The Reincarnation of a Princess
Your friend is stupid

"Lauren, it's been a while." Leo broke the silence.

Why do I say silence? That's because right now there's only the two of us in the room!

Silla was out before, he said to give us space to speak with four eyes.

About his words regarding the knight earlier, I clearly rejected them.

I just want to start a relaxing journey, without having to be watched and cared for.

If there was a knight, wouldn't it already be like I was being watched? Ah I am no longer a child, I can even solo hordes of monsters!

"Yes Leo, it's been a while." Answer me with a smile.

After I answered like that, we were again struck by silence.

For some reason, this feels awkward!

Uh, do I have to open the topic first?

"Le–"

"I'm sorry if everything happened all of a sudden, Lauren."

Leo cut me off and looked at me with a sad look, "It seems you don't accept me, yes." Next languid.

Ah, somehow seeing her face makes me more haunted by guilt.

"Sister Silla, I don't need a knight!"

Those words seemed to go back to my memory. The vehement rejection I uttered was not for Leo, but for Silla.

I don't want to be considered a child, especially for Silla. He needs to know I can't be there for him forever.

Brother Fall already understands about my problem, but for this stubborn woman? I don't know at all.

Everyone is definitely growing, nor can I expect that he will always be a sister secretary forever.

And for Leo's situation right now, maybe this guy is misunderstanding.

Hufh, I have to solve this misunderstanding!

"Lo." I clenched Leo's cheeks, making the handsome face face towards me.

"It doesn't mean I didn't accept you, I said that before just because I was upset with Silla." Obviously, I hope that the man doesn't misunderstand.

"really?" I nodded and let go of my arms, again giving Leo the room to free.

Leo's height is quite troublesome, when I had to tiptoe a little just to hold his face!

"You're becoming a knight not on Silla's orders, are you?" My question was answered by a quick slit from Leo.

If I notice, this Leo is more like a child who's afraid of being hated by his mother.

Though I knew that he wanted to become my personal knight out of his own will, but somehow I felt like I wanted to work on him.

"But, don't you want to be my personal knight because of Silla's coercion? It was because of the agreement between you two, right?"

Hearing my words, Leo shook his head brutally. "No!" Her speech.

I smiled at him, not knowing why I became interested just to hear his voice.

"So, can you explain?"

I led Leo to sit back on the couch. Why that? Because this man is not willing to give up his hand on me at all!

"The beginning..."

From there, I heard a completely unexpected story.

..._____...

"Leo, we're leaving right away."

After listening to Leo's whole story, I finally decided to take him with me.

Remembering me and Olivia were girls, so there was no harm in bringing a man in as a guard.

"Thank you, Lauren."

Again Leo let out his smile, a smile that somehow always made me vibrate.

What's with this me ⁄(⁄ ___________⁄

"Po- Anyway, we have to be fast!"

What the hell is that, is there something funny?!

Akh, annoying!

"Ren, what's wrong?"

While staring at the park, Olivia suddenly touched my shoulder from behind. The shock I could not cover, ah since when my guard had become weakened like this.

"Olivia, I want to tell you a story."

Not knowing what possessed me, those words came out of my lips.

I could hear Olivia chuckling with amusement beside me, for some reason the piety reminded me of Leo again.

"What's so funny?!" Excruciate.

Olivia laughed now. The girl came forward and pinched both of my cheeks, "What happened to you Ren? Why has this cheek been blushing ever since?" His words were accompanied by laughter.

Wh-what?!!

Has my cheek kept blushing since?!

"Ma-where is! I-this is just because it's hot!" I started shaking my palms in front of my face, "Well, it's really hot today!"

Olivia took off her pinch, then started looking at me with her eyes that had already formed a crescent moon.

"Say you want a story?" Ask.

I looked at Olivia, I could see she was also looking back at me.

Should I tell you? About me and Leo?

Ah, I feel like I don't know why it can't feel to hold all this.

"Vi-via."

Why am I even nervous?

Olivia nodded, she retreated and stood right beside me.

"Yes Ren." Her speech.

Now, how do I get started?

"I have a friend, and that friend of mine met his old friend after a long time without seeing."

"Is your friend a boy or a girl?"

"Pe-woman."

Olivia ria, and asked me to continue.

"And when my friend met his old friend, somehow when he spoke it felt quite awkward."

I felt Olivia chuckle again, but she covered it all with her hands.

"La-continue." Her speech.

What's wrong with this?!

"My friend said when he saw his old friend's smile, it felt like his stomach was filled with butterflies."

Olivia was no longer able to cover her laughter, the girl was already like a madman laughing loosely.

"Now what's funny!"

Olivia took her tears, and even her laughter brought out tears.

What the hell is funny!

"It's stupid of your friend, Ren." Olivia began to rearrange her breathing, it seemed that the effect of excessive laughter was not good.

"Is your old friend a handsome guy?"

I'm nodding.

Leo is handsome, right? Well for what I lied, the boy grew up to be a handsome guy.

"It looks like your friend is starting to realize his feelings."
