Since then.

I have safely finished marrying this country.

At last I was able to take a breath, so I was exploring the castle by myself.

"It hasn't changed much since."

But if you think about it, it's only natural.

That's because it hasn't been six months since you were banished.

But... it feels like it's been a long time.

It was fun, but it was angry enough to feel that way since I was banished.

Just walking like this reminds me of the old days.

I don't have very good memories, but I feel complicated by what I miss...

"Elaine"

Called from behind.

I stopped and looked back at the voice.

"Oh, isn't it Prince Claude?What are you doing here?

I speak with manners on purpose.

Claude approached us at a slow pace.

"Well... what is it?I thought I hadn't told her yet. "

Properly?

"Oh, and so is Leticia, but thank you for setting the border on this country.I'll leave you alone. "

... eh?

I almost heard a strange voice coming out of my mouth, but I stopped at the edge.

"And I'm sorry I ever doubted your virginity.I did the wrong thing. "

"What's the matter?It's not like you, is it?I can't believe you said that to me. "

"... Bo, I've changed a lot."

Did the smell suddenly get irritating?

Claude puts his arms together and strays his gaze.

Such childish manners are about to burst out unexpectedly.

"For the record... I didn't come back because I thought this country was good.If this country is overrun by demons, the whole world will be in trouble.That's why I can't help it.Don't get me wrong. "

"Yes, of course."

That wasn't really the only reason... but I also kept Claude in good shape (...), so I chose that word deliberately.

"Nevertheless, Claude. What the hell happened to you just now?Didn't you disagree with His Majesty?I couldn't have done it before..... "

…………

Claude closed his mouth to my question.

And moving your mouth again, making it difficult to say anything.

"... I felt like I shouldn't stay like this.It will not be possible to protect Leticia alone, rather than the country, as a child for long.After expelling Eliane, I felt it very strongly. "

"... eh"

I'm impressed.

I'm surprised Claude is able to think of such an extraordinary victory...

He scratches his cheeks and goes on.

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Lynch Giham is a fine man.At my age, I represent the country so well. "

"Nigel?

"That's right. His Majesty the King of Lynchgiham also nodded that he had been entrusted with this enlistment.I think it's amazing. "

"Fufufu, you. I admire Nigel."

"I was reminded of the difference in power as a prince.You can't be impressed. "

Claude sharpens his lips with a little dissatisfaction.

"But... one day I'll catch up with His Royal Highness the Prince of Lynchgiham as a prince.No matter how long it takes. "

"It won't be that easy.Nigel is even better than you think. "

Claude agreed, I say.

Though Claude's mouth made me feel kind of happy to be praised for Nigel.

I'm engaged to him now.

... I tried to reveal it for a moment, but I stopped.

You don't have to say that.

"Is that all you want to say to me?

"No... there's one more thing."

Claude makes his expression more serious.

"Elaine, is it true that the Demon King is sealed in this country?It was an incredible story..... "

"It's true. Otherwise, there wouldn't be any point in the demons wanting to stick to this country?

"Yes, but what are you going to do now?Isn't that a time-bound ceremony?Once the boundaries are resolved, the Demons will attack again.In the last two weeks, I've had some thoughts..... "

"Yeah, I'm fine.I didn't come back to this country in vain.There's a way to prevent the Devil King from resurrecting... ah... "

Ah?

Claude wrinkles his neck.

But that (...) and (...) are fine.It is not clear whether it really exists, and even if it is done, can it stop the resurrection...? I cannot answer "absolutely".

Nevertheless, as it stands, we have to manage to follow these fine threads.

"I was going to ask Claude to help me with that, too.Claude, to stop the Demon King from resurrecting..... "
