"Was this your intention from the start? Making me stay behind while my comrades returned to the Eastern Kingdom?"
Emilia had been I were walking together one fateful day, so I asked.
It had been almost two weeks since my allies left for the Eastern Kingdom, and we got news that they would be arriving here today.
That was the reason I even remembered how we separated, in the first place.
"Maybe…" Emilia smiled, and then licked her lips in a dangerously seductive way.
My crotch tingled, and the memory of the kiss we shared the previous night appeared in my head.
'Nngh!' I fought to regain control.
Emilia was a great manipulator of emotions, far more skilled than me.
I wasn't even in her league.
We kept discussing as we awaited the arrival of our comrades, holding hands every step of the way.
Fun, casual moments like these soon became a rarity as time went on.
After all, thanks to being sheltered by the Elf Kingdom, I was able to escape all the horrid hardships of the war.
