The sky was getting darker and gloomy, and the thunderclouds as thick as futon were about to move in the distance.

It looks like boiling spring water, changing its shape in a variety of ways.

"Your Highness Lemuel, it's time to take your medicine." And just then, the nurse cautiously knocked on the door—

Unwilling to disturb Lemuel's rest, she spoke in a low voice that he was almost alone.

"It's okay, come in?"

Lemuel said, slowly taking off his flat-rimmed glasses; He closed the book and greeted her with a smile that was not very reluctant.

"Are you alone today? Chris? Or should I call you Tina? ”

Lemuel asked in a softer tone than usual.

"Call it whatever you want, I don't mind—"

This guy is visibly nervous......

After receiving such an answer, I saw him think for a while-

"After all, I don't want to maintain the usual style that I can't even get used to in my current situation......"

"Besides, there's no one else here now...... So I'll leave it to you, Tina? ”

"I understand...... Woooooooo ”

Sure enough, I'm nervous.,Anyway, she doesn't know what expression to show like this.,Honestly, it's pretty cute, isn't it?

And at the end of the sentence, she seems to make a very cute sound......

But Lemuel was going to pretend he didn't hear.

- Maybe it's just the first time I've been called in such a close way, right?

Although this is just his wild speculation, in the end there is no basis......

But in fact, it was just as Lemuel had guessed.

"Wait, wait, wait! This thing looks bitter, can I stop drinking it?! ”

- In an instant, the air in the room froze instantly......

Someone's words suddenly made the atmosphere very subtle......

This is also known as a sense of resistance.

At this moment, Lemuel's entire face seemed to read-

"Even if I jumped off here, I wouldn't drink this thing!"

This scene suddenly made Tina dumbfounded for an instant.

"Please don't play with children's temper now, if you don't take medicine regularly, you will never be cured......"

"Do you mean that you don't care even if it becomes like this?"

However, one thing is one thing. Although it was funny to watch him make a fuss, Tina wouldn't follow his words-

Anyway, it's work, and it has to be done well.

"But even if you say that...... I still hate the nasty things......"

However, Lemuel was still begging her as if she was already in a bit of a dilemma.

"Seriously, can I stop drinking this thing? Or maybe something else instead? ”

Unexpectedly, at the moment when his words fell, such a seemingly forceful request was rejected mercilessly-

"Nope."

In an instant, I saw Lemuel's expression froze, in short, it was very unnatural-

That expression was as if he had been tortured to extract a confession.

But even that doesn't work...... It's really cute, though—

"Won't it work anyway?"

However, even if he kept staring at him with a pitiful gaze, the answer of the girl in front of him did not change in the slightest.

"No, and could you please not stare at me like a discarded puppy?"

"Isn't this like I'm bullying Your Highness?"

"Huh? Isn't that so? Lemuel seized the moment and asked with a wicked back.

"I, where do I have!?"

She hurriedly denied it, and almost bit her tongue from being so excited.

"Of course not! Even if it's coquettish; It's awkward, please stop it in moderation......"

"Your Highness, you really like to bully people unexpectedly!"

"Seriously, Tina...... Can't you just think of a way? After all, I've been sick with bitter things since I was a child......"

- I have to admit that in this kind of place, he behaves quite explicit and honest.

At the same time, he also made no secret of his childish side.

But it is clear that he does not intend to make even the slightest concession on this issue.

At the same time, the stubbornness and persistence on this issue also fully let Tina know how cute he is.

See? It's just helpless, isn't it?

- Although, this pure fragment is just making a fuss.

But if this kind of side that you can't see on weekdays spreads......

It will definitely make everyone dumbfounded.

"I see. In that case, as long as His Highness drinks it, I'll think of a little way, right? ”

"Do you still want to drink it as a result?!"

These words; And this conclusion immediately made Lemuel almost cry.

"Good medicine is bitter! And if it is delayed any longer, this medicine will be cold, and I am afraid that it will be even more bitter than it is now. ”

"Woo......"

Because it's a fact, there's no way to refute it-

"I see, I'll just drink—"

Finally surrendered......

This situation really made Tina feel relieved.

However, because both hands and feet cannot move easily,

In the end, she could only feed herself the decoction that had not disappeared little by little.

This scene reminded him of taking care of his sister who caught a cold from kicking the quilt when he was a child, and finally he was infected with a cold.

As a result, Vane apologized vigorously, and took care of himself while developing this ......

It's a shame to think about it now.

However, even if there is a reason, it is so close to being thought of......

Staring at the distance where the tip of her nose almost touched the tip of her nose also made Tina feel shy—

But this is force majeure in the final analysis! If his hands could move freely, Lemuel would have come by himself!

That's right, so even if it becomes such a very misleading scene...... What can I do?

What's more, the other party is still the object of his longing.

Isn't that even more shy?!

Tina couldn't help but think so...... The temperature of the cheeks gradually rises as a matter of course.

Sure enough, the place where you should be shy will feel shy anyway......

"That, Your Highness? Can you please stop staring at me like that? I'm sorry ......."

In fact, the bottom of the bowl was already empty, but the atmosphere gradually became strange-

What's even worse is that since just now, my heart has been beating faster. It's like a fawn rambling around.

"If it's okay, I'll go first!"

Honestly, the timing of her words wasn't a good one, but she couldn't think of anything else.

As a result, one of them stumbled in the trot, and his head slammed into the door frame—

"It hurts, it hurts!?" Suddenly tears were about to burst out of my eyes!

"Are you alright?"

Seeing this, Lemuel asked with a desperate smile.

"It's okay......"

How can it be okay? Does it hurt to death......?

But although she said so, her body still shook slightly-

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it's okay, does it?

"Is it really okay? That guy ......"

And in order not to expose herself more ugliness in front of this person, she could only quickly escape the room.

Unexpectedly, at the corner of the corridor, he collided with the person who was walking here.

"Don't you have eyes when you walk?! Girl......? ”

"I'm so sorry!"

- After Tina finally got up from the cold ground, she finally saw the object of her scolding -

It was a high-ranking aristocrat subordinate to the "President of the Supreme Court".

This man's words do have the right to do so.

"I'm so sorry, Lord Ozman!"

Realizing this, Tina was so frightened that she immediately bowed her head and apologized, and at the same time, her body couldn't help shaking-

She was very scared, because if this guy was in a bad mood at this time, she would probably be corrected on the spot!

So......

And this is not just a simple alarmist, he plays with others with his likes and dislikes at will......

Such rumors are no longer uncommon in Midgard.

"Forget it, this time the old man will open the net! Get out of ......! ”

This result really relieved her.

At the same time, I was also scared out of a cold sweat.

But it's a blessing in misfortune to be able to end like this-

But this guy must not have any good intentions when he comes here at this time......

So, Tina couldn't help but be outside the door to hear what he was up to.

"Your Highness, I have something important to discuss—"

With that, Ozman walked into the room with his head held high.

That look is simply unbelievable to the extreme......

Even Lemuel was a little surprised by his attitude.

"I heard your voice in the corridor, this is a hospital anyway, can you please restrain a little? Lord Ozman? ”

"Yes, I'll pay more attention in the future."

This sounds like a perfunctory ......

And it's always the same every time, like a social rhetoric.

"After all, that's just perfunctory to me, right?"

After listening to this, Ozman's fleshy face seemed to change slightly......

It was an unexpected surprise. But his response was not in the least distracted by the anger in Lemuel's words—

That's what it is.

"Your Highness has been thinking too much, and you have no intention of doing so."

- This kind of boring and boring, superficial dialogue is undoubtedly an ordeal for both of them.

Lemuel was even more reluctant to carry it on......

So he didn't hesitate to get straight to the point-

"So, what are you here today? It should be more than just a visit, right? ”

"Seriously, if I did, I'd be flattered."

"Stinky boy, sharp teeth...... actually went around in circles with the old man to avoid the heavy? ”

He couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart.

However, he immediately pretended to be a kind smile again......

- Cunning Old Fox......

"It's not an earth-shattering event......"

"Just to tell Your Highness about the hearing on the previous failure of the resource exploration mission, which led to the destruction of a large number of tactical aircraft......"

"There's a date for it to be held next Friday."

"Next Friday? Will it be too fast? Lord Ozman? ”

On the surface, Lemuel asked in an unaware manner.

However, he had already guessed this guy's wishful thinking in his heart-

"This old fox should know that I granted Vane a week's leave......"

"And she went to the orphanage attached to Valrhona Cathedral in the suburbs, and it was impossible for her to come back within a week, so she deliberately chose three days later?"

"This is the decision of the collegial chamber......"

"Even if Your Highness personally raises an objection, it is not something that can be changed just by saying it. Please understand this. ”

In this way, Lemuel was unwittingly taken for granted.

He couldn't think of any good reason to refute for a moment—

I couldn't help but fall into a state of speechlessness. After a long while, he asked—

"Sister, she's on vacation right now, does your Excellency know?"

Faced with such doubts, Lishumon certainly did not deny it.

"Then why are the dates so close? Can't we wait until Vane's vacation is over? ”

"I'll tell you the truth, the old man was also against it at first......"

It's amazing to be able to lie so lightly......

Lemuel couldn't help but sigh again.

"But everyone agreed that it was a good decision. So I won't say anything more. ”

Without thinking, he blurted out the preconceived excuses.

Suddenly Lemuel was taken aback.

- Even if he expected it, he didn't expect this guy to give such a ridiculous reason as if he took it for granted.

"Dare to ask the people in the collegial chamber to ask Vane that she fly back with wings?"

Lemuel could no longer hide the emotions that could erupt at any time and anywhere.

However, due to the almost equal status of the two, he could not blame Ozman on the spot.

"The old man didn't say that, he just hoped that Her Royal Highness the princess could come back as soon as possible."

In this case, it may work to deceive a three-year-old......

How could Lemuel believe it now.

I'm afraid he's already gloating in his heart by now, right?

"What will happen if you can't attend the meeting on time, Your Highness should know better than I ......"

Immediately afterwards, he slowly added such a seemingly painless sentence.

"Shh

"I got it......"

Lemuel was mixed at the moment, on the one hand, he was angry at his approach; On the other hand, there is nothing to be done about such a situation.

Because...... This man holds the power of the law of Midgart.

"I really don't understand why my father kept him!"

In the blink of an eye, I saw him sigh secretly and continue to negotiate—

"If that's the case, can I be present in Vane's place?"

"It doesn't matter who either of us attends, does it?"

"Or is it that you are prepared to blame Vane alone, or are you so anxious for fear of disgrace on the Supreme Court?"

"What ...... you say?"

Ozman, of course, immediately denied it.

It's impossible to admit it, right? Even if your mind is seen through, you have to pretend that you don't know......

At the same time, he did not hesitate to reject Lemuel's proposal, leaving only one sentence -

"The meeting must be attended by Her Royal Highness the Princess in person."

And he took his retinue and departed.

Really, it's finally gone-

“...... Tina, are you still there? ”

"Your Highness, ...... just now"

It took a long time for Lemuel to finally come to his senses, and he could barely swallow his anger and frustration.

"Did you hear what you just said?"

There is no need to answer, because if you don't hear—

She wouldn't be any angrier than she was now.

"That guy is too much, I don't understand why His Highness still leaves him alone?"

- And in the face of her question, Lemuel said seemingly lightly-

"What else can I do now?"

She then handed a letter to Tina, who was a little overwhelmed.

Reaching out to take it, she asked tentatively, "Is this letter meant to be handed over to Her Royal Highness the Princess?" ”

"That's it, so can I trouble you to go to the post office? I don't think it's far off. ”

"I see, I'll go now!"

However, it is obviously impossible for Vane to know about this......

It is even more impossible to know what is written in the letter that is about to be handed into his hands.

She could only think about what was in front of her at this moment—

"Your Royal Highness Princess, it doesn't matter, right?!"

Without hesitation, Gahaerys rushed forward and struggled to pull Vane's mech out of the viscous liquid-filled area!

"Honestly, if you were too late, Brunhilde and I would have been dissolved on the spot."

She said in a panting, sweaty voice.

"Huh?! Does that guy's blood still have this terrifying effect? ”

"Ah...... It can only be said that thanks to Brunhilde's body shell, which is made of anti-corrosion materials, right? ”

"Otherwise, I would have died by now. And also...... Thank you, Gahaerys......"

As soon as she finished speaking, Gahaerys also breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he asked, "In that case, can you conclude that we won?" Vane nodded, followed by an affirmative answer.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, something is wrong!"

However, as soon as the two of them had time to catch their breath, another team member panicked and came with news that could even be called bad news-

"Just now, 300 meters to the southwest, in the canyon near the west side, there were many traces of fierce battles!"

"And...... Now there are people trapped inside, too! ”

After listening, Vane's face was as dead as ashes—

"Someone is trapped?"

"Are you sure?!"

"Yes, the SOS signal has been emitted until just now, but the signal frequency was very weak before, so it was not captured!"

Unexpectedly, at the moment when the words fell, an explosion like a mountain suddenly shook at the place just mentioned!

"There will be no mistake, it was the sound of someone detonating a tactical aircraft......"

Sensing this, she immediately decided to quickly transfer the command to Gahaerys-

"No problem, right? Gahaerys ...... From now on, you'll be in command of the team, and I'm sorry, I'm going to borrow some from you—"

"Please leave it to me!"

Later, she didn't dare to slack off, and only selected 5 people to form a temporary rescue team...... Rush to the place where the explosion sounds!

"Hey, if we continue like this, we will be caught in a war of attrition by the anti-guest!"

The enemies are gathering more and more!!

However, even if she knew this, she could not say it explicitly.

Because, in this way, it will only add unnecessary panic.

"Now we can only take one step at a time!"

After making up his mind, Vane couldn't help but speed up his flight-

Unexpectedly, at this moment, his vision was suddenly covered by a white light like a wilderness-

"Hurry up and disperse, or you'll be hit!"

However, although her order was already prophetic, it was still a step too late!

Then came the deafening explosion that pierced the eardrums without mercy......

"Damn, why did it become like this?!"

Crimson flames and clouds of smoke burst out as if desperate!

The scattered wreckage swallowed her like a stormy wave!

“？！”

- "Her Royal Highness Princess!? ”

In an instant, it was like a dream, and something that everyone couldn't accept happened in front of their eyes......

Although unacceptable, everyone even thought that this was just an illusion......

But unfortunately, this is an indisputable fact!

No matter how reluctant you are to admit it, it still happens as a matter of course.

"Long-range shelling?! But wasn't it not so long ago that the report was impossible? Why, exactly? Where the hell did they come from!? ”

"Miller, stop asking such idiotic questions and concentrate on dodging the shelling!"

"After all, if we are all wiped out, everything will be over!"

However, Miller trembled so much that he couldn't even hold the lever properly—

"But, Her Royal Highness the Princess, she ......!"

"Her Royal Highness the princess will not die so easily, and at present, our task is to continue the rescue mission......!"

"And, take a chance to bite those guys hard! From now on, I'll be in command of you, okay? ”

Percival's quick decision made everyone regain their composure in an instant.

"That's the only way to go, then Percival, our net worth and life will be entrusted to you!"

"Everyone descends to the lowest altitude they can allow, and they rush over like that!"

"Remember to keep a proper distance and avoid being shot down as much as possible!"

"I don't need you to say this kind of thing, I'll do it!"

Although his tone was still a little disobedient, Miller did not intend to take this as a deaf ear.

"That's it, that's it! Don't panic? ”

Then, when the four of them came to a place less than 20 meters away from the enemy with long-range attack skills, the attacks gradually became dense like raindrops-

In other words, they have to be dealt with first......

"Really, why do you always like to get in the way at such critical moments when every second counts!"

Miller, who kept cursing in his mouth, quietly detoured behind them under the cover of black smoke and rising artillery fire—

Of course, the other party also noticed it, but ......

"It's too slow!"

Immediately afterward, I saw her blast one of the enemies in front of her into pieces at zero distance at zero distance with a fast knife!

The cannonball mercilessly pierced its body straight through!

Crisp and neat ......
