His Royal Highness's cats are very hairy.

"Rutvias is lazy because he looks sweet!

Albuquerque hit Richield's back with a sheath of strength. Not once enough, shoulders, head, twice, three times and it goes on.

The consideration that it is in front of my young grandson is not already in my grandfather's head.

"Father!"

Rutvias exclaimed.

With regret and fear, I can't stop crying.

-... what shall we do? It's my fault.

I was concerned about the crows gathering on the Great Tower, and I went up to see them on the Tenma of Richard.

The first blue twig nest I saw was attacked by a crow and there was only one egg left.

I chased away the crow, fixed only a few of the nearly broken nests, and when I got down to the ground that way, how dangerous, my mother Leena scolded me so perfectly. Richield asked me why, but if I found out there was a bird's nest in the sacred Great Tower, the nest might be removed. Though I thought it was bad for Richard's Heavenly Horse, I lied that Heavenly Horse took him on his own.

But that didn't hold up. The ears of my grandfather King Albuquerque arrived depending on the matter.

Albuquerque was angrier at Rutvias for refreshing his scheduled lecture on religious science than for committing danger. Originally the insect seemed to be in a bad place, and he entered Rutvias' room. No, he yelled and scattered, trying to beat Rutvias with a sheath of swords.

If Richield hadn't taken refuge in trying to thrust Rutvias, he would have suffered a massive injury to his shoulder.

Albuquerque's anger was directed straight at Richard.

Without any resistance, Richard remains beaten. If it's a verbal answer, I know it will make Albuquerque even angrier.

Call Marcelio. Come on.

My mother, Leena, sends a woman officer to call the Chancellor. The only person who can forgive an angry albuquerque is Marcelio, the pet. Richield, who originally had a slight fever, was beaten by Albuquerque and grated, kneeling.

"You weak bastards! Break your knees to this extent!

Albuquerque waves down his sheath relentlessly when he tongues.

"Father."

My mother holds Rutvias from her back as she tries to rush over to her father. Richard yelled.

"Don't come near me!

"Father..."

"Leena! Take Rutvias back!

This was the first time Rutvias had been yelled at by Richard since he was born. But I didn't think it was scary. Don't let Rutvias get involved and get hurt - always a kind father's consideration of Rutvias was painfully passed on to Rutvias.

'What man can't even carry a sword like that to succeed me in this... Huh! How lamentable!'

Eyes run blood with anger and the figure of my grandfather shaking his white hair is so horrible that he deserves to be called a demon.

'Aren't you ashamed! Abominable!'

With the ornament that was on the shaken sheath, Richard's lid was cut off and blood bled out.

Blood falling on the bump and carpet becomes black stained.

"Father, eh!

"What about Marcelio!? Is Marcelio here yet?

On Leena's arm, holding Rutvias tight, is strength. Women and samurai just go right and left.

"The Royal Rude Saxony Royal Foul!

Along with the loud noise, the sheath finally cracked and the cold body peeked. Albuquerque waved up his sword regardless if he hadn't noticed it.

Obsessed, Rutvias screams.

'I will never fail to study again! It will be a splendid successor! So don't kill your father!!

It was just after that that Marcelio jumped into the room.

With one blink, the phantoms of the past disappeared from it without a trace. There is no carpet stained with blood, instead the marble is glowing cold.

………

Rutvias grabbed the cold sweat on his palm. Breathe well and wait for your palpitations to subside.

"Your Highness? What can I do for you?

Aurio approaches.

Rutvias leaned down so that he could not be seen in his face. I'm not sure I can fix my expression.

"Nothing. It's okay."

"... is it Master Left"

Without realizing how Rutvias was doing, and no, you pretended not to, Aurio goes back to his desk again.

Chitchitch, and Rutvias took a deep breath when he heard the chirping of the blue twitch.

Outside the office window, I occasionally remember the old days since the day I found the Blue Twiggle Nest. It's not even a fun childhood to remember, even though I usually try not to.

A little, but is it because we talked about Adeline and my grandfather?

-... no, it's because Riko is close...

Officially recognised as the successor to the country.

I have anxiety. And nervousness. But the confusion is the biggest.

-... me... are you sure?

Rutvias is not an ardent believer, but still, if he continues to be a king prince and succeeds to the throne, he becomes afraid to buy the wrath of the goddess.

Would he be happy if Albuquerque, who was dead, saw himself to be raised? It's the ideal heirloom I grew by hand salt. Whatever the actual Rutvias is, if only on the outside, Rutvias looks like a fine king prince. My grandfather must have emptied his glass of wine in a good mood.

So, how's Richard?

Under that gentle face, I wonder what you really think and feel.

-... does your father really know nothing?

Did you really protect and raise Rutvias without realizing anything? The truth is, don't you know everything?

-... no, you can't possibly know.

If you knew, you'd be in an attitude no matter how much richield. Richield, however, does not break his calm and gentle attitude towards Rutvias. Rutvias is more of a whim.

-... you can't possibly know.

Rutvias tells himself: Then I feel just a little relieved.

Rutvias has repeated this question from an early age. Over and over again. The father said, 'Do you know' and 'You shouldn't know'.

Rutvias shook his head.

Turn to the reading paperwork and chase the letters with your eyes.

-... even if Father 'knew'...

Still, if you're going to give the country to Rutvias, there's some intention in Richield.

It doesn't matter what Richard really thought of Rutvias. Rutvias just does what he has to do.

"Why don't you get some rest?

"... Huh?

Rutvias looked up.

Aurio doesn't even try to see Rutvias while he writes at his desk.

"The work we need to do today is done. If you don't rest up there, your men won't be able to rest either."

"... the word. Just like that. Can I give it back to you?

Rutvias also knows that a few of the following are working overtime with Aurio day after day. I want to tell you to go home, but the coordination of Rutvias' affairs is under Aurio's jurisdiction. If that Aurio is turning the job around on his men, it's not something Rutvias can talk about.

He put away his feather pen and Aurio raised his face as well.

"It's up to Tachiko to put so much in. I'm going to give Riko and your wedding a well-rounded break in order when they settle down, okay?

"Of course that..."

"But you basically don't have time off, so rest when you can"

When Aurio said that, he started moving his hand down again.

"Yesterday, the Chancellor's wife returned from the outhouse. You should be going up to the royal palace with Lady Adeline today. Why don't you go say hello? Please bring the Under-Secretary. I still have things to do."

……

Rutvias grinned, but laughed. Aurio cares about Rutvias. But he doesn't seem to want to admit it, and Rutvias doesn't want him to know it. Rutvias is also a troublesome man, although he is not in a position to say what others say anyway.

-... well, I was definitely going to say hi...

Rutvias stood up.

"Okay. I'm coming."

"... Your Highness"

"What's up?

In front of Aurio's desk, Rutvias stopped. Then Aurio also stands up and lurks his voice in Rutvias' ear as he goes around the desk.

"It's about poison."

"You figured something out?

I promised Adeline I'd find the killer by the time we got married, but I haven't caught a clue this way. Instead, the poisoner stopped poisoning Rutvias' diet and Adeline's diet.

Aurio shook his head and replied.

"No, unfortunately nothing.... I was just thinking, doesn't the killer know we put the poison cook down? That's why I stopped poisoning you. Because it's useless."

Rutvias frowns.

"So the killer knows what's going on around me?"

Knowing what's going on around Rutvias are secretaries, dedicated escort knights, samurai, and women serving near sides like the Aurios. And Prime Minister.

-... and then... Father...

No way, no, maybe... Rutvias dared to ignore his heart.

We have already checked the identity of the samurai and female officers, but no one was particularly suspicious. To put it the other way, if you suspect it's suspicious, it's a suspicious situation for everyone.

Aurio puts his arms together and says the same with his imaginary face.

"Or... accomplished my purpose, so I no longer have to poison you, or..."

"... I'm alive, though?

"Consider that the purpose was not His Highness's life, but something else."

"... for example?

"... for example... was exploring our movements when they poisoned us"

………

What happens when you explore something like that?

Apparently, the inside was on his face. Aurio smiled uncommonly and bitterly.

"I don't know either. Maybe he simply gave up on using poison. There is also the possibility of going into direct action. … don't be alarmed."

"... ok"

Rutvias nodded.

It's a good thing that Adeline's diet is no longer poisoned. But I can't be relieved unless the killer is caught. Most importantly, I wondered why the killer poisoned Adeline's diet. As the Chancellor said, I don't see why Rutvias is after the loss of Marcelio's parents and children.

Aurio's right, no alarm.

Adeline's mother, Lady Chancellor, is from a famous family of rude succeeds that also connects to the royal family, and in fact she used to go up to the Royal Palace as a side-room candidate for King Albuquerque and work as a lady with the Crown Princess. But in the end, in the mouthpiece of King Albuquerque, who was nothing else, he married Adaline's father. At that time, the woman resigned, but the Taiwang Empress, who was originally a difficult character, suffered from memory problems specific to the old man and stopped sending new women.

So Lady Chancellor, a favorite of the Taiwang Empress, left her husband and Adeline in the king's capital to serve the Crown Princess again, who lives in the outhouse. A few years before Rutvias and Adeline got engaged, the Chancellor's wife had already gone up to the outhouse, a figure whose mother rarely sees her for her daughter, Adeline. Adeline, who had gone up to the royal palace yesterday to meet his mother, was softened and restless.

Rutvias told him to go home because he has no official duties in particular, but Adeline clouds the word 'but...'

-... that... you must have cared about me...

Rutvias' mother is already in the other world. I can't even see you. If you try Adeline, I guess it's where you're the only one... aside from Rutvias.

Adaline, who eventually returned after noon, was groaning to see, and Rutvias, who dropped him off, blew his heart out.

I'd usually be jealous, but let's back off here. The opponent is the future stepmother.

"Lady Adeline and Lady Chancellor said she went out to the garden after greeting Her Majesty"

A samurai, who went to touch Adeline's room, came back and told him so.

"I'm sure you'll check on the park later."

Rutvias nodded, too, even though the Deputy Secretary said so.

"Probably."

The Chancellor's wife is tasked with the important task of entertaining guests from countries gathered at the Rita ceremony and the wedding until the end of the ceremony. It was originally a royal woman's job, but I can't even let the Crown Princess do it, because Adeline was only a prime minister's wife until the ceremony, and because there was no other suitable person, the prime minister's wife was supposed to serve.

Going out through the corridor into the garden, under a large sunset umbrella, I turned my back on this one and found a lady sitting here who looked like Adeline and Lady Chancellor.

To Millet and the surrounding woman, who suddenly noticed the prince, Rutvias signaled with his fingers on his lips.

It's not bad to see Adeline's surprised face.

As I sneak my footsteps closer, I hear the two of you talking.

"It doesn't seem to be going well with His Highness Rutvias. Rumors have reached the Palace."

"Oh... Mother..."

Adeline leans down. I can't see your face, but I'm sure you're wearing apple-like colors again.

The Chancellor's wife laughed.

"I got it. His Royal Highness, the returning prince, in the wind scattered with flowers, ran straight over to your sobbing wet lady to reunite and kneeling: 'I love you. I won't let you go anymore,' he whispered, laying on his side and in the carriage..."

"What world are you talking about!?

Seeing Adeline scream in heaven, Rutvias stumbled out.

"... rut!?

Adaline looks back and stands up in a hurry.

Rutvias cursed his own detours.

-... Shit...

Well, I could see Adeline's amazing face, so let's just say it's good.

Rutvias coughs one up and quickly wears the cat back on. And I smiled.

"Looks like you're getting a lot of footprints on the border."

"His Royal Highness Prince Rutvias"

The Chancellor's wife rises.

This is the first time Rutvias has ever faced the Chancellor's wife. The Chancellor's wife, packed in the outhouse, rarely showed up at the royal palace, nor did she attend her daughter's engagement ceremony.

-... this is Adeline's mother...

Blue eyes on chestnut hair. His eyes looked just like Adeline's, but his face seeped out a winning personality, which didn't seem very similar to Adeline's.

"Madam Chancellor. It's the first time I've seen you."

When Rutvias greeted her with a superb smile, the Chancellor's Lady gently broke her knee and bowed her head. Elegant and well-groomed bow.

-... similar...

but very similar to Adeline. No, I guess Adeline imitated her mother.

"Your Royal Highness. It's an honor to meet you. But... it's not the first time you've actually made it happen."

"Isn't this your first time?

"Yes, as soon as His Highness was born, I have congratulated Her Majesty Queen Leena in Her Majesty's name. In that fold, I feared His Highness, who was a baby, and I held him up a lot."

To the words of the Chancellor Lady, Rutvias looks out.

"Was it..."

It's my first ear. I had little business with Queen Tai Wang, so I didn't think I had that kind of contact.

"Your Highness."

Rutvias turned around when he was called.

"Marcelio"

"You!"

"Father!

"Has my wife bothered you with a boring story? Your Highness."

Stepping over, the Chancellor glances at his wife and bows his head lightly to Rutvias. The Chancellor's wife swelled her cheeks

"Well. Excuse me."

"That's a lot of futility for a long time"

"A woman's mouth is a lube for relationships."

Rutvias looked at the talking Chancellor and his wife with rare thoughts. I've never seen the Chancellor slap his mouth so lightly.

"The truth is, we're close."

Adeline said next to Rutvias, hissing.

"This is what it's always been like when you look at each other... but when you're away, you're exchanging letters like every day"

I had no idea there was such a side to the ever-sober named Chancellor who was loyal to the country and the royal family.

"... that's surprising..."

"Isn't it?

That's what I'm laughing at. Adeline seems kind of happy. In aristocratic societies where there are many political marriages, it is not uncommon for unspoken couples. In that, the friendly parents, perhaps, are proud of her.

"How's Blue Tsugumi?

Adeline looked up at Rutvias and asked. While the cat is worn because of the presence of the Chancellor and his wife by his side, Rutvias' mouth naturally arcs.

"I haven't hatched yet. Maybe tomorrow."

Tomorrow?

Black eyes shine.

As soon as he saw it, Rutvias felt the black sediment that had accumulated in his heart melt and disappear.

How easy it is for me to just laugh at Adeline.

-... when did this happen...

At first, I was annoyed by Adeline, who leaned down and didn't look at me. Adeline is now, as a matter of course, at the heart of Rutvias' world, as if it had been such a lie.

"So tomorrow, you mind if I go to the office?

-... you don't have to ask that to get in and out freely.

Adeline's foolish polite courtesy and reluctance discourage Rutvias from time to time. Because they make you recognize there's a wall there. A wall that Adeline never tries to cross. It is an identity, something called a position or duty. She merely turns to her position as the 'Queen' and does not intend to be anything more or less.

"Rut? What's wrong?

"... no"

Rutvias laughed loosely.

Wanting more than that is Rutvias' endeavor. Do not seek. Even if you don't have a heart there, you should be satisfied that Adeline will be your wife.

"I don't mind. Please come anytime."

"Really? Thanks!

Rutvias reaches out to stroke Adeline's hair, laughing happily. Rutvias particularly likes the moist, finger-like Adeline hair.

"... chick. Looking forward to it."

Though illuminated, Adeline laughs.

"Right."

Rutvias also smiled back.

There has been a slight change in Adeline lately. Previously, Adeline had just touched her hair, hardened herself, and was so sad that these days, shy, she was gradually beginning to embrace Rutvias.

-... the other day...

Adeline, who used to run away with a bright red face, hugged Rutvias from herself for the first time. Rutvias was really surprised by that. Even if it was to comfort Rutvias, who was feeling down, it was surprising that she had used such means.

It was pre-construction to tease the overreacting Adeline, such as "To Get used to it," but what if it really worked? Otherwise, there may have been some change in Adaline's mood. If something else, not a sense of duty as a queen or loyalty to the royal family, is growing up in her...

-... no, it's dangerous to be badly complacent.

Rutvias broke his relaxed heart.

If it's not a sense of duty, sympathy, good and friendship. Rising alone is only vain on ugly.

-... that was... dangerous...

I've held him from Adeline, that's all, Rutvias stopped working his teeth. I was obsessed with Adeline's lips and the sweet scent of her hair, and I forgot for a moment that it was an office or a situation where I didn't know when anyone was coming in. I want to praise myself for returning it to me, but if that were my room, would I have been stopped?

It was not Rutvias' intention to go so far as to leave Adeline's feelings behind. Rather, it is Rutvias who will be left behind in this case. Perhaps even if Rutvias wanted his body, Adeline wouldn't refuse. Because it's a duty and a role for her. That makes me too miserable. Though, I have decided to get married. If so, it is also true that the male lurks within Rutvias, irrespective of the differences in the direction of the hearts and minds of both sides.

It was the retention of the man who remained in Rutvias that we should at least wait until the ceremony was over.

"I've had enough of your novels!

When Lady Chancellor turned her back on her husband, she took the arm of her daughter and her fiancée and forced her to sit in a chair.

"Come on, Your Highness! Adeline, it's like a mountain."

"So... that's what happened..."

Against the Chancellor, who opened his mouth again, the Lady fanned viscidly.

"Please shut up. Though His Royal Highness the Prince will be Adaline's husband, so will His Highness Rutvias be my son."

To the words of the Chancellor Lady, Rutvias looks slightly at her.

If I marry Adeline, naturally Adeline's parents will be step-parents, but that feeling has never accompanied me before. I didn't even think he would treat my son because of his identity in the first place.

Moving her gaze to Rutvias, the Chancellor's wife smiled slightly.

"So you can hang out as much as you want to chat, right?

It's a strong attitude you wouldn't even think of fine dust, such as Rutvias saying no.

Ruthless people can be lowered, but Ruthvias doesn't actually hate people like this. I feel better about my identity than I do about naughty people. I never thought Madame Chancellor was that kind of person.

Rutvias grinned and nodded.

"Yeah. I'll be happy to hang out with you"

"See?

The Chancellor's wife, who attached Rutvias' consent, makes her husband laugh and look at her, as she would tell him to look.

Look at that, Rutvias can't help but be funny. One side of Adeline, stubborn and forceful, that doesn't suit her face, would undoubtedly be her mother's concession.

"Rut."

Adeline pulled Rutvias' sleeve. The frowning troubled face is cute and troublesome.

"What's wrong?

"Are you sure? I'm busy..."

"The hurry thing is over. Don't worry about it."

When Rutvias answered that, Adaline relieved herself, her eyes narrowed and smiled.

"Good."

………

Take one breath in secret.

Had it not been for the Chancellor and his wife, he would probably have held them tight.

-... really... you can't be stupid. The one with romantic feelings...

It kicks gently across the sky, such as reason. Would it have been something where restraint would not have worked so far? "Before," I feel like I could have looked over myself more.

In the meantime, Rutvias handed over his near-kicked reason.

-... you're the only one I can count on.

At least stay put until the wedding is over. The wedding is in twenty days. It feels very long.

"Come on, Your Highness. I'll make you some tea. You, come on, sit down."

The Lady urges me, and the Chancellor leans on the round table with a body such as a reluctant one. Looks like he ended up drinking tea with us, too.

"That's what it's been like for a long time..."

"You don't look so good when you say things like that."

As we speak, love and trust are seeping out of them and their couples.

Rutvias once recalled that he had seen a very similar sight.

Reena, my mother, who was always looking at me, rolled star sugar in her mouth with a seemingly swinging face, and Richard next door, still looked at my wife with a seemingly swinging face.

There was even a moment of such a kind time for my parents, who were far from a peaceful couple life.

-... if you're alive...

If Leena were alive, if she were older with Richard, what would have happened?

"Rut, listen. It's weird when you're a mother."

When is Adeline due to all her parents? Her chatter sounded comfortable in her ears and Rutvias was at ease.

When both Riko and the wedding are over, let's visit my mother's grave again before it snows.

Make the star sugar a souvenir.

Adeline is sure to follow me.
