What do I look like right now that everyone is doing this?
Of course, it wasn’t easy to let go of friends who had been with me for quite a while, but I didn’t cry.
I tried to free Sudar and Johnny in the first place, and this is the result, they were able to return to where they belong.
Also, letting them go wasn’t really that hard since I believed that the two would come back one day.
“Oh, I want to eat something sweet.”
While I was receiving burdensome gazes and thinking about how to let them know that I was really okay, my feelings came out.
I must have been stressed out by the sudden parting. I thought I should put sweet snacks in my mouth right now to calm down this gloomy feeling a little.
As soon as I was finished, Cardin stood up and called the servant outside.
“Bring some snacks right away. as many as possible.”
“Yes, I see!”
The servant, who met Cardin’s piercing gaze, left the room in panic. Soon after, a huge number of desserts lined up in the room with a sweet and fragrant smell. Looking at a large number of snacks filling the table, Cardin said, handing the cookies to me by himself.
“I will lift the ban on snacks for a week from today. Help yourself.”
The ban of snacks I received due to the last unauthorized outing has been lifted. There were still a few more days left, but I decided to quietly take the cookies from Cardin.
Crunch. ~
Well, it hasn’t been long, but I felt better after eating my first snack after the ban.
“Yum yum.”
“Eat more of this, too.”
Cardin handed me soft bread this time.
“Yes, it’s good. Hehe.”
As I said with a smile, Cardin gently exhaled. I decided to smile brighter with a relieved look.
“Princess, try this next time, too. What a pretty color snack.”
“Here’s a stick cookie, too.”
Starting with Cardin, Elvin and Teacher Teto also rushed to me with snacks. Seeing them made it harder for my tears to come out, I ate hard to meet their expectations. So, the three adults offered me a snack for a long time to comfort me after my first parting.
***
Days have passed since Sudar and Johnny left.
“Phew….”
When I spent time in the room, I always chatted with the two, so I can’t get used to my lonely room. Being in the room made my emptiness bigger, so I went out to take a walk.
Leaving the servant, I wandered here and there around the duchy. Then I sat against a tree in the corner of the garden and looked up at the sky. Looking up at the cloudless blue sky, I couldn’t be so relaxed.
As I was being hit by the rustling wind, a corner of my heart felt sad for some reason.
After Sudar and Johnny left, Cardin, who learned the secret of the birth of the ballroom, informed the magic tower and the Pope, the key personnel in charge of the Northern Suppression.
Teacher Teto began his quest by obtaining a huge amount of ancient data to find out the identity of the energy flowing in the northern part of the country after that day.
I hope the results come out.
I was the only one who was relaxing in the busy life.
“Aigoo! Aren’t you the princess?”
I found a cloud that was flowing slowly, and I was staring blankly at it, I heard a welcome voice.
“Mr. Chem!”
The owner of the voice was Mr. Chem, the duchy’s chef.
Mr. Chem was a newcomer from the last major servant replacement.
He has a warm impression; he was also my baking teacher.
“You haven’t stopped by the kitchen these days. What are you doing here?”
Come to think of it, the place where I am sitting was a garden located on the back road, which is mainly used by the servants.
“I was just taking a walk.”
“I see. I was carrying a snack for the princess. Hahaha.”
“Don’t tell me that’s all my snacks……?”
I sighed inwardly as I looked at the large basket that looked heavy in the large arms of Mr. Chem. It’s because I have been receiving so many snack bombs that my teeth have been pickled in sugar for the past few days.
In the kitchen where various snacks are made under Cardin’s order, the dough is probably still kneading hard.
“Oh! I made a new cookie today; I’ll give it to you in advance. Please taste it first. And this is fruit juice.”
“Yes, thank you.”
When he said he made a new one, I was tempted again and accepted it.
“Then I’ll be on my way. Come to the kitchen whenever you are free later!”
Mr. Chem went back to work. Maybe I will see that big basket again in my room a little later.
“Phew, I need to talk to Cardin.”
I will really get sick if I eat too many snacks in a row.
There was also a limit to distributing it to the servants, so I thought I should tell Cardin for sure today. I thought it would calm down again after I received a lot of jewelry and silk last time, but it was a snack this time.
Still, I was curious about the taste of the newly made cookie, so I took a bite and grumbled.
“I should finish this and go back.”
The cookies that Mr. Chem gave me were also delicious.
“I think I should make one, too”
I planned to stop by the kitchen soon and try the new recipe of cookies. Sitting in the empty garden and eating cookies, I felt good because it felt like I was on a picnic.
Tap~
“Hmm?”
I took a bite of the leftover cookies and stood up drinking the juice that was half left when I felt something hitting my shoulder. I looked back, but I could only see the pillars of the tree that I was leaning on, and there was nothing to hang on my shoulder.
Was it a bug…
The moment when I lightly brushed my shoulder and took a step.
Tap, tap.
This time, it was the other shoulder.
I quickly turned my head to the feeling that it was not an illusion and someone seemed to have touched me on purpose.
“……?”
But when I looked back, I couldn’t see anything.
My brows automatically frowned and my head tilted, the leaves fell gently from the tree.
I raised my head without much thought.
“Whoa!”
“Pfft!”
When the face of a person hanging upside down from a branch suddenly appeared right in front of him, I spewed out the juice in my mouth.
“Ack! Surprised. It’s a surprise, princess! My clothes are all wet.”
“Cough! Cough,……. Who is surprised now?”
I shouted at Nelvasto, who was wiping his face with a tearful look.
“Oh, I wanted to make a surprise appearance.”
Nelvasto, who cried saying his face is sticky, came down from the tree.
“No, since when have you been there?”
“Well, it hasn’t been long. By the time the princess finished the cookies?”
It means you came while I was sitting down. How did you get up there without making any noise?
I didn’t ask because I knew Nelvasto had more experience in using his body than most knights.
“What brings you here today?”
I remembered that the class scheduled with him wasn’t today.
“I’m just wondering what you’re doing. It’s frustrating to be in the temple.”
No wonder the clothes he is wearing right now were comfortable clothes that ordinary people usually wear.
“Why was my princess eating snacks alone in this corner?”
He asked if it was because I didn’t have any friends, I retorted with anger.
“I was just having some time alone!”
It would have been quite heartbreaking if I had been asked this question when Fay and Ad were not there. Because I really didn’t have any friends except for the two.
Seeing my pouty mouth, Nelvasto smiled lightly and said it was a joke.
“So did you have a good time alone?”
“Well, it’s okay.”
“Hmm-.”
At my words, Nelvasto smiled lightly and looked down at me.
“I was so frustrated to be in the temple today that I was sad. Everyone loves to pray.”
He also added, “I don’t think I’ll have any more knees left,” For a pope, I don’t think he should be saying that.
I listened to Nelvasto and nodded, but suddenly his hand reached out to me.
“I know how to make you feel better if you’re feeling frustrated. Do you want to do it with me?”
Her hair shone brightly in the sunlight. For some reason, if I held that hand now, as Nelvasto said, it seemed that the stuffy feeling would get a little better.
“Okay, let’s do it together.”
“Haha! Thank you. Then…”
“Ack”
Nelvasto pulled my hand in an instant and warned me as he put me on his broad back.
“Hold tight, princess. If you miss it, you’ll fall”
As soon as it was over, I had to shut up and cling desperately to Nelvasto’s neck. The screams that were about to come out were buried as I was hanging on Nelvasto, who was climbing up the outer wall of the mansion at a tremendous speed.
The way to feel better was to die together?
I felt betrayed, but all I could hold on was his mean blonde hair.
I ripped the hair out of my sight as hard as I could and prayed that I would go back down to the ground.
You’ll see. I won’t let it go!
At that time, when my eyes were burning with revenge, the object of my revenge opened its mouth.
“Ouch! If I become bald at this rate, it’s the princess’s fault.”
The exaggerated voice put more strength into my grasp.
“Oh, it really hurts! Princess, stop ripping my hair off and open your eyes!”
“I don’t want to……. (I won’t leave you alone.)”
“Huh? what? Are you having fun already?”
Nelvasto’s ears had an enviable function of hearing only what he wanted to hear. I opened my eyes slightly because the sensation of shaking seemed to have faded. Why the hell did he climb up the outer walls of the mansion?
“Princess, did you open your eyes?”
When I opened my eyes wide at Nelvasto’s urging, all I could see was the open land and sky.
“What do you think? It’s your first time seeing it from such a high place.”
“…….”
I was mesmerized by the scenery in front of me so that I couldn’t hear Nelvasto’s voice saying something next to me for a moment.
