She...... Why did you run away?

That night, Phyllis lay in bed, took off her wig and maid outfit, and changed into her usual clothes.

Because of the physique ring, the original clothes looked loose on him, giving people a feeling of "wearing boyfriend's clothes".

"I think I'll be fired, right?" Phyllis felt worried.

Today, because of the appearance of a demonic beast in the academy, the academy directly announced the end of school and announced that it had decided to investigate the matter thoroughly. The afternoon class skips directly, and Phyllis follows Erin straight home from school.

And along the way, Erin, who has always liked to make fun of Phyllis, didn't say a word, as if she had been released from the eighth-order magic Silent Word.

Phyllis was a little curious, but out of etiquette, he remained silent the whole time.

Until now, he has not accepted any assignment after completing his daily work. It seems that Princess Irene has lost interest in tossing him. The work should be over soon, and Irene doesn't seem to accept Phyllis's apology, that is, as a knight, Iroh has not completed the task entrusted to him by the New Cruise royal family.

If the mission is only to defeat the monster and protect the princess, Phyllis is more than capable of doing it. He had never encountered such a tricky situation in the course of his fight with the monster, and now he was isolated and unsure of his situation.

Phyllis sat up slowly, then combed her hair back into a single ponytail, and added a ribbon to the end of the ponytail.

In the past, when he was a knight, his hair was directly braided and hidden in his helmet, and even after wearing women's clothes, he would braid a large amount of hair into coils, but just now, he removed all the things that belonged to the King of Seapine on his body, including some ribbons for coiling his hair.

"Knock knock!" A brief knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

"Is Phyllis there?" The voice didn't belong to Erin, but to Susan, the head maid here. Phyllis hurriedly got out of bed, and then replied, "I'm sorry Miss Susan, I'm already resting." Please, what's the matter, I'll be there in five minutes. ”

"There's nothing special about it, it's just that Miss Irene is looking for you, she's in a bad mood right now......" Susan paused as she said this, "I hope you can arrive as soon as possible, and don't let 'Phyllis' break her heart again." ”

What is she talking about? Why did Phyllis break her heart again? Phyllis's mind was full of doubts, but the sound of Susan's distant voice outside the door gradually reached Phyllis's ears.

Phyllis, who still doesn't know what happened, doesn't plan to waste time any longer, and Susan asks for it as soon as possible, that is, if the time comes, maybe it can be saved.

He didn't change into a maid outfit, and walked directly to Erin's door in this outfit.

"Knock knock. Is Her Royal Highness the Princess here? Phyllis knocked lightly, but it was unlocked, and after Phyllis knocked twice, the door opened on its own.

Inside, Irene, who was completely immersed in the piano world, was unaware of Phyllis's entry, and when Phyllis walked in, she quietly closed the door and stood in the doorway waiting.

Finally, Erin's piano was over, and she sighed softly, and was about to turn around to drink a glass of water and continue playing, when she suddenly found Phyllis standing in the doorway.

"Yikes!" Erin exclaimed quietly.

"I'm sorry!" Phyllis hurriedly bowed and apologized, "Because I was so fascinated by the sound of Her Royal Highness playing the piano just now, I didn't interrupt you." I'm really sorry to scare you. ”

"It doesn't matter, if you interrupt in the middle of the game, I might get angry." Erin wasn't angry about this little thing.

But after she said this, she also fell silent, and the topic was broken, and Phyllis was now in a very confused state and did not dare to ask questions, he could only wait quietly for Erin's instructions.

"Phyllis, why are you wearing this dress?" Erin finally asked.

"I stained that garment with unclean blood, so I washed it when I came back, and I'm drying it outside." Phyllis told a lie that was not easily recognized, that all she needed to do was use divine magic to clean her clothes, and that there was no need to wash them with water.

The reason why he really didn't wear that dress was because he felt that he was ashamed of the King of Haisong, sorry Erin, and didn't have the face to meet her as a servant.

"Is that so?" Erin paused slightly, not thinking too much about the logical error in this.

Her mind was not on this trivial matter, and after a while, Erin spoke again: "Phyllis, what do you think of me...... Isn't it useless? ”

"Never!" When Phyllis heard this, she immediately denied it.

"Obviously it didn't work, and I could only cry all the time after being captured by the dragon, whether it was Sister Luna, or Sister Charlie, or even Flanda, who was more calm than me, I could only cry all the time, cry all the time, like a clown trying to get the attention of others with the sound he tried to make."

"Your Highness the Princess!" Phyllis tries to interrupt Erin's self-blame, but Erin doesn't listen to him and is still self-examining.

"It's obviously such a useless person, but after being rescued by you, he did this kind of thing to fool the life-saving benefactor. Phyllis is a dragon-slaying hero, and I'm just a spectator who can watch you from a distance, but I treat you like a servant. ”

"This is my first deception of the princess, this is atonement."

"Cowardly, I can only watch you fight, and when you return in triumph, I won't even have the guts to accept the spoils from your bloodied hands. I must be the most useless princess, right, the Haisong royal family raised me, and the only role is to use it for marriage, right? ”

"......" Phyllis did not refute this sentence. He was in a very tangled situation.

The marriage between the Pines family and the Santa Cruz family was what he was looking forward to, that is, after the marriage, both Erin and Prince Edward would become his masters, so he would not and could not have any objections to the marriage. But he couldn't agree with Erin's words, because Irene's self-blame and guilt had reached the extreme.

"Phyllis, am I right?"

"That's not right." Phyllis finally spoken, "The marriage between Princess Irene and Prince Edward that I am looking forward to is not that you can have a political marriage. Princess Irene will become the queen of New Cruz, and will become the spiritual symbol of New Cruz, the equivalent of the goddess that we believe in the Holy See relative to the people of New Cruz. The goddess never casts out the darkness herself, but her warriors will fight in her name, and Princess Irene is such a person in my eyes. ”

“…… What if I don't want to marry Edward? Erin asked rhetorically.

Phyllis froze.
