87 A bright god or a sunny next door guy? (2/2)
But contrary to my thoughts not only he seemed panicked he even grabbed my hand.
”Cecile you must believe me! I really didn't know they would endanger anyone's life... well besides the royals. But if I ever knew they would try to cause so much damage to the population or you, I would never, ever, let them proceed”
He took a breath to calm down.
”I brought gifts with me. They are for you and the families of your guards... I know it cannot even begin to match your loss, but I hope that you can see our. No. My sincerity in expressing my apologies”
Although not entirely convinced, I believe 50/50 in his statement. I will probably have to order Carl to investigate the Empire side further.
”What about the culprit?”
The man opened a big smile.
”I sent him to the wastelands!”
I swear to you that right now in front of me the crown prince transform himself in a big dog shaking his tail for praise. Just too cute!
Cough! Cecile get a grip!
I retracted my hand that was moving by itself to pat his head.
Standard smile.
”Thank you Your Highness. I will convey later to the families the news”
”Hm-Eh- Ceci- I”
The prince became flustered and seemed uncomfortable.
”Is there a problem your highness? I would do my best to solve for you”
The prince scratch his head with an embarrassed look.
”Cecile, won't you calm me big brother Eric like when we were younger?”
He downcast his eyes and had a blush in his cheeks and ears.
100000000 crit in my heart.
Oh. My. Gosh.
What is this absolutely cute creature in front of me???
I think my noble mask is crumbling and the evil big sis tendency is coming. Cecile baby hang in there.
Shakes my head to deny my thoughts and his request.
”That's not very appropriate”
”T-then how about Eric? Surely you can right? For the old times sake”
I paused a bit and opened my mouth.
”Yes, Eric. You can call me Ceci, if you would like to”
Eric opened a big smile that almost made me blind as if I had given him the world and a bit more.
”Ceci”
”Yes”
”Ceci”
”Hm”
”Ceci”
”...”
I think I just turn the crown prince from the neighbor country silly.
