“Young Duke Jake, come with me. Why are you standing so far away?”
“Right, Jake. Just a little while!”
“…… okay.”
When Jake left, half pushed by Alice, only Cedric and I were left in the parlor.
Cedric stood stiffly, with a more tense expression than before.
‘Why are you like that?’
Still, his expression seemed to be expecting something, but I had no idea what he was expecting.
“…… alright. What is your wish?”
Cedric’s voice trembled slightly.
At first glance, the tip of his ear, visible through his hair, was red.
I didn’t even know he looked that way because his hair was so red.
“My wish is.”
I smiled faintly and opened my mouth.
In fact, I’ve been thinking about it the whole time. What to ask of Cedric.
I didn’t want anything materialistic. Because Marquisate Saeron was wealthy.
After much deliberation, I remembered that I had only one wish for Cedric.
I continued speaking with Cedric’s hard face in front of me, looking very nervous.
“Lord Cedric…….”
But for some reason, I hesitated a bit when I tried to get it out of my mouth.
Maybe it’s a very childish and boring wish.
“Alright, fine.”
But even though I hadn’t said the main point yet, Cedric answered with his eyes tightly closed.
It was embarrassing.
What did he hear?
“I have not told you everything yet?”
“…… What? Just now…… That answer was a mistake. Just forget it. So, what do you really want to say?”
Cedric covered his mouth and averted his gaze, as if it was only too late that he realized he had been speaking nonsense.
‘Cedric, when I say something, you have to listen to the end. What kind of wish do you think I will make that you agreed to at once?’
I wondered what Cedric was thinking when he gave that answer.
But for a while, I coughed a little and finally said it.
“Hmm, hmm. I wish Lord Cedric will be a righteous knight. A knight who is on the side of good rather than evil.”
Oh, I finally said it!
To be honest, I hesitated even before speaking because it seemed like such an obvious and cliche wish.
It was a wish so that Cedric would not use the power of the Sword Master in a bad way so that he wouldn’t blacken like in the original story later.
Of course, I don’t think Cedric would do such a mean thing even if I didn’t say it.
Still, sticking with the promise is another thing.
“…… What?”
Cedric looked like he didn’t fully believe what I said.
As if doubting his ears, he asked me again.
“…… Is that all your wish? Is there anything else?”
“Yes, that is my wish. And what else. In the beginning, I had only one wish.”
I shrugged my shoulders with a lighthearted mood.
Then Cedric let out a low sigh, huh.
Somehow, he seemed to be disappointed.
“Maybe it’s a wish that is difficult to grant…… So, you can’t say yes to it?”
Cedric didn’t answer ‘alright’ or ‘I understand’ so I was a little nervous.
‘Don’t tell me Cedric was already blackening in secret!’
Cedric looked at my shaky gaze and let out a long sigh.
“…… You wish for something like that. Did you know that it’s like throwing away your chance to make a wish? You are the only one who can make a wish to the most outstanding Sword Master. I’ll give you five seconds to change it now.”
Cedric looked straight at me and said so.
I looked at him gently without avoiding his gaze, but I did not renew my wish.
“…….”
“5, 4, 3…… 2…… 1.”
The counting interval gradually grew longer.
Cedric paused for a moment, then lowered his head and continued his words.
“…… If you’re going to wish, make a bigger wish. Even if you want me to destroy the world, I can do it. Righteous and good, what the hell does that mean? A righteous knight…… Do you really think I can be like that? You don’t know my personality, I’m a bad guy…….”
Cedric’s words as he uttered gibberish, starting to get wet and blurry.
Tears fell from his bowed head and wet the floor.
‘Cedric, you’re still a crybaby.’
Somehow I thought I knew why Cedric was crying.
Cedric still didn’t like others to expect anything from him, and he didn’t trust himself much.
I carefully lifted Cedric’s hands that covered his face and grabbed them.
“Yes. I know. I know that. What a good person Lord Cedric is. And I have no doubt that you will continue to be a wonderful and brave knight.”
“…… !”
Cedric’s tear-soaked golden eyes stared at me.
With his lips trembling, his lips twitched as if he wanted to say something to me.
“…… Yes. I will grant your wish.”
After a while Cedric answered so.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
