Chapter 248 I am glad to have you by my side
Despite Felicia's words about giving up on searching for Allen, each time she ventured out in her wheelchair, her gaze inevitably wandered, desperately searching for Allen. However, after three agonizing days of fruitless searching, a realization struck her - there was one place she had yet to explore. The kitchen, an unlikely location where she doubted Allen could possibly be found.
That afternoon, Rachel left Felicia alone in her room because, at that hour, Rachel would be helping Reynold in his room. Felicia then tried to go to the kitchen alone in her wheelchair.
"Lady, let me help you," asked one of the maids who stood in front of her room.
"No need! I wanted to walk alone; I am just going to check something in the kitchen."
She goes to the kitchen. Once she arrived at the kitchen, Felicia sat in front of the door, holding the doorknob.
"Huh, what an idiot. No way Allen is here," Felicia muttered.
The door swung open, but it wasn't Felicia who opened it, but the person on the other side of the door.
"Allen!" exclaimed Felicia, clearly surprised.
"Fe-felicia..."
They both uttered it, staring at one another in awkward silence.
-CREAAAAAK,
Allen swiftly attempted to shut the door, but not fast enough! In a swift reaction, Felicia extended her foot to prevent it from closing completely.
-BAM
"OUCH!" The door clamped down on Felicia's foot, and it was quite tough.
"Ah! Sorry, I didn't mean to!" said a guilty Allen.
Felicia clutched her leg, visibly distressed by the intense pain. Her gaze hardened as she directed it towards Allen, conveying anger and frustration. In response, Allen immediately tried to run away from there.
"Hey, don't run away!" Felicia tried to exert effort to rise from her wheelchair. Unfortunately, her muscles were not fully healed, causing her to stumble and collapse with a resounding crash.
-BRAK
"Felicia! Are you okay?" Allen, who had partially climbed to the window, quickly returned to Felicia to help her.
Just as Allen was about to pick her up,
-GRAB
Felicia immediately leaped her whole body forward and wrapped her arms around Allen's body firmly.
"I finally caught you."
"W-what! So you were just pretending to be in pain?!"
"Fool! I really fell! Now my whole body hurts." Then, with a smaller voice and face pressed against Allen's stomach; she said, "Thinking that I'm burdening you hurts me more."
"What did you say?"
"Why do you keep running away from me?! If you keep running away, how can I possibly know what you're thinking? You must have something to say to me, right?!"
"N-no, I have nothing to say."
"Huh?! You liar! Why are you suddenly reluctant? If you have something to say to me, just tell me everything! You've always said all the bad things to me!
You clearly showed that you were tired of dealing with me back then.
You also didn't hesitate to say that I was annoying.
You also yelled everything you thought."
"That's true," Allen said. "I used to be very stupid, I'm sorry for saying bad things to you. I didn't think at all about the feelings of people who could have been hurt by my words.
Now that I think about it, I must have caused you a lot of trouble."
"What do you mean?"
"Starting from my arrival at this house, I immediately yelled at you, even though you tried so hard to get me treated here.
You made me a knight so I could get protection from Lord Boldenville, and the evil me thought of using that for my revenge on Leofric.
In the Biverlay region, I also made a bad move on your noble friends; perhaps they hated you for that.
In the castle too, I left you that night alone until you were seriously injured, and in the end I also fainted and failed to save you, and then..." in his heart, Allen continued
'I'm also the one who killed the person you love.'
Because there was a long pause between Allen's words, Felicia lifted her head, looking at Allen's face, which looked very sad. That red, teary eye looked directly at Felicia's eyes and said, "Maybe I should have never met you."
'What the hell is that...' Felicia thought.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT... YOU, STUPID ALLEN! YOU LITERAL IDIOT!"
"What?!"
"DON'T ACT LIKE YOU KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT ME!" shouted Felicia as she smashed her head into Allen's chest.
"I've fed up! With my father! With my royal status! That's why I brought you here! To piss him off! So that I can finally fight him back!"
"Felicia?"
"In the Biverlay region you made me hated by my friends?! What the hell! I don't care about them! They're just people who approached me because of my status!"
"Th-then, what about that night? I made you-"
"Yes, it was your fault! Even my sleeping for three years is your fault!
It's all because you danced with me that night!
It's all because you said I was pretty that I couldn't stand to throw up and left!
It's all because… you stupidly said my god's blessing is amazing, don't you think how happy I was when I heard that?!
I felt acknowledged, and then I suddenly got excited myself and healed all the soldiers!
Everything is your fault!"
"I am… sorry"
"YOU IDIOT!" Felicia hit Allen's chin with her head.
"Ouch!"
Felicia looked into Allen's face while pointing at his chest.

"After I've told you this much, don't you get it?!
I wanted to tell you that it was all a good thing!
Meeting you was the best thing that happened in my life! You're the only friend who thinks of me as me. You're always honest and tell me things the way they are.
That's why you shouldn't say that we should never meet. I am glad to have you by my side."
