Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

And - the day of the wedding is coming. I'm ready to rehearse to confirm the steps, and I'm ready for a lot of things, and all I have to do is give you an actual ceremony later.

Both Albert and Ophelia enter separate holding rooms at the Royal Castle, and until the ceremony begins, the bride and groom take the form of hair, costumes and makeup that we accompany them.

The flow around here is not the same as when I had the coronation and the wedding.

Me, Elliot, Talcott, Chester, and Marquis Foblester in Albert's holding room. Grace and Ashley and the others are escorting them to Ophelia's holding room.

Speaking of, Albert sets his hair firmly with scented oil, and his clothes are also a solid courtesy. The crown stands for being a prince. I got the crown of the duke after the crowning ceremony, but Albert has the crown.

The bridegroom costume is a white tuxedo with embroidered gold thread, but also a solid one with shoulder tags and cape.

"I'm not used to these solid things, so I'm in trouble."

And it is Albert, who laughs bitterly.

"Ah. Even at my wedding... I guess so"

Wearing these courtesies and outfits will tighten your mind, but in case you get dirty, do you have a cramped feeling?

"I remember being nervous about Russia when I got dressed, too."

"Surely it's not on its own again with a normal ceremony, I think. Once the ceremony had begun, we could do something about it."

You remember Elliot and the Marquis Foblester, too, and I smile bitterly at my words and respond.

"Well, unlike me, Al's not polite, so I guess it's good."

"Ha. Theo, that's what you say. You're going to be good at it. If that's what it looks like, didn't you throw away my manners, too? I don't normally have to worry about it, so I guess I'm blunt."

Albert laughs at my words. You seem to have lost a little shoulder strength, above all.

"His Royal Highness did it in the style of a boulder."

"Right. I think I need to be an apprentice now."

As Chester said, Talcott also nodded with his eyes closed and impressed. They can both be serious expressions...... Aren't Chester and Talcott more human resources than some people are thinking about getting married?

I just had that conversation, and Albert, who was laughing, gets a serious look and opens his mouth.

"Again...... thanks. Blessed by everyone, I can't believe we're celebrating a day like this... I never imagined it a while ago. Believe me, I haven't done anything yet, and I think it's because you helped me. I don't know what to say to everyone..."

... Right. Albert built relationships and built workshops as he stood around discreetly in the Royal Palace to make a place for himself to live while protecting Mallane and Ophelia, and because he still wanted to help someone.

So I think there is something about being recognized as Albert for his accomplishments as Alfred, as he is now, and not thinking about a wedding blessed by a lot of people.

"It was Ophelia who first noticed His Highness's depth of thought. If that kid didn't say it, I don't know if I noticed either. Say hello to your daughter."

- Yes, Father-in-law.

It is Albert, who nods with a serious look at the words of the Marquis of Foblester.

Because Ophelia noticed, huh? Without it, maybe I would have been less involved with Albert, too, in another world - maybe.

I had a relationship with Albert in another world.

So there were some events tangled up in the BFO between the owner of the workshop, Alfred-Brightwell, and his identity... without Albert and Ophelia's interaction, without the back shield of the Marquis of Foblester... the establishment of the workshop could have been delayed or something.

If the flow had been different, maybe my relationship with Albert would have been different now... etc., it feels strange.

"You believed me, that's this dialogue. I was able to walk out because of you and Lord Boundary. Please, be happy."

"Sir Talcott is right. I was also able to recover thanks to Your Highness and Lord Boundary. I was able to show the royalty, the readiness of those who fought, and to look back at how knightly things were. Please be happy."

And, that's what Talcott and Chester had said and quietly returned a thank you.

"I - though in the form of getting acquainted since the workshop was built. Many times we have saved lives in Lord Boundary and His Highness's demonic props. It wasn't just me and the Knights of the Demons, it was made with their hands, and they saved a lot of people. Your Highness, that's why everyone speaks the words of blessing."

That's what Elliot says too. I open my mouth so I can keep going, too.

"I think there's a part of me that's here right now because I know Al. When I first came to Term Wills, I never imagined it would be like this, and the way I thought and thought it was important was a little different now.... I just had some empathy for Al's desire to create his own place"

Even if you don't have memories of your previous life. If Albert and I had known each other, we would have had that kind of empathy.

"That's why it seems interesting to work together... while I think so, the workshop work was actually fun and this is what was happening. Al was sure of his arm, so there's a saying that it was fun. Earlier, Al said nothing was done, but it was obvious from the finish that he was drilling as a magician."

Albert wants to be useful for the kingdom, for people. I had that sense of purpose. I guess that's why I've been brushing my arms, too.

It's possible that if I hadn't worked with Albert like that, my position would have been different now.

Not long ago I thought... if there was anywhere I could live with someone I wanted to protect, it would be good anywhere, because that's what I thought. The person who thinks that includes everyone in the workshop and a lot of people I know. So I think you have me now.

"So - keep it up, please"

"- Yeah. Thank you, Mr. Theo. Thanks, guys. Oh, don't bother. I've been like this since before the ceremony..."

That's what Albert said, his eyes were closed so that he could catch tears... but when he put a moment aside and raised his face, his expression was sunny.

"Me too, Theo - I have a lot of words to tell you. Not only me, but Mallane and my mother... Rosemary, I also solved my misunderstanding of my sister and was able to reconcile. So I... had nothing to lose, and I was able to get into the workshop. If that was helping you or anyone else, Theo, I wouldn't be so happy. So... it's my pleasure to continue."

"Oh."

After I say that - I shake hands from either side. There, the lady showed her face and told her that she wanted the groom to come in as well because the ceremony was ready. As an escort, we will go in one step at a time and attend the ceremony as queue attendants.

"Well, we'll be waiting for you one step at a time."

"Yeah. Finally"

and is Albert confirming the wedding ring in the crate at hand. Looks like you're getting the tension you had earlier. I'm sure you'll be fine with this.
