◇ ◇ ◇
As always, Claude would hang on to me, but otherwise Sylvie had a peaceful day.
Take a walk with your mother-in-law, beg your tutor to teach you, and when the day is over, sleep in the same bed as Arthur.
The bedroom is not particularly determined with which. Sometimes Arthur comes to the room, sometimes Silvi is called. Mostly, the chief lady comes and tells me about it before dinner.
I'm a little embarrassed when they call me, but the chief woman and the soldiers will escort me to Arthur's room.
It was the recent fashion of the day to stay in the same room until morning, grab breakfast together and then break up.
"There's been quite a rumor in the royal castle that you're drowned by Arthur. It made sense for you to go to your room."
Alice is the one who laughs happily with Couscous. Talking to her, an indifferent relationship, has been very helpful to Silvi's mental stability. Alice, I can tell you how stupid they are, and I appreciate it because they scold you for "hanging in there" even if you zero a cry every now and then.
Of course, at the same time, Alice has a lot to do, so sometimes it hangs up. But basically I was grateful.
Now, Alice sits Silvi in front of the vanity, squirming her hair. Silvi sighed small as she looked over the mirror at the look of fun.
"Drowning...... hey"
"Arthur, the drowning route, keep it up! Fun!"
"It's not a game."
"I know, I know. But what I enjoyed. You don't have a choice."
To the cowardly Alice. Silvi fried the white flag in her heart. At times like this, it's no use saying anything to Alice. And I just had to leave Alice alone because I know it's her normal driving to run wild.
"Well, good. There's nothing wrong with an event."
"The drowning event is happening well, right?!?"
"I won't tell you, though."
"Silvi's Kechi!
Refuse only to know who will tell you the details. Alice moaned deliberately, but I know Sylvie's answer, so I immediately changed the subject. This is the usual promise.
"So? What the hell is the king calling you?
"I don't."
Answer the inquiry honestly.
Earlier, all of a sudden, the chief woman arrived and told me the king was calling. They also call Arthur, not just Silvi.
Although I replied that I would be on my way to get ready, the chief woman did not tell me until the details of the errands.
I'm a little curious as to why the hell they called me.
Alice leaned her neck over the mirror.
"About the wedding, I don't know"
"I don't think so. All I do is to be present at the temporary sewing of the dress and to remember the steps of the ceremony, to be able to say the list of invitees in the sky, something like that"
That's going to be enough flat. I want you to spare me any more.
Alice looks disgusted.
"A list of invitees… you have to remember that in hundreds…"
"If it's just a name, it's still easy to remember. Because I have to match my face with my name. And finally the title and a little information. I remember ten people a day at best."
I can't have five of them.
"I can't tell you I can't, so you're gonna have to do it."
"Right."
Alice nodded smugly at Silvi's words.
"It's hard to be Princess Wang. Me, in a made-up position, that was so good. Takamitsu is the most fun."
"What are you talking about? Even Alice will marry someone in the future, won't she? If someone in a noble family sees you, you'll suffer a similar challenge."
It is quite likely that a maid who serves the Crown Princess will be able to speak up to the nobles. But Alice said with a laugh.
"It's okay. I'm not getting married. I've been your maid all my life. If you're Princess Wang's maid, your salary is good, and your future as Arthur continues to drown you is almost certain. I don't have to worry about getting lost in the streets, and I think I'm going to have more fun staying like this."
"Alice......"
"And when you're here, you'll see the offensive characters! I don't want to attack myself, but it's just fun to watch because it's high spec compared to the rest of us and has a good face."
"That may be... but..."
I wonder what it's like to work in the royal palace all the time. As for Silvi, I'd love to have Alice with me, but if she's going to be happy, I'm going to gladly send her out.
Because I think that's the only thing Silvi can do to a friend from a previous life.
But he denied it to himself that it was not necessary, and Silvi was confused.
Alice is laughing at Kerakera.
"If it was, I'd even try to aim for the next chief woman's seat, 'cause I don't know what to think,' cause it's really okay. Nothing. I'm not pushing it, I'm not caring about you. Don't worry, it's your choice."
"Yeah......"
If they say so far, it's just as hard for Sylvie to say more than that. I'm saying this now, but time will change my mind. That's when I decided to help, and Silvi decided to end this topic for now.
Check beautifully braided hair. If it's not time to go, they'll keep the king waiting. That is unacceptable.
I am also finished with makeup, so I just check and get up. Silvi grinned and thanked Alice.
"Thanks. Well, hey, I don't know what it's for and I feel scared, but I'm gonna go for it."
"Go away. I'll wait here. Let me know if there's anything interesting going on."
"I don't think it's in anything."
Make the usual exchange and leave the room. I thought the chief lady was waiting, but it was Arthur who was there.
Not so much formal, but more luxurious than usual. Speaking of which, Silvi is also dressed on the orders of the Chief of Staff. Is it just not the same as just meeting the king? Arthur laughs at Silvi.
"The chief lady told me you were being called by your father, too. That's why I picked you up."
"Thanks, glad"
Going alone is a little nervous, so I'm comfortable with Arthur together.
When Silvi broke his expression like a ho, he offered me an arm.
"It's just the right time. Let's go."
"Yes."
Grab it in the arm and walk with it. It was the king's office that told him to come. Walking down the hallway, Silvi asked Arthur a question.
"Hey, Arthur. Do you know what His Majesty's business is?
"No, because I was forced to call in while on duty, too. I haven't even heard the details."
"Yeah. I don't even know Arthur."
Finally, I'm wondering what the story is. Arthur told me to encourage Silvi to look anxious.
"If you need anything, I'll protect you. So don't get too sick before you listen to me."
"Yeah......"
Sure, you're right, but anxiety isn't going away.
Exhale a small sigh. I quickly arrived in the king's office.
Father.
Arthur knocks on the door. After a while, the king gave me permission to enter. Soldiers who were in front of the door open the door.
(King, or...)
Even though I'm used to my mother-in-law, I've only met the king a few times. Besides, the other guy is a national. I felt nervous and my lips were dry, but I couldn't help it. While Arthur takes him, Silvi also steps into the office.
(Ah...)
Two men and women sat on a guest sofa in the office.
Is the year as good as Silvi's? A woman is a beauty who seems mindful. There was a black child in his mouth, which was strangely colourful. If you are a man, a gentle face. He also had a pretty beautiful appearance again. I found out with the man because he's wearing a top for men, but wearing a dress doesn't seem uncomfortable.
The two wore outfits just like the Sylvies.
Silvi tilts her neck.
I wonder what it is. I had a lot of visual acuity.
(Hmm? Who?
"Sorry to call you all of a sudden."
Exploring his memory, he was called out by the king who was at the executive desk. Turn your gaze. He was grinning in a strangely upbeat manner.
"Father. I heard it's an urgent requirement, but is it about them even if it doesn't have to be?
"Yes."
The king returned his affirmation to his son's inquiry.
"It's the Queen's attending, the children of Rycardt. Rycardt was, and still is, well looked after when the Queen's condition deteriorated. A man who has helped his beloved wife many times. I wanted to reward you with something, but you've been saying no for so long, this time you finally said something to me."
"Your mother's attending? Was it?"
Arthur nods when he understands who they are. He looked strange at the same time.
"So? Why are they here?
"That's what Rycardt wants. My son and daughter are interested in you. He asked me to set up an opportunity to meet him once."
"... to me and Silvi?
"Mm-hmm. Actually, I've been hearing that story for a while now. You were still keeping secrets about Miss Sylvia. Rycardt also has the Duke, and I was wondering if his daughter would be your queen's candidate."
"I will not marry anyone but Silvi!
blocked the king's story and said as Arthur was angry.
"A bug spit runs, such as with a woman who doesn't like how many benefactors. Or do you say that your father doesn't know how I feel? You can leave your mother as she is now, right?
To Arthur, who changed his complexion, the king said in a tone of forgiveness.
"I know. Stop threatening me because I know. Arthur, I'm not going to stand in your way when things are going well with my fiancée. I gave up when you got engaged, too. Miss Sylvia has heard of the Queen's benefactor. The Queen's benefactor, the only one you want. I'm not willing to eliminate someone like that."
"... that would be nice"
Arthur did not break his attitude of restraint, even as he saw the king in frigidity. Unconscious as it may be, stand before her to protect Silvi and hide her from the king.
And Sylvie, sheltered, speaking, was bright blue by the name the king had told him.
(Dr. Rycardt...! The one that comes out on the Arthur route!
I remember desperately.
- Duke of Vincent Rycardt.
He is a slightly special figure, even with the Duke, who has demonstrated his presence as a Royal attending physician for generations. He has sons and daughters, daughters fall more in love with Arthur and urge their fathers to marry him.
The King is cared for countless times by Dr. Rycardt. The king, begged by him, tells his newly engaged son to break his engagement with Heroine - Silvi - and marry the daughter of the Duke of Rycardt instead. Heroes are heroine allies, of course.
The two of us will overcome this difficulty and eventually ask our father to allow us to continue our engagement - but... I didn't expect that story to come out now.
(... you're lying. You're making me play a more regular gaming event now? Give me a break.)
Silvi and Arthur were tied regardless of the game. And yet, I want you to stop coming up with one event after another, as if you remembered after you got engaged.
I turn my eyes to the woman sitting with chills.
The woman had tied the same blonde hair high as Silvi. The dress is also a wonderful delicacy, only the Duke's house and at a glance I can see that he would be living quite wealthy.
Certainly his name is Cordelia Rycardt. The year is the same as Silvi's.
She fell in love with Arthur at first sight when she saw him in the hallway of the castle. She used her father and forcefully approached Arthur.
(I see, I see... this was certainly a heroine jealousy event too)
Heroin, jealous of Cordelia, temporarily, but I think there was something about him giggling with a hero.
It's a strange thing, and remembering a part of it brings back memories to the potato ceremony. Sylvie felt very bad remembering the details of the event, but she worked her reason in the right place.
(It's okay. I'm not jealous. Arthur loves me. You can't be jealous. And I know this is an event. So I'm always calm...)
I turn to Cordelia again as I tell myself. Soon she was gone. Where the hell do you think you are, you heard her.
Reflectively look you in the eye.... I sincerely regretted not seeing it.
"Master Arthur! I've missed you since I first saw you... I can't believe you already have a fiancée!
Cordelia reaches out to Arthur. Arthur looked uncomfortable and slightly avoided it, but having witnessed the scene, Silvi was dominated by the discomfort and intense anger that stained his chest black.
(Arthur is mine! What are you doing to me!!)
I'm desperate to yell at you by accident. 'Cause this is the king's office, and it's the king and the king's prince, and the next duke and duke's lady. No matter how much Arthur's fiancée, Sylvie has the lowest status. I knew that, and I couldn't possibly yell or anything.
(Mm... mukatsuku...)
I resent my own title, which I can't say anything about even though I'm obviously witnessing the scene where I'm dropping by my lover.
(Be patient... be patient... it's just for now...)
Hold your fists and divert your attention from the Arthurs.
I heard Arthur.
"I want you not to touch me"
"Well, I apologize for that. But I really wanted to see Arthur in person once and tell him inside this chest. I have a higher status than your fiancée, but I don't mind spoiling her on the throne of a concubine. If I can marry you, I'll have some patience."
Silvi was stunned by the words conveyed, but Arthur said them back in a cold voice.
"I am not going to marry my concubine. I would appreciate it if you would stop spitting that kind of paranoia because your fiancée would misunderstand you"
"Yes... Really?"
Too bad he shrugged and Cordelia turned to Sylvie. He has a slightly mean grin.
"Let's just put that aside. What I asked of my father was that I want a day with Arthur. I really just want you to stay with me for twenty-four hours, but that won't be a problem for you to understand either, so I don't care if it's a short time to dinner. Oh, this is something that Your Majesty has already acknowledged. If there seems to be a complaint, I will ask His Majesty."
"... Father"
To the low, roaring voice of my son, the king makes a cramped face.
"Don't be angry like that. As I said earlier, I'm congratulating you on your marriage, and I don't even think of Miss Cordelia now. Do as you like there. It's just that. It's also true that Rycardt takes care of you, and sometimes it's true that you want to get what you want. So there is no way that Rycardt can say no, saying, 'My daughter says she wants to spend time with Her Highness because she is good in a day', etc. Arthur, isn't this where you take your skin off for my father? Nothing really means a whole day. Miss Cordelia is right, I don't mind just a short time to dinner. For the sake of my father, for a little while, even if he's dealing with a woman who admires you."
……
Arthur stares at the king silently. The silent offensive lasted for a while, but it was Arthur who broke it.
"... I'm a business belly, but I see. If it's the wish of the doctor your mother took care of, it can't be unhindered. But not twice. Next time we've done the same thing, we'll take care of it."
"I know. Just this once, I promise."
The king nods instantly. Having confirmed that, Arthur exhaled deeply. Conversely, Cordelia looks very happy.
"Good! So let's just get out of here, shall we? Something I don't have much time for. Brother, would you please deal with your fiancée, Your Highness Arthur? It's pathetic to be alone."
"What..."
Silvi was also surprised by the exact words, but Arthur also had his eyes open.
To Cordelia's nomination, her brother, who remained silent until then, rises off the couch. And he smiled at Silvi. When he smiles, the bearer of a feminine appearance, he has a gorgeous atmosphere as if flowers had blossomed.
"I will not replace His Highness... but while my sister is renting His Highness, would you mind staying with me, if I may?
"Yeah..."
Surprisingly, I nod reflexively.
Arthur tried to complain, but Cordelia said it first.
"Hehe! Thank you for your brother. Why don't you switch from Lord Arthur to your brother? Then I'll take Arthur."
Cordelia stands next to Arthur. Seeing the two of them lined up, Silvi breathed unexpectedly.
(... I hate to admit it... but it looks great)
Cordelia and Arthur pulled each other together as they stood next to each other and looked like a very good looking couple. And I'm shocked at myself for looking that way.
(Shit... Arthur is mine yet...)
It should be you who is loved. Don't be anxious. Even though I knew it, I couldn't help but get my chest moistened. Still desperately telling myself.
(Don't lose the game or something, me!
I'm sure you'll feel anxious because it's also a jealous event. Forgiving herself for feeling bad, Silvi forced herself to make a smile.
"Arthur, while you're dealing with Cordelia, I'm going to join you."
"I'm late for my application. I'm Gail Lycardt."
"Dear Gail. My apologies for the delay in greeting you. Sylvia Leavert."
Silvi smiles at Gail for introducing herself.
I never wanted Arthur to know I was jealous.
Because Arthur is categorically refusing Cordelia's invitation. Spending time with her is just a king's order. That's a temporary story, too. Despite that, Sylvie is jealous of her, so you can't help but think she doesn't want you to know.
(I can't believe I'm so narrow-minded, I don't look good. embarrassing)
"Silvi"
Arthur calls his name in a hurried voice. Besides, Sylvie replied in the guise of calm.
"What, Arthur?"
"... no, it's nothing"
"Yes."
Arthur seemed to have tried to say something, but in the end he clouded his words.
"Shall we go"
Gail gives me his hand on the escort. Even as he stared at it with complicated feelings, Silvi took that hand.
(Arthur's idiot)
Silvi was badly hurt that Arthur didn't stop me clearly.
