Blanc also followed us well without having to hold the reins separately.

Perez's horse was such a large horse that the meadow overlooking it had a different taste than usual.

It was the quietness that I felt after a long time.

I said, holding my hair fluttering in the wind with one hand.

"Perez, how's everything going?"

There was no answer behind my back.

But I could see that it was an unspoken affirmation.

"It's my job to bring the Brown family back into the aristocracy, but you know it's your job after that, right?"

In my previous life, Perez was able to get through more difficult things and achieve what he wanted.

Even if I don't check, I wonder if he's doing well on his own.

But the Brown family's work was too important for him.

"The timing is important. Everything will have to go as you planned."

I turned around saying that.

And I ran into the red eyes that were looking at me very closely.

"Why?"

Perez asked quietly.

"Why is it so important to you that I become the Crown Prince?"

He was not asking questions.

Perez seemed to be purely curious.

"Did you forget? I was the one who found you in the forest of the Imperial Palace."

I smiled and put my hand on Perez's cheek.

"Yes, that's right."

Perez smiled faintly at me, too.

And slowly lowered his head and kissed my forehead carefully.

I closed my eyes unconsciously to the warmth.

Oh, I'm going to get in trouble again.

I said, pulling myself back halfway quickly.

"Now it's time to get acquainted with Blanc."

That was when I tried to get off the horse.

"Wait."

Perez said, wrapped around my waist strongly.

"Perez?"

Something feels strange.

Perez's face glaring at the empty meadow, where nothing was visible to me.

"We have to get back to the stable."

Perez, who said so, turned around by pulling the reins of his horse strongly.

It was that moment.

Chilling and goosebumps along my back.

Is this the energy of mana that people say?

Sometimes when Perez lifted his sword, the feeling I can feel was getting stronger.

It was exactly focused at the direction Perez looked in.

"Damn it!"

Perez stomped hard into the horse's waist.

"Ugh!"

As the horse was speeding up, my body faltered greatly.

Slap!

Perez spanked Blanc as he ran out.
