I Favor the Villainess

The harvest festival began.

The night of Wang Du is overflowing with people, and various stores are lined up.

Food and ornaments made of fall harvests were sold to fly, and the capital was celebrating its most lively day of the year.

Speaking of which, I was in a room in the cathedral to prepare a service dance.

Change into costumes for dancing and wait for your turn.

"Ray, is' ready 'okay?

"Yes, without delay"

"Li, Lili's getting nervous..."

If you don't know anything, it usually sounds like you're talking about the service dance, but there's another connotation between us.

Of course, Master Yu, it is about the wickedness of solving the problem.

"Dear Claire, Lily, do you know what you need to do?

"Of course, sir."

"Yes, sir"

Everyone's cooperation is essential to this operation.

I am not here, nor Lord Rod or Sain.

Though I remember a little anxiety about Master Lily's accidental attributes, I can only believe it here.

"Dear Lily, give me an example."

"Yes, it's here"

When I urged, Master Lily has offered two things like bracelets.

"Then we'll do as we're supposed to do later"

When I left the two of them, I spoke to the chief priest, who was in charge of the service dance.

"I'm sorry, chief priest. I'd like to go pick flowers."

"The dance has already begun. Can't you stand it?

"Yes."

"I have no choice. Hurry and go."

"Thank you"

I left the scene in a hurry.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

The service dance takes place in the festival hall just outside the cathedral.

There is a wide stage made of marble in the center, surrounded by spectator seats.

The seats are full, and there will be thousands, including standings.

Honestly, I don't think you can see the people behind you, but still the crowd keeps growing.

Because this service dance is supposed to be an edge, and it is considered to be in your interest just to be present.

People are waiting for the beginning of the service dance now or now.

The VIP seats adjacent to the stage also included the appearance of the royals.

His Majesty Roseille, Queen Liechet, Dear Rod, Sain, Yu and even Master Suras were there.

Gorn and a low bell sounded in the deliberate ceremony hall.

It is the main bell of the cathedral.

Finally, the service dance begins.

The voice of the deliberate man quieted as the waves drew.

Tonight is the full moon.

The stage was lit by moonlight and pine lights, and there was an air of mystery.

A dancer dressed in a very thin silk coat came in often.

He has a silvercrafted crown on his head and a bell fan on his hand.

Some of the dancers were Claire, Lily, and "I" as well.

When the dancers went up to the stage, they knelt in line to draw a circle.

Breaking the silence, the whistle sounded high.

This is followed by a heavily drummed low sound.

Strings play chords, and little drums carve rhythms.

There, the sound of a bell named Shan, Shan was added.

The dancers are making sure to sew a gap in the accompaniment, ringing a bell fan in their right hand.

In a relaxed motion, the dancers moved out.

The dancer's costume is designed to be unobstructed by dancing, but there are flickering cloths all over the place.

The sleeves and hem curved beautifully across the universe to match the movement of the dance.

At first the accompaniment of the dance, which was quiet, gradually becomes greater and more intense.

But the dancers move slowly until they get tired of it.

The difference evokes a strange emotion in the audience.

It's like the dancers are telling me to dance more, to resist it.

"That dancer is amazing."

While voices began to speak, there was an unexpected and spilled admiration.

Other people who heard that also found out who it was referring to.

There was a tall dancer among the dancers.

Although movement was not different from other dancers, that dancer was clearly different from the others.

"I wonder what. It's like I'm crying, I'm happy..."

"Oh, I feel like I'm being hit with emotions anyway"

Slow motion is as if tied to a chain.

But on a wave of arms, on a step by step step, the audience is somehow shaken.

Someone later wrote in the book that the dancer seemed to be the first to be forgiven for his forbidden emotions.

"That's Ray-Taylor, isn't it? You see, a civilian said he was allowed into the Royal College."

"Oh, that's the girl. But that kid's not a nun, is he? How did you end up in a service dance?

The audience learned some confusion.

But...

"I don't care about that. Big deal, that one."

As someone said, few people cared about triviality.

So much so that the dancer's dance was overwhelming.

I want to see it forever.

The audience even wished that, but eventually the song comes to an end.

And the dancers gathered together in the center, and danced as if to stand, or to rejoice.

And -.

Shan.

The last time I waved the bell fan wide, I knelt on stage with my hands wide open.

After a moment of silence, a loud cheer comes from the audience.

- Faster than.

"Listen, people!

Rin's voice was echoed by a dancer who earlier showed an overwhelming dance of others - that is, "I".

But the voice is not mine.

As soon as I realized it was Queen Leishe.

"Become..., YOU!?

"I" bit a thousand bracelets wrapped around my wrist.

The look that was me instantly turns into that of Master Yu.

No, that's not accurate.

Though it was the height that was high, Yu-like's body had a curved silhouette.

The very thin silk coat-covered chest was also definitely pushed up from the inside.

In short, it was a woman's body.

"What do you mean!? So, what about this yu!?

"I'm sorry, Master Liesche. It's me."

When I removed my wrist bracelet, too, I revealed myself.

"Ray-Taylor!? How could you do this!?

The queen shouts like a scream.

"Master Yu has commanded me. I don't know why. He just told me to stay here instead of the prince."

I was the one who actually suggested it, but this lie was necessary to guarantee my safety.

This bracelet is a magic device that changes the shape of Lily's offering.

They say it's not an offering, it's Master Lily's personal belongings.

"What do you mean? Isn't that Master Yu?

"No, but it's a woman."

"Master Yu was a woman...?

The audience also seemed to have finally swallowed things up, and it gradually became noisy.

But suddenly the noise stopped.

Those on the spot realized that they were no longer able to speak.

(Misha, you're doing great)

It is she who hasn't shown up, but this is her work.

There's no one else who can manipulate such a wide range of sounds without her.

"I'm sorry I've deceived everyone so far. But this is my -- no, this is who I really am."

In silence, only the voice of Master Yu sounds loud.

This is also Misha's job.

"I've been faking my gender, but I'm a woman. From now on, I don't falsify myself, I want to live as a woman"

Master Yu proclaimed with perseverance.

Master Liesche is pounding his mouth and saying something, but that's speechless.

Master Sarus is also trying to instruct his men on something, but he doesn't get the guidelines because the words are sealed.

"People, please forgive me. Instead, I waive my right to inherit the throne."

At the same time as the word, the queen fell.

He seemed to pass out in too much shock.

At the same time, everyone's voice recovered.

The neighborhood got fussy.

"You did it, Ray-Taylor"

It was His Majesty Rosseille who called on me.

Why, there was no disputed colour in that voice, and it was a calm thing until I was exhausted.

"What are you talking about?

"... No, you do. I guess you don't know anything. Nothing."

With that said, His Majesty Roseille laughed bitterly.

"Maybe I'm glad this happened after all"

That's all His Majesty left to say, he rose from the throne.

"Suras. Clear things up."

"Ha."

Master Suras quickly skipped the instructions to his men.

I was to be detained.
