After that…

 

A butler rushed out as Forma and I returned to the castle.

 

Butler: "Lord Forma! All on your own…! Please return to your room quickly."

 

Forma: "Yeah…"

 

I had thought Forma’s condition was improving, but as soon as we’d arrived at the castle he’d gotten worse again.

 

Forma…

 

Forma: "I’m alright. More importantly, I sense something off. Be…careful…"

 

Saying that to me, Forma collapsed.

 

OO: "Forma!"

 

Butler: "Lord Forma!"

 

…

 

……

 

Servants carried Forma to his bed after he collapsed.

 

His breathing is rough…I wonder if he has a fever.

 

Without thinking, I took Forma’s hand.

 

It’s hot…

 

Butler: "It’s always been like this ever since he was little. Lord Forma’s body becomes afflicted whenever he senses poisons."

 

OO: "…"

 

Butler: "Without even meaning to he has felt the negative emotions of others…Within the royal family, Lord Forma is the only one with this ability…it’s heartbreaking."

 

Has he always been suffering like this?

 

Butler: "Lady OO, please return to your room and rest as well. With Lord Forma in such a state…and with what happened earlier...Please exercise caution."

 

The butler gave me a kind smile as he spoke.

 

OO: "Thank you. Please look after Forma."

 

I returned to my room, though I was painfully reluctant to do so.

 

However, the next day Forma remained in bed. The day passed without my being able to see him.

 

I wonder if Forma is alright.

 

Lying down on the bed, I couldn’t get my worry for him out of my mind.

 

Then…

 

??: "Lady OO! Something terrible has happened!"

 

Eh…?

 

??: "Please hurry! It’s Lord Forma!"

 

…!

 

I leapt off my bed and opened the door to my room…

 

??: "…!"

 

A man I’d never seen before grabbed me roughly and held a cloth to my mouth.

 

Forma: "I sense something off. Be…careful…"

 

The smell of chemicals reached my nose, and I felt my consciousness begin to slip away…

 

…

 

……

 

I…?

 

OO: "Nn…"

 

My eyelids were heavy as I opened them, and I found myself in a dim room.

 

Where…?

 

I felt the cold floorboards beneath me.

 

??: "That was easy. Now we get our reward."

 

That voice…isn’t it the one I just heard from outside my door?

 

I can’t move…

 

My hands and feet were bound with a rope, and a cloth gagged me.

 

Man 1: "You awake? Sorry to tell ya, but no one’s comin’ to save you."

 

Man 2: "We’re pretty far from the castle. And from here we’ll sell you off to another country."

 

…!

 

Man 1: "But…"

 

The pair ogled me.

 

Man 1: "It’d be a waste to just hand her over like this."

 

Man 2: "You sure? I heard she’s a princess from somewhere."

 

Man 1: "Who cares. They never said anything about not laying a hand on her."

 

Man 2: "Good point."

 

…!

 

The men came closer.

 

No…stay away.

 

Bound and unable to struggle, my body began to tremble with fear.

 

Man 1: "Let’s have some fun."

 

The man untied the ribbon at the top of my shirt.

 

OO: "Mm…!!"

 

No! Stop…!

 

He roughly undid the buttons on my blouse and moved to put his hand on my chest, and then…

 

Forma: "OO!!"

 

The door was violently kicked down and Forma came flying through.

 

Forma!

 

Man 1: "Prince Forma! Why are you…!"

 

Forma: "Sensing poisons is my thing. I could feel it even when I was sleeping in my room. I assume you were hired by the royal family of Telsot. Now, let her go."

 

Man 1: "This has nothing to do with you!"

 

Forma: "I’ve been able to sense your malicious intent since yesterday. I had been sure it was directed at me but...To think you’d set your eyes on OO. You thought you’d get to me by taking the Princess of Träumere. How simplistic."

 

With a hand on his glasses, Forma glared at the men.

 

Man 1: "…Dammit!"

 

The men rushed at Forma, but they were brought down in an instant.

 

He’s strong…

 

Forma: "Are you alright!?"

 

Forma rushed over, taking the cloth from my mouth and undoing the rope around my arms and legs.

 

[CHOICE]

• I’m alright (SUN)

• Are you alright now? (MOON)

 

 

 

 

 

 

OO: "…!" 

 

He crouched down and covered my exposed chest.

 

Forma: "It’s alright now. I let you go through something terrifying."

 

As I continued to shake, Forma held me in his strong arms.

 

OO: "…"

 

Without thinking I buried my face in his chest, and he gently stroked my head.

 

OO: "Forma, how are you feeling?"

 

I heard my voice crack with tears as I asked.

 

Forma: "I’m alright. Be more concerned about yourself for now. I’ll do this until you’ve calmed down."

 

He held me tighter as he spoke.

 

In that warmth, the terror I’d been feeling only moments before began to ease.
