Silk, we had a lot of fun this time.

　I smiled at Silk sitting in front of me in the swinging carriage.

　I had lived in the royal castle ever since I was born. Thanks to the fact that I was born the third princess, I could hardly go shopping in the city.
　I had to do everything in the castle, and I could only watch the city unfold from the windows of the castle.
　I was introduced to Miss Silk, the second daughter of Duke Eric, since she was the same age as I was, and we often played together at the castle from the time I was three years old.
　Silk also thought it was lonely that she couldn't play with me every day, as her home was a few days away from the royal capital, where the Malbeek territory was located.
　After celebrating his fifth birthday, he asked his father to let him visit Silk's family home. Of course, I was escorted by a maid of honor and a knight of the Kingsguard.
　My heart leapt at the view of the city from the carriage window, and I was impressed by the golden farmland out of the city.
　We arrived at the estate while chatting with Silk, who was heading to the estate with us, and we were allowed to spend a few days in Malbeek territory.
　It was lonely going back to the capital, but at the unveiling, Silk was going to head to the capital with me and we had a nice chat as we went on our way in the carriage.
　We were three days away from King's Landing when the carriage became noisy outside.

'There's a herd of orcs heading this way from three sides! Protect the princess!

　I heard what sounded like an angry voice from outside.

'Telestia-sama, Silk-sama, please hide!'

　Yes, said Marta, the maidservant riding in the carriage.

'Yes, what, what, what happened?'

　The maidservant's impatient voice startled me.

'It looks like a demon attack. The knights will take them out, so you can hide here in peace.'

　The words reassured me a little, but I was so scared that I held hands with Silk and we both shivered.
　I could hear the noise from outside, like angry voices and a herd running.
　And I couldn't help but look. I saw a herd of orcs coming towards us through the window.
　Silk, who was next to me, stared as well, though he was scared.






'Don't ever pull them close to the carriage!　Place them around the carriage!

There will be more than a dozen orcs on three sides. With this number of people, we can go to ・・・・・・.

"Fight to the death!　We're Kingsguard.　How can you not protect the princess!

　Shouts of anger were flying from outside the carriage.

'Geez!

'The Rot!　You're okay!

・・・・・・


　The captain swings his sword and follows the fallen knight as he cuts into the orc.

''Guffaw.''

　I heard another knight fall behind me.
　When I looked around, I saw that several people were already out of things, and some knights had fallen and were struggling. There were already three of them guarding the carriage.
　The herd of orcs, which was nearly fifty, had been reduced to about thirty, but they were already at their limit.

''So far, ・・・・・・ d*mn it.''

　At that moment, a small child appeared from somewhere and stood holding a sword in one hand.

''I will help you!

　The words were spoken by the child. The child had jumped in amidst a pack of orcs.

'The child should not be in this place!　Run!

　That was the best I could say.
　The child turned his smile to me and released a single word.

'Watch me. It's okay.

　After that, I watched the kid in action.
　He unleashed a series of magic and took down the orcs with such swordplay that I couldn't see his movements.

''What the hell is this kid ・・・・・・?''

　All I could do was watch.

That's it!

　By the time I noticed, the orcs had already been eradicated.


　A child walks over to us. If you look closely, he was wearing the clothes of a nobleman.
　Just look at the magic and swordsmanship and everyone can see that it's not an ordinary child. We can't win very well with our own, but we are on a mission to protect the princess and the duchess, so we point our swords at the child and hold them ready.


'Stay away from the carriage, stop there!


　The child paid for the blood on his sword and then put it away and straightened his posture.

'I'm sorry I'm late. My name is Cain von Silford, and I am the third son of Garum von Silford Gracia. I am the third son of Garum von Silford Gracia.

　Then a knight on a horse calls from further back.


The knight of the frontier count of Garum von Silford Gracia. I'm here to support you, huh? Why is Master Cain here?

　The knights who rushed in from behind looked curiously and looked around.

''And they've taken them all down.

　And a boy called Cain, who seems to be the child of Count Silford Frontier, comes by nearby.


"More importantly, please allow me to heal your wounded knight. I can use my recovery magic.

　I noticed quickly and looked around. Some of the knights were already out of things, but there was breath in a few of them.
　I walked up to the fallen knights.


'Area High Heels'


　That Cain boy chanted.
　The fallen knight was healing from his injuries as he looked at me. I'm sure you'll find that the parts that were hurting also disappeared before you knew it. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about it. What kind of child is this ......?

　When I thought that, a carriage guarded by a few knights followed. I'm sure that the carriage's coat of arms is undoubtedly that of Silford frontier earl.
　All the knights who came to support me are lining up.
　And then a familiar figure gets out of the carriage.


"The Earl of the Frontier, Garm von Silford Gracia. That carriage's coat of arms appears to belong to the Duke of Santana's family. Are you safe?

　With those words, I realized that I had survived.

　The captain of the Kingsguard calls out to the carriage.

''Princess, I hope Miss Silk is safe, help has arrived and the demons have been destroyed. Please be at ease.




　The two of us, Silk and I, had been watching.
　As the knights fell, a boy appeared out of nowhere and defeated the orcs with magic and a sword.
　I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to find out what's going on in the world.
　What a beautiful sword technique. Even though he's only a child about my age, he moves like a flowing stream to slay the orcs. I couldn't take my eyes off the boy.


　The maidservant opened the door for me and supported me to get out of the carriage with Silk.
　When I got out of the carriage, I saw someone I recognized from the King's Castle. It was the frontier earl Garum.
　He was surprised that I was riding in the duke's carriage, so he suddenly dropped to his knees and thanked his subjects.
　The boy who had saved us also thanked us.

'It's a pleasure to see you, Princess Telestia, Miss Silk, safe.

"Dear Mr. Garum Frontier, thank you for saving my life in such a dangerous situation.

　The fact that Garum-sama is here gives me some relief, but I still can't stop shaking from the fear I had earlier.
　Still, I couldn't help but look at the boy who helped me, because I was curious about him.


''Cain, over here is the third princess, Lady Telestia Terra Esfort, and Lady Silk von Santana, the daughter of Duke Santana's daughter,''

　You were introduced to the boy by Garum-sama, you are called Cain-sama. I will never forget it.
　The boy looked slightly surprised, and then he stood up and introduced himself.


I am the third son of Garum von Silford Gracia next to you, Cain von Silford. I'm glad to hear that Princess Telestia and Lady Silk are safe. I apologize for the short notice, but may I cast a spell?

　Huh? Magic? I saw it earlier and it made me a little upset.

　calming down.

　As soon as Master Cain cast his magic, me, Silk and even the handmaidens were enveloped in light.
　As the light disappeared, the fear and trembling I had felt earlier disappeared and I felt calm.

'I think this calms me down,'

　The smile on Cain-sama's face as he said that made me unable to take my eyes off him. I could even see my own cheeks turning red.


''Master Cain, this is Telestia Terra Esfort. Thank you for saving me from a dangerous situation. I was very scared. I thought it was the last time I would ever see you again.

　I couldn't help but shake Master Cain's hand. It might be the first time I've held the hand of someone other than my parents or siblings.

'Oh, that's not fair!　Mr. Cain, let me thank you as well. I was watching from the carriage window. He shot his magic with the force of a gale, and his swordplay was cool.

　Silk has come out too. Oh, the hand I was holding was taken by Silk.

''I thought this was the last time you and Silk would be alone with the knights who were protecting you as they fell. It's a good thing that you have a lot of experience in this field. I couldn't help but admire your magic and sword skills.


　After that, I made an effort not to express on my face that I was to go to the royal capital with Master Cain, but I couldn't help but feel my cheeks loosen up.

　We were told to go into the carriage to dispose of the demons and the corpses of the knights who had protected me, and we were told to go inside and wait.

'Master Cain: ......'

　The face of Cain-sama from earlier appeared in my brain, and Silk reacted to the words I unintentionally muttered.

''Teres, you're crazy about Cain-sama~''

　I found myself turning red in the face when Silk told me.
　After a few moments, the knight informed me that we were leaving.
　I couldn't help but call out to him from the carriage, hoping to talk to Master Cain a little more.


''Can I have a moment, I'm not comfortable with the two of us, so I'd like to have Cain-sama stay with us in our carriage.


　Garum-sama was puzzled by that as expected, but he managed to admit it.

''I understand. Cain, get in the carriage over there.

...... Got it.

　First, I took Master Cain to the middle of the back seat and I sat down next to him, and then I saw that Silk was sitting on the other side of him.
　Then I saw that even Silk was sitting on the other side of Master Cain!

　Two adults can sit side by side in these chairs, so it's not too small for three kids in a row.
　Master Cain has a somewhat frustrated look on his face.
　I thought such a face was nice.

''It will be tight if the three of you line up, so why don't I sit in the front seat?

　Cain-sama made such a suggestion, but there was no way he would approve it when I could sit beside him.
　As it is, I crossed my arms without thinking.
　I may be too aggressive. ......

It's not fair. Me too!

　Silk is also entangled in Cain-sama's other arm.
　When I stayed at the town on the way to the hotel, I was forced to share a room with Mr. Cain, even though I was alone with Silk. As expected, I was asked to go outside when I was changing, but I couldn't help but smile when I saw Master Cain sleeping on the bed next to me.

　I already enjoyed talking with Master Cain so much that when we arrived at the capital today, I couldn't help but ask him to call me "Therese". Even Silk calls me that, right?

　The fun time flew by and we arrived at the royal capital. Master Cain had to go straight to the Kingsguard, so they had to say goodbye there.

　When I entered the royal castle with Silk, we were both ushered into the reception room where your father was having a meeting.
　I have to apologize to your father for causing you concern.


''Father, I'm sorry for causing you concern at this time.''

It's all right. Thank God you're both alive and well, Teres.

　After that, we talked about what had been going on. I was so happy to talk about Cain-sama that I may have exaggerated a bit. Still, from my point of view, that figure looked more like a prince than anyone else anywhere else.

　Your father and Duke Eric were both sighing.


I have heard that Miss Silk was attached to Cain, the man who saved her.

　I can see for myself that your father's words made my face turn bright red. When I glanced next to her, I saw that Silk's face was also bright red.

The two of you can see by the expression on your faces that you're not quite so crazy about it.

　Prime Minister Magna looks at us and says, "If you take in Mr. Cain, why don't you tell him which one of us should be the betrothed?

'Assuming you take in Mr. Cain, why don't you ask one of us to be your betrothed?

　It was a shock to me to hear your father say that.
　I didn't know that he was engaged to my prince, Cain, .......
　I raised my hand and answered immediately.


I would like to be.

　My voice met with Silk next to me.
　Silk and I looked at each other and we both blushed even more when we saw each other.


'That's how much of a boy you are, Cain,'

Eric, is that what you want?

　Father and Duke Eric-sama were both nodding at each other.
　After that, the three of us, including Prime Minister Magna Vizier-sama, looked somewhat suspicious, but my heart was filled with the fact that Cain-sama and I were going to be able to marry in the future.
