âPrincess, Sir Zavaikal might feel uncomfortable.â
I took a step back because of Seriraâs words, but I just got more curious. Why didnât he wish to be married? My dad was the most selfish and scary man that I had ever seen, and out of all, he already got a grown daughter like me, so generally, ladies would think twice about marrying him.
However, Assisi was single, and he was also a handsome man, not to mention a famous knight. Why, oh, why?
âPrincess.â
Oh, damn it. My mom had quick wits.
I was going to ask Assisi once Serira turns her eyes around, but I guessed I couldnât. I would still ask Assisi about this later, though.
I grabbed my teacup and looked at Assisi. Now that I had thought about it, he seemed quite gloomy when I first saw him. The Black Knight, who was kneeling and crying in front of the winter tree.
Until then, I had no idea that this man would be my guardian knight.
It was quite a curious little thing. Why was he crying like that at that time? I knew that Assisi was a bit of a dismal person, but I had never wondered why he was so depressed. Also, I couldnât ask him because we werenât that close back then.
Hmm. I was in deep thought, pondering about something I had never thought before. That was when I saw Assisiâs eyes.
His greenish golden eyesâŠ
I always had my eyes on it, but every time I saw it, I would think that the color of his eyes was so mystical and beautiful. Besides, it was exceptionally transparent.
âAssisi, hands!â
Since Assisi was staring at me with those glassy eyes, I suddenly wanted to tease him and stick my hand on him. I didnât expect much, but he really put his hands neatly on my hand. Such behavior was so natural that I burst into laughter.
âHehe, you really gave me your hands. Just like a puppy.â
Only then did he seem to have realized that I had treated him as such. Assisiâs face turns red, and I felt like I would die. This was just so funny.
âDo you know how to give me your hand? Good boy, Assisi. Good boy.â
I reached out to pat his head, but I couldnât since Assisi pulled his hand out with a flushed face.
Geez, how could he be so cute? He was really the best knight, except for the fact that he could be kind of stubborn sometimes.
