50 – Finn and Lily (2)

* * * *

“Ah…this ring? Actually, it’s made by processing the hair ornament you gave me as a gift. But I thought it would be nice to receive a ring from someone I like…”

The only place where I could always be with Lily.

This was Lily’s answer when asked about the ring at the training ground for seniors in the Swordsmanship Department.

Lily looked at me with her eyes wide open, asking if I was mad at the gift she processed on her own.

The identity of the ring Lily was wearing was unbelievable,

It seemed that she had misunderstood her silently staring at the ring with a blank expression on her face because she hadn’t thought of it as a hair ornament I had gifted her.

I take a step while looking at the two amethysts that contain my anxiety.

that it’s not like that

It’s just that my eyesight is pathetic for not even noticing what I gave myself as a gift.

I was at a loss for words because you were so lovely that I even made a ring to remember me somehow.

One step to say so. And my hesitant steps just before I took another step.

It was because I suddenly thought that our relationship was originally like this.

Before she lost the empress, we were precious friends.

After she lost the empress, we were criminals who lowered our heads and victims who surrendered to anger.

After I faked death, she was a girl who bitterly rejected the feelings of a common prosecutor in order to keep her fidelity to the one she loved.

But what about now?

She is a girl who can charm even the king of a country with just a pitiful glance if she decides to do so.

A little haggard appearance would terribly stimulate a man’s lust, so two words are necessary.

Is this border-colored girl lacking in looks alone?

Even her lineage is noble, and she is no different from an imaginary woman that all men should have at least once.

If even the flowers that smelled like spring had bloomed around them, a girl with a beautiful off-white color would wither away in an instant.

A princess with the status of one person below all people,

Despite having that appearance and status, she couldn’t forget the one person she loved, and treated all the men who approached her coldly.

Now she is looking at me with sad eyes as if she has not been able to erase the anxiety of being abandoned from a corner of her heart.

From the room like the interrogation room to my training ground, look at those eyes that don’t try to escape from me even for a moment even though I came here to warm up before the tournament.

It would be nice if he showed even the slightest hint of an effort to escape, but he didn’t even seem to have such a thought in the first place.

It was a step that stopped when the thought had reached that point, and it was the words that were spit out.

I told her in a joking tone to bring this twisted relationship back to life.

“How can I tell Her Highness the Princess to do this or that?”

“Uh, huh? Finn…?”

As I blatantly avoided her gaze and sighed, she stretched out her thin hand toward me, knowing that she could not reach me.

He looked as if he wanted to ask why he was making such a face, so he told me the reason for my words and actions.

“Hasn’t Her Highness the Princess told you to stay true to yourself?”

The harsh words of rejection that she once said to me, precisely because she thought I wasn’t Finn.

“uh…?”

Her open lips tremble and show no signs of closing.

He said with an expression that he was hurt enough to show that he was unnatural.

I hope she notices that it’s acting and shows some reaction.

“But how can I argue with Her Highness of Right or Wrong? I have to know the fraction when it comes to commoners. I will keep the line. As Her Highness said.”

Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock.

“Wow, princess…?!”

Knock.

Lily began to make clear tears into beads and let them flow, so I hurriedly called her, but it seemed to be too late.

“Heeep…!”

It was because the tears had already begun to run down my cheeks in an endless stream.

“I, I’m sorry… I thought you weren’t Finn… Hehe, that’s what I said….”

this sick bastard.

What are you going to do if you scream? I should have made a joke too.

“I’m sorry for being cold…but…I couldn’t help it…”

Kwak. I wrapped my arms around her head and buried it in my chest, hoping that Lily would stop shedding those precious tears.

Lily still shakes her shoulders and cannot stop crying.

So he gently stroked her hair and whispered. I said I was too careless, and I didn’t mean what I just said.

“It was just a joke… It’s something the person who made the cry shouldn’t say it, but please stop crying, princess…”

“Hehe…! You’re not going to call me Princess Princess again…?”

“Of course. Which attendant in the world has uttered such an absurd remark. I’ll let this pin go and scold you.”

who is who Fuck me.

Knowing that Lily couldn’t see my expression, I let out a silent sigh as I crumpled my expression behind her back.

It was a sigh that I let out because the situation I was worried about had happened.

In the first place, I had no intention of exposing the fact that I was Finn to her for the rest of my life.

Even if Lily realized later that I had sacrificed so much for my life,

In my opinion, it was because there was a judgment that there would be no good in exposing the fact at the point when I had built up a lot of relationships with Berry.

What kind of character is her character?

It is very dependent on the object that is the center of gravity, and it shows an obsessive tendency.

But to her, even revealing the fact that I, who became Berry, was Finn when I became her new focal point?

Isn’t it patting and comforting to give you strength to overcome what happened with Finn in the past?

Then she simply becomes my pet.

She would become a woman who only looked at me all day, barking if I barked, and crawling if I screamed. like a slave… No, the pet itself, less than a true slave.

Some, some few, may like such a woman.

The beautiful and powerful person at will… It’s not a fantasy you can’t understand.

But that kind of relationship, even if I give it to you, I don’t eat it. what kind of shit is that

Where the hell is love and consideration in that relationship? I don’t think it’s a romantic relationship that a normal human being can pursue.

In any case, in conclusion, isn’t it enough if the two of you are in love, and if both of you are satisfied, there is no problem.

Thinking so, he wants to see a woman who has a dependent tendency to be manipulated here and there, to give orders, and to see her tremble at her words.

Wanting a girl who can open her mouth and fuck her whenever she wants… It’s just a matter of taste, at least I shook my head at the fact that I don’t belong to it.

I don’t want Lily to be my pet or slave woman.

I just want a life partner to share love with and walk the road with me.

That’s why I thought I wouldn’t let Lily know that I was Finn for the rest of my life, and I was planning to find an artifact that would permanently change my appearance for him… .

Seeing her now trembling, unable to grasp even this blatant joke, a desolate sigh came out.

The joke I spit out to evoke my relationship with the girl who keeps looking at me,

Conversely, the fact that this relationship was fixed further deepened my concerns.

The moment you take even the slightest wrong step, the reversed master and servant are permanently confirmed.

Of course, if I tread carefully, I could have a very normal relationship with her, but… I do not believe in human meticulousness.

It was 100% certain that a mother like me would make a mistake somewhere, and because of that, you would see Lily tremble like a trauma.

So, in order to get this distorted relationship back on the normal track, it would be the best decision to use any number right now.

The important point is to relieve the guilt she has on me and the anxiety that I might abandon her again.

Lily, who has stopped crying, is still in my arms, holding my collar with trembling hands.

Sararak.

That time when I, too, don’t know what to do, and caress her silky hair, immersed in worry.

smart-

Along with the sound of knocking, the familiar voice of an intruder was heard.

“Berry-sama, the preparations for the tournament are over. This final match was held outdoors due to the collapse of the main arena, so I would appreciate it if you could come out to the ground in front of the main building as soon as the preparations are finished.”

As always, Grace showed up at the perfect timing.

But this time, even I didn’t know what to say to Lily, so it was a good excuse.

“Princess, how about heading to the main building first?”

“That, that’s how it should be… yes…”

Even though I removed her face from my arms, Lily still couldn’t bear to let go of her collar.

Lily’s eyes were still filled with all sorts of anxiety, so she said while stroking her hair to soothe her.

“Princess.”

“Why…Fin?”

“This final is an event-type match, so there was a notice that the original weapon could be used, right?”

“right…?”

“Then, this attendant will make sure that the princess can see the brightly shining full moon standing in the most special seat. How is it, aren’t you looking forward to it?”

When I said that with a very confident smile, Lily pointed out the window and told me.

“Now…it’s broad daylight?”

Lily asks what kind of moon she intends to show in broad daylight.

It wasn’t something I did, but to her, it must have been something I did.

“I am the one who made it possible to even raise the brilliant sun in the night sky to protect the princess, but if the princess promises to smile, will I not be able to think of a single moon in broad daylight?”

If it’s for you, I’ll make the sun rise in the night sky and pick the moon that doesn’t exist.
