11. catch the monster

 Hiding my face from Elizabeth behind the door, I was writhing with intense shame.
 No... it's no good. That's no good. No matter how much Elizabeth forgives me, it's useless. Shameless. Questionable. I'm glad I didn't get dumped.
 
 know. That's the delusional me. I'm cool enough to persuade Elizabeth...angelElizabethI am captivated by whispering sweet words to her in my arms. Ever since she was young, she's been exposed to Elizabeth's majestic aura, and I've struggled to catch up to her with wings on her back. It was a way of persuading her because her memory was sealed.
 It should be overflowing with a strange sense of versatility. Elizabeth is the gold chain that holds me together somehow.
 
 Put your hand on the door and take a deep breath.
 He turned to Elizabeth and held out his hand. When I put on the usual refreshing smile of the crown prince saying that it had nothing to do with what happened earlier, I said with my usual calm voice.
 
"Then, let's investigate the royal palace."
 
 Somewhere red-faced Elizabeth takes her hand.
 
 Harold was sighing silently behind him. He knows what he wants to say in his heart.
 Harold is my supervisor and has the role of correcting me if I do something wrong. The piercing, icy gaze is always exposed to the eyes of a third party so that I can be aware of it.
 There was one reason why Harold didn't stop me until he said that he was disqualified as the crown prince.
 
 Do something about this impatient relationship--that is.
 ……I know. I know.
 
"Elizabeth"
"Yes, Your Highness Vincent."
 
 If I call her, Elizabeth looks up at me to meet my gaze. She has a natural smile. She is lured and my mouth loosens on its own.
 Ha~~~~ cute. Ultimately cute. Even though her memories were sealed, she fell in love at first sight.
 If so, maybe it's okay to show yourself as you are.
 Not immediately, but little by little.
 To the extent that Elizabeth doesn't get attracted to him.
 
 After swearing that secretly, I changed my mind to catching plums. If I had to, I'd be able to recover some of my knowledge before the wedding, but it would be much better if I could break the seal on her memory.
 No clue, though.
 
"First, let's go to the outhouse where Plum appeared first."
"It looks like your memory is still confused."
 
 As soon as I said that there might be a trace of something, Harold interrupted me with a bit of appetite.
 Certainly, aside from the sealed part, my memory before and after meeting Plum is vague. In fact, the appearance of the plum itself is also vague. Maybe he's trying to keep the enchanted humans from noticing it.
 
"The mansion itself is fine, but the room where Ketsey appeareddanger・dangerous・is. You may still have some magic left. I will investigate."
 
 Harold said before hearing my answer. I want to ask him why, but he looks at me with a very serious look and the pressure is strong. This is that, it's a face that seems better to follow without saying anything unnecessary.
 
"Okay. Then go with Lars."
 
 Wrath is a holy dragon, able to consume mana and ward off miasma in an emergency.
 As I said that, Harold deepened the wrinkles between his eyebrows. …After a moment of silence, he nodded, “Understood.” what?
 
 
 For the time being, we decided to explore the royal palace first from the detached room, so we moved.
 Harold and I were sorting out our belongings in order to meet Elizabeth just before we met Plum Ketsey.
 I looked around the separate room, but there was no suspicious flow of magical power. After all, it seems that Plum has already fled elsewhere.
 Just in case, Harold took Lars and entered the room in question at the end.
 In less than a few minutes, one by one came out. ……When I thought about it, Lars was standing at Elizabeth's feet and making a sad cry.
 
"Well, did something happen?"
"No, these are... a man's tears of frustration."
“Tears of frustration…?”
 
 Elizabeth and I looked at each other without understanding the meaning of Harold's muttered words.
 
"But you didn't leave, either. There's no trace."
 
 Harold didn't seem to want to explain, so he changed the subject.
 Elizabeth is holding Lars and comforting her. As soon as Lars shook her tail and let out a high-pitched cry. dog?
 
 Once outside the annex, we were at a loss.
 
"Even if you say you're in the royal palace, it's still spacious."
"It would be nice if there was some guideline instead of walking around blindly..."
"Can't Rath follow the traces of magic?"
“Maybe we can do it with the power of the Holy Dragon.
 
 Lars just said the idea that came to his mind, but when Elizabeth gave him a look full of expectation, Lars jumped into the air. He taps him on the chest, telling him to leave it to him, arching his back and wriggling his nose. Yeah, I want to show you a good place.
 With his eyes closed, Rath's body began to sparkle. Elizabeth takes her breath away. Crystal-like horns flickered--This disjointed reaction is just making your body glow, right?
 
 Lars rolled his eyes. He soars into the air and circles around him.
 Did you just see me after all?
 However, the moment I thought so.
 
"Kyuah"
 
 The white tail pricks up.
 
"Squeaky!"
 
 Lars pointed to the center of the garden while letting out an excited cry. He kicks into the air and gains momentum, and he flies away in a gliding posture.
 If you turn your gaze while chasing after Lars.
 
 In the shadow of the strange topiary that my mother designed, a purple cat-like thing was lying down.
 
"Is that it?"
"That's right."
"You're amazing, Mr. Lars!"
 
 I vaguely remember it. When I asked Harold for his consent, he nodded. Elizabeth puts her hands together and applauds.
 
 Even if you approach it, it doesn't seem to run away. Lie down on the lawn with your limbs stretched out. Lars is running round and round around it.
 
"Can't you move?"
"Oh, brother... I found you, nya."
 
 This time, instead of telepathy, Plum spoke by mumbling her mouth. The cat's mouth, which moves rather unbelievably in order to speak human language, seems to have a distorted laugh, which is a bit of a horror.
 Plum muttered softly as she looked up at me, who was pulling back in her heart.
 
“Onii-san’s memory nya, you sealed it.
 
 Plum, who has exhausted her energy, takes a long breath and falls down on the grass again. Even if Lars pokes him with his beak, he doesn't respond. It seems that he is really weak.
 
 What is the memory that causes the magic beast to lack magical power?
 I am afraid of myself.
