The automotive trip on the way in which to highschool was often Emilia’s time to calm down on Crystal’s lap whereas having Dixie give her a foot therapeutic massage, however at the moment her place was reversed. And provided that she already had the privateness display up, Dixie could not assist however be just a little nervous as she ran her fingers by means of Emilia’s hair.

The crimson-haired lady closed her eyes as she hummed. “How are issues in your mother’s aspect, Dixie?”

The dark-haired lady cleared her throat awkwardly. “W-Nicely, largely high-quality. Nobody tried to kill her but, at the very least.”

Taking a sideways look at Crystal, who was busy teasing Emilia’s pearly little toes with a smile, Dixie silently breathed a sigh of aid. ‘If she knew that my mother was making bizarre, harassing calls to her mother…’

Though she had by no means seen the blonde lady get mad, Dixie all the time believed that the calmer somebody was usually, the more serious they might be after they actually misplaced it. And never solely was Crystal much more docile than her princess, however she additionally treasured her mom quite a bit.

Emilia knew neither the twists and turns in Dixie’s head, nor the advanced relationship between Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Miller, so she simply nodded absently. “…That is good.”

So far as she was involved, probably the most harmful interval for Mrs. Brown was the time between Amos going lacking and being discovered. That was when the Black Tiger was most definitely to lash out towards potential culprits, and Emilia believed that Mrs. Brown should positively be on that checklist.

In spite of everything, regardless that her firm was ‘tiny’, she was already one of many few who dared to immediately slap the Black Tiger Company’s face. And the mark was nonetheless contemporary on Mr. Black’s face when Amos went lacking.

After all, issues went a lot better than she anticipated, because the matter actually did efficiently divert Black Tiger away from Mrs. Brown, and landed them a ‘sleeping victory’ on each fronts. Mrs. Brown was capable of recover from her disaster and tremendously broaden her firm, and Emilia was capable of not solely full her mission but additionally deal a substantial quantity of injury to the hero’s aspect.

And now that Amos was already discovered, it was a lot much less possible for the Black Tiger to hurry into biting the heads off of ‘potential’ culprits with their eyes set on discovering the actual perpetrator. However until they may establish ashes that had already been scattered within the wind, that was a misplaced trigger.

After all, whether or not they had any concept that they have been being led by the nostril or not, Emilia had no technique to know. All she may do was have Noelle fastidiously observe their actions with out arousing suspicion, and hope for the perfect.

Urgent her face towards Dixie’s heat palm, Emilia smiled. “Since that’s so, it must be high-quality so that you can go away your mom’s aspect and return to me.”

Dixie blinked, pleasantly shocked. “Actually?!”

She’d thought that Emilia would not let her do something greater than escort her backwards and forwards from faculty for at the very least the subsequent few weeks, however happiness got here prior to she anticipated!

It wasn’t that she actually hated being together with her mom — though that was true — however between spending time with Emilia and being irritated by her mother… was there any have to ask which one she would select?

Emilia simply smiled. “Sure. I missed you.”

A smile lit up Dixie’s face in apparent delight, and Emilia could not assist however lean as much as kiss her chin lovingly. “Cute.”

Dixie blushed as she turned her head away, not daring to look her princess within the eye. She may solely be exceedingly grateful that she was a lady, or Emilia would positively be complaining about one thing poking the again of her head by now. 

Unaware of her knight’s unusual ideas, the crimson-haired lady could not assist however sigh. “By the way in which, are both of you interested by studying the best way to drive?”

Though she believed that the driving force that Noelle assigned to her was positive to be reliable, there was additionally a sure danger, and Emilia additionally typically traveled in Dixie’s automotive. She believed that having certainly one of her buddies drive can be the right long-term answer for the longer term.

Dixie and Crystal turned to take a look at one another in shock earlier than the dark-haired lady nodded. “I am going to join driving classes from tomorrow, then.”

The age at which one may begin driving legally of their nation was fourteen, in order that had by no means been a problem for years. However Crystal’s household by no means had a automotive of their very own, and Dixie by no means felt the necessity to learn to drive. 

In spite of everything, even when she discovered the best way to do it, Mrs. Brown was unlikely to simply accept eradicating the bodyguard and driver from responsibility.

However now that she thought of it, Dixie realized that she would not be a really certified knight if she could not even take her princess from one place to a different with out anybody else helping her, so she agreed with out hesitation.

As for Emilia… if a automotive engine may neigh like a horse, she would possibly have the ability to delude herself into pondering she may drive.

The crimson-haired lady grinned. “Good. If we’re to go on a street journey with simply the few of us, certainly one of us must know the best way to drive, proper?”

The absence of Amos had by no means precipitated a lot of a splash within the Imperial Academy, so Emilia was just a little shocked when she heard his title from Koko when the lady made her routine ‘report’ on the varsity’s gossip after class. And Penny additionally nodded whereas snuggling on Emilia’s lap, confirming the ‘rumors’.

“There’s such a factor?”

“Sure!”

After all, none of them have been very clear on why Amos would want 9 months of go away like this, and would solely be taking the end-of-term examination below ‘particular supervision’.

Given the Black Tiger’s standing, so long as Amos was capable of present a legitimate motive, this sort of state of affairs wasn’t fully unimaginable, however Emilia nonetheless discovered it just a little unusual.
