Chapter 30 (2/2)

My expression softened with the strength of s

“However, I’ My kind brother will surely suffer from worry, because he treasures me and Johan a lot”

The night the royal palace was attacked, I had believed him to be able to use me for his purpose

He needed to be able to draw a line between the two; it was not acapable ofthe princess fulfill her duties I myself wished to be useful, so there was no need for him to feel indebted to me

And yet, Chris had protected me the way an older brother would his little sister He had spoiled ed me close

Even though he was probably the sa anyone to spoil him

Like hell I’d be able to tell someone like that to, Use me for what you need

“My real intention is, very simply, commonplace selfishness”

I was still content to be a child

I’ll stay his spoiled little sister

Until my brother does not “use” me, and places his confidence in and “trust” in me

“I have no desire to be used by my brother, and I don’t want to let him use me, either”

“…………”

Sir Leonhard stared at e Only the sound of the wheels hitting the ground was audible, but it wasn’t unpleasant

How much time has passed, I wondered

Sir Leonhard sighed briefly and smiled

He wasn’t upset with eously selfish reasons, and only looked upon me kindly

“I understand If it is as you have you said, this conversation will go no farther than us”

“Sir Leon…thank you very much”

“Not at all”

It is not soive thanks for, he smiled wryly

The next second, his expression became serious, and he bowed his head

“I am merely your lowly servant, but I have overstepped ive me”

It was apology that would accept nothing but a clear explanation of what he thought of himself

I also liked this side of hi pushed away, so I felt lonely

If I wasn’t the princess, would he beto be at ease with me? I wondered

But if that were the case, he wouldn’t be able to protect me like this

“Your Royal Highness? What is the matter?”

“…………”

If I thought about it, his interactions with the Priestess was because she was the Priestess

He didn’t just pamper her He scolded her, and at times, he cheered her on as well He called her na hand of his

How nice… It wasn’t fair

I also want that big hand to patsay to ht poke and affectionately say, There’s no helping you

“Sorry It’s nothing”

But, none of it was possible As the princess, I had my limits, and it was a wish that could never come true

A whi for the moon

It was saddening, but that was reality

There was no use hoping, so I couldn’t bring trouble to Sir Leonhard again

I made up my mind, and smiled at him to put him at ease, but…

“Your Royal Highness”

“Um…y-yes?”

“It does not appear to be nothing”

Sir Leonhard wasn’t deceived at all

On the contrary…he looked a little angry Was it just ination?
