Brilliant, royal palace.
My heart sinks when it comes to being in that beautiful sight.
So much so that this place even looks like an execution bench.
Whatever it is, it's like an enemy land.
... because here is where Lady Ellia and the Marquis Maelia are centered in our faces.
I stepped into the hall while Bern escorted me.
As soon as possible, they are exposed to many sights.
... I scolded him in my heart, laughing as I took that gaze.
"Long time no see, Master Iris."
"We're out of time, Count Sagittarius"
You're supposed to talk to someone who's a lot thicker from the very beginning... and exhale inside and talk about things that aren't obvious.
He would still be on the front line as finance minister, but he felt somewhere older than he had met before.
Is that purely after years, or is it an intense death......
In the latter case, is the reason purely because of the battle for the throne, or is there some financial impatience?
Though I get the most goosebumps on myself thinking about how to pull it out of the conversation while I'm scared and I don't want to hear it.
"How are you feeling, Lord Duke of Armenia?
"I thank you for your concern and on behalf of my father.... My father is well taken care of and cured. My mother's eyes are shining, so much so that she seems to be able to do it a lot slower and her complexion seems better than before."
"Better...... that's good"
"I was rather wondering if the Count of Sagittaria would look better. Have you been busy lately?"
"Hmm...... maybe that's true.... Actually, I thought I'd go back to my territory in a little while."
"Well......"
Though I managed not to put it on my face, it was a shock that hit my chest too hard.
Impossible, a word occupies my head.
The Count of Sagittaria is Minister of Finance. Just like my father, I was pursued by the government, and it is medium difficult to return to the territory unless it is a consolidated holiday.
At this time, when the battle for the throne has intensified and a chair removal game is occurring in the royal palace, do you want to take a consolidated rest?... Isn't it like you're telling me to chase you down?
At a previous nightclub, he declared that that was the best future the First Prince could draw.
He said that if he were driven down, with his superior status and power among the First Prince, he would know how painful it would be for the First Prince.
Or is it the work of the Marquises of Maelia that leaves us with no choice but to take time off?... I feel like that's the most likely thing.
"... Is it because my father fell?"
Did my father's fall save himself?... Words I can take that care of my ears around me, I dare ask.
Count Sagittarius would realize the sincerity that I want to hear most.
"Yes or no. I'm tired of the hustle and bustle of the city. I thought I'd go back to my territory and rest my body and build up my strength to be able to use it when I need it. I still can't let go of my dreams this year."
... It doesn't look like he left the First Prince, I guess from his words.
"Was I?... Nevertheless, if you are gone at this time, the financiers will have a headache too? You think people are starting to complain that food values have gone up in the alley?"
"You seem to be bright on the circumstances of Wang Du for a long time. Well, I guess so.... There's nothing I can do about it, because it didn't happen naturally. Yesterday's merchants are remarkable..."
"Right. I was chilled, too."
We laughed eye-to-eye.
Neither do I. Count Sagittaria's eyes are not laughing. We were asking each other for the sincerity to hide behind each other's eyes. Whether we could read each other the sincerity that was lurking in the conversation.
My eyes say things as well as my mouth.
"Now, if you'll excuse me, Noon. If you have too much power over Hua, you will be seen by the others."
That's how the Earl of Sagittaria went.
... It was a satisfying time to hear all the things I wanted to hear.
If you gaze at the venue and look around, you'll see a fuzzy figure at the edge of your sight.
... That's a mimosa.
