"Arthur.... it's your turn. Rest properly."
It was already starting to get dark outside the window.
Lieutenant Eric, who finished his break, spoke to me as soon as he came back. Thank you, with the words back,...... I really don't want to leave this place.
... Dear Pride. I haven't woken you up yet...
I stare into the hands of Lord Pride, layered with Tiara, and into that face, which does not move even tingly. I can't breathe in the way that only one person has stopped trying.
Maybe I looked terrible myself. Next to Deputy Eric, who walks over and puts his hand on my shoulder, Tiara also lays her other hand on my hand from the top, "I'll tell your brother from me," he said. Stuck in Tiara's hand, I really don't think there's anything I can do to worry about this.
"... Yes.
Stand up slowly and get out of Lord Pride's hands.
That's really just it, eating and tying my teeth so painfully that my heart is about to be crushed. I just can't feel this guy's body temperature, and my whole body gets cold wondering if he's really going to take his breath away like this. My fingertips were too cold and I even died to my senses. Grab the fist slowly and make sure that guy's body temperature is still in his palm.
Standing up, I didn't feel like moving off the spot for a while, and when I stared all the way, Deputy Eric grabbed me by the shoulder again. I know, I need to rest my body properly. As much as I can't move when I need to. But I really am now this guy's.
Con con con!
Suddenly, a knock jumped into the door.
Besides, he seemed a little rushed, and when Jack, the Kingsguard, opened the door to confirm, he heard Stile.
Good, I relieved myself that I was back and at the same time my mouth was tight before I could face Lord Pride still awake. Mr. Jack opened the door and the style that came inside with his fast feet came straight to Lord Pride's bed without a glance. I peek into Lord Pride's face with a more tenacious look than mine about nothing progressing. Listen to the doctor, staring at Master Pride's face, which is no different than when he left the room. If Tiara looked up at the style with a worrying look in her eyes, she stroked that head with her eyes only once toward Tiara.
"... thanks for staying by your side the whole time.
But you need to rest now. and Tiara moistened her twitchy, round eyes on the style she spoke gently to Tiara.
Rubbing her eyes with her fingertips, Tiara sneezed a little and was taken by Tiara's dedicated maid at the direction of Style. "I'm fine," the last time I held Tiara tight, the style was really my brother's face.
I'm relieved to make sure Tiara went on vacation to her room. Even when you were next to me, you were jealous sometimes, but you should still get some rest. Unlike me, he's not used to letting his body force him.
Then, now after Prince Cedric had compared the door with Lord Pride several times, he distorted his face bitterly.
It was hours before Prince Cedric came to visit Lord Pride.
As soon as he came in, he looked amazing at Master Pride. He had turned himself a few steps from the door and had his throat up and down. Once I saw Lord Pride, I couldn't look any further directly at him. He shifted his face aside and grabbed an eagle with one hand on his chest like King Joan. Even when he tried to come to us once sitting beside Lord Pride with a heavy foothold,... he immediately hesitated and stepped down next to King Lance.
When King Lance and the others asked me what I was doing after the line, I only told them "I just told them what I remember". I thought it took you a while... more than that, I couldn't even think about it then.
"… I will definitely return.
Leaving that behind, Prince Cedric leaves the room.
He greeted King Lance, King Joan, Prince Leon and each of us and stared at Lord Pride until the door closed at the end.
"Captain Arthur.... Thank you for staying by my side.
Sorry I'm late. And Style, who apologized to me, stayed put and greeted Deputy Eric and the others as well.
After Prince Leon thanked him for passing the carriage, he thanked King Lance, King Joan, for Prince Cedric's cooperation this time from Style. He told Prince Cedric himself that he was upset, including that.
After finishing her greetings to the samurai and the doctor, Style turns to me again. If I took a breath without thinking of my eyes saying anything, I threw my gaze at the Kingsguard knight and then opened its mouth modestly.
"... may I borrow Captain Arthur?
When the column captains nodded, "I'm just taking turns," he muttered a good word and urged me just with his eyes. I follow after Style as I'm drawn to feelings, too.... leave Master Pride in his room.
Walk down the hallway and be invited down the stairs to the Style room.
It's just a place I've never been in. It was usually Lord Pride's room where I was escorting him, because Style and Tiara are coming to see Lord Pride.... When I think about it, I can see again that really that guy was the center of Stile and Tiara.
The guards and knights of the escorts that were attached to the steer were waiting in front of the room, and only me and the steer entered the room. The knights told me I was the only one with Stayle and I felt bad, but before I said hello, I was told to gesture and be cared for the other way around.
If I closed the door, I could smell the book and the paper before I looked over the room. When I thought it smelled like a library, there really were books lined up like mountains all over the room and piled high up next to my desk. Overall uniform in colour, the splendid bookshelves were arranged many times more than in the pride-like room.
I thought all the shelves and desk drawers except the costume were keyed, which sounded a little like him. There are some familiar objects arranged on the desk or on the high shelf, and I knew immediately that it was the one that Lord Pride and Tiara had given me.
"Hang up.... I have something important to tell you.
As soon as I said it, I felt a little uncomfortable with the style sitting on the couch across the street.
Are you suppressing anger, or another emotion? It was like he was desperately trying to drop himself or me.
I fell back on the couch surrounded by an overly glossy fabric and my body sank all at once. I get restless and I step on the floor with both legs and round my back at the front. When the style was in an equally forward-looking position, he leaned down with his palm-facing hands straight to his mouth.
When he waited for a while to see where he was going to talk, he jumped out of nowhere and said, "Tell me to go straight." If you get a little ready and honk your throat, your bent style eyes peek into me with an upper eye.
"Sister, it was determined that your cause was still man-made. And the man who spanned the crime, he had an idea.
Huh?
I didn't accidentally have a voice at first.
My mouth opens, my open eyes twitch, and the words I want to hear from Style come to my mind from next to next. Then I finally managed to say "when..." Style pointed at the door with his eyes, once he stood his index finger in his mouth, saying, "It's confidential, keep his voice down". When I forced myself to plug it into my mouth, I put both hands on my mouth to try to change the style again.
"... the Radiyan Empire. Crown Prince, First Prince Adam.
Radiya.
I know that name, too.
This is the country that originally tried to invade the United Kingdom of Hanazoo. He also made peace with Freesia on condition of Hanazoo's security by claiming irrelevance by saying things like the outburst of the Kingdom of Copelandi. Um...
"You will die while you continue to resent the foolish monarch who turned the Radiya Empire against your enemy."
It reminds me of a year ago in defense. That's what the enemy general said.
... Radiya, to the enemy. When I think about it, I notice that my body is getting hot. My breath gets rough, my mouth gets distorted at will. I stopped the blood flow until just now and my heart made a buzzing noise. My fingertips tremble and I can desperately indulge in the feeling of yelling and scattering on this occasion. I even got red to my sight and thought I sucked myself.
"I already struck my hand as staying for three days. He won't realize he's still under suspicion.... We don't even know what we're doing.
Slowly, slowly, so that I can swallow it, and then Steele herself suppresses her emotions, and the conversation continues. If the explanation was poured in and I listened with my fist held in silence,...... now the blood in my body boiled.
Master Pride... won't wake up for a month?
I think I might be trying to use Lord Pride as a bargaining tool for that guy. Slavery, slave production, slave tolerance... n, n. I wonder if he's still awake for the worst. The man, who should not have seen his face yet, became bright red in his head, imagining the distortion.
Just kidding.
"Naturally, we don't forgive that either. Uncle Vest asked me to speak to your mother. If your sister didn't wake up within the last three days...
Once I cut the word, Style waits until I calm down.
Wait for the rest of the words from me, too. If you peek into the eyes of the black style, you'll be here for the first time. The style,... laughed.
"My mother promised him that she would interrogate me by contract in our country.
Contract.
I found my eyes finally opened to the limit in that word.
The inquiry of the Kingdom of Friesia, and the consequent "contract"... I know only the contents, too. It's an interrogation using a contract that you'll never break once you've written your autograph, the same as a subordinate contract or a slave contract.
For example, if it says tell the truth about the cause of Lord Pride's fall and tell him how to cure it, the man who wrote the autograph will always protect it. That's the kind of contract.
It's really a special last resort, rarely used against sinners. Hearing Style say, "I can order now for a week,... it will definitely take five days to make it hurry, but if I make a decision in three days and formally detain him, nothing is wrong," I found out that the royal family was really moving.
Even if we do that to the royal opponents of the Radian Empire, that's all the Queen meant. If Radiya is really the main culprit, and that decision comes down in three days,
Master Pride, wake up.
If that Adam knows how to cure Master Pride and what caused it, be sure.
As soon as I'm relieved by that fact, the tension in my body eases at once and I stick my face against my knees and sink. Good, it's been spicy for three days and a week, but Master Pride helps, and I just thought about it a little bit.
I can tap my cheeks with both hands to indulge. Bachi! and sounded pretty good and woke up all at once.
"Only a handful of people still know how to prevent a leak. With Mother's permission in parallel with other diseases, poisons, and the investigation of potential guests, Father and Jilbert are also in a hurry to prepare from the order.
I went on to say that I was going to go help Jill Vail once I finished my break too. After Style said that much, I came here to start and pull my strength out of my shoulder.
"... of course, I can't stay alert yet. But I also had a little hope.
"That's right...
Unexpectedly return the thoughtless words, then look at the styles.
I really think you've worked really hard over the last few hours.... to help Lord Pride.
Stayle exhaled at once as she deposited herself on the back of the couch just a little bit. "Sorry it took so long" was the word that the style zeroed after such a rare and long sigh that I thought I might have thrown out all the air in my body.
It made me laugh weirdly when I wondered why it was that word, and I shook my shoulder while leaning down unexpectedly. And I noticed right away, and Style asked me, "What the hell?" in a grumpy way. So I...
"... wow, you are.
I said it with too much laughter and my voice trembling, and nothing returned from the style.
When I raised my face and looked at Steele's face properly, my eyes turned round on the plate and looked at me.
"I can't believe we can make it this far in just one day.... It's really hard.
All I could do was drool over Lord Pride's appearance.
In the meantime, he really did what he could and maybe used all the means he could to find a way to help that guy. Honestly, I don't feel sorry for myself.
To my words, after a while, Style blinked and once swollen off his face.
"I'm not alone. Uncle Vest, Prince Cedric, and... regrettably, thanks to Jill Bale.
"I wouldn't have made any progress without you.
I also called Prince Cedric. He said it was a style, to say the original. I don't know the detailed flow, but I don't think he was just watching.
"... because you were attached to my sister, you and Tiara, I was relieved to leave too.
"Yin, you could have done it without me.... I know about that.
Honestly, I still often think he's no match for him. He's much smarter than me, and he's just so helpful. I'm glad Lord Pride is here.
To my words, Style rubbed his lips in the back of his hand. When I wrinkled between my eyebrows as I deliberately tried to focus on my face, I finally turned my face away.
"... and ask for your sister for a while longer. I'll make sure to find a way to wake him up.
"Oh, let it be.
Tiara told me at the end that it was still a secret, and I think you really just told me.
I'm done talking, and when I tried to get up, I clamped myself in, "You'll still have time, slow down to time," he said. Sure, if you look at the clock, you still have time. But I was wondering if it would be a good time to stay and rest.
"I'll only sleep thirty minutes from now. Wake me up when it's time.
... Wow, I was ordered unilaterally.
While I was stuck in my reply, Style didn't even head to bed and started sleeping with his cheek cane on the couch as it was.
I thought it was a joke and watched as I stood in front of the couch, and I really started to get some sleep in seconds. Hey, this is the first time I've seen him sleep.
I had no choice but to sit back on the couch and watch the style from the front. I guess he's just like me and hasn't slept a single night since yesterday. I also saw a slight colour of fatigue from my distracted face.
"... you should sleep beside Lord Pride anyway.
I noticed unconsciously that I had the same cheek wand on the couch.
Even Stayle wanted to be beside that guy for a second. Earlier on, I guess I thought it was okay for me or Tiara to leave because I no longer had to worry about Master Pride's symptoms getting worse...... Ah.
Think about it so stuffy, I'll notice.
Because he was beside Lord Pride, he wasn't the kind of guy who showed a gap in public. Maybe now, I grabbed clues and threads and finally got loose.
"Wow......
Also, there was a lonely grunt that spread thinly and small into the air in the room.
When I looked at the style, the glasses I had hung with my cheekstick poked slipped and tilted. I have no choice but to lift my hips and take my glasses off on my own while I try not to wake you up once, thinking at least take them off and go to sleep. Put it on the side shelf, then lower your hips back down to the original couch again. Looking from the front at the style with the glasses off, it looked more like a powerless face than just now. Looking at the second hand of the clock again, I realize now that I can't sleep if I wake him up.
Well, good. I'm used to not sleeping or something, and... most importantly, I'm in much better shape now than I was just now.
I use every arm on the couch to stretch, then sink into my back at once. I think I'm seriously going to fall asleep in an overly comfortable chair. Still, I manage to fight the sleeper and spend some time looking around the style room while resting only on my body.
Almost, almost, that guy wakes up, too.... Never.
With that in mind, breathe deeply in this strangely cozy room. I started coming in, and it's a royal room, and I'm so calm about why.
When I waited for time to pass looking in the room or on the back cover of a book I had never seen, and then about twenty minutes later.
