Chapter 26 (1/2)

“…………”

Wha-what should I do…?

Soed Sir Leonhard

Now that I’ve just come back to my senses and realized what sort of situation I’ out in a dripping cold sweat

I couldn’t hold back ed him, but was that okay or not okay? Which was it?

Depending on the situation and the perspective, would I be charged with the cri on another person without their consent? No, if I considered the difference in our statuses, it probably was sexual harassment…

I wasn’t flat out rejected, so I decided it was probably within the bounds of as acceptable, but I was being quick to jump to conclusions Even if he was reluctant, the princess couldn’t just be pushed away, could she?

If I can think that far ahead, then I need to let go iht moment to break away Now? Maybe now?! Someone, please do a countdown! From three…no, my heart needs to prepare itself, so from ten, please

“Your Royal Highness…?”

“Eeee—!”

I’d been trying to sort the chaotic activity in inary friend for a favor when Sir Leonhard’s soft whisper broughtdown to reality

Shocked out of my reverie, I made a weird sound and jumped back

Witness to my eccentric behavior, Sir Leonhard stared at me in amazement

Ugh, even if I say it myself, I did thinkI wanted to die

I knew heat was slowly but steadily gathering in my face Would I become as red as a tomato?

I hadn’t wanted to display any raceful behavior, but it had been out of my control

Sir Leonhard blinked several tihed out of him

Unintentionally, it seehter

But it was still eun to tear up, so he covered his ht hand and cleared his throat

“Begging pardon…”

Ugh Someone, please bury me deep…

“I’ed you as well I really sorry for all the trouble I’ve caused, Sir Olsein”

Resistingmy head

“Please, do not call yourself a bother Personally, I want you to rely on me more”

“So you did not…find it disagreeable?”

“Most certainly not,” he said, nodding

Encouraged by his positive response, I tried asking about what had been troubling me the most, and he swept away my worries without pause as soon as I posed the question to him

I’lad

It didn’t seehed in relief

“However…Your Royal Highness?”

“Uhm…what is it?”

Although I felt a ful glance at me

Huh? Maybe it wasn’t okay after all? And it became sexual harassment?

My expression froze, but Sir Leonhard s fun, eyes like those of a child up to no good

“Perhaps, princess, it is time you called me Leon”
