Lilithiana remembered that time.
And again, he asked himself the question deeply rooted in his heart.
‘Who the hell… .’
The boy’s promise must have been in this form.
-I will protect Her Highness, up to your share.
If so, who exactly did that boy make such a promise to?
There were many questions, but it would be natural to solve the questions one by one.
The girl thought of people who might want to protect her first.
Her father and mother, the escort knights who couldn’t keep up with her, and even the men secretly in love with her who was announced to have a fiancée.
Among them, his own mother had to be excluded.
It was because the boy clearly referred to the man as ‘he’.
He also had to cut out the people he could meet.
Otherwise, there was no way the boy would have used the word ‘up to his share’.
Then all the options the girl thought of disappeared. leaving only one
He wanted to protect himself to the point of sacrificing his life.
man.
And that name you will never see again.
“pin….”
The target that the boy named Berry promised would be hit by a pin.
The girl predicted that, and that prediction could be said to be correct in a way.
So, the girl reviewed it again and was convinced that there was nothing wrong with her reasoning.
Confidence threw the girl the next topic.
Why did Berry respond to that request?
The answer to this was only the girl’s imagination, but the girl couldn’t find a hypothesis as convincing as her imagination.
First of all, it was noted that Berry was a commoner like Finn.
Even though he is such a commoner, he becomes the head of the academy, and the atmosphere suddenly changes.
And so did Finn.
Finn’s report deduced the location of the elixir, unknown to even the great men of the empire, with information he did not know where he had found it.
Finn knew the conclusion, so he submitted the report in a piecemeal fashion, but
From the point of view of an unknown person, this was only possible because Finn was talented enough to be called a genius in the realm of reasoning.
It was natural to rate it that way.
So what do the two have in common?
Even though he is a commoner, he has incredible talent.
In response, the girl’s hypothesis was as follows.

Just as Finn delivered the elixir to himself, he must have given Berry a secret ingredient or medicine that would make him stronger.
Since all swordsmen always sought strength, Berry, who was a commoner, would have been more grateful for Finn’s kindness.
Didn’t Finn ask such a Berry before leaving the empire?
If you become a great swordsman in the future, please make sure to support the princess even for your own share. Called.
-So, I’m glad I could protect you this time. Princess.
Princess.
It was only then that the girl realized why only a boy named Berry called herself like Finn.
What would the servant who cherished and loved him say when he met someone else?
It was a shameless and embarrassing thought for a girl who abandoned that grace, but she could easily guess that it was about herself.
Again, since there was nothing wrong, the girl nodded while hiding her bitterness.
Tell Finn what he likes and what he dislikes.
There was no doubt that he had even heard that he preferred being called the princess rather than her highness.
But I couldn’t reveal him.
Because Finn chose to take on all his sins and disappear.
And as Berry, who had been told the story by Finn, had to become close to me without ever mentioning it.
Doing so would be the easiest way to protect me as Finn asked,
Berry must have had a desire to keep his promise.
Because I was a girl who heard that the tribe of prosecutors would live and die for romance or something,
It was not at all incomprehensible that Berry would risk his life to keep that promise.
and the last question.
‘why… Did he say that he was fortunate to be able to protect him this time?’
Have you ever been threatened with your life?
The girl silently shook her head.
Shouldn’t there be another reason to lament the fact that Berry couldn’t protect himself?
Again, the girl shook her head.
After thinking about it for a long time, the girl soon decided that she could not give an answer to this question.
Even so, I came to the conclusion that it wouldn’t matter.
No matter how the answer to this question comes out anyway, there will be no change in the attitude and policy he will have to deal with Berry in the future.
Berry is the remnant of Finn’s grace.
Like a hairpin that became her engagement ring.
And like the magical power bestowed by the Elixir, the driving force that enabled him to enter this academy as the top student.
In fact, Berry gave his life to fulfill that promise, thereby proving that Berry is trustworthy enough.
That’s why the girl admitted that she couldn’t treat Berry with the cold attitude she had with other males.
The fact that it’s a remnant of a pin bothered me.
The fact that Berry actually risked his life nailed that.

Just the problem.
That the target is blatantly favorable to oneself.
It was quite different from other men in terms of atmosphere and poor quality, but goodwill was goodwill nonetheless.
Since the favor was not based on loyalty, the girl’s position was that it was difficult for her to accept such a favor from a man other than Finn.
Whether it was love at first sight after seeing his appearance, or having the same favor as Finn after hearing the exaggerated story of Finn who had a great affection for him.
The reason didn’t matter.
The conclusion that he had goodwill was the important thing.
Therefore, the girl realized that she was placed in a dilemma where she could either reject or accept Berry.
And there is only one way to solve this.
The only way to get rid of Berry’s favor as a member of the opposite sex.
If so, Berry will change her mind and only have a sense of mission to fulfill her promise.
If that was the case, it wasn’t that the girl wouldn’t be able to appoint Berry as her knight.
A knight with the title of Chief of the Academy. Who would dare to dispute that quality?
The girl thought and pondered.
Since the quality of pure kindness could not be discussed, the girl had no choice but to seriously think about it.
The conclusion thus drawn was this.
The girl herself will refer to Finn even more explicitly than now, and will remember him.
in front of Berry. While hiding the fact that the target was Pin.
One reason was that Berry didn’t know if Finn was dead.
Part of the reason was that she didn’t know how Berry would react to the fact that she was remembering someone who was now dead.
And attach a pair that suits Berry.
Berry was a commoner, but now that he entered the academy here, he had become a person that would be difficult to introduce as just a commoner, so it shouldn’t be that difficult.
Even more so, Berry was the head of this academy. It’s also the Knights Faculty.
Berry was very suitable for ordinary aristocratic girls to achieve the love they dreamed of at least once.
The standard of love as an aristocratic young lady who continues her heartfelt love while being held in the arms of an excellent knight.
There were even rumors that he had defeated such a huge monster, so pretty much any noble lady would happily choose to connect with him if Berry wanted it.
Because he looks good too.
So when Berry chose Grace as his next party member,
The girl opened her eyes wide and smiled as she found the right prey.
‘You can put him on! Since she’s a sincere girl, she won’t be promiscuous, and if she’s the head of the Divinity Faculty, she’ll suit her well enough.’
The girl looked at Grace and licked her lips,
Grace just shook her shoulders, not knowing why the head of the Faculty of Magic was smiling at her with a sinister smile.

The girl, who had already finished all her worries, acted quickly and frankly.
It was because while the four of them were having a meeting while having a meal in the student cafeteria, the girl suddenly asked Berry while touching Grace’s hair sitting next to her.
“Kyaa, kyaat…! Wow, Her Highness the Princess?!”
“…look at this hair, it really has no silk? don’t you think so, Berry?”
“…yes?”
Why the hell is she doing this?
Berry… the pin. In a few days, like flipping the palm of your hand… No, from the conference room until now.
In just a few minutes, he came to worry about the safety of his princess, who had changed her attitude towards her once again.
The girl’s actions were generally reasonable.
Boys of that age fall in love quickly, and soon give up on love.
However, the reality was completely different, so the girl’s behavior afterwards became a huge handshake.
For Finn, who had only seen girls for a long time, it was a very precious thing.
However, the boy’s anger had nowhere to go.
It was because she still didn’t know who Jung In was in the girl’s heart.
And Grace, who unintentionally continued to be near the boy who was hiding such anger that had lost its place.
Unexpectedly, he was caught between the two and became a troubled existence.
