Waiting for the arrival of Prince Rutvias, who was said to be after noon, the Knights line up at the border.

The Adelines and their nobles rested a little further from it, each under a great umbrella at sunset.

The sun is slightly stronger, but with the wind coming out, it's easy to spend.

You're a little behind.

Next to Adeline, my father's prime minister muttered small as he checked his pocket watch. Adeline looked up to her father.

"Father, why don't you sit down? I just got around noon. After lunch is a guide, isn't it?

"That's right..."

The Chancellor has put his pocket watch inside his long coat, but will soon get it out again to check the time. I walked around Adeline softly and was really restless. The Knights' flag is freshly buzzing. Adeline gently restrained her hand so that the flower hat would not be flown.

-... I wonder if the wind will call the storm like this.

That would surely delay the Prince's arrival. I can't help but be depressed to meet the prince while I realize I'm having a bad time with him.

There were many nobles hissing around Adeline like that.

The young woman stands out probably because many nobles accompanied her daughter in anticipation of her coming into the eyes of Prince Rutvias. Many of the famous nobles raise their own daughters to the side chambers of Prince Rutvias and their ambitions to polish the jewels. It is the idea of the great nobles that when Adeline is married, she will not be satisfied with Prince Rutvias. Even for Adeline, I think the idea is utter. Prince Rutvias will surely receive a beautiful side room soon. I have no right to say that to Adeline anyway.

At that time, there was a strong crosswind and a small scream everywhere.

"The flower hat..."

By the time Adeline realized, the flower hat Millet had sewn herbs for me was rising heavenly high. In addition to Adeline, there are also a few people who have their belongings skipped or where the large sunset umbrella has fallen and is in a panic.

Adeline's flower hat falls with an arc over its large umbrella falling. Adaline stood up from the chair as she followed the whereabouts with her eyes.

The Chancellor looks back on his daughter.

"Adeline?"

"I'll get the flower hat"

"Let someone go."

"It's okay, it's right there."

Regardless of the prime minister trying to call the squire, Adeline chased after the flower hat.

How far was the flower hat flown?

As I gave in and looked for him a little, I heard Couscous and a small laugh.

"Hey, it's Master Adeline. I wonder what you're doing crawling around."

"Welcome His Royal Highness the Prince, but you're still dressed like a princess."

"Even a samurai would wear a decent dress."

Looking back, a few courtiers, dressed in vibrant dress with fashionable vertical stripes, had solidified a little further away.

Even with Adeline and her eyes, they are all famous housemaids, gorgeous and beautiful, laughing wildly without even having a bad bare gesture. I'm sure it would be daughters like them who would be elected to the prince's side room.

They were Adaline's close 'friends'.

But after the engagement dissolution disturbance, he openly began to scorn Adeline. And these days, it makes it a dignified source of laughter.

It was Adaline who was initially confused by the sudden change in their attitude, but eventually realized it. Pretending to be friends and laughing, that they were looking down on Adeline on the inside and making fun of her. They only approached Adeline for their own prosperity or for their own good fortune. And even if the future queen seemed to be about to be abandoned by her husband's prince, she decided what she would gain from disguising herself as a friend, and turned away from Adeline.

They didn't feel friendship with Adeline and stay close to each other gently. What a fool of myself not to realize that, to believe them to be friends, and to be hurt by them leaving...

"Look. Looks like they skipped a flower hat. Embarrassing."

"That hairstyle. It's like a country girl."

When Adaline lay down her face, she fled the mockery prematurely.

If you are a famous lady, the flower hat is heavy and can't be caught in the wind, as you sew gemstones and edge them with gold. Flying a flower hat into the wind also means that the flower hat is light, which means that it has no financial resources to decorate the flower hat, which is an embarrassment to women in that sense as well. Of course, the Marcelio family has sufficient financial resources. The problem is with Adeline.

Adeline breathes relief after she leaves so far away that she doesn't smell sweet perfume.

And I looked down at myself.

"Even a samurai would wear a decent dress."

Indeed, flax colored dresses go through the plain and no longer smell like old people. There is no flower hat, embroidery or decoration tailored with the same fabric as the dress, and it lacks so much glamour that it can no longer be called a 'flower hat'.

-... country girl, huh?

It could be rude to my country daughter, too.

-... but I'm fine with this.

As Adeline leaned down, her chestnut hair wobbled just knitted and drooped in one behind her head.

Millet wants to decorate it because it has beautiful hair, but Adeline will never allow it. When a woman marries, she puts a draped cloth on her flower hat and ties her hair up in the flower hat. For this reason, it was only the privilege of unmarried young daughters to enjoy the hairstyles, and other housemaids were more powerful in the hairstyles than in dresses and flower hats. Braid or use scented oil to corrugate hair and scatter pearls and flowers.

Adeline, too, had done so before. Adeline liked the glossy chestnut hair the best and only thing about her appearance. But since I heard him whisper, "It's a treasure rot," beautiful hair for Adeline has become just as negligible as plain faces.

The Chancellor always sighs at his daughter, who no longer pretends to be anything.

I know what my father is trying to say. Adeline must dress quite well to show the authority of the Marcelio family and the royal family.

-... but it's useless...

I used to scratch Adaline too.

Whatever the authority, he wants to match Prince Rutvias to a little bit of fashion design, fragrance oil for his hair, and so on. But I guess I was originally lacking in such taste. He looked floating somewhere even in a state-of-the-art dress, and the stiffer the hairstyle, the more emphasised the plain nature of his face.

And there you go. Engagement dissolution disturbance with Prince Rutvias. The attitude around him changed, and so did Adeline.

I turned away from the mirror, from myself, from reality.

No matter how dressed, Adeline's plain face will be beautiful. I've been desperately dressed, and now I'm sure they'll call me 'Evil Ascension'.

Plain is fine. You don't have to stand out. If you put on your samurai dress, the ladies might never find you. Anyway, it's inconspicuous. That was the only way Adeline would protect herself.

The Knights' trumpet rang loudly behind me.

People go out of their way and get out of their chairs one after the other. Prince Rutvias has arrived.

Adeline blued.

What a bad time.

Adeline rushed to look for the flower hat. In the bushes near the place where he reckons he fell, when he finds it and picks it up, he rushes back to the Chancellor. But I'm held back by the people who started moving, and I can't really move on. I couldn't even force myself to move on, I made sure to soak up the crowd and finally reached the point where I could see the carriage where the prince seemed to be in. Apparently, the Imperial Knights, who were escorting the carriage, have already disembarked and aligned themselves. It was impossible to go any further to Adeline, even though he should have welcomed the prince out of the carriage first next to the Chancellor. Adeline dropped her shoulder.

I didn't expect to miss picking up a returning prince. How dare you offend my impotence. I'm pretty sure the Chancellor will reprimand me badly. There will be rumors of things again in the court, and most importantly, Prince Rutvias will surely be offended by his fiancée, who did not welcome him. I can't believe you think of me as a disrespectful woman who wouldn't even welcome me on top of that, even though I would be neglected...

I'm in the mood for Adeline to fly across the sky herself, not the flower hat. The unseen wind struck Adaline with resentment.

I saw the Chancellor exchanging words with a young man who seemed to be in charge on the imperial side. They sign each other's papers and when they are stamped, they shake hands and nod. Perhaps it is a document of the arrangements for the return of Prince Rutvias.

"Give me your sword!!!

At the same time as the voice of the Knights Commander of Rude Saxony, not only the Knights of Rude Saxony, but also the Knights of the Empire stood their swords on the ground simultaneously, sounding their military shoes and kneeling. As I signaled it, the hedges break one after the other so that the waves spread from the front, drooling their heads.

Adeline also noticed and broke her knee on the spot.

Gachari, and his lord opens the carriage door. In a quiet place, only the sound of shoes descending from the carriage stepping stone echoed.

The sound of the shoes advances without straying, crossing the border, crossing.

I heard the Chancellor. I can see you're saying that you're welcome back even though it's a lot further away because the place is quiet. And...

"I struggled while I was away"

Calm, low, adult male voice.

Adeline trembled. Prince Rutvias' voice, which Adaline knows, was high, girl-like. Even now, I realize that Prince Rutvias has had ten years as well as Adeline.

"I say thank you for the welcome. Please stand."

Forgive me, people get up. I lifted my neck, looked up at the future master who had returned home, and -- -- everybody, breathed.

The prince's mother was bewitched with the jewels of Rude Saxony. The most beautiful queen on the continent, people praised her beauty. The only prince she had ever given birth to was praised from an early age for a beautiful face very similar to her mother's.

And after ten years, the prince returned to his homeland. Become such a beautiful young man.

The righteous face inherited from the Mother and Lady remained intact, and its beauty was even spectacular, combining adult masculinity with youthfulness. The blue blue blue coat flickers in the strong wind, but it is too beautiful and brilliant.

Adeline combined her hands in front of her body and clenched them painfully. I remember feeling like I was going to stop breathing. A paralysis that runs through your whole body from your nail tip. Adeline desperately ignored them slapping Adeline in the chest by leaning down.

Prince Rutvias seemed to be exchanging words with the head of the Empire. After this, we are going to board a carriage dedicated to the Royal family of Ludo Succeeds and head to the Mansion, where we are staying today. It is a lord's mansion where Adeline has been staying for a few days.

But there's no sign of the carriage moving out this way. Adeline glanced, roughly wondering if there was anything wrong. Prince Rutvias is looking around a little and then asking the Chancellor something. What you're talking about doesn't sound like Adeline at all.

At the end of the conversation with the Chancellor, Prince Rutvias began to look into the faces of the people this time.

Looks like we're looking for someone. I wonder who the hell you're looking for.

Prince Rutvias' eyes confirm the welcome people in turn. And finally, when I saw Adeline's face, the look shook a little.

Adeline breathed.

Are you saying you were looking for yourself? Just in case, Adeline confirmed who stood behind her, but what was behind her appeared to be a servant of a house of some age about the prime minister. I don't think I have any acquaintance with Prince Rutvias.

-... me?

I didn't think Prince Rutvias would remember Adeline's face, which I only met once ten years ago. But Prince Rutvias is on his way - towards Adeline.

People interested in who the prince searches for and finds look unexpected as they find Adeline ahead of them, paving the way for the prince. But the biggest surprise is Adaline herself.

The prince walks to himself. Even if you're wrong with someone, there's no doubt that the gemstone-like blue eyes bordered by long lashes are capturing Adaline's little black eyes straight at this moment.

People's attention is drawn.

I want to escape, but my legs don't shake.

Adeline had no idea why the prince was coming to herself.

My parents decided, I'm a political fiancée. For love's sake, she tried to dump me once. Still, will you care for my fiancée, Adeline, though?

Even so, Adeline can't help but be confused.

"Adeline... right? That's a hiccup."

To be sure, Prince Rutvias called the name of Adeline. And softly sprinkle his face in line with the golden ratio.

Even on the first day, this is how the ten-year-old prince called Adaline's name. And instead of responding, Adaline, eight years old, couldn't even blink. Now, like Adeline, seventeen.

Cheeks, sultry tears streamed.

"... Adeline?

Prince Rutvias was puzzled and peered into Adeline's face.

"Are you crying?

From Adaline's eyes, tears overflowed and spilled later.

I was called by name, that's all I'm just glad I can't help it.

I was worried and depressed about what face to welcome you, and even wanted to escape if I could.

If I shredded off my position, my insistence and all that, all I had left was pure admiration.

A seventeen-year-old girl falling in love with Prince Rutvias was just crying there, in the joy of reunion, as the noblemen who were the lords of the Rude Saxony court stood.
