“What about Kyle?”
ㅤ
“. . .Sorry.”
ㅤ
“Huh?”
ㅤ
“Kyle went to dispel the barrier.”
ㅤ
“. . .Huh?”
ㅤ
ㅤ
Kyle went to dispel the barrier? Huh?
Understanding what was said, I immediately jumped up.
ㅤ
“Wait! Don’t teleport!”
ㅤ
“But why?!”
ㅤ
“It’s too late. He’s already out of teleportation range.”
ㅤ
“. . .Why?”
ㅤ
I don’t understand why he left me behind, and tears of frustration emerge.
Kyle has never left me like this before.
I’m angry at myself for not noticing that he was gone and for sleeping.
ㅤ
Various emotions seem mixed up, and a tear falls.
ㅤ
“My apologies. . . I’ll explain properly.”
ㅤ
“. . . . . .Yes.”
ㅤ
Sitting and crying on the bed, Chris holds me.
Seeing the look on his face that he’s done something terrible,
I thought blaming Chris would not change anything now.
ㅤ
Crying until my feelings settled, comforted by Chris,
We had a slightly delayed breakfast.
ㅤ
“. . .Last time, we couldn’t build the barrier wall without the Princess.
We didn’t know about that tower or the magical formula.
It’s undeniable that we could prevent the war because the Princess was there.”
ㅤ
Speaking slowly while I take only soup,
Chris explains without touching his food.
I don’t want to eat, but I was told that if I don’t eat, he won’t explain.
It’s okay, because Chris will finish eating before me, even after he finishes explaining.
ㅤ
“It was a real emergency at that time.
We couldn’t let other countries know that His Majesty was down,
And we didn’t have the leisure to be at war with Kokodia.
We had no choice but to go, knowing that the Princess was in danger.”
ㅤ
I understand that well. I went despite everyone’s objections.
At that time too, I couldn’t have gone if Chris and Kyle hadn’t agreed.
ㅤ
“But when we asked about how to dispel the barrier,
Wasn’t it said that we just had to take the magic stone out?
Knowing the location of that tower, knowing how to open the entrance,
And being able to do the physical work to get the magic stone out, that’s enough.
It was judged that it would be no problem if either Kyle or I went.”
ㅤ
“. . .Well, that’s true, but. . .”
ㅤ
When told, that’s how it was.
There was no need for me to go.
Chris and Kyle both know about that tower.
ㅤ
“But to leave it all to Kyle. . .”
ㅤ
“Only Kyle and I know that place, right?
We never considered going together from the beginning.
We can’t leave the Princess alone.
So when it came to who would go, Kyle said he would.
He said that if I’m not here and something happens to Princess, there would be no one to examine her.”
ㅤ
“. . .I certainly wouldn’t like both of you to be gone, but
Why didn’t you consult with me?”
ㅤ
“You would have opposed it till the end, right?”
ㅤ
“. . . . . .”
ㅤ
Because, that’s what I think it was.
I had a feeling somewhere in my heart that I didn’t want to go to the tower.
But I couldn’t do something like pushing such an unpleasant task onto someone else.
Even if I knew it would make me feel better to push it onto someone, I would regret it afterward.
I should have done it myself rather than feeling guilty about it.
ㅤ
“Don’t worry. Kyle didn’t go alone.”
ㅤ
“Huh?”
ㅤ
“Wei and Fel went with him. There’s no problem with them.
And, worrying that they were a hindrance at that time,
Since then, during their off-duty hours, they’ve been receiving training from Line-sensei.
I won’t say they’re perfect, but they’re become somewhat usable.
They should be able to teleport, so they said they would escape together if anything happened.”
ㅤ
“Is that so. . . Wei and Fel are with him.”
ㅤ
Hearing that Kyle is not alone, I feel a little relieved.
Those two are somehow treated like Kyle’s subordinates, and
I think they can handle anything if the three of them are together.
ㅤ
“I’m sorry for deceiving you. But I can’t let the Princess go on a journey.
Now that we’re resuming business with Kokodia, some people won’t be pleased with that.”
ㅤ
I had noticed that.
We haven’t completely eliminated the nobles connected to Kokodia.
Fearing that they might be punished themselves due to the half-hearted disposal,
Those who are trying to handle things before we find out should also emerge.
ㅤ
That’s why I knew this journey would be dangerous.
Even so, if the three of us were together, we should be able to fight any enemy.
Had I been thinking a little too lightly of it?
ㅤ
“Moreover, if it’s found out that Princess went out again this time,
The fact that the Princess created the barrier wall might be exposed.”
ㅤ
“. . .Is that so?”
