"Rosemarie's daughter ?!"
I stood up from my chair with a clatter, and turned around in panic.
Rose, you fool … !!
I don't think about the possibility of Hilde being killed at all. On top of all being aware of their plans, once he was deemed useless, there was no way he would be left in peace!
"Where-"
Klaus chased after.
Hearing the commotion, the duo in the greenhouse stuck their heads out.
Seeing my terrible state, they immediately understood that something was wrong, and became worried.
"Wait, hey you, what's up ?!"
"Daughter?"
Lutz rushed over and shook my shoulder.
"What's going on? We won't understand if you don't tell us! ”Hin.
I considered his words.
He's right . If I don't tell them, they won't understand.
But I can't. I wanted to admit everything, but in this situation where I didn't even have someone to talk to, it was pure torture.
If I told them, the danger inflicted on them would only increase.
"I just remembered the urgent business …"
"Huh?"
"I'm sorry . I have to forgive myself for today. ”
Lutz seemed to want to say something, but I let go of her hand and smiled at her.
While enduring my impatience, I left, walking as usual. I felt their gazes on me, but I did not turn to look.
"Rosemarie's daughter, where are you headed?"
"Meet…"
Hilde, I replied in a small voice, and Klaus moved in front of me to block the way, a rough expression I had never seen before on his face.
"I can't agree. ”
Klaus is usually sweet to me. He gladly granted my request, and almost never denied or rejected me anything.
The only time that person will go straight against me is probably when I put myself in danger.
"Clause. ”
“I can't let you put yourself in danger. ”
Shoulders vibrate.
Klaus just said it was "dangerous".
"You know . ”
“…………”
In other words, Klaus knew Hilde was on a dangerous footing. If he knew, then it only made sense that his commander did as well.
However, why?
"… Aren't you protecting her?"
“He's not my responsibility. ”
You should've known, his eyes were denouncing me, a cold stone.
That was. Although it was highly likely that he would be killed, he was on the enemy's side. There's no way he'll protect her.
In the eyes of the kingdom, he was one of the traitors.
The enemy cannot risk their movements here being known. If they prioritized secrecy, then the girl would definitely be left behind. After all, they have different interests.
“…………”
THMP. THMP. My heart beats unpleasant.
I felt very suffocated, like running a marathon and not getting enough air. My blood was pumping rapidly throughout my body, and cold sweat was running down my back and neck.
With wide eyes, I almost fainted.
Right now, I'm trying to influence someone's fate.
The truth scares me more than anything.
Say, for example, Hilde did make a mistake.
Even if I'm not personally involved, it doesn't change the fact that I can do something.
I was almost forced to watch a 15-year-old girl die without lifting a finger to help.
The burden is heavy.
My voice came out from me with a hoarse voice. I automatically hugged myself, and saw my body trembling uncontrollably.
I am afraid . I'm scared, I'm scared, I'm scared …!
How do you make the right decision? As a princess? As humans?
Overcome with fear, I can't think at all. My mind was empty, and no one came to me.
Klaus remained silent until now, but when he saw how I was trembling in fear, his expression was gentle.
"Let's go back, Princess Rosemarie," he said, pointing out the path we've been on.
The soothing sound of his voice dispelled all my thoughts. I felt like it comforted me, gently covering my eyes and ears. No need to see something scary. No need to listen, it's comforting.
"What matters to you is the boy, and not the girl, right?"
"Claus …"
Guided by his voice, I turned around.
I took a step towards the greenhouse.
Shake up, I take a step. Then others, like dolls.
He's right . What I want to protect are my precious friends.
Their names are Lutz and Theo, and they're good kids. A girl I have never even talked to could not compare to them.
That's right, no matter how you try to pair it with a boy, his life doesn't suit them.
I'll listen to Klaus, and do what he says. I will choose them.
I can't believe I'd be so despicable.
“…………”
My legs stopped, and my head was embarrassed.
"Princess Rosemarie …?"
I stood still motionless. I couldn't even answer, her sobs almost leaked out.
I was so frustrated, so lost, I almost screamed.
I was afraid to go forward and come back.
I hate both choices. I don't want to go in any direction.
Wherever I go, I want to save them. I am greedy, selfish, and selfish. I want to help, to save everyone.
I never wanted to say there was nothing I could do.
I never wanted to let the troubles of someone dying end with a few words.
“…………”
I don't want to be someone like that … !!!
But, what should I do?
There is a limit to what I can do on my own with my insignificant strength. Even if I hold the title of a princess, I have no real say in anything. I can't affect anyone.
What am I supposed to do? My back is against the wall.
Is there something …
“If there is anything that worries you, please consider calling me for help before acting. ”
His voice memory is playing in my head.
"I will help you without fail. ”
"Master Leonhard," I whispered, sighing.
"Did something happen?" Klaus looked at me in wonder. It seems he hasn't heard me.
I turned around and walked away, pretending not to see the greenhouse.
"Rosemarie's daughter!" Klaus raised his voice.
He put himself on my path again, and I glared at him.
"Klaus, move. ”
"Even if it's on your orders, that's all I can't obey. ”
“I didn't look for him. ”
"Then, where to?"
“…………”
Impatience threatened to flee, I endured my growing annoyance, and opened my mouth to speak.
But, before I could say anything, a figure appeared behind Klaus and my focus shifted to it. Eyes widened, and I studied the tiny frame from head to toe.
Beautiful girl with straight and straight light yellow hair, as well as veridian green eyes. Even from a distance, I could tell her skin was pale. She chewed her lips, her hands folded in front, and the air she gave off was so tragic that it made you worry she would throw herself into the water.
The person who just appeared was the one who was at the center of my emotional upheaval. When I saw Hilde Kramer, I could not hide my vibes.
