I blinked and then opened my eyes.

The prince was looking straight at me. As if the greenery had been transferred, my image was transparently reflected in his blue-green eyes.

The next moment, a different sense of embarrassment came in.

'Huh?'

My head moved on its own, so I gave out an interpretation of what I just heard.

"So, it's because of me? He's come down here in a hurry by using space-movement magic simply because he's worried about my health?'

"That........."

blink one's eyes hard at the moment, not knowing what to say He spoke out.

"I'm glad to see you're welcome...?"

For some reason, the end went up as if it were a question mark.

The crown prince grinned. I couldn't immediately understand why he was laughing.

"I don't mean to burden you. I just wanted to say that I did."

"Oh, yes."

I couldn't find another suitable answer, so I nodded.

Then there was an awkward silence.

If I had a teacup, I would have grabbed it. The hand I put under the table crumbled subtly because I couldn't find a place to put them.

'What is this?'

I felt confused.

'This is a little..... isn't it?'

I'm not mistaken, am I?

'It's kind of like that, right?'

There was a sense of something strange about the Crown Prince's present attitude toward me.

No, I'm not only 'sensing' it but he is openly and obviously strange toward me?

'He came all the way down here because he wanted to make sure I was okay.'

Yeah, he's too obvious about it. If it's not about it then what?

If The Crown Prince had said such words to anyone without meaning or consciousness, he would have been famous as Casanova in The Empire.

'But I've never heard such a rumour.'

The situation has been identified. It's like that. I mean, well, it's real like that.

'Why?'

The embarrassment doubled.

Why did it happen? This could only have been a natural question.

The Crown Prince and I have only seen each other three times today.

Except for the fact that we have glanced at each other at the public meeting with several people.

'Even the first meeting was when it was spilt with the enchanted cloth.'

It was hard to find when the Crown Prince and I had a chance to sprout something like that.

'The effect of the enchanted cloth is still... No, that really wouldn't be.'

My head is spinning.

That's how I lost my words.

The Crown Prince opened his mouth with a bit of difficulty as to how he interpreted my attitude.

"I didn't want to make it uncomfortable. I think I shouldn't have said that before. You don't have to keep it in mind."
