In your head, the bell of victory rings.

I don't know what it is, but Edgar-sama is here to help!

I can't resist this offer!

First of all, information sharing! I explained to Edgar what happened after I returned from the quartet - except for Lord Kilgren's gift to my father."Enoch, you've largely omitted it."

I also talked about the results of my brother's permission to take a walk in this garden, and finally asked him to give me an oral explanation in order to do something about my brother.

I was wondering how you'd help me, but my brother would have listened to Edgar-sama.

Activate the power of Esfian Number 2 on your brother!

After listening, Edgar blurred his burnt brown eyes.Looks like he's thinking "Mmm."

Eventually, Master Edgar opened his mouth.

"I don't mind mouthing, but...."

The bell of victory rings again.A golden sparkling paper blizzard was added as an effect.

There's a problem.

"I don't think Celius will change his mind."

Master Edgar was ruthless.The bell of victory became, um, the bell of victory.

"If there are other problems, even if you can do something by mouth, this time...First, we need to clear Alderton of suspicion. "

For a moment, I almost missed Edgar-sama's usual words.

I mean, this mouth.

"- Does Edgar believe Clifford's innocence?"

"I know very little about the Knight of the Guard, so I'm just weighing on the fact that Octavia made an alliance.And now that I've decided to help, I need to stand on this side. "

"... it might be the opposite of my father."

"I think Enoch is neutral, but even if he's in the opposite position, isn't it good sometimes?I won't break the relationship I've had. "

Even if there is something you can't tell your father, Edgar-sama, who can say it lightly, is strong.

Shall I tidy up?

Edgar enumerates my requests one by one.

"Alderton... liberates the Knight of the Guard.Removal of Octavia's travel and visitation restrictions, resumption of official duties - you were scheduled to visit the castle the day after tomorrow.--No, I heard that Celius was supposed to do this visit on my behalf..... "

"Did my brother represent you on the inspection?But normally.... "

That's a reasonable postponement.

That's right! My brother rejected my visit, but I'm afraid it's going to be postponed...

I haven't heard anything about my brother going without a postponement...!

Inspection, I'm not giving up!Your visit to the castle is full of dreams!Although it is official business, it is also my pleasure in terms of being able to touch the life of Ichii.

We need to be clear.

He looked back.

The best people to question are kept away.

The knight of the black-haired guard, Hugh Roberts.

Would you like me to call?

I asked Hugh, who had his head hanging in front of him.

"Raise your face. I need to ask you something.Edgar-sama told me.Is it true that my brother will take over the inspection that I was going to do? "

…………

Hugh looks at Edgar-sama.Edgar-sama smiled back.

"I'd like to hear the exact same thing.If it's a mistake in memory, I would have told Octavia a lie. "

The push of Esfian Number 2 has no effect!

I have no choice but to feel like it, but Hugh with his eyes down opened his mouth.

"... His Highness Celius has decided to take his place."

"Shouldn't I have said something at the time of the decision?"

There were all kinds of arrangements and preparations!Choose a place to go or a shop!

I mean it every time I'm on the verge of shortness of breath!Twenty percent motivation!

Is that so?

"My brother and I have different types of official duties, right?It should be the right thing to do to change the date. "

The difference between the roles of princes and princesses.Even if it's a surrogate, I can still tell between the princes.Alec is acting for his brother, or vice versa.However, it is basically not my brother or Alec who acts on my behalf.Well, there are no exceptions, such as in a time of necessity or an emergency, but official inspection duties do not get into it.It was arranged with plenty of room.

It's weird not to postpone it!

"--Or is that why you can't postpone it?"



I'm holding back this morning!Hugh hit the question from the feeling of wandering around.I didn't miss the reaction Hugh couldn't conceal.

"You have a reason."

…………

Silent Hugh. I have a hunch that this place is tingling and will open the way.

"Why would my brother dare to take over the inspection I was supposed to do?"

…………

Hmm. The princess doesn't have power.

Hugh of Continuity and Silence. It's still my brother's heart.I will not betray my brother.

I stared at Hugh.I can't do anything with the pressure of my gaze...

Unless there's a crack in my brother's relationship with Hugh...My brother Hugh trusted me so much, that's why he gave me the Knight of the Guard.

Moreover, it is not only politely verbally written, but also formally written that "I will leave Hugh to the knight of my guard for a while."It arrived first thing in the morning from my brother.

... the Knight of the Guard. Hugh serves his brother with loyalty...

Picon, in your brain!Mark's on. Maybe we can do it.

I'm still lucky this morning.Found the thread of Hugh's attack!

--That's a trick. Moreover, my position as a princess reinforces the conjecture.

In short, tricks are momentum!

"Hugh Roberts, at least 'now' is the knight of my guard.On the orders of my brother.Do you have any objections? "

"What?"

"So you're going to ignore your brother's orders?"

…………

The colour of Hugh's dark eyes is questionable.Hugh has no intention of neglecting his duties. I know that.

"If you are to carry out your brother's orders, even if they are temporary, you must serve me as the knight of your guards.Look - can you say you're doing it?I can't bear to be underestimated by someone who has to keep me safe. "

Now that you've taken on, you'll need to do the same!

It's probably better to work on it, as there's no problem!I don't want you to take precedence over my brother, but I want the same level!Answer the questions honestly.

Consider that my question weighs as heavily as that of my brother.― Now , who are you?

"... the knight of His Highness Octavia's guard."

Yeah, right.

I pulled my chin.

Let's redo the partition.

"--Why would my brother take my place on the inspection?"

Innerly, you swallow hard spit.If Hugh doesn't answer now, he's stuck.

Hugh opened his mouth.

"There is more than one plan made by the anti-royal people.It turns out there was a planned raid on His Highness Octavia's visit. "

Ahhhhh!... no!

Another raid?

"When and where did you get this information?"

"The first report is on the day of the quasi ball.I'm on another mission from His Highness Celius. "

"Something else... what was your mission when the enemy cut you up?"

…………

Hugh said yes quietly.

Refer to the original knowledge while opening the "black fan" and calming down with a fluffy mind.

Octavia won't be targeted by an anti-royal cursor during an inspection.

Cerius and Sil were under the castle.But this bud should have been crushed a long time ago.I told my brother about it.Because it was the one with the highest risk of Sil.

First report means second report, right?

"The same information came from the songwriters captured by the Duke of Nightfellow at the paradance."

"Isn't it just that the curves stopped the raid on the inspection and turned it into a paradance raid?"

Hugh shakes his head.

"Mostly the same, but we see insurance as a plan by a separate team."

A backup plan for when you fail at a semi-dance party?

After all, it's inseparable from a quasi-dance raid...

It was also clear why my brother went on an inspection.

"My brother wants the songwriters to carry out the raid plan for the inspection."

If you put it off, you might miss it.

"As His Royal Highness Octavia did at the Quarter Ball, His Royal Highness Celius intends to blame himself during the visit."

"But I wonder if it's going to be a trick on my brother?I wonder if the songwriters are aiming for my inspection.I'm the target. "

"Anti-royalty people target all royalties.His Highness Celius is also considered eligible. "

Aim for royalty.... Is it stronger with the curves who attacked me in the Garden of the Sky?

As a precaution, you're not targeting Sil this time?

Knowledge of the original work prevents me from wiping out my concerns.Even though the buds are crushed, another flag stands...Well, I don't think the conditions will be met unless my brother accompanies Sil to the inspection.It happened when my brother and Sil left the castle.

And it's impossible for me to take Sil with me on an inspection to become a cheat.

"His Highness Celius is working hard not to do so."

…………

It's too subtle whether you're being targeted or not.

Wait, should we think about why this is the answer?

Hello...

"--Does my brother think Clifford is involved?"

"I don't understand."

Hugh avoided responding by pretending to be stubborn, such as me.

But there was more confidence in me.

Perhaps my brother, Clifford, who crafted the carriage for Sil, suspects that there is a connection with my raid plan during my inspection.That's why we're keeping Clifford careful.The day of the inspection, of course. Are you saying you're already suspicious in all directions?

How did that happen? I want to grab my breast hold and shake it hard.

If you ever suspect it, it may look like the truth...

Anyway, the killer has to be caught in order to prove his innocence besides holding a trial.



I closed the "Black Fan" momentum.

Turn to Edgar who was listening to Hugh and me.

Dear Edgar,



Can I have your ear, please?

To Edgar's ears, who leaned and bent slightly, he told me a big operation to prove Clifford's innocence in a small voice.

No, not so much as a big fight.

Also known as, "Brother, if you suspect Clifford, why don't you catch him as a criminal?It's also called an operation.

The visit to the castle will be carried out jointly with me and my brother as originally planned.Me and my brother are in trouble.

However, I will also bring Clifford with me.Slow down the surveillance on Clifford.

And when the songwriters attacked me or my brother as planned, see for yourself whether Clifford would do something suspicious.

I'm going to make such a suggestion to my brother.

"But I don't know if my brother will accept the offer.Edgar, please make sure your brother gets on board with the proposal.Convince me if you were showing any difficulty. "

"... I can't say it's a gentle way.I can't agree with that. "

Edgar-sama murmured with her eyebrows raised.

Does Edgar-sama have any difficulty before my brother?

"The method involves danger following a quartet."

"This is the best way to solve everything at once."

Um... I feel scared, but I was experiencing it at a semi-primary party before I realized it, and if Clifford was there, I'd be fine.I will never be hurt.

Of course, Clifford can't do anything suspicious.

So at least we can prove it has nothing to do with the raid that happens during the inspection.The assailant will be caught, and it will be a breakthrough to break the suspicion of his hardened brother, Clifford.I feel like I can break it all at once from there.

As long as my brother swallows the proposal, my great victory is now.

The day after tomorrow, it's just the day of the inspection.

If the raid hadn't happened, it wouldn't have gotten worse.

Breathe leaks from Edgar-sama's mouth.

You seem determined.

And he pulled out a bottle from the flowers of the blooming Leishlan that he held in his arms.

I don't know what to do.

……

A white flower was inserted into my hair.

Good luck to you.

Lucky? Touch the Leishlan flowers you gave me in your hair.

"... you don't decorate your hair with flowers, do you? If you don't want to..."

"- No"

I don't think so.I remember my previous life. It makes me feel a bit nostalgic, with a warm heart and a bit of discomfort.

Because I wore flower decorations on my hair with my sister.However, since I was reborn as Octavia, I have never used flowers as flower decorations.

As Edgar said, this is typically the culture of the common people of Esphia and is not recommended as a princess.After all, if you put on these flower ornaments, your memories with oneechan will come back to life, and it will be painful.I miss my previous life.... I don't hate flower decorations.I just couldn't step on it.

Because I've always been caught in a fucking memory.

"Dear Edgar, I really like it. Thank you very much."

But I'm happy with this flower ornament.

Laugh at Edgar-sama. The Asuki part also smiled.

Shall I ask Sasha for a flower hair ornament next time I dress up?

"Octavia..."

Edgar-sama, who called my name, took a good look and smiled instead.

Maybe you smiled too much at me?Were you smiling strangely?

"... good, then. The common people of Esphia say that luck comes when you put a flower ornament on a woman's hair from a man's hand.It's a little crazy. "

- Good luck.

The words that Edgar-sama said earlier made a point.

At the same time, the question arises that there is no body and no lid.... I'm worried.

So I asked the most serious question.

"Is luck proportional to the number of flowers in your hair?"

I'll take the exam!Wouldn't it be more effective if I gave you two or three more? Get lucky!

I can't do it myself...What if Clifford wasn't being careful?

Edgar-sama blew out.

"Maybe so.... I've been told the same thing before."

Trying to pull a fresh leach from the flower you held.I stopped in a hurry.

Well, when I asked Edgar-sama, it was decided to feel like an additional reminder for flowers.But I didn't mean to.

"No! Edgar-sama was picked."

"I just picked it for no purpose.I was having trouble using it. "

I thought it was a lie.

If you look at it, maybe they pick it all carefully, one at a time.

Very, very important.

There can be no end to it.

However, Edgar-sama did not deliberately say it - the manifestation of intent could not be repeated.

Perhaps Edgar-sama will do that to me.

"You can leave this to me."

Two Leishlan flowers were pulled out and gently inserted into her hair.

"Good luck to you.... you're coming back safely. "
