The curls of hot air floated on the surface of the water, dimming the white moonlight. The flames of the stone lanterns standing on both sides of the hot spring were dimly yellow and misted, reflecting on Catherine's side face, clearly extinguished.

The body was completely covered by the hot water. Comfort and warmth invade the limbs. Around the hot spring is a circle of three-step rugged stone steps, which is convenient for people to sit at the desired height. At this time, I was sitting in the middle position, and Catherine was one step higher than me.

cough. After all, Sister Yu's heart is Loli's body. If she sits on my floor, Catherine will only have one head outside.

The wooden sheds next to each other waved up and down around us. In this position, the surface of the water just passed the chest. Although the entire shoulders were exposed, but in the constant heat, still did not feel cold.

It would be nice to have plum wine at this time.

Enjoy the warmth of the spring water. I thought this way a little ecstatically.

"His Royal Highness. Can you bring me the tub."

"Ah. Okay."

The sound of water rushed, echoing in the empty hot spring field. I reached out and hooked the edge of the tub and pulled it over from the water.

The tub across the water caused a series of arc-shaped waves. At this time, I feel that whatever I do is poetic. After pushing the tub to Catherine next to me, I took up the water with my hands, and watched leisurely as the clear spring water was steaming hot and leaking from the fingers of my hand.

"The water in the hot springs is all living water. Very clean."

The short pink hair was soaked in the heat, wisps of it stuck to the cute baby's face. While introducing to me, Catherine looked for something from the tub, "And this is only for the knights of the round table. Except for the concubine. No one else will come in."

what. It has a strong FLAG flavor. I always feel that something weird will come in when you say that~

I thought so coldly that a certain jellyfish spirit that broke in suddenly in the bath made a psychological shadow. On the side, Catherine pulled out the packet of rose petals from the tub, poured them into her hands, and slowly held them into the water.

The floating water waves quickly dispersed the petals. The warm air floating in the air also unknowingly stained with the fragrance of roses.

"I think this is more emotional." Catherine said like this. Then he took a small towel out of the tub and put it on his head after dampening it with hot spring water. "It's just a little troublesome to clean it up."

I smiled awkwardly and gently. After all, no one would sprinkle rose petals in Wen Spring. It's just that there is no "correct" usage method and cultural tradition handed down in Yinglan, so it is mixed with the habits of the country.

Although a bit nondescript. But just be happy.

Looking at the familiar breeze around me, I couldn't help but sigh, "If you plant cherry trees on both sides of the hot spring, it will probably match it."

"Sakura...?" It seemed to have heard an unfamiliar word. After a moment of silence, Catherine continued, "To be honest, I haven't seen the real thing. But if His Royal Highness thinks so, it must be quite a match."

I was stunned. I still remember the crowded scene of the cherry blossom forest in the early spring of this year. Most of them are from other countries, "Have you never visited Saint Enluth?"

The lovely loli(?) shook her head. The expression was calm, "It was too busy at that time."

"...Is that so?" My voice was a little frustrated, "Now even Saint Enluth can't plant a cherry tree. I'm afraid I won't see it in the future."

"In that case. His Royal Highness Gadrich must be a person favored by God."

I looked at her. Those light honey-colored eyes were filled with water vapor, and Catherine gave me a gentle smile like water.

"You can see beautiful scenery that others will never see in a lifetime. There is no doubt. You are loved by God."

envy.

Without any malice. Catherine was simply envious of me who could see the cherry tree. And feel happy that I can get the favor of "God".

After all, looking at the photos taken by others with the magic device is completely different from what you have seen with your own eyes. It's like even if you read other people's stories, you will never get the life of others.

unnoticed. I remembered what Ace said to Arthur.

[As a result, you are also a member of the birdcage. 】

To Arthur, who had a normal expression, Ace's voice was full of irony.

Half of it was facing the king, and the other half was facing himself.

There are no people who are completely free in the world. Maybe even the "goddess" who left this world had a compelling reason.

Catherine took a step down. Submerge the whole body in the water. Only one head was left exposed. I quickly followed her and sat down a step.

The warm water covered the collarbone. Although the surface of the water is full of hot air, it is difficult to breathe, but it is still within a tolerable range. And Catherine on the side seemed to be used to it a long time ago, her face was as usual, and her tone was calm and chatting with me.

"The three sons of the old king are excellent. But Arthur is indeed the most talented one."

The black pupils shrink slightly. I turned my head and looked at Catherine blankly. The heat of the hot spring made her lovely baby face reddish, but her honey-colored eyes were as bright as they were washed.

"I watched them grow up, so I feel deeply."

The pretending low-pitched loli voice was mixed with the sound of the water waves, with moisture, "If there is no accident, I am the exclusive knight of the prince. And Gauser is the second prince."

I drew a breath of air-conditioning.

Is it so amazing! ! !

I couldn't help holding my breath and listened carefully to Catharine's words. Because the two princes were dead and left the city when Arthur was born, I haven't seen much of them in his letter.

"The prince is like a princess. He is a very gentle person."

Moisture is permeated. Those honey-colored eyes seemed to be hidden in the mist, "I am worried that his gentle character will suffer in the future, so I have been very strict with him."

"He was afraid of bugs and forced him to catch cockroaches with his bare hands. He only likes to read fairy tales, so he changed his books to black nursery rhymes. If you dare to resist, beat him up so that he understands that fists are always more effective than mouths in this world. ."

"..." The gaze I looked at Catherine was a bit complicated for a while, "the old king... didn't he say anything?"

"Say it." Lolita with short pink hair nodded, "He said I did a good job."

The death of this man's son was really done by himself.

I thought coldly. And Catherine took off the towel on top of her head and soaked it in hot water, wrung it out, folded it, and put it on top of her head again, “I taught him whether it’s swordsmanship or magic. Even his meals I check it every day and send it to him personally."

Catherine turned her head and smiled at me, "Do you think I have done too much?"

"...No." My tone was very complicated, "Unknowingly, consider him your younger brother."

"Yes."

Catherine's voice was slightly warm.

"I don't know when. Rather than making him a good king. I want him to live in peace."

However, he died.

Catherine did not continue. It is no longer meaningful to entangle the cause of his death and cry out how regretful he is, and hope that time can come back again. Everything is over when people die.

"People are too fragile. No matter how carefully you take care of them, death will inadvertently take him away from you." The low female voice echoed in the open hot spring, clear and silent, "Maybe it was on Gao Se See his shadow. My concubine and I liked to bully him at that time."

"Well. Concubine loves to bully him now. She said, ‘If you don’t bully now, you may never be able to bully him again.’"

"Goth grew up with the second prince. So it is more appropriate to say that he is a friend than a knight."

"The second prince has a temper like the old king. He is also one of the old king's favorite children." As if thinking of something, Catherine frowned in disapproval, "but his character is too irritable. He lacks training."

Please don't say such a horrible word seriously. How do I feel that the death of the two princes and sister Helen can't escape the relationship.

The corners of my mouth twitched. And Catherine said in a low and flat tone like a narrator, "Gose was very good when he was a child, but he became as wild as a monkey after being taken away by the prince. She also relied on having a likable Hook up the little girl with her face everywhere."

Catherine frowned and sighed with some headache, "I was beaten badly by the old king and the protector."

"...I can imagine."

I followed with a long sigh. Even just listening to the stories of those two people, one can imagine Catherine's mood at the time. Helpless, headache, and a little irritable. Thinking about it now, even these unpleasant moods can't help but become memories that I want to cherish.

Catherine didn't say the next ending, and I didn't care. Now that everything is a foregone conclusion. At least when remembering, let us only remember those happy days, leaving only blanks in the final ending. Even if this is just self-deception.

Even if this is just our sober self-deception.

Arthur is still alive. It's really great.

I couldn't help but want to sigh. But I always felt that there was a kind of strange inauspiciousness in saying this sentence, so I swallowed it back abruptly.

"Only when I reminisce about the past will I realize that I am thirty-one. I have already spent a third of my life."

"But since time can't come back, all we can do is to cherish the present time."

The honey-colored eyes turned slightly, and Catherine's gaze fell on me.

The moonlight is bright, and the moon reflected in the water is also obscured by the heat. The water that submerged the body is still warm. The dim light sparkled softly, like fine gold floating on the surface of the water.

"Whether it is me, concubine, or Gauser. They all watched Arthur grow up with regret."

"Unwillingness, regret, guilt, and remorse caused by loss."

"Arthur is excellent. Excellent beyond all of our expectations."

The dim light was shining in her eyes, but there was a clear light in her eyes, "Whether he is a king or a man, he is admired by everyone. That's why the old king will be entrusted by the old king. "Eye of the Eye" to him at a young age."

"Although sometimes."

The honey-colored eyes lost their highlights for a moment, "His personality is very bad."

In an instant, my favorability was maxed out by Catherine's words. It's too horrible. Not only me, but even my loyal knights of the Round Table can do it.

"How offensive have you been to you these past few days." The pink-haired Lolita stood up from the hot spring as she said, "If you are rude, please be--"

"Forgive, forgive, forgive!!"

It's almost instinctive to the body. I yelled while pulling Catherine Hikari to sit down.

"...Your Majesty Gardriche." There was a puzzled expression on the cute baby's face, "Why are you so nervous?"

Because we are naked now! There is still fog blocking in the water. When I stand up, I always feel that I will be seen!

"Because it will be cold when you stand up!" Of course, I can't say the reason why people know that they have bad memories. "

"Is that so."

Catherine's face suddenly realized. Then he gave me a gentle smile, "Sure enough, you are a gentle person."

"I haven't contacted you directly. To be honest, you are a little different from the'His Royal Highness Gadriche' in my mind."

Needless to say, it is so euphemistic. I know I don't look like a princess at all.

"Sorry."

I smiled embarrassedly and withdrew my hand. Wringing out the towel that fell into the water due to her sudden standing up, folded it, and put it back on her head gently and carefully, "I'm disappointed. I am not a princess in essence."

The honey-colored eyes returned to their original shape after a brief tightening. Catherine shook her head at me, "It doesn't matter."

"You are a gentle and straightforward person. This incident makes us more happy than you are the'Princess of Saint Enluth.'"

Honey eyes looked at me, filled with straightforward admiration, "As expected, Arthur's eyes are not wrong. Although there is no gorgeous appearance, your soul is as beautiful as a black pearl."

"……Thanks for the compliment."

I smiled awkwardly and politely. Then he silently missed his sight.

"Please believe it. We are all grateful to you without exception."

"……Hey?"

The black pupils shrink slightly. I looked at Catherine blankly.

She smiled at me.

"Because. You made the king smile with real joy."
