368 314. The Imperial Princess looks around.

... first noticed the warmth in my hand.

My left hand is so warm. When unconsciously powerful, it seemed to stain with a soft feeling.

I open my eyes thinly and notice a shadow peeking into me. I wonder when you were asleep, even your last memory is blurry.

A few times, blinking to reveal his sight, he said, "Pride...?" I heard a gentle voice.

How long has it been, the room is dim. I somehow thought it would be night outside. Gradually my eyes got used to it and I could clearly see Silhouette's face.

"... Leon...?

In the dark, I could clearly see his white skin. In the room, where only the small lights illuminated me, I broke my face as Leon, whose name was called, reassured me.

"How are you feeling...? Really, my legs don't hurt anymore...?

Leon's words made his consciousness clear step by step. Yes, I finished the defense battle, with Tiara in my room...

That's all I think about, and I realize I finally fell asleep after that. It embarrasses me myself to sleep like a child.

"Yeah, I'm fine now," he moved his mouth to respond to Leon's words with a blurry head. Somehow I should have fallen into bed and now I was properly put to sleep.

"I'm surprised. I'm so glad you didn't get hurt.

Return to the gentle Leon voice, with a grin. Thank you, I turned my eyes as I told him, but I can't clearly see to my expression because of the dimness. Leon, who doesn't move still standing beside me, wonders how long the hell he's been doing that and escorting me.

"You must have sheltered a soldier from the circus, didn't you?... I think your place is very honorable.

I tried to give Leon back that I couldn't do very well and he put his index finger on my lips and stopped in front of me enough to touch it or not. Connected with "but," Leon's finger temperature nearby came through without touching his lips, waking up all at once.

"You can't get hurt. [M] Thou shalt not be wounded, even if thou art in danger, king.... I think of you, a lot of people get hurt.

Of course, me too. Leon's eyes glowed lusciously for a moment, he said. When his face got hot and he couldn't move out of the bed and squeezed his lips, Leon's fingers gently moved away.

It's a word from Leon, the next king of the kingdom of Anemone. Before I fell asleep, I was left speechless and I accidentally froze myself.

To my reaction, my luscious eyes laugh. "I'm suddenly sorry to wake you up," he said, strengthening one of the lights in the room. I get to see Leon's expression more clearly than I just did.

"Because you are so loved.

Strengthen one more light. I accidentally shriveled my eyes at the nearby lights more than I had just done. He smiles back at me with a smooth grin when he points his narrowed eyes at Leon, then gently shows me the left hand side. Tiara was squeezing my warm left hand all the way when I looked at her as shown.

Sleeping while sitting in a chair, trying to ram me into my bed. I found out that he stayed beside me all the time with a blanket hanging on his back, in his armor.

"I was awake when we visited, but... I never left you.

Leon smiled smoothly at me and as soon as I saw Tiara again I wanted to cry again. I can't believe you were beside me when I should be so tired.

Then Leon went on to say, "Of course, so did they," pointing in another direction. It's across the bed from Leon. Looking back, Captain Alan and Captain Column were there, and he bowed his head silently and deeply as soon as I turned my eyes. You haven't rested for a moment, and you've been protecting us.

Wake up, someone will be there. For some reason that's all I am now, I was more than happy.

When I think about it, tears seep in at will, and I get embarrassed like a child and bite my lower lip off. Still, overflowing tears conveyed, wetting the sheets as they were.

-... the moment I thought I would. Leon wiped me with his fingertips.

Softly, a fingertip that touched him so loudly that he could plunder his cheeks sees where the tears landed and snaps away.

If I looked up surprised, Leon also wiped the other eye area with his wet fingertips, laughing unchanged.

"For the first time, I was touched by your tears.

Leon, proud somewhere and laughing like a prank, was so luscious,... human.

My heart rattled at Leon's grin, which was demonically illuminated by the room's lighting. I'm even ashamed of my posture while I'm asleep anymore, trying to move only my upper body to wake up my body. And as soon as Leon said, "Are you okay?" He gently put his hands on my back, "he said.

He slowly lowered to the side of his head, borrowing Leon's hand, to avoid moving his leg with his left hand gripped by Tiara intact, leaving his back in the pillow where he was keeping his head. When Marie and Lotte looked at each other with their eyes, Leon immediately told me, "If they were samurai, Prince Steele would have led us back to the country once."

"... I knew you'd prefer a smile. Because your smile is warmer than the light of the sun.

Sweet words and a smooth grin at the same time, embarrassing me again and making my face hot. Rather, the words are worthy of Tiara, but when I think they are directed at me, it lights me up very well.

Speaking of which, how long the hell has it been since then? When I turned my face to look back to ask Captain Column, I noticed the wall behind Fufu Leon. That's where Leon was shadowed and invisible in his earlier sleeping position. It seemed confusing to the dimness of the room, and I didn't even know if it was a person for a moment.

"... Val?

Chemetho, Sefek and I will call you by more names.

When I noticed them, Leon hung on me a little bit and turned to Val smaller. Val was sitting on the floor not responding to a word of my call and being brought to the wall without a single movement. I thought you were asleep, but only a vicious sharp eye hole was pointed at me with a guillotine. On the side the usual bags of loads were erected against the wall, trying to pinch him so that Chemetho and Sefek could lean against Val's shoulders and knees and sleep.... Apparently, he can't move.

I couldn't help but wave my hand gently and only tongue pounding returned. He strayed from me with every face and stripped his teeth uncomfortably.

"He's been waiting for you to wake up, too.

Unexpectedly round your eyes and review Val for Leon's words, which he whispers so that only I can hear him.

You noticed my gaze, the first time Val spoke while lurking, "Hey, what the hell did you say?" Shortly afterwards, when Sefek and Chemetho moaned small, they shut their mouths again and looked depressingly at each of them. Leon whispered to me ridiculously, "Though I said it was annoying when you two woke up".

Gashigashi scratched his head as Val glanced at Leon's back like he was going to shoot through it. Somehow, they know they're saying things that aren't funny to them.

"... worried, thanks for doing so. I'm so sorry."

Naturally, it was overflowing from my mouth.

The words addressed to Leon and the Vals were uttered more clearly than I thought and reached their ears.

Leon smiled back gently and his eyes were really warm. Was Val behind it an unexpected word or keeping his eyes round like a plate with his mouth shut?

"I'm so glad the four of you are safe,... I'm glad.

Neither of us were really in a position to get involved in this defense fight.

You must have done a lot of hard work, even where I don't know. I can't thank you enough.... but now unfortunately I can only return that in words.

Then he stroked my hair so slightly that he didn't know if Leon would touch it again. I felt just softer, and if I turned to Leon, that luscious look was pointed at me again. Holding his breath just by accident, Leon slowly pulled his hand and laughed at me from close range.

"It's okay now. Because an hour ago the situation settled considerably. You can go back to your beloved kingdom of Friesia.

With that said, Leon turned his heel and walked out towards the door. Surprised by the sudden exit, Leon looked back once in front of the door.

"I'm sorry to be one step ahead of you. The knights are waiting on the ship, and... I have a country to go back to.

I'll also tell Prince Steele that you woke up, and Leon laughed at me for the last time with a word. He also greeted the Kingsguard knights and the Vals with his eyes, then disappeared across the door. The door is closed without sound, and silence fills the room again.

After hearing Leon's footsteps as he left, I exhaled slowly to take a deep breath.

"... Captain Column, could you... please explain the current situation?

Now it's time to look back at Captain Column again. Captain Column, who responded immediately, followed the order and began to explain what happened after the war from scratch.

So I finally learned of the peaceful establishment of the Kingdom of Friesia and the Radian Empire.

Completely, the war was over.

……

"The wounded are to be treated immediately! Each captain, the deputy captain will report to me after confirming the damage! Turn the rest from the finished squad!

Kingdom of Chinensis, in the castle.

By Joan, the king, many knights gathered in the temporarily open large hall, and Roderick, the chief of the knighthood, kept skipping instructions unchanged.

The achievements of the knights and soldiers also led to the completion of the sweep of the enemy soldiers in the country, and the circulation and induction of the end of the war to the people had been taken over by the soldiers and guards of Cerseis and the kingdom of China.

The establishment of the peace negotiations was also communicated through correspondents, and now that the security of the United Hanazoo kingdom was fully guaranteed, it was also a measure from the two kings who wanted the knights to rest themselves.

"Arthur Beresford. You rest first, too, and I'm good afterwards.

After completing the report of all the knights of the Eighth Squad being unwounded, it was when Arthur asked if the first assignment of knights to turn the rest.... with a little anxiety about certain rumors the knights around them exchange.

To Arthur, who asks, Harrison hurls the knife without hesitation and says, "Anyone is fine if no one is injured," and Arthur avoids saying, "Oh, but you can't decide at your discretion!," he shouted, twisting his body and turning a kick around Harrison's neck. At the end of the day, after Arthur stuck his gun to Harrison's side head, he was finally instructing Arthur to name the first knight to turn his rest in the right condition.

"No, but... Aren't Captain Harrison tired too...? Shouldn't you just get dressed first...

Arthur gave it back so that it was a little distracting to take a break ahead of the captain. Return to Harrison, who is drier and more scorched brown than red from head to toe… as it is. All knights were convinced that everything was not Harrison's blood, even without asking. But Harrison, who only returns "no problem" with Arthur's words, didn't mean to, and turned his back without question.

"... n me, did I look tired...?

He was Arthur, who fought a long death battle, but he was not aware of his fatigue.

Arthur, who fought quickly and vigorously with Harrison, even from the eyes of most knights, not only in person, would only have seemed to solidify his youth.

With a small breath in Harrison's words and deeds as usual, Arthur had no choice but to turn to the knights of the Eighth Squad for instructions to rest.... then.

"Arthur."

Suddenly, Arthur looks back when his name is called from the shadows. Seeing, just in the shadow of a box of weapons, Steele lurked herself.

"Stayle, why are you here?"

Though the great hall of the castle, it is now the resting place for the knights. If you're coming to see what's going on with the Knights, why did you show up to hide like this?

Running over to the style, he lowers his voice as he walls himself invisible to the other knights. It was the first reunion since it ended, but the surprise was stronger than the joy. Style covered the words before Arthur tried to unleash the next word.

"Arthur, call me when it's time to rest. You're the only one who wants to see your sister properly.
