"You still hate me enough to want to kill me?"
Alicia’s question was dissolved into the water. The aide did not answer, and he slowly raised a dull glowing sword as usual.
Oh, yeah. I"m destined to be killed by this one.
That"s when I gave up and closed my eyes.
"You look a little tired, but let"s report it together tomorrow.”
"If it"s about history or current affairs, this Clovis might be a power to the Princess.”
"Now, please get off of that location. If by any chance you are blown by the wind, it will be horrible if Alicia fell!”
”I will give everything to you, and serve you, dear Alicia.”
Looking straight at Alicia with clear eyes similar to an amethyst, the figure of the young aide who said the words of the oath was revived in the back of her eyelid, Alicia then opened her eyes.
"You can"t kill me.”
Usually he has a cool mind and eyes that float with a very warm aura.
He seemed to be calm or unperturbed, but in fact is rather impatient.
There is also a cowardly and fragile side of him trying to be a perfect man.
For the second time in her life, Alicia has seen a lot of different faces of Clovis Cromwell.
Is it because of the blessing from her previous life to live again?
"I command you as the princess. Serve me and help change the future.”
Alicia reached out to the aide who was about to swing his sword. There was no fear in her eyes, and they held a strong light.
“I will change the world you hated for the future of this country you grieved for. So take this hand.”
With his sword near his face, his cold eyes looked at Alicia. Still Alicia, reached for the man in a n.o.ble manner, then cried out.
"Take my hand, Clovis! You are my aide!！？”
As soon as the liquid was squeezed, the body of Alicia was enveloped in clear and clear water. The beautiful aide let down his sword.
In the beautiful face of Clovis, a gentle smile comes to mind. Alicia"s hands, fascinated by his purple eyes, gently touched Clovis"s white thin fingers.
When the two hands were firmly connected, Alicia"s consciousness was awakened.
“Princess Alicia?”」
Wherever she was, Alicia blinked slowly. Alicia soon realized that she was lying in her bed.
And, looking over her in a warm feeling that enveloped her right hand, Alicia opened her eyes of sky-blue.
“Clovis.......?”」
"Please do not overdo it. Do you remember? You fainted at The Hall of Time.”」
Clovis’s big hand supported the back of Alicia who just woke up. Meanwhile, the opposite hand remains connected as if trying to protect the girl.
Perhaps the aide had completely forgotten. Clovis, who noticed Alicia"s gaze, immediately began to panic, remembering that he was still holding the hand of the Princess.
“This is ... ......! I"m sorry!”」
"Do not let go!"」
Clovis surprised, raised his face to the sharp order of Alicia. His cool purple eyes widened seeing the face of Alicia.
"Why are you crying?”」
“What?”」
For the first time, she noticed a large teardrop. Then hot drops overflowed from behind it, and made a big stain on the sheet without a sound.
Clovis’s eyebrows tensed together in worry to his mistress who started crying suddenly. Hesitantly, with his rough fingers, he gently wiped away Alicia"s tears.
"Would you mind relying on me?"」
Trying to hold back her tears, the throat of Alicia rang. As if that was the expectation, Clovis’s finger firmly brushed her eyes, this time not hesitating.
"Please do not take it all alone. When you"re crying, I can"t stay or stand back doing nothing.”」
"............ Huh?”」
Alicia let her voice out. A small sob leaked, and then the Princess cried like a child. While wiping the tears overflowing with both hands without stopping, the back of Alicia who cried out, was repeatedly supported by big and warm hands many times.
I"ve been alone for a long time.
However, once it broke, I could not suppress my true feelings anymore.
"...... I had a dream........”」
“Yes.”」
"In the dream, I am hated by all.”」
“Yeah.”」
“Hated, alone, dead.......!”」
No, no.
After a big shake, Alicia vomited out at once.
"I will be killed in the future. No, in the future, I died once. And I was reborn.”」
Just now, I remembered the memory of my verge of death.
In my previous life, I was the Queen of this country.
That I was killed as a Poison Rose of this crumbling country.
That the future was entrusted to me by the Star Envoy.
―- Indeed, I avoided the fact that the person who claimed my life was Clovis. But before I realized, most of the things I had sworn to never tell anyone, I had confided to the young man in front of me.
While speaking, except for nodding several times, Clovis did not say a word. When I finished talking, my head gradually cooled down, and in my heart, a feeling of regret began to sprout.
Clovis must have thought Alicia as a weird Princess.
Now laugh, if you want to laugh.
Clovis saw Alicia, who shut herself up, and seemed to infer the thoughts of the princess, and the aide laughed.
“You think I don"t believe you.”」
"I think it"s absurd.”」
Alicia bluntly turned away from him, trying to hide her red eyes. As a result, the hand covering her right hand became stronger.
“I believe in your words.”」
"...... No.”」
“I won"t lie to you.”」
"Lies!”」
Alicia shouted, tears and wet eyes surely glared at Clovis. However, Clovis shook his head slowly, leaving his mistress depressed by his earnest eyes.
"You are not the kind of person who says such things without reason. Besides, in front of me in reality you are suffering.That"s all there is to it.”」
From Alicia"s eyes, new tears abound.The face of a beautiful man who was in front of her, seemed to overlap with the gentle smile that she saw in her dream.
"I swear to give everything to you.―- I will change the future that torments Alicia. I am your aide.”」
I told you. The future can change.
I felt like I heard the voice of the star who laughed my ears when I cried again.
