[Hmm~ Where am I? 】

Touching the back of my neck, which was still a little painful, I struggled to sit up from the bed.

Looking at the unfamiliar ceiling and bed, I finally remembered why I was here—I was arrested by my uncle.

Obviously determined to fight against his uncle, but he was knocked down by that man's perfect second.

[I don't know how Hyunwoo is? 】

Muttering quietly, I stepped out of bed, and the clothes on my body had been changed into fluttery clothes, just like the ones I wore when I was a child, and the Rubik's Cube that the adventurer had proved was gone. I don't like this kind of clothing because it's inconvenient to move. When I turned my head, I found that my hair was scattered again, and I looked around in a panic, and finally saw the small iron hair ring on the side of the pillow, and some cold metal objects brought me inexplicable peace of mind at this time.

After stroking my fingers over the metal ornament and checking my face in the mirror on the table, I put the hair band on my hair again, and the silver hair band on the pink ponytail matched perfectly.

[Miss, Lord Deas is waiting for you in the hall.] 】

As soon as I walked out of the room, I saw a maid smiling and bowing to me.

【…… I know. 】

I'm a little hesitant about what kind of attitude I should use to face my uncle now.,Uncle is a typical nobleman of the West Country.,I'm extremely concerned about the honor of the family and the evaluation of outsiders.,This time I must have made him angry for Xianyu's disobedience.。

[No, not only for Hyunwoo, but also for the teammates. 】

Thinking of this, I opened my mouth as if I was emphasizing something, yes, not just for Hyunwoo, he just happened to be there.

Thinking like this, I straightened my clothes, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong with me, I walked down the stairs down the hall, where my well-dressed uncle was talking to a man with the same silver hair as Hyunwoo, and the man seemed to notice my presence and turned his head to look at me, and then he seemed to say something to my uncle, who also looked at me.

Knowing that I had been discovered, I didn't hide, so I walked over generously, but the two of them seemed to have finished talking, and they stood up together.

[The matter is up to you, Lord Ulu Cruise. 】

[No, thanks to your help, that child has been superhumanly gifted since he was a child, if he continues like this, sooner or later he will regret it, it is better to let him find out this now. 】

Your Highness? Could it be that this man is a subordinate of the prince of the East?

The man turned to me and nodded, and I nodded to him, and my uncle and I watched the man leave, and the rest of the hall was just the two of us.

"Theris, sit down there.] 】

My uncle gestured to where the white-haired man had been sitting, and a maid brought me a new cup of tea, and my reflection was reflected in the steaming tea.

[Uncle.] 】

I didn't know what to say, but I had the courage to say it, but now I couldn't say anything in front of my uncle's calm face, as if my courage had been drained.

[How are you living these days, life as an adventurer must be very hard. 】

My uncle behaved as if nothing had happened before, and I asked myself why my niece would not have forgiven her if she had said something like that, why was my uncle so calm now?

[No, it's not hard, there is a carriage when I am in a hurry, I have a companion when I fight, and the life of everyone laughing together is very special to me, and every day is very fulfilling. 】

[You won't be able to eat anything when you're out on the road, look at how thin you've lost weight during this time.] 】

[No, you can eat it.] The mage on our team is a wonderful person, she cooks the same food as a professional chef, and even has a special package in her luggage for cooking. 】

I couldn't help but smile a little when I said this, I guess there are a few adventurers like Jade, but thanks to her I can gradually get used to it, and even now I still can't eat that unpleasant dry food.

There are also orange orange fluffy ears and small body, I can sleep peacefully in my arms no matter what I experience during the day, and Anaki, who joined not long ago, although she is a weird person, but now she has become able to communicate with us normally, although it will only become like that when facing Hyunwoo.

The more I thought about these friends, a strong feeling gradually spread in my heart, and it seemed that the courage in my heart would gradually rise when I thought about them.

[Uncle...... I, I don't want to go back! 】

Spoken, finally spoken. Obviously, I was going to be scolded, and I knew that I wouldn't be able to let me go back after I was caught, but I still said it.

【…… So, Theris, are those people such important companions to you? Do you want to be with your parents and loved ones instead of missing them back home? 】

[I remember that all your swordsmanship was given to you by that old knight, that person is now seriously ill and lying in bed, and may die at any time, as the only disciple, don't you want to see him? 】

【What! Master he ......]

My uncle's words broke the feelings in my heart.

[Master, he...... How could it be, that person is so healthy!. 】

[No matter how healthy he is, he is a sixty-year-old man, and the lifespan of human beings is limited after all. 】

Oh, yes...... The master has reached that age, and for human beings, he is already close to the age of the end of life. No matter how I am a disciple of that person, I can't let him die alone.

"I see, I'll go back with my uncle.] But only the matter of marriage should be postponed, at least...... It's up to me to decide who I want to be a husband! 】

I still chose to obey, although I am a little sorry for Hyunwoo and them, but it is not too difficult for them to find another knight to play as a striker. Soon after I leave, I will have a new person to take my place, he (she) will go on adventures with everyone, fight side by side with Hyunwoo to defeat the enemy, sit by the campfire and eat jade food together, you can also touch Tachibana's head without any worries, and raise a glass at the adventurer's house together, and my eyes will become sour when I think of this.

Tears fell involuntarily, the reflection of himself on the teacup in front of him was scattered, the vision became blurred, the uncle on the opposite side left from the chair, a pair of warm hands gently fell on my shoulders, feeling the warmth of these hands, I seemed to recall the grade I was in my uncle's arms when I was a child, when did I grow up so big?
