230 The reincarnated princess.

I noticed that the area was dark.

Wake up holding down your vague head as you blur.

I feel like I've been asleep for a long time.What time is it?

Given the darkness of the room, I think it's midnight, but... what were you doing?

It evokes memories one by one, like arranging puzzles.Closed in the room, reading a book from one end, and then...

When the hand on the forehead slipped off, the fingertips grabbed the lips.At the same time, your memories burst into your head at once.

Heat, feel, and sound that touches your lips.

The strength and smell in the embraced arm.

Because I like it.

As soon as the frivolous confession came back to life, my face began to boil.

"Nh...!?"

Eh, eh, that?

You said you liked soot!?

I was told by Mr. Leonhart that I liked him!?

While holding his hot cheeks with both hands, he desperately digs up his memory.

I was told I liked it. Yeah, it's not my fault.

Even though Leonhart-sama's voice is slightly plucked and colorful, it is easy to hear.I'm not mistaken. It's not a gap, it's not a pitch, it's "like".

Rosemary

That's right. You've called me by my name many times, and I'm not mistaken.

Yeah, I'm Rosemary. It's okay, it's wrong, it's not.

For some reason, I nodded many times with a single word in my brain.

Lift it up so that it can be checked with a serious face, and then exhale.The smile broke down on my face.

Suki, what?

Master Leonhalt, you like me.

"Ehehehe....."

Two, the feeling of happiness boils from the back of your chest.

I'm happy, I'm happy, I'm going crazy.

Maybe one or two screws on the head have already fallen off.With too much happiness and unconsciousness, a funny laugh leaks out of your mouth.Your face muscles are loose, making you smile on your own.I must be so terrible that nobody can see me now.

Especially for Mr. Leonhalt.I don't want to be disillusioned because you really liked me.

"It's not a dream...?"

Murmur with a small voice after biting happiness once in a while.

Shortly afterwards, a small noise sounded as if I was watching the timing of calming down.

Your shoulders jump slightly into a modest knock.

"Yes," he answered, placing his hand on his chest, which carved a fast beat.But there was no reply from the other side of the door.

……

I wonder who.

I got out of bed with suspicion.

Speaking of which, I wonder what happened to Klaus.Even if I change hands because of the late hour, I'm sure someone from the nearby guard will be there.

Close to the door while tilting your neck.

I put my hand on the knob and it stuck.

In view of the situation and the time, I decided it was bad to open it.

"... who are you?"

Ask with a vigilant voice.

After a brief silence, he returned, "It's Leonhart," and opened the door like a conditional reflex.

From the gap between the doors, you can see a flat face.

I was happy and tried to laugh, but I noticed that his expression was hard, and I became half-faced.

"... what's wrong?"

The next time I saw him, I flew somewhere with happy worries about what to look like and what to say.

As much as that, Mr. Leonhalt has a sad face.

"... I have something to tell His Highness."

Just like the expression, a hard voice.

The way you talk and call it is completely different from when you exposed yourself.Suddenly thrown away, I felt a heartless feeling that my feet were about to collapse.

The feeling of happiness just now is slowly withering away.

"Leon, ma'am...?"

I wonder what happened.

Maybe something terrible happened while I was closing it.

What is it?

I told myself it wasn't a floating case and tightened my expression.

After a little silence, Leonhart opens his mouth.

"I have decided to marry Kanon Fuzuki."

"... eh?"

Whatever you say in a low voice is not really believable.

A stunned voice fell out of my lips.

... married?

Hanayeon-chan is getting married... with whom?

With his eyes open and his eyes fixed, Lord Leonhalt continued his words.

"With His Majesty's forgiveness, I plan to celebrate next spring."

Hanayeon-chan made a decision to stay in this world, and she plans to marry me when she becomes an adopted daughter of a relative's Vicomte.Since the successor to the Earl of Olsayne will be handed over to his brother, he won't have to bear the shackles of the Countess.The information you don't want to hear is getting packed into your head more and more.

I don't want to know that.

Why. Why?

You said you liked me, didn't you?

You wanted me so desperately.

Why would you marry someone else?

There are a lot of questions, but I can't say them well.

He gripped his trembling hand and looked up at Leon Hart-sama.Why are you laughing when nothing is fun?

"... that's a lie, right?"

……

Silence is all that comes back to the grabbed questions.

"You said you liked me...."

Leonhart-sama sees me desperately spinning words with pitiful eyes.

The black eyes were not the usual soft warmth, and the empty darkness without temperature was staring at me.

"I've never loved you as a woman."

Hyu, take a short breath.

After freezing me cold, he threw a cruel word like a chase.

"I thought you had a dream."

That happy time is just a dream.

In that way... in my beloved's way.

He was infused with lethal amounts of poison that could stop him from breathing.

Maybe the beat actually stopped for a few seconds.That much power was in his words.

"....."

Take a big breath and exhale.

Squeeze your lips tightly and focus on your feet.

If it had been me a while ago, I would have been crying out loud without shame or audience.

I must have cried as hard as I could to keep dying.

But I'm not gonna cry right now.

Can't you cry even though you're not sad?

Once again, breathe slowly and deeply, then focus on the presence in front of you.

Looking at what my loved one looked like, I opened my mouth.

"... who are you?"

Your long black eyes are open.

For a moment, I looked surprised, but I didn't seem upset.He replies silently, "Have you forgotten me?"

"You're not Mr. Leonhart.He's not supposed to say that. "

Leon Hart-sama's face (...) or (...) exhales with cold eyes.

"I don't love you, do I?"

Breathe into the piercing pain.But immediately, I shook my head and wiped it out.

"Even if the confession of love is a dream, even if the lover of Leonhart... is not me... I can still say clearly that you are not Leonhart."

I cut off my words and looked at it in front of me.

"That's how much Leon Halt has cherished me."

A child as old as his parents and children told him their love, and while confused, he was always sincere to me.

Such a kind person can't hurt me with such a terrible choice of words.

To the extent that I can ride the diagram in this way, I have a consciousness that has been valued.

So there's no need to cry, no reason to get hurt.

"Stop fooling around with my loved ones.Basically, it's not at all similar.It's half a billion times as good as yours. "

I cut my eyes as I was about to tear my eyes off.

"Study harder and come back!"

The moment you scream, the figure in front of you twists.

Every space I thought was my own room, mixed like the contents of a stirred pot, disappears into darkness.

Ah, when I realized that what I was seeing was a dream, my consciousness suddenly rose.
