“Well, I haven’t asked for that person’s opinion yet. I’ll talk to them first and let you know.”
“Alright.”
As Robert gazed at Radis with endlessly warm eyes while she diligently inscribed the spell, he recalled the moment he first met her in their previous life.
Radis seemed to have completely forgotten, but she was also one of the “beasts” Robert had mentioned.
‘David Tilrod.’
With a voice cracked from tension, she had introduced herself like a hedgehog bristling with its quills.
She was like a frog that couldn’t remember its tadpole days, but in fact, she was the one who had the hardest time adapting to the subjugation squad.
She never allowed anyone to approach her.
It was to force herself to look back, even if she had to do so against her will.
Fortunately, as they say, the en shapes the person. As she took up a leadership position in the squad and started caring for the members, she changed a lot.
Maybe it’s because she started feeling that Robert was relying on her, so she started approaching him cautiously and became more open. Her attitude toward the squad members softened considerably.
It was around that time that Robert began to harbor doubts about her.
Once the venom faded, other things began to reveal themselves.
Although she spoke in a low voice, sometimes she would let out the most adorable sneeze, so startling that it sent shivers down his spine.
Whenever she took off her armor to bathe, she would threaten anyone who came close, saying she would kill them.
When the squad, soaked in rain, lined up their swollen, foul-smelling feet to sleep, if there was a slender, pretty pair of feet among them, it belonged to her.
Unable to contain his growing curiosity, Robert did something despicable.
He had someone investigate her background.
The mystery was soon solved.
A servant of the Tilrod family, for a few coins, confessed that the eldest daughter of the Tilrod family was serving in the subjugation squad in place of the eldest son.
It was shocking.
But he had to keep this revelation a secret.
The place may have been lax, but it was still the Imperial Subjugation Squad.
If it were revealed that she was serving as a substitute, it would do her no good.
He had to pretend not to know.
And after much time passed, he came to regret it bitterly.
But in the end, she overcame everything on her own and became who she was today.
Robert, who had been looking at her as if blinded by the sight, called out to her.
“Dee.”
At his call, Radis widened her eyes and looked at him.
As Robert gazed at her clear face, he recalled the face of the ‘Dee’ he knew.
‘Dee’, who always seemed a little hurt, as if she was suppressing something.
Robert asked her,
“Are you happy now?”
At his question, Radis smiled brightly, her eyes curving into crescent moons.
“No? I’m so tired I could die!”
“That sounds like you’re happy.”
“I’m really exhausted! I want to stop now!”
Radis threw the seed she was holding back into the sack.
“Let’s take it back and try again later.”
“Alright.”
As she tried to stand, Radis swayed unsteadily.
She braced her knees and grimaced.
“Wow, I’m dizzy…!”
Watching her, Robert turned his back to her and bent down.
“Get on.”
“What?”
Radis widened her eyes, which had been scrunched up, as she looked at his broad back.
“Um, get on your back?”
“Yes.”
“Captain, what is this? Just because I say I’m a little dizzy, you’re offering me your back? The Marquis is like this too. How can men be so soft…”
“The sun will set if we keep this up.”
“…”
“I’ll let you down as soon as you feel better, so just get on.”
At his firm voice, Radis hesitated, contemplating with a conflicted expression, but eventually climbed onto his back.
With her on his back, Robert started walking.
He saw their shadows stretching long beneath their feet.
Gazing at that indistinct form, Robert spoke to ‘Dee’.
‘I’ve always wanted to let you lean on me like this, completely.’
Why hadn’t he done it before?
‘There were many reasons, but above all, I couldn’t stand tall in front of you.’
Robert recalled the back of ‘Dee’, which always seemed larger than life.
