Arrive at the villa.
When he saw the splendid gatekeeper, Harmonia looked at him and said that his open mouth was not blocked.
And leak your thoughts with the bump.
"You have money somewhere..."
That would be the frank sentiment of the common people.
Well, the house of Isma is the Imperial Gate nobility, the nobility among the nobles.
It's one of the famous houses since the opening of the Empire.
Even if such a patterned nobleman possesses a miserable villa, I wonder if that is the case.
Fiona, on the other hand, seems to be impressed with purely aristocratic mansions.
"It's like a mansion coming out of a story!
And I was letting my heart bounce.
Apparently, there's going to be a mansion out there that looks similar to the novel I read the other day.
"That's a novel. It'll take about five minutes to get into the gate and get to the hall."
By the way, Isma's villa has already passed about five minutes, but we haven't reached the hall yet.
The building itself will arrive in a few moments because it is visible, but the size of the site nevertheless feels shocked.
When I arrive at the carriage yard next to the mansion, several servants show up, unable to have guests.
This carriage, ridden by Isma, the organiser and protagonist of today's party, is a top priority.
Led by Isma's butler, the inflexible servants welcomed him.
For once, their level of vigilance is high, as it is well known to servants that Isma is being targeted.
I don't think my guard will go too far, but I think it would be nice to wrap a clasp (Chain Mail) around my butler's clothes and hang a true silver (Mithrill) knife around my waist.
I guess that's how worried you are about Isma, but isn't this frightening other guests?
I thought so.
I just don't give a shit.
Because I know how it feels.
If my daughter were to be placed in the same position, I would hire hundreds of escorts on the property to arm everyone with genuine silver (misrils). No, I might even spare a weapon made of genuine gold (Orihalcon).
With that in mind, Isma's butler guided me to the understatement.
That's where I hear the stunning facts.
A modest room in a villa in Isma.
Luxurious conditioning items are placed and luxurious furnishings are arranged.
Those luxury items would have healed our long journey, but the butler has presented problems before sitting on a luxurious couch.
It's also oversized.
It's a problem that I didn't even predict.
Deacon finally said this, and I'm sorry.
"Dear Kite, I'm sorry. It's a night club today, and Lilina, one of the stars, is unable to attend."
The butler said so with his head slapped.
"There will be no such thing in this earthen pit."
Or I may have given you that look, but I didn't say anything critical.
This plan depends on Isma's life and the fate of the Granitz family.
This butler will know better than I do.
Besides, a girl named Lilina should have agreed.
The other day, when I revealed this plan to Lilina, she agreed that she would be happy with the plan.
With a determined eye, he said:
"Isma is my fiancée. It is my duty to protect him. No, it's a right."
and -.
I don't think such a girl would flirt or refresh her promise in the earthen.
There must be something wrong.
So I asked the butler, but the answer the butler gave me, in a way, made me weak.
"- Master Lilina is currently experiencing high fever. It's a mumpy cold."
"You have a mumpy cold..."
What a ill name not dressed well on top of bad timing.
But where I mourned, it's not like she'll recover instantly.
Being a wise man would most likely stand up to the disease, but what was needed to cure the disease in this hand was time and nourishment.
It must be slowly cured and cured.
The name of the disease is funny, but many children die of mumps colds.
I told the butler,
"Tell Miss Lilina to cure it"
And I told him.
Then tell them to send a special secret medicine later.
Deacon bowed his head deeply,
"Thank you for your consideration"
I said.
When he finishes hearing the words, the silent maid Chloe opens her mouth.
"Dear Sir, what shall we do? We succeeded until we lured Baron Cornell out, but we can't throw a party without one of the key protagonists"
The problems Chloe presented were concise, but serious.
I blur with my head on.
"Of the coronations, the only thing you can't do alone is get married."
"Funerals and birthday celebrations, the festival can be managed by itself. But you can't get married alone. Without someone."
"Defer -, Do"
I try to leak it with a bump, but I shake it first.
"No, we can't miss this opportunity. I don't know when I can invite Baron Cornell next. And the longer he stays free, the more dangerous Isma will be. That's not a good thing."
"Then why don't you set up a surrogate?
And it was my maid Chloe who spoke.
Including the butler, the same gaze gathers at her.
It was a proposal, and it was a name proposal.
However, the operation was first floating behind my head, but it was an immediate dismissal.
The reason for rejection is simple, because what serves as a surrogate can be put at risk.
I shake my head to the side.
"I can't do that. Isma is the one whose life is being targeted, but Miss Lilina is not safe either. As Baron Cornell, it would be more convenient for you both to be gone at the same time."
If you do, the person with the right of inheritance will be swept away, and it is the thought of Baron Cornell.
When I was having difficulty, Harmonia, who didn't see it, raised her hand modestly.
I gently raised my small hand and suggested this.
"Do you think it would be better if I set up a surrogate, too?
It was a small voice, but everyone heard the words.
Because it was a good idea.
But I still deny it.
"No."
and.
Chloe disproves when she hears the words.
"Why, Master Tsuruji? I think it's a good idea for Chloe."
Harmonia nods too.
"If there is no surrogate girl, I will take the role. It's to protect my dear best friend. Some danger is irreversible"
And, I hope you consolidate your resolve, but that's also troubling.
"Why? Dr. Kite guarantees the safety of Isma and Lilina, right? Then it is also safe to substitute. I don't think I'm that lost."
…………
Still, as I kept saying, something appeared to represent my heart.
It is an Isma boy.
He also said in an understated tone.
"... I guess, but the teacher is worried about the kid who will take his place. If you're going to take my place in this, it's probably because I'm the teacher's most important person."
And he pointed to the portrait behind me.
What was depicted there was a poor girl.
She's a girl with blonde hair and an adorable smile.
That's where Harmonia and Fiona look.
Fiona didn't seem to notice anything when she saw the portrait.
But Harmonia noticed instantly.
Pokan, opens his mouth and leaks the word "ah......"
"What? What? What's the matter with you? Nia?"
and Fiona, who speaks Harmonia's nickname.
Apparently my daughter doesn't notice staring at the portrait.
To be similar to the girl in that portrait.
By the way, the portrait model was Isma's fiancée, Lilina.
"Well, if you're going to take Lilina's place in this, there's nothing else in Fiona."
And, Isma's butler uttered the conclusion.
I dared keep my mouth shut because I didn't want to come to that conclusion, but Harmonia and Chloe seem to have noticed.
And my daughter is a kind, righteous girl.
There's no way I'm not taking on a surrogate when I hear that.
On the contrary, I have actively offered to take my place.
"Father, leave it to me! I'll take Lilina's place."
And declared.
I didn't want to hear that word, but I can't ignore what I heard.
Now, I couldn't change my plans, and I don't want "just my daughter" involved under this circumstance. I couldn't.
atmospherically of the venue, but also as Fiona's father.
"I have no choice. Do we have to do this?"
Originally, it was the original plan to ensure the safety of Isma and her fiancée Lilina.
If things go according to plan, my daughter's safety will be guaranteed.
I just had to think so.
"... I can't help it. Chloe, we're going to turn Fiona into Miss Lilina. If you use the magic of Change, you'll be suspicious, so try to mislead me with makeup and hair."
Chloe hears the words,
"Yes, sir."
And I smiled.
Fiona, on the other hand, is happy.
Fiona is still a child. I had never used makeup or anything like that.
They're happy to be able to do makeup even on these occasions.
You're a girl around here.
Seeing her delightful daughter, she thought once again of her daughter's gender.
