287 the return of a princess (1/2)

Anne received the letter from me and retired to the drawing room.

I'm going to bed too: ......

I've taken a good amount of time, so even if I go to bed now, I may not be able to sleep much.

However, one of the lessons I learned in the previous world is to sleep for an hour when you can. I tried to open the door of my room.

As I put my hand on the door, I felt a presence and stopped. A hallway leading to the family room. I see a figure there.

”I'm sorry, did I wake you?

No.

No,” I answered in a small voice, and she quietly approached me.

Did you hear me?

”Yes.

She replies in a low voice. I wonder what she thought. As I was wondering if I should ask her, the answer came from her.

You have no intention of leaving, do you, Mr. Eizo?

Yes, I do. Well, it's a home I've come to.

Her voice was thin. It's a characteristic of hers. She's not a very talkative person, so she doesn't usually come out, but she's not a quiet person either.

”What if I asked you to come live with me in the Elven Forest?

”...... Yes. That's a very tempting offer.

Really?

Really? - Enough to make me think that might be a good idea.

When I said this with a slightly annoyed look on my face, she - Liddy - put her hand on my chest. She put her hand on my chest, and it was warm as if she had cut it into the shape of a hand.
