Ryan frowned and poked my cheek.
"There are still a lot of bears. What are you going to do if they come down again? Of course, if they meet you, they'll die..."
“It’s too noisy at home. Let’s go for a walk.”
"Aha."
Ryan waved at the mercenaries following him.
“Go and take care of business. I will protect God.”
Ha, shit. That damn god. Ryan's getting a kick out of teasing me, too.
“Ah! If it’s you, my lord, then I have no worries.”
"That's right. Emma said she'd bake us a cake for a snack, Miss. Come back soon!"
“Yeah, okay.”
Ryan and I started walking along the backyard path.
This is the road where the 'Ratan Incident' occurred.
“What, you got shot again?”
Ryan played with my hair, which was soaked from Alex's water gun.
"Yeah. It hit me perfectly on the first floor from the third-floor hallway. Even as I was moving and running outside, it kept hitting me."
“His shooting skills are crazy.”
I discovered Alex's talents that I didn't know about the first time.
So, that's the whole story of the 'Ratan Incident' that I heard from Alex.
While Merchen and Alec were walking along this road, they met a bear that had come down from the mountain...
It is said that Merchen deliberately ran away into the forest, chased by a bear, to save Alex.
He told Alex to hide in the house while he ran away, but is my brother the type to run away alone?
Alex immediately went home and grabbed a... ‘gun’.
That's the gun that Revan improved with magic stones and has incredible firepower. He gave one to Alex, too.
Of course, no one knew Alex's skills because he had never been in a situation dangerous enough to use a gun.
But surprisingly, on that day, it was Alex who killed the bear that was attacking Merchen...
'Perhaps if the bear had been shot before the Prince was wounded, Ratan wouldn't have appeared, and Alex wouldn't have awakened.'
It's really amazing.
Anyway... After killing the bear, Alex went to check on the fallen Merchen and saw Ratan jumping out.
By the way, now my whole family believes that Merchen is a Prince.
A man who hides a monster inside his body. Even if it were true that he was the last heir to a dynasty that fell 600 years ago, it wouldn't be surprising.
“You damn dog, you need to kill it quickly...”
“Surprise.”
I flinched at Ryan's quiet muttering next to me.
I glanced up and saw a murderous look in his eyes as he walked forward.
'Ugh.'
Lately, Ryan's anger levels have reached a fever pitch. Even while walking down the street or eating, he'd grind his teeth, saying things like, "I want to kill him," and "I need to get stronger quickly."
To be exact, it was after he found out about Aleclx's ability.
Because I've finally told him about Alex's story.
The fact that his father had "trained" his abilities before his return. And the fact that he sent Alex to the battlefield to boost the morale of his soldiers.
“...Is that true?”
I've never seen Ryan so angry.
Well, that makes sense.
Alex's life before my return was so horrific that even Ryan, who prided himself on knowing his father's true nature, was shocked.
'Goodbye, Father.'
I, the daughter who, like a stray bird, reported to the executioner the evil deeds my father couldn't even remember, shortened his lifespan.
But it's your own fault. It's a waste of time.
"This time, on the Southern Front, I have to take down all the monsters. I'll take them all and quickly move on to the next stage."
Ryan clenched and unclenched his fist and gritted his teeth.
Southern Front...
Yes, in about a month and a half, the cycle of demonic appearances in the southern part of the continent, in Farnece, begins.
Ryan is also scheduled to go on a punitive expedition.
“But is the Prince okay?”
"Ah! I was worried too, so I asked, and he said he wanted to go. I guess the Prince wants to see it with his own eyes and let go of his foolishness."
Do you remember?
Ryan's promise to take him to Farnese, the hometown of Merchen.
Since Ryan also had to go to the punitive expedition, a trip to the south for our extended family was planned.
“Are you going too?”
“...? Of course I have to go. I can’t send the Prince alone.”
“Are you going because of the Prince?”
For some reason, Ryan chuckled.
Why is it like that?
“You’re not going because you want to see your boyfriend?”
Aha?
That sinister expression, it was because of Nike.
It's ridiculous.
"I didn't even think about it. What would we encounter even if we went there? We're not even going to the cursed lands."
Nike, the punitive force, will camp in Farnese and sleep out, while I will stay in the territory outside Farnese.
“Well~ maybe~?”
Ryan put his arm around my shoulder and smiled sinisterly.
“Ugh.”
We are not dating anymore.
Besides, to Nike, I am just the 'thirteen-year-old daughter of a falsely accused, unmarried criminal.'
What could possibly happen between the Prince and a poor imperial citizen...?
...there was!
I... I can’t tell if this situation is real or a dream, so I can’t say anything.
Nike stands before me.
Just the two of us!
I'm out of the dorm!
'What is going on?'
So... let’s look back.
It's been a week since the whole extended family went on a trip to the south together.
I was planning to stay at a midway estate, but my accommodations overlapped with those of the Imperial Knights heading to Farnese.
It was no coincidence.
It was Ryan's thorough plan.
“It’s a gift, daughter. It’s okay to be touched.”
Ryan knew the dates of the Imperial Knights' expeditions and even the special lodgings they stayed in whenever they went on a punitive expedition to the Southern Front.
He said that he had become close with Nike during the last expedition, and that he had deliberately gathered various pieces of information after guessing that he was the 'Windsor Castle servant'.
For me...
Oh, I feel like crying.
Anyway, under Ryan's meticulous planning, I ended up sharing the same accommodations with Nike.
That's possible up to here.
That could be possible...
“...Do you remember me?”
“...”
Late night.
My lover... called me aside... and asked me a question I never expected.
I couldn't believe this at all.
'Calm down. Get your head together.'
What did Nike just say?
He asked if I remembered him.
If you think back to the conversation before that...
To be exact, our first meeting was after the regression.
The question was whether I remembered 'that day' when Nike saved me from being kidnapped.
'No, why on earth?'
At that time, Nike was wearing a mask as she was secretly working with a secret society.
Why are you asking this when your identity should not be revealed?
Are you going to ask me to keep my mouth shut again because you think I noticed?
I couldn't figure out the exact reason, but...
Nike was asking this question because she was sure I recognized him, and it seemed like he wanted me to answer honestly.
"...Yes."
So I cautiously affirmed.
“But I haven’t told anyone, and I won’t ever do so.”
Nike nodded as if he knew it would happen.
“Thank you. That’s what I was trying to say.”
"Oh, no. I'm more grateful that you saved me that day. And..."
I still can't understand this situation and can't guess Nike's speed.
However...
It was the perfect time to clear up the misunderstanding!
"I gave you something that day, you know? I'm really sorry about that. I meant to give you a handkerchief, but I made a mistake."
What is it, my pink lace panties!
I spoke, overcoming my shyness, and Nike smiled faintly.
“It’s okay. I knew it was a mistake.”
He forgave me for my misdeed of giving him the panties, then took something out of his pocket.
"Here."
A gift wrapped in blue wrapping paper.
“Thank you.”
“Ah...? Thank you...”
Oh my god. This is ridiculous.
Nike left me, who was impressed, and went into the dorm.
'Gyaaaaah!'
As soon as he disappeared, I hugged the gift tightly and jumped up and down, screaming inwardly with joy.
“Hey, hey, hey!”
Ryan immediately ran out.
“What the heck! What the hell is going on here!”
Ryan must have been going crazy with curiosity because Nike suddenly took me out while we were eating together on the first floor.
"Oh, are you going to date the Third Prince again? Confess? Or are you the one who confesses? Aren't you a pervert, dating a thirteen-year-old when you don't even remember?"
I looked at Ryan.
“Is that so? Don’t talk nonsense!”
“Then why did the Third Prince call you?”
“...There is something like that.”
I can't tell you. We promised to keep it a secret.
“Oh, tell me quickly! What is that!”
Ryan pointed to the gift from Nike that I was holding in my arms.
“Wow, but is this a dream?”
Even though I could hear you thanking me for keeping the secret, I didn't know I would receive a gift as well.
I opened Nike's gift without hiding the corners of my mouth that were about to rise.
'Could it be a handkerchief?'
It's just the right size for a handkerchief.
Nike, you idiot!
Even though I don't remember, our memories are full...
'Yeah, no.'
...pink lace panties.
Nike just gave it back.
I raised my head.
Ryan said with a serious expression.
“You’re a pervert.”
"No."
"There are still a lot of bears. What are you going to do if they come down again? Of course, if they meet you, they'll die..."
“It’s too noisy at home. Let’s go for a walk.”
