I continued flying over the lake while holding Reese, and we arrived at the far bank without any problems.
I could already see the medical facility that Princess Lifell was at; realizing how close we were, I set us down in a small clearing.
We’ve come quite a ways distance from the castle, I confirm that there are no further pursuers using [Search] and a wave of relief surges through me. Now, my concern shifts to the one I kidnapped. She has been staring at me without breaking eye contact ever since I removed the mask hiding my face.
“We have arrived, Reese.” (Sirius)
“…” (Reese)
There is no reaction from her. She is clutching my mask, her face red and hot to the touch.
Could she be fatigued? When I checked her with [Scan], her heart beat was just a bit fast, and her temperature was a little higher than average, but apart from that there were no conspicuous abnormalities.
“What’s wrong Reese? Is there something on my face? (Sirius)
“Fuee!? I-it’s nothing!” (Reese)
“It seems you were scared when I suddenly flew into the sky. Please rest easy, as we are now on the ground once more.” (Sirius)
“I’m not concerned about that! Although this makes me happy, you should let me down now…” (Reese)
Whether she had regained consciousness or not, she was clearly flustered; she was incoherent and had trouble formulating her sentences fully. She quickly looked away, but could not hold it for long, as she soon returned her gaze to me with the same eyes as before.
The gaze felt familiar, and I wondered where I had seen it before. It was certainly during the old days. Starting the day following my in-depth chat with Emilia, I noticed her with the same gaze while she handed me a towel.
“I’m going to drop you down soon, will that be alright? (Sirius)
“J-just a little bit more! I’m still tired from my lack of sleep yesterday… that is…” (Reese)
The normal her would immediately scramble to get down, shy and modest. Yet it’s different today, and though her logic is flawed, I put up with it. Emilia had the same reaction.
And that means…
“Reese, could it be that you…” (Sirius)
“Reese!” (Lifell)
“Reese-sama!” (Senia)
When I was about to ask her, there were voices calling out for Reese from the medical facility. I see Princess Lifell and Senia running our way when I turn to look, and decide to bite my tongue, forcibly putting Reese on the ground.
Though she seemed disappointed when I did this, she quickly turned to run to Princess Lifell. A deeply moving reunion between two loving sisters…
“You… moron of a sister!” (Lifell)
— didn’t happen.
A hand chop from Princess Lifell smacked Reese on the top of her head, instantaneously breaking the tension and ruining the atmosphere. Reese, staring up at her sister, was dumbfounded. She clutched her head with a face that showed both confusion and disbelief.
“Why didn’t you explicitly express your dissatisfaction with this marriage!? Why didn’t you come to me first!? Who asked you to become my replacement!? Though I too thought this marriage was stupid, I can’t look past your idiotic actions!” (Lifell)
“Ane-sama… But I!” (Reese)
“You say that it was for my sake, but it feels like you just ran away from the real problem. You have to be more clear with your feelings in matters like these!” (Lifell)
“I’m… sorry.” (Reese)
“Good grief. But… I’m glad that you’re safe.” (Lifell)
Thereupon, Princess Lifell finally embraced her younger sister closely. At that instant, Reese’s expression collapsed, and she buried her face on her sister’s chest while her body trembled. They stayed like that for a while, until Lifell remembered that she had a few things she wanted to ask of Reese.
“I worried that you wouldn’t be able to properly protect your lips. However, it looks like my worries were for nothing. You are still as beautiful as ever.” (Lifell)
“That is… yes. Thanks to Sirius-san, nothing happened to me.” (Reese)
I met Reese’s gaze when she said that, and though she was blushing, she never looked away. Looking at her sister while she said that, Princess Lifell laughed with a complacent smile and beckoned for me.
“Can I have a minute? Other than kidnapping, what did Sirius-kun do?” (Lifell)
“I didn’t do anything other than carrying her.” (Sirius)
“It’s never going to be as easy as saying you’ve done nothing and getting away free, not when you make a girl look at you like this. You must properly take responsibility.” (Lifell)
