Hearing this proposal, both of them nodded.
『Fine.』(Georg)
『I don’t mind. As long as I can knock you down, then I’m fine with it.』(Castor)
「……My thanks.」(Souma)
『Well then, excuse me.』(Georg)
「Wait!」(Liecia)
When Georg was going to cut the transmission, Liecia who had been silent until then, asked him to stop. Georg narrowed his eyes.
『So it’s the princess…..』(Georg)
「Duke Carmine……」(Liecia)
Even though they had called out each other names, they didn’t speak any other words to each other. They were only looking at each other’s eyes silently. In the castle, they are royalty and retainer; in the army, they are superior and subordinate; in private, they are a man who is respected like a father and a girl who is loved like a daughter. Even though I am ignorant of people’s subtleties, I understood that even with exchanging looks, they could communicate with each other.
The two people were just looking at each other for a moment, but then Liecia suddenly unsheathed the rapier from her waist and then put the blade behind her neck. With a single stroke, she cut off her platinum blonde ponytail. Whuuuuuuuuuuh!?
『『『………』』』
The golden thread-like hair was fluttering down and fell to the floor. Because it was so sudden, not only me but the Three Dukes were also dumbfounded. Out of the blue, Liecia became short-haired, however the person herself showed that she wasn’t bothered by it, and then pointed that rapier towards the orb and proclaimed.
「This is my resolution. I will walk together at Souma’s side.」(Liecia)
Georg who was looking dumbfounded like me, before long started to glare and made a smile similar to a carnivore discovered a prey.
『I have received the Princess’ resolution. In that case, please show your resolution even on the battlefield.』(Georg)
「Certainly!」(Liecia)
Both of them had the face that they had understand each other, somehow. Perhaps it was some kind of communication between warriors that I couldn’t understand, but anyway…… with this, the final warning to the Three Dukes had finished.
