63 Lesson twenty-three: Rescue me.

"Oh, I'm finally here. Good morning, Mr. Leo. Did you sleep well?

"Good morning. Yes, I slept well"

While I greet the emperor, I take the seat guided by my maid.

"That's good. Well, then, let's eat."

"Look, I went to wake Shelia up. She's not sleeping. Wake up quickly."

"Ugh, yeah......"

Then we had lunch while we talked about the world.

When I finished my lunch, I was taken straight to the usual emperor's office.

There's an emperor, me, and my uncle in the room.

Elise says she's listening to Shelley with the Queen.

"Well, let's hear about what I found out."

The emperor asked his uncle for a report.

"Yes, then let me report. Yesterday, Leo-kun captured me and found out that I was a knight in the kingdom."

"Really... so what was the purpose of the knights of the kingdom?

"That... apparently came to buy the princess as a slave to the king"

"Slave? Damn... those greedy bastards... So, you figured out where Melissa is?

"That's because after I gave him the money, he split up, and now he doesn't know where he's going."

"Well, for now, tell the Knights to reinforce the security of the Imperial Capital, especially at night."

"Yes, I understand"

"Finally, what about Allen?

"It's about Allen... he says he doesn't know anything. They say it's their job to carry the princess to the kingdom, and they're not involved in kidnapping."

"Don't you even know where Allen is? We need to focus more on Allen and the Ninja investigation than ever before. Any more problems in our country will be troubling."

"Okay. We'll find you there."

"Oh, nice to meet you. I wonder if this eliminates anything I want to ask Damien. Well, then, Mr. Leo, tell me how it went until you rescued Shelia."

"Ok......"

Then I told him that Allen had provoked me, that Mr. Cliff had told me where Sherry was, and that the killers had just come out when I went to the place where he was taught.

"Allen's at Leo's... how could he not have been there when Leo went out of his way to help?

"That's a mystery. To let you help me on purpose?

"I don't know. What was the intention..."

Really, what did you come to me for?

You came all this way just to give me Shelly's necklace?

Do you want to know what it was all about the next time we met?

Of course I won't let you get away with it the next time I see you.

"Well, I can't help thinking about things I don't know. In the meantime, thank you, Leo. I'm fine today. Also, I may call you a few times, but I'm off today. Oh, you can hang out with Shelly."

"Okay. I have something I'd like to give Shelley, so I'd like to see Shelley before I go home."

"Oh? What are you giving me?

"I'm just going to give you back the necklace that Allen took from you."

That's what I said, I showed Prapra and the Emperor the love necklace.

"Oh, my God, yeah"

"Yes, then I'll let you go"

"Oh, bye."

I said goodbye to the emperor and ran into Mr. Elise just as he was headed to Shelley's room.

"Oh, Leo. Have you finished your conversation with His Majesty the Emperor?

"Yes, are you done there?

"That's right. The princess is now in her room talking to the queen."

"Okay. Good luck."

"Leo, you're the one who's tired. The princess is waiting for you. Make sure the princess is sweet today."

Mr. Elise smiled and said so and went away.

Let me sweeten you......?

"I was going to go home when I gave it to you, but it sounds like no..."

I walked into Shelley's room whining to myself like that.

When I went inside... there was Shelley and the Queen.

"Oh, Mr. Leo. Are you here to see Shelia? Then I'll let you go around here. Bye, Leo. Make friends."

"Ugh, yeah. Okay."

"Well, I asked for my daughter."

The queen said so when she left and slapped me on the shoulder with a pound.

"Wow, I get it"

When I answered in a hurry, I left.

And we were alone in the room.

Awkward......

I remember being kissed yesterday when I was looking at Shelly's face......

"Uh... thanks for yesterday"

Shelly told me to shut up without me being able to talk to her.

"Ugh, yeah. No, uh... you're welcome. And this."

I gave Shelley the necklace.

"This? Oh, that's the necklace he took from me! You took it back? Thanks! I was wondering if you'd return it."

With that said, Shelley has been holding on to much of the excitement.

"Well, I'm glad you took care of it so much to please me. Er... I guess I feel more like I've been given it back than I did."

"That's fine. More than that, you don't wear that necklace on me because it's stuck like this"

"Huh? Oh, yeah. Wow, okay."

I put a necklace around your neck like I was told.

"hehe, thanks"

"Ugh, yeah. You're welcome."

For a while, we stuck around talking nothing to each other...... no, we were hugged.

"Hey, Leo. What did you think yesterday when I kissed you?

"Huh? Duh, what did you think?

If you suddenly think you've spoken up, what's the matter, suddenly?

"Yeah. I did a lot of the joy of getting help yesterday... Happy?

"Happy...? Uh... I'm glad to hear that."

"Really? Hey, honestly, do you like Leo about me?

"Duh, what's going on suddenly?

Why are you asking all these embarrassing questions from earlier?

Do I have to answer this?

Answer me.

But Shelly's face was serious.

"Wow, I get it... I like it, Shelly"

I gave up and told the truth.

It's so embarrassing......

Probably should be so red in the face.

"Yay ~!! Now I can get engaged to Leo!

"To?"

"Oh, uh. Actually, my grandmother told me that if I let Leo tell me that she likes me, she'd let me get engaged."

"What do you mean?

What is Shelley talking about?

"Uh... what's the reward next time... si"

"Uh-oh!!"
