The Tale of the Teapot Hero’s Revenge

"Thank you for your service today."

"No, my hard work, etc. It's no big deal as long as it's for the servants and the civilians."

The princess won't show you how hard it is to be on her desk all day.

At the same time, I am proud of my fine master and worried that he will crush me.

Although royal, the princess is one person.

"Princess, would you like some outside air to change your mood? The moon is so beautiful tonight."

"... right. Elia, will you follow me?

"Welcome. Because being on your side is what I do."

"Role…. Yes, it's very helpful."

... Oh, the princess's face got a little cloudy.

Did I say something wrong?

Bringing the princess, it was the terrace on the east side of the third floor that came.

It has an exceptional view of the castle, overlooking the wild mountains.

"Night breeze feels good, Elia"

Side of the princess illuminated by starlight and moon.

Blonde hair in the wind and blue eyes that photograph the light of night.

I'm sure it's something more honorable and beautiful than anything else in the world.

That's the proof that my chest can't contain the highs.

"... Elia? Are you listening?

"And excuse me. Yeah, very comfortable breeze."

To fall in love and forget to reply is unconscious......

"Balmillard is a good place. Although your work is a bit intense, the people and all the ministers are concerned."

"Yeah, really. … the King and the Chancellor are a little arrogant."

"Ugh, disrespectful, isn't it?

That said, you won't be denied.

The two of us laugh at each other and the princess is inadvertently turned into a serious look.

"... you had a customer from Stige today, didn't you?"

"I hear you. Lord Gillius and His Majesty the current Queen of Stiges, who is his sister, you. The Knights of the Guards are coming out."

"There must be another one."

"... you were the shadow warrior of Master Perne"

With a complex expression, he nodded cocklessly.

If the reason the princess kept refusing to give herself to Stige is in her presence, maybe we shouldn't let her see you both.

"Elia. Whatever you are, will you keep protecting me? It's my knight, will you stay?

"Princess, even if you say so..."

"I'm scared, it's... 'Cause I'm, I'm really..."

Blue eyes lull and shake in confused colors.

Hands on her chest, and the princess looked up at me anxiously.

"If I know everything, I'm sure you'll let me go. That's what scares me, I can't help but be scared..."

"Princess!

... Shit, shout it out at night.

I think it even resonated across the hallway, but aside from that.

"My loyalty to the princess will never waver, no matter what!

"Elia......"

Running through the princess's hands, looking into her eyes from the front, communicating her feelings clearly.

I have no idea where the source of the princess's anxiety lies.

But no matter what the secret is.

"Since that day, when I first decided to serve you, my lord is only one of you. The one who vowed to give this life and sword is none other than you, Master Perne."

"... Yes, I know. The thought that you are sworn to protect 'Perne' by risking your life is not doubtful, either, of fine dust. That's why I'm hard..."

...... Mmm, I still don't know the princess's troubles as if.

What, am I too blunt?

"Princess, I 'm--"

"Yikes!

That's when some shadow jumped into the terrace.

I shelter the princess at once, and lay my hands on the sword pattern --.

"That's why I'm hard..."

Belle......

Your distress, I think I understand.

I'm sure you want Elia to protect you, not as a perne, but as a bell.

Because everywhere Elia sees it, it's not you, it's this me.

"Hey Belle, don't push me... Because it's out of balance. This dress is heavy."

"Oh, I'm sorry......, come on!

"Whoa!

I put my body over it and put too much weight on Mr. Stra's shoulder.

Me and Mr. Stra, it's time for you two to go inside the terrace.

Elias sheltered the bell and laid his hands on the sword pattern.

"Hih, princess...... Huh!?

Look at my face, it's stiffening as I'm confused.

And the gaze that Bell points at me.

The moment I was exposed to that gaze, my determination to tell the truth squished.

I told him not to run, but he ran away.

"I just... No more bells! Too much weight. Too much sight!

"Also, I'm sorry, Master Stra. Are you hurt...?

"Master Stra?... Oh, oh, yeah. I'm fine, I'm fine..."

You must have thought I'd reveal who I am, Mr. Stra.

He seems a little confused by me for continuing to play the maid who serves the queen.

"You, Mr. Stra... Ah, no, Your Majesty Stra"

"Long time no see, Mr. Elia. You look fine and most importantly.... and the princess."

You drew my will, Mr. Stra, who stood up in dust.

It was the two of us meeting Mr. Stra, but that gaze immediately turned to me.

"Now, your princess is a shadow warrior..."

"Yes, my name is Bell. Princess, I'm sorry I couldn't protect you then."

Pecori, keep your head down, and then we'll sneak in and invite Belle.

mouth in its ear as she came to her sight,

"Let the Shadow Warrior continue, please. Keep your secrets until the chaos is over and keep acting like me."

I gave the order.

The little nod bell gave me that look, like I was just a little relieved.

But it's a temporary postponement.

When you have fulfilled your Tartus crusade, now is the time to reveal the truth.

If what is with Elia is what she wants, I want it to come true for you.

But Elias swore allegiance to me, knight.

As long as she continues to protect 'Perne', Belle's thoughts are --.

"... ha"

"What is it? Dragon Crusade Game Not Fun? You got the Holy Sword in that mass, right?

"... No, it's funny. Finally you have all your key items, I'm excited!

A dragon crusade game where you wave and collect key items as you progress through only the number of eyes that came out.

It's a fun thing to try, but what's in my mind is guilt.

To keep lying to Elia, or to force Bell to lie, all because of my weakness.

Ready to be royal, is it not enough yet?

"... it's too late, and let's go to bed tomorrow"

"Let's do that, I'm a little tired"

Mr. Stra, I cluttered the board I was spreading on the bed and put it on the table with the comma.

Progress, I'm worried you remember it properly.

"All right, I'll allow the Queen to sleep with me today. Come on."

"Come on, already. You're in such a big bed, you stick around and sleep? Phew."

"Nah. You don't like sleeping with me?

"I don't hate it, I love it"

Jump into Mr. Stra's chest with your hands spread out and fall asleep in bed as you go.

When I'm with her, I get energized.

The swirling anxiety in my chest is soothing.

... but then.

Bell's eyes when he saw me jumping into the terrace.

"Please, don't take this guy from me"

As if that's what you're saying.

My weak heart blunts my resolve, and I lie again.
