Chapter 128
“Sir Elisha Maureen is such a great knight that even the knights of the Empire respect it!”
It was also a story that was boasting about his grandfather.
“If you think that such a great knight-sama is in this small kingdom, doesn’t it feel like a short distance?”
The Princess came right in front of the portrait and raised her head tightly.
As she looked at his grandfather with longing eyes, she turned away.
“It’s really cool.”
Elisha looked down at the little girl’s side profile.
. . . Maybe she’s not a bad Princess.
He kind of felt that way.
“Sorry, I was only talking about myself. Did you come to see a portrait of your family too? Which family . . .”
Having said that, the Princess who was looking back at Elisha suddenly stopped talking.
“. . .?”
What’s wrong with him?
When Elisha looked at her puzzled face, the Princess pointed her finger in Elisha’s face instead of an answer.
“Ah, I see!”
Her fingering was very rude, but Elisha couldn’t point it out.
He did the same thing to his grandfather a little while ago.
“Are you a Maureen?”
Surprisingly, it was surprising that the Princess got the correct answer.
Is it possible that his mother had told the Princess?
“You look alike.”
But the answer the Princess came up with was different.
She looked at him and the portrait alternately, and grinned wildly.
“There are so many similarities, anyone will know.”
“. . .”
Elisha became a little shy, so he turned his gaze away.
But it wasn’t because he thought the Princess was good.
He simply liked it very much that someone said that he resembled his grandfather.
“. . . Thank you.”
As he bowed to the compliment, a sound came from the Princess’s mouth.
No, from her stomach.
Growl..
The girl’s face, who had only been cheerful before, was full of embarrassment.
She clasped her stomach with both her hands and was at loss.
He felt pity for some reason, and handed her the candy he had just put in his pocket.
“But I . . . I can’t eat food that comes from outside.”
The Princess was in trouble, and she did not dare to receive the candy.
As much as that, it seems that she has been told to be very careful.
The Princess was called the only hope, so it’s difficult when she eats poisonous food.
“Well, that’s dangerous . . .”
The Princess swallowed her saliva several times while speaking in grumbling words.
By this time, Elisha also had a slight resentment.
For some reason, he felt the need to hand the candy to this Princess.
He tapped the nearby wall with the candy.
Only after it was broken into pieces, it was peeled.
Elisha took a piece of it and put it in his mouth.
It was to prove that he had no problem eating it.
He then introduced himself as he placed the largest piece on Rieta’s palm.
“I am Elisha Maureen.”
“. . . Elisha?”
Rieta looked at him and alternated with the portrait again.
“Yes, I have received Grandfather’s name. Princess.”
Rieta lightly wrapped the candy he had handed over to her.
“Yes, I will eat it.”
She shoved the candy that Elisha had given her into her mouth in one go.
Those little pieces won’t make her hunger go away, but it’s still very tasty and good.
Since then, Elisha has followed his mother several times to visit Rieta.
He handed her a little bit of food each time, but after his mother caught him, he had no choice but to stop.
“Princess, it is dangerous to eat food that comes from outside. Oh, even if it’s my son.”
Elisha’s mother reminded Rieta of the strict rules as well.
Rieta was apologetic, and she replied,
“Yeah, I know . . . But Elisha is a Maureen.”
Rietta didn’t learn much, but she knew that a man by the name of Maureen was paying great allegiance to this country.
“Even if it’s a Maureen. Princess. You have to be careful.”
“Uhh, but I thought that if a Maureen gave me poison, it would be better for me to eat it quietly.”
To her timid reply, neither Elisha nor his mother could give an answer.
Perhaps they thought they were angry, Rieta quickly apologized.
“Sorry. I never really thought it was poisonous. Ummm . . . Elisha, you don’t need to bring snacks, so will you come over again?”
Of course, after that day, Elisha often went to see Rieta.
Little by little, Princess Rieta broke down the negative conception he had of the royal family.
And one winter day, more time passed.
Elisha rested his forehead on the back of Rieta’s hand in front of a portrait of his grandfather.
“. . . Why all of a sudden?”
When Rieta asked a question with surprise, Elisha thought a little before answering.
“Because the Princess said she would return it.”
It was more than simply returning the portrait’s position.
“Are you going to return it? Princess.”
Elisha knew it was a bit impudent, but he glanced up at Rieta and asked.
