You dont like it?
Griffith asked as if he knew everything about Roo. Roo was speechless.
Roo, who hesitated to answer, soon made up his mind and nodded.
Okay, I dont want to. I I dont want to force her to do sothing like that. Unless its what Lellia wants.
Lelia will eventually want it.
Griffith said aningfully. His tone was very confident.
What are you talking about?
Lelia doesnt want us to point swords at each other, so its going to end up like that. She cant throw away any of us.
Last ti, I failed because I was in a hurry and I was too excited Im going to wait now. Even if I dont force it right away, itll happen soday.
It was a voice full of beliefs. At that mont, it seed like a new priest reading the Bible believing it was true.
Roo turned his head, feeling goosebumps on his skin.
Crazy guy.
Crazy guy!
Crazy guy!!
A gloomy guy!
A perv**t!!
He muttered abusive language out of his mouth as if for Griffith to listen openly, and soon sat in a comfortable position.
Griffith looked at him in doubt. Roo spoke like he wanted to pick a fight.
What are you looking at? What do you think a stalker like you would do to Lelia? Im going to keep an eye on you here.
Whatever.
Griffith didnt care. Rather, he seed to like it, saying he had a companion.
Roo seed to be boiling.
Griffith looked out the window feeling relaxed.
When he thought of Lelia, who was sleeping peacefully there, he smiled. He patted his chin lightly.
So Oscar, when do you want to co?
There must have been sothing.
The reason why Oscar cant co to Lelias side with ease.
Whatever the reason was, he would soon find out.
Even the waiting was sweet.
He never tried to drive a wedge, but sohow he thought it would be fun.

A few days later, late at night.
Lelia couldnt fall asleep easily again today, and was sitting with her back leaning against the bedside.
Since the emperors return, unstable but peaceful days have continued.
Lelia has now put her mind down enough to put off worrying about the emperor for a while.
The guilt did not completely disappear, but the emperor had a family to comfort him anyway.
Empress, Cedric, Damien, and Julianna. It was rather fortunate that they were next to the emperor.
Now she deserves to enjoy so peace, but the anxiety did not disappear from Lelias mind.
Oscar was not coming back.
Its been days since she waited without any promise.
In fact, each passing day felt like a few years.
Lelia was eating peacefully and talking happily with other friends.
They were now fully adapted to the territory and stayed with Lelias family without hesitation.
In particular, her uncle liked to take Kalix to train the Knights, but he seed to like Kalixs tireless physical strength.
As expected, Kalix, my eyes that recognized you were not wrong. ns physical strength is the best, right, Lelia?
Her uncle complinted Kalix at every al and forced Lelia to answer.
Lelia felt sorry for the knights, who were overworked by her uncle and Kalix every day.
Even her uncle, who said that, looked very tired.
Only Kalix looked fine. But her uncle looked so happy that Lelia just nodded.
And Aunt Atias Whenever she had a break, she ca to Lelia and said, Lelia, marry Roo. Your aunt has been betrayed by a man once, and its rare for a man to be that good.
There is no man in the world who is so delicate, handso, and has such a good body. And he is rich too.
Lelia seed to know how Roo coaxed her tricky aunt.
Roo had a lot of common sense in various fields, especially in the jewelry field that Aunt Atias liked.
I heard they send people to the Roseberry Empire to bring a lot of jewelry. But he doesnt want to go back ho. How can there be a better husband than this?
Above all, Roo seed to be stuck with the fact that he had no intention of returning to his ho country.
Roo enjoyed various conveniences as a royal family, but he had no right to succeed. That seed to be what her aunt liked.
And Griffith She didnt understand anything about him.
Kalix and Roo still had a lot of ti to eat together or drink tea and face each other, but Griffith had been particularly busy recently.
She found out through the servant that Griffiths daily routine was very tight. It must have been difficult to see his face.
Griffith takes a walk with his grandmother and grandfather as soon as he wakes up in the morning.
After that, he stays in her grandfathers office and has lunch with her mother. She didnt know what he was doing in her grandfathers office.
In the afternoon, he helped her grandmother and mother recover, but he had free ti only in the late evening.
Lelia felt grateful and sorry for Griffith.
After returning from the temple, Lelia had always paid attention to Griffith and decided to talk to him first, unlike when she was young. However, it was Griffith who was busy.
In the end, she was uncomfortable with the fact that she couldnt talk to Griffith properly after that.
She wanted to thank him
And as such a peaceful day went by, Lelia missed Oscar.
What would Oscar have been like if he had stayed together in this territory?
Who do I beco the closest to?
Lelia sohow thought Oscar would stick close to her.
Whenever the three friends drank tea with Lelia, they would show off how close they had beco to their families.
Of course, unlike Kalix and Roo, Griffith laughed at the two and showed them only in action.
The way grandmother, grandfather, and mother looked at Griffith was enough. Their eyes were full of trust.
Lelia imagined Oscar to be there.
As always, Oscar seed to look only at her without thinking about getting close to anyone.
Like he doesnt care about anything else.
To be honest, she missed Oscars blind attention and affection.
Tired of longing, she even dread of Oscar coming out, when she heard the news.
It was news that a new emperor was crowned to the Hraesvelg Empire.
Oscar was not the new emperor.
He was the young son of a lord who had a small land very far from the imperial city of Hraesvelg.
The child, who was a young master of rural land, beca an emperor overnight.
Everyone in the world was wondering, but Lelia instinctively felt that Oscar would be back soon.
Ill be back, by your side
Ill be by your side forever.
She still heard it clearly in my ears.
The low voice that penetrated her ears asking for permission and the touch of the lips that were sitting on the shoulders.
When Lelia was alone, she looked out the window every day and waited for Oscar.
Because she was sure that he would co through the window.
But soone else was convinced of it.
Like a hunter waiting with a trap, soone sat on a bench in the garden every night and stared at the window.
Hey, arent you tired?
Roo asked in a disgusting tone.
It was the sa tonight.
Roo was sick and tired of Griffith sitting on the bench in the sa posture every night with the sa expression.
It was really creepy and annoying.
He didnt even have sleep. Roo couldnt stop swearing. It seed to control the fatigue of the body with sacred power, but Roo had a hard ti.
Roo was a person who loved the sweet mood when he woke up after sleeping late.
He can control his sleep with magic, but It was also a day or two.
It was difficult to maintain his magic without enough rest.
But he couldnt even leave that crazy jerk alone.
He talked about surveillance To be honest, Griffith was the one to lock up and monitor.
So Roo camped across the bench where Griffith sat every night.
He slept there with a thick mat and a blanket. The alarm was set with a magic tool so that you could wake up and check every 5 minutes. There was no torture.
Now Roo knew who Griffith was waiting for.
It was clearly Oscar.
This was because Griffiths gaze beca sharper after hearing the news of the Hraesvelg Empire.
Roo was sick and tired of this situation. Oscar and Griffith, who shed their eyes at each other every ti they t, were annoying.
Oh, so annoying. You guys are crazy. Really.
Lets get along well. Silly guys.
Roo felt a rush of irritation with drowsiness. He lay down covering his shoulders with a thick blanket.
Should I go to Lellias room and ask her to put him to sleep? Rather, it would be safer and warr.
It was ti for Roo to think that it was so fruitless.
Crunch
Roo and Griffiths eyes were on the window felt from one side.
Soone was coming this way. It must have been heading toward the window of Lelias room.
However, it was Kalix who appeared among the bushes.
?
When he saw the two, Kalix opened his eyes wide as if it was unexpected to see them here.
He stared alternately at Griffith and Roo. When he saw Roo covered in a blanket, he looked especially like he was looking at a crazy man.
Roo resented the gaze.
He couldnt believe he was looking at him like that! His pride was very hurt.
What are you doing? Are you camping? Why?
Kalix, who asked like that, sounded and looked like he was going to see all the stupid people.
What are you doing here?
When Roo asked annoyingly, Kalix showed him a basket full of things.
There were foods in a large basket.
Im hungry. Im going to eat it with the captain.
What? Why are you hungry at this hour?
I had a little dinner.
If Roos mory was correct, Kalix has emptied several plates of steak.
However, Kalix turned around with a calm face. He was about to climb the window right away.
It was then.
Wait a minute.
Griffith said as if to stop quietly.
At that mont, Roo, as well as Kalix, who was about to climb the window, stopped.
This was because two people also felt soones footsteps at the sa ti as Griffith.
Soon, soone appeared in the dark.
It was Oscar.
