Chapter 6 (1/2)

I woke up with a hearty yawn

I dare say, Isleep I’ve had in ages And it’s been quite awhile since I’ve dreamt about the past

Back then, I used to slip away fro monsters My mischievous escapades came to an end once I arrived at the Royal Capital It was an unfair exchangeー’ーbut rather than falter in my studies, I put forth my most assiduous effort in each one as if I was on the battlefield Before I knew it, word about the Prince’sdistinguished fiancée flourished aeneral populace

The deliberate emphasis on his last tords made me freeze

I’ve said oodbyes’ to all my friends in the Royal Capital It’s inconceivable that Prince Leon would want to exchange partings with his for

I tilted hed deeply and said

「Lillina Did you at least give your regards to Queen Rachel? 」
