Chapter 07 ─ Lucyelle Liz Vermillion

Once we got inside, Lucy was standing still in a corner.

I didn't know what to do, she was shivering like she had hypothermia.

I stood at a far stop and with my hands in a basket I grabbed so she could see I wasn't planning on doing anything to her I said.

"I'm sorry for everything you went through, but for the sake of your health, you'll be staying here for a while."

"Your younger sister, Diana-san also agreed."

"... Diana agreed?"

Her eyes looked at me with a bit of fear.

"I understand that you've gone through difficult things because of that guy. But don't worry, consider this place a safe space where you can recover, you have your own room."

Despite saying that she didn't believe me.

In the end Lucy stayed in that corner until night fell, where the robots disguised as nurses took her to the bathroom and then to bed.

◇

The next day was the same.

"Good morning."

I was getting ready for breakfast.

Oddly enough, I never made breakfast for my fiancées.

Mostly because I had Ixion who did it and also that Alisa was the daughter of a rich family.

Lucy was in a different outfit.

The robots informed Ixion that she had bruises all over her body.

Any more damage and she would suffer internal trauma and bleeding.

That made me pretty angry.

I served breakfast on the table to Lucy and I went to sit on the couch.

She stared at the plate as if she thought I put something on it.

Isn't this girl very suspicious?

No. She lived a traumatic experience, a person like that you have to take care of her as if she were a baby or a piece of crystal art.

After breakfast I went upstairs to change and came downstairs with my uniform on.

It's been two weeks since I missed classes because of Derrick's bastard.

My homework really piled up.

I told the robot nurses to cook Lucy lunch, anything she asked for they would give her.

If she wants to go for a walk they should guard her with their lives.

I looked at Lucy one last time before leaving, her hand slowly moved to grab the spoon.

◇

Night fell.

Normally classes don't last this long, but thanks to Derrick's bastard I'll have to spend the next few days getting supplemental classes.

I hate this, at least Erselica and the others are with me to keep me company.

Why was I glad to have those idiots around me?

Opening the door and greeting the robot nurses I went to the kitchen for some juice.

There I found Lucy washing the dishes.

I asked Ixion and he reported.

"Lucy said that if she would live here, she would at least like to do something useful."

"That's not necessary, she's a guest and shouldn't worry about trivial things."

I walked over and called out to her.

"Lucy."

"Kyah!"

She let out a scream when she heard me.

The plate in her hands fell to the floor, unintentionally other plates fell, it was a domino effect.

I was thoughtful as I watched that destruction.

Lucy immediately became defensive in a fetal position.

"Please don't hit me! I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry! It won't happen again! Please don't─!"

*Breaking*

I instantly understood why she was so afraid of me.

(I'm sorry for not realizing it, Lucy.)

I started breaking other plates.

Ixion yelled at me.

"Master, you're going to repair them right? Because don't think I will."

I ignored him and sat on the floor near her.

"I broke plates too. That means we're neck and neck."

"Huh?"

She didn't understand why I did it, but I explained.

"I'm sorry I didn't realize sooner that you were afraid of me because I was a man."

"Jude hurt you, I apologize as a man for what he did. For that reason, let me help you."

"I want you to be better, I want you to... Diana wants you to smile again."

Diana had to come today, but I met her at the academy and she said she wasn't interested in telling me something.

I continued to reassure Lucy.

"I heard only rumors about you, but after watching you get off the boat with Jude. It made me very angry, for that reason let me help you smile again."

Lucy was still wary of me, but I noticed how a slight gleam in her dark eyes shone.

She held out her hand to me.

"... Could you help me up?"

"Sure."

After getting up I helped her.

"We need to clean this up, that ball over there keeps getting angry."

Lucy looked at Ixion and she freaked out.

"What is that thing?"

"It thinks it's a familiar or a fairy."

"Do fairies exist?"

"I'm nothing of the sort, I'm an artificial intelligence."

"In other words, it's a fairy."

Ixion was pressing his spherical body on my head, he was very angry for telling him fairy again.

I laughed at him, I told Lucy let's go eat outside.

She nodded slightly.

I introduced myself why I don't remember doing it.

"It's a little late to say it, but my name is Rudel."

"... Lucy Algrand."

Her name isn't that, but she insists on saying it, I'm fine with her at least telling me her name.

◇

The days were slowly passing since Lucy started talking to me.

Little by little she was opening her heart to others.

When I returned home, I was talking to Lucy.

To be careful when talking, I'm the one who talks about daily events anyway.

She doesn't talk about anything in particular.

The sapling was on the table, it looked like a decoration.

"Then, after that, Liam and the others brought the professor down by accident.

Lucy smiles slightly.

At first she was expressionless, but eventually a smile appeared.

She is also treated with medication prepared by Ixion.

Anyway, it is important to let her rest slowly and keep Jude away.

Lucy hugged the capsule containing the sapling and spoke to me.

"Sounds like fun at the academy."

"Oh, oh, is it fun? I laughed a lot though."

It was funny how she looked at me saying "Tell me more."

Lucy looked at the sapling.

"... Recently, I've been wondering if I really liked Jude-kun. At first I thought he was an attractive guy and I unintentionally asked him out, the date was fun... but I realized that we lived in totally different worlds and so I turned him down."

"But one day out of the blue he came to threaten me, I was afraid and accepted. Even though his violent aptitude increased with each day, I stayed by his side because I thought it was my fault he became like that. But when I calmed down, I couldn't understand, the kind Jude-kun I knew was gone and only that boy was left."

She finally built up my confidence to talk.

"You should take it easy. You shouldn't think about horrible things from the past, even I don't."

"Yes. It will be for the best."

Lucy's smile remains dark,

According to Erselica, she shouldn't be allowed to make important decisions here.

To tell the truth, I want her to quickly change to the next man and befriend him, but I don't know how crazy Jude will act.

Worst of all, it was Diana who told Jude about her family to speed things up.

Diana, what the hell were you doing?

"... I couldn't take classes for the first semester, and that's what I'm worried about."

"I'm talking to a friend, let's call him one, I asked him about your classes and he said you'll have to take a crash course over the vacations, do you think you can do it?"

"My grades weren't bad, but not good either. I think I'll need some help."

"Hahaha, well, I'll help you if I have to repeat a class."

"You really will?"

For some reason the gleam in Lucy's eyes increased more.

Did she really need a lot of help with her classes?

"Master, you're doing it again."

"Doing what?"

"Not realizing it is a sin, which I don't plan to tell you."

Ixion walked away.

Lucy said.

"The sapling... it's very pretty, my grandmother told me about it, but I never believed it was real."

"Is it?"

Come to think of it, the sapling is of no use to me and I'm not interested in taking care of it either, I'm no botanist or admirer of plants.

"Lucy, if you want you can keep it. I'll give it back to Aster someday anyway, it's best to find someone to take care of it."

(You'll also be a future priestess, so it's better that it's in your hands.)

I looked at Lucy to find out why she wasn't speaking.

She looked at the sapling with fixation, her cheeks were red.

"If you're tired, why don't you rest in your room?"

"Yes... I will."

She took the sapling with her.

The robot nurses came and took Lucy away.

She still seems to be mentally unstable.

Ixion commented again.

"Master, you're doing it again."

What is this guy talking about?

◇

I went to the pet cemetery and left some candy for poor Lucy Bunny.

Ixion said it was impossible to save her, the best he could do was to leave her in a better state than she was in.

When I returned home, I was surprised when I walked into the kitchen.

"... Dinner?"

Ixion is peering over the table.

"It's Aster's local cuisine."

When I was in front of a different dish than the one in the kingdom, Lucy walked in.

She was wearing an apron.

"Rudel-kun, you've arrived already. Ah, umm, I'm indebted to you, so I thought I'd at least cook for you."

When I touch the food on the table, Ixion shoots lasers from his eyes and attacks my right hand.

"It hurts!"

"Master, respect what Lucy prepared."

"No, it looked delicious, so I thought I'd try it."

"Take the spoon and taste it."

When I looked at the back of my right hand, there were traces of burns. A coat of arms was faintly displayed.

(Damn you Ixion, I hope this won't be forever.)

I bandaged my right hand and sat up.

Lucy placed a sacred tree sapling on the table.

I tasted the food, it was very tasty.

Lucy looks at us and laughs.

"I'm happy to hear that. Even with this, I'm good at housework."

She said it in a very energetic way, she was recovering at last.

It seems that the fallen princess has had a hard time.

Diana, who has been through the same hardships, no, your sister is decent.... After all, reincarnated people are no good.

Lucy is a little embarrassed.

"What's wrong?"

"Umm, having dinner together... it's almost like it's a romantic evening."

"Really?"

If she thinks that, it's Ixion's fault for turning off the lights and putting candles.

"Let's go eat now. I'm hungry and I can't stand it."

Lucy had a big smile on her face.

"Y-Yes!"

I hope this person finds their next partner soon... but hearing Diana's story seems like it would be difficult. How did this really happen?

Looking at the bandage on the back of my right hand, I wished that the guardian's emblem would be delivered to its rightful owner as soon as possible.

◇

"Lucy, shall we go shopping?"

"Yes!"

The first semester was almost over, only the final exams were left and the vacations would begin.

Lucy has improved so much, she already smiles more, is more energetic and wears lighter clothes that are no longer gym clothes.

She even wears clothes a little recommended if she lived alone, I can see from her beautiful white thighs and see how big her breasts are in her blouses.

No, no.

I mustn't think about that.

I have wonderful fiancées who like Lucy and Sara were blessed with great breasts to my delight.

Just a little longer and I can satiate my anxiety at not seeing them.

Lucy put on her coat, I heard footsteps in the doorway and then someone repeatedly rang the doorbell.

Who could it be?

I don't think it's Erselica, I gave her money to keep her out of the way.

... Don't tell me she's already spent all the money!

If so, I'll give her a good lecture.

Lucy was putting on her coat, I opened the door and was about to yell at Erselica.

"Huh?"

But I gasped.

Lucy rushed over.

"Rudel-kun. I'm already─"

"...!"

"Lucy..."

"Ju...de-kun..."

In front of us, with his intense yellow eyes and a crazy look.

Jude's yandere was standing at my door.

"I came to pick you up Lucy. We're going home!"

-----------------

Let's go with Lucy's fanservice and the best thing is that she received an update her design, this was going to be revealed in vol 8 of the main novel, but I didn't care, I'm doing it now.
