His Royal Highness's cats are very hairy.

The rain that had fallen from midnight did not stop in the morning, and for that reason the line had to be stopped. It was because of the rain and the fear that the carriage would take its legs.

In one case last night, Adeline hoped that her relationship with Rutvias would change anything, but Rutvias at the breakfast table, as usual, had barely seen the conversation with Adeline, just moving her hands and mouth silently. And when I finish eating, I still try to get up and leave without saying anything.

Adeline also stood up for a drop off, as usual, but thought to herself and spoke to Rutvias.

"Your Highness, that!

Rutvias stops perfectly in front of the door. He won't turn around, but he seems to be waiting for Adeline's word.

"... Um, last night... what about abdominal pain... were you okay?

"... oh"

Not quite. Just one word, but Adaline was satisfied. I felt like I could walk away just a little bit.

I was going to drop Rutvias off as it was, Adeline, but, unexpectedly, Rutvias didn't leave.

"... you coming?

With his body pointing at the door, it was like talking to himself.

That's why Adeline leaned her neck thinking she had misheard something.

"... Huh?

"... if you don't want to come"

"Yes, I'm going!

The basic question of where, etc., did not come to Adaline's mind.

On the same white body as the wings, a hyena glowing in silver.

Purple eyes that shine like amethysts.

The beautiful creature was hissing, feathering pure white wings as if they were angels.

"-... Tenma!"

Adeline held her mouth in haste. All of a sudden, it's hard to break Tenma's mood.

"It's Shiva"

When Rutvias grated the water bucket he had in his hand onto the floor, he pulled out the Guan piercing and went inside the fence.

"Shiva... how beautiful..."

Adeline groaned inadvertently.

Tenma, who lives in the highlands of Rude Saxony, is a rare creature and hunting is strictly forbidden.

It had the privilege of being owned only by the direct men of the Royal Roud Saxonyd, and was considered sacred throughout the continent as a creature loved by the goddess because of its beauty.

"I've never seen it before"

At an early age, when I heard the story of Tenma in my bedtime story and admired it, and turned to Millet to try it on, I was taught that it was a royal privilege.

Millet advised me, 'Please don't ask me to be my husband,' but before I could tell my fiancée about the wish, the person of the day traveled as a hostage. With the heavenly horse of a child horse whose wings still do not grow.

The Heavenly Horse of the Predecessor and the present King unfortunately died in the previous battle, so there are currently no Heavenly Horses in the Royal Palace.

Apparently there are several Tenma owned by the royal muscles in Wang Capital, but they are tightly controlled, and this was the first time that Adeline saw Tenma in earnest.

Shiva circles with Gurli in the stables of a size that would connect about five ordinary horses, sliding sweet to Rutvias.

Rutvias strokes his successful neck to slap him gently. With a gracious look that doesn't show to Adeline.

On its rarely visible side, Adaline was blinded.

Despite the fact that a rare creature, Tenma, is in front of us.

"... touch it?

Rutvias turned around Adeline. Covering a dodgy, jumping heart, Adeline asks.

"But... is that okay?

Tenma is proud. I hear that I will not allow anyone to ride except my husband, and some of them will not let me take care of them besides my husband. I don't think the first time I met Adeline touched it casually.

Rutvias is already the usual Buddha top surface.

"Come on? It's Shiva who decides"

…

In other words, Rutvias doesn't seem to be helping us in any way, as Adeline touches Shiva.

Adeline got lost. If I can't get close enough to get kicked... But I don't want to miss the opportunity to touch the Tenma that I've longed for since I was a young girl.

Adeline dusted and swallowed her spit.

I'm in the fence unplugging the Guan Pierce like Rutvias did.

Buru, Shiva snorted.

"... nice to meet you, Shiva. I'm Adeline."

Looking into Shiva's eyes and saying, as if to reply, Shiva blinks her purple eyes.

-... it's like you know the words...

Adeline passed beside Rutvias and slowly approached Shiva.

"... may I touch your beautiful hyena?

When Adeline asked, Shiva snorted again, and what a drooling head.

"..."

Let her breasts dance, and Adeline turned Rutvias around. Rutvias was arm-wrapped with a difficult face, but he nodded to Adeline.

"You don't seem to mind."

Adeline desperately suppresses the urge to jump up and faces Shiva again. One step closer, I reached out softly. The fingertip touches a silver-threaded hyena.

"... you're not only beautiful, you're very smart"

Buru, Shiva rings again.

"Well."

Adeline became happy. I gently touched Shiva's neck. The supple muscles are reliable and warm. Shiva raised her head, which she was lowering, but there is no bare gesture against Adeline's hand.

"Adeline."

"... YES!

And when he was called, he turned around, and Adaline was given a dash.

"..."?

"Hyena. Rinse him. It's easy to get involved."

When Rutvias turned his back on Adeline, he removed his coat from his shoulder and hung it on the fence.

"I'm gonna get some water."

"... Your Highness?

"You're going?

If you tell me to go, I will, but in Adeline, the bucket will be empty while I get here from the water field.

"... Welcome..."

Rutvias took off his wrist and rolled his arm, leaving with a barrel in his hand. After losing sight of the hindsight, Adaline spoke to Shiva.

"... usually, Your Highness will rinse?

Exactly. There's no response back from Shiva that sounds like a response.

"... do you mind if I do?

I didn't get a response from saying this, but I didn't run away, so Adaline tried to hyena. It's easy to get involved, Rutvias said, but he slipped through the hyena without ever getting hooked.

"... Your Highness must be polite every day."

There was a watch in front of the stables, and he looked like he couldn't get in there except for Rutvias. I mean, I guess Rutvias is alone in taking care of Shiva. You must be giving yourself the water you draw, wiping your body, and taking care of yourself. Such a beautiful creature. I can also snort Rutvias hands on. But that won't be all.

-... Your Highness, maybe he's really a loving one.

The gentle look I gave Shiva makes me want it. Otherwise, taking care of Shiva in a busy day is just overburdened.

"... I'm a little jealous of you, Shiva"

To the spilled Adeline grunt, Shiva has turned her neck as she snorts. Maybe he's consoling me.

"What do you envy?

"Huh! So, Your Highness!?

At some point Rutvias was coming back. When Rutvias entered the fence, he lowered a bucket full of water to the floor.

"So? What do you envy?

"Oh, no, you know..."

Adeline was in a hurry and wolf. I simply envy that Rutvias takes care of me. But I can't possibly tell such a thing to the person. I know Rutvias doesn't like Adeline, and I can sadly understand why. I hate even Adeline, such a plain, stupid, shady woman. I can't believe you took care of that, there's more to it than thick. As for Adeline, all you have to do is treat Rutvias as something that doesn't have Adeline and forget it exists. That way Adeline would kill her breath, live in seclusion, but in peace.

"Uh, um..."

In the eyes of Adaline in haste came a gleaming hyena in the silver of Shiva.

"The hyena!

"... hyena?

"It's beautiful silver... and he says he envies me. Because I'm such a dark color."

The bullshit didn't always seem like it. Because Adaline always wanted her hair to be blonde or silver.

Successfully misled. And I don't have to lie a lot. When Adeline was so relieved, Rutvias approached silently.

Something happened. Adeline raised her face.

"... Your Highness, please... I would love to!

Without trying to get to the end of the question, Rutvias pinched Adeline's cheek and pulled relentlessly.

"... sounds like steamed rice candy"

"Yes, it hurts, Your Highness, no..."

Pleading in tears, Rutvias let go of Adeline's cheek by trying to play her finger.

Adeline grudgingly stares at Rutvias as she rubs her reddened cheeks with her hands.

"What is it all of a sudden... eh"

"I told you not to."

"... yeah..."

Adeline remembered yesterday's interaction that you should not be humbled.

"Ah... su, excuse me..."

"Next time, I'll snap my nose."

"No, please don't!

Rutvias blew out small into Adeline, who stabbed her nose with her hands.

-... laughed!

But the smile was like a flash of illusion, and soon disappeared, so Adaline couldn't even look closely at it again.

When Rutvias turns his back, he lifts the barrel as it is.

"Watch your step if you don't want to get wet."

"Yes!

When Rutvias put the bucket of water on the floor, he began to clean the floor with a long brushed pattern. Rutvias actually moved handily, going to fetch water several times afterwards and changing the leaves. If anyone doesn't know who he is, he'll only look like a horse. Though a horse with a lot of elegance.

"Your Highness, may I? Your Highness?"

I heard Adaline's father from the outside.

"I'm coming now"

Returning a word, Rutvias looked back at Adeline.

"I'm going back. What about you?"

By asking, can I stay here? Then I'd like to be with Shiva a little more...

"... I'll be back in my room too"

Adaline ended up making a tough decision. Rutvias gently stroked Shiva's nostrils as he grabbed the coat he was putting on the fence.

"See you."

Hiss like Shiva is sweet.

-... I wonder if I have 'again'...

It was a distraction of Rutvias today, and thus I put him in this stables, but it is not necessarily that Rutvias will have the same distraction again in the future. Who is Shiva, who is strictly guarded as a holy beast, and who perhaps will never meet again?

"... today, thank you. Give me a precious opportunity."

Adeline thanked Rutvias for his side.

Even if I never had his confusion again, let me thank you for giving me this precious one.

"You too, thank you Shiva"

When Adeline smiles, Shiva snorts, too.

I'm sure you'll never forget your contact with this beautiful, clever creature. Along with the appearance of Shiva-friendly Rutvias.

"... adeline"

"Yes?"

When called, Adeline turned to Rutvias.

Rutvias looks grumpy, but has a complicated look at me. He seemed to have something to say, and his thinly open lips trembled several times, looking for words.

-... what is it?

Adeline waited for Rutvias' words. But in the end, I couldn't hear his words and ended up punishing him. From the outside, again, because I heard a voice calling Rutvias.

"Your Highness? I'm sorry, but I have a rushed letter for you. May I?

"... I'm going now"

Rutvias replied the same as earlier, but this time he really headed right to the exit of the stables.

-... I wonder what it was?

While wondering what Rutvias was going to say, Adeline follows Rutvias' back.

The rain has stopped at some point.

When he saw Rutvias and Adeline coming out of the stables, the Chancellor rounded his eyes.

"... Was he with you?"

"Yes, please speak to Your Highness"

"... right"

The Chancellor turns a meaningful gaze to Rutvias.

"Prime Minister, which letter is the hurry?

Rutvias sneered at the Chancellor's gaze and other unnoticed appearances. His cat is still in excellent shape today.

"Oh, I'm sorry"

Adeline decided to quit on the spot because it was about to start talking about politics. You must not be disturbed.

"Your Highness, Father. I beg your pardon."

Pinch the dress and gently break your knee.

"Oh, somebody get my daughter to the room"

A knight standing beside him lowered his head.

I have eyes with Rutvias at a step back.

"... then Adeline. See you for lunch."

It's a gentle smile that will mercy your fiancée no matter who sees it.

"Yes, excuse me"

Adeline gently broke her knee again.

Eradicating the scandal will be a matter of time. Even Adeline, who knows cats are just laughing, still thinks Rutvias' smile is beautiful. If you see people who know nothing, it must look like Rutvias loves Adeline.

Adeline was going to return to the directions that Rutvias had brought with her, going around the back of the stables and out into the corridor.

But at the end of the corridor, he finds the shadow he saw and stops gibberish.

Turning back is too blatant a way to avoid it. But there's no place to hide.

The shadow seems to have noticed Adeline for a long time, walking straight towards Adeline.

"Good afternoon, Master Adeline."

Greeting with her seductive red lips, she pinched the colored dress only slightly with her thin fingers and gently broke her knee.

That's graceful and deliberately flattering.

"... good day. Dear Hardevich."

Adeline also pinches the dress with her fingertips and breaks her knee, just like Hardevich. Dress in colour.

Yes, Hardevich's dress is the same color as Adeline's dress.

Unlike the plain dress with no Adeline embellishment though, the Hardevich dress was graceful with red and purple lace on the hem and a large open chest with an embellishment resembling a rose. The same ornament is applied to the flower hat, and the brilliantly tied hair is chopped with a chisel. Despite the same 'coloured dress', there is a difference between the outfit of Adeline and Hardevich, which was raised so dearly in the greenhouse, and that wet in rain and mud on the road.

"Well, how illegitimate of me. Can you forgive me for wearing the same color as Master Adeline? Dear Adeline,"

Hardevich looked up with sorrow, but his eyes glowed with pleasure.

It is the implicit practice of the aristocratic society to take care not to wear the colours of dresses with women who are clearly of a higher status than themselves or with their guests. Especially in public events, the ladies purchase information on high-ranking women's costumes with all kinds of connections and avoid being of the same color.

If you wear a color, you won't be punished, but you won't be spared from buying surroundings. They say there are some stiff people who wear the same color on purpose to get into a high-ranking woman, but of course there are only a few examples of that.

Adeline is the Chancellor's Lady, fiancée of the First Prince. I have never really cared about this practice because I am a person on the side to be taken into account. And it was the first time I had actually worn the color of a dress with someone else.

"Well, of course... it looks great on you."

The fault of the inferior is the duty of the superior to forgive.

-... but this...

"Thank you"

Adeline was convinced of how Hardevich looked smiling naturally.

-... on purpose.

Hardevich deliberately wore a dress the same color as Adeline. Adeline, to insult you farther away that you are not going to take into account your opponent. Or to make it look like Adeline when it varies from person to person wearing the same color?

Either way, Hardevich stands in a colored dress and in front of Adeline to mock Adeline.

I could see that, and Adeline shriveled even more.

We should reprimand Hardevich for being disrespectful and order him to get dressed now. That is what Adeline should do as the next Crown Princess and eventually the Queen. Do not let the queen be insulted by her subordinates. I know that too, Adeline. But Adeline couldn't even keep an eye on Hardevich. It's just embarrassing, frightening, and pitiful and shrinking.

Perhaps Hardevich is doing this too, knowing that Adeline won't get out strong.

"Um... so now I'm..."

I want to get out of this place quickly.

In my head, that was just it.

"Well, something smells like this."

"... Huh?

I wonder what the smell means. Adeline doesn't know, but Hardevich is frowning uncomfortably.

"No, it smells like a stables. Where the hell are we going to start? Hey, Master Adeline."

"..."

My face got hot. Hardevich rubs that Adeline stinks of horse shit. Shiva's stables, where Adeline was though, were cleaned clean by Rutvias and did not smell much. There's no way anything stinks in a dress in such a short time.

Simply because Hardevich knows that Adeline was alone in the stables with Rutvias, and I guess that doesn't bother him. I just don't have the nerve to say it back to Adeline, even though I know I do.

"I beg your pardon"

Adeline lay her eyes down, trying not to look at Hardevich and walking away. But before that, Hardevich gets stuck.

"You don't have to be in such a hurry"

"... would you please clear the way"

"Hey, Master Adeline. Would you introduce me to Your Highness?

"... Huh?

Adeline accidentally looked back at Hardevich's face.

Long eyelashes, thick lips in bright red, and smooth limbs from a rich chest are full of alluring appeal. In contrast to Adeline's dwindling self, keeping it out of people's eyes, Hardevich is proud, confident, and prestigious of his own beauty.

"I want to be close to you with Your Highness. I've never seen anyone that nice before."

Hardevich turned his cheeks inadvertently wondering if he was remembering Rutvias.

…

Looking at Hardevich's happy appearance, for some reason, inside Adeline's chest clouds with Moya.

I want to smash Rutvias' nature and smash Hardevich's dreams he's portraying. But Hardevich wouldn't believe it in those places, and it's horrible to find out to Rutvias that Adeline was exposed.

Your Highness won't listen to me.

I refused and tried to disperse early, but Hardevich wouldn't forgive me.

"That's how you're willing to keep your sideroom candidate away from Your Highness?

Adeline lags behind in a challenging Hardevich look.

"Oh no... I..."

"You don't think you can satisfy your Highness, do you?

"... I don't think"

With a hard voice, Adeline returned it. Rutvias hates Adeline. Because it is our duty to welcome Adeline to the Queen. It is Rutvias' freedom to keep a woman on her side who is attracted to her heart, provided that she fulfills her duties.

"I'm glad you understand."

Hardevich smiles satisfactorily.

"If someone were to be chosen as a sideroom, wouldn't you rather sell me a favor here and you'll get one later?

Pup, and something hung up inside Adeline.

"... I didn't like it..."

"Huh?"

"I didn't like it and become my fiancée!

That's all I said to throw it away, Adeline ran out.

Run through the corridor by tearing up the dress and bending a few rough turns.

-... I wanted to be, not be!!

Yet just because I'm a fiancée, I get hit with hostility and insult. If it wasn't for Rutvias' fiancée, he wouldn't have been noticed or given this plain look. He must have taken his son-in-law as the only daughter of the Marcelio family and spent his days quietly, peacefully, and in peace.

Indeed, I have thanked the goddess for the good fortune of being the fiancée of a gentle and beautiful prince. But that's a long time ago.

Since the engagement dissolution disturbance three years ago, the fiancée's seat is nothing but a luxurious, uncomfortable one to sit on.

Still, I kept sitting because I was in love with Prince Rutvias. Heartless rumors and mockery have also endured the price of continuing to sit on my fiancée's seat. But now that the love I was desperately clinging to was an illusion, how could I stand them?

I'm out of breath and it hurts.

Adeline left her back on the corridor wall where no one was.

I don't have a knight who gave me about the escort.

Wasn't this because Adeline suddenly rushed out, or didn't you follow me because you didn't feel comfortable with Adeline's escort or anything?

Either way, if I don't walk alone, I've broken my promise to Rutvias as soon as possible.

But now I don't care about that either. Everything is annoying.

Second, I felt uncomfortable with my head.

"... the flower hat..."

I looked back at the way I came, but I don't see it.

I wonder where he dropped it.

It is your lady's sagging to walk gracefully and positively so as not to drop the flower hat.

In an effort to make up for his inferior appearance, Adeline has been twice as careful with her demeanor and standing behavior.

Yet I can't believe I dropped the flower hat...

I just took a step back to find him, and he collapsed off my knees. My knee is pounding. For the first time in my life, it was because I ran roughly through my demeanor.

"... Huh..."

Tears overflow.

I was pathetic and miserable.

Rutvias, the country, her status as queen, her position and her marriage are all just burdens on Adeline today.

I want to throw everything out and get away with it.

I felt sorry for myself, embarrassed, and Adaline wanted to bubble and disappear, though I didn't even know how.
