"Was it your studies that made you tired, Alicia?"」
"In the case of the princess, her slacking habit in the past was her curse.”」
In the relentless thrust of the waiting woman who entered, Alicia came to "MU" (TL: pout) by sticking out her lovely lips. Inside, Clovis also had a bitter smile.
By the way, in the early days, Clovis, who seemed to judge that "Annie despised his master" because her words were so honest, immediately threw a black aura toward Annie, and Alicia became more determined.
Alicia herself yearns for her as her older sister, and explains many times that it is because she truly believes in Alicia that Annie"s mouth is so honest, and the young Advisor is finally convinced.
"You probably don"t know Lord Clovis, but Alicia is famous for her dislike of studying. The princess has escaped! "All Handmaidens, chase the Princess.......Well, it was before Lord Clovis was here.”」
“What is it? However, it is only natural for the brilliant Alicia to be aware of the importance of her studies and to be taken seriously. Yeah, even as a short acquaintance, I can guess as soon as I see that.”」
…... The two of Alicia"s trusted servants have been fighting using their tongues with a smile on their face, but Alicia has decided not to worry about this because of the familiar sight.
"But I see. Because I do not know the Princess’s background so far, new knowledge also does not enter the mind.”」
As he stood up, he took up a thick book from Alicia"s desk and began to check it out. It is strangely erotic to cross a long leg and lean over a window and turn over a book, as if it were a model of a painting of a royal family.
By the way, after Clovis became attached to Alicia, the women who worked in the castle were very colorful. Especially the young Court ladies, they were wandering around the a.s.sistant"s office even though they had no use, it was a headache for the Court Lady.
(If you get along a bit more, I would like to ask also about love circ.u.mstances by all means）
While wearing only a solemn face, Alicia decided to do such a thing secretly.
Now, the book that Clovis is looking through is a history book of the kingdom that has been compiled based on various records. After pa.s.sing through the eyes in a light tone it spelled with a detailed character, the black-haired youth lifted the corner of his mouth to raise the face.
"Although it does not extend to being an actual tutor, if it is a matter of history and current affairs, this Clovis might be able to become a power of the Princess.”」
Really!? Clovis nodded with a smile to Alicia, who was impetuous.
"Once pieces of knowledge was hammered while at the Royal Academy. As long as you supplement the contents along with the book, I can help.”」
"If Clovis is going to help us, there"s nothing more rea.s.suring. Hey, Annie!”」
“Yes, I agree.”」
For some reason, the handmaiden who replied with a reading stick was left behind, and Alicia immediately asked a lot of questions to the aide who became a dependable tutor.
Dark and dark.
In solitude like floating in the cold sea, without a bottom.
The feeling of water that clings to the whole body is frozen heavily, and it takes away the power from the small body. It was suffocating, and when Alicia opened her mouth, she heard a sound, and the air bubbles spilled.
Where is this place?
King James, Court Lady Fourier, and Annie.
I wonder where they left Alicia.
Behind the wall of the shimmering water, the orange light swayed. It unfolds in the middle of nowhere, never transmitting heat, and becomes a circle to surround Alicia.
"Kill, kill the dog of Airdal”
"Kill the filth of Heileland"s pride”
The Voice of many people echoes in the water in accordance with the flickering flame.
It"s cold. I"m scared. I don"t want to hear it.
The distant chorus echoes through the water and does not leave Alicia"s ear.
The concentration of the surrounding water rose, and the roaring hatred covered Alicia. When Alicia raised her face using her frightened sky-blue eyes, she saw blazed black swirling anger and hatred, and Clovis Cromwell was there.
From Alicia"s thin throat, the screams spill. However, it does not become a sound, only to produce a new bubble.
A smile that seems to start crying at any moment, without showing a shining face that is praised, just as a Black Death, Clovis is coolly looking at Alicia as far as he can. Seeing that a dull and shining sword was held in his hand, Alicia tried to escape.
But the murky water that captures Alicia is scarce, and the more you struggle, the more you stuck the princess on the spot. When she realized, the black Shinigami stood in front of her and looked down at Alicia with contempt.
No, Clovis.
As she saw his hand waving a sword, her tears spilled out of her big eyes. But the heartbreaking appeal of the princess is beyond the ears of the Grim Reaper.
With hatred for the eyes of royalty, Clovis Cromwell wielded his sword.
"---- No!！！”」
To the screams echoing in the bedroom, Alicia"s consciousness made an awakening.
The thin chest of a young girl is going up and down for a violent palpitation, and perspiration is wiped all over the whole body from all over the forehead and to the back. As she breathed out, she had an uneasy body, and every disheveled hair of Alicia pressed her forehead.
How many times have you been struck by the same nightmare or by your own screams?
"...... Ms. Alicia?”」
With the sound of a modest knock, Alicia gazed at the thin wooden board with a gasp at the door and a handmaiden"s voice.
"...... What"s wrong, Annie? At such a late time.”」
After repeating deep breaths, I managed to pretend that my voice was calm. On the other side of the door, the waiting woman was silent for a while. Over time, with a voice that regained some softness, Annie replied.
"I felt like I heard the voice of the princess when I accidentally pa.s.sed through the front. Can I get you something to drink?”」
“No. It"s okay. Annie, Get some rest.”」
“Yes, ma’am. Good night, Princess.”」
The footsteps seem to move away, and it is a sign that the handmaiden leaves. After making sure she was far enough away, Alicia limply laid herself on bed.
Every day. The next day after the exchange of words with the angel of the star, you will see the same nightmare every day.
The nightmare shattered and exhausted the spirit of a 10-year-old girl, but more than that, Alicia was infuriated with the content of the dream.
(Sorry...... Clovis.）
While peering into the history book side-by-side, every time Alicia stumbles, I remember a beautiful profile that added a detailed commentary.
Although he is still a follower for only a short period of time, it seems that Alicia, outside of her heart, felt sympathy for the black-haired New Princess Advisor. No matter how many times you are confronted with the dreadful events of the previous life, if you wake up, the figure that you try to do your best with floats into eyes.
Perhaps because Clovis was a special kind of person, he was more loyal to her than Alicia was determined to take his hand. If Alicia doesn"t believe in someone who trusts her so much, then Clovis would be too pitiful.
(Okay, the future will be changed. Changed. Changed. I can change it.）
Closing her eyes, Alicia repeated the wording to recite every time she had nightmares, many times today.

Heyo~ Poor Alicia :(
