Allendis leans in pushing her against the bookshelf. Shocking Aristia, her face filled with confusion as she looks up at Allendis who was about a head taller. The two forgetting about [Y/N] as she stands there, face filled with shock and disbelief. Did they just forget that she was right here? Should she run while she can or stay and watch this romantic scene right in front of her?

"...Allendis?" Aristia slowly asks in a whisper.

"Aristia, you..." Allendis slowly says causing a suspension. "You're quite selfish, aren't you?" he chuckles making Aristia dumb frown.

[Y/N] could only tilt her head in confusion, "That quite rude to say isn't it?" she thought to herself.

"What...?" was all Aristia could mutter out in the moment of confusion.

"So you also want a knight who only looks up to you? I didn't expect that." Allendis says shrugging his shoulders as he does so. Making both [Y/N] and Aristia deadpan at the action.

"That's not true..!" Aristia says, defending herself.

"No, it's not a bad thing, just...don't you think an oath of eternal love is too difficult? And what if they can't be together even if they love each other?" Allendis asks the two girls in the room.

"For example what if a knight falls in love with the same person his lord loves? Will the knight break his oath if his lord commands him to give up? Or will he break the loyalty to his lord and choose love? What if the other person already has a loved one? Is it really possible to keep an oth beautiful forever?" 

Hearing Allendis' example [Y/N] could feel the room moving around in circles, it was like back in the garden in the castle under the tree. Could this be another clue of this body's past life?

"I'm sorry my love...but the emperor had commanded me to lead the soldiers to war, if I'm not there we might lose the fight...but don't worry I'll be back." the man said reassuring his lover.

"Would you like to play chess as well, [Y/N]?" Allendis asks, getting no reply form the girl as she looks into the distance blankly.

"...[Y/N]?" Aristia asks looking at the girl worriedly. She had notice [Y/N] being more space out than usual, sometimes even hitting herself on the wall as they walked.
