[Episode 75]
“You’re all right… Enosh.”
“Whose body is this, can die easily? of course it’s okay Well… I’ve gotten some assassination threats from the Ethams since you fell.”
I looked at Enosh for a long time, pretending not to know what was going on behind the scenes.
I held him tightly in my arms and bit my lip.
“I’m glad…”
I’m glad he was safe.
It was fortunate that my careless step did not end with mere torture of hope.
“Hey are you crying?”
“I don’t cry.”
sniff
I buried my face in Enosh’s chest some more.
“Are you crying?”
“It’s a runny nose.”
“This dough dares to be used as a handkerchief to blow the nose of the imperial family.”
Even so, Enosh did not easily let go of the arm that embraced me.
I sniffled with my face buried for a while, then looked up and Enosh burst into laughter and giggled.
“what…!”
“Hey, you are really ugly dough.”
“…you…!”
I glared at Enosh and kept my mouth shut.
‘He’s so damn handsome…’
AC.
There wasn’t really anything to point out. Sharp eyes curled round.
“If the greetings are over, won’t you give me a chance, Your Highness?”
“Oh yes.”
Enosh gave me a hug and sat down next to me. When I raised my head, a familiar girl was sitting in front of me.
“It’s been a while, Eirin.”
“…Lily sister?”
Looking at her blooming more splendidly, I involuntarily opened my mouth.
“I miss you…”
I muttered reflexively, and Lillian burst into laughter. I opened my mouth involuntarily at the sound of laughter that sounded like clear bells resonating.
‘Even if she’s a villain, she’d be cool…’
Lillian, with gorgeous red hair, had a much brighter face than the last time I saw her.
“I missed you, Eirin.”
Lillian stretched out her arms and took me into her arms.
“Eirin.”
“yes?”
She opened her mouth as she held me in her arms.
“Thank you for saving His Highness the prince.”
“….”
“Thank you for putting your head together and constantly thinking about it.”
“sister?”
“Thank you for coming back like this.”
I was just a little mesmerized by her heartfelt and friendly voice and held her in her arms.
“Thanks to the flowers Eirin made, Her Highness woke up safely.”
“Yeah, I’m glad.”
As I smiled widely, Lillian looked at me blankly, then sighed and looked up.
“Your Highness, first of all, I would like a daughter like Eirin.”
“You say how pretty this dough is…”
Enosh said, lifting my back from Lillian’s arms.
“…”
“No, it’s pretty. It’s pretty. I also like all children who say I like Young-ae. It would be nice to adopt Dough and raise it.”
Lillian’s fierce gaze immediately turned his tail, and Enosh pretended to tease me and said,
“Hey, I’m ten years old?”
“Yes, yes, little dough.”
Enosh smiled and rubbed my hair.
“hey.”
“why?”
“love.”
“…yes?”
Even after I said it, Enosh seemed embarrassed to return me to Lillian’s arms.
“Erin, I love you too.”
“…yes?”
why are you both here
When I looked embarrassed and embarrassed, Lillian also rubbed my cheek with the palm of her hand, feeling a little embarrassed.
“…Eirin says that you need to give a lot of love to grow up.”
“Ah…”
“I like cute Eirin, but I like Eirin my age better. Then we can invite them to the tea party.”
The last time I remember Enosh was twelve and Lillian was ten.
So now Enosh would be seventeen and Lillian fifteen.
‘Enosh is a bit too old to say…’
I glanced at Enosh.
Yeah, he’s a bit of an adult now.
“Are your eyes a bit disrespectful?”
“It’s not?”
“No, that’s right.”
“It’s not?”
“That’s right, this stupid dough… porridge is cute too.”
Enosh, who had been acting childishly, quickly changed his words. Lillian’s expression seemed to be very fierce.
“Oh, come to think of it, Momma and Mom said they had something to give you.”
“Your Majesty the Emperor?”
“Yeah, stop by before going back to the duchy.”
“okay.”
I nodded and he glanced behind me.
“It’s been a while since Lady Sharnet.”
“It’s been a while, Your Highness the Prince. Lady Daisy.”
“So, you came as a guardian today? I thought Erno Etam was coming.”
“Because I won the lottery.”
Despite the belated interest, Sharnet smiled softly and said,
“Heh, it seems there were a lot of applicants, right?”
“Your Excellency the Duke… No, the Duke of the previous war also applied.”
“…before? Duke Etham really did that nonsense.”
Enosh laughed as if it was absurd.
No, just how far did the rumors that only I don’t know spread?
‘Wasn’t I the only one who didn’t know I was going to be the head of household?’
I don’t know.
Because I was sleeping soundly. I don’t know why I slept so long.
‘Growing Dragon…’
Me?
It was true that it was still absurd.
We sat down and chatted about various things over tea as before.
They talked about things like the world had changed and that they would get married when Lillian had her coming-of-age ceremony sometime in the next year.
“By the way, Dough, have you not met Lucillion yet?”
“Ah Lucillion….”
I didn’t notice because I was so distracted when I came back, but Lucillion was there too.
‘Did you go back home?’
Since the temple was his home and the high priest of the future, he thought he might have already returned.
“huh.”
Although it was a little strange that he didn’t have the person I always chased after, I also knew that I would never be able to be with them for the rest of my life.
“Maybe he went home?”
“house? Do you mean a temple? They didn’t seem like they wanted to go back there… but I guess I haven’t seen them in 12 years.”
Enosh said, crossing her arms.
‘Still, Lucillion…’
It seemed like they had really become friends in the meantime. As I nodded in a somewhat happy mood, Enosh distorted her face.
“Hey, what else were you thinking?”
“Hmm, you think Lucillion and Enosh became friends?”
“Huh, what’s wrong with that friend who ate the rolled rice…”
“I said that, but I got everything Sir Lucillion needed.”
“aha.”
Anyway, the prince behaves like a tsundere with only this mouth.
I looked at him with sullen eyes and nodded.
“Lillian!”
“why?”
“No, when did I say that…”
“Am I wrong, Your Highness?”
“It’s not like that…”
But the bird’s advantage has changed a lot without seeing it. Lillian could be seen sitting on top of Enosh.
Enosh looked back and forth between me and Lillian, then sighed briefly and sat back on the sofa.
“Coming to think of it, the last relic I brought was a heavyweight… It might have been a deal to go back into the temple.”
“A relic?”
I didn’t know what he was talking about, so when I asked back, Enosh gave me a puzzled look.
“Do you know how many Holy Relics or Holy Stones you absorbed while you were asleep?”
“A holy stone?”
If it was a holy stone, wasn’t it a stone that contained an energy that contradicted the magic that the clergy created?
Unlike mana stones that fly in nature, Holy Stones were stones with holy power that could only be made by priests or grown on the corpses of priests.
“Isn’t it amazing that you survived so long without eating anything?”
“…”
I hadn’t even thought of that.
I just thought I wasn’t hungry because I was in a fantasy world.
As I quietly opened my mouth, Enosh laughed as if she had collapsed.
“It looks like the Etam family hasn’t told you anything yet.”
Enosh lightly bit the tip of her lips as if a little embarrassed.
“It’s a fact that I found out by searching through the ancient texts within the imperial castle, but magic and holy power are needed to grow a dragon in its growth period.”
“…huh.”
“According to the literature, holy power is the best prey, but actually there are not many priests, and there are not many priests who have surplus holy power.”
Enosh explained very slowly, as if contemplating words.
“That’s why it’s difficult to continuously supply holy power. Mana is a substitute for that.”
As I nodded, Lillian, who was by my side, opened her mouth.
“So Lord Lucillion made the Holy Stone.”
“But the Holy Stone…”
It wasn’t something that could be done by inserting holy power into any stone unless it grew from the priest’s body.
A special stone called ‘vacant stone’ was needed, but this stone had a limited number of places to come out, and as far as I know, the person who owned the mine was the current minister.
“You were dangerous at first because you didn’t know anything.”
“….”
“The Etam family and Erno Etam came and threatened to open the imperial library to Obama, and they locked themselves away for several days.”
Enosh shrugged as if telling a funny story.
“I even called in all the local archaeologists to decipher the ancient texts.”
“…”
I was a little taken aback by the unexpected words.
