The king who rises from the throne makes the declaration.
"Both of you, call your own spirits first"
"Yes. Ignis, frusto"
In response to the king's words, he calls the name of the Spirit to which Al has made a covenant. Two spirits appeared in response to Al's voice. I've only seen it once. An advanced spirit of fire. My skin is green on the other side. I guess this is the Spirit of the Wind.
A twitch occurs from within the castle to Al, who summoned two spirits. Al is the only one currently contracting two spirits simultaneously in the Kingdom of Roseblade.
We were all nailed to a sight we rarely saw.
"Come on, Lili too"
"Yes.... Noir"
Al urged me, and while I was a little nervous, I also called my own Spirit. I told Noir about today in advance. When we talked about the engagement ceremony, he nodded, "Oh, that royal ritual... ok". That's when I said to Noel, who was looking like a cat, "You never come. If you do poorly, the other spirits could be ravaged and the rits could fail," he advised face-to-face, "but if that's true, it's a horrible story.
"It's a big deal ," Noel laughed, "but there's a fair amount of gross hatred for Noel in the Spirit. I was also a long-time unsuccessful spiritual covenant with Noel on my side, so I asked Noel to stay at the Mansion only today. Absolutely not, such as failing an engagement ceremony.
Noel was swollen, "I'll put up with you because I'm not going to get in the way of Goshzinsama. Clear, I wish I could have seen it," he nodded at the end.
Before I left the mansion today, I could see Chirali and Noel, so I'm sure you'd have seen me dressed up now.
In response to my call, the Dark Spirit Noir reveals himself. Confirming the Spirit's appearance, the king nodded and protruded forward the ring that was embedded in his fingers. The spirits shine out as they respond to it.
"... I wonder what you're doing"
Speaking in doubt, Al, who was next door, whispered to me.
"It's a ring ritual. Your father's ring is inherited from generations of kings. Register the power of the royal and his companion's covenant spirits on that ring."
"Register, is it?
"Yes. The treasure trove, for example, is never going to open unless you take someone from the contractual spirits registered to that ring. There are surprisingly many things that are key to the spirit of the covenant."
"Really?"
"I think if Will had an engagement ceremony with someone too, yeah, he'd do it and be registered to the ring - but not yet. Because it is considered half servings in a state where the person to be married is undecided. I can finally get to where my father and mother have always been."
I nodded when I heard the explanation.
If there are many things that the Spirit is key to, then surely we won't be talking about it without the covenant Spirit. I see, so convinced that it was imperative that I was under a spiritual contract, I was looking at the sight in front of me.
The king's embedded ring glowed gold, but soon erased its colour. The spirits disappear almost simultaneously. I guess that means I finished my role at the engagement ceremony.
That's about the special ritual, followed by a normal exchange.
The ceremony was only at the end, and a document with the wording of the engagement was prepared. I write down my name even as I tremble a little nervously.
Following me, Al also wrote his own name.
A civilian gives the King a respectful written statement. And the king, who looked through at it, wrote down his signature in the same way in the bottom column.
Return the letter to the civilian. They checked it over and over again, nodded and then went back down.
We're going to be tightened up by the castle vault. They also can't get that vault in without the spirits registered to the earlier rings together.
"Proof of engagement."
After confirming that the civilian had fallen back, the king said.
Another clerk brings the golden basin higher than his head to the word. Inside that basin were brooches deposited with Al.
……
Al takes the red brooch from the basin and attaches it to my dress. Nodding at his urging, I also took his brooch and, nervously, fastened it to his top.
"Now we have an engagement."
The King proclaims heavily, and applause arises from those present accordingly.
"- Hey, Lili. The ceremony is in two years."
After the engagement ceremony, Al snorts at me, exhaling. I looked up at him unexpectedly to the words I heard.
"Two years later, is it?
"Yeah. The day you grew up. I'm thinking about having a wedding for my birthday. Look, in the kingdom of Roseblade, you wouldn't be allowed to marry until both of you get married are adults, would you? I can get married now, but you haven't. If we want to get married in the shortest possible time, we'll have to wait for your eighteenth birthday."
"eighteen birthdays......"
He is clearly presented with the time of marriage, and suddenly his marriage to him becomes realistic.
My chest is full and I can't reply. When I couldn't say anything and leaned down, Al asked worryingly.
"Don't like it? A little more of the rest?
"What..."
I look up in a hurry. Seeing Al as if he had misled him, he was frowning, "But I'm sorry," he said.
"If you want me to wait a little longer, I can't. Because I want you to be my wife as soon as possible. The truth is, I want to marry you right now, okay? I've been waiting two years for that, so I hope you don't give me any more of this."
"Al."
"So say 'yes'. I want you to promise me you'll be my wife on my eighteenth birthday."
"... Yes"
I smiled and nodded at Al's stronghold. Because I didn't have a choice to say no, and if I could get married any sooner, I'd only be happy to.
"I want to marry Al soon, too."
"Really? Promise, right? Because I won't allow rebellion."
"Yes."
nod again.Al loosened his expression and said happily.
"Glad Lili snorted"
"You didn't think I wouldn't snort."
"But I still get anxious. 'Cause I like you, and I can't wait to see you."
I laugh couscous. That's how he turned to me, with a colorful grin.
"Hey, Lili. Nice dress today. It's always beautiful and cute, but I wonder if it's because it's something special I wear to my engagement. You look prettier than usual."
"Thank you"
I'm glad Al complimented me at all times.
My cheeks were a little hot. When he thought the lights were falling off, he ordered one of the guards that Al was nearby to do something. The soldier nods as he learns, leaving the great hall.
"? What is it?
"Nothing. Wait a minute."
"... Yes"
I agree, though I don't know. Speaking of which, he said all the engagement ceremonies were over, but he hasn't left as one. Al doesn't seem to be willing to leave yet, either, and I wonder how long I should stay in this crowd loop.
"... Speaking of which, have you met Luke?
"Huh? Ah, yes"
I was talked to and snorted aggressively. Al says, "He's amazing, isn't he," slightly as if he's spooked.
"Because I want to continue serving you, I have cut off the seat of Grand Duke Soiree's grandson. I don't think I can lose that much, either."
"Al?"
"Don't you see? Luke and I are different, but we can't beat each other at the depth of our thoughts."
"Huh?"
Can't grasp his sincerity, make it a kyoton.
The soldier that Al ordered earlier is back. He has a bouquet of bright red roses in his hands. Amazingly large bouquet of flowers. The soldier offered it to Al respectfully. When Al received it, he stood before me and knelt.
"What..."
I didn't know what happened.
On his knees Al looked up at me and told me with his sincere caged eyes.
"I'll sign up again, regardless of the engagement ceremony. - Miss Liz Beltran. I love you. So be my wife and live with me."
"... Huh!
I accidentally held my mouth down.
Al offers me a bouquet of roses in his hand. Not surprisingly, Al said to me in a prankster tone that only allowed me to open my eyes.
"- You know what? A bouquet of roses changes the meaning depending on the number of copies. 'I love you' in three copies." Favorite "in eleven bottles, I guess it was. And there are ninety-nine of these. I was worried about a hundred and eight bottles, but as far as I'm concerned, I want to do it this way."
"Ninety-nine..."
Look seriously at the bouquet of flowers that are too big. Al doesn't answer anything to me, even more.
"By the way, one hundred and eight is' please marry me '. I also wanted to throw away nine hundred and ninety-nine bottles. Don't you think it's nice to' love you no matter how many times you're reborn '? But it's just not realistic to give."
"... What does ninety-nine mean?
My voice trembles at will. There was so much joyful emotion swirling in my chest that I couldn't express it. Vision seeps through.
Al said with a smile that made him fall in love.
"It's" eternal love, "Lili. I swear to you forever. [M] So I want you to swear the same thing."
Tears overflowed.
I can't help but be full of breasts and bitter about what to say. Still, I shook my head vertically desperately.
"... Yes"
I manage to get a bouquet of flowers out of his hand, even though I have trouble with the unstoppable tears. The bouquet weighed quite a bit but felt strange and light. I want to respond to Al, and I try to speak out, but my whimper leaks and I'm speechless.
"I swear... Ugh... me too... about Al... loving him..."
"Yeah, I'm glad"
Al gets up and hugs me with every bouquet of roses. At that moment, a full round of applause boiled down from the venue.
Both the nobles present and the soldiers of the security applaud even the king and queen. I guess everyone but me knew what Al was doing now.
So no one left, and I finally realized I was waiting.
Everyone is blessing me. He's happy to marry him for me and Al's engagement.
I was so happy about that.
I'm so impressed, I'm overflowing with tears again.
"I... I... Ugh"
Crying comforts me with Al's gentle voice.
"Oh... don't cry because you're wearing makeup beautifully. I didn't mean to make you cry."
"I'm too happy... I can't... Ugh..."
Shake your head small, left and right. I knew it would be lame to cry forever, but I wouldn't stop. I was glad Al showed me love, and I couldn't help but be happy to receive his love.
"Lili, I love you"
"- I... also love Al's..."
Al's face approaches. I closed my bright red eyes when I realized I was going to be mouthed. A glimmer of tears flows through my cheeks.
I don't think it's sane to talk in front of everyone in this place. I knew that, but I didn't even think of fine dust trying to stop him from acting.
Eventually the soft lips touch and go away. I was happy, and I cried again.
Al looked me in the eye and laughed.
"Heh, Lili, my eyes are turning bright red. You're cute like a rabbit."
"... just lying. I know it's been a terrible mess."
Gus, I'm crying. The makeup the maids worked hard on would have been removed as well. When resentment stared at Al, he laughed couscous.
"I didn't say anything about lying. Because Lili is always cute. Besides, I was glad you were crying. Don't think no man thinks his fiancée is cute for crying too much of joy."
"... Already, Al"
"I'm a lily fool. Any of you think you're cute."
To the real voice, I finally stopped crying and laughed.
Al points out happily.
"Oh, he finally stopped crying. Hey, any of you are nice, but I still think you have the cutest smile. I can't wait two years. I want to welcome you to my wife soon."
"Al."
"Hey Lili, what about you? What are you thinking to me?
Al is a little mean to me asking you if you know the answer.
While I rubbed my eyes wet and bright red in tears, I returned his desired answer, "I can't wait" with a smile to keep.
◇
- Liz Beltran, sixteen.
I may have been the 'Villain Warrant Lady', far from being the Perfect Warrant Lady, but to the extent that I was nevertheless recognized by everyone as the 'Fiancé of the First Prince', I could apparently have grown up - perhaps.
