Unquestionably, right now Shien is just feeling quite beleaguered.
What do you mean by trust from the depths of her heart?
What do you mean by proof of opening her heart?
That’s all only because she had exposed her true self before me. That’s the only reason why she’s so unguarded toward me!
“I really aren’t staying because of her.”
Shien could only so explain with a red face.
And obviously, no one believed him.
“Really! Please believe me!”
Shien was on the verge of collapse.
“I’d rather jump down from here into the lake and drown than to stay here for the sake of that princess!”
Shien could stop himself from swearing a serious oath.
However, when he did so, Shien only felt a chill run down his back. Vivian and the others facing him also went stiff and unmoving.
Right then…
“… So you actually dislike me that much huh?”
A chilling voice came from behind Shien.
Shien’s mouth involuntarily twitched as he slowly turned his head and looked behind him.
Lucy had gotten there at some unknown point and was calmly looking at Shien. She was displaying the coolness and calmness of her princess mode to its absolute limits.
However, from Lucy’s gaze, Shien could see wrath that was barely being held back from erupting.
“Y-your highness…?”
Vivian, Balon, Alrith, and Leon all started shaking.
Only then did Lucy turn toward them.
“My apologies, I have some matters to deal with, so I’m going to borrow this person for now. There’s no problem with that, right?”
As she spoke, Lucy was emitting an aura that was even more terrifying than what Shien had displayed back during the audience.
“O-of course there’s no problems with that!”
Vivian and the rest immediate nodded rapidly.
“Wait!” Shien hurriedly shouted, “I’m going with you guys!”
What his words got in reply was a calm voice.
“You’re coming with me!”
As she said that, Lucy grabbed Shien by the back of his shirt and dragged him away, uncaring of his struggling.
Vivian and the rest could only watch as all this took place before exchanging glances.
“Vivian, do you think it’s really possible for the princess?”
Balon couldn’t hold himself back from asking that question.
In response, Vivian just laughed.
That’s because…
“Before I wasn’t sure, but now…”
Perhaps, those two really might end up together?
As she thought that, Vivian couldn’t help but get a sense of anticipation.
This is the pairing of the Hero of another world and the Hero of the current age after all.
