124 Episode 20: The Responsibility to Save (2/2)

The air gets heavier and heavier.... If there really wasn't any fence, I think Yufi would fly off to the Empire in anger. That's all Uffi is seriously angry with, and he tries to fulfill my wish until he suppresses it.

I appreciate it, but at the same time, I'm sorry. That you prioritized my desire to save over my feelings. And take responsibility for me, and I think it was Ufi's message to say.

You shouldn't hold it too much. Even I don't want to reach out to people indiscriminately. I know that people who are trying to use themselves have to be identified. That's why I want you not to do that inadvertently, Yufi.

”... I want to keep Priscilla aside. Of course, this time, it makes me reflect. On top of that, I'd like to accompany you if you want to go that way when negotiating with the Aylene Empire.”

”... Her Royal Highness Sister Wang...?

”Priscilla said it was a dream. Wow, so much pain, so much grief, so much so that I think I can die if it comes true. That's how much I want to make it happen. Because I'm so sad that I think it's good to die. So if it's going to happen beside me, I want to make it happen for you. That's all I appreciate about Priscilla. As much as I regret being betrayed, I'd like to start all over again.”

I stare straight back at Uffi and tell him. Uffi also sighed deeply after staring at each other for a while as he shifted his gaze to me.

Ilia sighs in a similar manner to Yufi, and looks at me with a bitter smile, as Raini also gave up.

”... is that good? How can that be... and is Her Majesty really good too?

”It's not good. That's why I said I wouldn't tolerate it the second time. Still, I'll make it happen if Anis wants it. … and it's hard to say no if Anise decides to.”

Priscilla asks Yufi how she said she still couldn't believe it. At first it was Ufi, who had answered pale, but inadvertently soothes that look and turns it into a bitter laugh.

When Yufi smiled bitterly, Ilia and Raini were smiling bitterly at each other so that they could hang.

”We were saved by Anisphere, too.”

”We're the only ones who are good and Mr. Priscilla says no... we're complicated too”

”… more, less. We're here to annoy Annis. I have never forgotten its benevolence. That's why I'm loving this guy, and I want to make my wish come true. But for that reason, this man can cut himself, Priscilla.”

Uffi softly takes his seat and walks down to Priscilla. And I gazed at Priscilla, putting my hand on her shoulder.

”I don't want to make this man a convenient hero.”

”... Your Majesty”

”Yes, that's why I took this seat. I didn't want you to be a king until I let you kill this man's heart. Our focus is anise. Aside from your feelings, you will also live around anise in the future. So don't forget. I will not forgive you for the rest of your life if you avenge your good fortune to have Annis.”

Looking straight into Priscilla's eyes, Yufi told her softening her voice just a little bit.

Priscilla had opened her eyes and stared at Uffi, but gradually lowered her shoulders and gaze without force.

”Raini, I'll let Priscilla rest for a while. Counseling in the meantime. Please take care of your distrust of others from past trauma”

”Are you sure?

”Yeah, I'll have you lean this way, even if it's slightly forceful.... can you forgive me? Anis.”

”Ugh, yeah. If you mean only care...”

I know Raini is a vampire, but Priscilla has no next. Uffi is totally going to take in Priscilla here. So we're going to share our secrets and block the escape route.

On top of that, face the past that is eroding Priscilla. It is Raini who is suited to that care. No more qualified than Raini to wipe out past trauma.

”I have to take care of you more than I've held you...”

”... I'm sorry?

”Is it necessary? So don't hold me alone. Plus I know how it feels to spare Priscilla's abilities.... and I don't want to change the talent around Anis weirdly because of this. I don't know when or what to catch.”

Ha, and he sighed deeply and Yufi suppressed his eyebrows. I accidentally broke my heart and held my chest. No, I don't know, because I'm not aggressive about helping people either because I want...

With that in mind, Priscilla made a small laugh. I accidentally got zero, and I couldn't imagine that the laughter was from Priscilla, and I stared at her unexpectedly.

”... it's really just incredible. I also feel that Her Majesty's hardship has finally been detected. It was a failure to invite you to cheat easily.”

”... cheating?

That was the coldest voice I've ever heard. I feel a sweat coming out of my whole body all at once, and at the same time I feel the chills that made that sweat cold all at once.

Yuri, Yufi stared at me. Slightly inclined eyes stare at me with a flush.

”What do you mean?

”Just kidding!? Or why did you oil the fire, Priscilla!?”

”No, I honestly thought I'd confess my sins...”

”Do you want to cheat? Anis......”

”No! Never! Because there isn't!”

”But isn't there something dark behind that rush?

”Because there isn't!

”... hehe, then I'm relieved”

Pelo, with a little tongue out, Yufi soothed her expression and laughed. Such a yuffy takes me by surprise.

Then Ilia and Raini also blew out and turned away from me. Ilia gently put her hands on her mouth, and Raini is folding herself into just a few letters.

”... isn't it possible that Master Anisphere could cheat?”

”That's right. Lady Annis can't do that.”

”... could they have made fun of me!? Now they make fun of me!?”

”You can't even joke about getting on an affair, can you? I believe that.”

”Until Uffi!

The air that we should have been seriously talking about until earlier is all foggy at once and kind of sends a warm glance at me.

Uffi stopped by me when I was embarrassed and accidentally obstinate. Still turning away, Uffi whispered with his face close to his ear.

”No, you can't, right?

... I hope you're making fun of me, or are you serious! Already!
