“Good Morning, Pryde.”\n

The door to my room opened. It was a refreshing morning and everything that occurred yesterday seemed like a dream now.\n

“Good Morning, Stayle.”\n

I could feel a bit of pain in my joints here and there. While thinking that it must be muscle strain due to what happened yesterday, I greeted back with a smile on my face.\n

“And Good Morning to you as well, Tiara.”\n

“Good Morning, Elder Sister”** (Eunie: This is probably the first time I’ll mention this, but Tiara’s been calling Pryde, ‘Anee-sama’, which is like what they used to use back in the olden days. Tbh I’ve only heard this use in an edo/samurai themed show. Like Aniue**)\n

With a bright smile on her face, Tiara greeted me as she grasped the hem of my skirt. \n

...It’s been like this since yesterday.\n

“Tiara, I think it's about time for you to let go…”\n

The moment I tried to gently pry her hand off my dress, Tiara’s face suddenly twisted in sorrow. \n

“But Elder Sister will...once again…”\n

After saying that much, she looked like she was about to cry, which made me flustered. I looked over at Stayle for help, but with a deadpan look on his face, instead of helping me, he ended up encouraging her. “That’s good, Tiara. Do it some more.” \n

Because of the incident that occurred yesterday with the Knights, Tiara wasn’t allowed to go to the training grounds, and all she can do is wait in her room for our return.\n

When I returned from the battlefield yesterday, Tiara was there to welcome me back along with my maids, Lotte and Mari, the guards, Jack and the others, my teacher, Karl-sensei, and then there’s Stayle, Vice-Captain Clark, and the knights.\n

I also caught a glimpse of the Captain’s son peeking out from behind them.\n

The moment Tiara saw the muddy, messy, and unkempt state I was in, she started crying and bounded towards me. With pale faces, my servants and the guards immediately tried to urge me back to my room\n

And as I looked over at Stayle, I did worry him a lot, so I mentally braced myself. \n

But he only looked at me with a vacant expression on his face...though it does look like he’s a little angry, but then he immediately ran towards my side and held me tightly in his arms.\n

Unlike Tiara, whose head is only around my waist, Stayle is around the same height as me. I felt myself tightly enveloped within Stayle’s embrace.\n

“...You said it was going to be okay…….are you hurt…?”\n

I unconsciously hugged him back upon hearing his hoarse-like voice.\n

Even though I promised myself that I wouldn’t let him suffer.\n

“I’m sorry...but I’m alright. Look, I don’t have any injuries, and as you can see, I’m still full of energy. I just rolled around a little, so I’m covered with mud.”\n

After saying that, I smiled to show them that all was well, but it seems like I only made it worse since both Stayle and Tiara’s arms tightened their hold on me.\n

“Just who is ‘alright’...?! To think you’d act so rashly...just one wrong move and everything could have ended-…”\n

Stayle’s voice wavered. When I tried to move a bit and peek at his face, I saw tears welling in his eyes. It’s been a while since I saw Stayle’s child-like crying expression. \n

He probably witnessed everything that happened on the battlefield while he was there in the war room.\n

And then Tiara, who didn’t see the things that happened, suddenly started bawling her eyes out as she heaved with sobs.\n

Oh, that’s right. They may have both grown up splendidly, but they were still ten and nine years old. They’re both way younger than me, and they were still kids.\n

But the moment I felt the warmth of their embrace...I could suddenly feel my body tremble as relief washed over me. The thoughts, ‘Yes, I am alive,’ and, ‘I was able to return to them,’ crossed my mind.\n

Yes. Perhaps it’s just like what Stayle said. One wrong move and everything would have gone awry; I could have died. Just the thought of it... I could feel a powerful fear well up inside me, more intense than what I felt while I was inside the dome.\n

I tightly hugged both of them to keep myself from trembling.\n

“I’m sorry...I promise I’ll be more careful next time.”\n

“I won’t do it again”...I couldn’t promise that. \n

There was no telling what evil things I might have to do in the future. I might even hurt you both.\n

However, if it was to avoid that even just a little bit... if it was for that reason, I don’t mind sacrificing myself for it.\n

“Pryde-sama.”\n

I turned my head to one side, and there I saw Vice-Captain Clark and the knights.\n

“Vice-Captain...I’m really sorry for causing everyone trouble.”\n

I already apologized a while ago, but I decided to say it once more. \n

The Vice-Captain closed his eyes once again, and as if swallowing down some words he wanted to say, he then nodded at me.\n

“...But if you didn’t foresee the collapse of the cliff, a lot of knights would not have been saved. From the bottom of our hearts, we are thankful for the help you provided along with your cooperation in replenishing the supplies. ...We would like to formally request an audience with you, together with the Captain, at a later date.”\n

“Yes, definitely.”\n

It’s most likely because it would be inconvenient if we were to have one right now, and even if I had issued a gag order, it would only cause spite and unrest from the others. That’s why the sooner we settle things, the better it would be for us.\n

After agreeing with the Vice-Captain, I told him that we could hold one tomorrow as long as they were ready since it was better if we could settle things before Mother and Father return.\n

Immediately after that, my maids, Lotte and the others took me away together with Jack and the other guards while the knights sent me off. \n

That was how things were concluded after I left. \n

And then…\n

I headed back to my room, took a bath, and changed my clothes. During dinner and bedtime, right up to this morning when I woke up…\n

Tiara was sticking close to me.\n

Though as expected, Stayle, who was a boy, wasn’t able to do the same. Usually, he would step in and stop Tiara, but this time around he didn’t even bother to do so.\n

Even right now, on our way to the dining room to have breakfast, Tiara would not budge as she continued to stick right next to me.\n

Thinking that it couldn't be helped since I did end up worrying them a lot, I gave in and held out a hand towards her and said, “The material of the dress will get damaged, so why don’t we just hold hands?” \n

She gladly reached out for my hand and clasped it with hers. From time to time, I do think I’m soft-hearted towards my little sister.… \n

...Probably.\n

After having breakfast, I heard a report from the Knight's Order requesting an audience today if my schedule would allow it. \n

As expected of the Knight’s Order, they were a force to be reckoned with. Furthermore, they were also requesting that the Captain’s son be allowed to join us. \n

I still don’t know why they were requesting it, but he is one of the affected parties who were there when it happened.\n

After acknowledging their request, I immediately replied with a confirmation along with the venue and time.\n

\n\n\n\nEunie: \n

next chapter is a long one...(；ﾟДﾟ)\n

**This is probably the first time I’ll mention this and it's more like a fun fact but Tiara’s been calling Pryde,兄様 =‘Anee-sama’ which is like what they use back in the olden days or i just rarely hear someone use it now -_-". Like 'Aniue' or 'aneue'. it was surprising for me 'cause i really thought it's gonna be 'onee-sama' and that seems to fit her image more....but nope... cute little tiara's been calling her 'anee-sama' •|龴◡龴|•\n\n\n\n
