Good afternoon, gentlemen. I'm Luche. I'm here today at my father's place of work. I have something to tell you.

The Royal Palace is huge for nothing.

"I've been to the rear palace before, but I've never seen anything like it... Luca, you don't get lost."

Proceed earlier as Luca urged. To be honest, it's perfectly clear where this place is. Every building looks the same everywhere. Go right, turn left, go straight. What maze?

It's refreshing who the hell is doing what where.

Besides, I don't see people from earlier. Is this what the workplace is all about? Does everyone pull into the room to work? I find it a little creepy.

"Lord Joshua taught me. And if you're still like a lady, you're attracted to people, so you're going down a backroad with little crowd."

Luca pulls my hand, doesn't show any confusion, and goes on suddenly.

"You are."

I see. It's definitely decided to be surprising if a kid like me were at work. He's a really nice kid.

I could see a long hallway as I bent over there for a while.

"Aren't you tired? It's about time."

And that's when I tried to turn the corner. Luca stopped.

I almost raised my voice, but Luca held me in and pressed my mouth. What a posture.

Oh, what? I turned my face to Luca. Luca left her index finger on her mouth with no expression. Do you mean quietly? There's a voice of people from across the corner... Are you the one who has to hide... I mean, do we have to hide, like, too many people?

I peered softly through the corner. But in an instant, Luca hugs me.

For a moment, but I saw it.

That's...

Isn't it Princess Eich's or the Marquis' father's? That belly is for sure. But who was the man next to him? He wore a brown hood softly. Because it came with the crest of this country. I was assumed to be in some position.

But what are they talking about...

It's hard to hear because it's away from where they are from here, and there's the sound of the wind shaking the trees.

"... Yuri... Ko..."

"Nah... I am!! Fuck... how...!!

I just found you quite angry, apparently. What do you mean, a ghost? Come on, man. I'm refreshed about this. What are you talking about? I don't know how long you're gonna do this. Haven't you been eavesdropping a lot lately?

"Luca... Let's go another way."

Speak quietly. I don't know what you're talking about, and I didn't think it meant anything at the moment. And that hood human, yes. Intuition told me.

But seeing Luca's face is pretty serious. Maybe Luca's listening? Could the root of a ghost rumor be the Marquis or something...?

That's when.

"Rumors are already spreading!!

Biku

It sounded so good that I didn't think I could hear it until just now. Rumors are spreading? Did you do something, that marquis? Or were you able to get rid of it and become a rash? I do have hair that looks like a rash on me.

"Oh, my lady!

Luca's voice suddenly got harsher. I was frightened.

Luca was looking behind me.

Shadowed us.

Bullshit! I look back.

Then there's...

"Count Barlton..."

I stood with my fingers all over my mouth.

"What the hell is Princess Luche doing?

I snuck into a nearby room without making a sound.

"Oh, I had a delivery for your father..., and if I was going through the shortcut, I'd be at that scene..."

I never stood ear to ear!

Then.

"What if I say this, but don't come too close to the Marquis"

I didn't know why. I've never seen that guy before.

"The Marquis doesn't like the Listil family. Well, I don't know what you're gonna do to a little princess, but not really..."

He looks uncommonly troubled.

Really? Does the Marquis hate our house? Naturally, there is no such thing as being liked by all humans in the world. Will it be all right if the house doesn't like me that I will be a close relative? Master Eich didn't seem to like it though.

"Thank you for your concern"

Well, I should say thank you. To thank you, I was told. Wow, don't soothe. The Count is quite beautiful, too. He now turns his attention to Luca.

"Curiosity will destroy you, too, squire. Don't put the Lord in danger.... because you can't stay away from Princess Luche. The Royal Palace is a demon."

It was a word I had been told before. Back then and still, I wasn't asking you out of curiosity.

"Thank you for your concern"

Luca thanked him without even being Nicoli. I was a little confused. I thought it might be disrespectful. Luca's faceless expression is usually driving, but it's this world that doesn't work. but he didn't seem particularly concerned.

"Well, I have to go now, too. I'd like to send you, but... You know where the marshal is."

"Yes, Luca..."

I can't go home alone to the carriage anymore. That's why I don't know.

"Protect the princess, squire."

"Of course you are"

Wow, clearly, what a handsome statement.

"Well, I'll see you later. Pretty Princess Luche."

I didn't kiss my hand like I did then, but I bowed gracefully and left.

"Luca."

"Yes."

"Marquis, do you know anything about ghosts?

I asked Luca. But Luca's expression doesn't change.

"I don't know."

"Luca, you were serious."

"I tried to listen seriously because it was hard to hear, but I still had a distance, so I didn't hear it. But it's about the Marquis. Perhaps you are angry that there are rumors like that in the rear palace where your own daughter, the Queen, is."

I don't know if that's a lie or not. But I thought it was possible because I'm certainly a nobleman who seems to care about Menz. And no matter how much you ask, Luca won't answer... Then Luca spoke to me this time.

"Lady, do you know her now?"

After checking that the Count had completely disappeared, Luca opened her mouth.

Speaking of which, Luca wasn't there then.

"Yeah, I met you the first time I met Eich. Count Barlton, surely the profession..."

"Doctor, right"

"Oh, I knew."

Maybe he's quite famous... I think I'll put you on the list of people who might teach you those meds.

"He's quite famous... Don't get too close to him."

Luca's face is faceless, but it was cold somewhere.

"Why...?

"Because it's a frigid way"

I ran out of words.

"I wonder..., you've helped me and..."

Speaking of which, he helped me before. Is it the sweetness of the Japanese of previous life that makes me think of them as good people?

"Ma'am, do you like it"

"Yes?"

Skinanodesca? What?

"Do you like the Count?"

Luca's face is even more serious. What makes that happen?

"What are you talking about? I thought you were a good person because you helped me. I wonder how old the difference is."

Why do you like people my father's age?

"Then I don't mind... I don't like to see blood in vain, either."

I can't hear you, because I can't hear the last word.

"There, Master Adolph's..."

Luca's words broke off. Instead, the further we go down this hallway, the more chilly I feel. I wonder if it's my fault.

"Dear Adolph..."

I can hear Luca yelling. And staring at the end of his gaze, several knights were wandering in front of one door. Oh, I've seen those two before.

"Luca, that door with so many knights is your father's office...?

I feel like somehow something like cold air is emanating from it...

"That's right. Perhaps it was time for something to appear to interfere with your husband's absolute zero degree air. Let's get it delivered quickly, ma'am."

"Oh, yeah."

I held the pie wrapper tight.

One knight was pushed by the knights and stood in front of the door. Apparently he was sacrificed. Poor thing... But the face of the sacrifice looked familiar. Oh, isn't that the knight then?

"The knight from that time?

That's what I called it.
