The day after Prince Cedric confessed the truth to his mother.

We remained discreet in our rooms for security.... but.

"Leon! I'm sorry, you didn't settle down in the castle, did you?

"Hey, Pride.... No, that's good... what the hell is going on?

Leon came to visit our castle again, as previously declared. There was no reason for the boulders to drive back the first prince of the kingdom of Anemone, an ally, and my mother gave me permission to welcome Leon.... with a tremendous number of powerful knights escorted.

There were already several 4th Squad knights surrounded by Leon waiting for me in the guest room, plus the escort that Leon had brought with him… pah, it was as if Leon was in the cuttlefish on the bitter crowd.

Briefly explaining the situation to Leon as far as I could tell, his jade eyes turned round.

"... No way. A second prince, for that reason, to the Kingdom of Friesia...

"Yeah,... so I can't believe we're deliberating, until then, in a strict precautionary system. I'm sorry, I wish I could have talked more calmly.

I'm really sorry you took the trouble to stretch your legs. This is the state, and I'm sure it will be difficult to stay long. When I apologized, Leon smiled back and said, "I'm sorry when I'm that busy." Jack, the Kingsguard who followed me behind trying to relax as he was, went on to say hello to Deputy Eric and Arthur.

"And congrats on your promotion, Arthur. Pride told me the other day.

"Thank you..." he bowed his head, as Arthur was also slightly frightened by Leon, who smiled and smiled with sincere joy. He kept saying, "You're so good, you can see pride, tiara, and Prince Steele will be proud of you," and his face blushed like a little lit with his eyes off. Leon's straightforward words are really destructive.

"Ah... speaking of promotion.

And then, as Leon remembered, he leaked his voice. Ha-ha-ha, me and Deputy Eric noticed at about the same time and looked at each other. Shit. Shit.

"Congratulations from Pride"

"Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh."

Unexpectedly holding Leon's mouth in both hands with an unexplained oddity so as to block Leon's words. Leon's eyes circled again with a muggle and a short voice.

If you look back as you go, Arthur is closing your eyes. Deputy Eric said quickly, "If you're talking about royalty, you'll have confidentiality, and we're waiting outside the room," and he forcefully pulled the other knights and Arthur out of the room. Just before closing the door, he tells me with a cramped grin that if you need anything, please call me right away.

Batan! and the door closed with a rushing noise.

"... I'm sorry, Leon. Hey, there's a lot going on...

Gently loosen your hands from Leon's mouth and attach them to your cheeks as they flow. My cheeks are getting slightly red because of the sudden holding of my breath from my mouth.

"Yes... no, that's... eh.

It's good... and with a small voice, pompous and Leon responds. My eyes were pointed straight at me with a tight, round opening.

"Uh... well... actually, I failed to celebrate Arthur.

Unexpectedly, he answers Leon with a bitter laugh, twisting his neck with failure. Then Leon began to worry that there was something wrong with the ingredients.

"No, I cooked well. It's just that... someone else ate me.

It's hard to say Cedric to a boulder. Leon tilted his little neck strangely as he put his cheeks at his fingertips and deluded himself.

"What the First Princess made you... is there someone like that on your own?"

I am the second prince of the kingdom of Sursis, and it has finally become an air of indescribability. The way Leon said it was clearly a heartfelt question, something like that. Still, he laughed at me as soon as he picked up the ingredients again, guessing what I was trying not to dare say. I don't know what to do, I'm so sweet I want to cry.

"Besides,... there's just no one there and I need to make sure.

He looked around the room and made sure Leon kept his voice down a little and changed the subject.

"By the way... is the Second Prince still here?

Slightly, I lean my neck this time to Leon's surprised look.

"Yeah, I'm planning on having you stay at least two more days.... Something for him?

I could call Cedric if I had to, or I could get permission from my mother, but then I went on and Leon said, "Yeah, to him," and turned a smooth grin on me.

"Because the only thing I wanted to see was pride.

... another very straightforward word flew by.

It lit up inadvertently, and when I laughed to hide it and gave it back, Leon's grin began to mix with a step by step luster. Keep it up, you'll stroke my hair.

"Has the Second Prince ever been disrespectful?

Gikuri.

No way. Suddenly you follow the core, your shoulders go up and down. From the time you left me the message, Leon would have noticed Cedric's problems with his words and behavior, and maybe his sobering up to now had some anticipation.

Leon's grin fades gradually to me, having trouble replying with my grin unintentionally stiffening. Keeping her face gently close to me, she put her mouth straight from side to ear so that her face intersects.

"... is something wrong...?

The voice, which asked quietly, had increased slightly in depth. I don't know... it's suddenly getting cold. Is it because he whispered in his ear to dare talk about hissocks?

Uh... and Leon pulled his face at me in the mouth cage, and now his luscious glance glowed as a high-height Leon peeked into me.

"Something,... done...?

A little anxious, and somewhere suspiciously probing, my face ignites and I turn away. I don't know what to do, I don't really want to say Cedric's evil impression to Leon, the first prince of the kingdom of Anemone.

Pride, they called me by name, and the gaze of exploring me was gradually distorted anxiously as I raised my face to Leon in conception.

"Are you okay...?

I can't help but notice the jade color of my eyes. Shit, I made you worry. It's like saying something's happened either way if you say so much.

"It's okay, because there was a lot going on at first, but now it's mostly settled. I'm sorry to bother you.

Leon laughs smoothly to meet it as he manages to make it laugh

"... if anything happened, you would have called me to mediate.

... laughed, leaked a pitiful voice as it was. When I noticed it, the eyes had another suspicious glow and so much colour from my body that my breath was stuck.

"Pride.... I'm worried about you.

I can't take my eyes off Leon and my face lights up so I can be pushed by the colour gradually. He gently took my hand in a relaxed state.

"... because I can't be around forever.

Even Leon's expression sank pitifully, wondering if he was gripped by the power of his fingertips alone. I try to chew my lower lip slightly and you stare at me.

"Oh,... I'm sorry, you worried me. But we can't let Leon, the first prince of our allies, mediate."

"I'm not as the first prince. We're allies, aren't we?

My mouth tightens again when I am told in strong words to strike off my words and I try to make excuses. When I lost my words, Leon apologized "sorry" with a stiff look on his face.... even though he's not bad at all.

After a short silence, for a moment Leon sounded breathtaking. I wondered what was wrong, and I looked up.

There was an eye with a strong will that I hadn't had earlier.

When I accidentally opened my eyes, Leon called me "Pride" with his usual smooth grin. If I answered, he grinned gently.

"From now on, you can count on me properly...?

The grin did not feel fine dust such as the previous dust. I make him snort again and again so that I can be pressured by his laughter. "Yeah... of course." Leon grinned softly as she relieved herself heartily, giving me her pinky finger.

"Then... promise.

Leon, who broke his cheek like a child, offered his pinky finger still with a smooth grin intact and kept waiting for it to be offered by me as well.

I understood what he wanted to do and tangled my pinky fingers from me as well. Leon's skin was whiter than mine, and the difference was unnecessarily noticeable when it got tangled.

"... Promise.

I promise to put it into words properly with a little force in my fingers that tangle with him.

Then Leon's white skin, which had given him a finger from himself, became gradually reddish. My cheeks stained because of my white skin turned pink. Leon's eyes glistened like gems staring at his tangled pinky fingers. The smiling mouth is gently loose.

Leon couldn't take his eyes off his fingers tied together with his cheeks pink to see if the way he promised like a child was illuminating.

I was also lit up to be caught, and I said, "Where did you remember that? When I asked," The child under the castle taught me. "

"When you make the kingdom of Anemone a good country that you can be proud of with all your chest up all the time.... so I promised those kids, too.

That's what he told me. Leon broke soft as I recall.

Seeing that grin, I finally relaxed my physical tension. When you loosen the power of the fingers that tie loosely and slowly, your fingers naturally release. Leon raised his pinky finger to his current position as if he felt uncomfortable, bending and staring at it as if it was difficult.

"…………… Promise.

The last time he whined and smiled so small, Leon walked towards the door satisfactorily.

"I'll be fine dropping you off today.

I still have business at the castle, so when I tried to get out the door with it, I dared to be controlled with one hand, and I was turned down. He took the squire and escorts who were waiting in front of the door as they were and left the room to be replaced by the Kingsguard knights. "I'm sorry to hear that," he said to Arthur at the time of the mistake, gently slapping Pong and shoulder.... Arthur said, as I don't know why, "Yes...?" Though he was twisting his neck.

"Uh... what were they talking about after all?

He looked me in the eye with his eyes round as Arthur wanted an explanation. He nodded loudly as he was very convinced when I replied with a bitter laugh, "I think I was worried about Cedric, and I was worried about Leon, too".

Deputy Eric was also behind Arthur's back, and he managed to breathe into what he misled. My face suddenly turned red when I gently eared "Thank You" in his ear so Arthur wouldn't notice me. It seems that now the tension has returned when I tried to delude myself. I went straight back to my room with everyone, feeling a little worse.

Along the way, Leon and I were in the middle of the hallway, surrounded by knights, but didn't return to the guest room, saying, "I'm just letting you wait here."... Looks like it's in the lizard after all.

Second, remember and look at my little finger. It's a little finger tangled with Leon. I didn't think I was going to do it in this world and this year.

'From now on, you'll rely on me properly...?

A year ago, I think you made a similar promise to Style and Arthur and Tiara.... No, that's not all. Sure, not long ago... with that guy.

I remembered the words of that time and kept them firmly in my chest.

... If you promised, we need to keep it right.

Because I have so many people to rely on.

Once again, he stepped into his room, ready to go.
