97 97 Prince Wang Perspective

Consciousness surfaces in the glare of the West Day as it plugs through the window, opening his eyes.

Then there was Rachel in my sight closing her eyes in the form of depositing her body on the couch.

When you get your body up quietly from her knees and in position to keep Rachel awake, take the pocket watch out of her chest and check for time.

Apparently, he'd been asleep for about an hour.

Still, I think I was asleep amazingly myself. I feel lighter too.

Maybe that's all I was tired of. More than that, is it a sense of security? I have never had such a calm awakening.

I'm sure it's thanks to Rachel.

Just elbow on the back of the couch and look at her sleeping face and a warm breeze blows through her chest, loosening her cheeks.

I've seen my sleeping face several times... but still, it's cute enough to make me want to watch it forever.

The look that changes corny when you're awake is also adorable, but when you close your cat-like eyes and fall asleep with a reassuring look, that makes love overflow.

Unexpectedly, he rides himself out and gently drops his lips on her lid.

Normally, Rachel, who turns bright red and panics, now just sleeps quietly.

- I knew I wanted to bring it back to the castle like this.

A peek into her face boils down to the thought of not wanting to leave her for a second or even a minute at the same time as her love. When I marry her, I just think that I can see this sleeping face like every day, and I wait to see if that routine even comes right now.

"Mmm..."

At that time, a wrinkle leaned between Rachel's eyebrows and her voice leaked out of her mouth. At the same time, he woke up, dazzled and opened and closed his eyes again and again, then turned his gaze towards me to see if his eyes swayed left and right and his point of view gradually set.

"So, Your Highness. I'm sorry...... I didn't know you'd fall asleep to me while I told you I'd wake you."

"That's okay. You slept well. Thank you, Rachel."

"... no. It would have been nice if His Royal Highness had taken a little rest."

Was it embarrassing that she fell asleep, Rachel dyes her cheeks with thin pieces?

And my eyes narrowed with joy to my words and I smiled gently.

When I can turn such a pretty face, I turn my grin towards Rachel without being able to contain the emotions I had endured.

"Rachel, shall we live together like this?"

"So, Your Highness... what do you say"

"Things are going well, considering Rachel has a prep period of one year after graduation... at least two more years?

Until then, I'm worried about taking Rachel away. "

"Do that again."

I'm saying it in a light-hearted tone, but the word now is definitely my heart.

Still, you took it as a joke, and Rachel puts her hand on her lips and overflows her couscous and grin.

"Fine, now you can take it as a joke.

... but also be prepared for Rachel "

"Ready? What is it?

"ready to be loved by me"

"Become..."

Turning a hot gaze to pierce Rachel's eyes, Rachel cutely dyes her cheeks bright red. And I guess he's the only one who leans down as if to put his hands on his cheek and hide his face, but doesn't realize that look is just adorable either.

When I love Rachel like that, I feel the look on Rachel's face when she leans down.

"What's wrong?

"... no, until I thought that such a future with Your Highness... would really come"

"Rachel. It's okay, I'm sure it'll work. That's why you're doing your best."

Speaking of no anxiety makes me lie.

Still, I am determined not to wish for that future, but to make it happen.

That's why I smile to reassure Rachel.

Then Rachel narrowed her eyes delightfully and nodded once, then turned her strong gaze toward me.

- Has Rachel changed her face?... Does that mean there's something important to talk about?

"Your Highness. Actually, I have a favor to ask you."

"I'd like to grant you anything you wish for, but what's it about?

"... Yes. I want to go to the woods between Busque and Milicier again."

"That forest? Is there going to be something?

"Yes, I was wondering if maybe there's something in that forest that could lead to my loss of magic... feel that way. That's why I think we need to go there again. They're calling me something... I feel that way"

... Called, huh?

It's certainly one of the mysterious forests in this country.

You're sure to think there's some kind of interference by the Spirit.

But when I go again...... it would be better if I got rid of everything like the problems with the St. Louis Abbey and the Higgins family. Even though Rachel came back safely this time, it's true that she was compromised.

I can't let that happen again.

Plus, we need to justify Rachel going on the spot.

"I see. If that's all Rachel says, I guess so"

Given Rachel's certainty so far, maybe there really is something on that spot.

… then.

"Will you accompany Theodore?"

"Dear Theodore... why?"

Rachel looked at me like she was stunned when she shook her shoulder in a potpourring voice. It was me who was surprised by that, and I don't see why Rachel would react to Theodore to that extent.

"Master Theodore is busy..."

"When it comes to magic and spirits, Theodore would be the right man. Besides, I was planning on sending Theodore to Buske Soil soon after the work of the Sorcery Division."

"... you are"

"But the first thing to do is slow down in the King's Capital.

All you have to do is join me at the graduation party. "

To my words, Rachel turned her Kyoton face to this side.

Seeing this reaction, it's a reaction that three grades, I didn't realize I was going to graduate anymore.

Well, Rachel had a lot going on here, so I couldn't help but lose track of graduation time.

Nevertheless, as for myself, feeling lonely that I won't be able to spend any more time with you in school, I don't have to hang up a bit.

"... you know, I didn't forget..."

"Fine, I know. Instead, will you come with me?

"Is it okay for me to act publicly as Your Highness's fiancée?

"You mean His Majesty? Then you'll be fine. Talk to Your Majesty and agree to keep Rachel your fiancée."

Having a deadline, you should lay low for now.

I don't want to overburden Rachel right now.

More than that, I want to be with Rachel at all right now.

And there was a great desire to make the last memories of the students together.

"Well, thank you"

Knowing or not how I feel, Rachel smiles at me with a broken face.

Rachel wouldn't know how brave I am about that smile.

Still.

To increase that smile and protect it.

Because it's what I want to be that I can do that helps me more than anything else.
