The bustling residence of Prince Wang today.
Archet, who took a trip to the training ground, shut up.
She always comes up with a relaxed look, now she narrows her eyes and sees Marco solidified like white ice and approaches.
"... this sword you gave it to me?
Archet refers to the great sword set forth by Marco.
"Yes. As soon as I gave it to you, I talked a little bit, and then suddenly Marco..."
"I think I said it yesterday"
"Er...?
"I said I think it would be busy if I gave Marco my sword. That's what happened, isn't it?
It's far from busy.
Ain't got his eyes black and white, and Dill, who's been calling Archet, can't hide his confusion again and put his arms together.
"You don't have to worry. Marco just got into the cocoon. You'll be out on your own in a little while, so why don't you slap it and make it two straight?
"I wouldn't do that if you asked me to. Oh, so you're okay?
"Yeah. To put it plainly, Marco's just trying to evolve"
Evolution? Unexpectedly Ain opens up and blinks repeatedly.
"I saw something good before I went back to the castle. I'm proud of you and your sister."
When Archet says so, he slowly returns to the mansion.
"Dear Ein, it seems that Marco is safe."
"... evolution. What should I do?"
"No, I don't care what you do. I was wondering if you might want to wait."
"In the meantime, why don't you tell everyone in the mansion about this? Marco says he's gonna be okay, so he's gonna watch."
"I understand. Should I keep an eye on him instead from the Black Knight?
"Uh... right. When Marco finishes his evolution, I want to avoid no one being around."
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
In response to Graf listening curiously, Ain tells the story that follows.
"I don't think it's been two days. In the middle of the night when I was sleeping, a bright white light plunged in from the gap between the curtains, different from the morning sun."
Then Ain, flying up from the bed, left the feather-woven room with his coat.
A leg to the training ground, he said, caused a muscle crack in Marco's armor back, which was solidified in white.
"Mr. Archet said cocoon. You were right. When the crack opened, Marco, like a normal person, slowly came out."
The polished flesh is the fierce warrior himself, a skinny but muscular figure with no waste.
Aged faces and gray hair as sharply polished, the elegance to let drift was faithfully lived Marco himself, Ein says.
When I said what happened after that.
"I had a hard time explaining it to everyone, but Mr. Archet was kind to me, too."
"I see. There's been another very rare phenomenon."
"I hurried to get Marco's clothes that evolved - I asked the castle servant because hope was a moveable swallow tail suit. You keep your armor on because Marco wants it himself."
"... no, you're just amazed. And Lord Marco evolved into Durahan?
It becomes such an evolution when Graf says in the lineage he knows.
But.
"No, sir."
Ain shakes his neck to the side and answers.
"Mr. Archet said it sounded like a demon called 'Demon'. It's like a fairy tale, a demon of a species called the devil."
"Hmm, I've never even heard of Non. But when it comes to demons, I guess they're powerful demons."
"Looks like it. Marco himself was delighted with the ability to rise throughout his body. But he said he couldn't beat Mr. Cain."
"Well... but it was a sudden evolution."
"- It seems to be a new way of doing loyalty to Marco."
"Hmm?
"It's not enough loyalty to do as a knight," he said.
Then we have to explore another path.
The path of serving like a deacon, that was still left.
But serving like a butler with an armored body is something different than not dressed.
Marco had a little admiration.
It's not like lowering your pride as a knight, but what if, for example, you were choosing a different way of life and you were wearing swallow tail clothes and serving beside your master? Such admiration.
Again, that has a body of innocent armor as a disorder, and it's not something to bother with.
"He said he was only a knight. He just said there's more he can do with a new look."
"... that sounds like Lord Marco."
"Ha-ha-ha. That's right."
Shortly afterwards, that Marco finished preparing the tea and took his feet.
"Thank you for waiting"
"Lord Marco, you look great in that swallow tail suit."
"This is it. I'm honored to compliment you."
Marco's grin never seen before.
It's a funny grin where you haven't lost your knight's awesomeness in a favorable place like Warren's.
"Actually, I was apprenticed to Lord Martha."
"I said, Marco. I've had enough work done, and Martha said she had nothing to say."
"I'm glad to hear that word, but I haven't"
Sooner or later, one Marco would be enough to take care of Ain around him. Graf shrugs when he sees Marco brewing tea with sophisticated motion, thinking in his heart.
"There's going to be less Krone."
Then Marco replied "No".
"The time for thought comes when Master Krone was taken over."
Ain't that right? and surprise, but the two venerable elders continue the conversation without worrying.
"If you ask me, I'm grateful that Lord Marco stays close to me at that time, even from my grandfather."
"Make sure Lord Martha helps. But I can also refrain from serving as an escort."
"Good thing. The future seems bright and above all."
"Um, both of you? I think I'm quick."
"- I wonder what you're going to say. Dear Ain, I finished my wedding with my wife at thirteen. My son Harley was a late eighteen for nobility, but he made Krone money that year."
This year, no, Ain't going to be sixteen on her forthcoming birthday.
Krone, on the other hand, is nineteen years old, and if I say so, noble common sense should plug him into procrastination.
Although it is not about bringing royalty and nobility together, to put it that way, royalty marries faster.
"Lord Ain will understand the responsibility of Prince Wang... but as a subjects, I still want to ask for a succession without any worries"
"..."
"Heim also had as few as four children until the country fell. In Ishtarika, there are only three sons of His Majesty Silvado. But it's never uncommon to have more than five sons of bitches, even if they're nobles there."
"Lord Graff has a point to make. It's a big country called Ishtarika, so more people will go for the better."
Soon we will be talking about the inheritance.
Ain't laughing bitterly about what's going on, but it's not like they don't know what to say.
"Wow, because I know!
"I didn't think it would be much for a third party to say, but no, as long as I've been shown the feeling of being a jerk with Krone, at least, I'd like to see Hitoshi while he's alive."
I'll do good. I feel this reply is different too, Ain't said nothing and nodded.
"It's not like any other royalty in the case of Master Ain, though. There's a story about its lifespan."
"Um, Marco? That."
"Age is a big reason for the king to leave, but it's like Ein doesn't have it. than that, because I don't even know if the world tree has a lifespan."
Therefore, it is said that the rule by Ein will last for a long time.
"Um, but I'm probably leaving. You must have children, so I think you'll give them the throne."
What about after that, what do you do?
It could be time to leave the King's Capital with those close by and make a trip or whatever you can. But by then, my heart was broken when I thought that someone I knew was ahead of me in life.
"- Sooner or later, you're talking about the future. Whatever it is, we await Ein's reign and succession."
That's what Graf says. He reaches for the bag he brings.
"I don't even have to take any more time from Ein. It's time to talk about work."
And that's as soon as he says it.
The hall door was knocked lightly, and it was Krone that was just on topic.
"That, Krone?
"I'm suddenly sorry. Have you already started talking about your work?
"Coming up, what's going on?
"Phew... then it was just fine"
Then she gently turned to Ain's side in her footsteps and reached out in front of Ain.
"Hmm?"
Is something wrong?
I was curious but Ain takes her hand and stands up pulled by the smooth touch.
"I'll take it from here when you talk about your work with Grandpa."
"Um, what's the sudden matter?
"It's a secret. Well, Ein's tired, so take a rest. Right?"
What surprised me was Graf, and the three of them, including Marco.
Ain loses the poor grin directed at Krone and walks out with her back pressed against her.
"I don't care if they say I'm resting...!
"Olivia was having tea with Martha, so take your time there if you like. It's okay, don't worry. I'll take care of your work."
After all, today she is forceful.
In the end, Ain leaves the hall and heads under Olivia.
As soon as he leaves, Krone takes the seat where Ain was sitting down until just now.
"Grandpa."
"Ha... what's the sudden matter?"
"Before we talk about your work, there's one thing I'd like you to do."
"Cooperate with Non?
That's what Krone said, and he grinned softly.
◇ ◇ ◇ ◇
Change of place. Behind the mansion.
Chris was in a place where plants and colorful flowers were planted by the training ground.
"... what shall we do"
One thing, she has a problem.
I'm worried about what to give Ain's birthday, which is coming soon.
"Ugh... what Ein wants. What makes Ein happy..."
If Ain't a civilian, for example, it wouldn't have been the same story.
If you are also Prince Wang, you will be surrounded by luxuries in castles and mansions, and you will soon get what you want.
Ein is not one who has a strong appetite, but there are no verses where he wants something strong.
"I don't know what to do, I can't think of anything. Ugh...!
It's been a few dozen years since I held my head.
Do you see her like that, or do you see her by chance?
Gassa, gussa.
The nearby hedge unnaturally rocked.
"So who is it?!?
Chris dyes his cheeks bright red as he may have been seen embarrassed.
But what came was someone who didn't need such shame.
"Pfft... it's my turn!? Really?
The wasting cat that came had many leaves wrapped around his fur.
