"Really? Is that so? Ah, that's it." Knight Mipa closed his eyes lightly and let out a long sigh, which made me confused, thinking that I said something wrong.

"Why, is there something wrong?"

"No, His Highness said it very well. It is not an exaggeration to say that he woke up the dreamer with his words."

"Based on how I usually get along with you, can I take this sentence as irony?"

"Only today, not now, I mean it sincerely."

"Is it limited to today? Well, let's put this aside for now. Why is it that even I can detect something, but you are surprised to realize it? I don't believe it if it's not ironic."

"Perhaps it's because it's too far away and the fog is so thick that you can't see it. Maybe it's because it's too close and you don't know the mountains when you are in the mountains."

Knight MiPa seemed to be singing a rhyme, speaking incomprehensible words, but unexpectedly, I understood some of it.

Too far away, maybe it's talking about her relationship with the wife and knight. Compared to me, she has never even met the wife and knight, so the two are indeed too far away, and they are too close.

Recent, probably refers to everything she inherited from the Married Woman Knight.

"I never expected that one day I would be reminded by His Highness."

"I'll just take it as a compliment to you."

Knight Mipa smiled, kicked the stones on the roadside, and looked up at the bright moon with his little hands behind his back: "I remember telling His Highness before that I have been trying to get rid of Sir Sherrill's shadow. Even if I accept Lord Sherrill

I still want to struggle with the inheritance of the Twelve Knights. To others, the identity of the inheritor of the Twelve Knights is an honor, but in my opinion, it is a burden, because gradually everyone seems to have forgotten my name.

Now, we are named the Twelve Knights, and we carry the identity of the successors, but how many people still remember the name Milas?"

"You did tell me that." I nodded.

"Does His Highness think I did it? Get rid of Lady Sheryl's shadow?"

"This... would it be better for me to tell the truth or lie?"

"By saying this, His Highness, doesn't it mean that he has already told me the answer? That's right, he didn't get rid of it, but he became more like Sir Sheryl, right?"

"That's right, especially the side that likes to tease people." I nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, silently picturing the smile of a married woman knight in my mind.

"Oh my, your highness is so honored."

"I'm not complimenting you. Really, it's more like you like to act stupid."

"Really? Is it more like it?" With a hazy, incomprehensible smile, Knight Mipa came to me step by step.

"Not only have I not escaped Lady Sheryl's shadow, but I have become even more like her, right."

"That's true." I said bravely.

"Ah, as expected, this is not an illusion. In fact, I have discovered it a long time ago. Why? Obviously, as long as you change yourself a little, you can establish a completely different character from Sherrill. Over time, you can get rid of some of her

Shadow, it's obviously such a simple thing. If you're as smart as me, why can't you do it and instead gradually sink?"

Knight Mipa was already very close, and when she stopped, she brought her beautiful and flawless face close to her, her breathing could be heard clearly.

"I was very afraid for a while. Is it because I inherited Lady Sheryl's inheritance that even my soul was subtly affected by her personality? I was very afraid. If this continues, will I still be Milas? Or should I say

You will become the second Lady Sheryl."

"Human nature."

"Although I looked away later, I still didn't understand why, why I couldn't get rid of Lady Sheryl's shadow. Maybe the answer was already hidden deep in my heart, but it was just a little bit missing and I couldn't get it out.

I dug it out until I heard His Highness the Prince’s words, and I finally understood.”

"You..." I stared at the pretty face in front of me, and suddenly found that those clear and gorgeous eyes like narcissus were flashing with tears.

"I made His Highness laugh, and before I knew it..." Wiping the corners of his eyes, Knight Mipa smiled brightly, an open-minded smile that had thought everything through.

"Yes, I finally found the answer. It turns out that I admire you so much...I admire Lady Sheryl. Although I only know her from countless books and fragments, it is as if I am right in front of my eyes. Her character and smile emerge clearly. I

I have always been wrong. The innocence and stubbornness in my heart made me hope to have an independent personality named Milas, so that I would not be regarded as the shadow of Lady Sherrill. I have never faced my true thoughts in my heart. In fact, I am

If you want to be like the person you admire, Sheryl-sama, why do you have to care about other people's eyes and opinions?"

"With my poor IQ, I can vaguely understand." I scratched my head and awkwardly organized my words: "I think you are right. I never care about other people's opinions. I just want to live my own life.

Wouldn't it be nice to be more relaxed and comfortable, even a fool? Of course, the feelings of family and friends should also be taken into consideration, don't forget this, huh."

"Is this the reason why Your Highness has a harem?" Knight Mipa blinked and chuckled. This comment was so sharp that I almost ran into the grass.

"It took me a lot of effort to think of these words, and I want to comfort you. Can you please don't do this?"

"Sorry, I was wrong."

"What the hell, I actually felt a trace of sincerity from your apology!"

"Your Highness, what you said is so rude. Could it be that my previous apology didn't have any sincerity in it?"

"At least I can't remember any."

"When you say that, it seems like it's true."

Looking at each other, we laughed in unison. I always felt that the Mila Knight who opened his heart tonight was... well, very cute. Even though he still likes to tease me, he is no longer as avoidable as before.

Well, maybe it's just temporary, and in a day or two she will show her true colors again.

"Well, just follow what His Highness said and follow your own heart. Who made His Highness my master? I have to obey the master's orders even if I don't want to. This is the tragedy of a knight."

"They say you are not allowed to say such ambiguous words." I looked around nervously again, fearing that someone would hear me, and then I glared at Knight Mipa: "Don't do this, who gave you the order? When did you listen?"

You have said what I said, I will not be responsible if you regret it in the future."

"I'm still somewhat confident in myself, and I won't regret it for the rest of my life."

"As long as you're happy, and..." I couldn't help but shudder when I thought that Knight Mipa was going to develop into a wife knight: "Don't tease me anymore. You probably won't listen to me if I say this, so try to keep it as little as possible.

"

"Your Highness is really a good talker. Well, that's it."

"Why do I think you are just teasing me with your words? Forget it." I sighed and looked at the moonlight: "It's getting late. Take Juliet back to rest. Aren't we going to have to repair the arena tomorrow?"

?”

"That's true. Then please allow me to fulfill the duties of a knight occasionally and watch His Highness leave with love in my heart."

"It's not necessary to be affectionate. I feel cold on my back when I sleep at night. Sometimes this word is used well, but it's not essential enough. It should be more appropriate to use [first time]."

"Ah." Knight Mipa looked at me without blinking: "It feels like His Highness... seems to have changed even more. He suddenly became sharper and sharper. Is it the same when getting along with Sir Sheryl...?"

"Hoo ho ho, if you're not careful, she will easily find a loophole and tease her to death." I showed a sharp gaze like a veteran.

"So, I have to work harder."

"Don't work hard in this direction, just stop it!" I angrily hit the coffee table in my mind again: "Okay, if you go on talking about it, it will be endless. I don't want to stay here to help you improve your level, Sir Sheryl.

How about this."

After saying that, I gave it up and turned around and left.

"Your Highness." After walking a few steps, the voice of Knight Mipa came.

"As expected..."

"What, have you fallen in love with me? I'm sorry, my heart can no longer accommodate other women." I didn't look back, and kept walking as I responded, hum, today I have to do it again

The real man who never looks back at the explosion.

"As expected, I am still a little envious of you. No, perhaps jealousy is more appropriate."

Don’t even think about it, don’t try to trick me into stopping!!!

"Lord Sheryl...gave me a mission, and gave His Highness you...memories."
