The chat with my mother was already over and Dia and I went to the male dormitory to pick up Yurii-sama. Females were prohibited, but it seems that if the student council staff showed their identification, they were able to temporarily enter.
Since Yurii-sama was in His Highness Prince Alan's room, Dia brought me there.
「Yurii-sama, I came to pick you…up…?」
「Let's go outside, Mirabell」
As soon as I opened the door to His Highness Prince Alan's room, my eyes were covered up by Dia's hands and he led me outside. If I didn't see wrong, then the completely exhausted Yurii-sama was tied up and his cheeks were being rubbed.
While I was outside, Dia went inside the room by himself and brought the fainted Yurii-sama outside by the scruff of his neck. Still, it's not good to do that to a prince. I realized that it would be my loss if I pointed those things out and was seen by His Highness Prince Alan who had collapsed on the bed.
I received Yurii-sama who was having a nightmare and while I was rocking him a little, he regained consciousness.
「Mira…」
「Good morning.」
「Mira, go away!! I hate you!!」
「Maa…how cruel. I like you a lot.」
「Don't be sad! Actually, I love you too!!」
After giving my apology, Yurii-sama buried his face in my chest and was shivering as if he had remembered something frightening.
「Why did you leave me behind! Mira! Mira!!」
Aah, it's no good. He's so adorable that I'm getting choked up.
「I know.」
「Don't separate from me again for even a second! Absolutely not! No matter what happens! Absolutely, without question no!」
「Yes. I understand. Unless Yurii-sama wishes for it, we will not be separated.」
There will be times where you miss your oniisama. When that happens, I plan to leave you to His Highness Prince Alan.
「The one to go meet your mother should've been me and not that idiot!」
Having been labeled as an idiot, Dia put on a sarcastic smile.
「I also wanted it to have been like that by all means.」
「Ara, are you still worried about being bullied by mother?」
「You were laughing as you looked on, so you don't understand.that person's words were sharper than swords.」
Mother doesn't hate Dia in the least. Rather, she was pleased with him. Dia had lost his mother when he was young, so she had always taken care of him as if he were her own son and unlike Father, she was not distant towards him.
The serious Dia, who had an appearance that women would fawn over, quickly realized, however, the terrifyingness of women through Mother since he was young, so he doesn't fantasize about women. Was it a good thing or a bad thing?
Seeing Dia approaching with a menacing smile on his face, Yurii-sama wrinkled his brow a little.
「If you want to meet her, you better prepare yourself. Madam Swain will make you more frightened than anything else you have ever experienced.」
「Please don't bully him. Mother was only being a little mischievous.」
And also a little blunt and a little troublesome…naggy…and caring.
「Then I'll let her know that I'll be bringing Yurii-sama next time.」
「Just us two! We don't need Judias.」
「Don't, be mean, and say you don't need him.」
Dia laughed dryly for a while.
「You should be grateful we left you behind.」
「It's not scary, it'll be fine, Yurii-sama. Dia is just exaggerating.」
I decided to check on His Highness Prince Alan one more time but after putting my hand on the door, Dia gently took it off.
「Time is time. I'll walk you back to the female dormitory.」
「Then I'll give my greetings to His Highness Prince Alan…」
「I'll walk you back.」
I couldn't, say anything other than 'yes'.
When I asked Yurii-sama, who had climbed into bed, if he had fun today, he got mad at me.
「As if it could have been fun! You abandoned me and left me with that disgusting guy!」
「Is he not a great oniisama? He seems to take great care of you, and I'm envious because I don't have any siblings.」
I was worried about whether or not Yurii-sama had anyone within the castle that would protect him. My impression of His Highness Prince Romeo was terrible and His Highness Prince Gilbert was in different grade than us and I have only seen him two, three times before so I don't know what kind of person he was, but I would assume that the compatibility between the child of the queen and the child of a maid would not be good.
His Majesty the King stood out prominently due to his pedigree and he probably doesn't love Yurii-sama. It was normal for him to interact with mostly women within the castle. It was expected that Yurii-sama would not be treated well by the servants.
It might have been because of His Highness Prince Alan that this child still had some childish qualities.
「That guy doesn't take care of me. It's only because I'm convenient.」
「Araa…your habit of self-deprecation is once again…」
Even though he was usually full of self-confidence, there would be times where he would unexpectedly lose his confidence. There's probably a reason as to why this child was like this.
「Because that guy has expectations of me. He doesn't go outside often and the only people he talks to are family members. But Romeo is completely black-hearted and Gilbert is prejudiced against his siblings because of his mother. It's only because I'm not an idiot nor a hindrance, so he chose me so that he could kill time.」
「I think that Yurii-sama is smarter than me, but…」
「Romeo is much more cunning than Mira or me.」
He does give off that feeling.
「Alan is confusing me with a dog or a cat. I am a human.」
「Nn… It's just that he seemed to really like Yurii-sama…」
So does that mean that if you overdo it, your love would, conversely, not be conveyed?
「I'm going to bed, Mira!」
「But it's not even eight o'clock yet…」
Yurii-sama's bedtime should be nine o'clock. But since he's five years old, eight o'clock should be around the right time for him.
「If I don't quickly go to bed, those annoying people will come!!」
「Aah…that's true.」
If we go by order, then tonight would be Erika who should be coming to visit.
The honest Yurii-sama doesn't even think to pretend to be out, so because of that, he's trying to use the excuse that he was sleeping.
When I also climbed into bed, Yurii-sama clung onto me.
「…so tired.」
「Yess…」
「Mira, is there any place that still hurts? Is the place where Judias hit you ok?」
In a slightly angry voice, Yurii-sama spoke while rubbing the back of my neck.
「It's fine. Since I also proper-ly scolded Dia.」
「If he tries to do the same thing that he did today, I will return the favor.」
「It will become a habit if you keep grinding your teeth, so stop it–」
If it became a habit as a child, then it won't be fixed–.
「Why are these guys here?」
「I don't even know why I am here.」
「Maa. It's rare that you two have the same opinion.」
They looked at each other with discontent on their faces and then both Dia and Yurii-sama glared at me.
「It's because I was told that His Highness Prince Alan wanted to go with us. In that case, I thought, why not Dia too?」
Next to me, His Highness Prince Alan crossed his arms with a triumphant smile on his face.
「It's because you always run away from me, Yuriel. Let bygones be bygones.」
「Since when have you been standing in front of the female dormitory, hentai.」
「Since last night.」
「They should strengthen the security of the dormitory.」
Even if it's strengthened, no security officer would do anything to a prince though.
Today is the promised Sunday where we go visit my mother's house, but I was caught by His Highness Prince Alan when I was getting in touch with Mother and he requested that he wanted to be brought along too.
I was told to not tell Yurii-sama, so I didn't say anything, but he seemed to be pretty angry so he was hitting my back. It doesn't hurt. Ado–ra–ble.
「I don't understand why it's necessary for me to go. A few days ago, I was only getting in the way. Go with just the three of you.」
「I already told Mother that I would also bring Dia.」
「You bastard, do you intend on forcing this dangerous thing onto me and Mira?」
Yurii-sama frequently called His Highness Prince Alan a "dangerous thing".
「He's someone you should see once in a while.」
「That's something, that you, definitely shouldn't say in front of the person himself.」
He was told that he was someone without filial piety and was slapped. You're not his parent though.
「Hey, let's hurry up and go.」
Yurii-sama, who was being carried by His Highness Prince Alan, was violently struggling and after walking ten meters, he was returned back to me.
