131-Episode 40: Good spoiling (berry perspective)




 I - Lady Beatrixine of Luxon was flying in the sky.
 To be precise, the person flying was a mysterious woman who called herself Elise. She sprouted wings from her back, and all I could do was hold her in my arms.
 And from far up in the sky, I was watching Rei and Lord Magnus fighting in the forecourt of the castle.
 This is what Elise meant by the "special seat".

 At first, it was already "too high! You're too scary! And don't tell anyone that I was desperately trying to resist the urge to cling to Ellis with the Lady's body, because I was panicking inside.
 From the middle of the game, I was absorbed in Ray's dignified and tremendous fighting style, though.
 Oh, after all, it's also something I can't talk about.

 Anyway, Ray and Lord Magnus worked together and successfully defeated the Magic Bullet General.
 The same goes for Eldora, who has turned into a demon and is a rebel.
 Even though I was pleased with his performance, I couldn't help but say it.

It's not just a matter of time before he got the ability to do so. Just a short while ago, he was practicing alone in the backyard with the knights.
Ugh, boys get all tough and tough with just a second glance. But only if he's a good guy.

 Ellis said in a teasing tone.

'You have an eye for a knight (cousin), don't you, princess?'
'It's true that Ray had his highlights, but I have to confess, I'm surprised he's grown so much.
So, now the princess has to polish up her woman, right? Don't let your knight get away with it.
'You make it so easy for me!
So, would you like me to give you some advice, sister?

 And Ellis takes an increasingly ridiculous tone.

It's a good thing that men are usually so bossy and rotten, but they really want to spoil their women. That's why you should do what you need to do, but at the same time, you should spoil them. They will listen to what you say. On the other hand, women shouldn't really spoil a man. Pretend to be pampered and show off your cuteness and satisfy your man's self-esteem. That's how you can control it. Do you understand?
'Very straightforward, but at the same time, I feel like my mind has been polluted...'

 I'm aware that I'm a reasonably high calculator as far as public servants are concerned, but when it comes to the subtleties of men and women, I'm not quite there yet.... After all, I have zero experience.

In the meantime, you've fulfilled your obligations, so please tell Ray that you don't owe him anything.
I understand. You are a stinky person, but I have you to thank for that. Lord Ellis.
"Uh-huh, can you call me a dangerous woman?

 Ellis was only frightened to the end.

'Well, then, an inspiring feast!

 Then he threw me from the sky.



 I was so surprised that my mind went blank.

I'm going to die! You're dying! I'm going to die for this!

 The ground in the vestibule is gung-ho, while you are talking about such things.
 I can't give you any grace or even time to look at the running lights that I hear about.

''No more eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

 And just when I was about to exclaim.

Watch out, Belly!

 I saw Ray leap to a ridiculous height towards me.
 The pretty maid summoned (?) The mithril golem seems to have combined the force of its hands with the force of Ray's own kicking and leaping as it crosses its arms and tosses them over its head.
 And then Ray takes me in his arms in a diagonal trajectory, and lands on the ground in a parabolic pattern.
 It was such a light gesture that it didn't even make a landing sound.

".........ze.......ze......you're saved......ze.... ...Ray....

 I was breathing heavily and still trembling.

Why did you fall from the sky?
It's a long story, so can I tell you another time...?

 And I have to give you a message from Ellis, too.

 Speaking of messages, I could feel his warmth from the way he touched Ray, and with that, a feeling of being alive spread through my chest.

 Then I realized with a start.
 I was in this position, being held by Ray, the so-called princess.
 I'm also in this position, clinging to him in fear.

 I blushed and blushed.
 Even Ray saw that and blushed.

I'm sorry, Berry! I'll drop you off now!
No!
What, no?

 I'm too weak to stand up.
 I wouldn't even stand up if they cut me off.

Let's not stay up for a while.
Uh-huh.

 Ray was perplexed, but did as he said.
 No matter how slender I am, I am the weight of one person. It's not light by any means, but Ray doesn't seem to mind at all and supports me firmly.
 

The defeat of the Magic Bullet General and Eldora was brilliant. Ray.
Oh, I saw...
That's my knight. I was so proud of you, weren't I?
Ha, that's an honor.
I rarely compliment people. So you should be really flattered, shouldn't you?

 I, too, keep quiet and let Ray take care of things for a while.

 The maids that Lord Magnus has with him have been chilling out and were very angry.

    ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇ ◇.

 However, I can't stay in high spirits forever.
 In fact, I can't escape from reality.

 Yes, that's right.
 It's time for me to face up to this painful reality.

 I am grateful for Lord Magnus' suggestion to take us to safety, but I turn my head from side to side and decide to ride into the castle with Ray.

 There were still many demons inside the castle.
"This is the end of the young knights who sold their souls to the "Magic Bullet General".
 They were battling our Luxun soldiers in various parts of the castle.
 These are the brave soldiers on the front lines that Lord Magnus had borrowed from General Georg.

 On the other hand, the soldiers who usually served in the castle and the Kingsguard knights who did not take part in Eldora's rebellion were lying here and there as corpses.
 It should be called martyrdom.
 But I didn't know - in truth - whether it should be sunny or not.
 Because most of those who are dead have died with wounds on their backs, so-called escape wounds.
 So-called escape wounds. Back wounds.
 They must have been cowed by seeing their former colleagues turning into demons, one after another.

 Ray cut down the demons that were still alive, cutting them down as if they were brushing away grass as he went on and on through the castle.
 Our destination was the audience hall where your father's throne is located.

 The hall was also a sea of blood.
 I gasped for breath.

 I found your father's body, from which he had tried to escape, but was unable to do so.
 I saw the body of my brother Ruizel, who had fought to free our father, but had fallen short.

 Elise was right when she said that there was no one left of the Grand Duke's family left but me.
 I had been prepared for this.
 No, I thought I was.
 But when I saw it in real life, I couldn't help but smile at my knees.

'Do you remember me, Ray?'
What's that?
You were making a hypothetical statement about what would happen if the Magellanic General were to invade the castle.
...Yeah. It was.
I told him that one of his older brothers would get out safely and Luxon would be safe and sound.
...or was it?
I'm just a girl in a box after all. You have no idea what reality is. No one could get away with it, not one single person.
...because demons are the scariest people you can imagine.
Ray isn't very good at comforting me.

 I smiled and told Ray to turn his back to me.
 I smiled and told him to turn his back to me and I pressed my forehead against his back.
 I sobbed into the back of a small-looking but strong boy.
 Ray's kindness in pretending not to hear me touched my heart.

 I'm all alone.
 I have to rebuild and support Luxon on my own.

 The words were in my throat more than once.
 I knew in my head that I should follow Eris's advice and indulge my knight.
 But I couldn't be like that.
 That's why I've been stifling my sobs and crying.

 Even if he wasn't an effective politician, he cared for me as a family member, Father!
 The wise and gentle Brother Ruizel!
 And your mother! And the other brothers!

 I clenched my teeth and waited for this stormy sorrow to pass away.
 And then...

'I'm sorry, Berry. I'll take your advice later. Just let me deal with it now.

 Ray's muscular back is swooping away.
 Why?
 Why?
 I look like an abandoned puppy.

 But Ray turned to face me squarely and gently held me in his arms.
 He took me in his arms and wrapped me in his chest with every expression on my face.

I'm the only one who can help you. I'm the only one who can do it. I think it's okay to cry out loud.

 He whispered this in my ear.

''Well I take back what I said earlier. Ray is surprisingly good at comforting you.

 I seriously indulged in his words.
 I cried out loudly and wistfully.

 Father ... mother ... brother ... everyone ...!
