Two days later we boarded the trading ship. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Asa was excited to see Laxis, and was inevitably kicked by Sister Jana and Laxis.

With Sister Jana by her side, Asa is rarely more serious (it seems that Asa is very afraid of Sister Jana, and Sister Jana beats him without mercy - I really don't know what happened between them)

In the past two days, Lagersis dragged me around the market, buying me clothes and buying me accessories, although she has a sister, but I really can't figure out who is the sister when she drags me around, watching her bargain with the shop there, I can't help but smile bitterly - does she have the consciousness of being a princess?

However, she always asks about things related to Lacey, which makes me very concerned, does she really like Lacey? She said I was her rival - did it have anything to do with Lacey?

I had this question in my mind, but I couldn't talk to her.

Lacey, it's really hard for me to reassure me, first little Luca, and now a princess......

"It's a nice day," Asa and I said to the captain after inspecting the trading ship, and Sister Cana and I followed Sister Jana to the captain's room.

"Well, the wind is good," replied the captain, "I wish it could go on like this, for there is a princess on board, and I don't want to be in the storm!" ”

"It won't be this season, will it? Besides, what is the storm afraid of? - Garrett, isn't your ship the glory of our empire?! ”

"Don't laugh at Jana, my Happy Lady can't withstand the storms no matter how good it is—I wish my ship had been made in the East," Garrett lamented.

"Are the Oriental ships good?" I couldn't help but interject and ask.

"Good? Compared to their ship, my Happy Lady is a toy," Garrett looked envious, "My Happy Lady can only carry a maximum of two hundred people, have you ever seen their ship?" A boat can hold nearly 1,000 people! It would take more than 200 people to be able to drive! A lot of Orientals bring their families with them - I really envy that! ”

"Wow! A boat for a thousand people! A fleet, assuming that half of the people are with their families - isn't that a lot of Oriental beauties? Asa looked longing, "If only I could soak a few ......"

Sister Cana gave him a punch, "Anyway, you are also the escort of the envoy group now, pay attention to the image!" - Garrett, how long will it take for us to get there? ”

"At this rate, about two months - a little boring, there's good wine in the hold, take it yourself, and I'll treat you."

"Fart! You're not going to end up losing trade! But thank you! Asa, drink with me! Sakura, the princess is memorizing the papers, don't worry about her, you can go shopping by yourself! ”

"Hey, hey! Sister, I'm going to accompany—uh"

Before he finished speaking, Asa was dragged out by Sister Jana.

Well, what should I do?

"First time on a boat?" Garrett saw that I was a little dazed, so he asked.

"Yes"

"Now it's time for you to go to the stern, the sunset over the sea is beautiful - but be careful not to fall overboard!"

"Ahh Thank you! ”

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Lying on the side of the ship, I was blowing the wind in a daze.

The wind is not strong, and it has a unique smell of the sea, and it is very comfortable to blow on the body.

The sunset over the sea is indeed beautiful, and everything around is draped in a faint orange red.

Two months, by then Lacey should be in the singles, right? Fortunately, as long as you enter the top 20 - Eres's skills, it shouldn't be difficult, right? ――Will he get hurt?

Alas, I was always so worried.

"Lacey ......" looked at Lacey's badge in my hand, and I said to myself, "Do you miss me now?" Know I'm worried about you? Badass-"

"Maybe." Laxis's voice suddenly came from behind him.

“！ Princess! ”

When did she come? Did you hear it all?

Lagers leaned on the side of the boat as I did, turning her head sideways, "Sister Sakura, you like Lacey, don't you?" ”

"......" I blushed.

"Whew, sure enough. I love it too! ”

"Yes."

Lagers was a little surprised, "Not strange? Ah-I guessed it. ”

I nodded: "I can guess by looking at your performance in the past two days, I have always wanted to ask you, but I didn't expect you to be so direct......"

"Looking at your appearance in the past two days, Miss Ben can also guess that every time I talk to you about that red-eyed idiot, your expression is unnatural."

"Yes?"

"Yes! Alas, it's fine if you don't like Lacey - it's hard to have you as an opponent......" Lagers sighed heavily.

"Lacey he has ......"

"Ogi-chan? I know, I already knew......" Lagersis looked at the sea in the distance, "Actually, I knew it before you knew it!" ”

"Huh? No way? ”

"That red-eyed idiot...... He and I are engaged. ”

“！”

"You should know about the three of us, right?"

I nodded.

"The princess of the royal family, marriage is political--the eldest sister married to the desert kingdom of Yitzhak in the northwest of the empire, and the second sister is about to marry, and the object is Prince Raven of the Northern Territory - these have been decided since childhood, and I am more lucky, my father wants to find a suitable match among the close ministers, so that I can not only keep me by his side, but also consolidate the loyalty of the retainers."

"At that time, it was Lacey who chose it?"

"Well, as a descendant of the twelve nobles and a military family, although the strength of Lacey's father's knights is not as strong as the four major cavalry regiments, it is also one of the forces that his father relies on. And...... Miss Ben was about his age—you know? Lagersis suddenly asked me energetically, "Guess what he said when he first saw me?" ”

I shook my head: "Can't guess ......"

"That was two years before his accident," Lagers recalled, "and he was brought before his father, along with the other candidates, who asked him, 'Serestine, will you swear allegiance to the royal family and protect the princess for the rest of your life?' He even said, 'It's my duty to be loyal to the royal family, but I don't want to protect the princess for the rest of my life!' 'Excessive, isn't it?' Pretty excessive, right? That's what I said in front of Miss Ben! ”

"This-Lacey did ...... do it"

It turned out that he was so willful at that time.

"Fortunately, at that time, my father thought he was a child, and laughed and let us go to play. Let's get acquainted with each other. At that time, he was very special, and the other children were desperately trying to beat me, and he was the only one who ignored me, and he was almost inseparable from that little Di - he didn't give me any face. Lagers's mood gradually began to fall, "Is that maid so good......

“……”

"We've been together for a month, even if we've only been together for a month - he's been too lazy to pay attention to me, but I've always wanted to find him, funny, right? And I envy that maid more and more...... Especially when the group of children were found out by Reis when he was not bullying Xiao Di, Rey rushed up angrily - I really hoped that it was me who was being bullied...... It was my ...... who rushed to protect Lacey."

“……”

"He was the one I had been thinking about since we separated, and I was so happy to know that he was my betrothed. After all, I am a princess, is Xiao Di a maid, and I will have a chance to take away his heart in the future, and I made this decision in my heart at that time, but I didn't expect Roktar City to ...... I cried for a long time to know that Lacey was dead. Tears welled up in Lagers' eyes, "Recently, I learned that my father and king deliberately concealed the fact that I was still alive, and it would be better for me to die and find a suitable one than a ruined nobleman with no army and no castle!" ”

"They are also ...... for your good"

"That's weird! - He doesn't remember me at all when I was with him that day, too...... In the past, he only had Xiao Di in his heart, and where would he remember me, the wayward princess - I also thought he was no longer alive, so I didn't expect it to be him. Until that night he saw Ogi Grass Flower...... Those hot red eyes were so familiar—I should have recognized him a long time ago......"

Lageris sat down slowly with his hands on his knees: "He is still the same as before, he is still the Lacey I longed for, and there is only Lacey with Xiao Di in his eyes...... Maybe it's mean, but I really hope that Ogi is gone, that she's gone...... But if Ogi wasn't there, he wouldn't look at me...... So me, what should I do......"

I couldn't help but stroke her head, "No, although Reis only has Xiao Di in his heart, he is still very gentle with the people around him......"

"But I'm too willful, and I always annoy him......"

"But he's still very obedient to you, didn't he listen to you that night? He's never cooked grilled fish for me. ”

"That's right," Lagersis smiled, "haven't you seen it~ His expression was really idiotic at that time, hee--then Miss Ben has already decided!" No matter whether he finds Xiao Di or not, no matter how much of a threat you are, Sister Sakura, and no matter how much my father opposes them, Miss Ben must make him my husband! He has that strength, as long as he makes more meritorious deeds, he will definitely return to his original position, no, it is a higher status and then gain the approval of his father! ”

“…… Will you be happy in this way? Looking at Laxis, who had become more interested, I was stunned for a long time, and finally said.

"Happiness?" Lageris looked up at the sky that had become inky blue, "In that case, although he doesn't have me in his heart, compared to my sisters, I can at least stay with the person I love for the rest of my life." I will be happy...... Well, I'll be absolutely happy-don't you, Sister Sakura, don't you want to? ”

"Stay with him for the rest of your life—ah!" I looked at the princess, "Lacey may not be able to stay with you that long...... Would you still like it? ”

"Huh?"

"Actually, Reis is ......"

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

Knowing Lacey's secret, Lageris lowered her head and did not speak for a long time.

Laxis ......

I don't know if Lagers's decision was wrong, if it was me, if it was me...... I really hope that the days when we learned fencing together two years ago will continue, and although Lacey was always thinking about Ogi at that time, I still hope that I can live every day with Lacey like that.

I'm just like a princess.

I envy Xiao Di.

So envious.

"Reista...... Will you die before the age of 30? Lagersis asked silently.

"That's what Grandpa said, and probably ...... earlier"

"Isn't it just a matter of finding a way to lift the curse?"

I shook my head, "We hope so, but it's not clear if Lacey has a curse on him - maybe it is the fate of their clan if they don't live for thirty years." ”

"Even so, even so......" Lagersis was silent for a moment, then bit her lip with determination, "Even then I'm going to be with Lacey!" Even if he dies early, I can be happy by his side for at least ten years! ”

"But then ......"

"Sister Sakura, what about yourself? Will you not want to be around Reis because of Reis's curse? ”

I shook my head: "I won't...... But you're a princess, so you're so wronged......"

"For me, if my husband is not Reis, that is the biggest grievance!"
