"That day, my pursuers hadn't given up pursuit yet, and they just happened to find me in a treehouse in the woods."

Phee and I had promised to meet at the treehouse that day. I guess he was waiting for me to visit.

"The guys in the chase were running around because they found me and tried to catch me. Hannah and the escorts helped me see how things were there, but the treehouse collapsed in the shock where the chasing men and the escort were cut off."

"Yes, it was."

"Then my mother decided to leave, not necessarily because the chaser wouldn't come here again. I wanted to at least talk to Yuri, but the grownups took me to flee again in a hurry."

"I'm sorry. I couldn't forgive you for leaving without saying anything to me because I didn't know that was the case."

"I'm sorry. Yuri."

"I mean that day..."

Even though Fee had previously communicated her feelings for me, I took suspicion out of suspicion to not accept it. At that time, Phee was trying to tell me what was going on, and she didn't even try to hear it.

What can I say to him now?

"Yuri doesn't like me?

"I don't hate you."

I was immediately answered to his question. Maybe it doesn't feel good to be halfway through this. But it was hard for Fee to stay on his side as a matter of course.

"My feelings haven't changed in nine years."

……

"I like you. Nine years ago, after I told you about it at the Treehouse, I wanted to say something."

"What?"

"I was going to tell you if you'd be my wife"

"When I said nine years ago, I was only twelve. Even you are not fifteen years old. Don't you feel fast? We were just kids back then."

"That's not true. Yuri was getting so cute and I was in a hurry. I was thinking of getting engaged before someone took it."

Fee said he had hoped for you as his wife since then. [M]

"And yet they've moved on, so it doesn't make sense."

Fee, who seemed lonely, tightened her chest like it had been squeezed out. I almost leaked my heart's voice unexpectedly. But pull and tie your lips tight. This thought does not yet go to him to be understood. My position is still with that man's wife.

Now, let me be your good brother-in-law.

As I read the grid in my heart, Phee did not ask me what I thought of it. He just said one word.

"My father told me that you wished for His Majesty. I haven't been told what I wish for, but I hope your wish comes true."

"Thanks"

"Whatever happens, I support you in the shadows."

Fee spoke as if he knew what I had pleaded with His Majesty. You said you were entrusted with intelligence, so maybe you were letting your men listen to your conversation with His Majesty and me? Or were you listening? And for a moment, I almost doubted it, but I stopped.

I felt like he was willing to cheat on me for saying something that Phee didn't say. I want to believe that Fee, who I've known since I was a kid, can't be like that.

No matter how I rolled ahead, I felt like Fee would understand.
