Chapter 51
43. In self the princess wants.
“Speaking of which, pride. My knights are safe. They’re back at the castle.
I was good at Style’s words, and stroked my chest down.
Yesterday, shortly after finishing his sight with his mother, the Knights with Val were on their way to rescue the captive Knights of Neighbourhood.
The Knights, who discovered their captives safely and sent them to their neighbours, were scheduled to return to our country today from their neighbours.
When we rescued the Knights as Val guided, and then we were supposed to go straight to our neighbors, and returning today, it was all communicated to the castle by special abilities.
All the cavaliers who had been taken prisoner had been killed, but they were safe. Some of the soldiers had a fever because of the pus on the wound, so they could have protected it in our country, close to the rescue site, but they were supposed to send it straight to the neighbouring country with the strong hope of the knights who had been taken prisoner.
Anyway, it’s really good to have the Knights back safely.
“The Knights Commander will surely be delighted.
Guess what I’m stroking down my chest, that’s what Style smiled at.
This time, the Knights on their way to rescue were one led by Clark, the deputy commander. Although the Knights Commander has recovered considerably from the treatment of the special abilities, it appears that Clark, the deputy commander, has made his way to the rescue because he is still at rest.
The deputy chief said, “If the most seriously injured knight leader moves, I can’t rest the minds of the other seriously injured recruits”. Well, most of all.
“… Pride. After this interview with the sinner, I will accompany you. [M]
Style’s eyes like that were serious themselves.
After I finished watching with my mother and then my audition with Arthur, Style heard the story from Tiara and seemed quite disturbed.
Why didn’t you call me, did Chancellor Jilbert say anything to you, the covenant between sinners and slaves? It was already a great momentum.
I apologized because I didn’t want to interrupt my archery with Arthur in the corner, and I didn’t think it was going to be that far, but Style was made to promise me that when I was called by Mother, Father, and Chancellor Gilbert, I would always call myself no matter what happened when I met him.
“… Yep. All right, Style.”
So I also nod at the style of following this interview with Val.
I can’t believe you’re so worried about me.
“Sister… may I join you…?
Tiara says as she holds my hand.
I was so scared of Val yesterday. Still trying to follow me around worried.
They’re both better siblings than I am.
Going during the glance, Val was already waiting on his knees on the floor while being watched by the guards.
He notices our presence and shakes his shoulders with a victory.
… It’s okay, because he can’t hurt us with a slave contract.
Yes, while I tell myself, I still get worried and tell Style and Tiara to stay behind my back.
“Val, open your mouth. Let me also forgive the insult to me only on this occasion now. Say what you want to say and see.
That said, one step closer to Val.
Brown skin on scorched brown hair. My sharp eyes are staring at me as if I were to shoot through.
“… Bakemon.
Val groans hatefully.
Yes, I’m an unintelligible monster to him for witnessing the battle then.
I feel the style moved for a moment into Val’s words, but I control it with one hand.
“You will be freed from this. … how do you intend to live beyond this?
By finishing rescuing the captive Knights, Val will be spared and freed from further service.
Val can’t lie to my words. After pressing him to think about it, Val only replied that he hadn’t thought about a word yet.
“… Really?
Once, close your eyes. And again, Val stared.
“Val, we must not tell anyone about that cliff from now on. Regarding what I did that day… no, keep all our information secret.
If you order, Val can’t be defied.
“Okay, last one. Let me give you two orders that may be the last to live.
Val’s eyebrows catch.
What the hell are you talking about?
“First of all, if an emergency occurs that you can detect… protect my dear sister, Tiara, with her special abilities.
Val raised her voice “Ha…” and heard Tiara breathing from her back.
Style shouts, “Pride, what the hell…” but dares to listen.
Val’s special abilities are powerful. Ability to build soil walls high and strong. Even though it can’t be activated without debris, that ability to protect me and the Knights Commander intact from that cliff crash is amazing. In the climax of the game, Pride sometimes went into outrages that broke the castle, depending on the route of the attacker. But I’m sure he could protect Tiara. Tiara, the protagonist of the game, also has her brother-in-law Style, Arthur, who will be the Knights Commander in the future, and other attackers. But don’t let that kid get as scratched as he can, or fit dangerous eyes. I think it would be better if there were one person who could protect her.
Because if I become the worst evil, treacherous, outrageous lass boss, it is Tiara who will rebuild this country anew.
“This is a top priority. In order to do so… to protect Tiara, I will also allow you to turn to my orders.
For example, if I grow up on the outside road and command you to kill Tiara, don’t just kill Tiara. Unlike the attacker, she’s a really weak heroine.
Val didn’t seem to understand the intent, but that’s all right. If you don’t understand, you can do it.
“And the second thing.
Second, Val again showed the color of the tension in the words of. Well, I can’t help it because it’s not something I know what kind of unintelligible favor to do again.
“Val, come to me when you face something you can’t help yourself with and you sincerely want someone’s help.
Val blinked and looked at this one over and over again, as if he had eaten his face at my words. But this one still doesn’t need to be understood by him either. “That’s all the orders are. You are free, get out of this castle. Tell him,” Val will walk slowly toward the door with a questionable expression. He had naturally questioned me, “Duh, what do you mean?” as he panicked as he walked.
“It’s an order that ends with concern if you don’t get into that kind of situation.
That’s all I said and didn’t dare say anything more. I see Val walking out the door. As it was, he opened the door as I ordered and was guided to the gate of the castle while being watched by the guards.
“Why did you give such an order to a sinner?”
“Sister, why me? Isn’t it your sister who gets protected?
As soon as the guards who led Val closed the door between the glances, Steele and Tiara approached as if they had cut the weir. Apparently, you stood me up for what you wanted to say and put up with me until Val left.
I don’t dare be the first to apologize, and then I manage to explain it to both of you.
“Look, Tiara is something weaker than me. And… if he gets caught up in something, he’s gonna get away with it because of the slave contract.”
“That’s what the sinner deserves.”
Style absurds his voice.
Indeed. I know that, though I know…
“Right. But… he’s my people again.
If my mother had told me to bring him to justice without trading materials such as prisoners, I would have ordered him to be executed without hesitation. But as a result, he will live as a citizen of our country from now on. However, with many limitations: the contract of servants. Naturally, I can’t support you all the time. But when he really asked for help, he wanted to help.
When I managed to return it with a grin, Style initially pulled me out of his shoulder with a sigh of relief, although he had wrinkled between his eyebrows.
“… ok…. good. Besides, that’s what pride is about, so I…
Staring at that, Stayle finally said in a slightly smaller voice, “For that matter, it would be nice if I kept my eyes open.,” he muttered as if to himself.
… that.
Could I already be walking toward the lowest queen? I can’t believe it. I got a little worried that I might already be alert to Steel. A slave contract, because if you’re a queen, it’s an official business, but you haven’t even been a queen yet. I can’t believe I’d do it, if it was the same place I did it to the style in the game…
It was when I felt something cold on my back, wondering if it was still going according to the game.
“Sister…”
Tiara pulls my hand.
When I looked at Tiara thinking of something, her eyes were already moist. Surprised, Tiara shook her little lips when she heard what was going on.
“Am I… am I in the way for your sister…?
Eh, and I hurried back to Tiara and put my hands on those little shoulders.
“That’s not true, you’re my dear sister. Why would you think that?
“Your sister is the queen, the one who deserves the most protection. Yet your sister told you to protect me…… because of my weakness…”
Apparently, I made some mistake. I know the game in my previous life. For me, the best thing to be protected in this country was judgment because I know Tiara…
“… I’m sorry, Tiara. I just want to protect you because you’re important to me. I apologize if I misled you.
Anyway, that’s what I said and hugged my little body so I could tell it was a misunderstanding. Still, Tiara is still tearing as she clenches my dress.
What am I going to do, stay followed by Tiara. If I was mistaken for hating Tiara… I remember Tiara crying that she wanted to be loved by my sister in the game. I never want you to think that.
I am strong again and re-cuddle Tiara.
“… I love you, Tiara. My dear family… just one, my sister. Whatever lies ahead… this feeling of mine is real now. Please, believe me that’s all…
Seven years from now, even if I do something you won’t allow me to do.
Even if I hated you then, or if you or the attacker hated me.
Please just remember that I loved you here and now.
In my memory, I want you to remember me now that I do love you.
Tiara shrugged and nodded at me a little later, really small but “yes… sister”.
I was relieved by the words, and I reached straight for the style that was quietly watching us from earlier. Grab his arm and attract it. And he held Tiara and his falling style together with momentum.
“I love you, too, Style. My only dear brother…. even if the next queen is disqualified, please… let me be your sister until the end.
Because Tiara is also at close range, I lay a style in my arms with Tiara buried in my chest with her face blushed.
As it was, for a while I kept holding Steele and Tiara tight.
When they cut me off.
With a strong desire from the bottom of my heart so that I can at least remember this moment.
