Yu Ji bent her waist, put her hands on her abdomen, parted her lips slightly, revealing her white teeth, and gasped for air.Crystal clear sweat oozed from her delicate and tender face, and it was obvious that she had run quite fast along the way.

Slender scallion fingers traced across the delicate cheeks, brushing away the sweat that had fallen down.Then Yu Ji straightened her back and asked the flattering mustachioed Nishimura: "Chief of the city gate, has Yahiko gone out?"

"Yahiko?" Mustachio Nishimura was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "Go back to Your Highness, Yahiko-kun hasn't been here yet."

After Nishimura finished speaking, Yuji breathed a sigh of relief and murmured to herself: "Oh! That's good, I thought I couldn't catch up."

"Your Highness, why are you running in such a hurry?" Nishimura rubbed his hands together and asked curiously, "Yahiko-kun is also leaving the city?"

"Well, Yahiko is leaving the castle."

Nishimura let out a surprised sound, his eyes widened like bells, staring at Yuji in surprise.The boring gatekeeping work made this descendant of a distant branch of the clan surprisingly active, and he instantly came up with a bloody plot.

"As a slave, Yahiko and the noble princess have been together for many years. They have feelings for each other and love each other. However, due to the huge identity gap, their love affair cannot be made public." Nishimura's imagination is comparable to that of a four-eyed owl. , his thoughts were dancing: "But Yahiko and Her Royal Highness the Princess don't care about their status. The two of them secretly carried out an underground affair without telling the name of the Rain Country."

"Originally, everything was well hidden, and no one discovered the love affair between Yahiko and the Princess." Nishimura's eyes flashed with a cold light, and the figure of the four-eyed owl popped up in his mind: "Until Yahiko and the Princess arrived from outside the city. Reply to a boy with glasses - an owl."

"The owl was deeply in love with the princess who rescued him, but he discovered the love affair between Yahiko and the princess. He felt that Yahiko was of low status and actually deceived the kind and beautiful princess. Jealousy and anger ignited in his heart. In order to regain the princess, the owl asked Yu The daimyo of the country reported their love affair."

"The furious Daimyo-sama arrested Yahiko without telling His Highness the Princess. He gave the Princess's servant two choices. The first choice was to secretly leave the castle by himself. The second choice was to be killed and thrown out of the castle. ." Nishimura, who couldn't stop thinking, glanced at Yu Ji who was looking around, and continued in his heart: "Unable to fight against the daimyo, Yahiko reluctantly chose the first option, but he secretly made up his mind to find him when he prospered. Return to your Royal Highness, Princess."

"There is no airtight wall in the world. The loyal maid who served Her Highness the Princess got the news and quickly reported it to Her Highness the Princess." Nishimura held his chin with his right hand and nodded with satisfaction at his guess: "That's why Your Highness the Princess will I came here in a hurry just to intercept Yahiko and leave this fortress with him."

"The sincere feelings between Her Highness the Princess and Yahiko moved the handsome gate chief Nishimura to tears." Nishimura, who was addicted to imagination, reached out to brush away the tears from the corners of his eyes and shook his head helplessly.Then his eyes showed a look of determination, and his waist was straight, like a martyr who died generously. Nishimura roared in his heart: "Although I am handsome, I really want to fulfill the wishes of Her Highness the Princess and Yahiko. But Nishimura, who can't help himself, chooses In order to be loyal to my duty... I have to be cruel and beat the poor mandarin duck once..."

"The city gate is long, the city gate is long..."

Yu Ji's call sounded in his ears. Nishimura came to his senses, immediately bent over and rubbed his hands, showing a charming look on his face, and asked: "What's wrong? Your Highness."

Looking at Nishimura who suddenly changed from high-spirited to flattering, Yuji was stunned for a moment, and then she opened her mouth and asked: "You just used the word 'ye', how could it be so?"

Did anyone else leave the castle? "

"If you want to go back to your highness, Princess, there is indeed someone else." Nishimura responded respectfully: "That person's name is Yagyu. Like me, he is a distant branch of the clan. I have some friendship with him. He resigned from the clan bodyguard and returned to the north. Gone home."

"Yagyu?" Yu Ji made a fist with her right hand and landed on her lips. After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't remember who this person was?Although she and the four-eyed owl met the former guard yesterday, Yu Ji unfortunately did not know his name at all.In such a large castle, including Yahiko, Daimyo, and Ko Kubo, there are probably less than ten people that Her Royal Highness can name.

Yuji shook her head and stopped worrying about the guard named 'Yagyu'.Holding her hands on her chest and looking at the reflection in the puddle of water with her orange eyes, Yu Ji sighed and waited quietly for Yahiko to appear.

Suddenly, Nishimura, who was accompanying Yu Ji, said excitedly: "Your Highness, Yahiko-kun is here."

Looking away from the reflection in the water, Yuji immediately looked forward.I saw Yahiko walking slowly with a luggage bag on his back and his head lowered. He didn't know whether he was thinking about his future life or missing the girl he had secretly loved for a long time.

Glancing at Yu Ji, who was silent, and then at Yahiko, who was getting closer and closer, Nishimura, who was frowning, straightened his back, folded his hands on his chest, and said secretly: "What is supposed to come will always come, Your Highness Princess , Yahiko-kun, please don’t resent my Nishimura’s cruelty..."

Yahiko, who was walking with his head bent, was reminiscing about the past.Suddenly, a familiar skirt appeared in his eyes, Yahiko's heart trembled suddenly, his nose suddenly became sore, and his eyes became hazy.

Yahiko's body began to tremble slightly, and his lowered head seemed to become heavier.The person he missed so much was right in front of him, but Yahiko didn't have the courage to raise his head.

Yahiko, who was faceless, took a deep breath, suppressed the sadness in his heart, and a trembling voice floated out of his mouth: "Your Highness Princess...are you...what's the matter?"

Looking at Yahiko who stuttered and did not dare to look directly at him, Yuji showed a bitter smile and warned: "On the road... pay attention to safety and take care of yourself..."

Yu Ji's words made Nishimura, who was about to beat the mandarin ducks, suddenly stunned.Shocked eyes flickered back and forth between the two of them. The mustachioed city gate chief covered his face with his hands, puzzled.

Yuji's instructions echoed in his ears, and tears welled up from his eyes. Yahiko hurriedly raised his right hand, trying to brush away the tears flowing from his eyes. Unfortunately, these crystal clear water drops broke. Like a pearl of thread, it could not stop falling slowly.

Yahiko bit the corners of his lips lightly, letting the whine stay in his throat, and roared in his heart: "Why did Her Highness the Princess appear? Why not to stay? I don't want to leave, I really don't want to leave..."

The words in his heart were not spoken after all, Yahiko nodded.Yuji didn't say anything, she just moved out of the way.The two people who were once familiar now passed each other like strangers.

Yahiko stopped and took out a piece of letterhead from his arms. Nishimura inspected it and handed it back, waving to the guards.After receiving the order, the guard took action, and the closed city gate creaked, revealing a gap as wide as one person.

After passing through the city gate, Yahiko, with tears streaming down his face, suddenly turned around and looked at the girl who was thinking about her dream. His hoarse and sad voice said: "Your Highness, do we still have a chance to meet again?"

Yuji was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.The city gate closed again with a creaking sound.The devastated Yahiko turned around and started walking again, but his feet became inexplicably heavy...
