"Well, did you wake up safely? …………… above all.

Right, after receiving a report from the guard, I exhaled with Albert, the king's mate.

Four days after the recapture. Until yesterday, Master Pride was escorted until Val, seriously injured, woke up. He did not return to his room, and although the Kingsguard knights were escorting him, he was left without rest in the morning or at night.

It's not that it's an insomnia rest, it's not that Master Stayle or the guard talked about him lying on the back of a chair or the delivery guy's bed resting, but... he carelessly thinks it's something he was taking quite a luxurious rest, too.

And yesterday, Master Pride was defeated by a recoil reassured by the delivery man's safe awakening. At first I heard a report saying "No way," both I and Albert chilled the liver. but just overwork and lack of sleep in the doctor's story. I heard that as long as I had enough rest, I had no problem, and I was so relieved that I remembered my glare.

"Totally... how many times does that kid feel like threatening our hearts...

It is rarely foolish for Albert.

Even the wrinkles between his carved brows smile if you think this would also come from relief. I laugh bitterly at his words unexpectedly.

By now, it will be around the time reports have also been received by the Queen, Lady Rosa, and Regent Vest. To Master Pride's fall yesterday, both Rosa and Regent Vest were on their way to visit as soon as they put their jobs aside, just like Albert.

"But from today on, Master Pride will be happy to rest in his room.

"... right.

Master Pride's room. Once all the furniture was also transferred to the tower away, leaving all the large spaces. But after Lord Pride was restored to sanity, he also re-transported the furniture, and now it's back in order.

The return itself was considered to have been forcibly repatriated by an overly untouched fall, but it still does not change the fact that the days spent by that one in the First Princess's room are back.... Yes, go back...,......

"... Jill Bale, tear me up. It's been four days.

... Shit.

I rush into Albert's words and wipe my eyes with my fingertips. They've impressed me again. I'm sorry, I consciously breathed deeply as I returned the words.

Four days after Lord Pride was restored to sanity.

I met you in person a few times when I asked you about the situation at the time or in Q&A, but every time I just remember that grin that turned on me as well, it loosens my tear glands. Even though Albert has already gotten over it and the knights have not yet interrupted the tension, I feel a little worthless.

But that one who gave up once was returned. How miraculous that is. I didn't think I was going to encounter a miracle twice in less than a hundred years.

"By the way, how are Maria and Stella? I guess I'm still traveling.

You cared about me, Albert changes the subject.

My dear wife, daughter. They had been away from the kingdom of Friesia for about a month in the form of "travel" with the servants of the mansion. He also took advantage of previous reflections, attached knights with special ability to communicate from the castle to the escort, apart from the guards of the mansion, and also kept in regular contact. And last night, when I spoke through the telecommuters, they were still alive and well in the kingdom of Yabulan. … except.

"Oh. Stella pissed me off about not leaving yet.

I was actually going to make it a trip up to the duration of my stay in the Radiya Empire, but so disruptive a recapture battle.

And even now, the Kingdom of Freesia cannot be said to be completely safe until the signing of a treaty with the Radiyan Empire a month later. I asked them, the Prime Minister's associates, to at least extend their stay until it was over.

I even told Maria to the extent that I could tell her the circumstances, but not as much as Stella. She was showing some worries too. "Don't push me," she said anxiously. Her chest ached when she shook her eyes.

It's unnecessarily painful because we can't talk about Lord Pride's recovery yet. I'm doing something I'm sorry for, even though it's for their safety. We need to show proper sincerity when we get back.... Even so, when I contacted him after the recapture, he could only be seen on his face and laughed at before he told him that it was "good" to win. Perhaps you also know that I am alive and well now. She always knows me better than I do.

"You won't have a choice now. Let me say hello to Maria from me and Rosa when I get back."

Place the letter Albert wrote up on the edge of a single desk.

It's comforting to think there's some backing from Maria's friends, Lady Rosa and Albert.

Thank you, and I'll retrieve the letter he's finished. I couldn't even seal it until the ink was dry, so I moved it to my desk so it wouldn't get in his way.

Once again, it is a letter to Tiara's birthday guests in the country to convey the victory and safety of our country and the recovery of Master Pride.

I am also busy with my visit a month after the Radian Empire and the official words from the subsequent celebrations and Rosa, organizing ceremonies and controlling information. I have to finish this one too quickly before his arm hurts and help him.

You say I'll do it within the deadline, but I won't give in at all this time by saying, "This is also the duty of my parents and my king." Moreover, they are actively working on their own letters to royal nobles outside the country up to Master Rosa. Thanks to this, Vest Regents, who were busy even when they were originally in use, had increased the number of sighs further. When Albert visited the room, he said, "You too, Albert."

"I can't be relieved until I let the Radian Empire sign a treaty.... Rather, even after it was signed in the country that violated it once.

The colour of anger seeped from him releasing bitterly.

His anger, in particular. Because this time the Radiyan Empire violated the peace treaty it entered into with our country and as a result caused such a tragedy. No, before that, Crown Prince Adam and Miss Tippett themselves...

"… we have already decided on the content of the treaty to be poked out. And then if they drink that, we're done for the first time.

Now hang up the words from me so I can forgive his anger.

Nodding deeply at it, Albert coughed himself to calm down and ran the nearly stopped pen again.

"I'm so excited about the ceremony and the celebration right now. I will spare no effort this time to succeed without worries.

You would, too, wouldn't you? And when I threw it, I got the response I expected.

Three days after the signing of the treaty, there will also be a celebration of victory by naming the country. The upper echelons and the nobles of the country naturally also invite the royal families of the kingdoms of Anemone and Hanazu, who contributed to this recapture. The two princes are still staying in our country for a reason, but I want to welcome them again at the celebration. Without them, it wouldn't have come true, such as a battle that wouldn't let the dead out.... at least saving Master Pride didn't come true.

Very much if the wise eye of Prince Leon, the first heir to the throne, and Prince Cedric do not draw Tiara's hand to the tower.

Plus two weeks after the celebration, I'm waiting for you too. The fact that we can do it safely is going to bring it up again. Until a week ago, it was another dream.

"Call Maria and the others back as soon as you sign the treaty with the Radian Empire. I'll forgive you for asking Style if I have to.

You'll want to see Maria and the others as soon as possible, cheeks loose unexpectedly to Albert who tells you.

I didn't know you would allow me to even hope for Master Steele by virtue of this. He is always more kind to me when it comes to Maria.

Thank you, and then I shake my neck sideways. I certainly do not intend to call it back as soon as it is concluded. But this time, safety is guaranteed. It would be enough if you could come back slowly in the carriage. Now that all the important beings are alive, this is too much extravagance. Maria, Stella, Dear Pride, What a miracle, Lord Arthur restored his right arm. And...

"Albert. It's good to see you, Rosa, and Regent Vest awake, too.... It's hard for me and Maria to die until you do.

"... you're worried. But I'm glad you're all right.

He returns the words in a hard tone, but he turned straight to me only once. Clear purple eyes, just like that one. It was even one of my happiness to be seen as a friend doing his job this way again. I don't think I'm happy at all with them still in that state.

Honestly, it was also significant that he and Lady Rosa were calm when they fell, knowing the anthropogenic factors and the fate of Lord Arthur. Otherwise I was definitely hit even temporarily.

When it came to why I was safe, he said that Pride had played me knowing his intentions to make him kill himself.... Perhaps the prince's special abilities didn't hang even if he wasn't. I can guess if I remember when I first had a relationship with him before.

It was nice of me to keep my hands shaken, not the Knights captain, then. Otherwise, a tragedy would have awaited at that point. …… a little bitter when it comes to things that didn't work for me.

But I also wonder if this would be a cause or a consequence of the abominable experience of five years ago, if I thought I could play a part in saving him.

Just as this evil culprit was crushed by the observatory, a relic of bad history, and no trace was found.

I have no reason to know, but I guess that's what Rosa and Regent Vest mean about not contesting Adam's death. I don't think those people will pull it out.

I have no sympathy for the birth of the Crown Prince, but this time it is very unacceptable. If he had been captured alive, Miss Tippett and the others would have made that treatment difficult in both countries.

"... well. It's time to put your back in, Jill Bale. The job still remains like a mountain.

"Oh, even if I know.

Stop wasting your time and get back to work in earnest.

When I heard Lord Pride was awake, this finally allowed me and him to focus on our work. It's not just the end of this one, in between, the usual official duties also remain like mountains. You can't lose one of your hands.

To make sure that no grievances and tragedies like Adam ever arise again.

……

...... headache...

That was the first thing I thought.

Somebody give me some water, and the doctor says, "Where are the pills?" If it's not a place to sleep or a bed you're used to. Ah, no blanket. I notice the pain in my body when it is rolled to the hard ground.

Who the hell are you to roll me over here? I'll kill you. Don't open it. Before you force your eyes open, for a moment.

... I wish I was back thirteen years ago, and my fear runs.

It can't be, and now it's time to open your eyes. Not much different. I was in the dark.

The smell of cold air and the ground. My whole body screams in an attempt to wake up my body. If my face is drawn to the pain, Tantang, what brings me closer to you?

I don't even see him in the dark, but I remember that voice being spoken to. Yeah, the minute I thought it was him.

"If I'm about to get caught, do as you're told."

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

That's right, I used Tippet to get into the tower!

I set the bomb on fire to blow up all the idiots, just like Pride ordered.

If it's enough to give pride to the rest of us, if it's enough to get us back to that stupid bitch in peace and boredom, it's much better to kill him with that same pride, even if it doesn't help. That's right. Pride is mine forever. Instead of being caught and killed by the people in the Freesian kingdom, I lit a fire to die while taking that woman away. Instead of evacuating, they set fire to each other directly without using a fuse to kill them all before they escaped. Yet.

I'm alive...

I have a faint memory.

He was there when he did light the fire. There's no doubt about the bombing. In an instant my vision grew white and the explosion broke my ear, and I lost consciousness from it.

What's going on? There's no way he's alive in that bombing. Why am I here? Where are we, Pride?

It's nothing good that I'm alive, whether Pride is dead or not. Is Pride still alive? So if the Freesians grabbed me, I'd have to replace them if I died.

Thinking that far, the fool in front of me... Tippet wakes my body. Put your hands on it, turn your arms around your shoulders, and let them stand as if they were in charge. Grab it with a fine arm and walk out to pull it together.

Apparently, he carried me this far. You're so dirty, you're rolling me.

When I returned to the country, I decided to dispose of him, and if I tried to speak up, he withered and groaned. There are plenty of things to say and ask, but I can't help but reduce it to just a few. "Hey," he says, now it's time to speak up, and I squeeze out my doubts.

"... the pride.... What... so I was helped...? What are you...?

It's a simple stupid question.

Tippett answers lowly and blurry. My voice scratches off in Temehe's footsteps as I walk thin and blunt step by step.

He said he didn't know his pride. If you're kidding me, I want to kill him on this spot. It won't help, fool, but at least see what happened to Pride while I'm asleep.

But I can't walk without a tippet right now. I can't help but keep you alive now.

Next Tippett answers again. Why did I save you? As soon as I heard that, I would stare and spit at you not to lie. There's no way he can do that. It would have been easier this time if I could have done that. True, I say to the fool who answers pale. Then I'll throw up to show it to you. You're kidding me that this crumb is dust and stupid spits a lie on me. Keep throwing up with your dead throat until the fool answers that the Dobbs crap tool shows evidence.

…………

Perfectly, Tippet stops.

Hang me on a nearby dirt wall and let me sit on the front. Will you say the truth this time? Or do you want to rub your head on this occasion and apologize? If so, I'll step on it and I'll decide now.

Wait for Tippet's mouth to open. Hey, dirty. Keep staring at those lips and you'll feel safe touching my shoulder. Don't touch me without meaning, I yell at you with all my strength in my belly that pride is the only thing that touches you like.

I barely got out of my mouth as a word, and Tippett moves her opposite hand. All I can do is give you my orders. It's useless, but I can only do what you're told. The puppet, it's a big part. If the scraps hadn't been picked up as a tool, I'd have been thrown away and rotten. I can't even answer the question. Where the dust got mad, I just couldn't resist you. It's just a puppet dust, scraps, stupid doll, with that woman's peculiar fine arm.

"... ha...?

He pierced my center.
