Okay. Okay.

She said she had the rest of the chores, and Mary left the room.

I'm really a keen maid.

You may rest a little, but you always serve me while I'm at home. That's true even with the massage I gave you earlier. She becomes her and moves for me. [M]

Hmph ♪

I heard Mary's nose singing from the kitchen. I wonder if you wash dishes.

... on the contrary, I can't hear Ray's noisy voice all the time.

"Phew...."

I get up and leave my room. [M]

Then he stopped in front of Ray's room and knocked modestly.

"Ray, come on."

"...... yeah"

As you can imagine, her voice is not as generous as usual.

--I guess I have a lot to think about with her.

The royal castle is where Princess Leimira spent half her life. I can't believe it was the home of the Arseus Relief Party... Ray's heart aches.

"May I come in?"

"...... yeah"

Upon receiving the reply, I slowly open the door. [M]

Reimira Li Arseus.

As a royal family, my childhood friend was lying on the table in the room. [M] You must have been thinking in this attitude all along. There are red marks on the forehead.

"Arios... welcome back"

"Yeah."

It was a weird greeting, but don't dare touch it. It wasn't a joke, it seemed like you were making a mistake.

I see the clock hanging on the wall.

There's still plenty of time for the Alliance to assemble. There will be no problem if I talk a little.

When I sat opposite her, I looked straight at the familiar eyes. [M]

"Well... what is it? Are you okay?"

…………

Ray did not answer the question and said again, lying face to face at the table.

Um... Actually, I was gonna shut up about this... but can I bump it off?

"Nah, what?

"I want to live in the village of Rustahl because I want to stay with Arios all the time. But... actually, there was another reason."

Is that so?

"Never thought about it? The vacation I was given was too long."

…………

That's true.

Ray is the second princess and trusts the king. Besides, you can use the "Holy Magic", which is a higher skill, and your head is also sharp.

She treats her as usual, but her status is incomparable to that of ordinary people.

Nevertheless.

She's always with me. [M]

You shouldn't be free all the time with the royal family. I wonder why, even though I have the proper official duties.

The answer to that question came out of Ray's mouth a few seconds later.

"... it's all Niisama Rafer's fault. For oniisama, I am a political enemy who may take the throne of the next king. How many times did an assassin in a black robe kill me while I was at the royal castle...."

"What, an assassin!?

And he's wearing a black robe.

I don't want to think about it, but it's so obvious who he is.

"That's why I ran away from oniisama. They'll definitely kill you if you don't."

No, no, no.

Wait a minute.

"Ray, now that Lord Rafer has given you an indefinite vacation...."

"I'm sure that's what you're aiming for. The face is playing" My Understanding Brother, "while keeping me away from the political situation. Niisama's day on the throne isn't that far."

"Ha... haha..."

I can't forbid a dry laugh.

Because you can't believe it, can you?

I didn't know there was such a sophisticated battle going on.

"But of course... I thought you were a stranger. At first glance, my waist is soft, but my eyes are sharp...."

"Yeah, honestly, I don't know what oniisama's thinking either...."

That's right.

What the hell are you working with a terrorist organization for?

I don't think it's about that prince to satisfy his own desires, like Euphaus.

But...

The Goddess Diez, the First Sword Saint Pharaoh, and the First King Organ.

- Arios. I want you to be stronger. In case of catastrophe...

The motivation of the various people who once laid the foundations of the kingdom to entrust me with something.

It feels like it's gradually becoming clear.

"That's why... I'm scared."

Ray showed the truth for the first time.

"I can't see what oniisama's thinking... where he's pulling the kingdom... at all..."

I've never seen her like that.

It's as if you finally spit out something that's been accumulating.

That's why I...

"Haha... that's stupid."

All I could do was smile bitterly.

"If you had said that from the beginning, you would have accepted it normally.... is it true that the steady part is the same as before?"

"Arios...."

"Ray, the McBa family is gone, but... I've always dreamed of being your escort. And that dream is still alive."

It was a dream that I gave up for a while because I was given an out-of-the-box skill.

Defeat Dudley and defeat Leon. I have been able to overcome many battles so far.

So...

"This Alios McBa. It's unofficial, but I'd like to apply for your escort.... I wonder?

"Ah...."

Ray's cheeks dyed cherry blossoms.

"Oh no... all of a sudden, that's not good..."

"Haha, after all, it's not good. I don't think you can officially escort them."

"It's not that slow!!

Ray can kiss his face.

"Alios. I want to be alone until the meeting starts. It's only a short time... but can't I?

"Oh, that's fine...."

"Fufu. I did it!"

She was a princess with the finest smile in a long time.
