Outaishihi ni Nante Naritakunai!!

"What? What? Prince Maximilian?

"... hmm?

Fried and I literally hugged each other until the sun rose and finally got to a whisper sleep in the early morning.

I woke up with Fried's pressing voice.

Apparently Fried was having a conversation with someone while holding me tight. I've noticed that I woke up and looked sorry for myself.

"... sorry. Did I wake you?"

"Hmm... I'm fine, but is something wrong?

Asking Fried as he rubbed his eyes, he said, "Wait a minute," and he shut up.

When I look at that face, I realize I let the reading resume.

But just how about you keep me in your arms and talk?

I thought he seemed to be talking about something very important, and as he was trying to get out of Fried's arms to stay out of the way, the force in his arms holding me tightened the other way.

"Wow... Fried... let go"

Not that my voice sounds like the one who's reading, but it still whispers.

But Fried looked at me like he was scolding me.

"Where are you going now? Liddy has to be in my arms, right?

I meant to be distracted, but it seemed counterproductive to him.

"Well, I thought it would get in the way..."

Still, for once, when I told him why I tried to move, Fried said, "You don't have to worry about it," holding me tight.

"Alec is the one who talks to me. I was just getting a little bit of a report... or I'm having more trouble without Liddy on my side, so don't move on your own."

"Hi-chan..."

He was mouthed on his forehead all the time, and Fried's hand touched his chest like it was then.

I fell asleep with a hug, so naturally I didn't wear it at night. Stay naked with each other. I just didn't sleep with it inserted today. I think it's better.

... It's like a joke, but sometimes there are times like that that that really surprise me so much when I wake up.

Anyway, he made Fried's hand back, still full of energy even though he hadn't slept for an hour, I asked.

"Fried...... if you can't. You know, what's the story? Have you done your errands yet?

Fried looked openly sorry when he also sealed the other hand, which began to make a disgusting move.

"Yeah. Because I generally heard the story. I just don't think I have time to sleep back. I've been trying to get some sleep, but I'm going to go straight to the office today."

"... yeah... you're barely asleep. Are you all right?

It should have been quite a hard schedule yesterday.

He came to help me, recover Andre, go to war... and he was flirting until morning. No matter how sturdy Fried is, there is a limit to everything.

But in the margin of my concern, Fried said as he stroked my hair.

"It's okay. I got plenty of Liddy last night. I've been able to fill up my energy, so I can do something about it all day."

"That's not the problem... Oh, so, what happened? Uh, it's not good if you can't tell me..."

I realized it might not have been a good idea to ask, although I tried to ask in the stream, and I hurried back to say it. But Fried laughs and says.

"It's okay. I was just talking to Alec... and I just got word that the king of Sahaja is dead."

"Huh!?"

"Yeah," Fried nodded a little to the unexpected.

"Just now. A statement came from the Sahaja side. Yesterday, the king died in an accidental accident. Prince Maximilian, the king's prince, will reign nearby."

……

So Fried was just saying, "Prince Maximilian did," etc.

Fried kept talking as he was convinced and surprised.

"Then the prince said away. This sudden march to Wilhelm was decided by my father on his own without going through the council. And then there was the King's assassination plot against the Wilhelm royal family, but you said you cleaned up both of them with your own hands, including the case of the conscription. Retreated the army and prevented the assassination plot from happening. The next king has no intention of inspiring Wilhelm during the truce. I want to make peace with Wilhelm one way or another.... How can you be so flat about something you don't even have in mind? I'm rather impressed with you."

"... really, that's amazing"

No matter how much I am, I can tell it's a lie. Especially since we actually see a man named Prince Maximilian, it's as easy to imagine that he doesn't even have the slightest dust to want to make peace.

"He said he pushed everything inconvenient on his late father... you mean that?

"Yeah. He says he doesn't have a mouth for dead people. The man is willing to make the most of his father's death. I thought it was hard for him to do when he became king, but that was faster than I imagined."

"Hey...... could Prince Maximilian have a real father...... how dare you?

Cain said it before.

He said he didn't think it was strange when King Sahaja fell. And he said there would be Prince Maximilian in the back.

I remember what I heard, and when I asked, Fried looked sinister.

"... not zero probability... on the contrary, I think. The number of soldiers in the castle is extremely low during the march. I was watching the gap. And I ran it because the opportunity came... I guess. Of course, you'll never admit it."

"Well... I guess so"

There's no way I'd admit to killing my father, even if it were true.

I thought about eliminating flesh parents from myself, and though I don't understand it, I thought maybe that could be that Prince Maximilian.

"I guess it's natural to think that yesterday's sudden retreat was due to the King's news of the collapse... I also thought you were up to something because all of a sudden you started retreating, but then I can tell the story."

"Yeah......"

Nodding, Fried said with utmost regret.

"That's why I just can't seem to get back to sleep. On the contrary, I think we'll have a restless day for a while. It was scheduled for tonight, and the celebration is postponed. Later, the day will be revisited."

"Yeah. You don't have a choice."

It's an emergency. Something in the upper echelons will be busy gathering information and not getting ready for the celebration.

"At night, you're coming home, aren't you?

Asking just in case, Fried got a horribly serious look.

"Naturally. I'm going home. I would never work overtime. I guess that just happened yesterday. What? There's no way you're not going home, even though it's true you don't want to leave Liddy at all right now. 'Cause I'm going home at any rate."

"Mmm... good. Then I'll wait for you."

I was horrified by the word that I was coming back. Even I absolutely don't want to be apart again on the arrow tip where I can finally spend some time with Fried.

Pull your cheeks against your chest. Listening to Fried's heart sounds soothing nature and feelings.

"I don't mind if Liddy goes out if she's bored too, but be sure to take an escort with you when you're out of the room. I'm gonna put you in a bad mood, but I want you to do that until we find out what's going on."

"Yeah."

I nodded at Fried's words. In fact, I was kidnapped yesterday by Sahaja, and not necessarily without a second time. Vigilance should not be neglected.

"To never be alone. Calling me as soon as something happens.... show yourself first. Don't give priority to anyone else."

……

I knew right away what Fried was saying was that it must be about Millie.

That's when I prioritized helping Millie over asking Fried for help. Because it was a crisis in my life, I still don't think I made that choice, and I would make the same choice again and again if I were in the same situation. But it's also true that he was caught because of it.

I thought I'd at least listen quietly to what Fried had to say so I wouldn't worry about it.

"Be careful not to get into that situation."

Hearing my answer, Fried looked up. Apparently, he didn't like it.

"Liddy.... you don't promise not to give priority"

"Because... I don't think and act that way"

It was Millie's decision, too. There's no way you can inadvertently promise me that you don't know how to move. That's what I thought the answer was, but Fried sighed as he hugged me.

"... can't help it because that's Liddy. Fine. As I said last night, I'm not going to limit Liddy's behavior any more than necessary. If you're going to take my escort, let's just say it's okay. I'll try to get the escort off as soon as I can."

"Thanks"

Thankfully, Fried gently stroked my head with Pompon and woke up his body.

"I'm coming. I'll tell Carla, so I hope Liddy's asleep a little. This room has my boundaries, so you don't have to worry about nobody."

"Mmm... I will"

To Fried's words, I nodded thankfully.

I didn't wake up, but it's true that I don't have enough sleep.

My head is blurred, and my body is weak. It's true that Fried loves me and I'm happy, but I just can't help being sleepy.

"Go away"

I give a light kiss to my lips all the time, and I wake up and drop off Fried, who rises out of bed. Fried weaved the robe he had left nearby and walked to the adjacent main room. After a while I hear the door open and Kara's voice.

"Good morning, Your Highness.... What about the Lady Dowager?

"Morning. Now that I'm just asleep, don't interrupt me. I barely slept. I want you to come by before noon to see how it goes. You might be hungry, so prepare a meal."

"Yes, sir."

Kara replied solemnly.

Listen to that, I dive into the linen.

"... Let's go to sleep"

My body is tired. Immediately attacked by a comforting sleeper, I devoured my sleep until Kara woke me up intact.
