"Excuse me, Mr. Zozo, then. Best regards,"

"It's okay, I'm still free today. Good luck."

Director Loctith will have a report from me, and Mr. Zozo will get me out of the office as soon as possible. I don't have to go that far, but it was sweet on your word because it's a thankful offer.

Out of Hare I head with Lara to the Duke of Rockman residence.

"You're getting a little dark."

"Dear Nanary, please get on your back"

"Thanks"

I don't use magic formations. Not because I was afraid of failure, but because I didn't know who was there, I couldn't transfer. He seemed to want me to sneak up on it, so he hangs the magic of his seven-color coat on Lara and himself and flies through the sky.

"Then I guess I could have you flying west."

Rise to the sky with the feeling of flurries and brain floating.

I see where the Duke's residence is, more or less, in this case.

Beneath the king's island, to the west.

Maris was told about the location of the mansion and how awesome it was when she was a student, but she was not interested in the sand grain.

It was information I didn't even want to know, but when I went outside the Duke's mansion to return to Hare, I didn't like it because the island looked east.

Plus the mansion is big. In the garden there was a maze of fountains and gardens, large and like a small castle. The first time I saw the whole mansion, I accidentally tied my mouth in one letter and stared at the top of it.

My house in comparison. My house is not even a quarter the size of that garden. That's obviously not like any other noble mansion. I've never seen a noble mansion that much, but it wouldn't be that big. If that had been built many times, there would have been no trace of dust left in this country for the people to live in.

I'm not going to compete to this point, so I thought the house didn't have to be this big.

The distance from the hare to the destination is not that far. That would take a lot of time if I walked, but it wouldn't have taken that long if I'd ridden the user demon.

"Is it good here"

Swirl gurly around the mansion and get behind the Duke of Rockman mansion.

That said, the building, not just behind the mansion, outside the enclosure, again outside the fence, though. The mansion looks far away, and I don't have half the sense of unspeakable alienation. The aunt's house, three things ahead of her parents' house, is still closer. What is this place?

There were few people on the back, there was nothing there. A short walk and you can see the private house, but there is a side of green spreading around, with a blunt narrow road leading to the side.

"Dear Nanary, are you sure you want to do me a favor? Your father is Rockman."

"... well. If you go in there without permission, you can smile at me and you can do me a favor and you can make me a charlatan."

"But it's a royal palace ball, isn't it? It's too suspicious to sneak around."

"I wonder"

I was just told to come here, so I'll wait and chat with Lara.

I don't know what to do because it's good to be here, but nothing really specific has been said. Or maybe the back is too wide to be good here. Even though the bell of a star will ring in a few minutes.

It leads to Lara, who is next door. I buried my face in a comfortable hairline and meditated on my eyes. I can't help but want to sleep strangely after work. I watched the sun behind my lid, which was already about to sink completely.

"There was something about demons today, and are you tired?

Look at me like that, Lara licks my cheek.

"Yeah. I'm fine. I didn't do much of that. I'm more worried about my client, Malaya."

"... sure, that's right"

"It's good because I can afford to meditate on my eyes like this, but I'm sure Mr. Malaya isn't sleeping. There was a neighborhood under my eyes."

Honestly, I felt both physically and mentally tired.

"The demon said," Hey, sorry to keep you waiting "

A man's sinister voice whispers the conversation.

Before us, who was unraveling the magic of the seven-color coat, stood the Duke of Rockman, the opponent who had made the earlier promise.

"Holy shit."

I hurriedly wake up and bow to Lara's body. How dare you expose yourself? They recognize me as a sloppy person on top of my bad mouth. I don't like to make any more unfortunate impressions on people.

The Duke is wearing a swallow tail suit and poking a blue wand to the ground.

When he smiled at me and shook his head that he had not waited at all, he told me to come this way and paved the way for the mansion. All of a sudden the fence disappeared and appeared. As I freaked out on that path, I follow him after him with great care.

The road was through the mansion garden in grandeur, and I thought it might not make sense to sneak in. I mean, who wouldn't want to find out and say it that way?

Is it okay anyway? When I asked him, he returned because the people at the mansion were paying for anything but servants.

May I be seen by the servant?

"What, are you going inside your mansion?

The first thing they brought me in was in front of a door that I would let inside the mansion. I'm confused when she opens up there and tells me to go inside. What the hell am I...

"Um, excuse me. What do you want to be sure of? What did I do?

I was worried and asked.

"Right...... It would be nice if there was no one here."

When I went inside, it was in a room with a red carpet. However, there are no beds, bookshelves, tables, etc. Big costume? It was a murderous room with one like it in the middle of the room and just a big mirror on the wall just like that. There are three women who think they are servants in blue uniforms. I told you no one was here, but there are people just now.

What the hell is this place? I wonder if nobility spends time in a room like this. I do not know the preference of the nobility.

"As a matter of fact, my son Alwes and the fourth princess of the Kingdom of Sheila, Carola, have been married by the king.

Keep me as Pocan, the Duke closes the door and continues the conversation.

"Is it marriage? Really?"

Are you married to a princess?

Really? With the princess.

"... Huh? Is this marriage!?

Marriage?

Who did?

He married the princess!?

"He, oh Lord Alwes, that, Maris!!

Stay put, Maris! Maris, oh my god!!

Maris' favorite is marriage!! Hey, Maris!!

"Maris? Oh, you're that beautiful Marquis Caromines housemaid. He seems to like my son...... We're like royalty, so we can't help it."

The word Maris hits me in the head and hits the waves. I couldn't help but worry about her, knowing what would happen to him. I've seen that Miss Maris nearby glittering her eyes and following her son-in-law.

Or wait. I think he said something about giving me the royal end or something right now, but what does that mean? Oh, what, what.

You noticed me pointing my eyes at you, oh, I'm the second brother of the present king. What a bomb I've dropped.

King's, brother?

The second brother, of course, is the brother in that sense, right?

Then the king, that is to say, the uncle of Lockman, is the king's nephew, and the king's child, Prince Zenon, is his cousin.

And the Duke of Rockman will mean he's a former prince.

Maybe Maris said to me like, 'It's a tribute! Kai-Yi!' And was that what you said to watch your tone?

I can also snort that I'm close to Prince Zenon.

No, but even if they say that all of a sudden.

I've only studied magic so far, but I don't do any studies about nobility in school, and in general common sense, I only learned the name of the current king and the name of his child.

But you're telling people like me this, so maybe you already know something around Maris.

Ask him if it is a recognized thing among the nobles.

Then, no, he shook his head.

They say only a very small number of people know it. Of course, a very small number of them include young ladies, they said.

By the way, they don't include the Marquis Caromines.

Hey, why Maris!!

It's no wonder why I'm included when I say there's no maris in a small part of it.

"My son agrees, and the princess does."

Ignoring me with my lips open, the Duke keeps talking.

"Me and my wife are in a romantic marriage. I still have a happy life."

Do we accept each other's marriage? Then I wonder if it means Rockman has a favor too.

But if Maris found out about this story, it would be outrageous. All I can think of is the sight of the flames burning behind her.

Speaking of which, there were rumors before entering a long vacation in fourth grade that the princess of the neighboring country would visit this Dolan to meet him, something I had heard. Though I thought I was exaggerating rumors again, there are three countries adjacent to Dolan. The kingdoms of Naraguru, Vestanu and Sheila.

Maybe that neighboring princess was about that Carola.

If there had been interaction before that, there would be no denying the possibility that he had secretly nurtured love.

"So... my son's true intentions in accepting an immediate marriage are a little. I've had a few meetings with the princess, but it's vague whether she likes it there or not."

But without a heart, the Duke's face will not float.

If it was my son's marriage story, I wish it looked more fun.

"That kid keeps rumouring with women, but this time it's not a rumor. If they do, the Duchess is going to marry us."

"So... you know, what do I do?

So what do I do?

"Tonight's ball is a masquerade. I can also see Princess Carola. So I'm making one bet with the king."

"Is that a bet?

"If you two can find each other in a mask, I'll try to get lost and celebrate them."

Masquerade. I've heard chills, but I'm not sure what's going on. As for masks, I wonder if they hide their faces, but why do they hide their faces and go out of their way to hold a ball? You should have seen your face.

Maybe that's not why we're throwing the ball, is it?

That's totally king. You're having a little fun, aren't you? Was there any other way?

"Does the king say that's good?

"It was originally said thinking about the link between the country and the country. Bill, his eldest son, has now taken up his territory as Marquis of Rudelk and has become a couple with the second princess of Narragul. This is also a royal fate, but there is nothing wrong with it because I liked it. Besides, if I die, the Duke is going to give way to Bill. Since Alwes is Alwes and has been given another Marquis specifically by the King, he will live in that territory as it were after his marriage. Well, the king also says no."

…… It's a royal fate, isn't it?

"Because it's a fringe coming from over there. I like it and I didn't offer it here. The link between the country and the country is important, but he says that we, the people, are the best. But it's something that she didn't reject unexpectedly, sort of."

"So, what do I do?

This will be the third time I hear it.

It's time for answers.

"I want you to mix it up with the ball and hear my son's heart out"

"... Yes?

My son's heart?

You want me to mix it up with the ball and see if he likes the princess?

I'm rude to the Duke, but I see that face with my jit eyes.

I don't want to say this because they are talking in a very serious way......

"Um, I'd like you to forgive my disrespectful remarks, but I don't think you'll ever hear me mean it"

"That's not true."

Oh, my God. Where does such confidence come from?

"No, I can't."

"I told you you were fit, didn't I?

"Why do you think it's appropriate, Ning Lo, as much as I'd like to ask the Duke"

"Right. Let's just say your daughter walked into the mansion."

When the Duke said so, he called a servant who stood side by side in the corner of the room and turned me over to them. They push a ton on my back and say 'please'. Please? Do what?

But it seemed like I told the servants, not me, and when I told him that they might have, he grabbed my shoulders, arms and hips and took them in front of the mirror, no, pulled them away.

"Your daughter's skin, it's beautiful"

"Oh well! Nice, empty hair."

"Being a pretty lady!

"Wow."

That's what they say, but I'm about to be stripped of my clothes.

Suddenly, surprised, he held down his uniform sleeves and hem to avoid being taken off.

"I'm not a lady! Or what do you do!

Even when held down, the clothes were taken off smoothly, and at some point the shoes were also taken off.

I tried to protest against the Duke, but there was no Duke in the room.

Where have you been, that seemingly non-gentleman?

"My husband asked me to transform my daughter into a beautiful, pathetic figure that no one else could beat."

"Yes?"

"Oh, are you going to the Royal Palace Ball?

No, I guess they're going.

Even if they say so naturally.

"But, you know, I'm just a common man, right? How can you go to the ball so easily? How many are the king's brothers?"

"No? The king must know."

"Huh?"

A servant says sarah as he strips my underwear.

I don't weirdly resist when it comes to being taken off already. I feel that there is nothing I can do either way.

But the king also knew that I was part of the plan. 'Cause I don't want to do such a horrible thing to get involved in royal circumstances.

Why, why?

I've been trying so hard to be Hare's receptionist, but if I had time to do this, I'd like to gather information for Malaya as soon as possible.

"So, ma'am, you'll be fine."

That's why I'm not a lady.

Thoughts were backwards, my appearance was changed by their hands.
