***************
the point of view is still focused on the small house located in the forest plain that has a large lake at that time
that night was not too dark even though the forest did not have a glimmer of light because the moon was the light that illuminated the pitch black sky that time, plus the fact that the island was located in a location very far from the Empire of mankind and the invasion of the army of the demon king.. causing the island that being in the middle of the sea is easily illuminated by the moon
even though the island is illuminated by the moonlight, the island will always be surrounded by thick fog and a terrible storm of waves causing warships to be unable to detect the island's existence
'splash..splash..swoosh
the point of view switches to the figure of Reinhardt who is wringing a wet towel for Kiara who had a high fever that night
'urgh...
'.....'
Kiara grumbled a little because she felt very dizzy even though she was still asleep in her bed
while Reinhardt as usual just looked at her with a flat expression but actually felt very worried and concerned about Kiara's deteriorating health
'...'
'ugh..fat-ther..mother...
'...'
the name that was spoken from Kiara's mouth at that time suddenly made Reinhardt stop for a moment when he was about to put a wet towel on Kiara's forehead at that time
for how many more years should this little princess suffer more? Those words were clearly pictured in Reinhardt's mind at that moment even though he didn't say it directly
puff...
'uh...???
when Reinhardt put a wet towel on Kiara's forehead, not long after Kiara finally woke up from her sleep by opening her eyes slowly and started looking at Reinhardt
'.....'
'Rein...hardt....???
Kiara's eyes turned red due to the fever she was experiencing followed by her weak voice calling out Reinhardt's name longingly
'I'm here, princess.. and do you want to eat something good?
'uhm!..I'm very hungry now...
'If that's the case, I've cooked the chicken porridge soup that you like so much..do you want to eat it?
'uhm..
creak
Reinhardt then moved his chair closer to the princess's bed to feed his little princess who was unable to stand up because she was too weak at that time
'open your mouth and say ahhhhh
'Ahhhh...nyam...
Reinhardt repeatedly fed the princess gently then without initiating any conversation
'that it..now you have to spend more time resting right now because your body is still in an unhealthy condition princess
swish!
'wa-wait!
Reinhardt who tried to leave because of something was stopped by Kiara who suddenly pulled his shirt tightly from behind
it seems that the little princess wanted to talk to Reinhardt about something from earlier,but because at that time they had just met after being separated for a long time..Kiara become very nervous to start a conversation
''what's wrong princess? do you feel very sick again?
'A-ah...tha-that..
Reinhardt reflexively looked down and looked at Kiara's face because he felt very worried but Kiara was even very embarrassed because of it
'princess?? do you want something from me?
'uhm..ca-can yo-you pl-please..
'don't be nervous princess..just tell me what do you desire and I will try my best to fulfill it
'uhm..it's not like that..it-its just..can you stay with me just for tonight? I miss you so much that I can't bear to be separated from you anymore...please..just this once
'...'
'please..
because Reinhardt felt very guilty..in the end Reinhardt agreed to Kiara's selfish request
'sigh..
creak..
puff
Reinhardt canceled his intention to leave but he chose to stay close to Kiara by sitting next to Kiara who was still lying on the bed
'Th-thank you..
'your order is my obligation..then don't thank me princess
'Kiara..not the princess
'alright Kiara..
'thank you again..
Kiara smiled happily while holding Reinhardt's hand tightly at that time while Reinhardt just looked at his little princess with great concern
'...'
'...'
their situation started to become very awkward because Kiara ran out of ideas to start a conversation with Reinhardt at that time so Reinhardt was the one who chose to start the conversation
'Princess..how are you doing?
'well..I can't say I'm fine all this time especially when it comes to my feelings
'...'
'hah...I don't mean to make you feel guilty..but I just want to be honest with myself you know
'.....'
Kiara took a deep breath when she found Reinhardt who just remained silent because of deep guilt
'when you are far from my sight.. I can honestly say that what I feel every day is just a deep loneliness.. but I know that my feelings are not important at all compared to the heavy duty that you are carrying right now..
'its..not like that.. princess..
'Ah..don't worry..I don't blame you either.. maybe I'm the only one who burdened you all this time.. because of my unimportant feelings, you feel guilty every day until you're willing to walk all the way here just to visit me
'princess...
'so..don't blame yourself anymore..or feel guilty about me
'.....'
'because I know you are a good person that you are willing to stay with me until the end and I am the cause of your burden...
Kiara continued to make fun of herself in front of Reinhardt who just bowed silently without saying anything that night
