Chapter 91

Since then, Makoto has been calming me, or rather, Rachel, down. I then returned back to my room.

My initial plan to assassinate Akkudoi was utterly stopped by Makoto.

I really didn’t think that Rachel would show up just like that.

Perhaps Makoto knew all along that Rachel was inside of me somewhere.

And knowing that, she somehow woke Rachel who was inside of me.

I’m honestly not too sure.

However, it seems like Rachel, who’s soul was still inside of me, was sleeping peacefully.

After all, I didn’t feel her taking over my consciousness when I changed and slip into my bed. Likewise, I didn’t really feel her move my body around while I was conscious.

She probably has been depressed all this time.

All this time, she’s been under the pressure of becoming the crown princess. And she’s had this doubt about whether Lord Edward truly loved her or not. So it’s no surprise that she’s been depressed.

Well. To be honest, I think that it’s still all Lord Edward’s fault for not being upfront with her in the first place.

If Rachel was so concerned about their relationship, she should have just asked Lord Edward about it and trusted him as well.

“Just what is Makoto to you?” or something like that.

And because she didn’t do that, this kind of misunderstanding happened.

Well, it probably didn’t help that Yuki got in the way either.

Seems like everyone was misunderstanding everything.

I’m sure that after all of these misunderstandings are cleared, Rachel will go back to her body.

She has a child, after all.

I look outside my window and pray upon the brightest star I saw for the orphans in the church, as well as Rachel’s future. After doing so, I laid down on my bed.

“Good morning, Lyra. I had count Akkudoi detained just today.”

I slept in a little bit longer than usual today. As soon as I left my room, I was greeted by Makoto.

It seems like Makoto wanted to tell me the news as soon as possible, and he was waiting outside my room.

Oh yeah, he’s a guy.

…?

Wait, wait wait.

Up until now, I thought that Makoto was a guy, so I never really paid it much attention; but I’m living together with a guy?! 

Even if Makoto’s keeping me under surveillance or whatever, wouldn’t this be bad for his reputation?

“M-Makoto. I didn’t know you were a guy. So, I never really had any issues living together with you but, wouldn’t this be bad for you? I’m a bit worried that living together with you would hurt your reputation or something.”

I determinedly said.

Makoto widely opened his eyes in response.
