To the eternal you

Your Highness has been quite happy recently. Most of the time, she is always seeing new things and new scenery. The unique sense of freedom that she has never experienced in the castle tower is still fresh in her memory.

Although this freedom has not been easy, and it is coming to an end.

She didn't know where the idea of ​​being close to home came from. In fact, she was very worried about Sara and Linghua teacher now, and of course she was a little bit worried about the general!

It's just that if there is some kind of guilt towards Sara and Ms. Linghua, then for the general, it is simply fear of her punishment, but besides that fear, there is also a certain kind of calmness?

After all, His Royal Highness has already done this, and he doesn't feel unhappy, so it seems that even if he is punished, he won't feel wronged!

Therefore, when she heard that the traveler planned to take her to see Mrs. Kamisato Ayaka before returning to the shogunate, she did not refuse.

The day before she left, she said goodbye to the people on board one by one. Ms. Gan Yu and Ms. Ke Qing also gave her new dolls, one was a soft big white sheep, and the other was an exquisite jade hairpin.

There are also many scattered things, which I asked Ying to pack and put on her body, and hand them to the other party together after she went to the shogunate.

Then he followed Ying and Shenhe to the Shenli House, and before entering the forest of towns, he saw Ayato Shenli standing at the entrance with a polite and polite smile on his face.

It's just that when he saw the traveler, a trace of scrutiny flashed in his eyes.

"From a moral point of view, I should thank you, Traveler."

He bowed slightly, his clothes were gentle and delicate, with the nobility and elegance of aristocrats, and his tone would not give people a condescending feeling.

"Even without a promise, you made the best choice, but—"

"From a rational point of view, please forgive me as Ayaka's elder brother who can't forgive you."

His Highness had a timid expression, hiding behind Shen He, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

Shen He just rubbed the little guy's head, squatted down and whispered softly in her ear.

"...Sorry. What I have done has caused great harm to the Kamisato family and Ayaka. I also know that it is difficult to explain anything with these empty words, but this is all I can do now. ..but if possible, can you let me meet Miss Shenli? At least I want to apologize to her personally and make some amends."

Ying's expression was filled with a strong sense of guilt.

"Even if it's just to see me from a distance...Of course, if she doesn't want to see me, it's fine to leave now."

These words made Shenli Ayato think of her a little higher, and Thomas, who was standing behind Ayato, also had a smile on his brows and eyes at this moment.

"No need, as a matter of fact - Ling Hua should want to see you now, as for the choice of forgiveness or not, I will leave it to her."

Kamisato Ayato staggered away, bowed again to His Royal Highness, and said invitingly.

"Similarly, the same is true of your Highness. Sister Sister has been missing you very much recently. If you don't mind, please go to the Kamisato House with us first to go to Fengchen."

"Hmm~! I'm going! You haven't been bullied these days, Mr. Linghua, have you?"

The little guy finally became interested, which is a good sign, at least it can give Yato a little more confidence in winning the general's forgiveness.

Therefore, his smile is more sincere.

"Of course not. We tried our best to protect her from the influence of the outside world, but the uneasy moment of worrying about you and making mistakes kept her awake at night."

Nobles, no matter how unwilling they are to participate in such gatherings, the noble education he has received since he was a child will always make him package what he really wants to say.

Similarly, he was also beating the traveler lady secretly, but looking at her tired and depressed appearance, perhaps these verbal punishments were far less than her inner torture.

Thinking about it this way, it was unnecessary for him to do so.It's just that he would do it again even if he did it all over again. It would be too careless for a brother to turn a blind eye to the grievances suffered by his sister.

Of course, he wouldn't provoke the other party endlessly, that's meaningless, it's just to give her a blow.

Lingren calmly restrained himself, and then invited His Royal Highness to get in the car, and set off along the path opened in the forest to the Kamisato House. On the side of the road, there were still a few little foxes with leaves on their heads.

After arriving at Shenli House, Ayato first ordered Thomas to go to the shogunate to inform the news that His Royal Highness had returned, and then prepared for the complicated and trivial matters after that, as well as the follow-up work to guide public opinion.

Of course, Linghua will definitely not be able to go out in a short time, at least until the turmoil is completely over and the situation has completely improved.

He only has such a younger sister, and he can't cherish it no matter how much he cherishes it.

——The girl is praying——

In a remote and deserted hut, there are still a few fallen leaves in the courtyard, flying in disorder with the winter wind, and even a few stubborn dark green grasses can be seen growing in the corners.

His Highness seemed a little frightened by this scene, his small face wrinkled, and his big eyes were full of tears, and he hurried forward.

And Ying followed closely behind, only Shen He glanced at the chimney of the house with a little doubt, closed his eyes and sniffed lightly.

There is a smell of smoke.

They knocked on the door, and the little guy shouted in a panic: "Teacher Linghua! Teacher Linghua! Your Highness is here to see you!"

There were some flustered footsteps in the room, and then there was the cough of a certain eldest lady who seemed to be seriously ill, and the voice was weak: "Your Highness? Are you back!"

This made Ying even more uneasy, she lowered her head, not knowing what to say.

As the door opened, a fragrant wind like a winter plum came blowing in, as well as the unique... hot pot smell in the streets and alleys of Liyuegang?

Then there was the slightly surprised voice of the gentle girl: "Hey, is the traveler here too..."

Ying just forced an ugly smile, as if she wanted to say something, and then found that there was a drop of bright red sauce on the corner of Miss Linghua's mouth, the corners of her eyes were also red, and her lips were like thin cherry blossoms. Also very charming.

"Miss Kamisato..."

But before she finished speaking, a white figure flew out swiftly, striking her face in the posture of a knight flying kick, it was Paimon.

She was still holding a pair of chopsticks in her hand, and inserted a bitten tofu bun. The aroma was overflowing, which caused the corners of His Highness's mouth to shed tears.

"You bastard... Executioner... Gulu, you still have the face to come back!"

First he reprimanded inarticulately, and then he gave the traveler a look of resentment, the little Paimeng didn't learn much of the elegance of a lady in the past few days getting along with Miss Linghua, on the contrary, he became more resentful.

She stepped on Ying's face, and continued with her shocked expression: "If Miss Linghua and I hadn't sent you the Flower of Heart, wouldn't you have forgotten about us?"

As he spoke, Paimon also began to cry, and while wiping his nose, he ate the remaining tofu buns.

"Paimon was so worried at that time, I thought something happened to you, but I didn't expect you to leave me here, didn't you agree that we are best partners!"

Hearing Paimon's cry, the traveler was silent for a moment, not caring about the oil stains at the corner of her mouth, but hugged her in his arms and apologized softly.

Only the hypocritical Paimeng squeezed a few times, then slowly hugged her neck, and said angrily: "Next time you do this again, I will really go crazy and run away from home! Also, hurry up and Ayaka-san apologizes!"

At this time, Ying also met the eyes of Miss Shenli who had secretly tidied up her appearance at some point. She had a decent smile as if she had just seen her for the first time. Although there was still a hint of sadness in her eyes, she did not show it.

"Long time no see, Traveler."

"...I, I owe you a lot, so if you want me to do anything, as long as I can do it."

Ultimately, the choice is not the romantic way.

However, the elegant and polite girl didn't care, she just squatted down with her knees covering the hem of her skirt, and gently stretched out her hands.

"Then please go to the house first, I think you also have a lot to say to me."

The frost-haired girl's eyes were filled with motherly tenderness.

"If you don't say something touching enough, I won't forgive you."
