Chapter 93: Good morning, Sleeping Beauty

ーー

It feels somehow warm. What is this…

With that thought on my mind, I unconsciously moved my finger.

“…S…Lis…Aliseteen!”

The name was repeated over and over again, and I slowly moved my eyelids. My eyes, which suddenly took in light, were surprised and my vision was blurry for a while.

“Oh…Alise…thank goodness…”

The first thing that caught my eye was Julian-sama’s figure. He firmly held both of my hands and his beautiful face was wet with tears. He furrowed his brows tightly, looking only at me.

“Julian…sama…”

“Alise…”

“What beautiful…silver eyes…”

Those were the words that came out of my mouth. Julian-sama’s expression twisted even more as he gently hugged me.

“Where is this…?”

“This is the special infirmary of the academy. You’ve been sleeping for over ten days now.”

“Ten days…I was sleeping…?”

My body hurt everywhere, and I couldn’t move as I wanted to. I lightly shook my head to clear my fuzzy mind and thought things through.

“Yes… that’s right… I… I am with that person…”

As my consciousness gradually returned, I realized that I had forgotten something very important. I struggled to sit up and clung to Julian-sama.

“Julian-sama! Where is Princess Chai now?”

Though he was surprised by my sudden change, he held me firmly. With tears still streaming down my cheeks, Julian-sama looked at me with a troubled expression.

“Alise, calm down.”

“It’s impossible to calm down! Where is Princess Chai now?!”

“Princess Chai… if I remember correctly, she is from the Kingdom of Slophone?”

I wondered what had become of her now. Julian-sama in front of me didn’t look like I stepped back in time. Maybe she and I had failed.

As I came to that realization, I felt like I couldn’t breathe at the thought of Princess Chai’s safety.

It’s already been ten days since then, what is going on?

“Julian-sama…could it be that Princess Chai…”

“Hey, Alise.”

“…?”

While Julian-sama supported my body, he tilted his head curiously.

“Why is Slophone’s princess name coming up now?”

“…What?”

“Alise, who has never been to Slophone, shouldn’t know much about that princess.”

As I heard his words, all the strength in my body seemed to fade away.

What on earth is going on… I couldn’t grasp the situation at all.

However, it felt like I somehow understood that Princess Chai was supposed to not have come to this country.

But that was all.
