His Royal Highness's cats are very hairy.

Even if Rutvias and Bianca were attracted, let them respond calmly as queens.

Such was Adeline, ready to go to luncheon like a knight jumping into a war, but Bianca at the time, she was not in her luncheon seat.

Some imperial clerks are not guided by words, so all interpreters are supposed to attend, but one chair remains vacant. The meal started and I started hearing bickering everywhere, but Bianca wouldn't reveal herself.

"... so what do you think of Master Adeline?

"Huh? Ah... yes. I heard about it too..."

While talking to the Empire's assistant ambassador sitting across the street, Adaline couldn't help but worry about Bianca.

-... I wonder what's wrong...

I am honestly relieved that Rutvias and Bianca are likely to be missed without engaging. There was also the hindsight of being jealous at will and burning a sense of confrontation, and it was honestly awkward to face Bianca.

Thinking that Bianca, though, might have come to unfamiliar land and collapsed even in physical condition, gradually worries me inside Adeline.

"Adeline."

"Huh?"

Rutvias, sitting next to him, whispered in Adaline's ear.

"What happened to your friend?

All the interpreters and stubborn characters in the venue are men. Yesterday, Rutvias seems to have noticed that no woman fits the figure Adeline spoke to.

"I don't know. I thought it was exactly what was coming to this luncheon..."

"Well... maybe he fell ill, too."

Rutvias seems to have come to the same idea as Adeline. On its side, Adaline feels hooked and frowns.

"... you want to see me?

"... Huh?

Adeline asked Rutvias again, who asked him back in confusion.

"You want to see me?

……

Rutvias is solidified with a surprised face.

Would you like to see Bianca so much?

Indeed, the tribute to Bianca that Adeline spoke of last night would have sparked interest in Bianca. When I hear of a beautiful young woman, as a man, I may have no choice but to care. Even Adeline doesn't feel well when she shows up like that. Shouldn't my husband also take into account that the queen strives to be jealous?

Staring at Rutvias with an eye of condemnation, he seemed to be under barometric pressure, but immediately raised the edge of his mouth for fun.

"Are you jealous?

Next time, it was Adeline who was surprised and consolidated.

"... Huh?

"You think I'm gonna dictate that interpreter, don't you?

"Oh, no... we..."

It's not different, but admittedly, I felt like losing, and Adeline dyed her face bright red and denied it. But the more impatient Adeline is, the happier Rutvias seems. Adaline was frustrated that she didn't know why she seemed so happy.

"Don't be jealous. My Lady is all alone."

"Ya, I'm not jealous!!

Gatan, and Adeline gained momentum.

As soon as possible, the gaze around concentrates on Adeline.

"Ah..."

"Pfft..."

Rutvias' shoulder, which leaned next to him, was shaking fine. It's obvious you're laughing.

In his heart, Adeline grinned at the guests as he twisted Rutvias.

"Uh... eh. This baked confectionery is… not baked… eat it… before it's gone…"

"... Ugh!

Rutvias blows out in a grand way.

Covering his overturned face with one hand, he is holding back his laughter desperately as he trembles. I saw an illusion of a cat slipping off my head, hurrying and clinging to my shoulder.

To the great laughter of the righteous prince, the surroundings are indescribable strange faces.

-... rut's big idiot - - Huh!

To the point of clapping it out, the luncheon was peace itself.

"Adeline."

…

"Adeline?"

…

Ignoring the shoe sounds coming after him and the voice calling his name, Adeline proceeds through the marble hallway.

"Are you still mad at me?

Rutvias peered into her face from behind, and Adeline turned her face red.

"... I'm angry!

And he walked off abruptly, trying to earn a distance from Rutvias. Nonetheless, he can afford to stick perfectly behind Adeline.

"I apologize, it's time to get back in the mood"

The voice of apology said out loud that it was fun and irresistible. Adeline doesn't care about that. I moved my legs even faster so Rutvias wouldn't run me over.

"Adeline."

It's no use calling names in such a sweet voice. Adeline knows that she is deluding an unbitable laugh by coughing it up.

From the luncheon, Rutvias said it was in a good mood, and it's always been like this.

What was so much fun, Adeline bite her lips harshly.

-... make me one laugher!

It was the same this morning.

In preparation for breakfast, Rutvias looked around Adeline's neck with a giddy look and suddenly glanced at her with his fingers. Rutvias raised his voice and laughed at Adeline, who flew by surprise. 'There was garbage on it,' he said, but it's a suspicious place. Must be playing with Adeline as a toy.

All the different people looked back in surprise at the exchange between Adeline and Rutvias, who chased him fast. Rutvias for them is a behaved, quiet young man, and I guess he doesn't do anything childish like hanging out with his fiancée.

"Adeline."

…

"Adeline."

…

"Why don't you go to Shiva's?

"..."

Adeline stopped and turned around, staring at Rutvias.

-... because if you give me Shiva, you think I'll get back in the mood.

Rutvias' eyes glowed with pleasure with a gentle smile. I'm totally looking at Adeline's feet. That pisses me off again. I'm angry...

"... will you give me a ride?

Bozo, said Adeline. Adeline and Rutvias, who have found time to enjoy the far run of the sky since their first ride on Shiva, have been busy with their official duties lately and are very shabby.

The refreshment of cutting that wind. Rutvias' suggestion was an unbearable temptation for Adeline.

Rutvias chuckles, hands on his chest and bows his head respectfully.

"If the lady wishes, she'll be happy"

Rutvias' golden hair reflects a rush of light.

-... regret...

No matter how hungry you get, you can't beat Rutvias. Because there's no way you can ever be angry at someone so beautiful.

On a hand like the artwork offered, Adeline lay her own, albeit flashy.

At that time...

"Your Highness!"

"Aurio?"

With the paperwork in hand, Aurio came after me.

"What's wrong?

"We would like you to confirm this as soon as possible…"

Aurio glances at Adeline and then turns away. Realizing that, Rutvias took a few steps away from Adeline and turned his back and whispered something with Aurio and Hisohiso.

-... is that something I shouldn't hear?

I can barely understand government in the first place.

Rutvias, who took the paperwork given to him by Aurio, drops his eyes on it. And while I didn't have any, his expression clouded.

"... No way..."

Rutvias groans like a roar. Seeing that reaction, Aurio seems convinced of something.

"Again, do you?

"... check first. If you're someone else, this one will be ashamed if you move poorly."

"What will you do?

Rutvias didn't answer right away. It's unusual for him to be quick at everything and not sure how to handle it.

-... Something difficult may have happened to Lil 'Hazel...

"Um, rut."

Adeline took a step forward.

"I'll go back to my room. So..."

Too bad, but I can't help it. Let's take another opportunity. But Rutvias didn't nod.

"... No, I'll be right there, so stay in the stables first"

"... but..."

"Wait for me"

Adeline nodded bewildered in a strong tone to keep in mind.

"... Yes"

With her knees gently folded and her head lowered, Adaline walked down the hallway to the stables.

"Is something wrong?

A video following me leans my neck.

"I don't know... maybe something happened to Lil 'Hazel..."

The possibility of other problems does not come to Adaline's mind.

-... but speaking of which... I wonder what happened to the poison thing...

I haven't heard about Rutvias' meal being poisoned since he turned on the poisonous cook. When Adeline is in the royal palace, she usually eats with Rutvias, but Rutvias usually looks like she eats. Has the killer been caught? No, then there must be a word from Rutvias to Adeline.

-... he said he'd catch them by the ceremony...

I'd like to ask you what happened, but if you do that, they might think you're in a hurry, and I know how busy he's been lately, so I can't do that.

-... I can't help thinking about it.

Adeline regained her mind that Rutvias should wait for her.

"By the way, you're leaving tomorrow's bow club, too?

Over his shoulder, Adaline spoke to Lyle. Lyle doesn't move his expression as usual.

"Yes, on behalf of Troop III"

"He's nervous, not even in the pattern."

Deo laughs slightly.

"Really?

Adaline was surprised to see if even the calm Lyle could always be nervous.

"I will try not to embarrass you as the lady's knight"

Adeline and Deo laughed face-to-face at the seriously-looking words.

"You don't have to worry about that... but I'm here for you."

As I went down the stairs that exited the corridor, I saw a figure looking out at the garden in front.

A neat long, refreshing blue dress. In the long run, I can see that the person would be beautiful.

-... that's...

"Master Bianca?

Bianca turns this way as surprised.

"Lady..."

Adeline quickened her legs and approached her.

"What's going on here?

The corridor leading to the stables is not often used except by knights. What's more, knights often go directly from the garden to the stables, so there aren't many crowds. Adeline looked back on the path she had just taken.

-... good...

If the timing was not right, I would have almost engaged Rutvias and Bianca. Beyond this period, Adeline hopes she doesn't want us to see each other if she can. The stranger I am, the more afraid I am of engaging the two of them.

Bianca gently folded her knee and lowered her head.

"Be in a good mood for the lady."

"Thank you.... Um... I wasn't at the luncheon, so... I was worried. How are you feeling...?

As Adeline asked, Bianca laughed and shook her head.

"No. I'm in good health. It's just... I need a little help..."

With Bianca clouding her words, Adeline pinned. Bianca must have been seeing her lover.

-... it was. Bianca had a lover.

It occurred to me, and Adaline's mind rapidly became lighter.

No matter how beautiful Bianca is, Rutvias would never glance at a woman with a lover in the side room.

-... I wonder what you were worried about.

I even took the liberty of being jealous and did something sorry for Bianca. While reflecting, interest brings a head in Adeline.

"What is Bianca's lover like?

"Huh?"

Bianca's shoulder jumped.

I'm her lover, so she must be a great man.

"I thought that the people you knew who taught me the language of Rude Saxony were really lovers. You weren't at the luncheon because you were seeing that person, right?

"Yes, no... Um..."

Bianca was clearly upset. My hand on my mouth is shaking small.

"Um, is the lady... asking you something...?

"Huh? Something...?

I don't know what Bianca's question means. I wonder who and what you're asking.

Bianca laughed hastily as she seemed to perceive Adeline's confusion.

"Oh, no, I'm sorry. Ask me something weird... it can't be..."

Is it to calm down, Bianca exhaled deeply once.

"... as the lady guesses. I want to see someone, but I haven't. I can't see you.... because that person is no longer my lover"

"Huh..."

Lonely, Bianca smiled.

"I've done terrible things... and I don't have a face to make you see me. I'd really like to apologize, but I'm sure you won't even listen to me. Because he's a stubborn man. … so I was wondering if I could just look healthy from afar…"

Adeline's chest hurts when Bianca lays down her eyes. Bianca still thinks of her former lover.

"To me... is there anything I can do?

To Adeline's offer, Bianca turned her eyes round.

"Huh?"

"Master Bianca... aren't you still in the mood? If the other person serves the royal palace, it's slight, but I can see my face, so I can set up a seat so that we can talk slowly."

……

Bianca is speechless and stands up in a stunned manner. The way it looked, Adaline became anxious. Did I say something unsolicited? It could have been annoying for Bianca.

"Master Bianca?... Um?

"... looking at the lady... I feel like I know... I'm going to"

"Huh?"

"How stupid I was..."

Bianca leaned down. Dark hair flows and hides her expression.

-... are you crying?

What should I call you?

"Dear Bianca..."

"... sorry"

Wiping his eyes, Bianca, with her face up, was already laughing.

"The lady and Her Royal Highness seem friendly. I don't think it's a political marriage."

"Huh?"

"You like it, don't you?

"... Oh, um...?

I wonder why Bianca thinks so. Sure, Adeline is in love with Rutvias, but why did she think she likes it, etc, when she should never have seen Rutvias? As Adeline tilted her neck, Bianca said, pointing right under her own ear.

"There's a mark on his neck."

"... and then?

Adeline followed with her hands the neck muscles Bianca showed.

-... of what...

Speaking of which, in the morning, Millet called out 'Fair enough'. And put your hands together to tie Adeline's hair, neck muscles with white powder...

"... ah"

Like a lightning strike, Adeline remembered. That Rutvias dropped his mouth there last night.

Her body boiled instantly, and Adeline's face stained with apple color.

"Ko, this is... no, it's not!

Deny, but deny, they suspect infidelity, hastily deny denial.

"No! I'm not... Oh, uh... eh!

It's a mayhem in my head. I no longer even know what I'm denying right now. Bianca shrugged and shook her shoulder with pleasure at such an Adeline appearance.

"It's okay. It's well hidden in white powder, so if you don't look closely, you won't notice."

"... Oh, yeah, right..."

Katsun, and the shoe sounds, and Adeline turns her face.

In the cobblestone corridor, there was Rutvias.

"Rut!"

I thought it would take longer, but have I talked to Aurio enough?

"... rut?

Rutvias does not answer Adeline's call. Something's wrong. Instead of having a hard expression, all of the emotions are shredding off my face. Not even the cat was found overhead.

-... my eyes...

Like ice, cold.

Why are you looking at me like that? With those eyes, who the hell are you looking at...

"… I'll be the first to see you. His Royal Highness Prince Rutvias"

To Bianca's voice, Adeline turns her around. With his left hand on his chest and his right hand on the hem of the dress, he folded his knee deep and Bianca deep and bowed his head.

It is a most graceful and perfect salute, reminiscent of a swan standing down on the ground.

"I'm here from the Empire. My name is Bianca Mhambra and I'm an interpreter. We would like to congratulate you on your wedding and celebration."

"... I am delighted to congratulate you"

I felt Rutvias' voice tremble slightly, and Adeline looked at him. But I don't see the cold eyes anywhere earlier, and the cat is smiling softly, as she boasts a splendid hairline. Was it all a mistake to see Adeline?

"Are you referring to her as the interpreter who became the friend you were talking about? Adeline."

"Huh? Ah... yeah. Really?"

"I see, you're certainly beautiful. I can't help but like you. [M] Miss Bianca, thank you for being so close to Adeline."

Bianca replied, keeping her head down.

"It's a good word for you."

Adeline was feeling an unspeakable strange discomfort. I feel like I'm watching a bad play. But Bianca's attitude is impeccable as a courtesy to the first-person royalty, and Rutvias is, as usual, the perfect cat wearer. When it's strange here, there's nowhere I can point out my fingers.

-... of, because of?

Were you feeling watching Bianca with cold eyes because of Rutvias' vigilance towards the first person you met?

"Now, if you'll excuse me. It was an honor to greet you."

Bianca stepped back a few steps with her head down, and when she turned her back curly, she went down the corridor without looking back.

The side of Rutvias I said was still dropping off Bianca's back.

-... what are you thinking?

My heart shook. What is this anxiety? Yes, I thought I shouldn't let Rutvias and Bianca see each other so much, but in the end, they met. Or so, something didn't even happen, but I find that odd the other way around.

"... Um... rut?

Rutvias turns this way.

"What's up?

Rutvias is smiling. The cat wears it, but Adeline can't ask anything about the look of tenderness seeping through her eyes. If I ask you anything now, and if I hear Rutvias' answer to that, I feel the relationship between Adeline and Rutvias will change. Adeline has no idea if that change is a good one for their relationship or fatal.

In the first place, what should I ask?

"... yeah... anything..."

Adeline leaned down.

If he finds anyone in his eyes but himself...

I was afraid of that, and Adaline couldn't keep an eye on Rutvias that day.
