As soon as they heard the butler’s words, several people’s expressions hardened, and Seraphine immediately opened her mouth as if trying to lighten the mood.

“That’s a pretty scary thing to say. You must be joking, right?”

“No, I’m probably serious. I gave a similar warning when I visited with Serista before I entered the academy.”

“Yes… ?”

“So I had no choice but to share the bed with Serista. Of course, we really just slept together.”

“That, that happened too… .Yes… .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

Seraphine and Silena’s expressions turned slightly cold at the sudden confession of the warrior and Serista.

Just before the atmosphere became slightly chaotic, Ethan carefully added an explanation to the warrior’s words.

“As the warrior said, there are many rough-hearted people in the North. Even though this is a branch of our family, the personalities of the Blackwood family are completely different. So, if possible, it seems better to follow the advice.”

“… Phew, I see. If the warrior and Prince Blackwood say so, then it must be true. Then, since there are only 4 rooms, we should first distribute the number of people. ”

In fact, there was no such thing as distribution. By the time we got here, there were already two groups that had pitched mixed tents.

The hero and heroines are in the largest room. Ethan and I are in one of the three remaining rooms.

Thomas can’t let Natalie sleep with another man, nor can he share a room with another woman, so they’ll naturally end up sharing a room. Luke is Seraphine’s lover, so he’ll naturally go into the warrior’s room.

In fact, if Luke goes in, the warrior’s room will become a little cramped, but it can’t be helped. In the first place, it’s in a location that’s too awkward to put in another room, so it would be better to put it in the same room as Seraphine.

‘I guess I can endure it for a day or so. No matter what, at least for a day or so.’

Luke is in the same room as me, so I don’t think he’ll stay up all night and bang me.

Anyway, that leaves only one combination. It’s the one that’s been causing the most problems lately for a number of reasons.

“If this happens, Agnes and Antonio will have to share a room… .”

“… … .”

“… … .”

“Uh, what do you two do?”

An awkward, suffocating atmosphere flowed between the two people who were still in a cold war.

Seraphine’s flustered face is quite rare to see, you know. It’s a rare sight.

If they were originally two people, they would have reacted as if they had no choice and gone in together even after hearing that they had to share a room. In my opinion, Agnes and Antonio were getting closer and closer.

However, the two are currently in a state of cold war after the battle at the Demon King’s Castle.

Even if we didn’t do anything and just shared a bed, it would be awkward. And the cause of it all was Seraphine over there, so of course she would be restless.

Even though one side was my friend and the other was my younger brother, I couldn’t take anyone’s side.

‘I think it will probably recover someday, but not right away anyway.’

… I tried not to get involved between the two of them, but it looks like I have no choice but to step in here.

“Miss Agnes, are you hesitating because you are concerned about Prince Antonio?”

“… What?”

“I see you are hesitating, so I wonder if you are having trouble because you think of Prince Antonio as a man.”

“… Don’t talk nonsense. Why should I care about such an idiot? You should only lose your judgment when it’s important, and then you’ll point a knife at me… Ah, anyway, I don’t care about such a guy anymore. ”

“… … .”

Antonio stands frozen in place with a blank expression on his face at Agnes’s remark.

Agnes’s venom had weakened slightly at the sight of Antonio like that, so now was the chance to pry into her heart.

“Then that’s fine. If Miss Agnes doesn’t mind Prince Antonio, then there’s no problem with sharing a room, right?”

“… … What?”

“If you are not conscious, it doesn’t matter if you stay in the same room with a man or a woman, right? Isn’t that right, Miss Agnes?”

“… … Well, that’s right. It doesn’t really matter.”

“Miss Agnes says so… What is Prince Antonio’s opinion?”

“… Me too, no, I don’t have a problem either.”

… Well, since we’ve decided to share a room, I hope that this will help the two of them get back to how they used to be.

It’s only one night anyway, so no matter what happens, how much will happen?

The two looked around awkwardly in a room that had no furniture except for a small bed and a table.

One is the crown prince of the empire, although there is little right of succession. The other is the next in line to the prestigious House of Elizabeth.

Although the two were of relatively high social status within the empire, their fighting was extremely childish.

“From here to here. Don’t cross this line.”

“… Okay. I have no reason to do something that Agnes Youngae hates. ”

A chilly Cold War atmosphere.

Just a week ago, two people were pointing swords and magic at each other, talking about life or death.

‘Why haven’t you apologized for a week? Do you really want to break up?’

‘Why haven’t you mentioned it for a week? Are you really that unloved?’

But if you peel back one layer, it was just Antonio and Agnes waiting for each other to come to them.

If things had gone as planned, Antonio could have started the reconciliation by approaching Agnes first, but unfortunately, that wasn’t the case now.

Because Antonio was quietly waiting for Agnes’ anger to subside.

Even if you say you never really intended to kill someone from the beginning, the fact that you pointed a knife at the person you loved doesn’t change. It was a shameless act to approach the person before they forgive you first.

I think Agnes Youngae probably understands my feelings too.

‘I’m sure Agnes knows that I’ve been restraining my skills.’

Even though he had several opportunities to cut off her neck during their fierce battle, he did not swing his sword. From the beginning, what Antonio wanted was not Agnes’ life, but her understanding.

Even when Agnes collapsed during the battle due to exhaustion, she pretended to collapse herself and finished the battle, so he probably didn’t know either.

So, he must have known that she was actually feeling sorry for him. Antonio believed only that thought and quietly waited for Agnes’ forgiveness.

‘I even tried to look after you on purpose. If you had a conscience, wouldn’t it be normal for you to come and apologize first?’

… Unfortunately, Agnes also had similar thoughts and just waited for Antonio to approach her first.

She also had several opportunities throughout the battle to blow Antonio’s head off at any moment, but she couldn’t bring herself to do it.

At the moment when Antonio seemed to be about to collapse, he showed his intention not to fight by lying down on the floor with all his strength.

Surprisingly, it was an act of considerable courage for Agnes. She had such strong pride that she was the first to give up the fight, even though she had tried to attack Lilith.

Agnes kept her distance from Antonio, thinking that she would not forgive him if he had the shameless expectation of receiving an apology from her, who had already been through such shameful experiences.

‘Why on earth… .’

‘Why on earth… .’

Why don’t you have any intention of fixing what happened that day?

Why don’t they even mention it to each other, rather than just demanding an apology?

… Really, is this the end of their relationship?

‘…I don’t know.’

‘… I don’t know.’

The two of them had already spent a week with such complicated thoughts in their heads.

The only furniture in the small room that Ethan and I entered was a bed. There wasn’t even a table or a closet.

In addition, it seemed like it had been used for a long time and had accumulated some dust. It was fortunate that I could use my cleaning magic, but it was definitely not a room that I would show off to guests.

“It looks like it was hastily arranged. It’s not a place you’d want to stay for long.”

“There’s nothing I can do. They came without warning. But it’s much better than sleeping in a tent in the snow.”

“… Certainly, it’s better than that.”

If we walk a little further from here, we’ll reach the estate where our carriage was tied up and the inn. From there, we won’t have to march any further, so we’ll take comfort in that.

And where is the bed? It’s a single bed, so the space is small, but that wasn’t a problem for Ethan and I, who were a couple.

“The bed is so narrow that I have no choice but to sleep snugly, Release.”

“Well, I guess there’s nothing I can do. There’s no particular problem, right?”

“It’s like that for me and Lilith, but I don’t know about other people. It’ll be especially difficult for Blaze Youngae and the Prince.”

“… Well, I’m sure you’ll figure it out.”

Surely she wouldn’t be childishly telling me not to come over on the bed or something. Even if Agnès had a bad personality, would she do something like that?

As I was looking out the window with that thought in mind, I noticed the ‘Silverwood Knights’ running around the territory with their shirts off in this weather.

‘Are they really crazy?’

It was truly disgusting to see a group of two-meter tall, muscular giants wandering around.

I was trying to watch the snow fall, but all I got was the snow. Well, what else is there to see in a territory where only men live?

‘……uh?’

What the heck is that? Did I see something wrong?

The Silverwood Knights are obviously made up of only men. Why are there women there?
