Lifetime employment, so to speak, with Clifford? Having finished something like the contract, I decided to go to the dinner party today because time was running out.
The place is the castle's supper room.
Although the interior is elaborate, there is one rectangular table with lace cloth in the center of a rather cozy room. A chair for the whole family is arranged there and the seating is fixed.
Father in the upper seat. On the right from your father, me, Alec. On the left, my raised mother, my brother.
After a while, Master Shill will be joining us here, won't he? The line between me and Alec remains the same, Father in the upper seat, Mother of Raising. On the left I saw that I would feel like my brother, Master Sil.
The menus are all the same thing. Roughly three levels. Appetizers, soups, main dishes, and lastly desserts are brought in successively. Means of eating are knives, forks and spoons.
I use seasonal vegetables, meat dishes, fish dishes and desserts are all elaborate in taste and appearance. And then there's always bread. Bread is even bread, a simple bread that is round and hard, which was not very familiar in the previous life. Harder than French bread. This is fragrant and I like it. I even change occasionally!
That's right, the Castle cook is just so excited about his arm, he gets a delicious meal every day.
- However, sometimes I would like to have a few large dishes served and eat them as much as I like from there. Is the menu, like, cheesy any more? Mass canteen?
I know it's a luxury.
But sixteen years of living a princess's life. I found out.
That human beings get used to it in luxury...! Conversely, you start to admire the three hundred and fifty yen called the Japanese yen - about ten cells in the currency of Esphere, a snack for street sales, etc. He said he loves fine steaks, but he also loves takoyaki.
Surrounded by Grade A cuisine, I also want Grade B cuisine.
Human greed is bottomless!
When I walked into the supper room, everyone was already there. The whole family is in their seats, servants and soldiers in service at the wall. Clifford has reached the waiting position of the knights of the escort.
The royal family of Esphere will eat while thus being exposed to a large number of gazes. So I, too, eat beautifully and elegantly.... Sometimes I'd like to eat it for being an idiot...
I left my fan with me at the service. Sit in a chair pulled by a servant.
I gaze at Alec next door and smile at him.
Turning to the front, now my brother and I have our sights on each other, but we act as if there was no daylight. Avoid your brother and extend the time to let him see your (disguised) lover - but the truth is, me, this time is basically going to see your brother every day, isn't it?
But the topic is topical, and due to the nature of my royal dinner party, I'm treading that my brother will not pursue this matter at the dinner party. If my brother doesn't catch me on my way to and from the dinner party, I have a chance!
"Looks like we're all here. So..."
- Say thank you to God in the sky and start your meal on Father's signal. And the start of a family reunion.
In the Esphere, meals are thought to be enjoyable while chatting. But my family, my father, my brother, me and Alec, if they suck, keep eating silently.
Father and brother were originally oligarchy. Me and Alec are friends in private, but we don't basically shake the subject off ourselves at dinner parties. For a reason.
I am - a habit from the time of Narcotics, simply because I want to focus on food when eating! Conversation? I don't want that! Only pour all the nerves of your tongue into the dishes you make!
Alec - he cares about his father, doesn't he? I've told you many times that Alec doesn't have to worry about that, not me, but maybe not if Father himself doesn't follow...
So, everyone, there's no shaking anything from you. If it shakes, it mixes.
When I say someone to shake the subject, there's only one left.
Mostly, the first voice is - my raised mother, a man who is my father's partner.
His name is Edgar. I call it Master Edgar. Former merchant.
It attracts customers with character - even the king - the holder of a menacing talent. You look younger than your real age. Scorched brown habitual hair and similar-colored eyes. Trademarks are eyeglasses.
"Speaking of which, Celius. Sil said I had a fight with you today?
The conversation at today's dinner party also began with Dear Edgar.
I was drinking the carbonated water I received from my servants. Carbonated water is more common in Esphere than water when eating. Flavors made with fruit juice are also popular. The classic is lemon!
"Did you know"
My brother laughs bitterly. Well, he said it would stand out if he played the love scene on the go.... I don't want to do that myself, but honestly, there are parts of me that I'm a little envious of. About that, as much as I forget my eyes around me, there are people I like, for both my thoughts.... I want to make love to you like that!
"We made up, but Octavia scolded us"
When my brother said, the gaze of everyone but me turned this way.
"No one will say it until I say it."
This place is a clear claim!
"Right. I was reckless. Then..."
Hmm? My brother is trying to tell me. That's unusual.
"Octavia. I'm sorry."
If I was wondering, suddenly, I was apologized to my brother.
"Brother... what's wrong?
"You scolded me, later."
My brother has a slightly more contemplative face.
"And then..."
Squeeze.
Perhaps when I came to Kateen?
Is that it? What is this flow... I have a bad feeling about it. Hey, brother?
"I didn't know you had someone you liked. It was only natural for you to be angry at my insensitive words. Sil also told me.... you've been hiding it all along."
- Bye.
I almost accidentally blew out the carbonated water I was drinking. I barely stomped over the princess's face.
"On my sister, who I liked...?
Alec turned to me with momentum.
I was just stunned to see my brother.
What is it, this development...!
"So, at least I want to work with you. You couldn't even tell your father, could you? Then I decided to put you on the spot as soon as possible."
Dear Sil, with effect, brother, too much reflection!
I didn't know you'd cut it out at a dinner party with the whole family...!
This is a brilliant goodwill! Neck is that I don't actually have a compassionate lover!
"Didn't you shy away because of me and Sil?
…………
Human beings really lose their words when they're surprised...
"- What do you mean? Celius. Octavia."
Father shouts a crane.
Father - Enoch, King of the Esphere, with a colour very similar to Alec's. Highly valued for his ability as king. If I were to give you a few weaknesses, maybe, Alec related.
My brother answered unwillingly, on my behalf, thinking of excuses.
"Octavia has a lover. I heard about it today because it was late. But - probably, I - no, because of me, I couldn't do it publicly. Or maybe there are other obstacles to your identity or what.... Your Majesty, as a royal family, do you ever acknowledge Octavia's lover? I want to admit."
Bye. Aah. My brother's gone from "me" to "me"! The "Father" thing, the "Your Majesty" call! Ask your father as your son, not as your first prince, and I will sue His Majesty directly, in the form of Ugh!
"Ah, brother!
To me in a hurry to stop, but my brother is just an instant person. I won't get lost if I decide. Don't get lost or I won't get lost!
"If Octavia has a loved one, he has the right to be united with him"
Father, of course, does not approve.
- I don't know who they are.
But my brother ate it down.
"So why don't we set up a place to show off first? Just us."
Hey...... hey.
While I can't keep up with the story, the story goes on and on.
My stomach... my stomach hurts.
My look on it! He's walking alone!
When you decide on a (disguised) lover, just ask your brother, to sneak up on him face to face and say, "What do you say! Because I have a companion, too! Because I have someone to love!" I wish I could have proven that...!
What a place to show off, there's no escape!
You can't keep your mouth shut!
- You don't have to.
"Why? Octavia."
My brother shook his blanket in the wind that he didn't understand.
"Because I don't want to bother them"
The other person - so far, there's no shadow or shape! If I were to... about Lust, who made me a candidate over here on my own?
"If so, name him. Octavia."
Father cares too...
If I could tell you, I'd be giving you a name too, Father!
"I can't say on this occasion"
I can't tell you, this is what happens!
"If you name it, you will be introduced to Your Majesty as a princess. I repeat, you may cause trouble to my beloved. - Brother. All I said to my brother was, as a daughter, as a sister, I wanted you to know."
I think I said something good.
So let's just get this story over with! You know what?
"... that's what you say. That's a tough opponent."
No, you're not, brother! It just doesn't exist!
I wonder what the hell kind of person you imagined. Who's my (disguised) lover?
"You, too, want time to talk to the other person. Even if we show off, we need a day, right? Right... because it's about the two of us. Tomorrow, too, I thought - then ten days... no, I just need about two weeks?
As my brother nods, I come up with a suggestion.
At first, I thought it was tomorrow or something, horrible.
Even though it's longer than the next ten days I've spoken, two weeks, 14 days? Brother, you're basically someone who can, so I think I'm still going to have enough time for this... Short by my standards!
I was the one who wanted about a month to introduce you only to my brother, and the 14th?
I know there's no malice. Rather, the opposite is true. But what are you shortening......!
"Celius."
My father called my brother to make amends.
"It's not up to you."
"But if we don't..."
My father, who exhaled deeply, told me.
"Octavia. When you're done eating, come to the office. I want to talk to you two alone."
"Yes... Father"
Ugh. Heavy.
