I Have been Reincarnated As a Lazy, Arrogant Noble, but When I Destroyed The Scenario Through Effort, I Became The Most Powerful With Extraordinary Magical Power - 192

Chapter 192: Cynthia’s Tears

I was relieved that no one noticed us riding on the broom, so it was good that we arrived first.

In front of the mansion, a carriage was coming up the hill, flapping its way.

It hasn’t been that long in terms of time, but it feels like it’s been ages.

Suppressing the excitement, my cheeks loosen.

Soon, the carriage arrives.

The first to appear is Lilith.

She also works as a maid, but it seems she took a break and went to pick us up first.

And then, she appeared holding her hand—Cynthia.

Her long, beautiful golden hair shone like gold, more beautiful than ever.

Apart from the academy in Nobles, she must be quite busy, but she always makes time like this.

“Karta-san, it’s been a while.”

“Huh? Oh, yeah! Cynthia-san, are you doing well?”

“Yes, I’m unchanged.”

Cynthia spoke to Karta before me.

Her expression seemed truly relieved.

Next to her, Lilith had sharper eyes than usual.

Could it be that she saw us on the broom?

…Uh, I have to say something before that.

“I’m sorry, Cynthia, we were in a hurry—”

“Weiss, don’t you have something to say first?”

Cynthia cut off my words.

That hasn’t really happened before.

Thinking she must be really angry, I panicked.

“It’s not like that, Cynthia, that was—”

The next moment, Cynthia’s right hand flew towards me.

And—she slapped me hard on the cheek.

I was too surprised to make a sound.

My vision blurred.

I was surprised that the inviolable zone didn’t activate, but more than that, why—

“Eh, Cy-Cynthia-san!?”

Karta, who was next to me, shouted in a panic.

It was then that I finally came to my senses. I looked back at Cynthia, and tears were streaming down her cheeks.

“I thought you were busy, and I thought you were worried. I understand that much. But if you had made one mistake, it would have been serious. Why… didn’t you tell me? I… Weiss, if something happened to you… I couldn’t bear it.”

That’s when I finally realized my own stupidity.

That I hadn’t told Cynthia about being caught in the cell.

I noticed it in Lilith’s expression too.

She was right. Not saying anything was exactly that.

I don’t know how it reached Cynthia’s ears.

But more than that, there was something I had to tell her first.

“…I’m sorry.”

“Can’t you trust me? Am I not standing by your side?”
