“As you wish, my princess”
With those words as his last, the door closed and hid Koutarou.
“Isn't that great, your highness?”
After the door closed, Ruth smiled at Theia. However, Theia herself dropped her slender shoulders.
“...I should have said something more encouraging...”
Theia had seen Koutarou off by saying something selfish. Theia regretted her actions.
“Fufu... you can just say them when you meet again”
“That's true... If we meet, I'll do just that”
Theia showed a small smile and narrowed her eyes.
Since she was about to jump into a trap of her own volition, chances are that she wouldn't get that chance.
But thanks to that, Theia found a reason for why she had to win no matter what.
She would struggle and fight to meet with Koutarou once more and say something more princess-like.
A strong determination filled Theia's small chest.
