18 17. Before You Leave
The day has come for me to leave for the King's Capital after thinking about everything like meeting the King ~ or my brothers ~.
I hear Wang Du takes about two weeks by carriage from here. That's just a long way off. Phyllia and Krona seemed very happy when they heard we were going to King's Capital. I caressed my head by accident.
Contrary to that, I couldn't talk to Aeris. I can avoid meeting you in the mansion, and I watch you during your training with the teacher, but when you're done, you leave. I thought I'd done something, and I asked the teacher.
"Wait till you can judge for yourself"
I've been told. The teacher seems to know the circumstances, but he doesn't seem to tell me. Do I have to wait until the person comes to tell me?
I've been training for the past week. There are several reasons, but I'm sorry that I heard about the Regalia Empire. I mean, I'm already involved. Training these days was spent working with Hikarin and practicing thunder magic.
I was so surprised by the power when I could use one level of magic as it was in the title. However, I can't use it so continuously because it consumes so much magic.
And now. I had time until the carriage arrived, so I thought I'd make a final check on my luggage, and I was stuck in my room. The room kept the room I've been using since I was a baby in my room. I heard knocking on the room as I was preparing in that room.
Guess who? When I reply with the thought
Yes, I'm coming in.
It was Aeris, who was rather nervous, who came in. It feels softened somewhere and I feel restless. Looking at Aeris wondering what's going on,
"Thanks for the help in the meantime!
And I've been thanking you. I thought I might have done something, but it's the only time I can think of a big march.
"At that time, Ray quickly lost his mind, and after I woke up, I wasn't even there because of the city's reconstruction or anything, and the longer I prolonged, the harder it became to say something, and I came to this day, thank you so much!
Aeris, who says so and bows his head. I accidentally stroked my head at the look of Aeris, unlike the usual cool Aeris. I feel like I've been stroking my head lately when I see her adorable. I don't have a problem with it now, but I'll be careful from now on. But I caress it unexpectedly because it's cute.
"Nothing to worry about, sister. I just did what I wanted. I'm sorry I hurt you more than that. It's not like I'd have made it if I'd come sooner, but I wouldn't have made it."
"That's all I care about. It was my lack of strength. It's better to have a life than that."
That's what I say and laugh at Aeris. After that, I suddenly soaked up. What's wrong with it? Do you want to go wash your hands?
"So, I'm going to do it because I haven't thanked Ray yet for that, you know, help!
What, were you thinking about that? I thought you really wanted to go wash your hands. I'm glad I didn't tell you.
"No, it's nothing. Like I said, I just did what I wanted."
"Then you're sorry about me! No?"
You can't say no if you see me with those moist eyes!
"No, I can't!
I screamed out of the blue. Aeris laughs couscous when she sees it.
"That's good. Then meditate your eyes."
I meditated on my eyes as I was told. Waiting after that pushed a very soft one on my cheek. What? I opened my eyes and there was Aeris' face at close range. And I noticed. Aeris kissed me on the cheek.
Aeris, away from me, was brighter red in the face than she had earlier, and so red that the hot air seemed to come out.
"Oh, well, that's, thank you! It doesn't mean anything!
Aeris leaves the room in a fierce dash, saying so. All I could do was drop him off. I realized I was feeling the soft finish I felt earlier. He said it was the first time he had been kissed, including in a previous life, even though he was cheeky!
That's what I thought and I was nibbling, and I heard knocking on the door again. In reply to that,
"Master Ray, excuse me. Oh, did something good happen?
and Chloe came in and was told early. Would it have been so on your face?
"Well, a lot. What about Chloe?
"Yes, Ray wants to talk to you before you leave."
Then we have to go right away.
"Okay. I'll go now. What about Chloe?
"I'll stay with you, too."
The two of us left the room and headed to the study. When I went inside because I knocked on the door of the study and got a response, Sieg and Ellis were sitting down.
"Father, I heard you wanted to talk to me."
"Oh, that's about your status"
"Is that my status?
"Oh, we also have to talk about surprise attacks when we talk about this great march. To tell that story, I'd have to ask Ray, who'd think an 8-year-old boy defeated B-ranked Oak General? I need the king to look at Ray's status in order to get him to admit it. The king is wise, or the other nobles are different. There is no leakage of status from the King, but the soldiers and the people have seen Ray fight in this ambush. I'm pretty sure it's gonna leak out of there."
That's what I'm talking about, Zeke. Sure enough, I didn't care about what was going on around me. Has a lot of people seen you?
"We'll take care of the noblemen, Ray."
"Okay."
I thought this was the end of the story.
"Ray, this is the real deal!
and Ellis called me with a huge smile.
"What is it, Mother?"
"I have a second princess's birthday party in my errand to the king's capital. Sieg also attends these royal birthday parties when he can because he's on the border, and most of them are left to Elizabeth and the others, but this time, we're going to be there in time. That's Ray's social debut!
Second princess? But was it the same age as Aeris or something?
"That's where I'll get Ray to pick whoever he wants!
... What are you talking about this guy?
"Well, it's not that sudden. You just have to talk to the girl who thought you liked it or something. We're borderline uncles, so they won't talk and ignore us."
That's what I say, laughing Sieg. What, sometimes they ignore you? Isn't it hard to talk to you when you hear that?
"Good luck, Ray"
After that, I was told the story of Siege's man's social world was extended until the carriage arrived.
