I wonder why Mr. Duke's memory was erased. It hasn't even been such a big problem when I got home...... It's important for a prince to erase his memory. I wonder if the king wants to hide the prince's amnesia. The most beneficial person to erase Master Duke's memory...... me?
Could it have erased Master Duke's memory before I knew it?... That's not true, right? Sure, if I can't remember Master Duke, I can change my impression, but I won't do that.
I sat on the bed and thought about it.
Looks like Mel's going to tell us more tomorrow, so maybe we should go to bed today without thinking deeply about it. Yeah, but I can't sleep because I'm concerned.
The sound of knocking on the door sounded in the room.
"Alicia, are you still awake?
Father? What can I do for you at this hour?
"I'm awake."
At the same time I said that, I opened the door.
"I need to talk to you a little."
"... you don't look very pale. Shouldn't you be off?
"No, I'm fine. More urgent than that."
Your father has a serious look on his face at all times.
"Is this about Master Duke?
"I knew Alicia already knew"
"Yeah. Well, I saw you in the school building."
... It's certainly a problem that the Prince is amnesiac, but there must definitely be other reasons why your father is so tired. For example, my family got involved...
"Alicia's name was given to the charge of forgetting her memory."
That's what your father said in a low, heavy voice.
... Me!? I thought your very good brother Henri was involved.
"Uh, how could I be the suspect?
"I don't know either...... Your Majesty's guards are waiting outside right now."
"Can you put me in jail?
Your father will shut up about my question.
I can't tell my beloved daughter that you can go to jail now, can I?
"... run away?
I was surprised by the unexpected suggestion. I didn't think your father would make that suggestion. Sure, you're always trying to help me, but this time it's something else. If I escape, the whole family will be annoyed. Besides, the worst thing a bad girl can do is run away. I will fight you with dignity.... I don't know who they are yet.
"No, I will go to His Majesty's guard."
"You don't know what you're gonna do. treated as criminals."
"I understand. But you can't be so embarrassed to run away, can you?
When I smiled and said so, your father dropped his shoulder strength like he'd given up.
"I will definitely help you"
... Oh, what a great dialogue. I know exactly why your mother fell in love with your father.
"Okay, I'm going"
I walked towards the front door.
