62 – Ortaire (4).

As soon as I heard my older brother’s words, I quickly returned to my room. A huge number of letters piled up on my desk.

It’s Adirun who always said he liked me, but if she sees this… … It might be a big surprise.

Once I started sorting the letters.

In my mind, I wanted to burn it all at once.

But I couldn’t. If there was one or two important contents in that pile of letters, there must have been.

Still, I threw out the names I didn’t know. It was obvious that it would be full of contents that were not a big deal anyway.

Continuing to sort through the pile of letters, I was relieved that I hadn’t carelessly burned them right away.

It was because there was a letter from Princess Lobelia. I took a quick look just in case, and there was a note saying to come to the imperial palace with Adirun if the time comes later.

Once you’ve got this… … You should burn the letters quickly.

I put mana on my hand. Lighting a fire yourself is highly likely to cause suspicion in many ways… … I have no choice but to burn it quickly.

Just as I was about to burn the letters… … Suddenly there was a knock on my door.

“Physis? Are you inside?”

I heard a voice I didn’t want to hear the most in this situation, so I couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat. Before even processing all the letters… … .

“Yes Yes!”

But it cannot be ignored. I hurriedly opened my door.

As I opened the door, I immediately thought… … I thought so.

I thought, ‘Isn’t there a need for me to be scared?’

Adilun was speechless as he looked at the scenery in my room. It could also be because the hundreds of sheets of stationery scattered around the room were so messy.

“… … What is all this?”

Her tone was quite bleak. I got a bad feeling and responded quickly.

“He said it was a letter from me. I think they were letters from my stay in Rodenov.”

“I know it’s a letter. What is it?”

“That, that… … .”

“What are most of the letters asking to meet?”

“There are so many names I’ve never seen before, so I was just about to burn them all.”

“aha. But Phish. You can’t do that. It must have been a letter written by the princesses with great care… … to burn it like that So, wouldn’t it be better to read it once?”

Intuition says.

The situation is not very good. I don’t know where the anger came from, but when I see it, I’m jealous… … Maybe it’s I knew at least that if I gave a wrong answer here, I would suffer for nothing.

“It can’t be. No need. No matter how much effort was put into writing it… … I already have a fiancé named Adilun. A letter like that is a nuisance to me.”

With this kind of answer, Adylun would have liked it quite a bit.

Thinking so, I raised my head and looked at her with a nervous feeling, and Adiluun looked at me with a gloomy expression as if his heart was relieved a little… … He looked at my hand, then hardened his expression again.

“For now, I know. By the way… … What is that letter you are holding in your hand? You seem to be holding on to it with great care… … .”

Her bleak eyes reached my hand. therefore… … It was a letter from Princess Lobelia. A letter asking how I’m doing and saying I’ll call Adyllun with me soon.

There was nothing wrong with the content, so I showed her the letter right away.

“Ah, this is a letter from Princess Lobelia. He said he would like to meet me and Adilun soon. Also, shouldn’t the letters from the imperial family be damaged carelessly? So, I thought to show this to Adilun.”

“is that so? Give it a try.”

I immediately handed the letter to her, and she glanced over the letter once and then nodded.

“Once I get it. By the way… … Those letters over there, you really don’t need any more, right?”

“of course. I was going to burn it all down.”

“Nope. Physis doesn’t have to work hard.”

right!

At that moment, Adilun circulated mana and snapped his fingers once.

Immediately, the pile of letters caught fire and began to burn all at once.

Not even ashes were left in the place where they were burned. Realizing that it was a warning from Adyllun, I felt a little scared… … It was that good too.

I liked the fact that Adilun was jealous. Because that meant he loved me. In fact, the monopoly desire, if not too excessive, can be an opportunity to confirm the other person’s affection, so I was relieved that Adirun was not angry with me.

“If we meet separately… … There is no princess who made an appointment, right?”

“There was no time for that. I have no intention of that.”

“… … I see. I’m sorry for behaving rudely. It was too far-fetched… … ?”

“It’s okay because it’s you.”

“yes. thanks.”

“Then shall we go out for a while? There’s a place I’d like to show you.”

“Where are you?”

“There is a landscape that I really want to show you. Please follow me.”

I took her hand and led her out of the room.

He already knew that he was popular.

but… … In the feast of those fresh love letters that covered the whole room, even I, who already knew the fact, couldn’t stop the shady jealousy and the desire for exclusiveness from raising my head.

So, I burned them all. I myself, without going through his hands. It’s clearly an act that has gone too far… … It could be a bit of an obsession with him.

but… … I wanted to.

Lately, it seems like I’ve been losing my temper too often when only Physis is involved.

It was like that in Selina’s time, and it’s like that now.

At a critical moment, these points might hold me back. No, I will definitely catch it.

Even so, the reason why I have no choice but to be overly emotional about things related to him… … Because I couldn’t let someone else take away the person I liked just because my ankle might get caught.

Maybe it’s because I couldn’t lose the only one person in my life.

So, I thought to be more active in related work in the future. Regrets are always late… … If that regret overtakes me for having taken away the most precious thing to me, I won’t be able to forgive myself.

After burning all the letters, Phishes looked at me with a slightly relieved face and started leading me somewhere.

He seems to have grown accustomed to holding my hand now, so he grabs it whenever it’s like this. Of course, so did I. And every time… … I feel some satisfaction.

how long did it take It didn’t go very far. Just, after walking out of Ortaire Castle for a while… … Several landscapes caught my eye.

A windmill that spins while leaning against the wind. And in front… … A golden wave that shines just by looking at it.

And above it, the blue sky embracing the sun and gold.

It was a scenery that everyone could not see in Rodenov. Looking at the wide golden wave, it felt like this place was the source of life, to the point where I could feel any kind of emotion.

“Wow… … .”

I couldn’t help but exhale spontaneously from my mouth. Such a beautiful sight… … It’s one of the few sights I’ve seen in my life.

Like the view of the bell tower located in Caltix Fortress that I want to show to Physis someday.

“Isn’t it beautiful? In fact, I didn’t know how beautiful this scene was at first. To be exact, until I met Adyllun.”

“Me?”

“Yeah. Before that, I was a twisted guy somewhere. I couldn’t feel what others felt, and I had no concept of beauty. However, I wondered if I had realized some more humane feelings after meeting Adyllun. So when I reflected on my life again, this scene came to my mind.”

“… … I see.”

“So I really wanted to show you this scene. The scenery of Rodenov, where you lived, was very nice, but you can’t beat the smell of the place where you were born and raised. Maybe it’s the same with Adirun. The most beautiful place inside… … There must be a place like that.”

“Yeah. Yes.”

“Since I showed you this scene today… … Someday next time, I hope you will show me such a place too.”

“yes. Okay.”

It is such a beautiful sight. And… … Just seeing that scene with this person next to me made me feel like the world was widening a lot.

The wide sky, the vast wheat field, and the little me and him standing there.

How long have you been there

Even though the sun is shining… … It started raining suddenly. It was an unusual experience. A strange sight with clouds on one side and the sun shining on the other.

Even that was new to me, as it was an unimaginable sight in Rodenov.

I felt the cold raindrops wet my body little by little, and heard Phissis’ voice.

“this. When it’s like this… … . Come in quickly. You might catch a cold again.”

“… … Yeah.”

At my regretful words, he comforted me.

“I’m sorry, but it’s okay because I can come back tomorrow.”

“I see.”

While stepping on his sidewalk, I stumbled.

“oh!”

“Adilun!”

He wraps around my body for a moment. My body, which started to get wet little by little, touched my body, and at some point I was held in his arms like a princess.

“it’s okay?”

“Ah yes. I’m just a little flustered.”

But maybe it’s the aftermath of my previous trip… … My body was startled and I felt a little stiff, and the heel of one of my shoes was broken, so I couldn’t ask for it to come down.

“Anyway, this kind of land doesn’t seem suitable for walking with Adilun’s shoes right now. I was careless.”

Phisis must have seen my condition as well. I hugged his wet body and buried myself in his arms.

“Then could you take me there like this?”

As I mumbled in his arms, I felt him nod. His arms emanated the same scent as before.

A refreshing and cool scent.

I’ve been wondering where this scent came from. It wasn’t just the smell of perfume, but his body odor itself was fragrant.

But now, coming to this point, I understand.

this vast sky. As his temperament, born under the vast sky of Ortaire, permeates mana… … It was to present this scent to me, who is sensitive to mana.

Even while he was running with me in his arms, I was just sniffing his scent comfortably in his arms.
