What the Hero Wanted Was Me - Chapter 47



Chapter 47

Chapter 47.

It was a moment when each other felt awkward.

“…”

I was petting Arya, who was dyeing her face red.

Sometimes she looked at me with sorrowful eyes as to why she wanted to ask why I didn’t ask about her handcuffs.

There was no need to ask any questions because I could guess where it would be used anyway.

Isn’t handcuffs used for cooking?

I didn’t want to be killed by Aria, so I just kept her mouth shut.

“Lenny didn’t see anything.”

“…Yes”

I’d rather have that.

I can erase it from my memory even for a moment.

So Arya and I decided to erase the story of the handcuffs from our heads.

Formally.

After that day, I took special care of my hands and feet.

I had to be careful all the time because I didn’t know when the handcuffs would be handcuffed.

•••

A few more days passed after that, and it was around the time Arya’s food got used to it.

Arya steadily accumulated points and she had a score of 600 points.

Are you all right by now?

I wondered if Arya would be able to answer questions from the outside world by now, since she usually released Aria’s vigilance with simple questions.

So, time to eat dessert after Aria and her meal, I decided to challenge.

“Aria”

“Hmm?”

Putting an apple in her mouth, Arya answered with a mumble.

Is this an opportunity?

In the meantime, I acted as if the outside world had nothing to do with me.

To lower Arya’s vigilance, to make her answer my question in a stream.

The current Arya was lying on her bed, eating an apple and rolling around.

There seems to be no sense of caution.

If now is not an opportunity, what is it?

“What do you mean she’s not the princess you said last time?”

I did it.

After hearing my question, Arya stood still and stared at me.

What do you think?

It might have been in the past, but now she has changed so much that it was unpredictable.

That’s not a bad idea, is it?

I had to hope for a good result because even one leg was paralyzed.

“I wonder why..?”

Did it work?

Conversely, I answered the question that came to me.

“I’m not that curious.. A little..?”

I could have pressed Aria’s seizure button if I showed that I was too curious, so I showed a passive appearance as much as possible.

It was Aria who started to frown and worry about me this time.

Are you worried that much?

To alleviate her worries, I flattered her a little.

“I’m curious because it’s related to Aria.”

He changed the purpose of the question by taking the stance of wanting to know the contents related to his owner.

I want to get information about Arya rather than information about the outside world.

Arya opened her mouth suspiciously to see if my method worked.

“200 Points instead.”

This time it was Aria who said it was expensive and set the price at 200 points instead of the original price.

‘Isn’t this going to get 1000 points..?’

Actually, I had no intention of giving away the wish ticket.

If it’s an aria, I thought I’d use it up before the 1000 points gathered, so I put in the wish ticket, but I couldn’t recognize the aria that had changed in a year.

She didn’t lose points with trivial things like petting and hugging.

It was to show the image of running with only the goal of wishing.

Except for the occasional petting during meals or before going to bed, she has been hoarding points.

If you give 200 points here, Aria’s current points are 800.

It wasn’t information that I could give up, so I had no choice but to choose.

“…Let’s go to 200.”

It was a worthy score.

Compared to the score I usually gave to relieve her wariness.

Aria, hearing my answer, smiled and started approaching me.

“Why am I not a princess?”

She doesn’t know if it’s that much fun to not be the princess, but Aria smiled mischievously.

But on the contrary to Arya’s laughter, I thought that the story would not be interesting to me.

Intuitively, it smelled quite dangerous.

Aria’s mouth opened and her voice leaked out as she clung to me as if she had no intention of leaving me.

“Actually, I’m dead…!”

“…Yes?”

What are you talking about?

I didn’t understand that he died.

He is right in front of me and he is living comfortably like this?

She lived with me for a long time, not another person.

It was Aria.

As if she had read my shaking eyes, Aria began to hug me comfortably.

“Don’t worry too much, I’m here to live…”

It was true that the aria in front of me was alive.

I could feel the warmth and couldn’t believe she was dead because she could barely breathe.

“…So you mean I’m not a butler?”

Aria’s blue eyes drew an arc and smiled at my question.

“That’s expensive too…? Curious?”

If you give 200 more points here, it is 1000 points, so Arya will get her wish ticket.

But I still wanted to know.

I wonder if something happened while I was gone, so he said he died.

I had to know.

I told Arya that I wanted to know the information by nodding her head.

“Okay… I’ll tell you my wish tonight”

Aria smiled as if she was happy that she had obtained her wish.

I wondered what wish she would say, but the important thing was to hear her question answered.

“To say that Lenny is not a butler…”

As for why I am not a butler, the answer was revealed to me with Aria’s playful tone.

“Lenny died too…”

We are both dead and no longer exist.

‘Ah…’

After hearing that answer, I guessed a little bit.

In other words, they faked death like Romeo and Juliet.

Perhaps she pretended to be dead, like Juliet who drank poison that stopped her heart for a moment.

As an assistant…

There must have been Aine and Reisha.

If there were a princess and a saint with the right of succession, it would have been easy to forge documents and pretend to be dead.

I didn’t know why the saintess would help with this confinement, but this information was quite helpful.

That if the other kids knew I was dead, their condition would be a lot more different than I thought.

“You see now, Lenny? No one can get in our way. We’re together forever.”

If Arya is not cured, she will have to live here for the rest of her life.

•••

Eren’s life changed a lot after that incident.

After the day the princess and her teacher died.

The incident happened on a day when she was not at her mansion.

A few months after the teacher passed away, I started moving for peace in order to carry on the will of the teacher.

To receive all incoming requests and run to find them when an incident occurs in the capital.

As a result, my name became more widely known to people than after defeating the demon king.

Maybe that’s why the request came in from a place farther away than usual.

At first, I didn’t want to go.

Until I heard what the saintess said.

‘It’s okay because we’re here, it’s okay to go back to Eren!’

Laysha shouted, leaving her mansion to herself because she wants peace even in the distance.

After Laysha’s words that the princess is also a person who uses magic, I vacated the mansion for three days.

If it were me now, I would have killed myself back then and dried it up.

‘We’ve never done a request before?’

That’s what the head of the village that sent the request said.

After hearing his words, I realized that I had fallen into a trap.

‘The mansion is in danger’

Having made that decision, I hurriedly returned to the capital and ran towards the mansion.

‘Oops, why did you come back…’

Ignoring the lady-in-waiting who was talking to me, I hurriedly ran to Laysha’s room.

‘Laysha!’

There was a saintess who was bleeding and lying as if stabbed by a knife.

‘Eh.. Eren.. The princess who loves the house is in danger..’

Laysha, who was still conscious, said so.

I heard Laysha tell me to go to them first, and after stopping her bleeding, I hurriedly ran to Lenny’s room.

I hope it didn’t happen as expected.

‘..Ah.. No..!’

However, what I expected came true in front of me.

Two corpses lying on the floor, bleeding.

The princess and the teacher were judged to have died instantly on the spot.

The moment I truly realized that the teacher was dead was when I saw the grave of her butler, who was buried next to her own parents.

“What is that bastard’s peace?”

The man who fought for peace more than himself died like that.

The person who instigated the assassin was First Prince Henry.

‘I…I didn’t do it…!’

He cried out painfully that he hadn’t done it and cried until he died.

From noble mtl dot com

He was a very tough man.

It didn’t matter whether he did it or not.

Because it was a problem that Lenny died.

Today, Eren was shedding tears in front of Lenny’s grave.

Waiting for colleagues who will return soon.

•••

At that time, Lenny, who had granted Arya’s wish, was struggling.

Should I say he had no choice but to struggle.

“Aria-sama, this isn’t it..! Calm down..!”

Had to run away from Arya who was carrying something of her towards him.

“Lenny likes injections or handcuffs?”

I hate both of them…

I wanted to run away from the spot like a chimney, but I couldn’t.

Because my legs were paralyzed.

“Wishes must be granted unconditionally, right?”

What is Lenny?

I had to choose between an injection and handcuffs.
