His Majesty planned a grand royal ball to really advance the marriage between me and His Highness, as he put it in his gaze. Nothing more than to invite a large number of royalty, ambassadors, not only from the nobility of the country, but also from the neighborhood, and to formally announce to the country and abroad that they will welcome me into the royalty.

I expect it will take a couple of years sooner, although the wedding dates will be decided by then as well.

Because a year after graduating from the Torsois School of Magic, I decided to study witchcraft and learn spirits while attending the Great Church.

"Mr. Rachel!

"Hello Anna"

"Um, today..."

I stopped by the church today in my spare time because I was allowed to learn at the church. Today, the Great Cleric immediately told me about the formation of the country with the Spirit, and called me to a bright voice where I had the room.

Anna regains her natural brightness day by day and looks like she would be enriched every day. But Anna, who spoke to me, wanders her gaze with Sowa like she's looking for something.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Samuel's not with us because we stopped by school."

"... yes, right"

When Samuel tells me he's not with me, I can imagine dropping Shun and his shoulders at once, and if his ears and tail were growing, he would be drooling with Patan.

"But I keep this."

"Huh? Wah, wah... this..."

"Yeah, letters and sweets."

"Wow, that's really Makoto's letter! Thank you so much, Rachel!

Removing the deposit from Samuel from the bag and handing it to Anna leaks a cushy laugh at Anna, who brightens her expression.

"Looks good."

"Yes, thanks to you.... Sometimes, I get too happy to be scared. I wonder if I should be so happy."

To my words, Anna smiled back and turned to the blooming garden. That gaze also feels like looking farther than the garden, showing some danger.

- Too happy to be scared, huh?

"I'm with you. I've always been unsure if I could grasp this happiness."

"Is Mr. Rachel here?

"What a surprise.... I was just lucky. I made a mistake, because I met someone who could help me, support me, and walk with me.

But I think so now. It's also my chosen path. "

"The chosen path......"

"Anna's reunion with Samuel must have been handed down by Anna's strong feelings. So if we work hard down the road, we can't imagine a future… maybe a new path will emerge"

The feeling of regret for the past will not disappear. Regret and anguish, because it is something I should bear.

Still, there is a future as long as you live. I'm going to do something that doesn't betray me and who believes in me.

I guess that's what I can do now.

"The happier you are, the more scared you will be when this happiness will disappear.... but that happiness is not the norm. Because it means happiness knows what it is.

Thanking the happiness in hand now rather than being afraid to lose it, he said, if I could take care of it. That's what I feel. "

To my words, Anna whines, "Take care......" That moment when Anna, who leaned down for a moment, looked up.

Pattin! and Anna lose her voice in surprise at the sound of slapping both her cheeks in the palm of her hand.

"Okay! I like it!

"Hey, what..."

"Ah! I'm sorry I surprised you. I put a drink in myself."

"Or drink?

"Yes, let's try harder."

- I don't know if it hurts. Though there was a lot of noise...

"Mr. Rachel. I'm really happy to see Makoto again."

"Uh, yeah."

"And he said it was really nice to meet Mr. Rachel. I think so."

"I?"

"Yes. Mr. Rachel always lights the darkness. I can't thank you enough.... so I will also be strong enough to help Mr. Rachel when he is in trouble. So I want to be able to support the future of this country that Mr. Rachel will make with His Highness."

Anna, with her strong eyes filled with will, looks dazzled by the light of the sun on her neat, sunny look.

Anna is nowhere to be found with a lost and depressed face anymore. Maybe she can use the power of the Virgin to the full in the not so distant future.

I'm so sure that Anna feels something now.

Stand in front of Anna, correct your posture, and offer your hand to Anna.

"It's good to see you, too. Thank you, Anna."

Anna gives Pocan a strange look. But as soon as I could flaunt my face with joy, I squeezed my hand.

"I'm going to be able to attend the next ball with the Grand Priest, too. So you burn Mr. Rachel's happiness to many eyes."

"It's going to be Anna's revelation, too. I'm looking forward to it too."

"but I'll do my best..."

Look at each other in the face and shake your shoulders laughing at the couscous.

Then a gentle breeze as the petals danced enveloped me and Mr. Anna.
