#81

“Sigh… Looks like I’m not getting any sleep today either…”

Verdaine, who had climbed down from the tree, rubbed his aching bottom after failing to land properly and grumbled.

“Hmm, then Asellon and I will follow Lucian, so you go back to the Shelter.”

“What? If Mona’s going, then of course I have to go too!”

“Tsk, you can’t even climb trees properly, so what’s the point.”

“Hmph! No, I’m usually good at climbing, but I got distracted by beautiful Mona’s face.”

Verdaine, who had made a ridiculous excuse in response to Morgana’s criticism, shot her his most confident wink.

But Morgana snorted and pointed at a tree branch with her finger.

“For someone saying that, you were trembling on that tree branch earlier.”

“That was… uh… because the wind was too strong!”

Asellon, who had been listening to their conversation, reached the limit of his patience and glared at the two while snapping.

“…Ha, stop this stupid conversation and let’s go back to the Shelter.”

That made sense since it was almost midnight.

Lucian always hid himself alone when midnight came.

Probably worried about harming us, he would put on multiple layers of magic restraints by himself and try to control his power.

The Lucian he knew was that kind of person.

Since he wasn’t unsympathetic to those feelings, Asellon led the two bickering people toward the Shelter.

Meanwhile, Lucian had already disappeared into the darkness.

“…Here, this is the letter Sona left for you two.”

I went to the Aquallis Estate to deliver the sad news and handed the letter to Sona’s parents.

The two immediately began reading through the letter.

“If she abandoned both her parents and Family to leave, she should have lived happily… She drives a nail into her parents’ hearts until the very end.”

Though the tone was harsh, tears were welling up in both their eyes.

Those were probably tears filled with regret for not being able to support their daughter as parents.

“You said you were Baroness Blanc’s daughter? Thank you so much for delivering our daughter’s final letter like this.”

“I’m only sorry to have to deliver such news… Um, if it’s alright with you, could we bury Sona’s remains next to Rio’s Grave?”

I carefully held Sona’s urn and asked.

Though it was Sona’s final wish, as Sona’s parents who had opposed their love, they would probably be displeased with keeping the two together until the very end.

But contrary to my concerns, Sona’s parents nodded.

“…Let’s do that. We’ll handle the preparations on our end.”

“Miss Blanc, thank you so much.”

The look in Sona’s mother’s eyes as she grasped my hands and thanked me seemed so sad that I felt overwhelmed with emotion too, and I just nodded silently while holding back tears.

“When we finish preparing for our daughter’s funeral, we’ll call you, so please come.”

“…Of course, naturally.”

At the end of our discussion, we decided to hold a separate funeral for Sona here, then bury her next to Rio’s Grave.

I left the manor while being seen off.

“Kyu- Zoe!”

“Oh my Ruby, did you wait long?”

I hugged Ruby tightly, who had been waiting obediently outside the manor, and said.

“Leon, come out now.”

“…Master, were you crying?”

Leon, who noticed my noticeably reddened eyes, grabbed my face with both hands and asked.

“I’m fine. But shouldn’t you have come in with me?”

“I was too ashamed.”

Since that day, though he didn’t say it, Leon seemed to be deeply feeling responsible for not being able to protect them as Avalon’s prince.

Seeing shadows fall over Leon’s usually bright face, I patted his head.

“It’s okay. It’s not your fault.”

“Haha, only Master thinks that way.”

According to the rabbit sisters, when Leon was captured by the Secret Society of Phantoms, even though he could have escaped alone, he was threatened using the imprisoned beastmen as leverage and dragged to the Arena.

Looking at that, he doesn’t seem to be completely irresponsible.

All I could do for Leon, who wore a bitter smile, was send him a comforting look.

“Just do better from now on! With that in mind, Prince Leonhart, could you guide us to the Royal Palace now?”

Quest aside, to prevent such tragic incidents from happening again, we had to find the whereabouts of the ruler who had governed this place.

I urged Leon with a determined expression.

“…To Master, I’m not a prince, I’m just Geumdeori.”

“Right, Geumdol. Hurry up and lead the way.”

At my words, Leon finally smiled with satisfaction.

“As expected, my Master. The Royal Palace is that way… Huh!”

That was when we were about to depart for the Royal Palace.

Suddenly Leon was startled and stared intently somewhere.

I followed Leon’s gaze.

And there…

“You… stupid… tiger!!”

“Ahhh!”

A scene was unfolding where some girl with flowing white hair was delivering a full-force kick toward Leon.

* * *

“You stupid tiger! Die!”

“Ow ow! Stop, calm down a bit Airi!”

“Shut up! Big brother, you need to get hit!”

Oh, big brother?

Leon had a younger sister?

That means… that girl is also a princess of Avalon?

My eyes widened at seeing the two people who looked so alike they could be twins, except for their hair color.

“Hey, Airi. While I’m asking nicely, let go of this… Ahhh!”

“Why. If I let go, you’ll run away again?! And then get captured by some Secret Society of Phantoms or whatever again?!”

The child presumed to be Leon’s younger sister was gripping Leon’s hair with the intensity of someone about to rip out his scalp.

“Kekeke, that tiger bastard’s going to go bald! Kyu!”

Her grip was so strong that Ruby giggled while watching the hair strands fall mercilessly to the ground, laughing like Antragorn 1 with glee.

As people around started paying attention, I hurriedly intervened between the two.

“Um, I don’t know what the situation is, but please let go of his hair and let’s talk slowly. At this rate he’ll really go bald…”

“Sob, Master…”

“What?! Who are you to tell me what to do… uh…”

Leon’s younger sister, who had been about to snap at me in her excitement, saw my face and her mouth fell open in surprise.

In the meantime, Leon was finally able to escape the crisis of going bald.

“Ha… Just having brute strength without brains. Look at all the hair that got pulled out! My Master loves my shiny fur the most.”

Leon tearfully clutched his hair that had fallen to the ground preciously.

But his younger sister completely ignored Leon’s words and approached me with an expression of disbelief.

Then she suddenly hugged me tightly.

“Ahhhh… Such a nice smell…”

Hugged me…? Suddenly?

I looked down at Leon’s younger sister who was hugging me tightly while nuzzling her head against me.

“Um, excuse me…”

As I stood there flustered and not knowing what to do about her sudden behavior, Leon’s younger sister finally stopped nuzzling and looked up at me.

“Sister, who are you, Sister? Why are you so pretty? Sister smells so good!”

“Hey, Airi. Get away from Master.”

“Stupid tiger, shut up and go cower in a corner.”

“Ugh, that ugly thing, seriously. Get away from her right now!”

When Leon tried to forcibly separate her from my embrace, she delivered a powerful kick toward Leon’s shin.

Crack-

“Ahhhhh-!”

Ugh, that must hurt…

I shook my head as I watched Leon groaning while clutching his shin.

“Tsk, you’re getting in the way. Sister, can I hug you again?”

“Ah… yes…”

I could tell these two were siblings without needing any further explanation.

* * *

“Um… Princess, you said Isi, right?”

“You can just call me Ari, Sister Zoe.”

As expected, her identity was Ibriss Lin Avalon, the 3rd Princess of the Beastman Kingdom, Avalon.

I sighed as I looked at the princess staring at me intently with sparkling eyes.

“Ah, yes… A-Ari. Um, nice to meet you first. So is Ari also a tiger beastman like Leon?”

“Yes, that’s right! Should I show you?!”

Poof!

Uwaaah!

I swallowed a scream as I saw the tiger that wriggled and revealed itself from within the dress the princess was wearing.

No way. I wondered why her hair color was white, but she’s a white tiger!

I gulped at the sight of the seriously cute baby white tiger.

I approached Ari as if enchanted and asked.

“You’re so cute… A-Ari. Could I pet you just once?”

Then Ari grinned and lightly padded her steps, trotting over to me and said.

“Please hug me tight, Sister♡”
