Evade the Hero and Flee! 232 A princesss memory (32)
I dreamed that everything had turned black and the dead waited for me in my room. Then, someone came in to save me. My knight in shining armor had beenAst. Therefore, it was a nightmare. To think that the last face I saw before I died was Ast. While only Lea and Ast were close to me still.
To think Ast was the last face
I had sweated all over, and I should change my pajamas
What?
I stood up to look around. It was my room, and I was wearing my usual pajamas.
Wait
Had that not been a dream? It was all too real. If it had been not a dream
Was Ast dead?
I looked around to see that there was no corpse.
Is he alive?
I did not remember much about yesterday, but Ast had swallowed the evil fragment.
Which is real?
I wanted to change and called the maid outside to prepare for a bath and a change of clothes. The maids acted like nothing was different, which meant I should do the same. I changed and acted the same, but
Your highness!!!
Rea, stop.
I had to look at my clothes get wet again with Reas tears, and I noted that she was taller than me even when kneeling.
Rea, my clothes are getting wet.
But!!
She was sniffling into my clothes. I was a princess
Rea.
I thought this was too much, but Rea did not stop crying. I had to change my clothes again and wait for Rea to calm down.
Your highness
Wait, there.
I changed my clothes twice. I stopped Rea from charging at me with tears and asked her to prepare me to meet my father, the Emperor.
Yes, your highness.
Rea nodded and went out, and it was then Ast came in.
Ast avoided meeting my gaze when our eyes met.
As I also had nothing to say, we both remained silent. It was awkward, and I had not felt an emotion like this before. I did not know what to say.
Your highness, the preparations are finished.
Rea broke the silence, but we both did not say anything for a moment.
Wait, I have something to do.
Yes, your highness.
That was all, and Rea looked surprised.
Has anything happened?
I have to avenge Rea.
She meant we were going to fight Merdea Kingdom, nearly as powerful as the Empire, in a battle. They were cooperating with Pernes and had killed Reas lover. That would be reason enough for her highness, but she had remained still before
Why are you doing this all of a sudden?
The atmosphere grew cold. Why?
You dont know?
Was this because of what happened yesterday? But she did not seem to remember much, probably due to her state. I had run back to my room when she fainted since I had not known what had happened to that black thing. I only knew I had not made it go away with my ability, as I had no way to do so. Then, she would have to be the one who had made it go away and had fainted due to the exertion.
Is that so?
Yes.
I met her eyes, and I realized nothing would get better.
Really?
Yes.
I knew the black thing would complicate my life, so I kept saying no.
Is that so?
I noticed she seemed unsure about yesterdays events because she scared me. Therefore, I should fake ignorance.
Well, if you say so
I sighed in relief as she turned to Rea.
What do you think, Rea?
If it is war
I pleaded with my eyes to Rea.
You do not have to avenge me. That does not end well.
I shouted in joy inwardly. The world was already violent!
But
Sir Rea?
I saw Rea kneel in front of her highness.
If you wish, my sword will be yours.
You heard what she said, Ast.
I saw Reas face, and she seemed determined. I knew she would protect her highness with her life. Then, there was only one thing to do. I was deadly serious as I took something out of my pocket.
Ast?
I kneeled, and her highness stared at the resignation notice.
I will quit your service, your highness.
I am serious!
I was not going to war, as I knew what would happen in my days in the organization.
Astwill you go to the front line?
I am your butler and will follow you.
I felt the glares but staying near her highness was better than the front line.
HuhI am sorry, your highness.
I met the losing soldiers on my first encounter on the battlefield.
