W-what should I do …?
Ten strange minutes have passed since I hugged Sir Leonhard.
Now that I had just come to my senses and realized what kind of situation I was in, and how shameless I was, I broke out in a cold sweat.
I couldn't hold back my emotions and embrace her, but was it okay or not? Which one is that?
Depending on the situation and his point of view, will I be charged with the crime of a grocery merchant for jumping to someone else without their consent? No, if I consider the difference in our status, it might be sexual harassment …
I was not rejected outright, so I decided it was possible within the limits of what was acceptable, but I quickly jumped to conclusions. Even if she was reluctant, the princess could not be pushed just like that, right?
If I can think that far, then I should leave immediately. It was my thought, but I couldn't find the right moment to break away. Now then? Maybe now?! Someone, please do a countdown! From three .. no, my heart needs to prepare itself, so from ten, please.
"Your Majesty…?"
"Eeee—!"
I've been trying to sort through the chaotic activity in my head, begging for the help of an imaginary friend when Sir Leonhard's gentle whisper made me fall into reality.
Shocked at my daydream, I made a strange sound and jumped back.
Witnessing my eccentric behavior, Sir Leonhard looked at me in amazement.
Ugh, even if I say it myself, I think my sudden movements are very similar to frogs. I want to die.
I know the heat slowly but constantly gathering on my face. Will I be as red as a tomato?
I didn't want to display more embarrassing behavior, but it was already out of my control.
Sir Leonhard blinked a few times from what he saw, then laughed out of it.
It seemed, unintentionally, and I could not feel the malice in his laughter.
But it's still embarrassing. She realized I was starting to cry, so she covered her mouth with her right hand and cleared her throat.
"I'm sorry …"
Ugh. Someone, please bury me deeply …
"I'm sorry too . In addition to losing my composure, I also hugged you. I'm really sorry for all the trouble I caused, Sir Olsein. ”
Rejecting my desire to run away in embarrassment, I lowered my head.
"Please, don't call yourself a hassle. Personally, I want you to rely on me more. ”
"So you don't .. feel it's not fun?"
"Of course not" he said while nodding.
Encouraged by her positive response, I tried asking about what was bothering me the most, and she removed my worries without pause once I asked her a question.
I am very happy .
It seemed like she didn't hate him, so I let out a sigh of relief.
"Yet ... Your Majesty?"
"Uhm ... What is this?"
Although I felt a moment of relief, I felt disappointed to find him glancing at me.
Huh huh? Maybe it's not good? And it becomes sexual harassment?
My expression froze, but Sir Leonhard smiled as if he was having fun, his eyes like a bad child.
"Perhaps, princess, it's time you called me Leon. ”
"!!"
I was reminded of all the times I behaved shamelessly.
"I-it .. umm, yeah …"
Immediately, a voice was given to my longing; a desire made itself apparent on my face. In my mind, I always called him that.
I needed to avoid that question, but all the ideas that came to my mind were completely useless. I would be more inclined to make a full confession of my crimes than excuses.
Whatever the case may be, I cannot recover my images. Coming to my conclusion, I gulped and took a deep breath.
"May I ... call you that?" I asked timidly, silently looking at him. I waited for his answer, trying to keep the pressure of my heart beating from restrained anxiety.
In any case, if I can't find a way out, then I decide to enjoy the opportunity. I mean, only my older brother was invited to call her that, that's not fair! I want to call him too.
"Of course" he said, smiling at me.
"Te ... thank you very much …!"
Wooooohoooooo !! Even though I pumped my fist inside, I was careful not to show any changes outside. Not only was my attitude unsuitable for a princess, but I was also weak towards her charm.
“It's a small problem, you don't need to thank me. ”
His eyes smiled as he looked at me, as if he saw something pleasing the eyes of — animals or children, perhaps.
It seems my true character has not been revealed.
"Then .. Mr. Leon. ”
I tested his name again. My voice was a little shaky from nervousness.
I wanted to have a casual chat with him forever, but time was limited. Christof distanced Klaus, so I have to take a risk now.
"Will you listen to my story?"
Sir Leon's eyes opened wide, and he wiped the smile off his face.
"Yes," he said, nodding.
His low voice and serious expression made me nervous.
I gathered my resolve, and began to tell him my story.
“When I was very young, I dreamed. ”
"Dreams?"
I nodded .
“It was a typical dream, from a reality that did not change too much. With familiar scenes, and familiar characters .. but, I was filled with a bit of discomfort. The people I kept meeting were a little older. ”
Sir Leonhard's breath rose, and he whispered in a hoarse voice, "Vision of the future …"
"It's not so grand. I can't believe I've been given heavenly powers. However, the dreams I had for that short period of time were just different, somehow .. And I could find no evidence to prove that I made too much out of nothing. ”
There was obviously a reluctance to lie on my side.
However, to reveal the whole truth would be too great a risk.
I don't know if he would believe me if I told him that I had reincarnated with memories from my past life, but put that aside, she said, what is even harder to explain is perhaps the fact that we are inside the game world .
In a world without a single TV, I don't think I can understand things called "video games". It was something I should have never tried to do in the first place.
If he knew the world he lived in had been artificially created, then he would definitely be shocked no matter how strong a character he had. In addition, there is still no evidence that this world is the same as the one in "Welcome to the Reverse World". It could be a very similar parallel universe, which I know.
Right now, the important thing is not that I failed to reveal everything.
I brought Sir Leonhard into my confidence, gave him what knowledge I had, to avoid future events.
So Sir Leonhard will be my ally.
