Warm sunshine illuminates the vast gardens maintained.
Finished lawns, straightened white roads, flowers planted calculated to look good every season. Designed by a well-known landscaper for his taste.
"Really, it's a beautiful garden"
Alicia, who leaked her admiration for the blistering coming up from the golden horse in the center of the fountain, looked at Foreign Minister Mrs. Beatrice Crown, who would sit down quite well.
The lady, dressed in a cool summer dress, grinned gracefully in response to Alicia.
"It is in this garden that numerous ancestors who have left their names in history have held important meetings. It's very honorable to be hosted at a tea party like that."
"That is a testament to Elizabeth's trust in Beatrice. If it wasn't for Beatrice, His Majesty wouldn't be able to trust you with everything."
"Oh, Charlotte. You're really good at this. Don't say too much to keep me on track. 'Cause it makes me happy."
Now the wind passes through the sound, and the blister of the fountain spreads glistening in the sun.
Baked confectionery and tea sets line the garden table with white lace in the shade where buildings mimic ancient civilizations are made. It is Mrs Crown, the master of the Tea Party, Alicia, a guest from a neighbouring country, the young princess of the Royal Family of Aardhar, and... that surrounds it.
"Uh... can I call you Charlotte, too, about you?
"Of course! Rather, it's enough for you to call me!
I let my face shine and Charlotte Yugdrasil made my voice play. In front of the smile of innocence itself, as Alicia, it becomes a bit of a complicated comfort, but I have no choice.
In fact, if you look nearby from the beautiful garden, the escort knights of both countries refrain from being too far away to hear if you are a small voice. But without even making such an obscure atmosphere feel like dew, Beatrice gracefully carried the teacup to her mouth and smiled.
"Today, it's a casual tea party just for women. Enjoy yourselves."
The tea party held by Beatrice Crown has two meanings.
One is the aim of bringing Alicia and the Royal family of Aardhar closer together, which has never had any interaction before.
There are four other direct line children in the Royal Family of Aardhar besides Prince Fritz. Two of us are princes and two are princesses. As the Empress and Prince Fritz and Alicia had met for the first time, even for the other children, we had never met before. In order to re-establish such a relationship between the two countries, I would have dared to set up a seat with the two young princesses and Alicia, unaccompanied by princes and empresses.
And the other is the aim to relieve Alicia of her vigilance against Beatrice and Charlotte, caregivers during her stay.
Throughout this visit, the Empress is trying to identify whether Alicia has a vessel of kings or whether she is one of them. I'm pretty sure you're letting Alicia report on the two caregivers as well.
(Well, I want to know about this kid too, so that's not convenient)
Pretending to look at the little bird whimpering, Alicia stole a look at Miss Charlotte. That Charlotte is doing it by splitting baked confectionery on Lilianna's plate, the sister of the twin princesses who gleams her eyes and stares at the confectionery.
See how things go for a while, so that you keep a certain distance from Miss Charlotte. The brunette aide pushed so many times, but Alicia and I are just not going to turn our fingers and watch things happen.
Well, how should we cut in?
Alicia's nervousness as she glanced at Ranlan and asked for the opportunity, posing as the wind enjoying the tea party gracefully on the surface, was shattered, however, with a single voice of innocent toddler girl.
"Hey, hey, Sister Shea. When are your sister and brother Fritz getting married?
"Huh!?
Alicia, who was about to blow out her tea, managed to stay where she was. It was dangerous. Whatever it was, it almost damaged my character as the princess of the Highland royal family.
Nevertheless, before the upset could even subside, Alicia limped her smile and turned her face to Laurencia, the sister of the twin princesses.
"I'm in trouble, Lawrencia. My lord and I are not friends who have sworn a future."
"But my sister and my brother are bound by the thread of destiny, right? Hey, Lili."
"That's what my mother and the women were saying. Hey, Lara."
Alicia was stunned by the two princesses, who put their cheeks on and nodded "hey". How hard it is to deny when you are so full of expectations!
I don't know, is this among the calculations of Emperor Elizabeth? Namely, farther afield, it also uses pure innocent daughters to shake them up, an operation that creates an air that is somehow forced to marry them......
Alicia was somewhat suspicious of paranoia, but, once again, she reconsidered that this was an opportune opportunity. And I rushed to move my gaze to Charlotte.
If Miss Charlotte were to have feelings for Prince Fritz, she would never be calm if her immediate royalty made such a statement, even if she were young. No matter how good it is to hide your mind, it's not strange to wear it out a little.
Isn't that strange?
"Right, Master Lili, Master Lara. Alicia and Fritz looked great."
"Right!
"Look, this is what Charlotte says too!
"" Hey. ""
"Really?"
To Charlotte, who agrees with the princesses with a smile of peace itself, Alicia accidentally nearly slipped off the chair she was sitting on.
(This kid really has nothing to do with Prince Fritz...?
This even makes me wonder if the figure of the previous life, which was protected by the king's arms as a pet princess, was more of a dream.
Note that the pursuit by the two innocent princesses was managed to pay for the fact that Beatrice, who apparently received the bewilderment about the bewildering Alicia as a confusion about edge bickering, provided a help boat.
Even then, Alicia cautioned Charlotte not to miss out on minor facial changes, but she just got the impression that she was a pleasant daughter.
In doing so, the twin princesses, who indulged in both tea and confectionery, have suggested that they want to take a walk in the garden. Anything, he wants to show Alicia his favorite rose garden.
There can be no reason to refuse the adorable offer of the two princesses to sparkle. There was also a push of Beatrice that the rose was just in time for sight, and they took each other together and relaxed around the garden.
"At stake, my princess. In such a hurry, you'll fall and get hurt, won't you?
The Beatrice, who chases the butterfly a little after that, gently begs the twin princesses who lead the way. But they're pretty good sisters who want to play.
"If Lili falls, what Lara will help you with"
"If Lara falls, what Lili will nadenade for you"
"" Hey. ""
The two princesses, who wear their breasts well, are so cute, Alicia's face looses. But she forgot. that next to her, (even if you just don't remember the other side), there are causal opponents walking side by side.
"Isn't it cute? Lilianna and Laurencia are really close, and they're always together."
"Yeah..."
Charlotte Yugdrasil smiles and talks as she narrows her eyes in the early summer sun and feels comfortable. For the first time since then, even without trying, Alicia realized that she and Charlotte had had the opportunity to speak alone.
Again, Alicia turned her attention to herself and the girl of her age.
Adorable girl. The facial construction is never flashy, but everything is preferred, with big, hard eyes and a rustic, bright grin like flowers blooming in the summer. Smiles look many times better on her than the tense look she gave her in her previous life.
"- Is Charlotte close to Lady Lillianna or Lawrencia?
"Huh?"
"Here, here. I'm calling you by your nickname."
Wasn't it in an unnatural condition, like putting in an exploration? For a moment, it was Alicia driven by anxiety, but there's nothing on Charlotte's side that I particularly cared about. Rather, you were happy to have spoken from Alicia, brightening your expression all the time.
"The truth is, it's a shame that people in positions like me call you by your nickname... You and I met each other every once in a while when we were with Master Beatrice. So, you two forgive me for calling you nicknames."
According to her story, Beatrice, a former royal and with a thick trust from the empress, often goes up to the castle to deal with princes and princesses. Indeed, there would be no better educator than she, who has crossed numerous diplomatic venues with her husband, Foreign Minister Crown.
On the other hand, Charlotte, daughter of Chancellor Eric Yugdrasil, has also been taken by her father to engage with royal children for a long time.
That is why, since she began to conduct apprenticeships under Beatrice, the Lady also actively accompanied Charlotte up to the Royal Castle. That's why she started talking intimately to Princess Lilianna and Princess Laurencia, she said.
"So, with His Highness Fritz?
To Alicia, who cut in thoughtfully, Charlotte was so shy as to clap out, "No way!" I laughed.
"I can't believe I'm close to Your Highness, so, so terrified"
"Why? Do you and that guy have to face each other?
"There is, and I'll talk to you..."
Charlotte, who seems to be seriously thinking about it, had been arming herself and indulging in the universe for a while. Then I stumbled and crushed.
"Your Highness does not try to show people much of your heart.... Ah!
When he blued his face unexpectedly, Charlotte blocked his mouth with both hands all the time. I can't help it. It is not strange that what we are saying is taken as disrespect for the prince, and the person we are talking to is a guest from a neighbouring country, which is also royal.
But it's bad for Charlotte, who panics with her eyes black and white, but Alicia finally relieves herself. It's good to feel, and it's not like I'm talking to you. It's not a bad spin in the head. But dexterity enough to make a rush, she's not equipped.
Trust me, will you?
In an effort to calm down Charlotte, who was still in a hurry, Alicia reached out and gently pulled off both hands that were covering her mouth. And I leaned my own mouth in Charlotte's ear, disguised as the wind caught my attention by the blooming flowers.
"It's okay. The knights are far away, and Master Beatrice is obsessed with the princesses. I'm the only one who's heard what I'm saying."
"So,"
"Naturally, is that what you say to everyone? Of course, to Master Beatrice. Instead, I want to know better. About His Highness Fritz, about yourself."
To Charlotte, who circles her eyes in surprise, Alicia puts her index finger on her lips like a prank.
"Please. Right? Just Us, Himitsu"
"Dear Alicia..."
... As for the maiden who fell in love, I felt Charlotte's cheek stained in light red, but Alicia decided not to care about it.
When it comes to what is important at this point, it is nothing more than the fact that we were able to create one important source of information within Aardar.
