"Would you like to know if you have a special partner?

Suddenly there was no sign of a voice coming from behind, and me and His Highness Wilfred looked back in surprise. Then, in the dance floor of the stairs that came down earlier, a grandfather with a scary face stood looking down at us.

"Grandpa! How long have you been there?

Lana, come here.

A harsh tone without saying anything about it. I thought I'd been scolded for failing before, and I'm sure I was constrained.

But now I can understand your feelings. My grandfather's tone is harsh, but he's never angry, and he's trying to keep me away from danger.

My grandfather must know what His Highness thinks.

Speaking of which, the grandfather asked if he knew that my memory had returned or if he wished to go to His Highness's side again. I didn't care at that time, but now I think it's pointless if the other person doesn't ask me where I want to be.

That's what I mean.

Perhaps the royal family hasn't given up their relationship with the Duke of Norris while examining the other ladies. We should leave as soon as this commotion has subsided. Before I can't move.

For the time being, I'd better get over it because I don't know anything.

"Grandpa, I have to see you off. I'm sorry to bother you."

Grandpa and His Highness Wilfred are quietly gazing at each other in an atmosphere as if they were talking on telepathy. My grandfather didn't react to the tingling even when I called.

"Um... Your Highness, I'll talk to you next time. Isn't there a lot of people waiting for you right now?

"... oh, I know. But I don't think I'm going to be able to spend much time, so I'll come back and see you when the kidnapping that's happening is over."

Maybe by then I won't be here anymore.

We want to go back to the inn as soon as possible.

I laughed ambiguously and deceived him without responding, and walked out with him until His Highness got on the carriage and left the grounds.

And when I couldn't see the carriage, I unexpectedly sighed. I feel guilty about deceiving him and my chest is pounding.

Within me, His Highness is eight years old and time has come to an end, but I'm sure His Highness is different.

When I met again at the school party, His Highness called me "Lana" and looked at me with the same kind eyes as when I was playing with him.

The time has come for me in Your Majesty, and I am now uncomfortably connected to myself when I was seven.

But I'm not. For about a decade, I spent little time listening to His Highness Wilfred or thinking about him.

Therefore, I feel that you and I have a completely different feeling for each other.

When I had just regained my memory, my thoughts from that time were vividly revived and I was quite disturbed, but now that time has passed, I think I was able to properly organize my mind as a beautiful memory of my childhood.

May His Highness Wilfred also digest thoughts from childhood that did not come to his senses.

You're gone.

"Yeah, that's right... Chiyo! What the hell are you doing? What are you gonna do if His Highness sees you?

"It's okay, I was hiding with you."

"It's okay... hah, I can't help it anymore"

Even if the place changes, Chiyo remains the same. Maybe he was worried about my conversation with His Highness and listened to it in hiding. Though the carriage was not visible for a long time, Chiyo glanced at the gate and had a faint expression on his face.

"Still, Fred was really a prince... When I came to the inn, the atmosphere was a little different and I felt like I was a distant person."

"Still, if we meet at the inn, we'll have to do it the way we always did."

"I know. Look, we're still talking, so let's get back inside. Sin and the others are waiting."

I was pulled back into the Mansion by Chiyo. At the entrance hall, Sin and Taki looked anxious and waited for me to return.
