cut long's eyes looked cold at Alicia and burned with scorn and hatred.

"No, no, no, no"

The hand carried a blunt and glowing sword and was swung up to judge Alicia for her sins.

"hey ahhh!!!!!!"

"Dear Alicia!?

"Please be sure, princess!!!

Alicia, who was screaming and semi-frequent, had been held back by two trustworthy maids and a female chief, if she was aware.

"Ani, Martha......? Madam Fourier......?

Calling with a trembling voice, the three looked at each other with worry and mild confusion. When Alicia checked the situation with a head that didn't turn, her own face was messed up with tears, and Buck, who stuck with the confectionery, had fallen to the ground at some point.

And, ahead of Xia's sight, Alicia found the person she sought.

"Clovis......"

A young aide stretched his expression to keep an eye on this one where he distanced himself from the three surrounding Alicia. There were no remnants of the daydreams that frightened the princess anymore, except it was painful to stand up like it was frozen.

"Hey. Clovis isn't bad. I'm sorry."

"Please calm down. Calm down, Alicia."

"It's true. Hey. Chief Fourier. He's nothing wrong."

Secretary Fourier rubbed Alicia's back so weak, desperate and clumsy that she could fool herself. In time, from Alicia's empty eyes, pompous and new eyes spilled.

"Please. Tell Clovis. He said he was sorry to scare you."

One last time, I groaned sorry and Alicia lost consciousness.

Princess Alicia was immediately transported to her room at the hands of the samurai. At the same time, the contacted medical officer rushed in, and her room was repeated by the maid and the medical officer rushing in and out.

A short distance away from that, Clovis was also on the wall.

It's been a long time since Alicia was brought in. In the meantime, Clovis didn't want to know what was going on in the room, and now he had no idea what his husband's condition was.

♪ I'm sorry I scared you ♪

With a pale face, you were pale, but the voice of the girl who tried so hard to shelter Clovis came back to life, and the young aide grabbed her brunette by the way.

The same goes for Alicia herself, but no one blamed or suspected Clovis because the chief woman and the samurai watched the whole thing in tears.

So there's no reason why Clovis should stay on the spot. But with Alicia's figure glued behind her eyelids as she was carried without power, Clovis didn't feel like going back to her room.

"Oh. Are you still here?"

And then Clovis, who looked up at the voice that came down from above his head, opened the cleaver's eyes.

"Your Majesty...!

"Good. Stay."

King James gently pushed Clovis, who hastily tried to correct his posture. When I saw it, the medical officer and the maids came out of the princess's room.

"I know what happened to Henri. Your Lord was a disaster, too."

"No...... More importantly, Alicia."

"Now, stay calm and sleep. Instead, the medical officer did it for you. My attending says I don't see anything wrong with it and it's extremely healthy. I can only assume that something we don't know has severely tormented Shea's heart"

"Come on, is it?"

To the king's answer, Clovis let his expression drop his gaze.

Alicia's tremors among the starfrosts were unusual, no matter what. More importantly, tightening Clovis' chest meant that she was definitely frightened of Clovis then.

King James smiled gently at the aide, distracted by his painful expression.

"At last the sun went down. Lord, back off and rest already today. I don't know what I can do if I'm here."

"I can't do that"

Answering as bounced, Clovis drowned his head at the king.

"I appreciate your disrespect, please. Could you please forgive me for staying here tonight? … even if there's nothing I can do, I want to be there to protect him from further suffering."

Clovis was drooling, fully understanding that he was powerless on the matter. To such an aide, King James smiled bitterly at the round face.

"It's going to be a bad dream just because I imagined a man standing outside the door bluishing his face all night."

"Knock."

Clovis was stuck in words for a precise penetration full of tea. But King James grabbed Anni, who had just come from the princess's room, and clasped his shoulders.

"Just one thing, please. This man is stubborn enough not to move here. I want you to prepare a chair for Shea's bed, because she's no match for you if you can't do it."

"... Yes!?

"Your Majesty, it is!

Ani looks away and looks at Clovis, who seems to have accidentally vegetarian. But it's just like Clovis who panicked.

"I can be here. Refrain from the princess's bedroom, etc. …"

"If I let your lord come to this place overnight, I will be angry with Shea. - I am well aware that your Lord is deeply loyal to Shea. That's not enough to trust the Lord."

King James walked away from the spot after pounding Clovis' shoulder, which was taken aback. Then Anni slapped her hands on her breasts.

"How long have you been mocking me? King James told you to let Alicia go. If you're in a chair, the teacher used it, so go inside."

"No, I'm..."

Still, when Clovis was reluctant, Anni glanced at Clovis with a kick.

"Dear Alicia, tell us nothing"

Clovis looked back at Ani as a haha.

"That one, he's got some big problems. But it is not for us to understand. If that's what you want, we'll have to pretend not to notice."

But you're not. Regrettably, the samurai went on to do so.

"I don't know what triggered it, but only when I dealt with you did Master Alicia expose her entire chest.... even if it was in that shape, I envy you"

"Do you mind if I torment that one and make him suffer?

"Yes."

Ani nodded lightly at Clovis' questioning, which got tough.

"It's a lot easier to hold someone in front of you than to find someone who's suffering in a hidden place and hug them."

I see. Clovis roared in his chest.

If I thought that heart-sweet princess would have suffered equally in a place without herself, Clovis' heart would have been crushed badly. If you want me to carry the same pain anyway, you'd better suffer me where I can reach you.

Ani also pointed to the end of the hallway, just saying that he had done what he wanted to say.

"The poking little room is between me and Martha. If anything happens to the princess, call me. Okay, I'm in this."

Lifting her head gently, the samurai disappeared to the end of the dark corridor.

Clovis, who was left behind, breathed small and then laid his hands on the door of Alicia's sleeping room.
