Episode 40: The Commander's Son Swears to His Fiancee

It was early and the date incognito was approaching the end. Alice muttered while looking at the flower garden.

"I didn't know a day could go so fast"

"I feel the same"

"Yes... I spent more time with Arth today than usual. It was a very fulfilling day, but is it selfish that I don't want to go home so much?"

After saying that, Alice approached me and smiled sadly. After seeing her expression, I instinctively hugged Alice.

"Eh, Arth?"

"you're not selfish. If you think so, my hard work today was worth it."

"Arth..."

There was a person named Kai who worked hard to make a day today. From the adjustment of the schedule to the matter of security. And I did it after weighing all the other factors in the movement of the target person, but if it is well received, I definitely want to do it next time. If you go on a date incognito like this, you will be more conscious of being alone, which makes me happy.

I'm not particularly dissatisfied with the usual flirting, but once in a while, it's necessary to have an outside event like this.

It's less than a year until I graduate from school. After I graduate, I will join the Knights and marry Alice. The relationship changes from being a fiancee to being a married couple. Before that happens, I want to be with Alice to make up for the time I've been wasting.

Well, I want to enjoy my relationship as a lover. platonic relationship? Very fine. It's not strange to have a lover like that. Rather, it would be better to eliminate the possibility of cheating. Although I know that Alice won't do that, but there's a female who was blackmailed right?

Well, the chances of Alice cheating are pretty low, but even if she did, I wouldn't do anything to her. yes,to Alice only. I plan to make her partner die a miserable death while regretting being born in this world, or to make him think that it would be better to die than live forever.

It's kind of like I'm a yandere, but I'm never looking for destructive love. All I wants is Alice's happiness. That's why I don't intend to act with selfish thoughts... probably not. I can't say no. It's human. Well, if there is a man who wants to be with Alice more than me, at worst I will withdraw for Alice's happiness.

Well, after that, hang yourself and die... maybe? No, this body spec is too high, so I don't know how to die. It should probably be fine as long as the heart is crushed, but I wonder if the sword will pierce the heart. There shouldn't be such a monster like that, but well, if it comes down to it, I'm determined to do so.

"Hey, Alice. I like everything about Alice."

Everything is lovely, including cuteness, patience, imperfections and everything. I'm sure I'll never fall in love with someone like this again. That's how much I love Alice.

"That's why you can rely on me more."

"But... I can only cause trouble for Arth."

"I'll give you a lot of trouble too so I'll accept everything."

"... can I really rely on Arth?"

I nodded to Alice when she asked me that, and then I kneeled on the ground as if the knight was swearing, and gently shook my hand and said.

"No matter how many years, how many decades, even if I'm born again, I will always be by Alice's side. I will never let go of this hand. Until Alice dies, no, even if she dies, I will never let go of her hand like this."

"I also... want to be by your side too Arth..."

"Oh, we're together forever."

That's why I vowed again on this day. No matter what happens, even if an otome game stands in our way, I will definitely remove them and protect Alice. Never leave Alice's side.

It requires information, power and authority. That's why we increase the number of pawns and become stronger. The strongest in this world, no, I will definitely become strong to a level where no one can stand in my way. No matter what kind of magic you come across, even if something unexpected happens, you have the strength to protect Alice.

There's no need to show off your power in vain. The important thing is to grasp the standards of this world and the existence that can break them. It would also be the absorption of irregular existences like reincarnators.

Irregulars are easy to kill, but giving them knowledge and being reincarnated in the same world would be troublesome. Depending on the case, it may be necessary to grasp the mechanism of reincarnation, but there is no need to rush this.

The first priority is to eliminate the existence that can be an obstacle for Alice and me. After all, the heroine of an otome game needs special attention. The initial heroine was taken in here for the time being. The rest is up to the heroine of other sequels, but since the story is unknown here, when will there be an event, and what kind of event will Alice be involved in?

Well, I plan to complete the elimination of the initial capture targets by the end of the day, so I should think about it carefully even after that. If the capture target can be eliminated, the immediate problem will be resolved. I should be able to concentrate only on Alice for a while. No, to be honest, I want to love Alice more, but I can't flirt with her without worrying if I don't settle the problem first.

With that in mind, I enjoyed my date with Alice.
