Elfaria and Ruth watched over the two of them as they shouted at each other.

“As my vassal, Koutarou, you should show me some more love!”

“Apples and oranges, Theia! I’m not the type to hold back in games!”

While there was a strong bond between them, they still clashed quite often. Especially so when it came to games. They were both competitive and stubborn, to the point their conflicts sometimes deteriorated into fistfights.

“Theia really loves Layous-sama, doesn’t she?”

But despite their heated shouting, Elfaria was smiling as she watched them. She knew that this intense clashing was a sign of their affection for each other.

“Yes. Master is special, and Her Highness is not afraid to shower him with love.”

“I’m sure meeting someone like that is a wonderful thing.”

“I believe you’re exactly right, Your Majesty.”

Ruth and Elfaria were of the same mind on the matter. They also knew it to be true based on their own experiences. Koutarou was someone they both loved and wanted to be loved by.

“I think Theia might be the only one who can pull off such a brutal love.”

“In my case, getting a light flick on the forehead is my limit.”

Ruth wanted a relationship with Koutarou like Theia’s, but because of her personality, Koutarou treated her differently. That wasn’t to say he treated them unequally, however. He treasured both of them in his own way.

“Yet I’m sure Theia wants him to treat her the way he does you, Ruth.”

“That is what she always says.”

“Heehee, I thought as much.”

Elfaria giggled and smiled as she continued to watch Theia and Koutarou. A deep love for Theia was shining in her eyes. Seeing it, Ruth could tell just how much she adored her daughter. But that wasn’t all there was to it.

“Your Majesty, you really trust Master, don’t you?”

“Of course. Layous-sama is the legendary savior of Forthorthe.”

“No, that’s not what I meant. Both Her Highness and I would trust our lives to Master even if he weren’t the Blue Knight.”

“Ruth...”

Elfaria’s eyes opened wide for an instant before she nodded at Ruth with a smile.

“You’re right. I probably would have entrusted Theia to Layous-sama even if he weren’t the Blue Knight. To that strong and kind, yet timid and cowardly knight...”

Elfaria recalled the way Koutarou suffered trying to escape from the fate laid out for him, and how he desperately tried to protect people in spite of it. That was why she trusted him. She knew his strong and proud heart had been forged through that suffering. Whether Koutarou was the legendary Blue Knight or not wasn’t all that relevant.

Is Her Majesty’s trust for Master because he’s a knight, or is it because he’s Master...?

Getting a sense of Elfaria’s implicit trust in Koutarou, a certain question arose in Ruth’s mind. Maybe she too had fallen for him twenty years ago. She had a sneaking suspicion, and decided she wanted to confirm it.

“Your Majesty, I am aware that this is impolite, bu―”

“Mother, Ruth, come over here!”

However, before Ruth could ask, Theia suddenly appeared and dragged them off.
