Chapter 122

It was nice to see him after a long time, and Perez smiled so brightly.

His body is so big that I have to look up, his face now has a clear line, and his voice so low as if he was someone else.

There were many different things, but it was definitely Perez.

"Who are you?"

I could see Perez embarrassed by my cold words.

I don't care.

"I'm sorry, but I think you've got the wrong person."

I said and turned around.

"Tia."

With a perplexed look on his face, he gently grabbed my shoulder.

"It's me, Perez."

"Perez? Come to think of it, I think I knew someone like that."

The red eyes looking at me were shaking finely.

It really seemed like he thought I had forgotten himself.

I said, staring hard at such a Perez.

"Ah, the Perez who spent almost six years without showing his face?"

"It"s..."

“Or are you talking about that Perez, who graduated early from the academy after 5 years and had no news for half a year?”

Now you understand what I'm saying.

Perez said in a low voice, slightly lowering his head.

"...Sorry."

You're not sorry, are you?

Hearing the apology directly from him made me emotional and angry.

I slapped Perez on the shoulder with all my might with the bag in my hand.

"Bad boy."

Like in his previous life, he graduated both in Civil Service and Military Service at the same time.

Perez also graduated early in five years by reducing one year.

He could stop me from hitting his arm with his eyes closed.

But, Perez only stood still.

"Let's just say you were busy at the academy and couldn't come back during the vacation. But how do you explain that I haven't heard from you in the last few months?"

"That's... I've been wandering around for half a year after graduation, so I couldn't send and receive letters."

As soon as he graduated, I know he went on a quick trip with his friends.

As soon as Perez lost contact, I found out through Bate.

And it's not like I'm worried or what.

It's Perez, who had already used Aura at the age of twelve.

How many dangerous situations would such a person face while traveling the continent with the friends he met at the Academy?

However.

"You could send a letter 'I am alive.' to Lombardy everywhere! A smart guy who graduated at the academy can't even think of that much?"

Strangely, I get emotional.

But Perez's face looked strange when he saw me angry.

It looks like he's smiling or frowning.

After staring at him for a long time, he asked in a low voice,

"No way. Were you worried about me, Tia?"

He's really.

"Then you don't? It's like a friend suddenly went missing...!"

Squeeze.

"...I'm glad."

Before I knew it, I was in Perez's arms.

Something similar happened when I brought my grandfather to the palace to rescue him.

Compared to then, Perez is bigger now.

To the point where my whole body is completely trapped in his arms.

I blinked a couple of times in surprise and called Perez.

"Perez."

"Huh?"

"Let me go."

Then Perez obediently lowered his arm that had locked me up.

The sound of clashing between the fabrics rang clearly in my ears.

Looking up, Perez was smiling.

It wasn't the faint smile he made just a moment ago.

The long black eyelashes were slightly curved.

That's mean.

I can't believe you're trying to spill your beauty.1

I squinted as I pushed Perez out of my body.

"I'm not relieved of my anger yet."1

"Yes, I'm sorry."

He nodded and admitted obediently.

But, the apology was swift.

I suddenly felt Perez's gaze looking down at me and muttered.

"You've grown so tall."

Before returning, it was just as it had been seen from a distance.

No, it's prettier because you look brighter than before.

And the eyes are a little different.

He had very dry and cold eyes that looked down on the crowd who gathered to see him.

"Tia's grown up a lot, too."

Perez in front of me was full of life.

He seemed to be happy somewhere.

Like.

"Big dog."

A big black dog wiggling its big tail slowly.

It sounds a little weird, but he's already over the point of being called a puppy.

"Dog?"

"No, it's nothing. What's wrong with you, Perez? Aren't you from the Palace?"

There's no way Caitlyn and Kylus would let Perez out like this.

His messy hair and clothes are crumpled like the man who just got off the horse...

"Did you come to see me without going to the Palace?"

"Yes."

Yes, it is.

I can't believe you came to see me without returning to the Palace.

I said as I brushed off my slightly disheveled clothes from being hugged by Perez.

"Go back to the Palace."

"...Okay."

I can feel Perez a bit sulky in my words.
