"Ah~~"

Kamiyu covered his forehead with both hands, with a blank look of incomprehension.

"Poof...."

A chuckle rang in my ears.

"Hehehe..... What's that expression? Dumbfounded...", pointing in Kamiyu's direction.

"Heh...."

Kamiyu smiled faintly.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, he felt a gentle pull from his arm, and the whole person leaned forward slightly and fell into the arms of the person in front of him.

"It's reassuring to be able to see you smile again with the same innocent smile that you only have when you lose your memory." The long hair with a hint of coolness on the back of her head seems to embrace her with all the warmth that she contains.

I stroked the long silky smooth and cold hair over and over again, feeling the body in my arms gradually soften.

The guardian said in a very tugging tone...... Don't get carried away! ”

At this moment, he suddenly burst out and bit Kamiyu's neck lightly.

'Bang~'

The two who lost their support suddenly fell to the ground.

"I've found something interesting in your memory..."

"Ah~~ You're a foul.... It's too despicable~~" A weak voice came softly from the ground, and the blue dull hair trembled and straightened up, and then slowly drooped down.

"Wordy, it's your fault that you have weaknesses!" He let go of the bite around his neck, but the extremely close breath still made Kamiyu feel goosebumps all over his body.

"Well, you've seen how powerful the witch is, right?"

, looked at the young man below him with a condescending smug look.

"I didn't expect the effect to be so significant..."

Seeing that Kamiyu was still panting, his eyes slowly softened, and the palm that caressed the young man's face revealed a trace of inexplicable complicated feelings.

Just as Kamiyu came back to his senses, a faint smile suddenly crossed his face, and he turned over and stood up with a light movement.

With his hands behind his back, he took a few random steps.

"Ahhh~~ This place, compared to when I just came in, it seems to be missing something....."

"Huh?"

Although it is an obvious means of digressing the topic, it is very effective for Kamiyu.

"What's missing..... Kamiyu's voice cut off suddenly.

"Huh!!! Why is Gawain gone!!? ”

In the cavern, except for some data cables that had been forcibly torn off, the huge mech had completely disappeared.

"Oh no, Lloyd is really going to be angry now....." Kamiyu held his head in distress, but soon, he regained his composure.

"Well~~ Anyway, Lloyd is a child's temper, if you get him some 'new toys', he will forget about it when he turns his head."

[You're a child's personality!] This thought just flashed through my mind

"Your Highness!!"

At this moment, an anxious call came from the door of the cave.

"Jeremia?" 's gaze suddenly turned to the figure that appeared at the entrance of the cave.

"Your Highness.... It's great to see you safe and sound. Jeremiah ran in in fear.

"When I saw Gawain flying out just now, I really thought you had..."

Certain words are taboo, especially prominent in imperial states. It's just that, even in democracies, I'm afraid that only those who don't have brains will say in front of a living person that the other person is 'dead' on such an occasion.

"In Lower Jeremiah Goldbart has twice lost his lord. If even His Royal Highness has any accidents, he can only apologize with death..... No, even if you die, you won't have the shame to face your highness....."

[Two sovereigns? Kamiyu was slightly stunned, but quickly understood.

Jeremiah had served as the captain of the guard at the Aries Palace, so it was understandable that Mariana was his first monarch.

"Jeremiaqing, you've done your best, please don't blame yourself. Presumably, His Highness Mariana and Clovis's Highness will not blame you. ”

....................

[Jeremiah is brave and it's okay, but it's too easy to be swayed by emotions. Although I have experienced such a major setback twice, it will take a little time to change my previous mindset and mature. No, strange .....] Sitting in the base of Shikinejima, looking out the window at the pouring rain, Kamiyu was stunned to think.

Due to the typhoon outside, the entire Kyushu area was enveloped by a violent storm. Kamiyu and his party could only temporarily stay at the Shikinejima military base not far from Shene Island.

What kind of person is Jeremia? 】

On the island of Shengen, Jeremia's words made him discover the contradictions in this man for the first time.

Loyalty?

True, the loyalty of this man is undeniable. But why is such a loyal man still alive after losing the two kings he served?

In the Aries Palace incident 8 years ago, Jeremiah served as the captain of the Aries Palace's guards.

Unlike ordinary guards, the position of captain needs to be appointed by His Royal Highness of the palace, or by the commander of the defense himself. These guards are the equivalent of private soldiers, because no one will leave their safety to someone who knows the details.

But Cornella has no impression of Jeremia, that is, Jeremia is named by Mariana.

Of course, there was also the innocence of the Gothbald family, but in the eyes of the other factions, Jeremia had already been branded as Marianne's faction by that time.

[If it is said that it is to avenge the lord and survive..... Was the origin mistaken in the first place? 】

Thinking like this, Kamiyu seemed to have caught something.

[The cause of Mariana's death is strange, and this is not a secret in the upper echelons of the empire. Jeremiah also knew that there was a force behind this incident that he could not shake. Therefore, if you want to find out the truth and avenge Mariana, you must climb to a high position and accumulate strength. So he switched to Clovis for Men...... No, it's a contradiction.....]

Clovis wasn't a good prince, if Jeremia wanted to climb to the top and gather strength. At that time, both Schunazel, who had already served as the secretary of state, and Cornelia, who had already made a name for herself in the military circles, were a better choice than Clovis, who had no responsibilities yet.

If it is said that Cernesel and Cornelia are not the kind of objects that can be manipulated, then Odysseus, as the first heir to the throne, has an absolute advantage over Crovis. Moreover, this person has a cowardly personality and is hesitant in the face of problems, so it can be said that he is the best object to be regarded as a puppet.

Clovis is not interested in politics, but his wisdom is definitely above the level of ordinary people. This is fully proven by the fact that Jeremiah is not even a henchman of Clovis.

[What a contradictory person.... Did I overestimate his intelligence, or did he have a different purpose in the first place? 】

"What are you doing again?" At this moment, the voice rang in my ears.

Kamiyu, who raised her head, saw the green-haired girl in front of her, and pulled out the chair across the table and sat down.

"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly found a little bit worth thinking about." Kamiyu smiled slightly.

Jeremiah's personal purpose isn't a big deal, at least not yet.

"What's the matter?"

"It's just boring, so I'm going to look around." He rested his hand on his chin and turned his head to look out the window.

"Ale? It's weird. Don't you claim that as long as you have a Pisa, you can eat and sleep all day long, and you can eat and eat when you sleep? ”

"This kind of small place, can it be called pizza? It's a blasphemy against Pisa....." looked at Camillo's smiling eyes, and didn't make a direct counterattack.

[Isn't it denied in the second half? Kamiyu smiled helplessly.

"Your dedication to Pizza is truly impressive. But...", he looked at the girl in front of him.

"The last time I saw you dressed like this was 8 years ago."

He was wearing a white uniform of the Guards, but it was more fitting than it was eight years ago.

"Uniform control?" Just the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and he asked in a playful tone.

"Oh no, is my interest exposed?"

"Huh?" Hearing such an answer, he was slightly stunned, but then burst into a burst of laughter.

"It's fun to bully someone with a stubborn personality, but you're pretty good about it....."

"Is it Lelouch?"

The laughter came to an abrupt end, and the room fell into oppressive silence.

"You...."

"Oh no, Your Highness!" Just as he was about to speak, an anxious voice came through the communication.

"The Kanmon Bridge in the Kyushu area was destroyed, and in addition, the coastal area was invaded by a large number of raiding landing ships from the direction of the Chinese Federation! The Commander asks His Highness to evacuate here as soon as possible....."
