Drop!! ～A Tale of the Fragrance Princess～ (WN)

For one thing, when Ronnie briefed the knight who arrived on the scene lightly about the situation, it still became a flow of wanting him to tell a detailed story at the castle. If Cordelia told the knight that he was far from Count Zakharov, he would look for it and tell him by the knight, too.

Shelley woke up as well when she tried to make her way to the castle, but she was more excited to hear that she was going into the castle than she was in what situation.

So both on the move and while waiting to hear about the situation, it was even worse than it was at the circus venue.

"Wow, I can't believe you're in a real castle! I've always wanted to come! Could it be a coincidence to see the prince? I want to go out in the hallway."

The floating cordelia made me want to take a deep sigh, but I felt better. I'm glad the kidnapping didn't seem traumatic, but I would also like you to think a little more about why this happened.

Ronnie is out of his seat because he means to talk first, so it's like Cordelia and Shelley are waiting for just the two of us here, and there's one knight waiting outside the room.

"... Mr. Sherry, don't keep up cheaply with people you don't know from now on"

"I already know!

No, that's a human constant coat you don't understand. There really is no colour for reflection around sneaking up on 'even though I'm enjoying it because of it' right now.

(This kid... I wonder if the prince I admire would ask me if I didn't tell him)

I can't help but think that if my insides were the same age as Shelley's, I would have had a good chance of fighting from the first meeting.

Nevertheless, it's not heroine to push Shelly so hard on her own thoughts, it also makes me feel like Cordelia was in the game somewhere.

……

His attitude of not listening to people, his confidence in himself, and his obsession with the prince - everything seemed to overlap once he started thinking, and Cordelia waved small. Let's not think about it. There are many problems with Shelley's behavior and behavior in the first place, but if she turns out to be an aristocratic daughter, she may be educated and improved. Although it may be difficult to change the essential thinking.

"Hello, hello? Mr. Shelley, didn't they drop this?

Cordelia picked it up because a small bag had fallen at Sherry's feet.

That's about the size of a smell bag, but has it been used for a long time or is the dough a little bit too much? When Shelley saw the bag Cordelia pinched, she took it away as surprised.

"Well, thanks! This is something we shouldn't lose!

"Huh? Yeah, that 'd be great."

For the first time Shelley thanked me, Cordelia turned her eyes round.

"What is it, may I ask?

"Yeah. This is the amulet my late mother gave me. With this, he told me I could be happy."

Saying so, she lowered it from her neck, pulling the leather string she had hidden in her clothes, and lowering the bag ahead. Apparently, he has that amulet without letting go of his skin.

(... maybe)

Cordelia took a breath and stared at the bag.

"What's in there?

"I really don't want to show you... it's a small ring. You picked it up, so I'll make it look special."

Shelley was in a good mood to take it out of the bag, not the little ring...... but the earcuff. It would be a matter of care, although the surface is slightly cloudy, fine bird texts are carved.

"This is..."

"Huh? You, do you know this bird?

"Yeah.... hey, did you ever show these contents to the priests?

"I didn't show it to you. The clergyman told me not to open the amulet."

Well, then we didn't find out this far.

Cordelia exhaled slowly before looking straight at Sherry.

"This is the Clyde Raine family crest."

"... how long?

"Yeah, it belongs to the Count Clyde Raine family. I don't know how your mother had it... but maybe the Count would know."

Shelley flew up when Cordelia added an explanation to Shelley looking like she wasn't coming with a pin.

"Oh, eh!? I, the Count, only know the name of Count Zakharov!

"The Zakharovs are also bird-inspired, but they do have seabirds. That's a dove. The twigs are olive fruit, so you're probably right."

Cordelia chose the words carefully in front of Sherry, who was just making her eyes black and white. When it comes to having this ear cuff, which is exquisitely crafted and quite expensive, Shelley will still have some sort of edge with the Clyde Raine family, even if she can't even say it's a parent or child at this stage.

"I don't know why your mother gave in. But you might be able to ask how it got into your hands."

……

"... What do you want to do?

"Well, I'm curious... but this, really about that...? Is it from the Earl's house?

"Yeah. No one will make a fake with a crest on their own. What would be an act of falsification of identity"

Maybe it's a degree of feeling for Shelley that 'they were something more amazing than I thought'. But gradually the confusion must have subsided, her eyes began to shine.

"What if... if that Count could know about me, maybe more people would know about my powers! That will surely bring us closer to His Highness!

Even though she found out she was involved, Shelley still didn't seem to have thought of the possibility that Count Clyde Raine was her father.

(I hear Count Clyde Rayne isn't close to your father, but that shouldn't mean it's absolutely impossible to make contact)

If you can tell them there's a girl with an earcuff from the Clyde Raine family, then the Count Clyde should be left to judge from that.

"Mr. Shelley, can we keep this to ourselves yet? There's a step, so if it goes crazy, we might not be able to talk about it."

"Really? Then hurry up."

I'm a little dissatisfied, but I didn't do anything more than blame you for thinking that there should be nothing against me. And the disgruntled appearance quickly turned into a good mood. However, it is suspicious how long you can keep quiet given how she is.

(... you have to hurry, cousin, this)

I'd like to hope you'll keep your mouth shut, at least for tomorrow, but I'm not even sure about Cordelia any more. Let's do something about it... when I thought so, Cordelia was called into a separate room.

Two knights stood there when Cordelia was passed into the room used to hear the circumstances.

And one of them was a familiar shadow.

"Brother Ishma"

"I didn't think we'd be talking here... but Ronnie told me more or less about the story. That was a disaster."

I guess this is also considered, but Ishma was laughing in a slightly troubled way as well.

"I just have to ask if it's any different from Cordelia's mouth as well. Can you tell?"

"Yes."

Firstly, that Sherry was to head to the circus because Cordelia was invited by Count Zakharov when he visited the church. That Cordelia was also invited to come with me at that time. And what a suspicious man did when she was shopping. That Shelley has been taken in charge and taken away to an empty house. Speaking of a series of streams, Ishma and one other knight kept a record.

"Have you noticed?

"That's odd, right? I thought it was too short a circuit to try to kidnap the person you have in front of you. Sure, there was an atmosphere at first where I was trying to feed on the product, but then it was too forceful. I was wondering if anyone else would want to go after them."

"So you think Cordelia was targeted because she was her?

"No, I think it's unnatural even if she was targeted. It was only a short while ago that her outing was decided. If you insist, all you knew was Count Zakharov, who invited her. But besides her, the Count invites me, Ronnie, and then Clarissa."

"Clarissa...... I think you mean Lord Keithley"

"Yes. Anyway, I find it hard to accompany a familiar knight or Pamela magician if you want to carry out a kidnapping"

"Thank you. I'll show you."

With that said, Ishma breathed.

And small, that's pretty much the same content as Ronnie, I said.

"And this may not be directly related to the kid who was about to be stripped... how did you get to go to the circus too? I would have said no if I was too sudden, even though I was invited."

"The girl is... Mr. Shelley, but she's healthy anyway... and the Count and you were very afraid to get lost"

"... I see, you couldn't leave me alone. But thanks to that, I made an attempt. She's lucky, too."

"I hope so..."

I think I blurred the ghost thing with this, but now, what's going on?

I just want to talk to Ishma about Shelley's possessions if possible, but I want to avoid the eyes of other knights if I can. Not to mention the story of a child with the Clyde Raine family crest, which can be very delicate. That's why I told Shelley to shut up for a while too, so even Cordelia has to pay close attention.

"... yes, shall I also ask you about the detailed location of the occurrence? The map of the square... is not familiar with this. Shall we go get it?"

"Oh, then I'll go get it, so please wait with my sister"

"Excuse me, thank you"

Ishma thanked the knight, who would have decided that he should stay with his brothers and sisters, and breathed heavily as the door closed.

"Well, I've paid for it. Hard to say, right now."

"Sorry"

Apparently, Ishma's remarks were woven to the point where the other knight would pick them up. At the same time that I feel thankful for what you noticed, I also feel sorry for the extra effort I put into it, but it didn't look like I cared about Ishma.

"No, that's fine. What's happening more than that?

"I just found out that that kid... there's an earcuff with the Count Clyde Laine family crest in Mr. Shelley's possession. Can I tell you this, Count Clyde Raine?

"Something with a crest...?

"Yes. It's with your mother's shapes, but she doesn't know how it's in her own hands."

"Okay. Sure, Count Clyde Rayne is earcuffed, and it's no wonder he's making something like that... you've been given something a lot more personal."

Ishma also seemed to feel strongly about the possibility that Shelley was a person with some involvement in Count Clyde Raine.

"But then she's in quite a complicated position, too. Could the kidnapped child be the girl of rumored dreams and also be involved with Count Clyde Raine?... It would be helpful if a kidnapper caught threw up early."

……

"What does Cordelia think about the girl of her dreams, personally?

"Well, what?"

"It's just a feeling. How did you feel about the crowd?

"... Your Highness seems to be admired with all my heart. I don't know if that's young love or love as a people. However, because she is very confident, she does not seem to have any other words in her ear."

"I mean, you're a kid who does what you're told."

Cordelia laughed bitterly at Ishma, who said good job.

What a sad place to undeniably be, but it would also be pointless to take care of my brother against him.

"I'll tell you well about Count Clyde Raine. I'll report it to your father, but perhaps you'd better let me in between. Your father's a little too vigilant for the Count."

Ishma's bitter smile was so reminiscent that Elvis and Count Clyde were not close. And I guess Ishma is still better at that for a good amount of love.

"Thank you, brother"

"No, I don't mind. It may be a matter that has nothing to do with kidnapping directly, but if it has nothing to do with it, the Count will be passed by 'I don't know', and if it has something to do with it, maybe he can make a loan."

With a smile, Cordelia also smiled small at Ishma, who did not hide her true intentions.

"Well, I guess it's time to come back. Is there anything else you'd like to talk about in a hurry?

"No, so far"

"Then I guess I'll have to go home with my father."

Yes, when Ishma said it, the sound of knocking on the room sounded. Cordelia accidentally swallowed her breath at the timing of Critical Safe, but Ishma remained smiling.

(... your brother, too, that's just great)

This is the first time I've seen Ishma at work, but I still couldn't help but think that he lives in an adult world, just like Elvis and Cyrus.
