Today is the school graduation party.
The voice that sounded like the last place in school life to be rembered was too cruel for .
"Ashley, let destroy your engagent."
My prince said, with cold eyes at .
Next to it was a woman who wasn't .
I wonder what I shouldn't have done?
Would you have wanted temporary happiness as a guide to the suffering of the perpetual robbery?
That was about 10 years ago.
"Master Ashley, it's ti to go back to Angelica."
It was Anastasia, an escort and caregiver, who walked into the room.
"Okay. We'll be ready now."
I pinched a pinch in the book I was reading and placed it on my desk.
Ever since I was a kid, my hobby has been reading.
I'm an abusive reader, but I especially like stories, and my favorite was a romantic novel.
"Also, you're reading that book. Co on, don't you get tired of it?
"Yeah, this book is my favorite now. I never get tired of reading it again and again."
My favorite is the story of princes and princesses being bound, and I've read it over and over again.
In fact, the content itself quickly rembered, but I recall reading it in a book to a completely different degree of emotion. If you don't read the book, you can't be touched.
"I'm happiest when I'm reading this book."
"Dear Ashley..."
In the book I am one free girl.
Only in the book can I be free. I'm free to fall in love.
"Co on, we can't keep you waiting, Angelica, let's get ready."
As much as I can, I want Master Angelica to be at peace.
I hurried to prepare myself and headed to Master Angelica.
Master Angulica lives in a heavily guarded castle.
There are only a few who let themselves freely into the castle, with the exception of , the successor.
Others need to undergo very careful checks.
There is no other way to approach Master Angelica than with the soldiers and samurai of the escort.
Because they only speak the least amount of words, there is always no sound around Master Angelica.
Even now, all we hear is the sound of walking.
"Oh, Ashley. You've co so well."
"It's been a while. Dear Angelica,"
Master Angelica is to a master, a second mother, soone to be respected and dear to.
"I'd really like to have a normal conversation with Ashley, but I really need to tell you sothing first."
"What is it?
When Angelica called , it was mostly a story about your work or a public story.
To say it's not a public story is to say it's about your work.
Master Angelica was silent for a while and said this after weeping.
"… I intend to finish working in 10 years"
"Huh!"
I, of course, breathed Anastasia, who was next door.
"I really thought it was going to be okay for a while now, but it seed more burdenso than I thought. Squeeze the last force and endure 10 years. But I can't do any more than that. I'm really sorry for Ashley."
I have heard that there has been a great deal of ti between the birth of Master Angelica and the birth of .
The spirit of Angelica was already at its limit.
"Care......, thank you......"
Because of my young age, I am asking you to endure 10 years of pushing.
A great deal of gratitude mixed with a touch of grudge and tears ca out of my eyes as well.
Naturally, we couldn't possibly have a normal chat, and we went straight back to the room that day.
"Master Ashley, hold your heart strong. Still, I have 10 years. Now that you are officially the successor, most of what you want will co true. In the course of 10 years, ask for anything you want."
……………………
Anastasia inspires to be silent.
But now I don't feel like thinking about anything.
"I'm going to bed..."
"Dear Ashley..."
I was prepared to visit one day, but I can actually see it.
Before we get into the bottomless swamp of thought, let's go to bed today.
The next day, even though I was awake, my eyes were closed.
When I got out of bed, Anastasia was sitting in a chair looking at .
"... good morning"
"Good morning, A., Master Ashley. How about dinner?
I think I heard so strange words.
I woke up in the morning, dinner?
"Isn't it a mistake for breakfast?
"It's already evening. Master Ashley was off for the whole day."
…………
It seed much more shocking than I thought.
But thanks to a good night's sleep, I have a neat head.
I was pessimistic yesterday, but it wasn't just a bad thing.... I decided to think so.
"Anastasia. Those who work are allowed all kinds of preferences, right?
"Yeah, only in the country, but any hope will co true. We work from the country when it cos to overseas, so we can't make a commitnt..."
"That's all you need to hear. One, I want you to get what you want."
"Please tell what it is"
And I took my desk's favorite reading and told Anastasia what I wanted.
Then a few days later, my wishes were to co true.
"This is Aston, the first prince of the Kingdom of Pajer."
"Best wishes. My na is Ashley."
"Nice to et you"
Before was a prince with sarcastic blonde hair and bright blue eyes.
"Master Ashley will be Aston's fiancée. As Ti King, escort your princess."
"Yes, I understand. Give your hand."
I took the prince's hand and smiled.
I felt like I was in a story.
Though what I wanted, I didn't expect this to happen either.
My hope is, 'For the remaining 10 years, I will be the prince's fiancée and live in school'.
It was a delightful miscalculation that the royal family had an ideal looking prince my age.
Worst case scenario, because I thought it would be a good idea to have so school attendance.
... I understand best myself as a farce.
The point is, I just wanted to be like the characters in the story.
Love the prince and be loved by the prince. I wanted to be such a happy girl.
I just beca a fiancée, and it's not like I can actually get married.
There's no way I can risk having a child.
Really just play for 10 years.
Still, I wanted it.
In support of my own 'story', I decided to be prepared to spend eternity. That's all.
"Dear Aston, it's a beautiful day, so let's go for a walk together"
"Master Aston, I've been baking sweets. Let's eat together."
"Master Aston, I'd like an escort for the party."
Then, at the heart of my actions, I beca a prince.
By spending as much ti with the prince as possible, I was turning away from the hard future.
The prince always accompanied with a smile.
Ask Anastasia, my fiancée confined herself to a prince who would hang out with on the understanding that it was a farce, so I guess I'll be happy for the promised decade.
Anastasia says the prince also has a solid reward.
I don't mind if I try to be arid. I don't care what's inside. Just if it gives temporary happiness.
Since entering the school, the distance between and the prince has only gotten a little further.
Naturally, I got the sa class, but I can't help it because the curriculum is different for n and won.
There was no dissatisfaction because we would talk in class, and the monster would have escorts.
However, around the prince, there were a few more people.
By contrast, I didn't have anyone close enough to be my friend.
I'm obviously different from the other kids, so I don't think I have a choice.
So I'm not dissatisfied. Because this is natural.
The situation changed about a month before the graduation party.
I was called by Lady Angelica and headed to the castle.
"Dear Angelica!
"... Ashley. Oh, good, you're here..."
Master Angelica was terribly tired and fell on the floor.
Around, Angelica's long hair was scattered, which she thought had been cut a thousand tis.
"I can't do this anymore... I'm sorry I didn't put up with you for 10 years..."
"Don't worry about that. I'm ready and ready."
While spending the past nine years with the prince, he was also preparing to take over.
It was terrible at first.
When I first accompanied Master Angelica to work, I cried, vomited and freaked out.
If you don't hold your mind fairly strong, it's not very, but it's not going to hold up.
Repeating the number of tis, getting used to it made it less ugly at first.
Of course, it's not okay. Spicy things are spicy.
I could stand nothing more than the presence of a prince.
Readiness ans being ready to sacrifice your mories with the prince to protect him.
If you get here, all you have to do is perform the ritual of inheritance later.
If you insist, is it hard enough to say goodbye to Master Angelica?
"Thanks...... Then we'll start taking over..."
"Yes."
A ritual of inheritance was perford with Angelica, who stood up, albeit slightly.
As I was told, the supernormal powers also seed to have taken over.
This stuff, for what it's worth living in this castle, is of no use.
"Well then... I'll go... Sorry, but handing over the castle will be a while..."
"Yes, good job so far, for a long ti..."
My final greeting, I left the castle.
Then for a while, the castle was in a hurry, but there was nothing more I could do.
During that rush I was to be off school.
Honestly, school credits don't an anything to .
Besides, I'm not proud of it, but I've never given up my top grades. I am well qualified to graduate.
"Anastasia, please. Just let the graduation party out."
"Dear Ashley, I can't do that. You can't risk Ashley any more."
I'm eligible to graduate, but I didn't know you couldn't even let out for a graduation party in the first place...
I have already had the sa interaction with Anastasia many tis, but this ti I have a trump card that ca up with yesterday. With this, you shouldn't lose.
"But only residents of this country co to the graduation party, right? You get all your wishes in the country, don't you? If I wish, my safety is certain, isn't it?
"Ugh..."
Anastasia with the look on her face that she was poked where it hurt.
"I think I will continue to feel uneasy in a country where I can't even make sure I'm safe for just one day"
"Oh, that's..."
"My tenure is going to be shorter than I thought..."
"Wow, I get it! Sohow, I'll just arrange for one day so I can go to school!
Like Master Angelica, the peace of my heart takes precedence over everything else.
It's been in the form of a half-threatening, but this is all I can't give in.
Now, as the Prince wrote to , I think I'll be able to attend the graduation party.
Graduation party day.
I was escorted by the prince and ca to the party venue.
Anastasias, the escorts are waiting outside the party venue.
Let say that this is largely impossible too.
There were a lot of conditions attached to being able to attend the party for only an hour or never speak of cooking or anything, but I guess the Anastasias gave in to their limits as well.
Other strict belongings inspections were imposed on party attendees.
There is no knife, etc., available only for cooking and other items that can be eaten by hand.
When it cos to magic, it doesn't matter because it doesn't work for .
Now the danger must have been greatly reduced.
I apologize to the other participants, but I will protect you instead, so please forgive .
"Ashley, let's dance"
"Yes, Master Aston"
And we danced the last dance.
Yes, this was the last dance.
After dancing the whole way, we decided to bicker in the corner of the venue.
It's a space for those who want to be a little quiet.
It is manners not to speak to those who are here.
"Ashley, I need to tell you sothing."
"What is it?
The mont I asked, the prince's expression beca more rude.
"I hate you."
"Huh?"
For a mont, I didn't know what they said.
"He said he was busy studying to be king, but he always ca along and it was annoying"
The prince, he was always with with a smile.
If you were hiding sothing from , there was nothing wrong with it.
"I don't like sweet things, but I bring sweets that don't even taste good every ti"
The prince was eating sweets, saying they were delicious.
If you were hiding sothing from , there was nothing wrong with it.
"Regardless of when I was a kid, in and you today, there's too much difference in height and I just look like a babysitter, not an escort. I don't even understand that, I'm asking for an escort. Nothing."
The prince was always kind enough to take my hand.
If you were hiding sothing from , there was nothing wrong with it.
"From ti to ti, I co to see you with a grueso, grumpy face. Honestly, I was creepy and I didn't like to see my face"
The prince doesn't know you work.
If you were hiding sothing from , there was nothing wrong with it.
"Even though I, the prince, go to school without escort, you were the only one with a noisy escort at all tis. It was rudintary and an obstacle to enjoying school life. I don't care if you try to keep your distance, you co close."
The prince only looked at him for a mont.
Sothing was not hidden from .
"If you hate so much, you should have said no first..."
He was the prince who would go out with knowing that the request in the first place was a farce.
"I just accepted it because I heard that the ti King's seat would be confird. So far, I didn't think he was a hassle. You tell your father you want to dissolve your engagent later, but that's not possible."
Disengagent (that) would not be possible in many ways.
I heard after the engagent that the current king and the First Queen are drowning the prince... and they want to be the next king.
Those who have beco my fiancée will have the privilege of having my clan behind them.
I guess I was going to use this farce as an opportunity to make the First Prince my next king.
But how can we dissolve the engagent? The clan regards the First Prince as its enemy.
Whether you're royal or not, there's no way you can turn your clan against your enemies and be safe.
Naturally, it can't be allowed to dissolve the engagent.
... Then I would have liked you to at least include telling to hide my true intentions until the end.
"So far, I've been patient and I'll be free of you with the patience of the next year. I know that, but I don't think I can stand that year."
Did you hate that much?
"I have soone I truly love, not a fake like you."
"Ugh..."
The prince's words were shocking, I felt a strong dizziness and collapsed on the spot.
If you look closely, I wasn't the only one who fell.
The people at the party hall are falling one after another.
In no ti, the only girl standing up in the venue was the prince and the girl approaching.
"Is it late?
"Aria, I've been waiting for you.... Now you have all the actors."
The girl, called Aria, stood next to the prince and put her arms together with a natural face.
Beautiful girl. Sowhere, there's a luscious colour.
"This... the hell..."
"This is a ritual to free from the curse I call you. How much I've been waiting for this day to co..."
The prince said a deadly word to with cold eyes.
"Ashley, let destroy your engagent."
Yeah, if this is a romance novel, it's the worst bad end.
Am I not even allowed to dream happily?
"Finally, I'm bound to you?
"Oh, dear Aria. We're almost there."
The two hugged each other in front of .
I want the bad end to stop now.
But on my bad end, there was more to it.
The prince spoke to with a gawking eye, unlike the cold eyes he had had earlier.
"Now, as you may have noticed, we are the only three people in this venue who are conscious right now. This is a phenonon that Aria had with her secret magic tools (magic items)."
"Yeah, it's a precious item, and it gives you sleep quite extensively. It's very difficult to prepare, but if you activate it successfully, it won't happen for an hour. Your escorts were asleep."
"Naturally, we can prevent it. You kept it to a point where you couldn't move to talk."
And I realize that there's no one here to protect .
"I'm sorry. If you're alive, you're in the way."
"Kill you here and pretend we sleep too. I made it look like a thief. It's a complete plan."
With that said, the prince took the sword out of the blind spot on the wall.
"It was forbidden to bring weapons, but the investigation of the venue seed sweet. It was worth bringing you in."
From the beginning, did you call to kill you?
Because the prince wants it, even though he ca to the graduation party through impossibility.
ragged, and sothing broke in .
"This is the eternal goodbye. Is there anything I can tell you? I won't tell you, but I'll just listen."
Prince, no, Aston pulls out the sword and shakes it up.
Aston's actions an nothing, in fact.
If I die, this world will perish.
If I survive, Aston will be executed.
Either way, Aston's wishes will never co true.
So, which is better for ?
Do you want to die here, or do your job alive?
What do you work for? For who?
There is no place for to work hard when I lose my heart.
But if you run here and ask your clan for help, you won't be able to escape from work.
It has nothing to do with my will.
So it's a good idea to die here?
It's not bad to die here, as long as you taste the pain of perpetual robbery.
I gave up and tried to ditate my eyes.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
No. Absolutely not.
It is good for to die. It's not good, but at this ti, it's good.
If you don't work, you won't be able to live that long.
But I just can't stand dying before Aston.
I don't care about Aston being satisfied for just a mont.
I don't want to die until Aston dies like no other.
Then we've decided to do it.
"I'm the running water"
…… What are you talking about?
Aston looks surprised.
"The running water doesn't stay in one place, it keeps moving. Even if poisoned, all clear water flows again. That's the sa for .... don't look sweet at my resilience!
"What!?
As soon as I got up, I activated the magic.
"'Call Elent' Aquawind!
It was the maiden with running water who showed up.
This is a rare spirit with two attributes: water and wind, inherited from Master Angelica.
Lady Angelica called her Aida.
I'm sorry, Master Angelica.
I will use the power I inherited from you to protect the world for the opposite.
"Hey, what's this!?
"This is the Spirit...... I didn't know you were following a spirit with so much power..."
In front of two amazing people, I am wrapped up in the Spirit.
With the power of the Spirit (Aida), you will be able to leave the Prince.
But the girl who says Aria doesn't know the bottom. Fight decently, I don't feel like I can win.
So I run away.
At the end of the day I shouted with all my strength.
"... a country like this, you just have to perish!... a world like this, you just have to perish!
"Let him go!
Aston waves his sword at the sa ti I flip myself, but it is inhibited by Aida.
"Gu......!?
Shortly after, sothing stabbed the running water maiden and the pain reached .
Is this, no way... a curse?
Looking back as he fled, Aria was dressed to finish throwing.
Give a peek at the joy that I can't even enjoy on that face.
I jumped out of a party venue, and I went on with my selflessness.
Run, not. Fly in the sky.
Aida, the Spirit who also presides over the wind, can continue to fly through the sky as long as the magic continues.
Luckily for you, Aria didn't co after .
But soon I understood that the idea was a mistake.
I didn't have to chase him.
Because the curse I received earlier had the effect of magic mist dispersion.
The curse, not only on , but also on Aida.
Either way, it's a form caught in Aida's curse.
Anyway, if Aida keeps spreading her magic, she won't be able to keep her presence.
If Aida is gone and my magic is gone, the art of fighting does not exist.
We need to escape sowhere magical and safe to heal Aida...
Would there have been such a convenient place?
I rember the map of this country and desperately thought about it but I can't think of it.
My clan has a long life and a very good mory.
But it's not a blessing, it's a curse. Because you can't forget what you want to forget.
Especially if your spiciness doesn't heal, it's deadly.
I hear that the past generations who have finished working must have hard themselves.
After Angelica had already been summoned to heaven.
Yes, Aida is the spirit that Master Angelica t at an early age.
The Spirit originally prefers places rich in magic. If Aida was where she was, she should be able to recover.
"Aida! Take where you grew up!
Aida seed to understand my intentions and changed the direction I was going.
According to my mory, there are many uninhabited islands ahead of us.
I arrived at Aida's birthplace.
Aida's magic was on the verge of depletion, really critical.
It's an uninhabited island near the border, with no significant resources, so no one gets near it.
However, since the magic power is abundant, Aida did everything in her power to restore it.
The curse placed on us is not permanent, but is gradually weakening, and because the amount of healing exceeded the amount of mist, Aida is also heading towards comfort, albeit slightly.
I haven't suffered as much damage as Aida, but I've lost a fair amount of magic, too.
For a while, I'm going to have a hard ti using magic.
I'm confident in resilience too, but that's limited to what I can naturally recover from.
It is not compatible with curses that do not naturally heal.
Besides, it's not compatible with that either, as it's a crowd when it cos to the amount of magic restored.
In a sense, it could drag more damage than an aida that can absorb magic.
For a while. I'm going to hide myself here.
Maybe in a month or so, the ruin will appear. After two months, this world will end.
Seeing Aston and his country perish, I'm going to finish the raw one, too.
If the people of the clan decide that it is really dangerous, they will use their treasures to evacuate to the sky, so they will not perish.
I hate to work for you, but I don't even want Anastasia and the others to die.
Well, that's my current outfit, but I can't help but say I'm half naked.
Specifically, I only have one pair of silk pants wrapped around .
Dresses are nothing but a disturbance on a deserted island where trees thrive.
I took it off when I arrived on the island.
Thus, one girl lost her civilization.
If Anastasia sees , what will they say?
However, it was not that difficult to improve the living environnt.
Magic power is greatly diminished, but minimal magic can be used, and there is knowledge of flora and fauna in the drawings.
It is also significant that Aida had so knowledge of this island.
There is also a shed that rainstorms and so food reserves.
In the first place, neither rain nor wind is harmful to ......
If there's a problem, it's a demonic threat.
By the ti Aida was on this island, she said there were so pretty dangerous demons.
I haven't encountered it so far, and I'm not sure if it's survival, but it would be better not to be optimistic.
Optimistic or pessimistic, it's what we et when we et.
A week after I arrived on the island, I finally t the demon.
It was too late when I realized the signs of the creature had disappeared from my surroundings.
"This... is not the person I can do sothing about..."
The demon was a chiric image of all sorts of demons combined.
Is the biggest feature like a tiger's head? It also grows things like bird feathers and plant twigs.
Obviously different in character as an organism. It is also natural for other creatures to escape.
I don't feel like Aida and I can win even if we're in full swing.
What do you want to do when I'm weakened, even though I can't win in full?
It's already completely captured and loosely approaching.
I guess you understand that I have no way to escape.
Or are you going to attack the mont I try to escape?
Like Aston's death, you're not going to see it...
That's all I care about.
I didn't feel like scratching my feet because I'd already given up raw.
I myself understand best that scratching is pointless.
I don't even know the prince who can help at a ti like this.
Wesen loosely approaching.
The tiger's head spreads its mouth and I see sharp fangs.
I give up and close my eyes......
"Gaw!?
Wesen jumped out of the scene in large asure.
- Don!
At the next mont, sothing pierced where the Wesen was.
"Yikes!
The shock made butt in without being able to stand either.
When I looked up, I was there...
"Sli?"
It was a transparent sli when I did it.
Where did this sli co from?
"Grrrrrrrr......"
But unlike my swallowing reaction like that, what Wesen showed was an obvious fright.
This sli doesn't look that strong...
"Gua!"
Wesen jumped like she had abandoned herself, showing fright.
I didn't an to take my eyes off it.
Yet, when I noticed, the Wesen was vertically twofold.
Dosari and the falling Wesen.
"Huh...?
Nothing, I couldn't see.
My opponent, who I thought I couldn't win, had been killed without any resistance.
It doesn't look strong, but this sli is unusual and strong.
And that sli jumped on .
"Ahhh!
Though I accepted death, I'm surprised I can suddenly co.
But it wasn't death that visited .
Sli is riding over my head, yurayura shaking.
Lighter than it looks and not as burdenso as good to say at all.
The area you are touching is puny and feels good.
This is harmless behavior, no matter what you think.
In the first place, if you were going to kill , you would have killed without having to jump.
You can instantly kill a Wesen without moving from the spot, so killing should be easier than that.
There is one possible conclusion.
This sli helped .
"haha..."
In too many situations, a dry laugh leaked out of my mouth.
I had no idea that a knight (Knight) would appear in a crisis of absolute desperation that would be betrayed by a prince and killed by demons.
That's all I hear, it's like a novel.
But with that knight (Knight) in the sli, there's nothing to be done about a romantic novel.
In the first place, is a romantic novel difficult at a ti when the prince is betraying you......
Then one sli was added to our lives.
The fixed position of the sli is over my head, but occasionally I stop flirting and hunt demons and beasts.
Not so much as a Wesen, but there seed to be a few dangerous demons when they were stuck by surprise.
I can feel strange and relieved just because the sli is there.
If you are bad, than when you are protected by a clan.
Sli doesn't talk about anything, so he hasn't been able to communicate with the will.
But the action was eloquent.
"I'll protect you."
