His Royal Highness's cats are very hairy.

Episode Six: The Prince's Confusion

"Your Highness has decided."

My grandfather told Rutvias that in a good mood.

"Is that my queen?

Rutvias looked surprised and showed it.

But I wasn't even that surprised on the inside, and I wasn't very interested in the story.

Rutvias is only ten years old. It's harder to tell them to be interested when they say 'My Lady'. Anyway, he concentrated on giving the attitude and answers he deserved so as not to undermine this difficult grandfather's mood.

'Who is that?

Rutvias asked his grandfather with the same expression that he was glad the Queen had decided.

Stretch your spine and pull your jaw. Both hands were perfectly attached to the side of his body, and that attitude, like that of a knight standing in front of his superior officer, was roughly not childish, but in front of his grandfather Rutvias always tried not to break this attitude.

You were satisfied with your grandson's attitude, and his grandfather, rarely these days, held up Rutvias. I know you thought that would make your grandson happy, but Rutvias consolidates his body. Besides being unfamiliar with being held by my grandfather, my grandfather is already old. If even his lower back hurts from being forced to hold him up, my grandfather would reprimand Rutvias badly. It is unreasonable from Rutvias, but that is his grandfather and a man named King of the Ludsackseed.

Roughly in response to Rutvias' tension, his grandfather held his heavier grandson lightly.

"Your Lady is Marcelio's daughter."

- Engagement ceremony in a few months.

In front of my first fiancée, I thought Rutvias would be.

Instead of greeting her, she can't even reply to Rutvias' words, the girl who leans down.

One daughter of famous Chancellor Fanias Marcelio, proud of Rude Saxseed.

The Marcelio family is a prestigious family that has been serving the Royal Royal Roud Succeed for generations and has spawned numerous distinguished politicians. A few generations ago the king had his princess bequeathed to the head of the Marcelio family at the time, which means she also has royal blood. That's exactly why the family and the bloodline are perfect queens of the future. But my grandfather must have liked the fact that my daughter was weak and seemed to grow up most. My grandfather, Albuquerque, hates being spoken of more than anything.

My fiancée, who repeats' thank you 'every time she is thanked by her subordinates, is like a teasing doll. The young Rutvias decided to throw away the pale expectations of his fiancée, which were in the corner of his heart, as early as possible round. I just got married, and I wouldn't even be the one to talk to. Political marriage is such a thing.

"His Excellency the Chancellor and his lady will pick you up at the border."

Rutvias, who was to return home at the age of twenty, asked the ambassador of his native country, who had come to pick him up to the Empire, and struck him in the heart.

-... that's a hassle.

My fiancée, who I've hardly even spoken to.

I haven't even exchanged letters in the last decade. Most importantly, the exchange of letters with my home country was restricted to the Empire, so I had no choice.

I only met him once at the engagement ceremony. Rutvias honestly remembers only vaguely the face of his fiancée, the Chancellor's Lady, and feels no familiarity at all.

But Ludovias is the only prince of the Royal House of Ludo Saxony. Eventually, Prince Wang, and as a king, it is an important duty to make a child you want to inherit. In order to do so, it is necessary to establish a good relationship with the Chancellor's Lady.

-... well, that's as easy as that.

Rutvias was aware that his face was very good, and he knew that the cats he kept overhead were very hairy and good for the ladies. Many ladies, whether married or unmarried, have told me in the Empire and I am also familiar with the treatment of noble ladies thanks to having to deal with them appropriately. They love beautiful things and foolishly think they do too. You can satisfy that ugly self-esteem.

Not to mention one worldless prime minister's warrant, which won't matter.

Rutvias had the confidence that the Chancellor's Lady, no matter how high-flying, nasty, would smile when she loved her and continue to do so until she died. I knew that wasn't really a happy marriage for me, and for my fiancée, but what I was trying to do was get married politically.

So Rutvias had no shards either, such as his intention to take off the cat in front of Adeline.

... until I see her again.

"Welcome back"

"I struggled while I was away"

Speak up to the Chancellor, who bows his head.

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

Rutvias felt the aristocrats in line raising their faces and breathing.

But the reaction is not new to Rutvias. Because I have never met anyone before who sees the beautiful face of his mother's concession and is not surprised.

Plus, I'm always getting my cat hairy today. It's not strange that a few of your ladies are in love. Although I do not intend to take responsibility.

On the steps of boarding the carriage, Rutvias noticed that there was no example Chancellor's Lady. Weren't you supposed to welcome Rutvias at the border with the Chancellor?

I wonder what the name was. I can't remember.

Rutvias grinned as he looked back at the Chancellor.

"Marcelio. What happened to your daughter?

"is that..."

A calm, sedentary prime minister, proud of his rude succeeds, was sweating cold on his forehead. To the perfectionist prime minister, his daughter's failure to welcome Rutvias seems to be a major lapse. Indeed, this will be a source of rumors that the nobles love.

"A flower hat (kabo) has been flown in the wind... and Adeline is still searching for her hat... she hasn't returned yet..."

-... oh, yeah. It's Adeline.

Rutvias finally remembered his fiancée's name. And she's a bad girl. Rutvias looked around, a little sympathetic. And a short distance away, I found a girl overlapping with a distant shadow.

In the face of flashly dressed, only one fiancée wore a lovely dress, like a search for a mistake.

Just fine, Rutvias thought.

I'm sure she'll want to get out of this place for the failure to welcome her future husband. If you forgive it and comfort her, she should occasionally forgive Rutvias for her heart. Wouldn't it be quicker than being in a good mood?

Besides, if you look at Rutvias and his fiancée, who speak intimately in this popular circle, it could be a prevention for the undelivered to pull out the example scandal. I'm sorry I let that thing get steamed back again.

Rutvias is straighter than walking to his stand-up fiancée, and...

"Adeline... right?

I smiled superbly, on my cheek.

Rutvias narrows his eyes as if he had reunited with the lover he had always wanted to see.

"Long time no see"

Thank you. From now on, until that moment when you're out of breath, I'm going to make my husband dream that he loves me. Let me sneak a shady mockery of you whispering in my ear that you are beautiful, that I love you.

Without knowing, for example, of Rutvias' heart. Okay, the fiancée girl dyes her cheeks red and smiles back with joy - it should have been.

Pottari, and Shizuku fell.

For a moment, I thought it was raining. But it wasn't.

"............... Adeline?... crying... are you there?

To Rutvias' question, she does not answer.

And Rutvias could not ask on top of each other.

My fiancée's -... tears accumulated in Adaline's open eyes, unable to withstand their own weight, slip down their white cheeks.

Rutvias forgot to blink and looked, as pure and transparent tears as morning dew fell from her jaw to the ground with potari potari.

From there the tears fall, a small circle of waves emerges, whose waves gradually spread wide, while repainting the colours of the world.

Rutvias was so stunned by the brightly colored world that he wondered if the world that stood until then was black and white.

Adeline already knew about love. If you look at the tears, it's obvious.

I don't even have to think about it. What she is in love with is' Prince Rutvias'.

I only met her once 10 years ago. You mean just once, Adeline fell in love with 'Prince Rutvias'? Rutvias laughed spirally in his heart.

-... someone who can barely even have a conversation, you're in love with me a lot.

Instead of a conversation, I couldn't even catch my eye.

What a happy daughter to be able to fall in love with.

Can that love be called love at all? Even if Rutvias takes off her cat, can she be in love with Rutvias? No, I'm sure she wakes up from her dreams, from love.

In Rutvias, darker emotions swirl.

-... why am I upset?

If Adeline is in love with 'Prince Rutvias', wouldn't it be convenient? That should have been the purpose.

Yet what the hell is this anger that boils?

-... not me.

Adeline is in love with 'Prince Rutvias'.

Rutvias, not Rutvias. Looks like she's looking at Rutvias, and she's not looking at Rutvias.

That wasn't limited to her. For a long time everyone has dreamed on their own and pressed it against Rutvias for the sake of the beauty of Rutvias. No one will ever notice the real Rutvias, nor will they try to know.

Rutvias didn't mind that. People sought a gentle, serene, picturesque prince, and Rutvias would have been. If that's the case, I could say that I was tying myself up, but I didn't have anyone else who wanted me to know who I really was in the first place.

Although...

-... only this woman...

I just don't like Adeline.

I want you to see it.

Straight, don't be confused.

"Adeline."

Look at this.

"Adeline."

Look at me.

But to Adeline, who kept leaning down, Rutvias... could no longer be confused.

"The reality is this, darling."

Rutvias took off his cat.

Adeline leans up and makes her cheeks snap. Seeing that, Rutvias felt a slight but dwindling drink.

-... Sora Mi.

Didn't her love wake up as soon as she took off her cat? Such love, is it something that goes into the number of love?

Rutvias couldn't wait to crush that love like glittering candy balls. Who makes you do things like "congratulate" with a dreamy, sweet prince?

But such a pleasant mood fades quickly. Adeline froze in fear of Rutvias… again, she leaned down.

-... look at me.

But she doesn't look. Adeline's act stirred Rutvias' wrath.

If you think about it carefully, Adeline is scared to do the natural trick. Is Rutvias doing it to her, or the rampant emotions were completely taking away sober thoughts from Rutvias? Usually Rutvias wears the cat he borrows and smiles well, but the original he is not a person who specializes in emotional restraint.

Rutvias slammed Adeline with his wild emotions as they were.

"When I look at you, I get an acid bug."

How could you not look at me? It was a similar emotion to hatred.

... I wanted you to turn around.

Somehow, I wanted to turn it around.

But Rutvias doesn't know how or why he wants her to do it.

I didn't even think about it.

He bites down the anger that blows.

That's the only way to control your emotions, Rutvias, who doesn't like restraint.

Bite and swallow. I scream at myself for heartache and other knowledgeable things.

If I didn't, I couldn't stand 10 years of hostage life or anything -... no, he's been ignoring the flaws in his heart ever since before he was taken hostage.

There is no way that such Rutvias would notice the complicated timing of his own mind, such as being jealous of himself.

To a world colored with Adaline's tears, he was just, like, bewildered.
