Shadow Court Magician Chapter 82: Chloe and Leon

 The Elves and the Dolls march steadily.

 

 The Elves, who are familiar with the forest, lead the way.

 

 The Dolls use machetes to chop off twigs and branches as they pass over rugged terrain.

 

 

 Seeing that, The tree-loving elves seemed annoyed by this but did not complain.

 

 They probably knew that it was the privilege of the elves to be able to control plants and avoid twigs and that if they couldn’t do that, they would have to use machetes to cut through the bushes.

 

 So, fighting would be a bad idea.

 

 

“This is all thanks to Leon-sama.” (Sicily)

 

 

 Sicily smiles, but the bigger problem was Chloe, who was marching with no expression on her face.

 

 She’s been bristling since a few minutes ago, brushing off the offer of marriage.

 

 

 She was marching while ignoring her self-proclaimed fiancé, Lululucca, who had been brusquely brushing off her advances.

 

 At first, I thought she was annoyed by the courtship, but I guess not. As Sicily says, there must be something else going on.

 

 I thought so, and after Lululucca left, I casually walked next to Chloe.

 

 

“…………”

 

“…………” (Chloe)

 

 

 Both of us were silent at first, but when the silence became uncomfortable, I complimented a part of Chloe’s maid outfit.

 

 

“…You look good with that thing on your hair.”

 

“It’s called a mobcap… Thank you…” (Chloe)

 

“…………”

 

“…………” (Chloe)

 

 

 That didn’t keep the conversation going. But I guess Chloe isn’t completely mature.

 

 

“…Pffft.” (Chloe)

 

 

 After unsuccessfully withholding a laugh, she seemed to understand my intention.

 

 

“Leon-sama, a strategist who never hesitates even in front of a thousand soldiers, is anxious about me, a small girl.” (Chloe)

 

“…I’m not anxious, but I heard you’re a little melancholy.”

 

“Her Highness huh. She really does have a sharp intuition.” (Chloe)

 

“What happened? Are you feeling sick?”

 

“Women lose their spirit once a month.” (Chloe)

 

“…I remember you being angry when I said it before.”

 

“The woman can say it with no hesitation. But it’s a bluff.” (Chloe)

 

“Is it really a bluff?”

 

“Yes.” (Chloe)

 

“Then, is Lululucca, who has been proposing for a while, annoying you?”

 

 

 A glance behind reveals Lululucca, who is still burning with fighting spirit. When our conversation is over, it seems that she will propose again. She’s been picking wild flowers that bloom along the way.

 

 

 —The fact that she is also picking poisonous grass is proof that she was raised as a warrior. She thinks that all flowers are the same.

 

 

 Well, I’m the same way. I can tell the difference between a poisonous plant and a normal flower.

 

 Chloe, noticing my gaze, chuckles.

 

 

“Lululucca-sama is a really interesting person. If you get married, you won’t be bored.” (Chloe)

 

“If so, why don’t you do it?”

 

“Then please, you should do it too Leon-sama.” (Chloe)

 

“That’s not a good idea.”

 

“Why?” (Chloe)

 

“I have a lot of things to do”

 

“So, do I. I’m not ready to get married unless I can find a way to make my princess happy.” (Chloe)

 

“I see. But, marriage or not, we can still get rid of the gloom in our hearts, can’t we?”

 

“……What do you mean?” (Chloe)

 

“No, I think you are feeling down because you have something to worry about. The princess said you’ve been melancholic since you came to this forest.”

 

“…I can’t hide it from Her Highness at all.” (Chloe)

 

“She’s a woman and also someone you’ve formed a deep bond with.”

 

“Then I just have to speak honestly.” (Chloe)

 

 

 When she says that, she glanced at Luluucca behind us.

 

 

“Does she have anything to do with this?”

 

“That’s not the case.” (Chloe)

 

“But you don’t want her to hear about it?”

 

“Yes.” (Chloe)

 

“Then let’s go away for a while.”

 

 

 I said, stepping backward and listening to her quietly.

 

 When we are alone, Chloe opens her mouth as if she were making a confession.

 

 

“… Actually, I have an older brother.” (Chloe)

 

“Oh, is that so.”

 

“…Surprising, isn’t it?” (Chloe)

 

“It’s a little surprising, but if I think about it, Chloe wasn’t born from a tree’s branches. You probably have parents and siblings.”

 

“Yes, that’s right. Leon-sama also has siblings, right?” (Chloe)

 

“I have a sister.”

 

“Is she still alive?” (Chloe)

 

“…………”

 

 

 She must have seen that I was hesitant to say anything. She didn’t say anything else. I didn’t think it was the right time to talk about my family, so I continued.

 

 

“That brother is she the cause of your sorrow.” (Chloe)

 

 

 

 She nodded when I said that.
