Yeah, that’s a reasonable guess.

 

How do I look like an assassin?

 

As I nodded with tears welling up, then I realized something.

 

Come to think of it, an assassin?

 

Diamide had a troubled expression on his face.

 

“All of the assassins so far had been sent by one person.”

 

“….
Assassins? Was there a real assassin? ”

 

Damian gave me a sad look when I glanced up at him with tears in my eyes.

 

He grumbled a little.

 

“All right, forget it.”

 

“B-but.”

 

“Why did I say that to a kid like you?”

 

Hey, you’re only an eight-years-old kid as well.

 

Damian then reached out to me unexpectedly.

 

“Alright.”

 

“What?”

 

“Take my hand and stand up.”

 

..Huh?

 

I blinked.

Am I hallucinating?

 

However, Damian didn’t withdraw his outstretched hand.

 

“It’s my fault that I pulled out a dagger out of the blue.”

 

“Pardon?”

 

“So stop crying, you’re ugly when you cry.”

 

At that point, I became angry at his words.

 

Hey, who are you calling ugly?!

 

According to the Empress, I’m the cutest girl in the world.

 

Of course, the Empress is completely blinded by her affections to me.

“Aren’t you going to get up?”

 

Damian moved his hands.

 

I only looked at him like I was going to cry.

 

I want to get up, too.
But…

 

“My legs.”

 

“Legs?”

 

“It’s too weak.”

 

Damian was silent for a moment.

 

I think I understand a little bit about Damian’s expression now.

 

He thought I was ridiculous right?

 

I squinted at Damian, puffing up both cheeks.

 

He clicked his tongue.

 

“Then climb on my back.”

 

Carry me on your back?

 

I doubted my ears.

 

Damian, on the other hand, was serious.
He turned his back to me.

 

“H-how could the Crown Prince!”

 

Surprised, I shook my head.

 

Damian then returned my bewilderment with a sour look on his face.

 

“So you’re gonna keep sitting on the floor?”

 

“T-that’s……”

 

Well, I can’t sit like this all the time.

 

In the end, I swallowed my pride and was carried on Damian’s back.

 

The back of an eight-year-old boy was pretty wide compared to mine.

 

My tense body gently relaxed when I felt his warm body temperature.

 

“Thank you.”

 

“It’s okay, it’s my fault.”

 

I wrapped my arms around Damian’s neck.

 

I could feel the curvature of his bones over his thin clothes.

 

I was a little surprised.

 

‘Damian, you’re so skinny.’

 

He’s the Crown Prince of this country, yet he’s malnourished?

 

I couldn’t help but remember about the bullying he had to suffer.

 

Then the next time I visit, I’ll bring him something to eat.

 

Ah, but I can’t just leave like this.

 

“Wait a second, it’s mine.”

I pointed to a bundle of my clothes on the ground.

 

Damian asked me back in a sullen voice.

 

“… Are you making the Crown Prince work?”

 

“I-I’m not bossing you around…”

 

I replied glumly.

 

Damian shook his head and knelt as he picked the clothes.

 

“Thank you.”

 

“Yes.”

 

Damian carried me on his back as he started to walk.

 

I glanced at the bundle of clothes on his hand.

 

I even got candy from Mrs.
Weber, so I need to do my errands well.

 

Then, I opened my eyes wide.

 

Oh, right.
My candy!

 

Do you want some candy, Damian?

 

“Your Highness.”

 

“What?”

 

“Do you like candy?”

 

A person who gives food to others will be considered a good person.

 

I decided to start by offering Damian a snack.

 

“I do, but how could I eat it when I don’t know what others put in it?”

 

However, only a harsh answer came back.

 

Ugh.

 

I pouted my lips.

 

Seriously, he kept being suspicious over small things.

 

“Come on, sit here.”

 

Damian walked to the garden, putting me down on a dilapidated bench.

 

Unlike his harsh answer just now, he put me down very gently.

 

I took out all of the candy I had in my pocket.

 

“Are you really not going to eat the candy?”

 

“I’m not eating.”

 

He’s very stubborn.

 

In the end, I ate the candy without minding him.

 

The rustling sound made Damian glance back at me.

I pushed the yellow candy in my mouth.

 

“I’m not giving you any candy.”

 

“Weally, weally, awe you not going to eat it? It’s really good.” (“Really, really, are you really not going to eat it? It’s really good.)
