Emilia wanted to speak with him because she learned how far better she deserved instead of him. And she felt guilty that she is willing to move on from him without giving him a warning. Subaru clutched his shirt and leaned against the door while whimpering in pain. Choking his agony-filled sobs to not alert the goddess on the balcony in front of him of his pain. He bit his lip as hard as he could. His legs shook because of the Witch's wrath-filled words that had been pushed into his brain. What is wrong with you Subaru? What are you doing?" The small maid whispered as she swiftly followed the boy through the hallways of the estate with a worried look on her face. Why was her smell all over you, I wonder?" Beatrice asked firmly while glaring at the bed with conviction.

And now that she had learned how he was treating himself and the other members of her camp because of his stupid thinking… S-Subaru… " Emilia whispered brokenly. Worried for her knight. And terrified of the despaired expression on the boy's face. Emilia-sama wants to meet with you for dinner after an hour. Please meet her in the second wing, quarter dining room." The maid told softly and turned to leave without letting him say a word. A determined councillor enlisted the help of her local gym and beauty salon to help dozens of hard-up Wolverhampton families during the half term break. Save it." The maid shut him down with malice coating his voice. "You can stop pretending whenever you want. Just know that my sister is lonely every night because you've stopped visiting her. I don't know why I would want to have a shoe rag such as yourself within my sister's presence. But I'm guessing she must've been a charitable person to have tolerated you enough to build a relationship with you. I don't remember her. But I will love her until I do. You were the one visiting her bed every night, speaking, sharing, telling, and giving all of your memories and adventures to my sister. Every. Single. Night. You held her hand and cried at the side of her bed."Her soft fingers crushed his scalp as she leaned down until her mouth was right next to the boy's ear. The last night was one of Emilia's worst and most painful nights. She didn't know if she even slept since she had been crying her eyes out the whole night. The thoughts of being all alone for the rest of her life scared her. The thought of her wonderful friend-turned-knight not loving her anymore was so wrong and painful to her. She wanted his warmth. She wanted his smile. She wanted him to stand by her side as Subaru Natsuki… Not some boring proper knight…. He never noticed her moving from the balcony to the door of the room to greet him, or her standing over his nearly collapsing body. Thanks to all of my friends and family that had helped me with some really rough days this past week.

It made his heart stand completely still at every word of confession she threw at him. His stomach moved and tumbled as if singing butterflies were in it. His entire nervous system collapsed into a puddle just from her passionate touch as she toyed with his hair by the very tip of her fingers. I don't want to be alone anymore…" The boy whimpered in the darkness while his tears ran down his cheeks. I'm so sorry… please forgive me…" He pleaded on the ground to whatever invisible tormentor that could see him. You already made me so happy just by staying by my side and now that I've come to tell you how much I love you too, how much you make happy, Subaru was loved. Intensely. Powerfully. Completely. Truly. Possessively. Full heartedly. Overwhelmingly. Impossibly. Diligently.

The boy's vision went white and his entire body went numb. Feeling the brief sensation of the ground, a ground, beneath him filled his soul with some form of relief. A sensation of something moving beneath his head. Something soft and smooth. Comfortable and addicting. You managed to make this useless and pathetic kid have a use in this damn world. You made me feel like I was some chosen hero that could do anything because my princess believes in me! I was so happy that you saw me as someone you could waste your time with. The talentless boy from Japan, one who can't do anything except whine and complain all of the time. Useless and arrogant. So selfish I might even care about my own life rather than yours or the camp!" Course not, I suppose. Are you an idiot, I wonder? Betty would never leave her hopeless contractor on his own."
