[SIDE Claude]
"Are you sure Leticia and Elianne are okay!?"
After they were caught in the collapse of the stairs and fell.
Claude got stuck in Nigel.
"Yes, Elaine can use the magic of the border.I think it's okay to hold it up even when it hits the ground. "
"I see...."
That's what Nigel explained, but it doesn't change my feeling that I can't stay.
Looking at Claude, who was so worried about poverty, Nigel smiled slightly.
"Fufufu, you really like that Leticia girl.Don't worry, Elaine forgave her.That's why I'm sure she'll help. "
"I hope so...."
"We need to get together with them now. Let's go."
Uh-huh.
As Nigel walked ahead, Claude followed him in a hurry.
(I chose Leticia, so I threw away my engagement with Eliane.I hope you don't resent Leticia.....)
But it was I who imitated myself.I can't complain - Claude thinks.
"Nevertheless, Nigel, you're calm.Aren't you worried about Eliane? "
While walking, Claude asks Nigel.
"Worried? Well, I trust her.If she says it's okay, it's okay. "
"But! Isn't it too thin!? Elaine was also a girl--"
Claude saw it when he tried to keep saying it.
Nigel's right fist was being held tightly.
(...! Yes, Nigel is worried about Eliane.But I desperately stopped that feeling.Because I think doing so will eventually be a good result....)
Claude, on the other hand, only wondered about Leticia and didn't see the big picture.
His Royal Highness the Prince of neighboring Lynch Giham... I hear Nigel is the same age as Claude.
Does that mean that there will be such a difference?
Claude noticed it and was stunned.
"... I'm sorry. You're worried about Elaine, too.I'm sorry for pushing all my feelings. "
Claude reflects.
But...
"Nh...? That's not true.It's true that I trust Elaine. "
and Nigel gave it back too much room.
The more he does so, the more pathetic it feels to see Claude's difference from himself bruised.
(... by the way, once upon a time, your neighbor's prince... was compared to Nigel.)
Claude's education clerk said it sour.
As expected, His Highness Nigel has been known as the 'Divine Child' since he was a child.
At the age of six, I reached the pass mark for the college entrance examination.The skill of the sword is superb, and the chief of the knights wraps his tongue around it.
Still, I have pride in being royal.Manners in the social world are perfect and impeccable...
(In contrast, I... don't remember well.Well, it was natural because I spent more time playing than studying...
Speaking of which, I neglected the educator woman I was advising and made her quit.)
The more I think about it, the more I can tell the difference between Nigel and myself... yes, Claude thought.
(But... is such a perfect man so worried about Elaine?I don't think you just want the power of a Virgin....)
When I looked at Nigel's back, I was unexpectedly interested.
And —— Earlier, when Elaine tried to step off her feet.
When I looked at Nigel's face, which supported her aggressively, I felt stronger.
When I was talking to Nigel, I didn't see Elaine in the kingdom.
For that reason, I remember seeing them in a strange wind.
"Hey, Nigel."
What is it?
Nigel's face turned towards us.
"How do you relate to Elaine?I don't think it's just one of the people... "
"Elaine is my fiancée now."
Nigel was surprised to hear the words.
"I see... but Elaine is not a nobleman.And why did you get engaged? "
The kingdom was treated as a 'saint' and had to get engaged to the prince, so it was nothing else.
"Well, I'm one of the royals.I just realize that wanting to be connected to someone I love isn't good enough. "
Nigel keeps talking.
"But Elaine was more attractive than that.And I thought everyone in the public would approve of Elaine's engagement.The fish you missed is huge. "
Nigel laughs challengingly.
Elaine is Claude's ex-fiancé.
It's not strange to feel so complicated...
(Wonderful. Even if I heard that, I only wish Eliane happiness now.)
And Claude really thinks so.
"Maybe... you missed Eliane?"
Nigel turned his sharp gaze towards Claude.
"No, that's not true! I'm Leticia now.It may be bad for Elaine, but now I only see Leticia. "
"I guess so. I think I'm looking at you now."
Nigel makes a soft expression.
Leticia.
Just thinking of her face made Claude happy.
(She said she was a magician... but she didn't change her mind.)
For some reason, her way of speaking has changed.
But on the contrary, I felt like I had seen the lethicia of vegetables, and I didn't feel bad about it.
Until now, Leticia had the feeling of wearing a mask, Claude.
Even in front of him...
She takes off her mask and treats herself.
Claude was just glad about it.
"Well... but..."
Nigel's gaze sharpened again.
"Even if I thought you'd spared Elianne... I'm not willing to lose to you.Let's play fair and square. "
"No, I'm not going to fight like that.Besides... in case that happens, I don't feel like I can beat you. "
I see.
That said, Nigel strayed from Claude.
"... you really like it."
Claude throws words at Nigel as he walks forward.
"I'm grasping Elaine's feelings.I'm just... worried.Does Leticia really like me...?
I've never thought about this before.But when the kingdom encounters something like this, the inside of Leticia changes... and I think about it without a response. "
And —— Claude thinks.
This is Claude's guess, but I feel like I'm looking at Leticia's Nigel differently.
That's His Royal Highness the Prince of Nigel's neighbour.Seeing others will be different again.
But apart from that, Leticia's eyes at Nigel are so hot... I have that impression.
(Well, Nigel seems cool and smart.I guess Nigel's method looks more attractive than me, who doesn't even realize I'm a prince.)
Claude mocked himself.
But did Nigel read the inside of Claude?
"... I don't think so."
Huh?
"I think Leticia likes you.I promise. "
Nigel pounded her chest.
Looking at that, Claude unexpectedly laughed.
"Ha, what are you talking about on the basis of?You don't have to encourage me. "
"I'm not going to do that.I'm just telling you the truth. "
That's... that's right.
But it doesn't look like he's joking.
(Then why did Nigel...?)
He said he was confused.
"Ah, there it is. Could it be Elaine and Leticia?"
When Nigel looked at the person pointing, he saw two women waving their hands at us.
Neither of them appears to have been injured somewhere.
"Ah, ahh...! Definitely! Leticia and the others."
I told you, Elaine wouldn't worry.
When I saw Nigel's face, he also looked relieved and stroked his chest down.
(I knew Nigel was worried about Eliane....)
Honestly... I was talking until I got here and I didn't think he was the same person because he was so different from Nigel.
But looking at the look on his face now, Nigel was the same person...
One day I want to be a prince who can catch up with him and overtake him - Claude desperately hoped.
"Let's go."
Ah!
Claude and Nigel ran down the stairs and headed towards Leticia and the others.
