"Cedric?"
Shortly after entering the garden, Cedric was found. Rather than..., Cedric's whereabouts were somewhat predictable after we got to the garden.
"... Pride, Her Royal Highness the First Princess...
I won't forget, it's where I ran into him a month ago.
Although we can grab him then, and I kicked him, and he gets traction from Tiara with a knife throw, and we were scattered. I thought he would be here if he had an absolute memory. Originally, though it was a mystery in itself why I was in such a difficult place to see.
I went to give it a try, and this time I had brought in soldiers from the escort and guards from our castle properly, and it didn't feel like I was out of it.
Cedric, who noticed me, circled his eyes and turned this way. Arthur behind me thought of something before too, he withheld from behind my back next door to be somewhat alert already, and the other knights responded accordingly.... Yeah, well, naturally.
"I'm sorry, because I just saw you leaving the room for the garden.
That said, and when I glanced at his expression, Cedric returned me with a slight pimple of expression, "What can I do… for you?" The reaction is ominous again. Don't you dare answer the question. I'll look around.
"You were here a month ago.... for any reason?
Speaking of which, it was a mystery why Cedric was here even then. It didn't even feel like you came looking for me, so extra. Although I didn't have time to think about it, and I didn't care much about it.
Cedric turned a little blind to my query and pointed at the flowers nearby with his eyes as they were.
"It is a flower that we often see this season in our country.... because I could see this flower from the window in the previous room as well.
Sure, if you ask me, I think I've seen it in Sursis. It's a lovely big yellow flower with a petal.
If it did come from a room I had previously reserved for Cedric, I would have seen just a handful of flowers here. Though I don't think he could see me or Tiara hiding in the trees on the boulder.... It's about Cedric at the time, so I'm sure he didn't want to show up in public and chose the back of the planting to sneak out of sight. And he just said that's where me and Tiara took a nap and wore it.
"Having something from the country calms my mind somewhat," continued Cedric, explaining to me that he had come down to the garden with proper permission from both the castle guards and the king. Settling down… does that mean anything is unsettling? I have another bad feeling, and now it's time to get down to business.
"Cedric.... looks like things have changed for the most part, but is something wrong?
Keep a close eye on the burning eyes and ask. Then Cedric, who only for a moment glanced hard into his eyes,
I lit my cheeks red.
Huh. And it's so clear that I'm worried about a cold.
I'm also surprised at the obvious change in the boulder, putting it on my expression and looking back at Cedric. Then, Cedric quickly strayed from my face when he tried to eagle and cover his face with his right hand, apparently aware of it as well. "I... Cedric," he said when I called his name, turning his voice upside down. "I apologize..." He returned the words to me to fix it.
... I wonder what. The severity has decreased dramatically all at once, so I'm just relieved there.
If Cedric had ever been hunted down, it would have been easier to understand, and I wouldn't have given him this look.
Later, Cedric had a slight cold face when he turned to me slowly, but the redness still remained. Down his right hand from his face, Cedric, who covered only his mouth, once again suggested slowly that he take a deep breath from shoulder to shoulder.
"There are also fears that unnecessary rumors will arise in such a setting for Her Royal Highness the First Princess of Pride.... If not rude, can't we hope to have another chance to talk during the celebration...?
I am also convinced by Cedric's words, which politely apologize for your concern, and reflect a little.
Sure. I can't believe you two are coming out of a shadowless garden with escorts, but maybe a little corner.... but it's still weird. Even though it's not an official place now, and there's no need for salutation as before.
"Okay, I'm the one who's sorry.... Ah. But is this all that's good?
If Cedric can't talk on this occasion, there's no choice. Seems like he's going to talk to me at the celebration, and I can't relax for support either. I just need to at least tell him this properly.
I walk by Cedric's side, stretching my back and putting my face close to his ear. Cedric also seemed to have guessed, bending his hips to match my back, although he kept his mouth pressed. Thanks to that care, I managed to contain the urge to pull his ear, and I whispered strongly in that ear.
"I'm good, but don't be cold with Tiara until the celebration. I just said that a month ago. Why?
Take as much responsibility for what you say! and drink to Cedric as Tiara's sister.... and boiled it even brighter red than Cedric's face had just done.
Ahhh... and I just managed to keep it from leaking out of my mouth by accident.... Something's getting out of my mind that doesn't really seem serious at all.
Cedric kept his hand where he was holding his mouth, and instead of his face, it was getting slightly red to his hand. Stepping back to Cedric, who was so hot, Arthur called out "Dear Pride" as he went in between. I don't think I could hear Arthur and the others whining in my ears, but I guess I was surprised because Cedric's blush was obvious. I also don't get words with my mouth wide open to much reaction.... I've never seen a Cedric with such a bright red face in the game. What really happened to him in just one month?
"... I understand. I'm sorry you cared.
I beg your pardon, Cedric returned the greeting to me and left the garden first when he politely greeted Arthur and his escort Jack. I'm sorry I seem to have kicked you out during one of the corners.
"Dear Pride, what can I do for His Royal Highness Prince Cedric now...?
Arthur has turned his eyes round and stared at me. You seem surprised that I've boiled Cedric with one bomb statement. I told him I was "just paying attention" and prompted him to rush ahead.
I cannot say that I blushed plainly as soon as I became the subject of Tiara on the boulder. Because me and Tiara are the only ones who know Cedric's bomb statement.
I couldn't help but confirm that Cedric didn't hate me or forget what I said to Tiara. We shall listen carefully to the rest at the celebration.
On the verge of leaving the garden behind, he looks back to the flowers that Cedric was looking at. Lovely flowers in yellow.
A precious being for him to feel close to his country. I guess he's the one with the absolute memory, which is why he even followed the slightest thing in common with his own country in our castle. Because his memory doesn't miss a slight discrepancy or common denominator.
If I could not see those flowers from his room, where he had lost his place at the time due to various calumnies.
If, by chance, there were no trees or lawns in the shadow of those flowers and trees that could hide themselves.
I might never have gotten involved that way with Cedric or... Tiara hated Cedric that much.
But...
"... good flowers.
I squeal at nobody.
Somehow, when I stroked the petal with my fingertips, only a soft touch remained on the surface.
... It's good to notice his rampage before it gets any more obstinate than that.
Now it's time for me to leave the garden behind.
Reminds me of that reaction of Cedric, and you're still going to have peace for a while, with your nostrils at ease.
