"... Wow."

Sophie and Marco. Someone muttered such a voice the moment these two booked in a hopeful event. I know the relationship between these two, but I guess it's late.

"…… Marco will have two more individual events, won't he? I and everyone else have only decided on one event yet, and give it up."

"……… Sophie"

Tio gently pulls the hem of Sophie's clothes, which she tells in a slightly unusual, slightly blurry tone.

The idea behind it is to "keep your feelings down". I know that, but Sophie exhaled deeply to calm down, too, but Marco stood up and curled faster than that.

"You're a woman. You can count on me! If you don't win, you won't score! I can't believe you didn't just grow old in your hair, you grey-haired woman!

"I said gray hair again! I told you a lot about gray hair!

Likewise, both classmates and serving teachers sighed at Sophie, who made noise and stood up and disputed.

In a tangible way, these two are not very close. Not a few boys students favor Sophie and Tio, who are young and have a beauty that can also be likened to fairies and angels, while awkward. All the adults around them are favorable to both of them.

But some of them don't think of them that well in a school with lots of kids. That's why Marco is the head of it.

"But even a woman is just in the way, but it's just in the way that Baba like you came out! Leave it to me, man, and pull me in!

"Wow, I'm not your grandmother! And Marco, you beat me in competition before!

Sophie really has a good point. Anyway, if you're a little older, you're ten years old. There, the difference between men and women in physical ability doesn't appear that easy. It's also true that Sophie's legs are actually just a little faster than Marco's.

"Oh, that just so happens! If you do it now, I will definitely win!

"That dialogue, I've heard it many times before? If you lose to Sophie, you always say that, and you're losing again, right?

"How cynical of sexism! Games aren't just for boys!

And at some point, the voice of a female student defending Sophie began to rise from there. From their point of view, Marco's statement is tyranny itself. As the same girl, I guess it's not something I can overlook.

"Ugh, uuch! The woman told you to pull in!

"That's it. That's it! We're stronger, so don't complain!

"You're not talking about being strong or anything!?

But basically speaking of child fights is unreasonable, emotional bumps. Some female students can still say it back with reason, but that's also a minority, beyond what Marco has to say. Rather, a child who has been reasoned and his emotions stroked, no matter what he says, will be convinced if this happens.

"Just calm down! Be quiet!

As the classroom becomes chaotic and the neutral students shudder and wolf, the serving teacher taps the table several times in attendance books to calm the feud.

"Sophie and the other three have only decided on one event yet. Marco, you've already set two events, so get out of here."

"So, but...!

I regained a little calm with my adult intervention, but still I'm not convinced. With Marco looking like that on his ass, Tio turns to follow Sophie.

"Sophie, calm down, too. Now is not the time to fight."

"Wow, I know..."

Basically, Sophie is an exemplary honor student. I don't have any friends of the boys, but they are still well received and have a warm personality.

Marco said a little too much even though he wouldn't say anything absurd even if he had been told so far by other students.

"... even though I have the same hair as my mom, I've been ridiculed for having gray hair ever since I met her."

"……… I know how you feel."

Inherited from my beautiful mother and praised by many, this snowy white hair is one of Sophie's whispering boasts.

I cannot keep my mouth shut if I am told this is simply and clearly and badly. Although Tio is also indifferent to care, he doesn't feel that he should be denigrated for the same hair as his mother.

Even so, Marco makes fun of this hair every time, no matter how many times he says he wants me to stop saying it badly, without punishing him. So for Sophie, you don't have to hate Marco, you're a bad friend.

"Hey, I'm not convinced! Then I'll take the place of one event, so walk a hundred meters and give it to me!

"Hey, why so unsolicited......!

To Sophie, who tried to go back even further, Marco refers to Bisilli.

"If you're still unconvinced... fight me!

A prestigious family passed down from generation to generation to the Empire, the Duke of Algrey. Once alone with envy and jealousy from the nobles, they were now surrounded by much ridicule at a night club hosted by the Ruru nobility.

"Look… now the fame of the apocalypse is something that has often made a face on this occasion."

"Your daughter, born as queen, is a stone girl... and her eldest daughter, who was banished, hated the kingdom."

"And His Highness the Queen..." Hey?

Both Jenan and Elena can only endure and gaze desperately at the sounds of anger that seem to be spoken of in such a way that they cannot hear, and in fact speak deliberately at such a volume as they can hear.

As Dukes, it is a real unconvincing reality, but objectively speaking, it is certain that there is no mistake in the surrounding language.

"Kuh......! Let me tell you something, do as you please......!

"Why should Alice or we be ridiculed like this too......!

Jenna and Elena groan hatefully and carelessly the moment they both go out on the balcony without enduring the mockery.

More than a decade after Alice was held as queen, who raised her affectionately as a proud daughter, she still can't even give her first child. This was an illness that did not favour the innate child.

The privileged class in the empire uses a complete system of hereditary assault. For a royal queen in such a country, not conceiving a child is a fatal disadvantage. It was natural to be attached by the surrounding nobles to "have eaten those whom the queen did not deserve," and both the Duke and Alice continued to be exposed to the mockery of the nobles and the anxiety of their subordinates on a daily basis.

Only Alice can still remain on the Queen's throne by Alberto's will, for example, backing the assets and status of the Duke of Algrey family. The time has passed when we would have to marry the side chamber.

"Abominable at all............! I left you at home till ten. Forget the grace and strip the Empire of his fangs and consequently disparage us even......!

But Alice's children's treasure was just bad luck yet. There is an excuse because the cause is an innate illness, and there were a few people in history who continue to reign as the righteous queen without exchanging children, so it would have been resolved if Alberto had been convinced to give birth to the daughter of a low-status nobleman who would not shake Alice's seat as the righteous queen.

Alberto, who had a blind love for Alice, was not quite convinced, and Alice herself would hate it, but was nevertheless convinced that if the throne was an important daughter, she would be convinced.

Let them give birth only to their children, and their love will remain unchanged and dedicated only to Alice. The Algreys and the nobles under their umbrellas who have drawn such muscles and are ready to make it happen.

"Shirley......! Even though I am the daughter I was born with... I can't believe they still torment us even if they drive us from the Empire...!

However, such a prospect will be overshadowed by the daughter of the abominable, who has not stepped on the land of the Empire in ten years.

Was the beginning when Shirley grabbed the information that she was having Alberto's son and living in the kingdom? Alberto, who learned of the matter, was about to take his daughter to the Empire and make her reign as the next empress.

It is also exceptionally admitted that if no boy is born to the emperor, the empress will be at the apex of the next empire. Even though Alice had banished the rightful blood of the Algrey family beyond being able to bear a child, if she had installed the Shirley child in the next empress, the Algrey family's face would have been preserved and Alice's seat as the righteous queen would not have swayed.

"Yet Shirley and the kingdom are all in the way of the Empire............!!

My bowels boil back just to remember. There was a crack in the wine glass that Elena gripped so as to show such emotion.

Sometimes, the kingdom refuses the imperial demand that Sophie and Tio should be offered that Shirley and her mothers and daughters, who were recognized as its own people, should not be allowed to take away.

Ultimately it developed into a divine match, but even Shirley herself, who empowered herself as an adventurer, instead of reaching out for salvation to Alice, who was exposed to so-called malice, she laughed and drove off to the cliff, winning out of hand.

... At least that's what Jenna and Elena think.

"Doesn't that girl think her sister's pathetic? I can't believe you're imitating me abandoning Alice..."

"Oh, not at all. Who the hell do they look like... they really don't look like our kids. It's still more convincing to think it's been replaced."

What the hell did we do to Shirley...... put them up on the shelf and say whatever we want.

But that's not all the bad luck you two and Alice have left. One of the worst events for the Imperial nobility, the series of incidents perpetrated by the former Knight Commander, Grand Wolfus, not only resulted in the removal of the Imperial Territory into the kingdom, but also left a great scar on Alice's body.

"Ah... poor Alice. I'm sure you'll be trembling and crying in bed by now......!

What it means is that Alice's value as Emperor's Lady is compromised. Although Jenna and Elena think that Alberto and Alice are connected by an immutable love, there are many who doubt the value to Alice that has literally been damaged as a reality, and it can be that Alberto will change his mind.

(For some reason, Shirley remains young, too)

Alberto's condition during the divine game when he first saw his ex-fiancé for about a decade caught on.

(What if... are you willing to humiliate His Majesty and take her husband away from Alice!? Kuh......! What a lowly daughter!

I'm not allowed to take my husband away from Alice. If she does that, Jennan, as a parent, is driven by her wrath that Alice might not be too pathetic.

"He also said that the cause of Gran Wolfus' case in the first place was Shirley's refusal to set up a sister as a sister and refused to hand over her grandson through the kingdom. She's the only daughter who's really been a plague god, even though she's been struggling with her appearance ever since she was born."

"Absolutely! Besides, this one says it's a big deal over here... and what's going to happen to the Algreys?

The Algreys are now facing an extremely serious situation. My intestines are going to boil back when I think about Shirley, who lives in the kingdom without knowing that, but if the defeat of the divine game makes the imperial act considered an invasion or crime to the kingdom, if the surrounding countries are threatened to never shut up, I can no longer beat my hands.

"If this happens…… do you no longer choose the means?"

The eyes of the Duke, hunted down and squirming with an evocative look, were so suspiciously brilliant that they were no more.
