Go to the party venue.
"Oh, um... me, really in this outfit...!?
Noon on the day after the Demon King's Castle.
Outside the castle a carriage is already available and Ain is boarding alone.
Chris with a scared noticed voice - she was on her way to the carriage that Ain waited for, with Sylvia.
"Yeah, I do. Is there a problem?
"... I don't have any chivalry shards, but I can't believe we're having a party together dressed like this -"
"That it could create unwanted misunderstandings?
"... Yes"
If I tell you, Ain't unmarried. However, the presence of Krone has been close to me since I was a student, and I am constantly exposed to friendship on every assignment.
Prince Wang is in good company with his aide, a presence named Chris who comes there.
Because today she didn't wear any knightly clothes, layered and had different hairstyles.
The outfit was a bright red dress, the hairstyle was as straight down as usual, but it was decorated with jewellery to the extent that it had elegant curls that reminded me of the nobleman's maid.
If you look at it from a third party, it should be imperative for Chris today to be suspected of getting along with Ain in a stand-up that can be described as a guest with Ain rather than a companion or escort.
Is this what Chris is concerned about, unsolicited behavior? Or aren't you doing something bad to Krone? The idea occupies the heart.
"I have no doubt about that idea. But if that's a bad thing, Ein, you're responsible."
"Dear Ein, are you?
"Yep. 'Cause you're representing me and my invitation to Cain. We're a couple, and there's no such thing as a subordination."
"So - but we have a position...!
Because he acts as a surrogate, he also participates in different forms and naturally.
Sylvia didn't just say it was obvious, but she smelled it with a light attitude.
Except Chris accepts the word again.
"You don't have to worry about anything. I don't think my words are manipulative, and if I put them in a sloppy way, the current kings won't let my wishes go."
The lineage of the first king, who is more important than anyone else in the country. Sylvia is his mother and Cain is his father.
There was no way Silvard would underestimate it, and I was confident it would make him admit that if it were to act on her behalf...
"The other noblemen are bringing in women, Ain't you the only one who isn't, or a little disgraceful, huh?
"If that's what you mean, I'm the problem with knights' clothes -"
"I do. You can't possibly tell the difference between having a knight and having a lady, the Kingsguard Knights, can you?
"Mm... mmm..."
"I don't have to worry about anything. Even if you say something when you get home, you just have to say I was strong... right?
Chris has a strong sense of responsibility to be told, and I don't want to transfer that responsibility.
I just didn't say it back strongly because inside I knew I had to go anymore.
"Look, laugh. She's so cute and beautiful, keep your chest up, Ein. Have fun with you."
And it's finally coming.
Time for Chris to leave Demon King Castle and board the carriage. We can't keep Ain already on board waiting, and her walking speed increases naturally.
"... it might have been a little forceful, but it's true I want you to have fun"
Sylvia stands in front of Chris and fine-tunes her hair, makeup, and jewelry by hand.
The look on his face at that time was so gentle, so full of inclusiveness and warm that he wanted to be unconditional and sweet.
"I know Mr. Krone very well. Good girl, smart and bold, Ain't too much of a woman to stand next to you."
"Yes, I think so too......"
Hearing the words, Chris leans down saying he can't fathom himself.
But Sylvia is the opposite of that.
"But, you know, I don't think Mr. Chris is losing. Ain, I could smile at you, I've protected you closer than anyone else, and I've thrown my life at you for that kid - it's okay. If anyone complains about you standing next to them, I will punish them."
"Haha... si, Master Sylvia's punishment sounds heavy"
"Yeah, it's heavy. I won't allow anyone in the world to grieve someone I care about.... That's enough."
Finally, he gently stroked Chris' head, nodded contentedly and pressed his back.
She clutches her hand and opens the big door, causing Chris to proceed toward the carriage just outside of it.
"There you are again, Mr. Chris. You can come whenever you want."
Unlike usual, dresses are a little hard to walk.
Was the snow magically melted or only the road leading to the carriage is exposed to cobblestones.
As soon as Chris left Demon King Castle, I guess Cain was talking to Ain about something. He is leaving the carriage and coming towards the castle.
"I'm sorry. Looks like I put it on Sylvia's hobby, and it took me a long time."
"Yes, no...... ugh! Instead, you spend so much time...... hobbies......?
"Ah. I used to wear an archet and play... because I enjoyed it."
Tea eyes, or freedom?
It's easy to imagine Sylvia like that, and Chris smiles.
"That's right. Laugh at him that way even in front of Ain. I'm not saying get Ain in the mood, but you better enjoy what you can."
"... I'll do my best"
He slumped his cobblestone path as it was and drove Chris to the carriage.
I was told to "ask Ain" without mistake, and returned it with a small voice as well as "yes".
But he stops at once, returning on his fast feet and closing in on the carriage.
"Dear Cain, what's wrong with you?
"Come to think of it, I don't think your lady's gonna be dressed to open the carriage door herself."
Escorts to carriages done by the King of Swords. That is also who is the father of the first king, what a luxury.
He hung his hand on the carriage door, prompted by the deacon of the castle in a sumptuous act.
Chris almost shy away from the trick, but gradually seeing Ain through the door that opens leaves him with a plate pinch with strong tension.
But it won't be long, either.
"I'm fine. Tighten your chest."
I was pushed back with the same words as Sylvia, and once I took a deep breath, I was able to regain my composure.
I wonder how the two of you can be so persuasive with words. Strange, but let me thank you for calming down more than that.
"Thank you. This visit gave us a lot of information"
"Ha, that was more than anything."
His silver hair shakes in the cold wind.
The silver hair that Chris learns is impressive with the childhood friendly Sierra inside the elf, but his silver hair was a human detached beauty.
Helped by a natural stream when riding the carriage, Chris stays on to the carriage.
"Dear Ein. I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I did."
He lowered his hips before him, dressed in his dress as Prince Wang, imitating him in a bright red dress, and said so with a slightly red-dyed cheek.
- Meanwhile, Ain is surprised to see Chris come late.
I've never seen her wear flashy shades of clothing, and a costume for a party, with a large empty chest or jewelry that colors her neck. Plus, it's also impressive that her golden thread-like hair is adorable and luxuriously wrapped around it.
Attractive lady from anywhere - or noble lady, you can see at a glance that she will be the target of attention at parties and nightclubs.
"Uh, Chris... right?
I checked because I was confused.
"Also - of course! Different than usual, but please treat Sylvia..."
I know Ain't though.
Something to say at a time like this, especially in Chris's case.
"Uh... I was just surprised the other day. What, but it looks great - I think it's beautiful"
Unfortunately, the vocabulary that Ein can use is not so much in these contexts.
I just understand that the people around him aren't the kind of people he lies to, and Chris is is particularly understanding. What makes Ein's gaze shake and confused is that he honestly thinks he's beautiful when he sees what he looks like today, and that's a good idea.
"Ah... that! If you have behavioral problems, please point them out…"
I have an understanding as common sense, and I have had experience with party participation many times before. but this is my first experience of working together purely as a woman.
"It's okay. It's not my first time at a party, either, and I don't think women can afford it if a man can get a good escort"
"You're right if you ask me...... but how many of you have escorted Master Ain?
"Oh, you've only had three, haven't you?
The first would be Krone, Chris thought.
Go on. I know Olivia's the second, but who's the third? Ask it in doubt.
"Mr. Krone and Master Olivia, what's the other one like?
"No... not Mr. Katima. I used to help when I wasn't too tall yet."
"Was it Master Katima... by reason"
Put your hand on the right chest where the demon stone is, relieved that it was not an unknown third party.
I broke my lips and leaked my exhale somewhere glossy.
"Well I guess I'll leave it to Dill when I get my next chance...... yeah"
"Nor, is that okay? You can say that on your own."
"This is actually the only way to do it. 'Cause it's not like I can escort you, and then... see"
It is also an erasure method and is best based on mutual friendship because Dill has been appointed her caretaker.
Nobody complains because it's a tattoo of King Silverado.
Then, as the two of them are in conversation, the carriage proceeds quietly.
"Dear Ein,"
"Hmm? What?
"... Until now, I was reluctant to tell you that it's a little different now."
"No...?
Because Ain't praised you two? Maybe you're unconsciously ready in your heart?
Even though I didn't know it was underlying, Chris had some thoughts that he gradually recruited.
"I'm so happy to be at the party next to Ein... I can't help but look forward to it"
Laughing like trouble, she's as beautiful as usual.
It's just that today that's even more feminine, and if you change your mind, you're like a girl and there's a discrepancy.
Ein also rebuts his sentiments, but I don't see the word that should be the Lord. I managed to come up with something in a nutshell.
(- Something like Chris)
They are one end of the spectrum that doesn't show much.
For example, on the return water train when I first went to Ist.
For example, the party back home when I left her and went to Baltic.
For example, a little play when you aim to be inside the elves.
Like all of this, Chris' contents are pure everywhere.
It must be one woman, rich in emotional expression, meticulously savvy of Ein.
"I really don't think I should think about this..."
"- That's not true. It's a party, so let's have some fun with Chris."
So first, let's skip the details and have fun.
This is the opportunity Sylvia gave me. Wouldn't it be a loss if I didn't?
Ain laughed and Chris broke his face after a decent look.
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
It was only a few hours later that I got to the town of Baltic.
It's just dusk time, but the sun sets fast because of winter.
The area is already dark and today's weather is easy to spend with small grains of snow pouring in and around.
"- Being over there is a more important guest than anyone else. Don't be rude."
"Ha!"
Several knights raised their voices and approached the carriage in which Ain and Chris would ride.
It should be the two of us living in Demon King's Castle on board. He is an important guest of the Lord Count Risel, and there must be no disrespect for the knights themselves.
There were already a number of carriages lined up in the large Count's mansion, but the carriage in which the two rode was led to where the best guests were headed, in front of the entrance to the mansion.
The carriage pulled by rare demons is beautiful and does not give terror to its surroundings.
Crystal horses were well-known beings if they were aristocrats here in the adventurer town of Baltic.
When the carriage stops, the surrounding nobles also stop and watch. It is unacceptable for us to put it through before guests more important than ourselves.
Some are seen by carriages, while others are impressed by the majesty of crystalline horses.
There is cold air around, but ladies and ladies are used to expose their shoulders and feet.
One knight lays his hands on the carriage door and lowers his head. Eventually, first it becomes a flux for men to show themselves, then it is a lesson for men to pull down a woman's hand, lend a hand and escort.
The knight, nervous that an important guest would come today, bows his head and waits for the two to finish their descent.
"Thanks"
Two, the man's words reached the knight's ear.
Returning a reply with your head down is disrespectful. The knight raised his face in all likeness, and tried to answer the Lord of his voice...
"Oh, are you... hello...!?
"It is His Royal Highness Prince Wang who is there...?
"Here, there's His Royal Highness Prince Wang at the party tonight?
You can't be wrong to look at it. If you are a knight or a nobleman, you can't be mistaken for a hero and a king prince.
Why are you here? Before such a question, the knight naturally breaks his knee and drips his neck.
I gave thanks to Prince Ain as he was about to be seen by a beautiful woman standing next to him.
"Dear Sylvia (,) asked me to represent you. Do you mind if I go inside?
"Also...... of course. Do you want to go straight under Count Riselle?
"Oh. I'm here on behalf of you, so I'll leave you about one of my greetings"
Hearing the words, a knight who was nearby rushes into the mansion.
other nobles who were watching, also tried to break their knees towards Ain,
"Hard greetings are unnecessary. You don't have to get your knees dirty."
Ein controls it with words and attitude, looking back and whispering to Chris.
"Chris. Let's go"
"- Yes."
Nervous. Light up. I'm still worried.
While her inner heart is irritated by many emotions, the joy of getting Ain to pull her hand prevails.
The moon also gave a jealous grin, often one step closer, forgiving his arm in his left hand.
I've never walked with you in a situation like this.
But in addition to the reliability of Ain transmitted from his arms, he finds himself feeling happy being like this.
Nature and palms also gained strength, and at the same time the distance was much closer.
