"Dior."
Taking a step forward, he looked at me still, but his eyes felt as if they were pushing me back. In the midst of that momentum, I took a step back without realizing it, and I heard Brother Alec.
"That's enough."
I don't know how glad he was to come right in front of me and stop Dior at that moment.
"Reina is my sister. No matter how much Dior says, driving my sister as a spy...….”
“…….”
"I can't stand it. So stop it."
Dior's firm gaze stayed with me for a while at Brother Alec's firm voice. Breaking the silence that lasted for a while was Dior, who looked sideways once.
"That was too hasty. I'm sorry."
Is it an apology to me? One didn't seem to want my answer.
"…… Reina has a point.”
Brother Alec, who had been silent for a while, opened his mouth. Naturally shifted the conversation from me.
"I think we should discuss that separately. It's a very serious issue."
And pull me out of this conversation. In a way, it's like pushing away, but it was actually for me.
"Your opinion helped a lot. Reina, would you please let us talk privately?”
I don't assume what I say to be true, I dismiss sensitive matters as "guessing".
"…Yes, brother.”
I was right to step aside from this. I've delivered enough warning words about the Kingdom of Leicester to broaden their horizons.
"No matter how thin the door is, don't eavesdrop from now on."
I left the room behind Brother Alec, who spoke to me.
* * *
"Haaaaah!
With a familiar voice loaded with strength, a hard-necked sword was heard. I opened my mouth while watching it blankly.
"……Nicholas, why don't you take a break?”
"Even if you do it all day, you won't be able to fulfill the punishment that Alec has given you...….”
Alas, yes, I nodded slightly as I watched Nicholas still glancing back, swinging his wooden sword as hard as he could.
"But at least do it while wiping your sweat. Come here."
Sitting on a rock on one side of the mistletoe in the mansion, I have watched Nicholas perform "bees" for the past few days and wiped off his sweat.
Come to think of it, it's already been so long since I told Brother Alec and Dior about the war. I haven't received any punishment since that day, and Nicholas is still suffering like this.
"…Yes, ma'am."
Nicholas, who laid down his wooden sword on my firm tone, bent slightly. His reddish face came down as far as I could reach.
I slowly wiped his tomato-colored face with an ocher towel that had been prepared with a sweaty drop.
You look quite mature when you close your eyes with no expression. He is still young and cute, but he smelled like a man. Mysterious purple hair was more so in sweat.
"……Sister?"
Looking blankly at Nicholas' clear features, his low voice rang in my ears.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I thought of something else for a second.”
Nicholas' transparent eyes were staring at me all around my face from a short distance. I wiped him off a few more times before I stopped again.
"By the way, you're having a hard time.”
"Ah, there's nothing I can do. Well, that's a good thing."
When I stopped moving to wipe him and put down the towel next to him, Nicholas, bent back upright, breathed out a light breath.
Yes, Nicholas is right. It's pretty good that Brother Alec gave him disciplinary punishment without saying anything.
"I'll do a little more, so you go in now. You've been overdoing it since this morning...…what?"
Nicholas, who was speaking naturally as if to let me in, suddenly opened his eyes round and stopped talking.
Nicholas, with his startled eyes open, fixed his gaze behind the rock I was sitting on.
"Did I interrupt brother and sister's good time?"
"Brother Daniel!!!"
Turquoise hair that glitters in the bright morning sun. He was creeping closer from the mouth of the muzzle. Nicholas ran out with a bright smile as soon as he saw him approaching, naturally raising the corners of his mouth.
Daniel was one of the few people Nicholas welcomed like a puppy.
"I'll understand a hundred times that I'm glad to see you, but I don't want to be a sweaty 'man."
When Daniel, who blocked Nicholas' face with one hand, skillfully shook his head, Nicholas praised him in an exaggerated way, whether he liked it or not.
"You're a true man, brother!"
"Hmm, how can I teach you?"
"Oh, I can't believe it."
"To be a real man like me...….”
How do the two get stronger over the years? Nicholas was especially a follower of Daniel. And Daniel also flattered himself that he liked being revered.
They are trying to teach us strange tricks that don't work. But you've never made a girlfriend before. You won't be able to have one in the future.
"So when it comes to that, I'll take my time and use one hand to smooth the loop of the strap like this...….”
"Daniel."
"Huh?"
When I got up from the rock, Daniel, who was explaining the "man" with his chest straightened out, and Nicholas, who was listening to the explanation, looked at me at the same time.
"Why don't you stop?"
I said with a slight boost. No matter how much, I'm a woman. Can't you say things like that where I'm not?
There was a pause in my words. The two staring at me hardened for a moment. It was quite a while.
"……So what part did I tell you?"
"The lights in the room went out.….”
"Oh, right, so there was only a ray of moonlight in the dark room, so he could see her red button...….”
It's so funny. You can't even get married, but you're bragging because you heard something from somewhere. Nicholas also plays along and they're a perfect match.
It was the two of them who had a pretty strong relationship in the past. Of course, I think we talked about that very actively at this time of year.
So what's important now is, could you please stop talking about it?
"You made her cry...….”
"Hey."
Daniel, who was continuing his story regardless of what I said earlier, looked at me without a word at my call again. I put my voice down and said.
"Stop it."
It wasn't long before there was an awkward silence again. Nicholas, slightly curled up to see if he had noticed something unusual, looked at me with a nervous look. Daniel was also reading my mind, blinking his eyes.
"Answer me."
"Yes, ma'am."
Daniel replies like an arrow to my words. Daniel, if you don't do it like this, you won't listen, will you?
"Are you going to do it again?"
"No."
Before I knew it, Daniel, who put his hands together politely, replied using honorifics. You're quick to notice.
"Stand up."
Do you even think I'm angry? Not only Daniel but Nicholas was looking at me in a stiff position in an instant.
Well, I didn't think I'd be this good at listening. Actually, I'm not mad, but I'm pretty disgusted...….
"Get some rest."
It was quite funny how I posed as if I were following orders in my coercive tone, so I repeated it a few more.
"Stand up."
Chuuk.
"Get some rest."
Chuuk.
I was having a lot of fun, how quick the reaction was. Nevertheless, I did not let go of my stiff look.
"Stand up."
"Wow, whoops, whoops...…sister……."
Nicholas looked at me with a wistful look, gasping with a hotter face than before.
Well, yeah, it's too much to get Nicholas more exercise here.
"What."
Still, I was a little upset that you ignored me earlier. That Daniel was next to me and ran like that as soon as he showed up.
In my cold response, Nicholas closed his mouth as if to complain about something and shook his head quickly as if it were nothing. So cute. I'm dying.
"Nicholas, are you tired?"
Nicholas shifted his eyes from place to place when I asked him to lighten up the mood. He seemed to be wondering how to answer.
"You can rest if you're tired."
"What?"
"Oh, thank you, sister. I love you!"
Daniel, who was standing upright, distorted his face as if there was no idea what to do. Nicholas, on the other hand, instantly erased the mysterious signs and shortly ran out. I guess he's worried that I'd quickly change my mind.
"Hey, no, I...…?”
"Get some rest."
And Daniel, who was left behind, reportedly struggled until he was exhausted.
* * *
"So, why did you come here?”
"Should I have a reason in coming to see my lady?……."
"Do you want another bath?"
"No! I'm sorry."
Daniel, startled by my subtle way of speaking, replied in a loud voice as if he were going to say hello immediately.
You must have had a hard time earlier, seeing that you hate it like this. I know. Is it good to listen from the beginning?
"Are your legs okay?"
Daniel almost collapsed, perhaps after a long time of collection earlier and repeatedly. How his white face was so sweaty and ruined.
It's funny to see a kid showing off as a prince, and he's so exhausted that he's acting cute. I think my pranks were too much, and he's trying to make me feel better.
"Oh, my God, my whole body still aches. It hurts. It hurts."
Oddly aware that I was feeling sorry, he grabbed his leg with an exaggerated whinge. It's so funny.
"…… Does it hurt a lot hurt?"
While leaning comfortably on the leather sofa in my room, he was trembling as if his back was sore, and I had to be worried.
Only later did Daniel become my knight and protect me, but in fact he wasn't very good at martial arts. No, he was on the weak side for a man.
I don't know how he managed that level of swordsmanship, but he must have tried.
I didn't know at the time, but now that I think about it, Daniel is amazing. Thinking of Daniel in the past, somehow I felt sad and sorry.
I can't stop thinking overlapped with the events before the regression. Whoever I'm dealing with, I compare it to the past. It's inevitable.
It may not have happened now, but it's a reality I've experienced in person.
"Oh, it's killing me. Well, maybe it'll be okay if someone yells at you...….”
At the end of the sentence, Daniel looked at my face in a subtle tone.
With a relaxed atmosphere that shows off a sad familiarity, the smooth nose that comes down, and light green hair that contains the freshness of the blue field.
I feel like I've been sweating for a long time and now I'm full of my usual leeway.
Well, no matter how much I feel sorry for you, I don't know where I'm gonna fall for this nonsense.
