When Flora gave a response with a troubled look, Alexei smiled faintly. And, standing up, he slowly offered his hand to Flora.
Floraās eyes widened, but she took Alexeiās hand and slowly stood up assisted.
Ahh, big brother, youāre wonderful! The two of you are as beautiful as a painting!
I wonder⦠Whatās going to happen from now onā¦
Even though I donāt think there was a route that allowed you to capture my big brotherā¦But he didnāt show up for this event in the game, either. Since he came running in like this, is this the start of a new route?
I was a disappointing girl whose love life was her dark history, so Iāve got no hope if the story diverges from the gameās flow.
If thatās the case, as happy as I am for my brother, Iāll feel a bit lonely⦠even though I was happy to be reincarnated as my brotherās sister, I wish I had at least tried to capture him in my previous life.
My heart almost jumped out of my throat at the voice that came out of nowhere. At some point, it seemed that Mikhail had arrived and had ever since been standing by my side.
Ahh, Iām sorry, prince! I completely forgot about your existence!
Thereās no way I can let him find out about this!
While I was thinking that, I noticed Mikhailās eyes had a glimmer in them.
It didnāt seem that he was angry but rather amused⦠Why does it feel like he knows what Iām thinking right nowā¦
āWhen people find out that the Yurinovas are officially the shield of the Lady of the Cerny Family, her school life should become peaceful. Even if you donāt always keep an eye on her, sheāll be safe.ā
Prince⦠So you knew that Flora was being bullied. Even though youāre the royal prince, youāre truly a down-to-earth person.
That reminds me, even when he talked to me before, I did think of him as a sharp-eyed person.
While I mused on that, I realized. The princeās uniform was caked with dust.
Oh no⦠itās from the wall of earth from earlier! I was trying to protect my brother and the prince from the demonic beast, but I ended up not being able to control it and it collapsedā¦
āYour Highness, I truly apologize.ā
Ekaterina anxiously tried to dust off Mikhailās uniform.
If I think about it now, that wall was completely unnecessary huhā¦
My brother and the prince couldāve probably handled it better on their own.
If anything, it only helped the beast by giving it a leverage to leap from, and because I lost control of it, it collapsed on top of them, rendering it impossible for them to release their magicā¦
I just put myself in trouble, thatās all. How absolutely uselessā¦
āYour Highness, I am truly grateful that someone of your stature came to help. But even so, I ended up doing something so impoliteā¦ā
I mumbled despondently. And then, Mikhail began to grin.
āWell, I had received something delicious from you prior to this incident after all. Your cooking is truly something precious.ā
⦠So this is the power of feeding someone.
Well, even though itās actually probably due to the rules of the game. In the game, itās scripted that the prince would come and save the heroine, so thatās probably why.
āAdditionally, Alexei and I are currently training for magic battles. We also have experience of engaging with magical beasts in battles. Since you donāt have that kind of training yourself, of course youād run out of magic at that point.ā
Uu⦠I donāt know if youāre covering for me or attacking meā¦
Say, hold on a second. Whaddaya think youāre doinā, takinā care of magical beasts when youāre first in line for succession ān all!
