Our footsteps echoed against the red carpet.
My Lady and I walked in unison, with my position slightly behind her.
My Lady was in front of me, fidgeting with her fingers. Her gaze fell downward before she looked back at me.
"…Touji. Is this truly the only way?" she asked. Her tone was slightly weak.
I gave a thin nod. "Yes, My Lady. That is the only method you can attempt right now."
Her gaze dropped back down. "…But I do not think I can do it. It is far too embarrassing…" she confessed. Both of her cheeks flushed red.
I watched her from behind, slightly puzzled by her demeanor. However, it was only natural. Especially since she was just beginning.
I offered a faint smile. "If you do not start now, when do you intend to do it, My Lady? Whether we are capable of something or not, we must first try to do it. So, you must be confident, My Lady! I am certain you can do it," I advised.
