Parting from Captain Pascal, we aim for Captain Reaver's home as quickly as possible.
"Wow!"
Physical condition is the worst due to fatigue and lack of sleep. The nausea that comes up every time it shakes is forcibly lifted up and swallowed down with cold air.
"Princess, are you okay?"
The sound of Leonhardt sounds directly at the ear. I can't look back, but I'm probably making a worried face.
Still, I didn't want to whine.
"I'm fine."
While facing forward, pretend to be calm and tell. But, maybe, my strength is through the cylinder. The big hand, holding my hand once, encouraged me.
It's not a makeshift lie to be closer to the fort, but it feels far away.
The sun, which had just emerged from the horizon, was getting higher and higher, and the smoke of boiling water began to rise from private houses scattered around.
People's activities make you feel like the passage of time is disgusting.
It's probably not just me that feels impatient in the passing time.
As you pass through the vast fields, which lead to both sides, you can see a house standing in a pot. A building reminiscent of a small country house.
The destination is apparently over there.
Captain Perever arrives and jumps off the horse and runs toward the front door. I was astonished and impatient with the speed, and I got Leonhard down from the horse.
"Late, you ..."
"I'm answering. I'm waiting here with a horse."
Latte laughs and shakes hands. With him on the bridle, I and Leonhardt followed Captain Lieber.
"I'm back!"
Open the door and wait inside without waiting for a reply.
Only harsh shoe sounds and Captain Reaver's voice reverberate indoors. The inside of the house was surprisingly quiet. There is almost no sign of the person.
The sound of the heart that beats the bell is annoying, as opposed to a quiet room.
The back muscles are rough For some reason, I felt restless.
`` Sven, aren't you ?! ''
"Husband ..."
The voice returns to the call for several times.
It is a slender man who appeared. A gentleman with beautiful white hair rubbed in the back and dressed in butler's clothes.
"Sven! Tiana !?"
Grabbing his narrow shoulders, Captain Lieber approaches.
A man called Sven descends so as to escape Captain Lieber's gaze.
The shadow fell on the deeply wrinkled eyes, and I couldn't understand the expression. But I saw my dry, cracked lips tremble.
"Your wife ..."
Like my lips, my voice is shaking.
Asking where the words disappeared seemed like a terrible thing.
be not in time……?
The conclusions drawn with a head that doesn't work decently were a lot simpler than the result of kneading with emotion theory. Therefore, it comes to a cruel reality.
A sobbing voice can be heard from the back room. The women who seemed to be family members came out together.
I affirm my expectations in an easy-to-understand manner, like the words of an adult to be included in children.
I didn't make it in time.
Repeat the words in your head.
Pewan, the scenery in front of me shook.
"Mary!"
Leonhardt supported me, who seemed to be able to make a mistake.
The touched hands are cold and cold. Leonhardt's complexion looked up, as white as paper.
"I'm okay."
It's not when you are down.
Release your body from Leonhard, leaning on you, and stand alone.
Looking into the gaze, Captain Lieber was standing silently. You can't read your emotions from your profile. The standing still seemed calm and depressed.
I don't know how much time has passed. I felt it for tens of minutes and for a few seconds.
He muttered in a quiet voice, stroking Sven's shoulders hard.
"I'll meet my wife ... Tiny."
Captain Lieber walks away and walks into the room behind the women of the family.
I couldn't think of any words to him.
"... I'm sorry I didn't entertain you. I'll be ready to serve you a drink.
It was a steward who was called Sven who spoke to us stunned.
I returned to me and shook my head in a hurry.
"Please don't worry."
She tries to affirm, but Sven smiles with a pale face. "I'm distracted if I'm moving," he said with his swelling red eyes and couldn't go any further down.
I was passed through a separate room and looked at the interior of the room.
Bright white wooden beams on white plaster walls. The overhanging windows are double doors fitted with a wooden decorative lattice. The curtain is a combination of a thick flower pattern and a lace. Pottery dolls arranged on a display cabinet in a brick fireplace. Dried flower gathered with pretty string.
Rather than a noble mansion, a pretty house that is likely to appear in a fairy tale. Both the outside and the inside are unified with what women seem to like.
Perhaps Captain Lever gathered what his wife liked and made it.
People are probably minimal.
Surely this is a castle for his wife, built for his wife to live in peace.
"Princess"
Call out in a quiet voice, not to surprise me.
Leonhardt took my hand, standing on a stick, and led him to the sofa, "let's sit down."
I sat down as I was guided by a beige fabric and a flower-lined upholstered sofa. The cat legs aligned with the table would be walnut in color.
Small and cute furniture and ornate interior. No matter where you look, it doesn't suit Captain Lever at all. But that's why she was full of love for his wife.
"..."
Makes a throaty sound. The eyes are hot. Hold your palms and pass through the urge of tears.
Are you sad, painful, or angry?
I can't even grasp my feelings.
I don't think what I did is wrong.
I understand that it is absolutely impossible to make your wife a Demon King. But even if I see a piece of affection like this, it shakes.
I wonder if I couldn't do it
Did you really have anything I could do?
"Princess"
Leonhardt kneels on the floor in front of me. He looked down at me from below and put his hand on top of my hand thrown out on the sofa.
They open slowly, as if they were blaming the claws for biting into their palms. A finger entered between the fingers and was entangled.
"You did your best you can"
"Well ...!"
"Don't blame yourself every time you get hurt. You don't have to take everything on you that something has been done. You are too strict only for yourself."
Leonhard lowers his eyebrows and laughs bitterly after saying with a troubled face.
My thoughts of falling in the negative direction seemed to be leaking to him.
"... I don't know the pain, suffering, or thoughts of Ernst, we know.
The other hand gently stroked my head.
The warmth of Leonhardt's hand also unravels my stubborn heart.
That's it. It's arrogant what happened.
Even better, trying to understand the suffering of the two is a good thing. Nobody wants that.
"The only thing we can do is wait quietly. That's it."
I nodded a little at Leonhard's words.
As he tries to rub his eyes with a screaming nose, Leonhardt gently relaxes and wipes his tears.
A gesture like a caring brother, which would be complicated when treated as a child, was just comfortable now.
