Please avoid if you’re squeamish

[Yes, she means it You have been warned!]

After the chance , a few days later

I’ve been diligently attending to my studies, day in and out Now that I’ve y into self-i athering at the palace, business has been closed for the foreseeable future

I want to believe that I can live in peace for a few years until the Wizard and the Priest make their appearances

Johan is getting training fro He stands a little taller, and above all, he looks different now The spoiled crybaby who clung to me until recently has become more princely

As for Georg, so to her gossip about his progress The boy who used to look exactly like histo become more manly these days

Georg’s father and uncle are both taking a hand in training hientle the fundamentals of trade from Master Julius

Were the Eicher House to fall into ruin, Georg would still be able to support his wife and children, or so Lady E

“Ruin,” she says It’s really not as i it out to be

Anyway! Leaving aside the topic of Lady E into a decentRosemarie can be struck down by two

If the unknown Priestess chooses Johan or Georg, either I won’t be put under house arrest for the rest of e with the other

All right So far, so good!

“…………”

Once upon a time, I truly did believe that

I’ a history book that had been assigned tome history There were a lot of archaic phrases, and I was struggling through it while trying to hold a dictionary open in one hand, but…good grief, it was impossible to concentrate I can’t do it!

So, it seeht burn into the fabric of my clothes

“…………”

No, I’ too self-conscious I can feel it—that dreadful stare—and if I look over my books, for a split second, our eyes will meet

Could you get lost!!

I’ pain in my stomach It feels like I have an ulcer

The criuard knight, Klaus von Belmar

To tell you the truth, there is one guy I could have left alone in this world—the ht

With love interests lurking around every corner, it seee that there would be sos destroyed—but of course, there was a reason for that

In the game, when it came to Klaus, he was “unable to act once he left Rose—his inability to act alone—becomes an important premise in his story

In the current world, Klaus is 18 years old

He has short-cropped dark brown hair, a deeply chiseled face—strong eyebrows over beautiful deep green down-turned eyes, and a youthful s ladies His smile really suits hi to waste

The story of how Klaus came to be entrusted with Roseo It was too late to do anything for hi masochistic tendencies

Klaus was the second son to an earl His free-spirited older brother, who had played without a care of his surroundings, proved taxing to their more reserved parents This in turn influenced their choices in Klaus’s upbringing, not necessarily for the better

So that they wouldn’t repeat the saer son, Klaus had an extre flawlessly

But, no s he things he failed at He was only human, after all It was natural

Unable to see things so optimistically, he blamed himself more than necessary He tortured himself with criticis had become a desire for self-punishment

I don’t really understand what clicks in the mentality of a masochist, but in his case it was probably his perfectionisuish that did him in

As the years went by, his older brother began to settle down Once their parents realized this and started focusing on hidom’s chivalric order and left hoht

In other words, noI can’t destroy myself Unfortunately, when I think of the Priestess who could do so about it, I’m reminded that her whereabouts are still unknown And there’s an age gap between the two I guess it was iive up for now

There was another iet destroyed, and that’s because of…the twisted Master and Servant bond between Rosemarie and Klaus

You see, Rosemarie von Werfard loved Klaus
