Chapter 126.1

As if it was unexpected, my brother’s eyes widened and only the eyeballs moved.

“Who’s following you? Who?!”

“There’s someone, but you should rest more.”

“Ah, resting is resting, but please stay with me, Bebe.”

At this point, it was worth stepping down, but my brother held my arm and whined. It was nice to have someone go this far and beg for me, but not now.

“Brother, it’s not attractive to be so clingy.”

“What?”

“This is exactly like my dad.”

“Am I not charming?”

My brother, whose cheeks have become very thin, trembled his lips as if he had suffered these few days.

“Huh?”

“Really?”

“Yes!”

“How shocking. There’s no man in the world as charming as me!”

I untied my brother’s fingers one by one.

“Not at all! I like everything about you, but I hope you don’t get obsessed! Then your charm will overflow!”

“That’s right. My brother is full of charm.”

I heard that freedom is an illusion, and I guess that phrase is used at times like this. How can it be that you’re full of charm when you say not to be obsessed?

“Ah, yes.”

“Why? Is it wrong? Bebe’s expression is very strange.”

It suddenly occurred to me that I should have said more.

“…No. Anyways, I’m going.”

“Ah, I see. I’ll let you go this time. But do you really have to go?”

Well, I was going to say something else, but it was obvious he was going to cling onto me, so I nodded and left.

Perhaps it was mentioned in advance, but several other knights followed me in place of Theo.

I didn’t care if they followed me or not, because I had to go find that person who had been following me.

“Where are you going?”

It was around that time when the knight walking behind me talked.

“Huh?”

“You kept going to the same place over and over again. Are you lost…? I hear you get easily lost…”

“Oh, no!”

“But it’s already been 30 minutes.”

That’s why my legs hurt!

“It’s nothing!”

“I see… but Cecilia and Theo are always worried that you would get lost.”

“…No I don’t!”

“I see. I guess they’ve been worrying too much. Then I guess I was worried for nothing. I will follow you without a word.”

At those words, I mumbled for a while and moved my feet again.

But the knight was perfectly right. I was still wandering and forgot where I was going. Even when I came to my brother’s room, it wasn’t difficult because Theo subtly showed me the way, but this time, it was too difficult.

Pretending to take a look around, I slowly turned my head.

“W-Well, you know.”

“Huh?”

“…Uh, I mean, it’s not because I don’t know the way.”

“Of course, you know everything.”

It’s not like I keep getting lost because I’m stupid or anything. I wanted to make some form of excuse that this was because I was always in my room.

“Where is Dad’s office? Heh, it’s my first time coming here so I’m just confused!”

At that moment, the knight’s face strangely changed. The corner of his mouth twitched. It really was a strange expression.

“This way. Let me guide you. Oh, my name is Rickel.”

“No, I’ll show you around. I’ve always wanted to be by her side.”

“I said it first, Tommy. I will take care of the lady.”

The two quarreled and walked out in front of each other. In any case, there was no change in who was guiding the way, so I followed them for a long time.

I heard all kinds of things, such as being called a cute chick fluttering every time I walk, even though I don’t look like that at all.

‘Are you praising me…?’

The people of the Grand Duchy have been hostile to me. However, it felt like the knights liked me. But I still don’t understand them.

‘Weird.’

I didn’t think that Harris’s magic could break that easily. That said, I don’t think my dad would have let the knights be like that.

Meanwhile, the knights stopped walking when they arrived at the office.

“Ah, yes…”
