For a full ten minutes, Sophia was in the shadows, called the shadow of gastronomy.

"Looks like my 'Infernal Hell' is a type of stamina. ”

Seeing that Sophia had been in poor spirits for so long, Lucia, who had misunderstood the reason, was very happy.

“...... Well, it's a lot of stamina. ”

Lying on the table, Sophia, who no longer even wants to move her fingers, is in a state of losing her motivation to live.

Sophia's voice was too muffled, as sluggish as Lucia had noticed that something was wrong.

"What's wrong, Sophia, she's not feeling well. ”

Speaking of which, the animation has emphasized that caring for girls at this time is very conducive to the increase of favorability, so Lucia put her palm on Sophia's forehead and tried to measure the temperature.

Temperature, how to say it...... I could only feel the delicate skin on Sophia's forehead, and nothing else.

- Isn't it direct enough? Lucia, who thinks in a slightly wrong direction, decides to take a more direct approach, and one that is more cheap.

"Don't move, Sophia. ”

With that, Lucia cupped Sophia's face with both hands.

"What is this for?"

Sophia let Lucia fiddle, but she couldn't figure out what Lucia was going to do, judging from the previous action, it was to take her temperature, but now that her hands are occupied, what can she do?

Soon, Sophia knew what Lucia was going to do.

"Lu ......!"

Sophia's body froze completely, the moist warmth from her forehead making her throat as hot as a flame.

Lucia kissed Sophia's forehead, and out of the mentality that she had already done it anyway, it was better to do more, and stuck out her tongue and licked it again.

This time, Sophia shuddered and let out an ambiguous snort.

I still don't feel the taste. Lucia tilted her head in annoyance, was it because she was inexperienced that she couldn't tell the small difference, or was her question different from that of a human so she couldn't feel it?

But honestly admit that failure is too undignified, and every time you watch the villains in the cartoon fail, they will say something handsome to make the facts look more favorable to themselves.

"Hmph. ”

Lucia folded her hands and raised her chin. Gazing at Sophia with a condescending gaze.

"You have a heart disease, you can only use heart medicine to heal. ”

Heart disease is a good excuse, who doesn't have times when they are overstressed? Even kings have times when they feel depressed...... Lucia became a little skeptical when she thought about herself, after all, her obvious counterexample was here.

Hearing Lucia's words, Sophia woke up from her sweet dream.

Sophia was annoyed, this obviously obscene expression could not be exposed to Lucia, and if it frightened Lucia's already difficult relationship, it would only become even more difficult.

"I'm fine!"

Sophia stood up from her chair with a thud, her flushed face and excited eyes did not look like she was unwell, but she didn't know why her eyes kept wandering. Looks kind of like it's dodging.

"Really? That's good. ”

Lucia accepted it, she couldn't see the problem anyway, so Sophia said that it was okay to take it as if it was okay.

The cake was also eaten, and the small talk was also discussed, and Lucia simply jumped to the main story.

"Speaking of which, is there something you called me for?"

- In this atmosphere, Sophia, who was still shaking, almost choked on her own saliva when she heard Lucia's question.

It's not that Lucia did anything wrong, it's just that in such an environment and atmosphere, even Sophia, who is good at communicating, doesn't know how to speak.

The scene fell silent. Sophia took a moment to sort out her mind and then made a suggestion to Lucia.

"Why don't you go to the top of the castle? There is an observation deck overlooking the whole city. ”

By the effort of transfer. It can also calm down some of the restless atmosphere.

"But because almost the entire king has been destroyed, even if you climb up, you won't see any interesting scenery. ”

"Watchtower?"

Lucia was interested, and it was a novelty for her, although it was not very impressive.

"Let's go, let's go play on the watchtower. ”

At least it's a lot more fun than sitting in a room.

The watchtower always sounds cramped, but the watchtower at Wintercastle Palace is different. The large bluestone and metal frame makes for a spacious room, which is rough but has a reassuring sense of thickness.

The two girls leaned against the low fence of the watchtower, and the cold wind blew through them, but it could not affect them at all.

"It looks so miserable. ”

Lucia stretched her hands out and swayed, her eyes fixed on the destroyed royal capital.

The sturdy buildings of the past have become piles of debris. Everywhere the magic and the shockwave went, everything was wiped out, leaving only the bare land, most conspicuously a huge crack that spanned the entire royal capital, completely destroying the otherwise flat terrain and creating a tall wall in the city.

Lucia's eyes wandered away from the crack, of course, not because she felt that she had a small relationship with herself, right?

"yes, it's miserable. ”

Sophia said as she gestured in a direction with her finger.

"Look over there. ”

Following Sophia's fingers, there were patches of relatively intact ruins, and because the damage was not very large, the repair work had begun in full swing.

"They are not forgetting the pain, nor are they swallowing their anger, but they are trying to live. ”

As Lucia said, this is their life, so they can only move forward on their own legs no matter what.

Feeling that the atmosphere was a little more serious, Sophia relayed the Prime Minister's words to Lucia, but did not mention anyone else, only said that it was her own request.

This is Sophia's last responsibility as a princess.

"In other words, I killed the king of this country?"

Lucia tilted her head blankly, even if it is a king, he is just a human, he just kills a human, do you still need to spend special effort to shirk it, will it be too much of a fuss?

I can't understand it, but since it's Sophia's request, it's important to pretend to be this thing.

"No problem. ”

Lucia replied.

Sophia didn't expect Lucia to agree so easily, and the sourness and guilt in her heart mixed together, making Sophia's eyes moist. She took Lucia into her arms and caressed her back soothingly.

Human beings are really despicable, not only ministers, but even themselves are planning to splash dirty water on this petite shoulder.

"I'm fine without worrying, but I'm even more upset if I make you feel bad. (To be continued.) )
