Chapter 34

34.) The northern princess was hiding her secret

(Charlotte POV)

[I wonder why Slow-sama loves that story]

She was lying thereon top of the bed while coveringher face withapillow.

Alicia-sama saidthat whenever she sawSlow-sama readingthat story,he wouldalways enter a trance. I really want to know why Slow-sama loves that story.

[I cant say it I cantsayanything about my past Whywashe interested in that kind of fairytale? Umm, is it possible that Slow-sama actually knew about my pastandthat is why he took an interest in that book?]

Maybe it was just a talkfromwhen he was a child,so there wont beanything meaningful on it, just purecuriosity.

Even though I think that I shouldhavebeencalmerwhen Slow-sama came here, when I see him getting slimmer by the day and see him right in front of me, it makes me hesitate to ask about it somehow.

[That should be impossible,shouldnt it? It was such a long time ago Even the memory in my mind hasturnedsomewhat vague]

If Slow-sama walksaround the academy right now,it will be a fatty that youonlysee once in a while. And I believethatafter he got the weight reducing medicine in his hands, his thinning speed became much faster.

Especially today, it mademe think, Eh? Isnt he a bitthinnerthan yesterday?

It was as if healreadyturnedhimself into someone else, and it makes meunable to get thecourage to ask.

[But, is it okay like this? If it stayslike this]

My lifeuntilnow was filled with peacefulness.

Today,I was able to talk to Alicia-sama that has been watching the affair from afar up till today.

Slow-sama and Alicia-sama.

They always fought with each other even in the past, but I always thought, what a nice pair, while jealously looking at them a number of times.

But even though my chest had a prickling feeling whenever I thoughtabout those two, Iamjust an attendant.

Slow-samas attendant.

No matter who it is, they willsayI was his attendant.

Itwouldbe so wrong for me tobeaskingformore happiness than this.

[Even though I have been secretly helped by Slow-sama numerous times, its impossible! Its reallyreallyreally impossible! I think I have become crazy If Iamthrown away,Iwillhavenowhereto go!](changed was to am; could be was if will is changed

to would)

Charlottewas flappingherlegs for a while. Then,shecovered herface on the pillow aftershewas sick of it.

Ihavealwaysdone my bestto become a cool attendant,but only this room is special. Because only inside this room I can become my former self.

(well, I made somewhat big changes. If you could take a look to see if you agree with them)

[Hmmm, well If I said who I really am now, Hey,I am the princess of the northern empire wouldnt it be strange? He will think Im weird]

Slow-sama was once called the wind child prodigy.

But, he somehowslowlychangedinto something weird. He became fatandlazy, he was always over eating, he began saying things in sarcasm, and he alwaysatesnacks in between time.

But weirdly,he turned into a nice guy only towards me.

I dont know why he did it, but it is Slow-sama Iamtalking about, so I believe there must be some meaning behind it.

It was just as if Slow-sama was seeing a big dream, and that dream made a change on his mind.

When he finally told me that, even though I felthappy, I also feltsomewhat lonely.

That Slow-sama, whomiscurrently still in the middle of dieting,isright now trying to find a dangerouspersonthatiscurrently lurking aroundinthis academy. And that was personally requested by the headmaster,Sir Morozov.

Awesome.

Slow-sama is an incredible person just like Ihavealways thought, or so I thought after hearing that story.

This is Slow-sama Iamtalking about, so is it possible he already knew who I really am?

As I think about things so far, a lot of thingsarestarting to come to mind.

There is also this one question that I always had since I was a child.

[Why did Slow-sama made me an attendant]

For me to become an attendantin the Duke DeningsHousehold is something not appropriate no matter how you see it.

There is only one reason why:I cant use magic at all.

With just that,I was already disqualified as an attendant to the Dening Household.

Becausethroughouthistory,the Dening Householdhasalwaysbeenthroughseries of battles. The standard plan of training is quite simple,througha real battle. It was learning by doing the real thing.

I was also taught about things such as how to survive since I was a kid, and for someone who cant even use magic and only became a half-complete attendant, I canstillremember those daysthatweretruly harsh.

Even though I can think fondly of those days,if I think back,there was a time when I needed to remember poisonous vegetation no matter what, even if I needed to try it myself, and whenever I think back at that time, I always thought the Dening Household is extremely dangerous.

And in that family, if there are people whowereborncapableof usingmagic, they will soon throw those people into the battle field to forge themselves.

That is why the onlypersonfrom the Duke DeningsHouseholdcurrentlyin this academyisSlow-sama.(this is quite troubling, if I remember correctly wasnt the head master knows Slows father? ) no problem, this refers to those CURRENTLY IN the academy, I added that word and it works.

Iamso happy here.

That is why I have been thinking, it would be truly great if this kind of life continuesas it is.

I believe Slow-sama will soon resign from this academy once he regainshis radiance, and soon he will begoingto those kindsof placesfull of battle.

If that time comes,then Iwont be able togo where Slow-sama will be, and the Dening Household will choose someone moreappropriatefor him and makethemSlow-samas new attendant.(same as the previous chapters note)

It has been a while since I last read thisfairytaleof The Dragons Bride.

The black dragontookaway a princess that could connect her heart with the monsters.

As of now,I still havent awakenedthat power yet, as the northern empire princess, as long as I live, there will be one day that I will awaken this power.

The southern empirehasalwaysbeenlooking for mebecause ofthe probabilitythat I could have thispower to understand monsters.

If there isa one-in-a-millionchancethatthe southern empire knew where I was, I believe thattheDaris and the Dening Householdswouldbe entangled in trouble.

I have been resolving myself, to dotheone thing I need to do the most.

[I will not let Slow-sama who have been helping me togetentangled into any trouble]

If the story in the story bookistrue,I wish that a truly strong black dragon takesme away to a place truly far from everyone.

Everyone will be happythat way, or so Ibelieve.

[zzzzz]

That was what I have been thinking lately.

{Slow and Charlotte, I know things about you two because I have been always watching you both,nyaa}

The Great Wind Spiritiscurrently looking at Charlotte who was lostinher selfpondering on top of the bed.

No matter how much interest it has for Slow, it cant be compared to how interesting Charlotte is.

That is why it wonttellSlow what Charlotteisthinking when sheisalone.

Because it stilldoesnt have the righttosayonesthoughtsto someone else;even though it has been living since forever.

And then, slowly, the Great Wind SpiritArt Angerealizedsomething.

Slow and Charlotte.

One day,this story will be theirs.

{The dragons bride. It was actually a story about a noble man with the princess ofthenorthern empire. They both had a good favour between them nyaa. But one day, the princess was taken from the noble man by the black dragon Sekhmet. The black dragon Sekhmet was far, far, far more powerful than the noble man nyaa. But eventhoughthe nobleman was getting stronger since then, it was still not enough to recover the princess from the black dragon Sekhmet nyaa}

It was a story that begun ten or so years ago.

It was involving one of Daris most influential Noble.

He was always able to produce excellent soldiersone after another, and he also held a huge territory in his hands. He was the third son of the Duke DeningsHousehold, Slow Dening.

{Slow. It is true that you already know who Charlotte reallyis. The moment you told Charlotte whatyou hadalways held on your chest-}

The anime, [Girl and Shuya]

There is a fact in the back setting that could clearlybeseen, that the piggy duke and the commoner attendant, Charlotte had some kind of connection between them.

The viewer has become tired of waiting.

The people who knew about the back setting of the story have been shouting to remake the animation and make him the real protagonist.

But there is someone that always standsthere alone fighting against the southern empire without anyone knowing.

Thenorthernempire princesslivingas a commoner attendantwas never revealed till the end, the piggy duke was always protecting her from the shadows.

It was certain that the curtain to their love story will be lifted in the near future.

{Your story will begin nyaa}
