After a beat, Harriet shouted in a panic.

"Ah, ahhhh, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry for your insolence...!"

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, It's okay, it's okay!I'm sorry I made the customer feel that way!! "

Praise Harriet, who tried to jump up, and lie down on the couch again.

Leechee unconsciously leaned down and opened her mouth in a withered feeling.

"The couple are having a fight."

"Fufuenka..."

"I'm mad at him."That's why I kneaded the waste.... "

Mix the medicine around with a glass stick, and murmur in a small way.

It's not even a fight, actually.

That voice has become so much louder than I thought.

"I wanted to quarrel with the couple, so they just accepted me as usual.I'm sure that person won't quarrel with me..... "

After saying something close to monologue, I noticed it and I started to get angry.

"I'm sorry, Harriet."

If you suddenly ask me this, it will only confuse me.Harriet opens her mouth the moment she tries to change the subject.

"Perhaps you're lonely...?"

……

The back of my left chest ached.

That's not it.

I try to deny it, but I notice myself that I can't make myself clear.

Harriet gently grabbed the towel and slowly got up and said this to Leechee, who was facing her.

"Leechee-sama, are you mad at your fiancé...?"

Looking at her emotions, Leechee shakes her head to the side.

Swirling in my heart was different from clear anger.

It's a much younger sentiment towards Arnold.Besides, I know I'm spoiling him.

"... I guess I'm just mocking you."

I realized that and smiled bitterly.

"As Harriet-sama said, I feel lonely."There's nothing you can do for her, and it might be ungrateful. ”

"... Mr. Leechee"

"My chest is getting so tight, I can't help but feel it cumming..."

Leechee gently placed her hand on her left chest and slightly raised her eyebrows.

"--If I can do anything, I want to give it to you."

But it doesn't reach me.

Arnold himself is the only one who has clearly rejected it.With that in mind, I grabbed my hand.

"Mr. Leechee."

Leechee raised her face to Harriet's voice.

"Well, I'm sorry if it seems unreasonable."Maybe you're saying something really out of place.But, um, um... "

What's the matter, Harriet?

With serious eyes, the olive-colored eyes looked at Leeche with unprecedented strength.

"--All you have to do is listen to the words, and you'll feel like you've been given a lot of things."



In response to her words, Leechee rolled her eyes.

Harriet bowed for an instant before shaking her head to the side before raising her face.

"What if I could say something like that to the person beside me..."If I find out that I have one of my own in this world who can tell me that! ”

Harriet squeezes her hands together in front of her chest.

"I think that's enough to make you happy...!"

"...... ah"

When I was told that, I felt like I had unexpected notices.

(Even if nothing can be done.... just telling them that you want to do anything)

Slowly, I blinked.

(I wonder if Lord Arnold might be able to help you...?)

I don't have that confidence, but it reminds me.

That's why Arnold made the same promise to Leechee.

(He said, 'I swear I will give you everything as long as I can.')

What Arnold had just said was what he had told him after his proposal.

"... thank you, Mr. Harriet"

Leechee narrowed her eyes and smiled at Harriet, who was slightly shaking.

"I felt once again that I wanted to face Harriet after all."I'm so glad you took care of me. ”

"No, no, no...!"

Harriet shook her head and took a deep breath to inspire herself.

"I... I've never wanted to quarrel with His Majesty Walter and my fiancé."

Harriet continued, wandering her gaze and choosing her words hard.

"In the first place, I'm not allowed to do that!"I, all I can do is quietly obey you as a doll-like queen of decorations..... "

"Mr. Harriet, that's..."

"I thought I couldn't change what I was born with.I've never been born a princess, I've never been useful, and my fiancé has a face I hate...!I-I 'm sorry because I'm sorry.I'm sorry I was born, I've been thinking about it..... "

(Different)

There is no reason why Harriet should humiliate herself.

Leechee immediately tried to deny it.

"But... I noticed!"

Because there was a little light in Harriet's eyes staring at Leechee.

"From the other people's point of view, it might just be a little bit."... you may be told you're wearing makeup, a nice dress, and just knitting your forehead."But for me, it's not. ”

His face was covered with his stretched frontal hair, and that light, which he could not see when he was lying down, was wobbling in his tears.

“You can now look in the mirror.I was incredibly excited to change my clothes after the bath.My maid, who has been at a great distance so far, has spoken to me a lot today. ”

"Mr. Harriet..."

I just felt like everything had changed.

Harriet's voice was about to weep.

Still, he looks hard at Leechee and tells her what she thinks.

“I thought I couldn't change what I was born with.... but maybe we can change it a little bit.For me, that's such a big change, and that's what Leeche-sama changed for me... it's like a dream. "

A small voice connects with "so."

"Leechee-sama's words will reach her fiancée as well.... absolutely..."

……

The moment Leechee took a breath, Harriet covered her face with her hands.

"Ahhh, I'm sorry!! I talked too much, I'm embarrassed...!!"

"Harriet-sama!?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll definitely remember this in my bedroom this evening and I can't sleep!!"

"Oh, calm down, it's okay!!"

Leechee's cheeks slackened as she praised her as she sank into the couch.

What you just told me would have been courageous for Harriet.

But he did his best to encourage Leechee.

"Thank you, Mr. Harriet." I'm so glad to be your friend. ”

"Oh, my friend...!"

The olive eyes looked up at Leechee with an increasingly sobbing face.

(Mr. Harriet is about to change....... but)

It is only in her mind that the future comes to her.

(I don't know where the cause of this person's execution is.I can't even read Raul's purpose....)

"... if you'll excuse me, Mr. Leechee."

"Else"

After the knock, the door opens and Harriet and I look back together.

Elsie looked at her with a troubled face and looked behind her.There were female knights in white uniforms.

(... knights of Fablania, not Sigwell)

"Hey, guys...! Um, this is..."

"I'm troubled, Mr. Harriet." His Majesty told me to accompany the Knights Guard when someone other than the maid was present. "

About three knights entered the room.

It's not as miraculous as it sounds, but the air inside is mysterious.Harriet shook her head sideways in a panic.

"Well, but, Leechee is the only one here...!"

"It doesn't matter what kind of person you're dealing with."

"Ugh..."

It's all right, Harriet-sama.

Leechee smiled loudly and capped the medicine bottle she had been preparing.

"It's time for me to do my free time."Apply the medicine in this bottle to your eyelids before you go to sleep.The dress and bag will be in your way, so I'll collect them. ”

"Ah! Well then, at least help me...!"

Harriet stands up and starts collecting dresses and bags in several places.

Leechee didn't have long to stop, so she decided to spoil her generosity and took the dress and bag with Elsé.

"Good night, Mr. Harriet." I'm sorry that the guards made such a noise at night. "

"Ri, leechee-sama...! Um, thank you so much!"

“I'm the one who's going to thank you.”

Thanks to your encouragement, I think the couple's quarrels will move forward.

Harriet bowed her head as she bowed to the odor.

"Oh... good night, Leechee-sama"

"Yes. See you tomorrow."

I wanted to wave, but now Leechee has a lot of dresses.Harriet dropped her off and began to walk down the hallway.

Aren't you heavy, Elsie?

"Yes, I'm fine! Are you all right, Mr. Leechee...?"

“Yes, it's already late, so I'll just take it to the dressing room and clean up the dress tomorrow.”

Yes!

As she exchanged such conversations, she went downstairs.

――……

Harriet, standing in the hallway, suddenly narrowed her eyes and did not notice that she was staring at Leeche's back.



Placing dresses and bags in the cloakroom, Leechee separated from Elsé and let out a sigh as she returned to her bedroom.

(...... Your Highness Arnold is still on official business.)

The silence of a single person fills the room for two.Then I finally remembered the extra thing.

(Ghost.....)

He hurriedly lit the lamp in the room, lit the room, and then quickly dived into the bed.

I put on a hanging cover all the way to my head and tried to escape from the sound of the waves, but my heart was still very thin.

……

Leechee gently got up, stepped off the bed she had been using, and moved with her top on.

It was at the window that I turned.

In other words, yesterday, when Arnold got on the sleeping platform of the person who was sleeping, he sank into it.

All the tops, sheets and pillows have been replaced by Leeche in the morning and I have changed them to a new one.What Arnold used yesterday is not left in this bedroom.

Still, I felt like I was surrounded by Arnold's signs, and Leechee exhaled.

(Your Highness will not return to this room.)

With that in mind, I buried my face in the pillow.

(I wrote a bad word on the bread.I want you to sleep with me......)

But I exhaled.

(I wonder if you're doing anything impossible.)

I regret that I should at least have asked Oliver about my physical condition.

(During the day, I got wet from the rain and immersed myself in the sea.Even if you are training your body, if you work late every day, your health will gradually drain......)

Though worried, thoughts began to melt from the edge.

The same thing happened to Leeche during the day.Besides, thoughts were disturbed by the quarrel between unfamiliar couples.

"... Your Highness"

Even though Arnold can't come back, he waits in one corner of his mind.

Leechee slowly twitched her eyes as she misled her mind.



The next time Leechee woke up, maybe a few hours later.

……

I opened my eyes and understood that it was late at night.

I repeated the blink several times, and when I almost fell asleep again, I noticed the sign next to me.

Arnold is quietly asleep beside Leechee.
