Black Haired King

gossip, the delusions of certain maids.

"Wow, you're sleepy in the morning."

"Look, I'm just leaving, Lily."

"Huh."

I follow my senior samurai, Senior McCline. My name is Lily. I'm still the first rookie to be a samurai.

I started work early this morning and my eyelids are heavy. When you're relaxing behind Senior McCline and you're still following him, you suddenly hit something. There he is! What the hell happened? I thought so. Apparently, I hit a stopped Senior McCline.

Senior McCline was stopping when he saw the garden person visible through the hallway window.

"Senior McCline, what the hell is wrong with you?

"Shit! Lily, come here!

Senior McCline will stop straight up to the window to see the view from the window while hiding. I peek into the window just like Senior McCline next door. When Senior McCline sees those pointing fingers.

"Is that... dark hair!?

Wow, I've never seen a brunette before. I am still the second daughter of the Baron's family. I've only heard about dark hair so far to the extent of rumors, but you really existed!

"That man, perhaps a rumor among the senior-samurai with the Crown Princess of Froze."

"Rumors...... is it?

"Yeah. Everything seems to be one of the representatives of the fourth grade of this pro-good battle, the baron of the Albust kingdom."

"Heh? Isn't that a son or something?

When I ask Senior McCline, Senior McCline nods. Heh heh, listen to me, you're younger than me but you've already inherited the house. That's amazing. Because I'm 16.

"And then I heard another one."

"What?

"Anything, Mr. Beatrice likes."

"What!?

I've had a lot of surprising voices. And Senior McCline will slap you. But you don't have a choice!

I have heard that Master Beatrice only comes close to people he likes. I hear that even the samurai with the Princess Wang won't even hold hands if they don't like it. That's what I can't believe people like about being here for the first time yesterday.

I see such a dark-haired man. Wow, it's amazing. I don't know much about martial arts, but I know that guy moves awesome. Senior McCline is attracted to it, too.

And after a little while, it was over. Me and Senior McCline watched it in silence. Rumor has it that a brunette is dirty and a lowlife, but you don't think that at all from that guy. On the contrary, the aristocrats who are saying it look dirtier. I can't say it in my mouth though.

"Ah!"

Senior McCline will speak up if you think about that. What the hell happened? So I thought I'd take a look, and a very pretty guy was talking to a guy with dark hair.

That guy knows me, too. Certainly your name is Dear Victoria. I hear that you are a courtesan of the duke of the kingdom of Albusto and also of the Crown Princess of Froze.

What does it have to do with talking to someone that close to you like that?

"Could that be... forbidden love?

"Huh! What the hell do you mean, Senior McCline!?

I look at Senior McCline in surprise. Senior McCline is confident.

"'Cause even if you think about it, look. A man with dark hair is a baron, even when he says noble. That's no way to match the Duke's lady. And you have dark hair. So, we're just spending a lot of time as a team standing out, but we meet early in the morning or late at night and spend a handful of time together!

I came to say that. Whoa! I see! If you ask me that, I don't think I'm just a teammate or a student at school. You do come tighter thinking about that!

Then, the two of them started walking in the garden amicably. Oh, it's like a story. The two of them meet even though they know they'll never be tied. Even though I know this time is going to be a hard one, I'm going to miss you. Me and Senior McCline couldn't help but notice.

And the two of them sit on a bench that was nearby. Then the two of them have a serious look or a very dark face. What the hell are you talking about? I'm curious.

"Maybe you're talking about the future. Back from this friendly fight, the school graduates because those two are already in fourth grade. In that case, the two contacts will be gone. Women will have fiancées, too. So I think we're talking about what we're going to do."

I see. That's why women look pretty spicy. Ugh, that's going to make me cry when I think about it. I want to be with you, but destined to be apart. Ugh, it's pathetic.

As I wipe my tears with a handkerchief, again

"What!? Shh!"

And I heard Senior McCline's surprise. I wipe my tears in a hurry and peek through the window. Then.

"Wow, that's an awesome smile!

If you were a woman who looked sad until earlier, you were pointing a smile at a man with dark hair so much that we women thought it was beautiful to see it.

"No way, what a person!

"What the hell is wrong with you, Senior McCline!?

"Ah, that brunette man, maybe, confessed. You said I would definitely take it."

"Kyaaaa!

I screamed a lot of excitement. But that's...

"Could that be an escape?

Isn't that the hard life ahead of us? If that's what you think...

"No, that's impossible if you look at that guy's face. Maybe he's going to do enough to admit he's around."

"Yes, what the hell do you do?

"I don't know. But there were wars before, and there are lands still undeclared in the Albust kingdom. There's nothing you can't do if you want to win a medal."

Aww! Shh, that's awesome! That's it for one favorite woman...... It's certainly no wonder you look so happy when you say that.

Then, the two stand off the bench and start walking again. Aww, that finger is going to touch me and the distance I won't touch it. Senior McCline and I couldn't keep our eyes open until the two of us returned to the outhouse while maintaining that distance.

"Wow, that was awesome."

"Yes, I've seen something outrageous in the morning"

It was such a series of surprises that I woke up, too, wanting to sleep.

Both me and Senior McCline saw something amazing, so I stayed, excited, and couldn't move. But that shouldn't have happened. Because...

"You guys. What are you skipping in a place like this!

And because the chief samurai found me. Naturally there's no way I could say I was snooping around, and my job doubled that day. But I've seen something amazing, so let's say good!
