Yuki instinctively gazed at the shrill shriek coming from the back.

Then, I slowly turned around so that it wouldn’t look unnatural.

At that place, there was an elegant man with black hair being surrounded by a lot of women.

Is he the second prince, Naaotto?

『I’m certain about it. He’s Naaotto.』

Lyra, who has actually seen him, told me.

Surrounded by women, he was dressed simply, but it couldn’t hide his noble aura at all.

We could get a glimpse of His Highness Naaotto‘s face from the crowd.

“…!!?”

I felt like I’ve seen this face somewhere.

Where did I see it…

I can’t remember it.

Did I see it in Lyra’s memory?

But I don’t think that’s right.

It felt like I saw it a long time ago…

“Wh, why is he here!!!?”

“Eh?”

Yuki grabbed my arm as if she was in a hurry.

Then she pulled my arm as hard as she could.

“We’ll run away from here…”

“Eh?”

Without even waiting for my response, Yuki took my arm and started running.

I also moved my legs in order to follow Yuki.

“Ple, please wait. Yuki…what’s going on?”

After moving quite far from His Highness Naaotto, Yuki’s feet stopped when we could no longer see His Highness Naaotto.

I looked at Yuki, whose feet had stopped and her arms were slowly lowered and asked her what’s going on.

Then, Yuki had a sorrowful expression.

“Yuki…”

It was so painful to look at Yuki that was about to cry, I instinctively hugged Yuki’s small body.

Yuki didn’t cry, but her body was slightly trembling.

Even though Yuki is always full of energy, what exactly is going on here.

I don’t know how long we were in that position.

After a while, Yuki slowly moved away from me.

“Sorry, Rachel. Thank you. I’m okay now.”

It was painful to look at Yuki’s smiling expression.

“What is…going on?”

“… I can’t talk here because I don’t know who might be listening. I’ll tell you when we get back to the house, but I have to find a little more information before we go back.”

Yuki said that she can’t speak now.

Because it would be bad if someone else heard about it.

Is it that dangerous?

“I also want information, but I’m more worried about Yuki. You’re still pale. I don’t think it’s too late to collect information even after we go back and refresh ourselves.”

“… Rachel. I’m sorry. I didn’t think that I was such a weak person. You’re right, let’s go home.”

Then, we decided to go back to Yuki’s house to refresh ourselves.

“His Highness Naaotto looked just like someone I knew. No. He’s definitely that person.”

Shortly after arriving at Yuki’s house, Yuki slowly said so.

Apparently, His Royal Highness Naaotto seemed to be an acquaintance of Yuki.
