27 Apology of the reincarnation princess. (2)

After the brothers left, silence fell in the room.

What do you do ...

However, this is different from the usual one that contains tokimeki. A tension like apologizing to a friend who has quarreled. No, Leonhardt is not a friend or a fight. That's awkward.

"... Her Princess"

"Huh ... yes"

Calm down, calm down and repeat in your heart, called during a deep breath. Too surprised her voice turned upside down.

I am ashamed of being sober.

Leonhardt looks at this with a serious look without any apprehension.

"I'm just ashamed to say that I'm on duty, but ... what if I talked a bit?"

"... what?"

I didn't expect it to be cut out by Leonhardt-sama.

Intentionally prepared, facial expressions are intensified. Sweat oozed into the palm, and my heartbeat was getting faster.

I was going to apologize anyway, so even if I get scolded, it's okay. Only the order changes. Yes, that's it.

Try to remind yourself of a theory you don't know is positive or negative, and try to regain calm.

Staring at me, Leonhardt bowed down for some reason.

To my surprise, I have no voice.

"I am sorry"

"...?"

"I've always wanted to apologize to Her Imperial Highness. But she wasn't able to meet you and he was stretched."

Why are you being apologized?

I was confused in an impossible situation.

"Please raise your head. There is nothing to apologize to Orcein."

I told you while being impatient, Leonhardt did exactly what he said. I may have felt my puzzle.

"I apologize to me. Six months ago, I moved myself on my own discretion, and as a result inconvenienced the knights. I should have consulted Orsein or Klaus ... I'm sorry. I think I was arrogant. I could do something for myself. "

`` His Highness Princess ''

Leonhardt calls me, shaking and regretting.

When I raise my face, my sincere eyes reflect on me. He sadly lowered his eyebrows and shook his head slowly.

"Please do not despise yourself like that."

"but……"

"Your judgment was not wrong. If you didn't do anything, Hilde Kremmer couldn't save you. You should be blamed for yourself. Don't worry about your hurt, just be patient. I shouldn't have said anything. "

I'm sorry.

I told him in a deeply regrettable voice, and I was jammed.

When Hilde was killed, I lacked calmness. I thank him for being signaled by him to be calm, and I have no intention of blaming him.

Yes, I'm seriously thinking.

But maybe There may have been something that was in my heart. It was surely hurt to the point that it could not be denied immediately. I wasn't convinced.

Raise your inability to put it on the shelf.

"I was a bit disappointed that I couldn't rely on Klaus or myself. I sometimes felt itchy to work so hard or to work alone. I guess you can't rely on it, not on it. "

"e……"

I blink at the words of Leonhardt. One beat later, I was astonished.

For a moment, I thought it was a mistake. What a hallucination?

But he kneels and takes my hand as if to prove it was not a vision. My heart trembles into the clear black that shoots from below.

"One day I told you that you wanted to rely on others. At that time, I was wondering if your duty or responsibility as a royal family would be good at relying on others, but that's not all. ...... You seemed to have suffered all the time. "

“…………”

"You didn't look down on your mind just to say something. Even less arrogant humans couldn't look like that."

He breaks into words and looks into me. I was reflected in Leonhardt's eyes and had a very sad face.

Unstable expression where fear and relief are mixed .... I'm lost, lost, like a child who finally found my home.

The hard palm slowly wraps my hand.

"Are you alone doing something ... heavy loads?"

"..."

I couldn't respond immediately.

I knew it should be denied immediately. What should I do?

The grasped hand trembles. My voice is jammed.

Rather than denying, I could not stop crying, so it was full.

I was always worried.

I don't know if the way I'm going is right. The only thing that shows the way is the memory that becomes dim over time.

If you want to consult, you can't tell anyone and you can only tell yourself that it's okay.

Even taking the hand of a loved one who told me to depend on it seems like a flag. I was obsessed with obsessions that I had to do everything myself.

I understand a little now.

I wasn't protecting my back to protect everyone. They just refused everyone's hands and turned their backs.

I was a child who couldn't help herself.

Nevertheless, he looked at me. He was caring.

He helped her as many times as she can rely on a cute little child who plucks her gentle hands.

"If you don't want to talk, I won't be forcing you. I want you to protect what you want to protect. ''

"Well ..."

Pain so that the chest is tightened.

I was pushed by the impulse and hugged Leonard, who was kneeling.

"... Leon ..."

He gasped as if surprised for a moment, but did not try to tear me off.

A large hand strokes my back to calm me down. I was glad that the hands were a little awkward or not used. Gestures that deal with broken objects are sure to keep me scared.

Every time I feel his concern and kindness, I think.

I like this person.

Large, large, love.

The character in the game, not the commander of the Guard Knight of “Uraceka”.

I fell in love with this person again, like Leonhard von Orcein.
