◇　◇　◇

Around noon of the same day, in the Rubia Kingdom bordering the southwest of Paladia, one boy slept on in the royal castle.

“...”

Beside the bed where Kikuchi Renji slept, First Princess Sylvie sat in a chair and gazed out the window. Just then, someone knocked on the door to the room.

“Enter,” Sylvie called towards the door.

The door was ajar to begin with, but it opened slowly at Sylvie’s voice. A female knight stood in the doorway—it was Elena, the commander of Sylvie’s personal guard.

Sylvie took one glance at Elena’s face. “Elena. What is it?”

“Your meal is ready. I came to show you to the dining hall.”

“No thanks. I have no appetite.”

Elena’s brows furrowed in worry for Sylvie. “You’ve already skipped breakfast today, and you barely ate anything last night.”

“I can’t help it if I don’t have an appetite,” Sylvie replied tiredly.

“In that case, please go outside and move around. There’s no appetite to be gained staying inside this room all day.”

“No. Renji might wake up while I’m gone.”

“Princess Sylvie, please leave the nursing to the servants. Why do you have to trouble yourself over a man like this...?” There was a tone of disapproval in Elena’s voice.

“You’re speaking out of line. Renji is a hero,” Sylvie said with a bitter smile.

“I still cannot believe that this man is a hero... His reckless actions placed Your Highnesses in so much danger,” Elena complained with a stern look.

It was three days ago that Renji had tailed Sylvie and Reiss, crashing her reunion with Estelle. There, Renji lost to Lucius and had his limbs cut off in what was a crushing defeat.

Renji had probably intervened thinking he was helping Sylvie by saving Estelle, but the situation wasn’t that simple. A small kingdom like Rubia couldn’t oppose a large nation like the Proxia Empire. It would be one thing to retrieve Estelle secretly, but rescuing the hostage in front of Reiss was equivalent to declaring war on the Proxia Empire.

In other words, Renji’s actions had been far too thoughtless. Because of his actions, Sylvie had been forced to make a choice—whether to oppose Proxia, or join sides with Proxia.

But Sylvie was unable to deny Proxia. She thrust aside Renji and left him to fight Lucius alone.

If I had chosen to fight alongside him and save Estelle...

Would the result have differed? Could Renji have avoided being defeated? These were the only thoughts that had filled her mind for the past three days.

“We would have eventually had to make a choice between siding with Galarc or crossing sides to Proxia. The fact our kingdom has changed sides is still unknown too—it’s merely an agreement between Reiss and me, so there’s still a chance of saving Estelle.” Sylvie’s mouth was twisted bitterly as she spoke.

“What if Reiss makes further demands next time, though? This man has also become part of the Proxia Empire. He made a pact with Reiss himself. If we are to face the Proxia Empire in the future, then this man...”

...May end up becoming your enemy.
