“You’re no longer a slave, Rodri. So, you don’t need to serve anyone as your master, nor do you need to see anyone as your savior. You are the savior of your own life. From now on, you’re going to become someone who can save himself. And when you become a respectable adult, you’ll be able to protect not only yourself but others as well.”
“…”
“…Ahem! So, being a knight is a vocation that suits you very well… I’m sure of it!”
I felt a little shy trying to make a serious comment. It felt like my hands and feet were squirming… But it seemed to have worked, as Rodri looked at me with a different intensity than before and spoke.
“…I understand.”
“Hmm.”
“I will remember your words, Duchess.”
Rodri’s eyes were serious as he spoke… Maybe it was just me, but they seemed to be filled with respect for me.
…Hmm, respect is okay, isn’t it? As long as it’s not worship or dependency.
‘…Good, that’s one worry off my mind.’
I felt a sudden wave of exhaustion.
[This is the time separator]“There were interruptions, but I found out.”
“Interruptions?”
At Arwin’s words, Grayan questioned in a curious tone.
The two were standing near the carriage that Gloria and Rodri had boarded, speaking in hushed voices.
“It’s this. It’s a gift from Princess Evangeline.”
Arwin conjured an amulet in the air as he spoke. Grayan looked at the item floating like a cloud with curious eyes.
“It had a spell on it to hide the waves of the soul.”
“…!”
At his words, Grayan turned to look at Arwin with surprise. Arwin, looking more serious than usual, spoke in a weighty voice.
“It’s strange. Who, and for what purpose, would try to hide the waves that her soul emits? Is this the doing of Princess Evangeline? Or, does that Siren magician have something to do with it…”
“So, the soul waves? Are they identical?”
At Grayan’s question, Arwin hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded. A disbelieving expression surfaced on Grayan’s face.
Arwin affirmed.
“The waves of the body and soul are exactly the same. The soul in that body is indeed Princess Gloria.”
[This is the time separator]Throughout the journey to Salisbury Castle, Grayan never took his eyes off me.
I felt like a guinea pig being observed. No, was I under surveillance?
I didn’t understand why Grayan would suddenly want to monitor me, but from my perspective, it was disconcerting.
‘I can’t wait to see April…!’
I want to hug the soft, squishy rabbit tightly!
Only thinking about bunny therapy, I pretended not to notice Grayan’s gaze for a long time.
Finally, we arrived at Salisbury Castle.
‘Ah! I thought I would die from discomfort!’
I quickly removed Grayan’s coat from my shoulder, returned it to him, and hurriedly stepped out of the carriage.
The moment my feet touched the ground, I heard a thudding sound from somewhere.
‘That sound…!’
“Kkiang!”
As soon as I turned toward the sound, a white fluff ball leapt into my arms.
Indeed, the owner of the adorable thudding sound was April, the rabbit!
‘So soft…! So warm!’
I hugged the rabbit tightly and rubbed my cheek against her. Normally, the rabbit doesn’t like it when I fuss over her too much, but today, she seemed unusually calm in my embrace.
‘Did she miss me…?’
Feeling an unexpected lump in my chest, I gently stroked the rabbit’s head and ears. The rabbit, peering out from my embrace, looked up at me with dewy eyes.
“…!”
Could it be about to cry again? Was it missing me to the point of tears? …I somehow felt guilty. From now on, whether Evangeline invites me or not, I should just say ‘I just don’t want to go’ and refuse it all.
If I make an excuse, she might say something about that excuse, but what can she do if I don’t want to go? …Evangeline might bear a grudge against me. But she should have already held a grudge since I took Rodrigue away from her.
So there’s no need to care anymore.
While tenderly stroking the long eyelashes and eyelids of the rabbit, I spoke.
“I’m sorry for leaving you, April… You’re not crying again, are you? Your mom would be really sad if you cry. So don’t cry…”
“Kyaaang!”
Suddenly, April, who let out a sound, began to shed tears. Ah, she looked extremely sorrowful. It felt like I had committed a mortal sin. That’s how pitifully April cried.
“AApril, it’s all my fault. I’m really sorry.”
“Kyaaang!”
“I didn’t know April would worry about me that much…”
“Kyaang!”
April, flailing her rabbit front paws, began to fuss and cry. Not knowing what to do, I was merely gaping when I felt someone quietly approaching.
It was Grayan.
“…April.”
“…!”
When he carefully called April, the rabbit ears perked up and April’s gaze turned to him.
April also sent a resentful look at Grayan. No, she was much more fierce than when she looked at me.
‘Geez, mother and daughter have deep grudges…’
As I thought about how to reconcile the two, Grayan opened his mouth with a somewhat hesitant look.
“I’ve been… inadequate as a father, haven’t I? I’m sorry.”
“…”
“I don’t know what you’re feeling, what you’re thinking… unless you tell me.”
“…”
“…That’s not to say I’m insisting you tell me. When you decide to spill it out someday, let me know then. …I’ll be waiting, April.”
Grayan, having finished speaking, gave an awkward smile.
April silently stared at him for a while, then soon cried with a small sound.
“Kyuuung…”
Although I couldn’t understand exactly, it seemed to mean ‘I’ll forgive you for now’!
‘It’s a relief. It seems Grayan’s sincerity has been communicated?’
That was when it happened.
“Ah…!”
April, who had suddenly climbed onto my shoulder, started to wash her face as if she had never cried.
Her two front paws were wiping her face, and it was so cute that it was harmful to my heart…
‘Has she calmed down a bit now…?’
I timidly glanced at April scratching her ears with her hind legs. I was going to accept the blame even if she held a grudge for a week. Surprisingly, April forgave me easily.
‘Indeed, an angel rabbit… A magnanimous rabbit.’
I raised a hand and gently stroked the rabbit. Today, I’ll have to eat steak together, April’s favorite. Then we should sleep together too.
“Thank you for forgiving me, April.”
“Kyaaing.”
“From now on, even if Evangeline invites me, I won’t accept. I’ve been showing an unlikable side to Evangeline…”
“Kyung…?”
“The next time I go, Evangeline might try to poison my car—.”
As I was jokingly saying, I suddenly felt a chill and cut off my words.
Looking down at my shoulder, I saw the rabbit, stiff as ice, enter my sight.
“EApril…?”
As I called out to April with bewilderment, the rabbit’s whiskers trembled.
To anyone, it would have seemed like a reaction out of fear.
