I Will Quietly Disappear

"Hello, Princess Rouchet"

The boy, who suddenly spoke up, showed him gracefully.

Good afternoon, sir.

I am also followed and greeted back.

(Could someone like this have been in this venue?

If you look so beautiful, there's no way the rumor-loving aristocrats won't say anything.

"What's up?

"No, um, may I have your name?"

"Oh, speaking of... My name is Jeremiah. My father brought me here today."

"Well, I was."

"It's Princess Luche's unveiling, so I'd love to meet you."

You can't tell me you don't have to come, I'll just snort.

"Because of this, could you dance with me?

"Uh..."

(I don't want to dance anymore if possible)

I looked in trouble and saw the hand offered.

"It's okay, I don't mind this place. Just a little..."

If they say so much, it's hard to say no any more.

"Shh, if only for a little while"

That's when I lay my hands on the palm I was offered.

"Yikes!"

I was pulled a lot, in the shape of a hug.

"Hey."

"Oh, excuse me"

"Let go of me... eh..."

I doubted my eyes. His hair should have been blonde. And yet how..., it's silver...?

"... do you accept the proposal? My niece (...)"

"Uh..."

Words whispered in my ear, my body solidified.

(What do you mean...)

"Hehe."

He couldn't move. When he pulled me, he started dancing as he was.

I stare at the boy's face in front of me as it is done but stays.

"You..."

His hair had become completely silver and his eyes had changed to purple.

"... in this look, nice to meet you. I am Emperor Gardia."

"It's real, huh?

"Of course."

When we saw each other before, it was through Joshua's appearance. I didn't know the face of Emperor Gardia. Ever since then, I've had the impression of a monster somewhere, but he was a normal person. The silver hair tied in one to her back, her slit eyes narrowed and she smiled thinly was a beautiful boy, no matter where she looked from. Nothing like the chill I felt then, not now.

I had a lot to say. Because of you, Joshua could no longer be beside Eich, and Eich was dying.

My body is about to tremble when I think about that time.

"What are you doing here?"

"I was still wondering if he had to come in person if he was going to propose. I'm sorry I'm late. I skipped consciousness a while ago during the day (...) and watched (...), but my brother didn't notice you..."

I don't feel nervous at all when I say this is an enemy country. Don't you think they'll kill you? Or are you confident that you can get out even if you are surrounded?

(Is that why Glenn was crying before...)

"The parent book that offered me marriage, are you serious?

"Of course I am."

"How could you do that..."

"Because I fell in love with the princess, then, you don't believe me. Don't look like that."

"I'm really listening"

Despite the seriousness with which I listen, I cannot find any seriousness.

"Because I need your help."

"My power..."

"Yes, I am."

Speaking of which, His Majesty the King said:

"You know the power to manipulate space, and the power of God to heal injuries."

"Yes."

"Have you heard about your mother's birth yet?

"I heard that."

"That royal family is said to have made a covenant with God once"

"God..."

"They had a lot of people with special abilities, 'Expressors'. I hear that number has decreased in recent years though. Lord Maria was powerless' incompetent '. He assumed he didn't have that factor."

"I thought I'd be lucky if I just expressed myself in space"

That's what the brutal Emperor Gardia said.

"You're thinking about it. It's not a bad thing, is it?

When he said that, he put his face close to my ear.

"Huh?"

"If you marry me, I'll stop waging war on you"

Dokun, I see your heart rattled loudly.

"War, were you going to set it up?

"I'm wondering if that's okay, too. It's in a good position, isn't it, the Kingdom of Asteria? You know what? Winter in my empire is very harsh. The port town is closed with ice. By land, we manage to melt the snow while carrying supplies."

"The great northern powers make a lot of noise."

"That's all that's hard. The kingdom of Asteria is fascinating in terms of land and sea. I want it."

(I'm thinking more decent than I thought)

It felt a little strange then, but now it seemed decent. To make my country a little wealthier, take the territory of another country. It's a common story.

I exhaled to calm myself.

(All I can say, there's only one thing right now)

"... there's nothing I can say about marriage."

After that, he led me to the mansion's library and gave me a genealogy chart. It was so thick, but I checked the stuff from the last 200 years.

(The Duke of Listil clan has not been allowed to daughter-in-law outside until relatives)

What it means is, when you get a husband or wife, you're letting them all change their last names to listile.

(And well, somehow..., a lot of free love. The origin of the person who came in was written under his name, but "Death row inmate," "executioner," "interracial," whatever. Most of them were 'nobles', but speaking of which, there were 'royal descendants of doomed nations' and so on)

So I can't decide whether I'm getting married or not in one place. It wasn't like I wouldn't think about it for a second. I'm leaving this country, so I was wondering if that's also in the form of a marriage.

(It's just that my daughter-in-law to the Gardia Empire can't guarantee my life, and there's no guarantee anywhere that I won't be at war in the first place. I don't know what's going to happen, but I don't want to marry you)

"... if you told me I was gonna marry you here, I could grab you right now."

Can you believe I told you not to grab him? He's an enemy. I felt a sense of crisis in the circumstances in which I was placed. Try to distance yourself from twitching.

Tension dominated the scene.

"Can you give up the fertile lands and seas of the Kingdom of Asteria for me going to your country? I don't know if you're going to wage war, but I can't get back to you with a proposal."

"Maybe I won't give up on you guys. But I don't care, that's not true. That's fine if you stay with me. [M] Your wish will come true."

Foreword withdrawn. Still a little strange.

"You've bought so much about me."

"Sort of. I said I wanted your help for an external reason. You're the one I really want."

"Me? What do you mean?"

"There's not a lot of people who feel the same way about me."

"You don't know. I've never felt different."

"Really?

He looked so strange. Too surprised to see the look on his face, I could tell he was saying it in vegetables.

"Yeah... What are you talking about?"

"Don't people seem like bugs or something?

Asked with a really decent look.

"I don't think so!

I never thought it was a bug. Oh, my God.

"So you've never been uncomfortable with your power to yourself in this world?

"Huh?"

When they said that, I seriously saw Emperor Gardia.

(uncomfortable? Something like that...)

When I thought the silence flowed between them, I was drawn forward by the pretense.

Chiu.

The moment stopped.

(Chu?

Warm feeling on cheeks.

(Huh? Yep!!??

Beautiful face in front of you!

"Hey, what, you gotta!

Do what! I tried to say, and now I was pulled with a strong force behind my arm.

"Lady!"

An angry face that I can't think of in the end from my usual Luca.

"What have you done to your daughter! I'll kill you..."

It's an unthinkable cold out of my usual Luca, a resourceful voice.

In addition, two adults stood between me and Emperor Gardia.

"Oh, Father!? Gowen!?"

I don't know from behind, but your father also seemed angry.

"I don't remember inviting the Gardia royal family..."

With that said, your father pulled out his lower back sword and pointed his cut at Emperor Gardia.

"Good evening, Duke of Listil. No, brother-in-law?

Emperor Gardia laughed invincibly.

"... what? Are you the Emperor?

My father, who was called my brother-in-law, murmured in an incredible voice.

"Exactly. If you look at the color of this hair, and the color of your eyes, you know what I mean? Because she's just like your wife and your precious princess."

"... what are you doing here"

"You must have figured that out. I still didn't think he should come if he was going to propose."

"This is weird. You can't complain if they kill you for stepping into this land."

Gowen takes a step with his sword.

"Yes, sir. I'm sorry they killed you. I'm leaving now. Come on. Let me hear your answer next time, princess."

Emperor Gardia smiled at me.

"Shut up, kid!

Gowen barked.

"Shut up. You don't have to tell me to go home."

When I said that and put my hands together, suddenly they turned to us and countless blades of ice flew in.

"Huh!?

"Shit!"

When your father waved, the flames enveloped the area and melted the blade of ice.

Water vapor made by the evaporation of ice, making the area invisible.

"Wait!!

Gowen goes after him, but there was already no sign of Emperor Gardia there.

"Shit, did you get away? Gowen!"

"I'll look!

Gowen ran toward the building when he said so.

Your father, who saw it through, gazed at me.

"Rouchet"

"Yes, Father"

My spine stretched to your father's too cold voice. But the next moment I was embraced.

"I'm glad you're okay. Didn't they do anything?

"Yeah, I'm fine"

When you held me in your arms and were satisfied, face to face, your father looked abominably. And wipe my cheeks with white gloves. He's got a smiley face at some point, a little scary. And it hurts because it wipes too hard.

"Dear Adolph, if you wipe it too hard, there's a scratch on the lady's cheek..."

"Oh, right. I'm sorry, Luche."

"Yes, no"

Luca, that's good. You told me.

"... what did they say?

I thought you knew, but I answered honestly.

"Father, there must be a fringe discourse between Emperor Gardia and me. That's what they said."

When I said that, your father defied his gaze.

Luca had an indescribable look on her face.

"Right..."

"Yeah. You haven't responded yet, have you? What are you going to do?

"Luche doesn't have to think about it."

Your father holds me up.

"But!!

"I can't decide that even in my presence. Come on, let's go home.

More than that, your father wouldn't let me say anything.
