A Captive Prince Awaiting Execution Falls In Love With A Young Lady - Episode 32

That evening.

In the grand hall on the third floor of the lord’s mansion, where the setting sun poured in, Sirius was facing Judith.

“Could it be?”

Hehehehe, and.

Sirius let out a laugh for the umpteenth time in the room where the ceiling had been blown off.

“That was Ijet-kun, huh?”

And then turn your gaze towards the other person.

There stood Judith, who wore her armor even more splendidly than Sirius, with the scarecrow Ijet-kun, with their shoulders linked together.

“As expected of Ijet-kun. It was a performance that made you feel the soul, wasn’t it?”

Because Judith puffed out her chest with satisfaction, Sirius found it amusing again and laughed.

The crucifixion exposed from that collapsed balcony.

That was Ijet-kun.

“See? It was necessary, right? Ijet-kun in the new house.”

“Really. As expected, Judith.”

After laughing for a while, Sirius asks Judith.

“But you really came up with a good idea. Pretending to crucify Ijet-kun as if he were your brother-in-law. Or rather, Ijet-kun, you already look like a man who has been crucified.”

“I’ve been watching the enemy forces longer than Sirius. Everyone else seemed fed up with it. But it looks like only Lord Patrick is still trying hard.”

Judith moved while carrying Ijet-kun and returned, leaning against a wall that had been destroyed and lost its upper half.

“When the final attack came, it got so chaotic with smoke and dust that we decided to say he died in the confusion. Lord Patrick. Then, we asked the Marielle Battalion to spread the word, saying things like, ‘Patrick has been slain!’ and ‘Lady Judith has taken Patrick’s head!’ And then…”

It seems they independently collapsed and fled.

“I wonder what happened to Lord Patrick.”

Judith says in a completely detached manner.

“I heard that a merchant ship left from the northern port.”

“Hmm? What’s that?”

Judith asked, but Sirius shook his head ambiguously.

I received word from Mrs. Garcia that my brother-in-law boarded a merchant ship and fled overseas.

I don’t know what will happen next.

I want you to go on a missionary journey in search of new lands. And I hope you never get involved with this country again. That’s Sirius’s true feelings.

“With this, the matter is settled, right?”

When Sirius said that, Judith pouted dramatically.

“I’m totally not calm at all! Look at this! The furniture and wallpaper I worked so hard to choose! It’s all ruined!”

“Indeed, the third floor has been blown away.”

“This was my new home!”

“That’s right.”

“By the way, the room next door was the bedroom!”

“Huh? Is that so?”

“Unfortunately, it hasn’t blown away!”

“Ah… ahhhhh, yes…”

Somehow, I was slumping my shoulders, and then Judith hugged me.

Because they are both wearing armor, a clinking, hard sound is heard.

“Since there’s no other choice, let’s just have a casual wedding tomorrow.”

“Hmm? Random? …Yeah, well, whatever.”

“Shall we spend our wedding night in a safe room somewhere?”

Sirius hesitated, wondering if he had misheard, but it was only for a few seconds.

“Yeah”

When I nodded enthusiastically, Judith burst out laughing.

Speaking of which

Raising her face, Judith looked up at the sky.

“When we first met, it was such a beautiful sunset day too, wasn’t it?”

Sirius also looked up at the sky. From the spot where the ceiling had been blown away, a magnificent sunset spread across the entire view.

“Yeah, it was nice that this town also had beautiful sunsets.”

And then, I tightened my arms around Judith.

“From now on, forever. Will you keep watching the sunset with me like this? Judith.”

“Of course, Sirius. If there are any annoying iron bars, I’ll remove them for you.”

Sirius laughs.

That’s right.

Jump into that tower and remove the iron bars.

She finally took Sirius out into the outside world.

With her.

You will be happy.

I thought that was what it meant to live.

“Looking forward to working with you, Judith.”

“Likewise, Sirius.”

The two of them embraced each other like that.
