When I Saved a Girl Who Was About to Be Kidnapped and It Turned Out to Be a Princess Who Had Come to Visit in Secret
“…… Luna, are you mad…..?”
I asked fearfully, feeling pressured for some reason despite her cute smile.
“Yes.”
And Luna answered immediately.
That’s not the part where she returns that she’s not angry …….
“I’m sorry, Luna-sama, …….”
Ayla-chan bows her head with a dark aura.
The Lord replied that she was angry, so it was natural for her to do so.
“No, it was me who forced Ayla-chan to eat, so please don’t be angry with her.”
I made Ayla-chan, who had refused to eat the cake, eat it while bringing up Luna.
She ate the second and subsequent ones because I urged her to do so, so there was no reason for her to be angry at her at all.
Seito-sama ……”
Perhaps because I’m now sheltering her, Ayla-chan turns her moist eyes towards me, which is unusual.
It seems like she’s seriously mentally ill because she’s being scolded by the Lord.
I thought about it when I said cake, but I guess there’s something about her that’s appropriate for his age.
In fact, her usual expressionless face may be a way to hide this side of herself.
“Of course I won’t yell at you or punish you.”
Luna, who must not be used to this kind of situation, tells me in a surprisingly calm and nonchalant manner.
She is right, Luna is not the kind of girl who would yell, and she would not punish Ayla-chan, whom she adores.
But – the fact that she prefaced it with, on the contrary, bothers me.
“You mean?”
I was curious, so I urged onward.
“Just a warning. I thought that one day I might tell you when I started living in Japan and had a child, but I never thought that I would tell Ayla.
Luna said this and turned her gaze to Ayla.
And when Ayla was looked at, she froze like a frog being glared at by a snake.
Even thoughshe is a child who usually plays with and teases Luna, when Luna seriously scolds her, she doesn’t seem to be able to behave like she usually does.
Luna slowly opens her mouth as she stares at Ira.
“Listen Ayla? There’s nothing wrong with eating cake. This is Japan, so I don’t think we need to bring Arcadia’s rules with us.”
After all, Luna probably wanted Ayla to eat the cake.
Even though no one has misunderstood this point, she has gone out of her way to emphasize it in words.
She probably wanted to make it easier for Ayla to eat sweets in the future.
Her words still continue.
“But you can’t eat sweets or cakes before meals. And, eating so much cake that you can’t eat your meal is not acceptable. Do you understand?”
Luna made it clear that she was angry and admonished Ayla in a gentle voice and tone, as if she were telling a child.
I look at her like that and think – she’s like a mother.
Luna herself probably thought she was saying this line when she was dealing with a child.
I can tell this from the words she just let slip.
“I understand. ……”
Ayla-chan nodded her head in a small way.
She was just excited about the first cake she had ever eaten, and she wouldn’t have done this if she were a normal girl.
I’m sure Luna won’t say any more as she won’t make the same mistake in the future.
Of course, I have to be careful too.
I mean, it was my fault for eating before the meal.
Luna would understand that.
If I hadn’t told her, there was no way Ayla would have noticed the cake, and moreover, she wouldn’t have tried to eat it herself even though it was prohibited in Arcadia.
The story is over now – or so I thought – but Ayla still has something on her mind, and she opens her mouth while looking at Luna with a frown on her face.
“Aren’t you angry about eating.. Seito-sama’s cake?”
Apparently, she thought that Luna was also angry with her for eating my portion.
It is true that Luna, who thinks a lot about me, could possibly think so,…….
“I don’t think Ayla would want Seito-sama’s cake herself, and I understand how Seito-sama feels about wanting Ayla to eat it, so I won’t say anything about that. It would be disrespectful to Seito-sama’s feelings.”
After all, Luna is kind.
I guess she was a little hesitant about the way she said it, but she seemed to forgive me because I wanted her to eat it, so it was fine.
Seeing such a cute reaction makes me want to feed her again, and if she warn her now, Ayla probably won’t try to eat like that in the future, so I’m glad she didn’t get scolded.
“…. That being said, I would have liked to have seen Ayla eat the cake, too.”
Luna’s cheeks suddenly puffed out.
It seems that she was also concerned about Ayla-chan’s reaction.
Perhaps that’s part of the reason she’s a little grumpy?
