His Royal Highness's cats are very hairy.

"... let's go in the back"

……

Instead of replying, Adeline turned her hand around Rutvias' neck.

Rutvias' arm goes around his back and his other slips under his knees. I've been transported to do that a few times, but I've never seen his side as much as I did tonight.

I stopped Rutvias from wanting me to be a little more from myself, but Adeline was starting to regret it sooner. Something confuses my mind that I don't care if I am glad after using water or if I apply better fragrance oil. No, I thought I'd rather expose such a poor body to Rutvias, and now I want to escape saying what a daring thing I've done.

The hand that turned on Rutvias' neck trembles.

-... what shall we do...

Now, there's no way I can tell you to stop. Adeline desperately told herself that the wedding night had just come earlier than she thought. Sooner or later, you're going to be his wife.

As Adeline's body was lowered to the bedroom, Rutvias reached for and pulled on a string that would wrap up the tent. The tent descends with a heavy noise and covers the sleeping area.

-......... I knew I couldn't!!!

"Le, rut! Um..."

"So? What happened?

"Huh?"

Rutvias sat down next to Adeline.

"... what...?

"I thought something was going on? So, you can't sleep, huh?

……

Apparently Rutvias interpreted Adeline's words' Stay a little longer 'as' Sleepless'.

"... well, fine. Go to sleep."

Make sure you're pushed into Rutvias' hands, and Adeline's head sinks into the pillow.

"Look, hands"

"Hands?"

Rutvias shook that hand as Adeline reached out as prompted.

"... lt"

"Hmm?"

"... what are you doing?

"Why don't you hold hands if you can't sleep? My mother used to do it for me."

………

I mean, he seems to have carried me to the bedroom, to put Adeline to sleep. She looked like an idiot to herself, who was nervous and stiff, and Adeline pulls the cloth off her hanging cloth and wears it softly to her head.

"... idiot..."

You've been so brave. No, I regretted it immediately, but is it possible to carry a woman sideways to her bedroom and not touch one finger?

-... no... to me... I'm not attracted enough!

Can't you hold hands because you can't sleep, treating young children? I mean, Rutvias still doesn't see Adeline as a woman.

To the fact of the shock that had arrived, Adeline fell violently in the hanging cloth.

"... because you were shaking?

"... Huh?

To the whining of Rutvias, who has fallen bossy, Adeline faces only a little out of the hanging cloth. Rutvias laughed a little troubled and looked down at Adeline.

"I'm not a kid, and at this hour, in that situation, my fiancée's holding me back for a little bit longer, and I can't possibly make a difference, can I?... but you're scared?

Adeline got lost. I got lost, I nodded.

"... sorry"

"Something's happened, isn't it?

"Huh?"

"So you didn't even ask me out like that?

"Seduce......"

To the destructive power of the word, Adeline was defeated. As a lady, I am reminded that I made an improbable mistake. It turned bright red and ran into the cloth again.

"... I'm sorry..."

"You won't tell me what happened..."

To a slightly discouraged voice, Adeline objected from inside the hanging cloth.

"... chi, no. It's not like I can't tell you because I don't trust Ruto... there really was nothing there. It's just... it's a matter of my heart... and that... rush..."

"A rush?"

"Um... um... me..."

I think of Bianca. I envied people and I should have stopped despising myself already. But only a beautiful man would still be able to keep that beauty in front of him without envy.

"I... I knew it would be a little more... I wish it was beautiful..."

When Adeline squeaks, suddenly the hanging cloth is brutally peeled off.

"Geez... I was there. I was just!

You still think that?

Relentlessly pulled his nose, Adeline raises the white flag as soon as possible.

"Sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Come on. Get out of here. Yeah!

Trying to play Adeline's reddened nose, Rutvias let go of his finger.

"Terrible good"

Adeline strokes her stinging nose with her fingertips. I was completely alarmed because I was far from being punished by self-denial remarks.

"Because I'm being stupid. I'll stretch it out one of these days, really."

"Stop it!

To Rutvias, who tries to pinch his nose, Adeline screamed and fled to the edge of the bedroom. Cook, Rutvias laughs.

"Fine, go to sleep."

"... are you bored anymore?

"I won't. Unless you're stupid."

Rutvias called me back with the cloth.

"... rut... don't you sleep?

"I'll be back in my room when you're asleep"

Does that mean you're going to be there until Adeline falls asleep?

Keep the black mourning, I'm sure you'll be tired. Secondly, Adaline came up with a good idea.

"Hey, you want to sleep with me?

"............ what?

"It's okay, the sleeping area is huge. I don't mind sleeping with the Minister. Long clothes are out of the way, so let's take them off, shall we? Yu Ami can do it tomorrow morning."

When Adaline gets up, she quickly reaches for Rutvias' long coat. But Rutvias left his body in a hurry.

"Hey, wait!

"Huh? What?

"What are you thinking? You must be scared, huh?

"'Cause Ruto wouldn't do anything, would he?

"Don't... don't..."

"Then I'm not afraid. Shall we sleep together?

…………

You noticed, weakened Rutvias takes off his long clothes while being made Adeline.

"Come on, go ahead"

"... excuse me..."

Rutvias lay next to Adeline in the condition of taking off his shoes and approximating.

"You kind of freak me out! Is this what staying with your friends looks like? I actually admired it!

"... Friends..."

"Millet often chatted until morning without sleeping on the same bed as his friends and cousins."

Gabba Rutvias wakes up half of his body.

"... you must not have slept on the same bunk with Aurio!?

"O, with Aurio!?

Adeline peeled her eyes from the sky. Why does Aurio come out here? But Rutvias is an extremely serious face.

"You just said cousin!?

"That's Millet's story... in the same bedroom as Aurio... no way... wow, because I'm, uh... l 'm a rut..."

Adeline turned bright red and hid her face with the hands of those who were not connected to Rutvias.

"It's rut... together..."

I've never slept on the same bunk as my heterosexual Aurio, though my cousin. I need to be clear there, and Adeline, desperately elucidating, was being held by Rutvias as to why.

"... Le, rut?

Didn't you do nothing? Nervous, my body hardened again. Such a voice of Adeline's heart seemed to Rutvias to hear.

"... don't worry, I won't do anything"

To a low sounding voice in his ear, Adeline trembled with Zokri. No heart or my body gets hot.

Slightly, Rutvias let himself go just a little. That looks a little bitter.

"... uh... shit... it's a life kill..."

"Hey, Namazoshi...?

Why does such a noisy topic arise?

Rutvias smiles bitterly and bumps his own forehead against Adeline's forehead.

"Be prepared when the ceremony is over."

"... me, are you going to be killed alive?

"... no. Fool."

Looks like fun, Rutvias laughed. That smile also relieves Adeline's nervousness.

Then they enjoyed chatting for a long time. I anticipated the story of a blue-tugged chick hatched from an egg, and what the hell Mrs. Riohersh's "Water Talk" was about, and Adeline deliberately stuck her own foot to Rutvias' foot, which she didn't like. Cold, I couldn't wait for Rutvias to make a scene and laughed out loud.

How long, I would have done that.

"Adeline? Did you sleep?

Adeline tried to respond to the voice she asked, but she couldn't. Her eyelids were heavy and she didn't lift, and her body was dominated by drowsiness.

"Mmm..."

With a slight pain in her neck, Adaline twisted herself.

"... good night"

I still couldn't reply. But I feel Rutvias' arm hugging Adeline, rubbing her cheeks against its warmth. I heard Rutvias poisoned 'dammit' and wondering what he was angry about, I was anxious, but soon there were signs that he laughed small and mouthed Adeline's hair.

-... I wasn't angry...

I'm sure my hair got hooked on something, or something like that. Rest assured, Adeline pulled her strength out of her body.

Right next to you, there is the warmth of Rutvias. I feel like I'm breathing.

Happy, I thought you might stop breathing.

I wish I had stopped.

………

To the strong rain sound, Adeline woke up. Stretch your fingers and look for remnants of your dreams, but there is no Rutvias warmth anywhere. Dressed and anxious, tears fall to the floor.

Don, and the door slammed rampantly, and Adeline jumped up. Attract a hanging cloth that is hard to say clean, and back up to the wall as you sit down.

The door opened and Mellows turned up. - I slashed Lyle, that's the guy.

"Rice. Eat."

When the wooden vessel and the spoon are set aside to throw on the floor, Mellows slammedly closes the door again. Hearing the footsteps go away, Adeline stroked her chest down with relief.

More than half of the soup in the vessel is zero on the floor, and only a few can drink it. Approaching it to crawl, holding the vessel and the spoon to his chest, Adaline hurried back to the corner of the original room. Soup, like just mixed with dried meat and potatoes in water, could not be said to be delicious, but it is a precious food for Adeline.

"... I wonder how many days it's been..."

About half an hour's ride from the back gate, Adeline was unloaded from the carriage and locked in this room. Probably around the outskirts of the King's Capital. As you can see outside, there are no windows in the crude room, just a little light coming in from the gaps in the trees. Even that light is very much not a satisfactory light because of the rain that continues from the night of its exposures. Adeline, who didn't even know if it was night or day and could only sleep intermittently due to even more extreme tension, had no more sense of time. I'm also not sure if the meal is served once a day or three meals. I don't even feel hungry, but still my instincts reach out when I see food in front of me.

There's nothing in the room. The floor is full of dust. Seeing where the straw chips are falling, it's probably like a barn no longer used by farmers. There is also rain leakage everywhere, and a sudden breeze blows. Without bedding or other furniture, Adeline was spending her time wrapping a cloth around her body like a given blush, getting smaller in the corner of the room.

I hear there are men across the hallway, across the diagonal room, who have taken Adeline. I can faintly speak, but I don't know what I'm talking about.

"... cold..."

Rude succeed has a severe temperature difference day and night. Even in summer, nights and mornings get cold. Besides, it's this rain. It was cold when I did the room with Adeline, partly because of the lack of sun.

-... if Master Bianca...

Bianca wouldn't have gotten caught like this. On the contrary, I could have defeated the men enough. If you get caught, you'll be able to see the gap and escape.

-... you can't cancel your engagement... even if I want to...

I'm sure Rutvias is looking for Adeline. He can't be abandoned, even by someone who would disengage and become irrelevant. That's who I am.

-... but...

Even if Rutvias does not abandon Adeline, some of the ministers may say they will abandon him. The Chancellor wouldn't just say that, but it wasn't surprising that he chose the national interest over the life of his daughter, who has always made the country take precedence over personal affair.

-... being taken hostage... there's no way you can abandon your inheritance as the killer demanded.

That would shake the backbone of the country. It could be said that RUDE SUCCEET is the country where thieves speak. For the sake of the majesty of the country, even my father resented the choice to abandon my daughter. Wouldn't it be a big fight with my mother, that's all I'm worried about? If the Chancellor decides that's the case, Rutvias won't be able to strongly oppose it either.

"... sorry, rut..."

Tears seeped.

If I had known it would cause trouble in this way, I would have dissolved my engagement sooner. Wouldn't he be cursed that he abandoned his fiancée to protect his inheritance rights? If I were to discredit his reputation in the future, I wouldn't die.

Suddenly, something cracked and Adeline shook up.

"You said it! With that woman as a shield, the prince must move!

"That's why I'm telling you to wait! There are still days till Tachiko!

"Mostly because you don't just poison the prince..."

"That's what I want to say! Did you forget I said that I would always have a prince at the Bow Club!

You seem to be yelling pretty loud, and I can hear exactly what you're saying.

-... broken company?

Does that mean the negotiations are not going well?

Severe noises are still going on as well. Maybe they're working together.

"Ghaaaaaa!

I screamed and suddenly became quiet.

"... what?

I wonder what the hell happened.

To see how things were going, Adeline approached the door. When I gently put my ear on the door, I hear a faint but talking voice.

"What are you gonna do! If I kill this guy, I'll pay the guys outside..."

"The fact that he's one of us is all over the royal palace! Either way, no more money from this guy!

My heart pulsed cold. Someone was killed after a dispute. And that someone, from the flow of the story, can guess it's that arb. I can't sympathize. But Adaline was upset by the death of a man who knew his face.

-... but it means one less of their people...

Then you might be able to escape. In Adaline's ear, with a slight hope, a rattle and the door of the room across the street arrived. And multiple footsteps approaching.

"... coming this way...!

Adeline hurries back to her fixed position, squatting. The door to the room opened abusively. Mellows and two men, as they entered the room, looked down at Adeline.

"... do it"

When Mellows - he's apparently the head - squeezed his jaw, one of the men grabbed Adeline's arm and the other pulled his sword out of his sheath.

"No! Stop!!

I think they're going to kill me, and Adeline turns around trying to escape, but there's no way she's going to fight a tough guy. I closed my eyes with fear on a cold, glowing blade. But the pain I was prepared for didn't come, instead I heard a vid, cut fabric from around my sleeve.

…

Opening one eye roughly, the man had the sleeve of Adeline's dress. The moment I thought about what I was going to use such a thing for, I slashed Adaline's arm so that the blade flowed.

"Yi... eh"

The man wipes the potato and flowing blood with a slice of the dress.

"It would be like that. Let the royal palace deliver it."

Mellows says, the men nod and leave Adeline. Apparently he was waiting outside the hallway. Someone, the man gave him a bloody wet clip.

"I thought I could get that prince to abandon her right to inherit the throne quickly... there could be no fool to abandon the throne for a woman. I was the fool who really took what he said."

Mellows laughed with his nose. Does such a guy mean Arb?

"Apparently, the Royal Palace is willing to abandon you. It's only been three days, and instead of relinquishing your inheritance rights, there's not even a postponement of the standing ovation ceremony. I wish I had seen the bloodstained fracture earlier and rushed into action."

"... what do you mean?

Feeling that there was something in Mellows' mouth to include, Adeline asked. Like I said I was waiting for that, Mellows looks happy.

"If the royal palace still doesn't move, I'm going to send those ears next with beautiful gems hanging around. Fingers next. Send every single bottle, every day... well, how many fingers do I have left?"

Kuck, Mellows laughs. As if, I can't wait to hear it.

The two and the anger that was smoking in Adeline outweighed the fear.

"... you think I'm gonna cry scared?

"What?"

Mellows flashed his cheeks. Maybe Adaline was waiting for him to beg for his life with fear.

Adeline stares at Mellows from the bottom. I would never beg such a cowardly man for his life.

"What's the purpose? To Ruto... let His Royal Highness Rutvias abandon his inheritance, and what do you want?

"Take it out of the reign of the Empire!

A man who was near the door said.

"Abolish that hipster king and the prince handsomed by the Empire and set up a new king who will not yield to the Empire!

"That's right. And take back His Majesty Albuquerque's mighty, proud Rude Saxony from the time of his death!

I saw some sort of crest on the patterned head of the sword held by the highly-spoken Merrows.

-... that's...

Royal crest of rude succeeds with an iconic bow and a celestial horse. Adeline was stunned.

-... these people... they were knights...

Only a knight who has sworn allegiance to the goddess and the royal family has a sword that has been loosened the royal crest. But the men see a rough life, and they don't look very much like they belong to a disciplined knighthood. I hear that after the death of the former king, Richield's eulogy and disarmament to the Empire were unacceptable, and that there are numerous people who escaped from the Knights. Maybe they are such former knights.

If so, Adeline couldn't forgive them more and more for doing this. They are trying to hurt Lyle, who is supposed to be one of them, threaten Rutvias, the lord who has sworn allegiance, and discredit the rude succeeds to defend.

Adeline stood up.

"Rude, you say it's for the sake of succeeding... but doing it is no different than being a cowardly bandit."

"What?"

In the eyes of the men, the anger lights up in an instant.

"We truly love Rude Saxony, but therefore..."

"That's right! We're fighting for Rude Saxony!

Adeline kicked the sudden men.

"Take it off the reign of the Empire? You're going to wage war again, a new king? Where's that money? Having the compensation for the defeat split, the state finances are finally in place!? You finally set fire to the fields where the wheat was fruitful and let the farmers hold their swords again!? What you are doing will not destroy this country..."

Bang, and Mellows' sheath struck Adeline in the stomach. To the pain and shock, Adeline rolls round to the floor.

"..."

"I don't know anything. My little girl looks great!

The sheath, now punched him in the back.

"... Huh!

Eat and bind teeth and swallow screams. Something that would definitely scream.

"... rescheduled."

Mellows grabbed his head up for each hair as he approached Adeline, who was falling.

"..."

"The next thing you send me is a dress."

Mellows' raw, warm breath rested on his neck, and Adeline fought. Mellows laughs contentedly when he sees Adeline's face distorted by fear.

"What will the prince think when he sees a dress that has been tragically mutilated?"

That said, when I grab Adeline's dress chest with my thick fingers, I slit it all at once.

"- Hey do it!!!

Mellows struck the floor with momentum as Adeline tried to escape. It makes my head tease and I can't move.

"Yeah, yeah, that's how you grow up."

"... YAY, YAY!!

The moment he was caught in the ankle, Adaline screamed. Tears abound. He kicked Mellows in the ass with a selfless obsession, crawling and trying to escape, but quickly weighed himself on the back. I can't move.

"Hey, hold your feet"

The men's inferior laughter. The sound of the hips being untied. A tangled gaze that feels on a stripped shoulder.

-... rut!!!

I thought it was better to die. The moment I covered my trembling jaw trying to bite off my tongue.

The carriage hit the wall, I thought. There was such a loud noise that the room itself swayed slightly. Someone's screaming something. "Wait" and "Hurry up". Then rushed footsteps. Those sounds approached Adeline's room before Mellows, who were covered in Adeline's body, woke up... The door was kicked from the hallway side. The door, which had a hinge and turned into just a broken plate, once sounded and dusted, fell. Dust fell from the ceiling and straw chips broke out. From beyond, a person wearing a coal coat from his head steps into the room loosely. Blonde hair peeking from her coat shines like a prominent moon, even in dark places, from which raindrops fall like tears.

"... l... t...?

As I replied, Bea's eyes revealed themselves from under her blonde hair.
