"Good day, Rouchet. Did you sleep well?
"Morning Eich... Sleep well..."
I went to Eich's room to have breakfast with him.
I hardened. A luxurious meal you can't eat on the table. I can't believe it looks delicious. It blew my mind all at once.
And I understood why Luca didn't come. That kid, you knew, absolutely. Reasonably, I felt that the hair decoration was extravagant.
"Oh to the Queen, Your Majesty!?
How dare you be there, the king and his wife. The queen had just removed her mask.
"Hey, good morning. Princess Luche."
Good afternoon.
Dust.
Good afternoon, sir.
Wait, what are you doing in the morning?
"Because of this, and I don't want to have dinner with you. I asked the queen out, too. Wouldn't Rasmere be here later? Because I ambushed you earlier."
An ambush. Can you come to His Highness Rasmere?
"Heh."
I try my best not to make my face stick and make a smile.
"Did you sleep well yesterday?
I remembered yesterday and smiled and answered.
"Yeah, very much. Thank you for a beautiful room."
"That's good. Hey, queen."
"Yeah, I picked the conditioner."
You two chuckled at each other.
Oh, my God, is it the queen who chose me? or is it all brand new!? That's royalty, the way you think is rich.
It was then.
"It's late"
It was His Highness Rasmere who came in. I'm scuffling the yawn. Wow, looks sleepy. He's got a letter on his pretty face that says he's nasty.
"It's late. Rasmere."
"I'm sorry, Father"
That's how I got to my seat, and the nervous breakfast party started.
Around that time, Luca prepared tea in the hall where Luche was staying.
I wondered if the lady would be okay. By now, that sensitive lady may be in a grumpy mood when she realizes she's escaped. But it's not appropriate for me to go either. Besides, a lady would do well, and the king doesn't worry because he likes the lady.
It was then, there was a human sign on the front door. Signs of a sudden appearance. This would not be a woman official. Of course I'm not a lady. Luca heads to the front door with her hands on a hidden weapon.
I opened the door.
"... Lord Joshua"
It was Joshua standing there.
Good morning, Lord Luca.
He grins. Somehow I got close enough to him to talk to the public. It's only a better position over there.
Still not even credible.
"What is it, something for the lady?
I don't know if there's anything wrong with that young lady, but I got worried.
"No, nothing. However, I was concerned about Mr. Rouchet yesterday.
Luca's face got tougher. Yesterday, I was only around the hall, like, hidden. Joshua should have been the son of a nobleman, but is it also a secret? But I've never heard of nobility becoming a secret. There's no way a squire by Eich can't fight, but at least there's a difference between the secrets that are in the dark and the signs of a strong person in the light. Luca knows that very well. Yesterday, I was around the hall in a secret place belonging to the darkness.
"Looks like you'll be fine if you're looking good. Don't look like that. I've been taught one way or another to fight from people who belong to you."
"Really?"
"Sometimes it's better because of my appearance. The posterior palace is mixed with many signs. Especially if you have your qualities (...), like Master Rouchet, you will be attracted. Master Eich has been here since birth, so I guess that's not true. I was a little worried because there was a lot going on with Eich-sama too. She's my daughter's friend."
Apparently, he was worried about the Lord. Let me thank you for that.
"I'll have the talisman's boundaries put up later. It's the next day, so you'll be fine with that. Thank you for taking the time."
"Luche, you didn't eat much."
That's right. Guess what, I'm a chicken.
"Nervous stuff"
I don't even feel the taste of the meal because of it.
"Well, from now on, let's go."
I'm serious about it, you princess. I think so. By my side.
"Joshua, Luca, me and Luche, oh, you're my brother. Catch a knight who looks free after..."
I was calculating the number of people as I broke my fingers. Will the knights end up getting involved... It's the admiration of the people who protect the king once and for all.
"You don't have to look like that. It's going to be a good workout."
"Workout?"
"Where to look when an intruder comes to the rear palace"
"Wait a minute. Knight, are you entering the rear palace?
Well, I'd let you in on a mission, but... You can't go into a place where the basic king's daughter-in-law is but the king, can you? Except for his father, the Marquis, the doctor and your father, I suppose.
"Yes, because your mother is the only queen now. I'm pregnant right now, so on the contrary, I don't want you to protect me close by."
"Is that what it is?
"That's what it looks like. Oh, Luca and Joshua."
I saw two forward. Oh, there was something I had to tell Luca.
"Luca."
"Welcome home"
I sneered at Luca. I haven't forgotten my breakfast grudges.
"What's going on?"
That's white.
"You knew."
"I don't know what you mean."
Luca said with no expression. Oops, I told you. I'm a lady. You spoil me, but you only run away at times like this. Fine.
"I hate Luca"
I just turned away. Suffer a little.
It was silent. What, maybe not at all? Oh, could this kid actually hate me? That's so, I'm shocked... I saw Luca for a moment.
Huh.
I was surprised.
It's solidified.
Literally, it's solidified.
No expression, but somewhere my face was blue, my eyes were dead.
"Le, Luca?
I wave in front of Luca but have no reaction.
"Oh, you're hardening up."
"You're solidifying"
Eich and Joshua are totally bystanders.
"I don't know if you were shocked, but Luche told me you didn't like it. Think of me, too."
"What do you say? I'm always thinking of you."
"You lied"
"Luca! You're lying! Because I love you!! Please go back to normal!!
I didn't know you'd be shocked so far... I swallowed Luca as much as I could.
"Is it true...?
I got angry in my eyes.
"Yeah, I love it. I can't believe I hate you!
"I love your daughter, too."
Looks like you managed to get back to your usual Luca.
