"I...s?"

The man holding my arm did not speak. He just leaned down and pulled into the distance.

"..."

Looking at the scarlet eyes that are close at hand, reflecting my figure. I swallowed very hopelessly.

Among the people I have seen is only one with brown hair and red eyes. Not to mention the iconic red coat. Among Yinglan's knights of the round table, he is the only one wearing the incompatible red.

Slight red color. Just the same color as blood.

The heartbeat was so fast that it was almost deafening. Ace, who was watching me, had calm eyes and lowered his eyes slightly. Even the lazy smile that kept rising from the corner of his mouth was gone.

Once the noisy man calms down. It's quiet and terrible.

"...What? It turned out to be Gardriche. Haha."

The tall man withdrew his body and smiled heartily. Was it because he was no longer backlit? Those red eyes finally returned to their former brightness.

Although I know that his heart has nothing to do with "brightness".

"Why is Gardriche here."

The hand holding my arm retracted and put it casually on the hilt of my waist. Ace lowered her head slightly and looked at me, her red glaze-like eyes were full of strangeness, "This is Yinglan, right?"

"...This is Yinglan." I held the plate and looked at Ace silently. You should have been to Yinglan’s Royal City many times, why is it still in a questioning tone, "I was invited by Arthur to be a guest one day ago."

"Be a guest—"

Esra's ending sounded long, and he looked at me thoughtfully.

And I stared at him with a pair of dead fish eyes, looking back at him blankly.

"Well."

Finally, Ace chuckled lightly. With a hearty smile, he asked me, "Should I take you around Yinglan."

I am silly. He turned his head almost subconsciously and glanced at the direction of the rising sun.

... indeed rises from the east. So it's Ace that's making fun of his brain again?

"Your expression is very hurtful. Gadriche." The brown-haired man put his right hand on the hilt of the sword. The tone is lazy and casual, "It is rare for a friend to come to a place familiar to him. Isn't it common sense to entertain."

"Or."

Ace chuckled, "You would rather expect King Arthur to take you around in person."

"No. Forget it. Let me go."

I am almost a conditioned reflex of my triple quality. Ace in front of him seemed to be so resolute that I would not have expected me to refuse, with his scarlet eyes slightly open, and his expression was rare in a daze.

"Ha ha."

But soon. The **** lazy and hearty smile returned to his face, "So do you prefer me to accompany you."

"Never mind you." I stared at Ace blankly, "I always feel that we will get lost if we get out of the palace door."

"Hey—" Ace put a hand on the back of his neck, in a lazy tone, "So does King Arthur's palace have a door?"

...I was shocked, "Didn't you come in through the front door?"

"No." Ace contrasted behind him casually, "From the garden behind."

Sure enough, it is not unreasonable for Arthur to squeeze you. Not being killed by a patrolling knight for so many years can be considered a brave man.

"I'm going to Arthur's room now. I will bring him afternoon tea." I pointed to Asby's silver dinner plate, "If you want to find Arthur, I'll take you there."

"It's amazing, Gadriche. I just remembered the location of the room just one day after I came here."

"Isn't it the one in the middle of the second floor?" I said with a complicated expression.

"Well. My sense of direction is not very good."

Ace said like this. Then he reached out and took the dinner plate in my hand with one hand.

"I'll hold this for you." The brown-haired man smiled heartily at me who was stunned. "After all, it's still heavy if you hold it."

"...That. Thank you."

The sudden attention made me a little dazed. But I still thanked Ace.

Not flattered.

But suddenly reacted. Although Ace's personality is dangerous and uncertain, he still takes care of me when the two are together.

In the underground facility, it can even be said that he saved my life.

Should I treat him better.

I was lost in thought. At this time, the man holding the dinner plate with one hand had already taken a step forward and walked forward.

Towards a complete, complete, phase and opposite direction.

"Go the other way." With a dark face, I rushed forward a few steps to catch up with Ace, holding his arms in both hands and pulling in the direction, "The stairs to the second floor are not there!"

"Is that so."

Ace blinked at me. Fairly obedient, turned around and followed my steps.

I sighed and let go. Fortunately, this guy is so well-behaved and not lonely--

"Wrong walking again!!" With a dark complexion, I held Ace's arm, and tried to drag Ace back with a look of "what are you doing", "Go straight! Why are you facing Go in an oblique direction!"

"Huh?" The handsome, brown-haired man smiled very brightly, with a very ordinary tone, "I'm not going straight."

"No." I was affirmed when the Yintang was blackened, "You don't have it at all." Your way of walking can't even prove that the earth is round!

"Is that so."

Ace said so calmly. Then raised his other hand, naturally and skillfully, he picked up a piece of cake from the three-story tower and threw it directly into his mouth.

In an instant, my face turned black and purple.

As if noticing my purple cabbage face. Ace turned his head and smiled soothingly at me, "Don't worry. If it's just a piece, it won't be discovered."

But the first floor of the three-story tower was originally only three yuan!

"That's right. Gardrie cut you want to eat." To me, Ace, which is slightly reluctant with both hands, can be held firmly with one hand. He took another piece of pink cake from the three-story tower and brought it to my mouth in a good mood, "It tastes good."

I refused with a stern face, "No need—Um!"

However. The moment I opened my mouth, Ace stuffed the cake in.

There is no time for me to react to the tough and swift movements. The pink cake crumb fell off the collar. The hand in the black leather glove hit my tooth when I left. Fortunately, it didn't hurt too much.

but. The cake has been completely squeezed into the mouth.

After hesitating for a moment. I chewed very upright.

The sweetness and aroma of the rose spread in the mouth, brushing every taste bud. While chewing, I stared dumbfounded, and stared blankly at the man who was smiling heartily in front of me. Express the strong condemnation in his heart with his eyes.

"Now we are accomplices." Ace's voice was lazy with a smile. He asked me too much, "Is it delicious?"

"……tasty."

I swallowed the fully chewed cake in my mouth, and I patted my collar and replied, "Since it's all in my mouth and throwing it up, it would be a waste of food. So I ate it with gratitude—"

"What are you doing. Have some tea."

"Oh, thank you."

I subconsciously took the tea offered by Ace, and took a sip from the edge.

Different from the green tea I drank in my previous life. The taste of black tea is less distinct and more mellow. Although it's not annoying, it doesn't belong to the kind of taste I like.

etc.

I was silent. Quietly looking at the beautiful and delicate teacup with hot gold in his hand. My shadow was reflected on the pure tea-red water, and my expression looked a little hopeless.

At this time, Ace spoke from the side again, "If you just take a sip, you won't be found."

I did not reply. Just laughed.

Then smiled and cried.

...

Sure enough, I shouldn't be grateful for someone like Ace. The good things he has done to you will be paid back at the same price as the pits he has done to you, and sometimes even worse.

I also ate the cake of the three-tiered tower. The black tea that the court made for Arthur also drank. Everything is as if the water poured out will never come back.

Although I also thought about returning to the kitchen, I told everyone that the afternoon tea dedicated to Arthur was snatched by the brown-haired knight who came out of it and eaten it cleanly, so please make another one. But I don't know if the servants of the palace knew about the existence of Ace, and if they were self-defeating, they would think that I was lying. Let me greatly reduce my status in the hearts of the people of England and Lan.

ha? You asked me if I would feel heartache when I pit Ace?

Of course not, bastard! ! ! Think about what this **** did to me! ! !

Obviously, I walked only a few hundred meters and it was a despair. It's like going to reincarnation. He had to hold Ace's arm tightly throughout the whole process, otherwise he could even walk over to the other end of the earth.

In the end, physically and mentally exhausted, I was like an elderly mother, unable to move him anymore. He simply gave up the resistance, holding his arm and pointed the way like a ghost.

Fortunately, Ace still cooperates.

It's not good to go all the way. The desserts and black tea of ​​the three-story pagoda were cleaned by him.

Arthur's study was right in front of him. I raised my hand and pointed weakly at the big lacquer door in front of me, "This is it..."

"Is it here? So fast."

"..."

I did not speak. Just turned his gaze to one side.

It would be great if this door didn't need to be opened in this life. It's a pity that what should come is always coming.

I sighed. Released his hand holding Ace, ready to knock on the door.

However, Ace moves faster than me.

The man with the dinner plate in one hand was simple and rude, kicking open the painted door. The hand that should have been used to open the door was resting on the scabbard, leisurely and lazy.

And I was directly stunned by his kick.

"His Royal Highness. I'm here to bring you afternoon tea."

Before I could react, Ace walked in, with a clear tone of voice, "Although I was eaten up by me on the road. Ahaha."

"I knew it when I was outside the door. Ace."

Wang's voice called my attention. I hurriedly recovered and followed Ace into it.

Then she hid behind Ace very arrogantly.

"It's not your fault. Liche."

Arthur's voice came across Ace. Full of pampering, "When I finish my work, let's go to the courtyard for afternoon tea."

...What a king with a broad mind!

I poked my head out from behind Ace with a touch of emotion, and muttered, "I tried to stop--"

The sudden increase in strength above my head silenced me. I raised my head and found that Ace was smiling and rubbing the top of my hair brightly, "Well. Obviously, I had a great time eating with me."

That was all forced!

"Stop teasing her. Ace."

Arthur, who was sitting at the end of the room, put down his pen. Lie down and casually lean on the back of the chair, with his hands crossed on the overlapping legs. The Wang's aura made us look at him at the same time.

"I have something to discuss with Ace." The sea-blue eyes looked at me, filled with soothing meaning, "Liche rested for a while."

"……OK."

I suppressed my expression and nodded seriously. He turned around and left the study quickly, carefully closing the door of the study before leaving.

And when the last gap disappeared. With a low muffled noise.

The red and dark blue eyes that followed me all the time were blocked behind the door.
