It’s already been three days since we were brought to the castle under the pretence of ‘imprisonment’
During these three days, I spent the time in a luxurious room, except when I was made to sit through sham interrogations, but I never had a chance to meet Michelle.
The food too was amazing, that I almost blurted out, “royalty indeed!”. I had no complaints about my treatment.
But since I didn’t see her face for three days, I did get worried.
“Erm…… How is Michelle doing?”
Because I was so curious and wanted to see her, I decided to politely ask the servant that brought the meals.
“Imperial Princess Lilith is taking care of Michelle-sama. The two get along well, and are already close friends.”
“Is that so…… I’m glad to hear that.”
To the servant that smiled gently, I returned a smile.
They seem to be on friendly terms as well……
A part of me felt jealous that someone other than myself was being friendly with Michelle, but I felt relieved at the fact that Michelle was in a safe environment.
After that incident with Brad, when I spent time with her until the aftereffects faded, I felt that my heart crossed the final line.
I thought it possible to abandon country and family if it was for that.
I had tightly hugged and consoled Michelle who was sobbing from the effects of the drug,
‘What should I do to protect her,’ that was the only thought that occupied my head.
Back then, I think I was being arrogant.
Now, I don’t feel so haughty. The next time I see Michelle, what will I feel for her……
I felt uneasy and worried.
Today, I’ll be getting busy because I need to pack things from the morning. ……Right, the safe house for Michelle and me were prepared for me, so we will be moving today.
At the ‘safe house’, I will be living with Michelle, so the worry that I won’t be able to see her — meet her is gone. But, the biggest worry on my mind was on how I would be feeling like when I rendezvoused with Michelle.
We were moved to the ‘safe house’ from the castle separately.
At first, a few maids and butler were scheduled to be sent from the castle, but because there were not enough butlers to spare, my butler was tasked with the house.
In retrospect, he may have already seen this fate.
“Jackie! I missed you!”
The girl I wanted to meet…… The lovely girl whom I yearned for lunged into my chest with words of joy.
In addition, her unstable mind seemed to now have become an unshakable bastion.
My worry that ‘I might change if I meet her’ was just a wo
rry, nothing more.
I want to protect my lovely Michelle, but that thought of ‘risking everything’, as though I was under a spell, was no longer there. I felt more passionate, but it was warm.
“Michelle…… I missed you too. Weren’t you lonely?”
“It was sad that I couldn’t see Jackie…… but…… at the castle, I met ‘Yacchan’!”
Said she, while softly smiling.
“‘Yacchan’, the girl you were always calling out to into the sky!?”
Michelle seemingly was attacked by a ‘truck’ and lost her life along with her friend, and then ‘reincarnated’ here.
Then, that ‘Yacchan’ or whoever also had ‘reincarnated’ here in this world. For that person to be so close to the imperial family……
“You see, the princess here, Lilith, was taking care of me, but she turned out to be ‘Yacchan’! I was really surprised!”
I was more surprised at Michelle’s words.
I did think that it would be someone close to the imperial family, but to be a member itself……
However, it meant that Michelle’s safety was practically guaranteed.
I also thought that Michelle’s mind became stable because she reunited with her old friend.
“I see…… that’s great…… then now, I am no longer needed, no?”
“……!”
Because Michelle was smiling so happily, I ended up something that I didn’t even mean out of jealousy.
Seeing her like that, I instinctively felt danger, so I hurriedly hugged the tightly.
“It’s a joke! I was just a bit jealous of ‘Yacchan’. If Michelle says ‘I don’t need you anymore’, I’ll be locked up instead of Henry!”
“Don’t say that! I want to be with you, until you say you don’t need me anymore…… I love you. Jackie, I lo……”
I sealed her lips.
Too cute!
I want to take her to the bedroom right now!!
“I’ll never do that…… will you be by my side until I die?”
When I whispered up close, she nodded while blushing bright red.
I lifted her up and swiftly carried her away to the bedroom, and we spent a sweet time until nighttime……
Anyway.
There will be many ordeals.
However, if I wrap her in my unwavering love for her, there will not be any problems.
I learned how to show my love in many more ways too, so I’ll whisper my love to her so much that she won’t have room for anything else……
While thinking of these things, I am now enjoying my life in imprisonment in the ‘safe house’……
