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
“I’m sorry, it’s not that I’m rejecting you, ……”
In response to the puzzled me, Ayla-chan unusually looks away with a bad feeling.
I feel like this is the first time I’ve seen her look like this.
“Maybe you don’t like sweets?”
It didn’t seem like she hated it since it was something I gave her, so I wondered if there was a reason why she couldn’t eat the cake, so I asked her about it.
However, Ayla shook her head.
“No, that’s not it. Arcadia’s guards are forbidden to eat sweets and other sweet things.”
“…………”
I thought there was a reason why they couldn’t eat them, and it seems I wasn’t wrong.
You’re on a royal escort, so there must be some kind of control of greed or something.
“Perhaps alcohol is also forbidden?”
“I can’t drink anyway, due to my age, but I’m sure I’ll be punished more severely than Sweets.”
After all, that seems to be the right way to think about it.
If so, it might be strange.
I thought about that sticking point.
“So, please eat my portion with Luna-sama.”
Ayla-chan smiles cutely and moves away from me.
I don’t know if she actually wants to eat it or not, but I feel a little sad.
Above all, I don’t think Luna would probably want me to leave like this.
“You know, is that something that’s only known amongst the guards? Like the royals don’t know about it?”
“No, the royals know about it too. ……”
To Ayla-chan, who answers in an unusually puzzled manner, I smile smugly.
I thought so.
“I see, then I don’t think there’s any problem with eating them.”
“…………”
The perceptive Ayla-chan must have understood what I was trying to say.
This time, she looked at me with a very concerning look on her face.
As if to say, “Don’t say anything beyond that.”
“When I got this cake, Luna was there, and instead of stopping me, she was rather enthusiastic about it. As long as the royal family allows it, isn’t it fine?”
Yes, that’s the point I was stuck on.
If Luna knew that Ayla-chan wasn’t allowed to eat the cake, she would normally have stopped me.
At the very least, she would have told her that she wasn’t allowed to eat it.
She didn’t do that and was happy to hear that I was going to give it to Ayla.
I’m sure she wanted Ayla to eat the cake and sweets.
“Luna-sama is a …… kind person. I can’t just take advantage of her kindness …….”
“Does that mean you’re disrespecting Luna’s kindness?”
“…………”
When Ayla-chan dared to say something in a way that bothered her, I was met with a very questioning look.
There is a much darker emotion in her eyes than before, and I can’t help but smile bitterly.
Yes, I’m seriously scared.
This girl is the kind of person who shouldn’t be made angry. ……
Honestly, I regret it, I should have told Luna this when she was awake.
But there’s nothing I can do about it now, and digging it up later will make her angrier.
I can’t back down now.
