The Little Duchess’ Home Tutor

Episode 26: Time for Two

"Is that it? Did Atra and Leah fall asleep?

When I came out of the bathroom and wiped my hair with a towel, I went back to my bedroom, and there were two young girls on the bed, sleeping easily.

They hold each other in matching bedtime clothes. Lovely. Looks like Lydia brought it in on purpose.

Lydia, who was sitting in a chair, replied with a laugh, tickling, with her cheek cane on. Every time, he's wearing my white shirt.

"You were up just now, weren't you? All of a sudden, I'm surprised it's going to be quiet."

"I'm with the little one."

I tried to sit in the chair in front of Lydia.

"Ji"

The rotten edge of red hair hits my gaze.

The meaning of this is, 'Is that where you're going?'.

I'll just think about it and sit back in the chair next to Lydia.

"Great!... hehe"

Lydia stood up with a happy voice and circled behind me.

Move the towel gently and wipe my hair.

"Lydia?"

"Ya, sometimes, I'll fix your hair! Or, thank you. Wow, you're the only one I can do this to!!

Rarely was this fabric stone drying my own hair on its own in the bath!

Even though I looked envious that I was drying Atra and Leah's hair, I thought it was quiet, so I finally grew up.

I smile bitterly, please.

"So - shall I ask you?

"! Don't leave it to me! Hehe ~"

Upbeat nose from behind.

Slowly, slowly, and carefully, the hair is wiped - then the hair is dried with warm wind magic.

It's been a long time since someone has dried someone's hair this way, even if it does.

I had it dried this way before, in Royal School, to Cheryl - all of a sudden, the wind gets hot.

"Hot! Li, Lydia, chi, hey, the wind is hot..."

"... now, no, I was upset about this."

"-... haven't you thought about it? Is that true? I'm not supposed to lie to you."

"Uh-huh!

With that said, Lydia turned around in front of me.

Clearly swollen cheeks, obstinate.

"... I can't see your face from behind. I'll comb your hair."

"Ahhh... yeah"

I scratch my cheek and nod.

Lydia holds the brush in her hand and combs my hair.

mutually silent.

But it's not unpleasant air, it's calm.

Girl whining.

"What did Tet and the others say?

"Get him involved."

"So - you broke, didn't you?

"... I wonder where I grew up the wrong way."

"It's been decided since the first day. - If it was for you, you'd be dead, wouldn't you?

…………

I look up and sigh. [M]

Zero stupidity for a red-haired girl who looks like she's having fun in front of you.

"... I wish I had some more magic. Then I might have been able to do something by myself."

"Stupid."

Lydia stopped her hand moving the brush, reaching to my cheek and touching it.

Beautiful smile.

"That's why I'm here. I'm next to you. You're next to me. If we both try, we're invincible."

"... I'll beat you"

"Oh? I could win, I thought?

Meditate your eyes and gently raise your hands. From right in front of me, I shudder, a laughing voice.

The sound of putting the brush on the table makes Lydia sweet.

"Yes, over! Hey, are you sitting down?

"... it's narrow, huh?

"Yi Yi's! No."

"Ah, here."

Lydia sits on my chair. [M]

It's a relatively large chair, but it's narrow when you two sit down. Naturally, the shoulders and shoulders stick together and stick each other's heads together.

Lydia whispers.

"... with me to the royal palace every day, I'm glad to be able to go... but I won't forgive the princess at all"

"Cheryl's a really troubled kid."

"... that child has been, ever since he was in Royal School. It's all over the place. When it comes to you, especially! Okay?"

Her Highness the red-haired princess looked at me.

The usual Rin 'sword princess' is nowhere to be found, the look in front of the little one trying to be foolish.

"Ya, sure, Sy, Cheryl is prettier, and, wow, better than me... well, the... um, breasts might be bigger too, but ah, you're my what, so hey! Hey!! Hey!!!

"Yes, sir."

"Yes, once... uhh... idiot... more, stroke it"

Continue gently stroking Lydia's roaring hair.

- Eventually, Her Royal Highness the Red-haired Princess began to sing her nose.

Often, it's the same song Mr. Lily sings.

We were friends with the outing.

"... more than that, if you think about dishonor, I'll seriously bite your arm"

"... I haven't thought about it. Can we have a little serious talk? Drinking wine, too."

…………

Lydia shuts her mouth reluctantly. Because I'm serious about chewing.

Pong, and slap his head up.

Lydia then stood up with my arm in her arms.

"We're just gonna get some wine, right?

"... I don't want to leave"

"... I have no choice, Your Highness."

"Her Royal Highness, I don't know."

While we interact all the time, we leave the room, turn on the little lights and quietly go to the kitchen.

Open the ice freezer and remove two bottles of red wine and cheese.

In the meantime, Lydia also moves one hand, opens the shelf with wind magic, uses floating magic to secure two glasses floating.

I usually feel a strong will to use even magic that I don't use first… never let go of my arm.

Zito, if you turn your eyes, you're proud of yourself for some reason.

"It's the magic I learned from you. You haven't forgotten, have you?

"Ha... this is it, genius!

"I'll return the words exactly as they were."

As we hung up, we went back to the bedroom and poured wine into the glass

"Cheers."

Quietly bump each other's glasses to keep Atra and Leah awake.

A bite - delicious.

Cut the cheese with a blade of wind and ice and let Lydia eat one.

"Yes."

"Mmm."

Lydia took one and went to my mouth, honestly.

Me too.

Roaring, talking.

"Let's check first - we're behind the scenes."

"Right. Besides."

Lydia wiped my mouth and licked my fingers.

Move that finger - magically projecting a continent-wide diagram.

Kingdom in the centre.

Eustine Empire to the north.

Union of Hokuriku to the South.

The Republic of Laranoa to the northeast.

And to the East - the Knights of the Holy Spirit.

Lydia moves her thin fingers.

"The kingdom, the empire and the coalition are under the chaos associated with this rebellion and its aftermath. After all, I can't move. We haven't received any details yet, but there's going to be a coup d 'état in Laranoa."

I nod and give my thoughts.

"Perhaps behind it are the Knights of the Holy Spirit and even the Pontifical Agency. And your prediction is - I'm the target. In other words."

"I won't allow it to be" "". Never, never forgive. If it does, I'll follow you, too. That's not true -... never again!

…………

They took control of the front desk and wandered. Had they read the thought?

Lydia reached out and grabbed my hand.

"It did work when it was a black dragon. But it's... it's a miracle, right? If I did it a thousand times, I'd only succeed once. Oh, no..."

"Lydia"

Calling his name and smiling, his fingers slip in as he looks like he's about to cry, and he grips his hand hard and hard.

I shake it back, too.

"- Okay. I won't, it's okay."

"... Really?

"Yeah."

"... then fine"

Groaning so, Lydia opened her mouth in embarrassment.

I'm no match for this kid.

- Four years ago, since we met at the Royal School, all the time.
