"Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Put me down! Let me down!!!!!!!"

Stella reaches the sky above the castle in her arms and screams with tears in her eyes.

No wonder. A person who cannot use flying magic cannot reach such a high altitude.

And since she is being held by Sam, she has no freedom.

He must have felt compelled to scream at the thought of falling.

Ignoring Stella's cries, Sam calls out to her.

"Look, Stella-sama. Please open your eyes and look at me.

"I can't! I can't!

"Come on, come on. There's a whole new world out there that you've never seen before.

"What? ...... Ah."

Perhaps intrigued by Sam's words, Stella's movement stops as she slowly opens her eyes.

The cityscape of King's Landing and the endless horizon filled their field of vision.

"It's a nice view, isn't it? Whenever I have a bad day, I like to look far away from the sky like this.

As Stella's eyes were caught by a sight she could not normally see, Sam continued.

I don't mean to be arrogant and say that I understand everything you are feeling. I know that you have been through a lot of hardships and unpleasant experiences. I think it is very good that you are trying so hard for your parents. But you are loved."

"......I know that much. But..."

Then that's enough. You don't need the approval of someone who does nothing but gossip and badmouth. Let those who want to say things say them. Look at this big world. This world is not only people who say bad things about you. There are many allies, too.

"............"

"I used to be a hermit in a small world just like you. I wanted to escape from home, but I couldn't. The door was open and I was free to go out, but I couldn't."

Stella looks into Sam's face and asks.

"So what happened to you?"

"I got out. That's why I'm here. I was sad to leave all those people who had helped me so much, but compared to rotting away in that house, ...... it was the right decision to leave."

It reminds me of who I used to be.

I was reborn in another world, but my family environment was terrible.

I wonder what I would have done without Daphne and Derrick.

It was because of this escape from this suffocating world that I met Ur.

I learned magic, I learned combat, I traveled the world, and I learned to love.

All because I took the first step.

"I don't have ...... the courage you have."

"I'm sure you have courage too, Stella-sama."

"Even me?"

"Yes, because you stood up against the malice of those around you. Well, I can't say I don't think your methods were a little bit wrong, but you made a choice to stand up for yourself. That's a brave thing to do."

"...... I doubt that."

"Of course. Look again at the world before you."

Stella looks again at the world in her field of vision.

This time, she does not shout, but seems to be absorbed in the view.

This world is so big. Likewise, your world must be big too. It is good to stay in your room and study, but you should experience a lot of things in a wider world and be happy. Let your courage be directed to many things.

"I make you happy?"

"Yes. Parents always want their children to be happy. The same is true for the king. Which do you love more? Your parents who love you with all their heart or a nobleman whom you hardly see?

Of course they are my parents!

Then just ignore the noise. The world is a big place and there is a lot of fun to be had. Let's relax our shoulders and move forward.

I want Stella to see the wider world as I once did.

I wanted to do for Stella what Ur had done for me.

"--Yes, you're right. I guess you're right."

Stella turned to Sam.

Her face looked somewhat refreshed.

The princess smiled.

You know, I don't know what fun is. You said your name is Sam, right?

"Yes. My name is Samuel Scheidt. Please call me Sam.

"Okay, Sam. Will you be responsible for teaching me how to have fun?"

"Of course."

I want to help Stella, who is somewhat like my old self, to move forward.

Sam nodded his head in agreement without hesitation.

Stella nodded again and again in satisfaction and gave him her biggest smile of the day.

"Yes. I understand. I could marry you."

"--Hmm? Ah--ah."

(Oh shoot! I said a lot of things because he looked like the old me, but what's the use of being liked? (my ass!!!!)
