I am not very expressive. That's why I think I still have no expression. But he, who was good at reading human expressions, reminded me of Klaus, realized that tension had fallen, and turned smile into bitter smile.
"... Klaus is not bothering you?"
"... what does that mean?"
"It's just a word"
Quiet voice, calm eyes.
I can't feel others, but I can't read the back of his words because the experience value is too different from the original ... In what sense and for what purpose?
Is my word involved in the retreat of Klaus?
When I think so, I get stuck in words. But I didn't want to lie to Leonhard.
I breathe briefly to release my tension, and then I open my mouth.
"... If you say nothing, you will be lying."
“…………”
Tell the fishing.
Leonhardt smiled bitterly at my muttering, but did not intervene. A gentle gaze softens the continuation of words.
"He is an indisputable and excellent escort. He has never doubted his power ... but he is too much protection."
Klaus is basic obedience.
But if there is any danger involved, the story is different. This outing is a good example.
"Is overprotection?"
"Yes. I'm sure I'm too vulnerable from Klaus's point of view. I'm fragile enough to protect me from the Protector's perspective, but I'm a willing individual. There's no way we can be described as being valued by being locked up by being locked in. ''
I gradually became emotional.
Leonhardt deepens his grin while staring at me. My eyes got a little cold as I calmed the child who was whining.
I'm ashamed. Isn't it really a child to be annoyed and hit him unrelated?
"No, you are not weak"
"……e?"
"Klaus is not an easy man to swear to his weak and beautiful princess."
Staring at me stunned, Leonhardt smiled.
Low voice sounds shiny.
"In front of you, that would be a dog ..."
Puppy, dog ...?
What a sinister word. I don't have a hobby of keeping adult boys as dogs. Border collie is good for dogs. Or Shetland sheep dock.
"The nature is a wolf. If you don't like it, you'll bite even a superior, and it's a beast you wouldn't normally tame."
“…………”
I wonder if a sadist would make them tame, but it doesn't really turn into tea.
In fact, I don't think everyone is good if you look at the recent Claus.
Klaus, as mentioned above, is a strong man who can enter five fingers in the Knights of the Guard. Given his age, getting a princess escort is an impossibly fast career.
The exception to this is that the Knights of Japan place more emphasis on their abilities than their status, but of course they are often jealous and alienated. There's no stupid sneak in front of the princess, but he also knows that he's been sneaked by a shadow.
But Klaus is not a refreshing man as he looks. Avoid violence brilliantly, and hate taste twice. A poor person is crushing it so that there is no second time.
Isn't it a masochist already?
Do you have such an aggressive masochist? Or is Sado and masochist two sides of the same coin? Yeah, I didn't know what I was saying.
"You who are taming the things can't be weak. I know that you can be a noble princess who just doesn't want to be protected, but it sometimes looks dangerous."
"...?"
Dangerous?
Is it dangerous because it looks weak?
I don't understand what he wants to say. What does it mean to be dangerous without being weak?
Did you notice that I was confused, Leonhardt looked at me with her admiring eyes?
"You can stand on your own feet, think and decide with your head, but there is a limit to what you can do alone. "
"... I think you rely on it."
I flashed several times at Leonhard's unexpected words.
There are very few things I can do with my own strength. I knew, I was going to rely on it. Even today, Leonhard is escorting you, knowing that you are selfish.
But he doesn't think so.
Leonhardt shakes his head.
"It's more. It's not enough. Klaus has the same idea.
“…………”
Even so, I can't say that I understand easily. No matter how much Leonhardt's words.
Of course, there is also a princess position. It is not a good position to expose people to weakness.
But more than that, it is not possible to determine how far we can explain and how much we can rely on.
Who can you explain to a future event that has not yet happened?
Leonhard laughed at me with a stubborn attitude looking down.
"... Please keep it in the corner of your will"
It's still far before I can recall the voices and words that contain bitterness with a real feeling.
It is a story of the future several years later.
