“Rachel………. I’m very happy that you would like to stand alongside me as the crown princess, but I don’t want you to push yourself too hard. I don’t mind being the one to take care of the political affairs.”

Lord Edward’s eyes widened in surprise at Rachel’s determination.

Lord Edward probably never thought that the weak and always protected Rachel would say that she want to stand alongside him.

“………I don’t want to be a decorative crown princess. If you want to have a decorative crown princess, I will hand over that position to someone else. Then, I will give up on Lord Edward.”

Rachel looked at Lord Edward with eyes that held a strong determination.

That gaze did not belong to Rachel who is always being protected.

“However, in that case, what will you and my child do?”

“That child has Lord Edward’s blood flowing in him. If Lord Edward is willing to receive him, then please do so. If you think that he will be a hindrance when you are choosing another consort, then please entrust him to me and I will raise him as if he doesn’t exist.”

“No way. Only Rachel can be my consort. I only asked that question because I was curious about what you would do if that actually happened, it’s not my true feelings. I’ll wait. I will always wait for you, Rachel.”

Lord Edward said that and smiled at Rachel.

“Thank you. Lord Edward.”

Rachel said as she nodded.

“Rachel. You’re not just a princess that’s going to be protected forever, right. You seem to be trying to break out of the cocoon in order to become a butterfly. I’m wholeheartedly supporting you. So, don’t worry, take your time and go forward in your path. However, I want you to come back to me as soon as possible. I want you to be there to see our child grow up.”

“Lord Edward. Understood, Lord Edward. I will make up my mind as soon as possible. For the sake of our child.”

It seemed like both of them have made a strong promise about what they are going to do in the future. They nodded at each other with a serious face.

I’m going to support them so that they could live together as soon as possible.

“Even though I said that I would support you, but I don’t think I’d be able to stay by your side. I’m sorry. We are currently in a critical situation with the neighboring country due to the Emperor’s sinister scheme. I’ll go to meet you as soon as things settle down. I hope you’ll be able to make up your mind at that time.”

“………Yes.”

Hearing that the relationship with the neighboring country is deteriorating, Rachel’s expression became somewhat depressed. 

“Please, please don’t do anything too dangerous.”

After saying that, Rachel reluctantly moved away from Lord Edward.

It seemed like it is almost time for Lord Edward to return to the castle.

Lord Edward also looked at Rachel as if he was reluctant to leave, then he turned his gaze towards Makoto

Makoto nodded and called Shiro and Kuro.

“Rachel. No matter what happens, I love you more than anything else in the world.”

Lord Edward quietly said that then he disappeared inside the vortex of light.

It’s a very good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you’re looking for.

Rachel, who was left behind, had tears in her eyes, but she quietly stared at the space where Edward had disappeared.

“………Rachel. Whatever your decision is, I’ll support you, if that means you can be happy.” 

“Thank you, Yuki.”

Yuki, who was also left behind by Lord Edward, firmly hugged Rachel.

Rachel also happily hugged Yuki. I felt like I saw the solid friendship between the two.

I wonder how much time had passed since then. 

Yuki and Rachel seemed to be talking to each other about various things.

Then, the night was over.

And yet, Rachel still remained conscious in my body.
