That was after lunch.
"Oh, Kuro-kun!
Before the reunion of discussions, only the breaks taken by the sushi.
Not that I have any particular business, then Clovis, who was walking down the hallway from the discourse room to view even Held's town, was called out where he plugged in front of a room.
Looking back and searching for the Lord of the Voice, the aide found Jude making a gesture out of the open door.
"Just great! Give me a hand, will you? What, it'll be over soon!
Jude called me in yesterday where I was introduced as one of the Nicole family's collection rooms. The room, surprisingly decorated with porcelain on one side of the wall, was named "Between the East," meaning Jude's favorite room.
Jude called Clovis into the room and asked him to hold the chair down for a while because he would stand on the chair. In doing so, he went up on it as declared, fine-tuning the angle of the painting plate on the high.
"Thanks for the help. When the servant cleaned it, it seemed a little bent. If you're concerned, you can't leave them alone."
Laughing loudly, Jude looks up at the wall satisfied. Once again, Clovis stood next to him and watched the wonderful specialties.
"Well, you've collected this much porcelain."
"There's only a few things I've bought. Generations of principals gathered a little bit. If I had a chip, I wouldn't have done it."
I take a nearby picture plate and Jude strokes it lovingly.
"Actually, in my realm, I also do porcelain research."
"Really?"
Clovis stared at the sturdy neighbor as he opened the cleaver's eyes.
The porcelain, carried from beyond the distant sea, has smooth beautiful white skin and vibrant paintings, many collectors among the nobles. But until that technology, it's not traditional, and even with something like it, perfect porcelain can only be made across the far ocean.
For this reason, enthusiastic collectors from all over the country, not just from Heilland and Aaldar, are studying with a view to completing porcelain within their own territory. However, I have never known that the Marquis of Rosen is one of them.
"Better than here, in the countryside. When I asked a merchant familiar with the East, the soil seemed to matter. Of course I like porcelain, but if I succeed, it will definitely make a huge profit."
"That's what royalty everywhere will order."
"At that time, I would definitely ask the Broad Area Chamber of Commerce to mediate. We'll be so busy selling them to fly."
Wet the surface gently with the sleeves, then gently return the painting plate to the wall clasp as Jude seemed to take care of it. Watching it, Clovis thought, as if this room were the history of the Nicole family itself.
A clan who has been trained in the port town where excellent specialties gather and has chosen certain products by their own hands. Thoroughly eliminate what is wasted, what is trivial, and leave only what is valuable to us.
"So, I'm in this"
"You're Graham's relative, aren't you?"
Gently bowing his head, Clovis stops trying to exit. If his body was slightly stretched and the aide looked back, Jude gave him a refreshing grin and spread his hands.
"Don't get so comfortable. It's not easy to eat. But if it's a reaction, I wonder if it's close to blood."
"Zach Graham is my grandfather."
Without putting any emotions on his brilliant face, Clovis answered concisely. I am accustomed to being asked this way due to its appearance characteristics. But now it's an important phase of whether Jude can be on our side or not.
There must be no such thing as your presence becoming the shackles of the way Alicia goes. At that time, let him remove the barrier with all his own, but if it does not come true, Clovis will not be able to forgive himself.
Well, what's the Marquis Rosen going to do?
In contrast to Clovis, who misses every move of his opponent because of his loyalty to the princess and his self-esteem, just Jude raised his insane voice.
"You're my grandson! In the street, you're born with that hair and eyes!
"Since when, have you noticed?
"I guess since you got off the carriage. The dark hair of the Graham family is a rarity. After the incident, the Grahams disappeared completely off the table, so I didn't think they were that close."
Knowing the Graham family naturally means knowing what someone named Zach Graham has done in the past. Nonetheless, Jude's eyes only have the color of pure interest.
Clovis' face must have turned out to be a surprise. Jude laughed bitterly.
"Kuro-kun and I are similar. We are haters of each other, aristocratic detractors. Why did you give Princess Alicia a hand like that?
"Why, what?
"I understand very well that that man is an outmoded princess. But with just one ideal, the country doesn't move."
A wise man would know. [M] To Jude confirming so, Clovis laid down his beautiful, clear purple eyes.
"Even if you know it, you seem particularly loyal to her. I wonder why that is?
Why I serve Princess Alicia.
Unconsciously, Clovis looked at his right hand. There are still memories of when they were grabbed by small hands.
Needless to say, it was at that ceremony that he decided in his heart to support Alicia. But now, is that really all?
Slightly, he shook his head slowly in response to his question.
