Chapter 8 (2/2)

I don’t know who’s decision is it that has chosen me to be the Spirit Princess, but until the ceremony concludes, the high officials of the church and the people involved will have to deal with the events. I’ll take this task from the capital and until it’s officially announced, I’ll have to attend the audience with the Spirit Queen safely.

Since I’m the Spirit Princess, I hope I won’t be targeted in this kidnapping cases.

“Even so, you’ll never know when will get involve in an accident. For a girl from the country side, the capital is such a dangerous place!”

“C, Country girl….”

“That’s the reason Reiss is also there. I came here after knowing Reiss is coming, I came because I’m worried about Suria-chan.”

Uncle Allan acted as a parent for Reiss in place of his actual parents, it seemed that he just briefly showed his face to uncle to greet him and told him a little about the details about his coming. And then came to me to spun those sharp words unto me.

As for Rinse, she happen to see Riess coming to my house and when she came, she happen to came across Uncle Allan so they came here together.

“Well then, how was Reiss?”

“How was he……”

“It’s been a while since he met Suria-chan so what kind of att.i.tude did he showed you…”

I wonder if I should tell Uncle Allan what was his att.i.tude towards me, and he might feel bad about it. But brooding over it for a long time is not good.

“Reiss told me “It’s not by my will that I became your Knight Escort“, “I don’t want to have anything to do with you more that what’s intended” and “You’re a disappointment as a Spirit Princess“, something like those. The first thing he told me was “You’re as really lacking elegance as always“. ”

I remembereed what that person have told me, and when I said to them, “His att.i.tude towards me is the worst”, Uncle Allan rubbed his temple and then held his head down. And as if showing his emotion he said the words “He’s really done it”.

While Rinse scratch her hair madly and pulling it saying “What’s with that! Saying such rude words!”.

“Seriously, why was that guy showing such kind of behaviour at Suria-chan…… Up until now, I still don’t know. I’m sorry, Suria-chan…”

“Uncle Allan did nothing wrong, there is no need to apologize. After all, I’ll be with him only until my task as the Spirit Princess in the ceremony is over. After it ends, we won’t be seeing each other again.”

I then kept my lips shut, I felt a slight pain in my chest, but I hid those painful thoughts behind and said so bitterly. Uncle Allan’s usual gentle looking face distorted and turned into a bitter expression.

……. Don’t make such a face, Uncle Allan.

“But, on the way back, Reiss,  that guy……. It’s nothing, sorry.”

Somehow he said something but Uncle Allan swallowed those words back. I was a little worried about what he was about to say, but I don’t feel like forcing it, and then I noticed that I haven’t served them tea yet so I stood up and headed to the kitchen.
