In the reception room, Riltana and Cain sit on the sofa facing each other. At the end of the room, the maid was preparing tea and sweets. The items displayed in the hallway from the hall to the reception room were not so different between the kingdom and the empire. Even in the reception room, Cain was satisfied with the comfortable sofa.

"Cain-sama, how did you do so much?"

"No, nothing. I wonder if the tastes of the items in different countries are different ..."

Rirutana laughed at Cain's words.

"I'm waiting for you. I tried brewing with tea leaves from the Empire."

The maid places a cup in front of them and pours tea. Cain picks up the cup and puts it close to his mouth and feels a slightly different smell. And the fruity taste that spreads cheeks without thinking of a bite has spread. After confirming Cain's smile, Rirutana brought the cup to her mouth with satisfaction.

"This tea is delicious ... It's the first drink I tasted."

"I got it from the empire. I like it and I've been drinking it since I was little. Niggito always finds a lot."

As they enjoyed tea, Niggito, who had finished carrying his luggage, came into the room.

"Everything is finished, Your Highness Riltana"

"Thank you, Cain liked the tea you chose."

"Mr. Nighito, this tea is delicious"

Niggito smiled happily with Cain's words and refrained from behind Lil 'Tana.

"I am pleased by the count of Silford and I am also satisfied. Would you like to take home a little souvenir? Or because this tea leaf is of the Imperial era, you can get engaged with your Highness Riltana and join the Empire together The hand of going-

"Nighito !!"

Rirutana, with a red face, scolded Nighito, who said something extra. Rirutana, who had been reddened to hear Niggito's word "engagement," stood up and struck Nighito's head.

"I'm sorry ... this word has passed. Count Silford, forgive me ..."

Nighito deeply bows, while Lil'tana hits his head.

"Lil ... that's about it. I know it's a joke. The Imperial Princess can't easily engage with a nobleman from another country. I know it's a joke."

Lil 'Tana, whose words were laughing slightly disappointed by the words of Cain laughing, slightly clouded her complexion, but opened her mouth to prevent her expression.

"--That's right ... I was a princess, though she was six. So easy ..."

However, Lil 'Tana's words, with a slightly dark look, ended up whispering.

"Oh, Lil, and I can call me" Cain. "

Lil 'Tana, who had a dark expression to Cain's gentle words, nodded while dyeing her cheeks red. In Lil'tana, he met Cain in his childhood and was hesitant to call himself "Cain" for the first time in a few years. Unlike when she was young, she was still a girl, though she was still a girl.

"So ... let's call them mosquitoes, mosquitoes and Cain!"

Looking at the shame of Rirutana, Niggito was holding back with a laugh behind her in an unusual manner.

The couple then blossomed in a chat about half an hour.

"I'll be back soon. At school again!"

"Yes, Cain. Tomorrow!"

"Count Sylford, I'll send you that."

Cain was guided by Niggito to the carriage and sent to the mansion. Niggito, who is the master, spoke to Cain through a small window attached to the carriage.

"Cain-sama, you can see Riltana, and she's pretty lonely. Please keep in touch with me. And she seems to have a reason to transfer to the kingdom. Tell me more. I don't know ... I came to the kingdom once when I was a child before I served, maybe that was the beginning ... "

"Yeah, I heard that from Lil. I've come to the city of Ramesta, the territory of my parents' house. You might have come to this kingdom without a bad image of the kingdom."

Cain also remembered what happened in the city of Ramesta when he was young.

――Um… Training with the knights …… and …….

"That ... a child who was a stall at that time ...... the name is certain ..."

Cain recalled that she had chosen a necklace at a stall in a corner of her memory.

"It could not be……"

The carriage carrying the smiling Cain headed to Silfort House.

◇◇◇

At the end of the next class, Riltana gets into the carriage to pick him up.

"Thank you, Riltana."

"Yup……"

Rirutana, a little sick, looked out of the window. As the carriages proceeded, three carriages lined up in a row in front of them and slowly proceeded. One carriage leads a little ahead, and the two carriages behind it move slowly as if they were in the way of the carriage carrying Rirutana.

"The front carriage is slow ..."

Niggito, who is complaining while complaining, muttered while watching the carriage slowly moving forward.

And far away from the carriage was a girl walking.

I finished my class in the morning and went out to use it with the help of the firm-Parma.

Palma was visiting the aristocratic town to contact the aristocratic residence she had booked for, as she received glassware commissioned by Cain.

"Um ... next is the House of Marquis Corsino ..."

One carriage approaches Parma, walking while watching notes.

And-.

Suddenly, two men appear from behind, plugging Palma's mouth and hitting the belly.

"Mugu ..."

It was powerful enough to deprive the unconscious Parma. The men carry the Parma and throw it into the leading carriage. And he speeded up at a stretch. Nighito, who was the carriage of the rider with Riltana behind him, was not clearly visible, but had a sight of lifting one person and throwing it into the carriage.

"?! ..."

Nigeet wanted to pursue the carriage, but the imperial princess was on the carriage. Nigito, who knew that he could not take such a risk, and that if he had told this now, he would be instructed only by Rirutana with a strong sense of justice to `` follow him '' Was. He kept his eyes on the features of the kidnapped wagon while he followed him until he couldn't see it.

After getting to the mansion, Nigito talks to Lil'tana, sitting on the sofa, that she had just been there. Of course I knew she would be scolded, but she had already arrived at the mansion and she was safe.

"Why didn't you chase on the spot !!"

Lirutana was excited, as Niegito imagined.

"I'm sorry. I can't keep her highness alone with her Highness Riltana on. My job is to keep her high.

Lil 'Thana, standing with a bow down at the table, told Nigit, bowing his head, and said,' I'll go. '

"Yes, right away. So the destination is ..."

"Of course it depends on the guard's station! Is there anything else?"

"But this is a kingdom. We, the people of the empire, are--"

"This is not the case!"

"I see. Ready now."

As an escort, Nigeet, with two knights accompanied by the Empire, began to drive the carriage carrying Lil'tana toward the guardhouse.
