Chapter 51:
What the hell is going on here. Can’t we go home separately?
All the four of us in the same carriage.
I sighed deeply.
‘Really, I hate this kind of situation.’
I pretended not to know Leon’s gaze from the side and only looked ahead.
I stared still at Delther, who was sitting face to face with me.
‘I don’t think he knows?’
I was glancing at Janice sitting next to me.
Janice stared at Leon sitting in front of him.
“Why on earth do we have to get in the same carriage together?”
At my words, each person’s eyes were focused on one place.
“It’s your Majesty’s order.”
“So I don’t understand all the more. Why me too?”
It’s Leon who made a contribution on the battlefield. Let’s say so, why me?
“Leon is from the Velois family, and you, the master, have the right to receive this, too.”
Stupid talk.
It seemed like he wanted to tie my hands and feet together.
‘I’m in a hurry, but they don’t help.’
I gritted my teeth.
It would be a problem if my father didn’t continue to make public appearances.
“It wouldn’t be any good if something happens to my family even if it’s the royal family.”
“Well.”
“You’re proud of yourself.”
I raised the corners of my mouth sharply.
Don’t you want to hurt those arrogant eyes?
“Princess Janice. Congratulations on your return to the royal family. Maybe something good will happen.”
“……Something good?”
Since she went to the battlefield, the cause was created.
Justification to give power comparable to Crown Prince Delther.
When the banquet is held, other nobles will move. The emperor may be aiming for that.
Maybe it’s a hunt for traitors.
“But are you not feeling well?”
She hasn’t looked good since earlier. She should be happy that the war is over, but why is she so depressed?
“Oh, I guess it’s because I can’t believe it yet.”
Janice drew an awkward smile.
“Then…… Sir Leon, are you going back to the Velois family?”
“Yes.”
“No,”
Leon and I answered at the same time. But the two answers were different.
“Pfft. Now that the war is over, isn’t it right to go home?”
Delther couldn’t hold back his laughter and spat out what was funny.
He said with a frown on his face.
“Leon is no longer a member of our family. So wherever he go, it’s up to Leon”
Leon clenched his fist at my words.
“…… Is that right?”
I clapped my mouth at Leon’s sad voice.
“It’s Leon’s will, you’re good at magic, so you can go to the magic tower.”
Because it’ll give Leon wings.
Above all, if you go to the magic tower, you will be able to escape a little from the interference of the royal family.
It’s an independent place, so it’s safe.
“The tower. Do you really want me to go there?”
“……Yes, that would be better.”
Well, maybe I could drop by your house for a few days though.
I glanced at Leon.
He kept his eyes on me for not a moment.
“You can stay for a while. You have to apply for admission to the tower, and it will take some time “
“Thank you.”
Leon closed his eyes and smiled.
“He, hey! Can I go to the Velois too?”
Janice rushed in between me and Leon.
What’s wrong with it is that she looks nervous.
I don’t get along well with the royal family, but if it’s Janice who can face Delther, the story is different.
Above all, she was Leon’s companion, so it would be better than keeping her away.
“Sure, come and see me whenever you’re comfortable. However, only the Princess.”
“That sounds like you’re telling me not to come.”
“Yes, that’s right. You heard it exactly.”
In this way, there was a high probability that Janice wouldn’t come, but it didn’t matter.
Leon is going to stay for a while anyway.
“I see. Don’t worry about that part. I know the relationship between the royal family and the Velois family.”
But Janice nodded gladly.
‘I guess I’m getting a lot of hate for this.’’
It was somehow refreshing. How does it feel to be rejected by your beloved sister?
I laughed with a pick.
“We don’t have to go all the way to the royal palace, aren’t we?”
“Well, yes.”
Delther nodded reluctantly.
As the carriage reached the front of the house, I looked at Leon.
“Let’s go home”
Leon nodded.
The door of the carriage opened, and Leon got down and reached out to me.
‘Are you learning all these things?’
Although I had never taught him, I blinked as I saw Leon escorting me accurately.
Leon looked at me and soon hugged me gently.
“Le, Leon?”
Surprised, I looked up at Leon, in his arms.
“You look very tired. Then we’ll get going.”
Leon greeted Janice and Delther, turned around and headed for the mansion.
When I saw Janice’s face, my eyes shook with anxiety.
‘Why are you making that face?’
Janice’s eyes, which were staring at me and Leon, filled with tears.
I felt a sense of shame, anger, and goosebumps all over my body.
* * *
Leon looked down at Edgar, who was asleep in front of him.
‘You kicked me out and you got this.’
If it wasn’t for Edgar, Elle might have been in danger.
“How long has it been?”
“Pretty long. I think Delther did it.”
“Hmm.”
Leon sat on the bed and examined Edgar.
‘The mana’s flow is bad, and I think it was blocked by something.’
Seeing Elle looking at me with anxious eyes, I thought I should solve it quickly.
“Did you say he didn’t take any medicine?”
“Yes, but considering Edgar’s ability…….”
He’ll absorb Leon’s power, so maybe he’ll get better.
Elle frowned at the end of her speech.
“I’ll give it a try. But it might take a while.”
“Thank you.”
Her face was haggard as if she had suffered quite a lot.
Leon tried to stroke Elle’s face, but soon withdrew his hand.
“Go get some rest now.”
“Ah…… I have an appointment, so I have to go.”
“What appointment?”
“I’m doing some business these days. I heard that the product that should be presented at the banquet hall has been completed.”
Elle stared briefly at Leon’s arm.
‘It would be nice a cover up for Leon, too.’
It should be okay because it is an accessory that can be used regardless of gender.
He was wearing the bracelet she gave him, but it wasn’t enough to cover it.
“I’ll go, Leon.”
“……You’re coming back, right?”
“Then, it’s my house, if I won’t come and where will I go?”
Leon’s expression was softened by Elle’s words. For some reason, it feels like she will never come again.
Because she pushes me away all the time.
I felt like she was going to run away because I came to her house.
Leon stared at Edgar, who was asleep.
‘As soon as I fix you, Elle may abandon me again.’
Nevertheless, he had to fix Edgar.
Because he couldn’t see Elle’s face full of tears.
“Don’t worry and go.”
Leon smiled broadly at Elle.
“You don’t have to do it right now. Leon, you’re tired, too.”
Leon nodded to Elle’s friendly voice.
Oh, really, I’m back.
Elle went out and Leon put his hand on Edgar’s body.
“Ha, what should I do with this?”
Leon knew. Even if Elle didn’t tell him about Edgar’s power.
He doesn’t know if Edgar will be able to withstand it.
“By the way, I think I’ve heard that they’re looking for me these days.”
It won’t be easy.
There was no trace left, no evidence to be presumed.
“Bring him back…”
Come to think of it, I had never seen Elle’s wrist.
Elle said she wouldn’t get a pattern, but that’s something I don’t know.
Leon’s eyes lit up.
I thought it would be easier to just check it out.
“I need some time.”
So slowly absorb it, Edgar.
Because this is a little revenge for what you did to me.
Leon pushed his strength into Edgar’s body.
Edgar will return to consciousness if he absorbs all of his power because he was able to heal himself.
Edgar’s eyebrows wiggle moved up and down.
“There’s a reaction. Isn’t it a good thing?”
If I tell Elle, she will be happy.
Leon did his job and then exhaled.
“Sigh, but it’s home…….”
The sleepiness that I had because I haven’t been able to sleep suddenly came.
Leon leaned on the bed and closed his eyes.
It’ll be alright if I take a break.
Drowsiness crept in. For now, Elle welcomed me, so I can relax for a while.
I don’t know how Elle is pushing me away, but she was in a position to get help now.
“So don’t abandon me, Elle.”
I’ll do as you please. Let me see you.
Leon’s breathing slowly spread through the room.
