“Sir Leonhard…?”

I said, confused as to why he would grab my hands so suddenly

“Princess, I' before his voice trailed off The rest of the words had disappeared and never materialised into sound With wrinkles between his brows, Sir Leonhard desperately searched for the right words

But in the end, when nothing caave up and went back to his usual self He turned his eyes downcast and slightly shook his head

When I saw that, I thought he was trying to comfort me He cares for me and for my tattered hands

You're so kind

It's not even your fault

“It's okay Actually, I didn't give it ht in the first place… I truly don't care, but it's a pity that I don't, isn't it?”

I smiled as I said so But soon after that, I knew I had failed

I wanted hi, it would surely put soht spot

“That's not true!”

“…?”

Leonhard denied me, his voice raised My body stiffened up fro hed and backed down

“I'm terribly sorry… I didn't intend to scare you”

Leonhard squeezed out his voice filled with regret

I bit my lips and shook my head in reply I, too, didn't want you to make a face like that

“…”

Silence fell upon the rooh,' Leonhard exhaled with a sain, his eyes full of self- relaxed hed as we faced each other

“I a you, I ended upyou anxious instead If this is how it is, then I should've been honest fro …Princess”

“Yes?”

“If you feel that my words hurt you, even if it's just a little, can you please tell ht away?”

“Yes”

When I obediently nodded, Sir Leonhard looked h I' to whatever you do

Leonhard held up my left hand and touched on a wound on my thumb

“…This is a new scar, isn't it?”

“Uies but my mind was somewhere else”

“And this one?”

He traced a large scar running through inally quite shallow and had now mostly disappeared

“Ah, that one was froredients and the leaves were quite sharp”

“Is this… a burn ht to a reddish ht hand, near the wrist

“I was stirring ot on me But it really was just a little”

Leonhard traced each scar with his fingers as he confirmed each of them one by one

He had a look of worry on his face the whole ti

“Princess I do not wish for you to be hurt”
