Fake Cinderella

23. Tea Party

The Royal Palace of Dardinia is also known as the White Moon Palace. And although the scale is expanding, we have made this palace a royal palace since its founding.

Two moons in heaven take their name from saying that one is a white moon, and one is an ethereal moon, and the royal palace in the king's capital is the White Moon Palace, and the outlying palace in the eastern royal direct jurisdiction of Al Adeld is called the Ethereal Moon Palace.

Both are due to the design of a wandering genius architect called Arsey-Nay.

It is said that the architecture designed by Arsey hides mysteries that are not even known to the architect, but most of them are sealed as ruins.

Dardinia is the only place in the royal palace where he designs the building, even though it's continental, and they say there are university scholars studying the building somewhere in the royal palace.

"Wow, I can't believe this is a building from 600 years ago"

"Really? They say the underground part is older. … because it is built on the ruins before the Unified Empire"

"... before the Unified Empire... er, at least 1400 + years ago at about 600 +800... it doesn't collapse even though it's that old?

I calculate in my head all the time. I'm pretty good at history. There were plenty of books in the study, and they were studying quite a bit, so I often remember a lot.

"It doesn't seem to collapse. Well, the basement is off-limits."

"Oh, really?

"The first layer is normally used, but no more is forbidden. They say it's a labyrinth."

"Labyrinth..."

Something sounds exciting.

It's like a maze everywhere to me as a stray habitual criminal, so I'm not going to step in alone though.

'Cause when I think about the size of the royal palace... I think it's going to be life-threatening.

"Once upon a time, Master Zion got lost and made a fuss... please be careful, Your Highness"

"I'm fine. I don't have business going there... because if I'm going, Your Highness will take me there"

"Thank you for that."

Lilia giggles.

I blame myself for feeling something raw and warm about that laugh.

"The Orthodox Palace and the Back Palace are the architecture of Arsey-Nay, right?

"Yes, there are a lot of technologies in the main palace that I don't know what's going on now. The fountain in the queen's garden is one of them. Take a good look."

"Heh..."

Only this part of Arsey-Nay's architecture we call the main palace.

The Orthodox Palace is a public space as a national political authority. Officials and military men, commonly referred to as literary martial artists, are doing their jobs. It also comes with a large hall where various events, ceremonies, etc. organized by the Royal Family are held, as well as a dormitory for national guests.

Conversely, the rear palace serves as a private residence space for the royal family. This one includes His Majesty's private study and bedroom, as well as the Queen's and other rooms for women and young children.... I am currently the youngest child in the Dardinian royal family, so the children's room is not used.

The East Palace, opposite the West Palace and the main palace where we live, will be quite the architecture of future generations. Especially since the Royal Princess Palace is a building built for me, I can see the difference in architectural style at a glance compared to others.

The East Palace houses the King's Womb and Princess's Palace, and her current master is the twin children of the Second Queen. His Royal Highness Alfrate, the second prince, also has a palace here, but His Highness is often present in the quarters or official residence of the Central Division.

The princess, who has a high right to inherit the throne in Dardinia, will not descend to the throne until her own brother… or sister takes office, so when the rite of passage has been completed, the children other than the prince are to move from the rear to the east palace. Today's tea party is supposed to be attended by Princess Nadia, who currently lives in the East Palace.

"Lilia, why are you warm in the hallway?

"That's one of Alsey's teases. It's a little unknown, but they say there's a hot spring in the basement, sucking it up and spinning all over the royal palace."

(A hot spring in the basement, there's a volcano somewhere. Heh. Well, 600 years is okay, I guess it's a dormant volcano)

The central heating that sucked up the underground hot springs is amazing.

At the same time, I feel something strange.

Of course, it won't be the same as central heating I know, but you don't think it makes much difference how it works or how it works.

I don't know when such a thing could have been done in modern Japan, but compared to other technical levels in Dardinia, the system of central heating seems to be a particularly advanced technology.... and 600 years ago, huh?

If you have central heating, I don't think it's weird to have something else. Oil stoves, cars, railroads... Personally, it's not an ice box. You mean a fridge?

(Is there no oil this way?... No, then what is that liquid in the lighting lamp or the latest stove?

It certainly didn't smell common in the petroleum system. That... isn't alcohol in alcohol lamps an oil ingredient?

Uh, physics, chemistry... I have no idea. Because it was literary. If this were to happen, I should have studied some more properly.

Dardinian technology… Therefore, the lack of knowledge in such fields is the primary reason why we are still struggling with this world's technology level.

For example, I don't think it would be very convenient to have a lighter or something, but I don't know how it works, so I can't make tools like that apart from being good or bad.

I had a lot of difficulty explaining this when I was in the furnace.

"I didn't know.... Why doesn't my palace have that kind of convenience? My bath isn't a hot spring, is it?

Because my palace is cold without a fireplace or stove, and the bathroom next to my bedroom is equipped with a cute tub of cat feet, and every day, everyone carries me hard to figure out hot water. I think that's a lot of work.

"It's not like I don't know how it works. Scholars are said to have figured it out pretty much. But now, when it comes to reproducing it, it's going to take more than a decade and a lot of money.... Still, Her Highness's palace is still fine. The water is coming inside."

"He said he was coming inside?

"There's a pump in the kitchen and laundry room that draws water, and there's a washroom... so the toilet is up to date."

A washroom is a room that draws water. There is no water supply, but the water can be drawn when it is giddy with a hand pressed pump.

By storing water in the reservoir along the wall, the toilet can function the same as the one over there. The potty is ceramic, and every time I see this is the toilet... it's decorated with sighs.

Elzevelt's castle, which normally looked like a waist-mounted potty, had no cistern and was to be flushed straight into the water running underground. When it doesn't flow well, it starts to draw water from the prepared water jar and flush it. I heard that the destination of the drainage is the farm.

If Milady asks, the royal palace is with us, and that kind of sewage in the royal palace leads to the treatment plant behind your farm.

There are still several such treatment plants in the entire Wang capital, and the area is bound to be a large farm. Looks like it's recycling well.

"Hmmm.... hey, I could do it 600 years ago, why is it so hard now? Or did you spend more time and money than that 600 years ago?

"No. With Nay's lost technology, it would seem easy..."

"Lost technology..."

Lost technology sounds like something romantic. Um... Something reminds me of my childhood when I was excited to hear about Atlantis and ancient civilizations. Don't you feel that way? The Seven Wonders of the World... with the Au Parts?

That's all I went to the school library to feature. I was thrilled to read it with suspicious magazines in it. That, the next issue of the Atlantis feature could be a fearsome mountain and octopus feature, and now I think it was a tremendously outrageous magazine.

"What do you do in summer? Isn't it hot when you're spinning hot springs?

"We switch to water in the summer. So on the contrary, it's cool."

"I envy that.... Hey Lilia, not very familiar?

Lilia knows everything, but you're a little too familiar with it, aren't you?

Then Lilia said with a slightly bewildered look.

"Because the main palace is Nai's architecture, and because there are research teams, the library of the Royal Palace has a wealth of materials."

"... that's all?

I didn't go into anything. I just didn't think that would make me so familiar.

Lilia said with a bitter smile in confusion.

"... on behalf of Theon, there are reports about Nai's architecture."

"What, didn't the Archbishop go to seminary?

"... a sobbing letter arrived at my parents' house with the materials..."

I stumbled upon it by accident.

Lilia is also vulnerable to Archbishop Gittis.

I wrote it down for you according to the materials sent to me.

"Hey, I'd love to see Archbishop Gittis. I want to hear a lot about you."

I want to hear Lilia's little story or something.

"If you get a chance...... Lord Zion would like to see Her Highness, too. It's a treat."

"Well, next time, I'll invite you to tea.... to His Royal Highness Prince Wang."

"Right. At that time, Master Alfrate would be better off with you."

"And His Royal Highness the Second Prince? Why?"

"... because only Master Zion will run wild"

"Runaway?"

"It's your child."

Lilia chuckled.

... I was a little scared right now. So I decide not to go into details about that.

Your son told me not to come near you.

It was a room full of fragrances of flowers.

The bright sunny interior is flooded with flowers as if it were a greenhouse.

"Tieh, you've come a long way"

A smiling woman more beautiful than those flowers that cover the room...... Her Royal Highness the First Queen Euria.

I very much don't think this is the mother of His Royal Highness the King, who turns 27.

If you are bad, it makes sense to say that you are a couple alongside His Royal Highness Prince Wang. When I said that in the meantime, His Highness froze in silence.

He really didn't like it, and he was sworn not to say it again because he was completely smiled at by the glimpse of an example but seemingly very much behind it.

Your Highness probably doesn't like your parents very much. It's a delicate matter, so I'd avoid saying it clearly.

(Am I 48? Am I 49?

He was a beauty man with no bankruptcy nearby.

It is not uncommon for a royal family or a grand aristocrat to have an assortment of beauty shapes. Because you often wife women of beauty and reputation, so you're going to be layering more and more beauty genes.

But Her Majesty the Queen is not only beautiful in her face... but her gaze attracts her like she's always in the spotlight. I wonder if there's an aura out there, like this.

I think my face looks just like my mother, who was known for her beauty, and she's so cute, but you don't think anything of it when you look at her every day.... it's my face.

The same goes for His Highness's face. I think His Highness is an amazing beauty, but I'm getting so unconscious because I'm getting used to seeing him. Prince Aura, I look at you unexpectedly, but I'm not very thrilled. Getting used to it is amazing, isn't it?

"Thank you for inviting me"

Grab the skirt gently and thank me.

Today, you look like a gown in an outfit. White lace is a luxurious choice based on dark blue velvet. Julia and Alice forced me to argue that the point is that I use subtle His Royal Highness Prince Wang's forbidden colors on the ribbon of my twin-tailed hair.

"Take this."

Hand a bouquet of handmade white orchids to Her Royal Highness's lady. The woman looked back at Seriously and me.

Bringing some souvenirs to the tea party is an implicit understanding.

This white orchid with the alias "Smile of the Queen" is very beautiful with its scent not so tight. I wonder if it would be close if you could think of it as a small, bright white Cattleya.

It's a strange flower that can also be used to detect certain poisons. Toxin... I mean, they say the petal color turns purple when they react to biological poison.

This was delivered to His Royal Highness the Prince Wang to take and he brought it as it came.

I was going to bake sweets on schedule. But your Highness and Lilia opposed me.

Anyway, food can cause problems. If it's poisoned, it can get worse if it's not.

There is no reason to disagree with the two advices. Plus, a mass abdominal pain incident just happened three days ago in the Orthodox dining room. I don't think the ingredients are rotten because it's cold......

(... actually)

I really thought that the two of you, Your Highness and Lilia, would say that to me because you think it's likely that something will be done.

Lilia is very nervous about giving her sweets to someone.

I don't have a problem eating inside the West Palace, and I don't have a problem giving it directly to someone I can trust, but I don't know what will happen if I go through someone else's hand along the way.

As nervous as it sounds a bit, I fully accept that, wondering if Lilia has a reason to think about it. Because I have no knowledge of that hand at all.

"Come on, tough greetings are good enough. Welcome."

Her Royal Highness gently pushes her back. I snorted.

Inside, His Royal Highness Arjena, the Second Queen, and Princess Nadia were already here.

(Weren't you supposed to come with the two ladies or something?

"Thank you for waiting"

I greet you both softly.

That alone, His Royal Highness Arjena and Princess Nadia watched.

its stunningly visionary.

... What the hell, you looked at it a lot until a while ago.

(... only a puppet princess knows. We need to be careful not to talk too much)

The people in the West Palace are totally used to it, but not the others.

Besides, I had a meeting with Lilia that I wouldn't show you much of a change to keep you alert.... I've forgotten so far.

"You're all here, just in time"

"It's freshly baked."

Lady Ariana and Lady Naesia bring the wagon.

Apparently, you two will also serve.

"Sometimes I just want to talk to you on the inside without a woman."

Her Royal Highness Queen Euria winks charmingly.

A flutter and a grin leaked between us.

If this isn't the one who's always laughing...... if you've ever seen another look...... I might have been fascinated by this one.

Her Royal Highness, Lady Euria, is a very attractive person if you treat her normally.

A soft grin, a gentle waist, and then, a narrative that does not distract people... the depth of thought that everyone in the ministers looks at... Isn't the beauty of this one gained more on its own than it did on its own?

Her Royal Highness Lady Argenta is more beautiful, if you say so with her face itself. But it is Her Royal Highness, Lady Euria, who cannot keep her eyes open. Even I, who think I'm a little scared, fall in love with Her Majesty the Queen.

"Thie, in Elsevelt, I hear you felt a great deal scared."

"No......"

"I heard Princess Altirier has no memory..."

Lady Naesia turns a worried eye.

Black black hair on pitch black eyes...... skin is also slightly shallow black. Lady Naesia has a mix of southern blood. The people of the South have many excellent physical abilities and women are extremely fleshy...... I mean, they have great style.

"Yes."

I'm sorry, and I bow my head.

"Oh, that's not true. Because if you forget, it doesn't change that I'm your mother."

Gentle Mother of Mercy grin. It is a laugh that is described to the people as being like a mother goddess...

"Thank you"

I think the reason I remember the scratch is because I have had the experience of seeing and spending a lot of time with a lot of women in a workplace with a lot of women.

You feel uncomfortable.

(Probably...)

Her Royal Highness Lady Euria is, in short, an 'actress'. The truth is that it's a little different from what you're playing, but that's the thing to put it plainly. I think every woman is somewhat willing to do that.

A woman who is aware that she is cute or beautiful knows how to show herself. I know how to be the cutest, or the prettiest... person to lean on me.

In the case of Her Royal Highness Lady Euria, a special version of it. You can call it top class.

I know exactly how to make myself look and how to get the other person's heart.

No matter how many concubines His Majesty the King has, it doesn't change that this is the first person. It is said that His Majesty the King loves this one.

She said the only person who threatened this person's position was Liliana, my grandmother's spouse, who had been locked up for life in the Tilasa incident when she died.

"I did a pathetic thing to El Lucia."

Dokin and heartbeat jumped.

I saw Her Royal Highness.

"El Lucia was indeed the Mary's relative at Her Royal Highness the Lady of Euria, wasn't she?

Lady Nascia leans her head gently.

"Yes, the daughter of a house that has been producing martial arts officers for generations... her father is an escort with Prince Wang, and I definitely thought he could handle the sword as an escort for Thie."

(Is that it?... Something wrong?

I was surprised that His Royal Highness Euria would call his own son the "Crown Prince," but that's not all.

I had heard that El Lucia was the daughter of a martial officer with His Royal Highness Prince Wang. So, although I simply thought that El Lucia was an introduction by Her Royal Highness, it can be taken to mean that Her Royal Highness's intentions were at work in the mouth now.

"Your Highness, Lady Euria, sees Princess Altirier as her real daughter."

"Of course it is. Arienol didn't miss me very much, so in a way, more than my real daughter.... because His Majesty has also guided this child much more than his own princess..."

(... because that's not what I'm saying in front of Princess Nadia)

The princess looks down on me.

But that's not what I say I don't remember... but I don't feel like I was nostalgic for Her Highness Lady Euria.

"Thie, you haven't eaten much. … Ariana made it these days because I heard you like sweets."

Enjoy a lot, and Her Royal Highness Lady Euria will split the scones into plates.

Tea, the sweetness so called makes my spine creep.

In reason, I think Her Highness Queen Euria is a wonderful person, but I can't fully believe that reason because of goosebumps when Her Highness calls me "tee".

Physiological fright… sifts the forgotten memories in me.

"Thank you"

"Princess Altirier has been making sweets lately," she said.

Plump rosy cheeks...... Lady Ariana said she just turned forty the other day but looks younger. I guess you care about beauty, these people.

"Yes."

"Please let me know next time. I heard the princess's treats are different."

"Yes, if you say Your Highness would be nice"

(If you can't, Your Highness will say no... yeah)

"Speaking of which, Princess Nadia, it's time to think about getting engaged."

I'm relieved that the topic has moved from me to Princess Nadia.

On the contrary, Princess Nadia shook her body openly. I'm sure you don't like this topic. I know how you feel.

I'm not at all happy to be made into this kind of tea party seat crap about myself, that's also about marriage and such delicate topics.

"Yes.... Your Majesty has examined the candidate at once."

"You were already married to Alhan, weren't you?

Alhan is the home of Her Royal Highness Lady Arjena.

It would be considered exactly as the daughter-in-law of Princess Nadia who hits that blood.

"Yes. Luckily last year, I was blessed with a boy..."

"Well, the South House is cheap...... so what's Nadia's candidate for marriage?

Princess Nadia, who is supposed to be at the center of the topic, has a cozy, tight laugh.

Well, yeah. Seriously, what I think is an extra favor.

"In Japan, Mr. Gallia, the son of Lord Nishi... but Mr. Gallia will still be twelve years old. This kid said he didn't want to be younger..."

"But it's not very good for Her Royal Highness to marry you outside the Four Dukes' house... you'll be pathetic, won't you?

"Yeah, there's an example of Princess Deanna."

I don't know how many generations ago the king's daughter was, but there was a princess named Princess Deanna.

She fell in love with the poor Count, who was tutoring her brother, and, as a result of the extra bend, she said that it was nice to be able to marry her first lover, but because she was married to a house that was too poor to even have a carriage for herself and she lived a life without going out.

Cook your own food, sew your own dress... Anyway, the princess said she had a great hard time. They often take it as an example that marriage in a different capacity is not a good idea.

But it doesn't tell me if the princess was really unhappy.

I wonder if anyone, even though they don't know the end of it, is made to feel sorry for them.

Even though you can only tell if you were happy or unhappy in person.

"After all, if your personality is too different, there are a lot of problems"

"But the East House..."

My gaze concentrates on me.

Yes, I know. I am the provisional heir. So I also know that you are treated as a treasure item.

"Unfortunately, the son of Lord Dong has no inheritance. We are not allowed to divide... well, even if we do, the Viscount is a good place at best to get you a title... and you don't deserve to be the daughter-in-law of a royal princess."

"So, how about His Royal Highness Schnack? You are a little old away, but there are examples of His Royal Highness Prince Wang and Princess Altirier..."

Puffy, and I thought I heard a thread of patience cut in Princess Nadia sitting next to me.

"I'm so sorry for all the faggots I've always made beautiful boys samurai!! Finally, because I'm sorry 40 guys even ask my mom to pick drinks!!

Princess Nadia stands back and declares face-to-face.

His Royal Highness Schnack is your brother, isn't he?... I'm a pretty boy hobbyist... heh.

Who is the Mazacon 40 man? I wonder if that's about His Highness Schnack, too.

"How about a replacement, Princess Nadia?

"Ah... yes"

The air frozen for a moment flutters with that word of Her Royal Highness Lady Euria. Her Royal Highness Lady Euria gently put her hand on its shoulder and seated Princess Nadia.

Scented tea is poured into the princess's cup. And then in my cup, too.

A bit of mouth makes it quite dark and sinister, unlike the saggiah tea your Highness gave you. Hard on my taste right now without milk. I don't have any sugar because the sweets are sweet, but I poured the milk by the way.

"Nadia, the words are too much, I don't know"

………………………

Mother, Princess Nadia turns to your words. A plump look...... bright green eyes are very mouthless.

(... you're the type who can never do abdominal arts or anything)

Though a half-brother, it's an emotional honesty that doesn't seem like that sister-in-law of yours.

(Your Highness, you're very good at that...)

"I'm sorry, I'm an aunt, so I just stuck around and took care of her."

Lady Ariana laughs at Princess Nadia fluttering

Yet, instead of saying so, Lady Naesia asks.

"Are you talking to me from outside the country?

"Yeah...... but it's just a story. Your Majesty also said so. He said he wouldn't bother to marry exotic people and struggle."

"That's right."

"But if you live there, that's the capital. If someone loves you, it's not..."

"Her Royal Highness Lady Euria."

Her Royal Highness Lady Euria's homeland is a small principality called Darhar. Now there is no more country called Darhal. The land is now under the control of the Empire.

"That said, the Dardinian royal family does not adopt marital policy."

"I have no choice. Because that's Dardinia."

Her Royal Highness the Queen of Arjena, born and second queen of the house of the Duke of Alhan, said proudly.

Born in the House of the Four Dukes, which succeeds to the royal family, she would not have been able to capture precisely the nuances lurking in that word of Her Highness the Lady of Euria. No, no one else who was on this scene knows.

Because they were born in Dardinia, grew up in Dardinia, and are the daughters of a famous Dardinian family that only Dardinia knows.

But to me, I just figured it out.

I was also Gentile, as was His Highness Euria.

Because a part of my mind was raised in Japan in the 21st century.

(Why does Dardinia not adopt marital policy…)

I wonder if there are any uncultivated decisions about that.

Dardinia doesn't like to put royal blood outside, even though it's not clandestine or pureblood. The same goes for the Four Dukes, which supposedly quasi royal.

In the Dardinian royal family, even if it may be taken from another country as a daughter-in-law or son-in-law, the reverse is seldom the case.

It is certain that 'blood' is also quite sacred among the nobles. If you look at the lack of inheritance rights for commoners and their strict inheritance provisions, you can tell.... That's what's bothering me.

"Has Master Nadia made up her mind yet?

Her Royal Highness Lady Euria asks.

"I... nothing..."

"Your Majesty tells me that if you can't choose among the candidates by your eighteenth birthday, your Majesty will decide."

(For once, I have a choice... heh...)

I thought you'd be ordered without question.

"Your Highness, for your information, how was Arienol's time? Did Mr. Arienol make his own decision?

"That kid made his own decision.... that's who she is."

"You are as wise as Her Royal Highness Lady Euria."

Her Royal Highness the Lady of Argenta sighs that she cannot make any decisions on her own.

Princess Nadia is biting her lips and rinsing her cup of tea all the time.... I worry that if I put too much effort into it, I'll crack it.

(Even if they tell me to decide who to marry at eighteen or there...)

I can't say anything about myself as a single person until I was 33.

... I don't know if they're paying for that bump, but I've been a wife since I was seven months old.

I glanced at him, trying to put my mouth on the warmer milkty.

A faint odor, though hard to tell by the backward scent of flowers... this, milk, rotten?

"What do we do? Thie."

"No."

Let's stop drinking. I'd be in trouble if I broke my stomach.

"Oh, is that enough?

"Yes."

"Don't say that, I'll have some more"

I shake my head quietly to the side.

At times like this, it's convenient to be a puppet princess. Either way, if you don't have to explain it, you don't have to care if they made you feel bad.

"Yeah? Too bad."

Her Royal Highness Lady Euria smiles gracefully.

The way you look at it would mean that Her Highness is harassing me, but it was Lady Naesia and Lady Ariana who prepared the tea, so I have no idea who did it.

(Others have trouble drinking...)

I was wondering what to do, but I heard a slightly ear-touching sound.

"... come on now! You should know who I married. Your father told me to choose!

Princess Nadia rises ramblingly and slaps the table.

Apparently, her marriage story was still going on while I was thinking a little bit.

"It's an extra favor. And your moms! And you guys!

Having a seizure, Princess Nadia pulls the tablecloth in front of her as much as she wants.

"Ah."

"Nadia."

As soon as I got there, I couldn't even see the misery on the table.

(Ah, yabba...)

Spilled tea stains the hem of the gown.

Hustled to hem with a handkerchief.

It's not good, it's a new gown, so if I dirty it, I'm sure Julia and Alice will mourn who are burning their passion for the costume.

I saw how I looked at that on the edge of my eyes, the color of regret floating in Princess Nadia's eyes.

"... come on"

I was forced to take my hand.

"Nadia."

"Shut up. Mom, don't worry about me at the Golden Wheel."

"Huh? Ah..."

He held his hand hard and was taken out forcefully. I left Her Majesty's quarters so that I could be dragged halfway, without finding a shaky gap.

(Uh... where are you going...)

When I bit my lips and saw how that was coming to mind as I walked all the way through, I wondered if I could hang out with you for a second.

... Sometimes it was like it was half strained and I couldn't get away with it.

I know what it's like to hate it when it comes to getting done.

The atmosphere is graceful, but, well, it's like a variant of an extra caring aunt's wellside meeting.

Princess Nadia walks all the way through things like angry minds.

Um... I wonder if you know where I'm walking. I have no idea anymore.

"… Your Highness"

I heard a voice. A voice I could hear.

"... Lilia"

I stop. Princess Nadia also stopped trying to relax.

Lilia gracefully bows down to Princess Nadia so she doesn't know what to do.

"Is the tea party over yet?

"……………………… Yes"

I don't feel like going back.

Seeing that silence until I nodded and Princess Nadia, who seemed to cry somewhat, Lilia seemed to have guessed something. I didn't care any more.

"What about Lilia?

"I'm going under my brother in the Orthodox Palace for a moment...... If it's over, let's go back to the palace. It would be dangerous to walk without an escort."

Kokuri and I nod.

"How about Master Nadia, too?

"... Huh?

A princess gives a face with the look she gave me on the way somewhere.

"You're welcome, aren't you? Your Highness."

"Yes."

I thought it would be pathetic if I left something alone.

I can't tell you if I'll be on your side for anything, but I can make you stay distracted enough.

"... okay?

"I will offer my use to the East Palace and Her Royal Highness the Queen, and with the permission of His Royal Highness the King."

His Royal Highness Prince Wang... Princess Nadia trembles at the words of

"After all, I..."

What have you done to frighten such a pretty princess? Your Highness.

"It's okay."

His Royal Highness is not a man who doesn't understand the story if he speaks properly.

... You may think I'm scared before I talk to you.

"Shall we go back then?"

"Yes."

Led by Lilia, now I'm the one who snatched Princess Nadia's hand.

"... sorry"

With a tiny little voice, Princess Nadia utters words of apology.

"... I'm fine"

Instead of responding, I could not rely on my hand, which was gripped back.
