TSFHA - Chapter 126



Ryan stared intently at Nike's face, his eyes narrowed, as if trying to gauge the intention of his sudden question.

Even though he's covered in dirt and dust from fighting, he's still handsome!

Indeed, it wasn't a lie that Bunny, who was infinitely weak in appearance, fell in love at first sight on the battlefield.

Moreover, he is a member of the royal family, and unlike the still young Vania, he has grown up to be a tall and handsome man.

"Huh! The Third Prince was twenty when you first met him? Why was the royal family still unmarried until that age?"

When Ryan first learned the identity of the 'Windsor Castle Starter' and heard the story of Nike from Vania, he was amazed.

Because the term ‘unmarried adult member of the royal family’ was unfamiliar to his common sense.

Usually, royal family members get engaged quickly.

The royal family of Valencia was particularly fond of hands.

"Actually, people around himwere really giving him the heads up, but he didn't do it on purpose. Because he was a knight. Because he could die at any moment."

"Then shouldn't we get engaged sooner? You could die easily, so you should have children quickly."

“Oh, Dad, you really are so unromantic...!”

According to Vania, it was Nike's intention to reject the many marriage proposals.

Since he's always on the edge of death, he thinks Nike was worried that his future partner would lose him and become a widow...

“No, then why are you dating him?”

“Because we, we had a destiny we couldn’t refuse...!”

This is ridiculous.

Anyway, Ryan assumed that since Vania was so confident, the two would naturally start dating again.

So, he had already drawn a line to meet her when she was fully grown...

Will Nike ever love Vania again?

Even this time, he ended up seeing Vania's younger self, whom he couldn't even feel affection for as a person of the opposite sex.

At this point, when so much has changed since the regression, what if they can't become lovers again?

“What if that person doesn’t love me this time... or starts liking someone else...”

Ryan feels so sorry for Vania, who has to live her entire life with the memory of loving only herself.

“Well... there are a lot of women around you, and since you are a member of the royal family, I know you’ll get a lot of marriage proposals.”

“...”

“I know this is a very selfish and presumptuous request... but please wait a moment.”

Every time Ryan thinks of Vania crying, his heart aches...

“Please don’t meet other women.”

Ryan asked sincerely.

"Of course, even if you say you'll wait, I know I'm a criminal, and meeting the Prince later will be problematic. I know that. I know that..."

Vania is no longer the daughter of a high-ranking noble. She's the daughter of Ryan, a man with a criminal record, and the daughter of a Baron of a humble family.

How dare she stand next to the royal family?

Unfortunately, nothing has changed before or after the return. The imperial court will never welcome Vania as Nike's partner.

“I would like to ask you this favor.”

Ryan bowed deeply.

It's no different from being a swindler. Even the timing of helping and asking Nike on the battlefield is incredibly poor.

Still, Ryan does it.

Our bunny... is so pitiful...

“I won’t meet them.”

At that moment, Nike hurriedly raised Ryan, who was bowing down.

“I won’t meet anyone else. Never.”

Nike spoke more firmly to Ryan, who was looking at him in surprise.

"There was no need to ask such a favor. And it doesn't matter to me that you're a criminal."

“...”

“So don’t worry unnecessarily.”

“Really...?”

Nike felt bad for making Ryan ask him such a favor.

If you think about it... It was definitely something to worry about.

He couldn't think carefully about it.

In fact, what Nike had gained even before he recalled his fragmented memories was an intense 'emotion' he had never felt towards anyone in this life.

Maybe… ‘love’.

The reason he started digging into his memories was that he wanted to somehow trace back those heart-fluttering emotions.

Even though he doesn't know the person, it makes him unable to sleep, and makes him suffer from an inexplicable fever...

A feeling so precious.

Now that he's found the one, will he ever meet someone else?

Nike wanted to tell his true feelings, but he was embarrassed. And he didn't have the time to do so here and now.

So he just kept it short.

“I am sure I cannot love anyone else.”

Ryan's eyes widened slightly in surprise, but he soon chuckled.

“It puts my mind at ease when you say it like that.”

"...Yes."

“Ahaha! Then I’ll clean up here and go back, so you go back first!”

Nike also felt relieved when he saw Ryan's expression, which had become much more relaxed.

Nike also felt fortunate.

He's so glad there's Ryan who thinks of Vania so much...

Nike smiled faintly and turned away. Then, a thought suddenly occurred to him.

A memory that was dug up a long time ago.

“...You’re already twenty-one, why aren’t you engaged?”

“I have no thoughts.”


At the time, he didn't know who the other person was.

It was just that the conversation was so vividly etched in his mind that it almost came to mind for the first time.

“Could you please ask me why I don’t do it?”

“Why don’t you do it, Princess?”

“Because the Prince has no thoughts.”


Now he knows that it was Vania who made that bold statement.

Nike laughed.

After laughing like an idiot for a while...

He felt eyes on him.

The adjutant who had been behind until now was Reiner.

“...?”

Eyes that bulge out as if they would fall out.

A gaping mouth.

Renier had a strange expression on his face.

"What's the matter?"

Nike, who was passing by Renier without thinking, suddenly stopped.

“Please don’t meet other women.”

“I won’t meet anyone else. Never.”

...

“Of course, even if you wait, I know that since I am a criminal, it will be a problem if I meet the Prince later...”

“...It doesn’t matter to me that you are a criminal.”

Nike turned around and said immediately.

"No."

Oh my god!

He was so taken aback by Ryan's sudden words, "Please don't meet other women," that he even forgot that the adjutant was right next to him!

It's an emergency, help!

Nike quickly glanced at Ryan in the distance.

He created a huge misunderstanding and is just smiling brightly and organizing his weapons.

"Ah..."

Rather, when he gave him a glance, Renier's suspicious gaze deepened.

Ryan, Ryan...

It's all really good...

It's too hot, that's the problem.

“I am not incompetent.”

“Please don’t meet other women.”


Why do you keep rushing in and looking at things from last time?

“I am a regressor.”

“The one who brought me back was the Prince.”


Naturally, he also recalls the past events with Vania.

They have the same reckless personality, so no one would think they're blood relatives!

After finding out that he and Vania were his lover before returning, he found it difficult to say a word and became nervous...

‘...How do I get out of this?’

Of course, it may seem like they're just blindly pushing things forward, but if you look closely, it's actually quite thorough.

Ryan must have been trying to make it impossible to refuse a request just a little while ago.

He brought up the story at the 'exact' time when he had sorted out the situation and paid off his debt to Nike.

"Ha."

But who will clean up the mess?

“Misunderstanding... It must be a misunderstanding, Reiner.”

"Oh, please forgive me if there's any misunderstanding. As Your Highness's adjutant, I must understand the meaning of your conversation earlier..."

The topic of conversation between Nike and Ryan was always Vania.

The request not to meet other women meant to wait for Vania...

The reason Ryan was worried about his position as Vania's guardian was that he was a criminal.

But!

How could Renier know that?

“That’s why I promised Ryan that I wouldn’t see anyone else...”

Why?

“Ryan’s daughter is thirteen now, and I want to be in love with her.”

...You say?

If he does that, he will definitely be cut off from his precious friend of ten years, Renier.

Wasn't it Renier who witnessed the gift(?) that Vania gave him by mistake?

If two misunderstandings come together, even the closest of friends will end up thinking of you as the last of humanity.

Because it is an area that cannot be understood!

"Haha..."

Nike laughed. It was so absurd that he couldn't help but laugh.

"...Your Highness?"

“Let’s go back.”

Nike tapped Reiner on the shoulder and walked away.

For now, it's best to leave Reiner as he is, until he can finally tell everyone the truth.

It's a blessing that it's Renier.

“Your Highness?!”

Let's live roughly, Nike Valencier.

Like Ryan, who leaves the aftermath to others and just goes ahead and does it.

“Come quickly.”

Live boldly, Nike Valencier.

Just like Vania, who is just like her brother and shouts bravely without hesitation.

“Your Highness! Wait a minute! Explain what it is and then go!”

Under the blue sky.

Behind Nike, who was returning with light steps, Reiner's screams echoed.
