His Royal Highness's cats are very hairy.

It was a cold day.

The sky is blue, well sunny but the temperatures are hard to rise.

A cold wind with signs of winter peels the red-stained leaves off the branches of the trees.

"It's cold today"

They say it snowed in the mountainous regions of the north.

"Well, already?

In a room in the royal palace, famous ladies with high-ranking officials in their husbands gather to blossom in chatter.

Surrounded by them, Adeline smiled.

"When it snows, we'll have a tea party for Snow Watch. We'll have something to treat you to the snow."

Rutvias has been a standing child for 2 months.

Adaline, who moved to the Royal Palace, remains the "fiancé of the Crown Prince," but performs official duties as a substantial Crown Princess.

There was also a tea party today as part of its official duties. It is also the duty of the Crown Princess to hold regular tea parties and interact with the ladies.

Everyone on the spot nodded Nico to Adeline's words.

"It's nice. Please don't hesitate to invite us."

"I look forward to winter thanks to you."

"I hate to be cold, though."

"Oh."

Hoho, and open a fan with decorations, and the ladies hide their mouths.

Covering her mouth with a fan just like they did, she made it look like she was smiling ya, and in the shadow of it, Adeline was opening and closing her mouth wide, relaxing her cheek muscles.

(Ho, my cheeks hurt...)

Every face sitting on a large round table is older than Adeline. Included among them is someone who mocked Adeline, who was previously about to be dissolved from her engagement from Rutvias - she apparently wanted her daughter to be the Crown Princess.

There were circumstances like that, and Adeline was actually nervous about the bees.

I haven't lost my mind for a while, and I've been smiling since the tea party started, so my facial muscles are complaining about the pain.

At times like this, I really want to get a cat from over Rutvias' head.

Nevertheless, he doesn't wear cats unless he is also a guest from various foreign countries these days.

(... oh?)

Adeline wanted to see what she saw at the edge of her sight and turned her face to the window.

The ladies who saw it look out the window like they were chasing them.

Adeline and the others are upstairs in the inner courtyard on the north side.

On top of not being a very large garden, however hard the gardeners work this season, the garden will be filled with fallen leaves.

There were several poor flowers blooming on the hedge of that garden that seemed unseen, such as the sights.

(cute...)

I was soothed by the flowers, and Adeline's heart, which was nervous and beefy, was just a little loose.

"You have unusual flowers blooming."

Mrs. Riohersh, sitting next to Adeline, whines with a face like she found the treasure.

"What flower basket do you know?

Adeline asked Mrs. Riohersh back.

The white flowers blooming in the garden look like tsubaki or rose, albeit farsighted, with multiple petals overlaid.

What a flower.

"Leaves are similar to camellias..."

Mrs. Riohersh tilts her neck.

The white flowers quickly took the subject of the Tea Party.

"Could there have been any white camellias?

"Come on... the camellia in my mansion is a red petal"

"Isn't it Tsubaki?

"In a little rose?

"Roses don't bloom this season, do they?

Mrs Riohersh said a farewell as the ladies anticipated it orally.

"Sounds like it's going to go well with the lady's treat today."

To that one word, his gaze gathered all the way to Adeline, and Adeline accidentally stood up.

"Uh... Um"

Adeline's costume today is a dull peach colour close to white, a colour like that represented by 'Adeline Colour'.

It was a slightly darker coloured yarn, embroidered with floral patterns on the hem and sleeves, but without any decorations on the chest, a costume with pearls lowered from the neck and light peach coral necklaces in the lead.

The ladies nod at each other.

"Sure. It would look good on your hair."

"True. Today's meal is lovely too, my lady"

"These days," Adeline Colour "has become popular in the Empire."

"The poor charm of the young lady has attracted the attention of royalty from other countries."

"Oh, um... oh, no..."

Adeline mumbles. I don't know what to say, cold sweat seeps into my forehead. Again, I'm not good at socializing.

(But we have to work hard!)

As Rutvias' fiancée, you have to be grand.

"Oh, look at that. Ladies and gentlemen"

One lady points out the window again.

There was no one in the garden, there were people.

The person with bright blonde hair and a blue-blue coat can't be mistaken for a backward look. It's Rutvias.

"His Royal Highness the King."

"Well."

I wonder what happened to your administration.

Your ladies turn colored.

It turns out Rutvias was wearing a cat, and many women in the court fell asleep, but most of them recover early and look forward to seeing Rutvias again.

These days, a few young ladies say, 'I want to be looked at with that cold stream'. Hearing the story from a woman official, Adaline became somewhat anxious about her country's court. I am worried about the fate of this country.

(rut... what is it?)

Adaline stood up and stopped by the window.

Without noticing Adeline, Rutvias goes Zunzun through a garden full of fallen leaves and stops in front of the hedge. He then reached for the hedge and picked the white flowers slightly at his disposal.

When Rutvias returns his heels, he returns the way he came as the samurai and knights rushed after him. After that, the samurai and knights still rushed after them, and again, there was no one in the garden.

……

……

"... don't be too busy."

Potsuri and Mrs. Riohersh groan and the surrounding ladies snort silently.

"... because I'm a bad person"

Adeline laughed bitterly and sat back in her own chair.

(... It's rare)

It is rare for Rutvias to show an interest in flowers. A woman always adorns his room with seasonal flowers, but Rutvias doesn't even look at them much.

Do you like white flowers?

I wonder what those picked flowers will do.

Will I decorate the room? Just one round, because I feel kind of lonely...

When Adeline thought about it, the noise became louder and louder across the door.

I don't know what happened, when I tried to call Millet. The sound of the woman's succession sounded a little rushed.

His Royal Highness Prince Wang is here.

'Huh?' and everyone who was on the spot rounded their eyes.

Rutvias was in the garden just now. In time, I can only assume I went from the garden to the stairs and came straight here.

It was at the same time that Adeline rose again from her chair and the door opened. The ladies get up in a hurry, gently fold their knees and bow their heads. Even so, they were secretly observing Rutvias.

Rutvias doesn't smile, he doesn't look grumpy and frowning, he just walks straight towards Adeline with a quiet look.

On your hands, a white circle of flowers that were blooming in the garden.

Adeline breathed into that sight, which was too picturesque.

Rutvias, whose hair has grown only slightly, is turning into an atmosphere like that of previous priests, wrapped in luster. I find myself a little tired in government, and that was an unspeakable attraction.

(…… the painting name "Moon Incarnation and a Round of Flowers" …)

How about decorating the walls of your own room, no, on the ceiling of your bedroom? That way, I'm sure you'll be able to dream of Rutvias every night.

(... No, you can't)

Adeline rethinks. I can't sleep because I can't see it in the picture, and I have a chronic sleep deprivation.

I started to wake up in the royal palace and spent more time with Rutvias. Come on, I thought I'd gotten used to his beauty, but he's still not used to it.

My future husband stops right in front of Adeline as she moves her thoughts around this.

"Oh, you know. Le...... Your Highness? What's the matter, sir?

Concerned about his surrounding gaze, Adeline refrained from calling Rutvias nicknamed as usual.

Rutvias was silent. Silent, overlooking Adeline.

(... or maybe I should have called it 'rut' after all...)

Cold sweat seeps through Adeline's forehead again.

"Next time you call me" Your Highness, "I'll say it on the big stairs."

The horrendous punishment Rutvias had previously spoken of while mouthing Adeline's hair is overwhelming.

No way, and Adeline swallowed. Haven't I had an irrevocable lapse?

Rutvias' hand grows more and more, and Adeline finds herself frightened to be taken to the great staircase.

But Rutvias just softly plugged the flowers he had into his braided hair over Adeline's ears.

"... eh"

Don't move.

Short orders.

His long fingers wrap Adeline's cheeks and make her face rise gently.

The emerald eyes, peering into Adeline to confirm, melted gently and glowed.

"... All right"

Satisfied, Rutvias raised the corner of his mouth.

And turn your back on Adeline with a curl.

"... interrupted"

Rutvias passed past Stasta and the ladies and left the room intact.

……

……

……

……

……

……

……

"... Huh?

What? Right now.

Mrs. Riohersh opens her mouth modestly.

"... Your Highness... must have seen those flowers and thought they would look good on the lady"

…………

Adeline couldn't answer.

I guess that means Mrs Riohersh is right.

I wonder what. This embarrassment is like being twitched and roasted.

The next step in pickling honey is steaming...... no, smoked?

Which would be less burdensome on the heart than being mouthed on a large staircase.

"... huf"

One lady laughs. From there, huffle, and a warm laugh spread on the spot.

"She's kind of cute."

"Being friendly and envious"

"I hope the wedding dates are set soon."

Covering her blushing face with a fan, Adeline pushes her words out of her mouth in the mood to bite her teeth.

"Oh, yes... thank you..."

After that, Adeline was asked by the intriguing ladies to dig roots and leaves with Rutvias, and she didn't have time to recall how bad she was at socializing.

The petals that fell from the white flowers were in the form of circles or hearts.
