I Favor the Villainess

It was the first time I came to the royal palace.

He was guided through the palace as he stepped on a fuzzy carpet, passing a gate where words such as majesty seemed more appropriate than luxury.

It was the waiting room that was put through.

There are dozens of people who look at the king every day.

Lady Claire and I are the only ones in this room right now, but I'm guessing there are plenty of people in the other waiting room waiting to see.

With such a blur in mind, I was rarely looking at indoor conditioning.

"Sit down, restless"

I guess it's something I'm used to.

Lady Claire is rinsing the tea served without showing any tension.

"It's not like I'm restless. I thought the Royal Palace room was different."

"It's obvious. A royal palace is the face of the country. Even if you take one table, it's normal to use the finest. This table is probably made of mahogany."

"Ha."

I don't feel confident in the aesthetic eye, all I know is that it seems expensive.

A pearl in a pig, a small judgment in a cat, a Buddha in a horse's ear...... does it deviate subtly?

"If I did, I wouldn't even be able to see it."

When I returned the teacup to the saucer, Master Claire gave me a glimpse here for just a moment.

"Thank you for lending me your clothes"

You can't just look at the king in his usual outfit.

I borrow a suit from Master Claire.

I was wondering if uniforms would also be allowed if I were a student, and that seems to be the only rule allowed to the planet.

This suit was tailored by Claire, who panicked to me and was going to participate in the college uniform, on a super express basis.

Skin exposure is minimized, sleeves are long sleeves and bottoms are trousers, not skirts.

The color is black, which is the color of the orthodox costume.

All of this is determined by the dress code.

Speaking of Claire, she looks really beautiful in a dress.

When it comes to dresses, it's not like evening dresses, this is also a day dress that minimizes skin exposure.

It's a piece with lots of drape and the skirt is a long one to the waist.

Unlike me as I am dressed in clothes, Master Claire's outfit is perfect.

It's obvious, if you take it for granted, but wearing these clothes makes it quite clear that Master Claire is an upper-class courtier.

"It's not for you. I just didn't think it would be any better to be doubted until my common sense to worship with you."

"Say that again. Love, love."

"... I really wish I'd kept my mouth shut"

It is like Claire with a frightened face.

"Claire-François, Ray-Taylor. I bestow my worship on His Majesty the King."

After waiting for a while, the samurai and the squire came to call.

Finally, it is a sight to behold.

Step on the red carpet and walk down the hallway of the royal palace.

The underfoot is too soft to walk a little.

Lady Claire says she's high heeled in such a long hemmed dress, but she walks truly without any problems.

It would be a difference in experience around here.

And while I was doing so, I came between my eyes and in front of the chamber.

"It's in Claire-François and Ray-Taylor,"

As the samurai read our names out loud, the elegant and intricately designed doors were opened.

……

After gracious prayer, I stepped in with Claire to take a look.

On both sides lies the Kingsguard and the Buddhist soldier, and on the throne that follows sits His Majesty the King, His Majesty the King, and His Majesty the Queen Lieche.

As he advanced to the front of the throne, he poked his knee and took a courtesy of his subordinate.

The area has been completely moistened by Claire until just before.

A thank you to Ray.

Enough.

"Raise your face."

His Majesty's heavy voice sounded and we were allowed to see His Majesty and the Queen's face.

His Majesty Roseille has dark eyes, dark hair, somewhere resembling Master Rod.

Although not as pleasant an atmosphere as Lord Rod's, it is equipped with piercing locks worthy of a king of a nation.

The outfit is reminiscent of King of Trumps but very beautiful when you look at the real thing.

The crown over my head played a hard light.

The queen's leachette has blonde blue eyes and is somewhat like you.

He tied his long hair and had a silver tiara gleaming over his head.

I hide my mouth with a fan, so I can't read the expression.

"I hear he led a series of incidents at the Royal College to a resolution. Thank you very much."

Lie face down again, in the words of Negiri.

"I also hear you saved the life of my son Sain. It is great."

I get the nerve again with my face down.

"It shall be awarded a special level of reward. Say what you want."

That's all I ask, and then I look up again.

"It's in Claire-François and Ray-Taylor. I give you the honor of worship today, and I truly know it with great pleasure."

Lady Claire opened her mouth.

I leave the interaction from here to Master Claire.

No matter how rewarding you get, it seems bad for civilians to exchange words directly with His Majesty the King.

"Uhm."

His Majesty nodded to Eagle Deep and urged ahead.

"As a reward, Your Majesty, I have one favor to ask."

"Tell me."

"Yes."

This is where we come from.

Please, Master Claire.

I would like to make a plea for the life of the Ortho family.

As Lady Claire spoke of her desire, the twist widened during her glance.

Well, that's right.

"Quiet."

But when His Majesty's well-traveled voice sounded, he calmed down again during the sight.

Silence persisted for a long time.

"I hear the Ortho family is the main culprit of this commotion. You're asking that Ortho family to commute their sentences?

"Yes, Your Majesty, I beseech you for your pardon."

To the unreadable and flat voice of His Majesty in his heart, Lady Claire overlaid and mouthed the petition.

"Suras, please?

To the king's inquiry, the Prime Minister, who had refrained beside the throne, took a step forward.

The Chancellor's name is Dear Sir Saras-Lilium.

He is a beautiful man with silver hair and red eyes.

"It will be difficult. Prize imperative is the principle of jurisprudence. The Ortho family has no reason to commute their sentences."

Dear Suras, who tells you that in a cold voice.

Again, is it difficult?

"To date, the Ortho family has done all they can for the country. I believe that its contribution is not insignificant, especially in the case of projects relating to magic stones. Now, please consider a pardon for commutation."

Dear Claire, who eats desperately.

Whether we can save the lives of Laine and Lambert depends on this time now.

"It is true that the Ortho family has so far devoted itself to the country. Impossible to commute your sentence with that feat, Sarace?

"To offset with merit, the sins committed are too great. Attempted murder of royalty and nobility to attract external illness. Home disconnection seems inevitable."

Master Suras still said that cold.

"I mean. Give me another wish."

Is it still no good?

Master Claire is also pale and holding her fist.

At that time...

"… Your Majesty, could you please do what they want?"

A familiar voice echoed during the sight.

"Sain."

The Lord of the voice was Master Sein.

He walked out the door beside him and lined up next to Claire.

"... At the base of this commotion was a civilian dissatisfaction with the nobles. There have also been criticisms that the sharpening of the courtyard case, which was one of the causes of the riots at the college, is only a nobleman"

Master Sein spoke in good spirits.

I've never heard Master Sein speak so much.

"... the Ortho family found out who did it, and the civilian movement has calmed down once. But if you don't show that the royal family doesn't take the civilians lightly, the same thing will happen again."

"Do you think the Ortho family's help will help?

"... yes"

"Words, Your Majesty, Dear Sain,"

It was Master Suras who blocked the conversation between the two of them.

"There is also a suspicion that it was the Ortho family who incited the civilian movement in the first place. The royal family does not take civilians lightly, but nobles whose children are in danger if they help the Ortho family remain silent."

That's true.

Originally, the aim of that black mask was to kill noble children.

If demons had been released inside the college as they were, some would have actually been killed.

"... it's a matter of balance. Now the balance is leaning on the aristocratic side. Given the importance of magic, it is obvious that it is civilians who will have to attach importance from now on. Please reconsider everything to avoid an empty culture of His Majesty's competency-oriented policies."

I just said what I wanted to say, and Master Sein shut his mouth.

"I know what both sides are saying."

His Majesty seemed to think a little after saying so.

Time flies.

It wasn't really that long, I guess, but it felt so long to me.

"Disposal of the Ortho family shall be an expulsion from the country"

His Majesty's shanty was exile.

I spared your house from being cut off.

Face to face with Master Claire.

Master Claire looked relieved, too.

"Your Majesty, may I say..."

"Suras, objections are unacceptable"

"... Your will"

Master Suras seemed to have tried to disagree, but he pulled back in such a way as to bump into the strong sound of His Majesty's voice refusing to interfere.

"The details of the disposition shall then be communicated. Claire-François, Ray-Taylor. Fall back."

"Yes."

"Sayne stays. We need to talk."

"... Yes"

Lady Claire and I quit while we were watching.

We were silent for a while even when we left the royal palace.

But I just left the palace gate, and it was the limit of patience.

"We did it!

"Yay!

Lady Claire and I didn't even let them see the indications, but at the same time we made a gutsy pose.

Master Claire looked back at me all the time and hurried to solve the pose.

"Heh, heh! Please don't imitate me?

"It's a heart-to-heart thing. Look, it's a pleasure, so let's be honest."

"Nothing. You wouldn't have to be happy with me, would you?

"Well, let's love each other"

"What are you talking about!?

Looks like it's gone back to normal us, but Master Claire had more mouths than usual.

We were on our way back to college, sayin 'more than usual.
