His Royal Highness's cats are very hairy.

When the lavish doors of the Great Hall open, the faces that had already taken their seats rise in unison. Rutvias and Adeline walked forward as the vibrantly dressed people bowed their heads and thanked them. Silver dishes were regularly arranged on a long desk for dinner parties covered in bright white cloth, with flowers and candlesticks placed at equal intervals.

This is not the first dinner party.

I can't get used to looking at it like it's worth it forever, but I can smile pretending I don't notice anything. Still, Adaline was still going to choke on waves of curiosity, envy, suspicion and all sorts of other emotions that she had never felt before.

Next to Adeline, who breathes consciously and repeatedly, Rutvias, as usual, puts a cat over his head and smiles gently like a saint. I was only used to getting attention from an early age, and from that smile I felt nervous but even affordable. He says he's just walking, but the ladies dye their cheeks on that sophisticated walk, otherwise they're sighing.

Ruthvias and Adeline sit aligned on the left side of the king, and each face that stood with it also takes its seat.

A king who was not feeling well when Rutvias returned home, but he also looks good today. The king noticed a different ornament from Adeline's before and narrowed his eyes.

"I wonder why you seem dazzled for so long. You look great, Miss Adeline."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Adeline laid her eyes down and thanked her. Praising a lady for her outfit is a kind of courtesy. Until now, though, the King's words were palpable for Adeline, who had little experience even receiving that courtesy.

"I'll tell you just in case, she's my fiancée, Father. Would you please refrain from speaking?"

"Oh, my son seems to have grown up quite distraught."

To Rutvias' light mouth, a laugh also arose around him as the king responded with pleasure.

"Miss Adeline is truly beautiful today"

"Have you ever been spared, Prime Minister?"

The Chancellor, who was turned to, laughed furiously without panicking.

"My lord, in the absence of Prince Rutvias, I have told you that you do not need to dress."

Adeline doubted her ears. I've never been told that. Rather, Adaline had always told her father to do something a little more, but the Chancellor would be just as good at judging the conversation without even giving it a yawn.

The surroundings nodded at each other as impressed.

"I see."

"That's the Chancellor. That's a great policy."

"Miss Adeline's chaste lady, I'd love to have my daughter apprentice."

Lifted up to the chaste woman, Adeline softly rests. I haven't had a chance to be the center of the conversation in the first place, so I can't even decide whether I should be honestly praised or humbled.

"Wow, me and so on... there's no extermination."

With a loving laugh he was forced to make, Adeline ended up choosing the latter. I'm in the mood to borrow a cat from the head of my neighbor Rutvias.

"That's about it, please. Her shy girlfriend is in trouble."

When Rutvias said lightly again, the king laughed with pleasure again.

"It's a good thing we're close. Looks like you won't be far from seeing your grandson's face in this minute. Marcelio."

"Yes, Your Majesty. Looking forward to it."

There are two people at the top of the country. What are you talking about? Adaline turned bright red on her face and leaned down.

But Rutvias, who smiled as vividly as he had done on his morning walk, said the next word: Adeline fell dangerously instead of leaning down.

"We will try to meet your expectations"

Wow, the place thrives.

Adeline can't block her open mouth.

-... hey, hey, what the...!

No matter how much you want to get rid of the scandal, no matter how much. This can blow Adaline's sanity, not just the scandal.

A serving samurai finishes a glass of wine for all the guests. To Adeline, that seemed to be the help of the goddess.

"Then celebrate my son's return home."

When the king raises his cup, the prime minister imitates it.

"I sincerely congratulate His Royal Highness Prince Rutvias on his return"

In the words of the Chancellor's life, everyone in the great hall raised their cups high, and their voices were aligned.

"We are delighted"

Needless to say, Adeline's hand was trembling.

It was a dinner party that began in a soothing atmosphere, but during the conversations that were exchanged, the nobles' desire for power and curiosity mingled, and Adaline was not distracted for a moment.

There are several factions within the court.

The biggest is the pro-Imperial sect, which subordinates itself to the Empire as a top priority for the reconstruction of the country. This faction maintains a strong force because after the war King Richard solemnly sanctified the opposition, but few anti-imperial factions escape that solemn hand and have an aversion to the Empire and King Richard, who subordinated to it, and the pro-Imperial faction is never one rock. The concern of most nobles is not the national interest or the honor of the country, but how to protect and fatten their family names, territories, and property. To do this, overturn any doctrine, claims, etc. Many people are seen as passing through with anti-imperialists behind them, wearing a mask of ostensibly pro-Imperial.

What they aristocrats have in common interest is the policy of the country that Rutvias will demonstrate in the future and the way in which they can benefit from it.

Of course, Rutvias seemed to know a hundred things about that.

"How have you been in the Empire?

"What kind of people do you hang out with in the Empire?

To such a casual question, Rutvias, with a sober smile like a saint, returns an unwarranted answer and successfully avoids making enemies in vain.

Adeline casually looked at Rutvias at hand.

-... I knew I hadn't eaten anything...

The dishes on the plates placed in front of Rutvias have not diminished anything since they were stolen earlier. He doesn't seem to be carrying a bite in his mouth. Probably just pretending to have a drink, too.

There was also dinner preparations this morning, and Adeline was unable to prepare Rutvias' meal. I mean, he hasn't said anything in the morning.

Rutvias follows faithfully his own words that he does not eat any meals that are poisoned.

There will be plenty of manners and ways to put it. But Adeline felt like she was frightened by something because of Rutvias' stubbornness.

-... I wonder what soup I'll make tomorrow.

Adeline mixes ingredients that Rutvias likes in her head.

However, I felt the jittery pain on my legs and my face was slightly distorted.

-... my shoes...

Both heels are sore.

Shoes that had a light hazelnut color to match the dress were chosen from ready-made items because they didn't have time to get ready.

There was nothing particularly bothering me when I tried it on yesterday, but apparently it didn't fit Adeline's feet slightly. I hadn't noticed it before because I was nervous, but it just hurts to move my legs a little.

I'm curious if you're bleeding, but you can't even give in to see it.

A light-colored dress. If the blood even hits the hem, it becomes noticeable.

After getting lost, Adaline stood up.

"Adeline?"

Adeline smiled at Rutvias as she looked up.

"I'll be right back. Keep talking."

Tell Rutvias and the surroundings to gently fold your knees and thank you.

My heel hurts, but the way I walk sheltering it lacks elegance. Adeline walked consciously and gracefully, step by step, saying that that was not acceptable to her, Rutvias' fiancée.

If you go out in the hallway, there's got to be someone there. Ask a woman to provide first aid. Adaline, out of the door that the samurai opened for me, immediately searched for the figure of the woman. In the shadow of a pillar in a wide corridor of polished marble, find the hem of a dark green dress and Adeline relieves. It's a woman's uniform.

"Um..."

When I approach to speak up, I hear a woman speaking as if there are more than one woman.

"Hey, did you see Master Adeline's dress? That was so nice."

To his name, which jumped into his ear, Adaline inadvertently dived into the shadow of the pillar.

"I'm surprised. You always wore all those old stinking dresses, and you look like someone else."

"It's not flashy, but it's good, right? Do you have any products..."

The old smelly dress, a little hurt by, but not a social dictionary, adds joy to Adeline's chest in compliments from the same sex.

"But..."

The female officer's voice gets slightly lower.

"Suddenly dressed... obviously."

Adeline is not even a voice to the shock as if she had been plunged off a cliff.

"Your Highness is back... you want to be distracted, don't you? It can't be too obvious."

I think I heard a mockery, and Adeline shrinks herself. The women never noticed Adeline, and the chatter continued.

"Sure, the dress is nice, but that mediocre face doesn't change. You're not a skank, are you? But I hope you stand next to your beautiful Highness Rutvias... and I feel sorry for you."

"But Your Highness loves Adeline."

"Because His Majesty is only concerned before His Majesty the King and His Highness the Chancellor. You see, there's an example of an engagement dissolution noise, right? And yet, I rose up a little so gentle with His Highness... with all due respect."

Couscous and I hear a sneak laugh. I should have been used to pussies. But the pain of being knocked off once lifted was unimaginable.

The floor is crumbling and my body is going to continue to fall into the darkness that opens its mouth. I can even feel malice from their voices. I don't remember Adeline having a bad attitude toward the female officer. But from the look of the women who went up to the royal palace in recognition of their education and appearance, I guess they deserve to look down on Adeline, who has nothing but blood muscles.

-... I know...

Rutvias is nice to Adeline because Adeline is her fiancée. I know it doesn't have to be said that there is no love involved, etc. I also know that Rutvias would be concerned about Adeline and Adeline's father's prime minister three years ago. I am not mistaken for the kindness of Rutvias. How happy I would have been if I was a daughter foolish enough to be mistaken.

Unfortunately, though, Adeline is not so ignorant as she just innocently admires her fiancée's prince. I knew too much about people's dirty emotions.

Adeline gently slammed up her dress and looked up at her heels. The skin is peeled, but the blood seeps. You won't have to worry about your dress getting dirty in the blood if this happens.

I want to go back to the big hall somehow so the women won't notice me. That was all that was left of Adeline. The heel hurts, but nothing compared to heartache. I really want to avoid the ladies finding me and just apologizing for my mouth. Because I can't stand to think that he's scorning and laughing at Adeline with his elegant head down.

"Your wedding dress is better suited to His Highness Rutvias than Adeline's."

-... what is it?

Adeline doubted her ears when she stopped her body from changing direction to go back.

To Rutvias, the dress?

Your Highness is a man.

The voice to blame was raised, but it was clear that the voice also enjoyed the new topic.

"'Cause I'm talking about using the finest laces and pearls. It would be a shame for Adeline. Your Highness would definitely look better on you than that."

"I certainly didn't think you were that beautiful. You look just like the late queen."

"I don't think you look much like your majesty."

I'm sure you saw a portrait or something because you shouldn't have had a chance to meet Lady Leena, whose younger girlfriends died. It's a joke about a woman who may be guilty of disrespect but likes to chat, such as the dress fits Rutvias, the future king. It's uncomfortable, but it doesn't have to be taken seriously. Adeline tried to redeem it for the Great Hall this time.

"Yes, it is."

"Oh, what do you mean?

"The old ginseng lady told me, actually..."

The woman's voice went low. Hisohisso and look like fun. What the hell is this time?

"Your Highness's father says you are not His Majesty Richard."

Heartache and footache, all at once, blow away.

Without hesitation for a moment, Adeline approaches the women.

"... you ladies!

The women suddenly appear as fiancées of the prince and peel their eyes at the Chancellor's Lady.

The four women were all of gorgeous beauty. He must be the daughter of a junior aristocrat or a millionaire, who went up to the royal palace to apprentice before marriage or find someone to marry. That is neither unusual nor to blame. But there's more to be done than being in the royal palace as an officer.

"It doesn't matter about me. You can say whatever you want. But I will not tolerate disrespect to His Majesty the King or His Highness Rutvias!! Be careful!!

By virtue of this, there is only one wall apart from the King and Rutvias, in a place like this where it is not strange who is listening.

"also, sorry"

"Excuse me, sir."

"And I beg your pardon"

When the women turned blue and broke their knees, they rushed away.

She said she heard from an ancient ginseng woman. Then I guess the story now is a rumor that has been whispered all along. It must be just one of those rumors that doesn't matter if the previous queen before them was a traveling dancer or if the ghost of a prince who lost and committed suicide in a battle for succession to the throne a long time ago is sobbing on a big hitch of stairs at night. Yet if you don't seriously reprimand me, I'm sure you'll say something bad about Adeline later. But I had no regrets. I can't bear to disparage Rutvias with a chat to distract boredom.

Isn't there too many women officers?

To the sudden voice from behind, Adaline looked back in surprise.

"Your Highness!"

Right behind Adeline, Rutvias sighs as he gazes at the back of the ladies leaving on a small run.

"That's why I have time to waste talking."

"Your Highness, how long have you been there..."

Were you listening to the women?

"Not long ago."

I wonder if they've heard about Adeline. No, now more than that, I regret putting that awful rumor in Rutvias' ear. I should have shut the women up sooner.

"... Um, Your Highness. You may be angry… they just said it as bullshit. Can't you forgive me for blaming you..."

"... you really like sheltering those people who don't know how to be polite. Well, fine. I don't know what the ladies were saying about me, but it's a rumor with no roots or leaves anyway, right?

"... Didn't you hear me?

"I lurked my voice."

I didn't seem to hear that rumor until Rutvias.

"Really..."

Adeline relieved Ho. Even if it's just a rumor, it won't make him feel good.

"Yes, as Your Highness suggests, it's a rumor without roots or leaves"

"I became a woman to find someone to marry anyway. You better make him stop being so busy with his mouth."

Rutvias said that because the female officer's HR is under the Queen's jurisdiction. Even the king's favorite lady must leave the royal palace if the queen is free. The king cannot speak out.

The Royal Family of Ludsackseed, absent both the Queen and the Queen, has temporarily delegated its authority to the Chief Lady, but after marrying Rutvias, it has been decided that Adeline will issue a ruling as the Princess of the King. That's why you can't make a woman quit from the edge who doesn't like you. For some of the ladies had no place to return, and were raised to the royal palace for the purpose of ascending to the queen and the concubine of kings and princes. There are political thoughts of the nobles that are very small. But if you insult one woman, it can develop into a political conflict. While taking into account the political balance, but fairly, uphold the royal palace's wind disciplines and traditions with great weight. That is what Adeline is required to do as Princess Wang.

So the next word Adaline said, as the royal queen, made no mistake.

"But it would be more relaxing to have such a beautiful daughter, wouldn't it?

Rutvias' expression stops. It was slightly distorted by surprise and directed at Adeline. Adeline tilted her neck wondering what was wrong. It's like Rutvias is angry.

"... are you talking about the side room?

"Huh? Oh, yes..."

To Rutvias' inquiry, Adeline nodded. Then the look on Rutvias's face becomes more rude.

"You want me to have a side room?

"Huh..."

It's like he's angry, rather than Rutvias is clearly angry. The anger was undoubtedly directed at Adeline, who was wolfed about it. Did I do something myself?

"Um, Your Highness, I'm sorry. I something..."

"I'm asking if you don't mind if I pick another woman."

Not knowing what Rutvias is looking for, Adeline deepens her confusion. Rutvias won't take the side room, but it's his freedom. I have no right to say this to Adeline about it.

Looking up, Rutvias distorts his face to anger, staring at Adeline as if she were about to shoot him. But Adeline couldn't help but notice that her eyes were hurting somewhere. From the eyes of a beautiful beauty, Adeline reached out wondering if the red blood would still shine and fall.

"... Your Highness?

Rutvias' cheeks, touched with his fingertips, were smooth and cold. I feel strange even though my hands are so warm.

On Adeline's hand, Rutvias' hand was overlaid.

"..."

Rutvias' lips trembled hesitantly to put the words on. I've never seen him hesitate that much. It breaks Adeline's heart to wonder if she has made Rutvias do something so bad. When Adeline tried to warm Rutvias' cold cheeks even with her other hand, she heard the sound of shoes approaching the marble floor far away. Moments, Rutvias' expression changes with gallery. Anger peels off like a dry dirt wall, and although it's not the usual smile, he's nowhere else to endure the pain of being until earlier.

"So..."

"We're going back."

Said, with his hands drawn, Adeline returns to the Great Hall about Rutvias. Along the way, I remembered a painful leg, but couldn't tell Rutvias it wasn't the usual atmosphere, and Adeline chewed her back teeth and walked.

Why is Rutvias angry?

What the hell have I done?

When he got to his seat, Adeline looked sideways at him, but there was already a usual cat sitting over Rutvias' head, not even a fragment of his emotions.

Adeline grabbed a glass of glass of glass of wine poured in her hands in a gloomy mood. I took a sip and tried to forget I felt bad, but it doesn't work that way.

As he smiles like a saint and looks at the side of Rutvias depressed with a gavel in the king's story, the pain in his leg, which he thought he could endure, increases so that it is decided.

"Master Adeline? Can I help you?

The Finance Minister's wife sitting across the street cared for me in a whisper.

"Mrs. Riohersh..."

"How are you feeling?

Mrs. Riohersh, who is still young, is only a little left alive as a decoy. She is a gentle lady who prefers such stories to the bad words of people who are also neglectful of public opinion and who don't know her well, such as the colour of the flowers that blossomed in the garden or the children who fell or laughed. Some people say it's boring to chat with her, but for Adeline, it's ear-friendly and reassuring. The Chancellor knows that, so he always keeps his wife's seat close to Adeline.

"No. Anything.

Adeline rushed to fix it. It's not a good place to be honest and depressed.

Placing the cup, Adeline entered the circle of conversations.

"What are you talking about? Mix me up, too."

"I'm talking about Mrs. Loire's cat. It makes me laugh."

"Well, what are you talking about? Let me hear it."

The cat story soon began to slide up Adeline's ears, instead it was Rutvias' voice that echoed the tympanic membrane.

"Do you mind if I choose another woman?"

Make sure it fits Adeline's pulse, and the doc and wound hurt.

Rutvias has no other brothers. King Richard doesn't have any male brothers either, only a sister princess who has already been demoted. The birth of the next generation is urgently needed for the Royal Family of Rude Saxony, where there are overwhelmingly few young people. I would never have crossed it if Adeline had a child of Rutvias, but if the Queen did not have a good child, it is the royal duty to welcome the side chamber, and it is a right. There are very few kings in history who do not have a side chamber, even if the righteous queen has given birth to a prince who wants to succeed her.

-... it hurts...

The foot wound, it's not. Behind his chest, it was like being trampled.

Rutvias takes the side chamber.

Given that, I think I'm going to cry about what that means.

-... why?

Regardless of when I was in fantasy love with Rutvias, even though now Adeline is not in love with him or anything.... even though you shouldn't.

As a righteous queen, when the time comes, we must respond with fortitude. Never be jealous of the side room. 'Cause I've decided to be a good queen. Because instead of running away, I decided on my mind to take that path.

Leaning down, Adeline grabbed the dress.

"Master Adeline? Are you sure you're all right?

Mrs. Riohersh whispers in a whisper. Around me I began to blur at the look of Adeline leaning deeply.

-... can, can't...

Adeline's black eyes moisten all at once until she is on the verge of decimation.

I'm not ready.

I can't help but be jealous.

I wanted to scream out loud that you wouldn't take Rutvias away from me.

I like this guy.

Tears fell pounding unbearably. Squeeze, tears wet your tiny, trembling fists. And a drop of it, white as a work of art, with big hands wrapped around it.

When I look up hah, Rutvias eyes are nearer than I thought. And they're getting closer.

"... Huh?

I thought I would be mouthed -... but Rutvias gave in slightly, then held up Adeline's body with a breath.

"... Awwwwwwwww!!!!!"

Yellow screams, unlike official events taking place in the traditional Great Hall of the Royal Palace, rose at the same time everywhere.

Adeline can't even breathe, rather than scream.

I was blinded by my existing sense of vision.

This beautiful prince decides to go on an outrage when Adeline cries, but is it meant to be punished?

"So, so. So, Your Highness..."

"Excuse me. My fiancée doesn't seem to feel well. Can you forgive me for leaving? Father."

With a refreshing smile, Rutvias' cat asks the Father King. Neither Adeline's nor your ladies' screams seem to be in your ears.

King Richard nodded quickly.

"That's tough. Somebody call a doctor right away."

"No, because I think it would be better if we took some outside air. Bye."

With a superb smile and a souvenir, Rutvias walks refreshingly with Adeline.

"Hold on."

I got whispered, I got in trouble.

When I was instructed to do the same thing before, I couldn't do it out of shame. Even today shame is no less than that day. But Adaline decided to follow his instructions. the nagging and turning his hand on the seemingly thin shoulder of Rutvias. Then a slight force was applied to Rutvias' hand holding Adeline. I felt like Rutvias had replied, and I was kind of happy about that, and tears fell out of Adeline's eyes again.
