Fioria put her mouth on the teacup.

…………

A finger with a cup shook.

My eyes stain with astonishing colors.

I don't believe it.

I don't think so.

"Rex's brewed tea is delicious…………?

Rich aroma of rosehip.

The refreshing acidity leaves a refreshing taste.

The cookies were excellent, too.

No burning, crisp.

The taste of simple butter spreads and I can't stop sticking with my hands.

Mogugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugu

Terrace at the Duke of Florence residence.

Fioria and her "sister-in-law" Tiara sit across from her.

While enjoying the afternoon tea time, we were supposed to discuss the future.

of

"Sister, this is delicious."

"You're right."

Mogugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugu

The two carry even cookies to their mouths.

Its flavour, just demonic.

Tiara can't even resist because she's fascinated by playing Fioria with steel spiritual power.

Mogugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugugu

There are many cookies left on a large white plate, but it would be only a matter of time before they disappear.

"This is what I mean. Could you please review it?"

"Why aren't you working harder from time to time?

"It's a secret. Do you care?"

"Nothing."

"This is my personal view..."

Ignoring Fioria's words, Rex continues.

"The lady loves something unexpected. That's why I have eyes on Tiara."

"... right. Tiara is very entertaining."

Since I met Fioria, Tiara has transformed like someone else.

He throws away the mask of the honorable duke and shows off his abusive side all over the place.

"If you return the back, the lady is very bored. I'm tired of this world.... Twenty years ago, I was wondering if that's why I was unconscious to Annerose"

"I was caught off guard."

"Have you noticed that already?... My apologies, ma'am. I imitated the offer."

"No. I'll take your advice, sincerely. Thanks."

Fioria loosened her mouth.

It was a warm grin, similar to a basket of flowers.

... Rex leaned over, not even like him, calmly sedentary.

"You're right, Rex. Twenty years ago I asked for 'unexpected'. I was creating gaps, both consciously and unconsciously. That's where Anne Rose put me.... Oh, I see. Now I know a little bit about you."

Unimaginably unsavory tea and cookies.

It was probably about him showing Fioria around.

While admonishing you not to forget the poisoning incident, satisfy your longing for something called "unexpected" -.

How roundabout.

But in retrospect, a boy named Rexor was a slightly twisted sweetheart. All right, all right, you got a cute spot, too.

"Um."

It was Tiara who raised her hand small and groaned.

It was so far outside the mosquito net. She leaned her neck,

"Mr. Rex, do you like your sister?

I threw a huge, smashed question at him.

…………

In contrast, Rex doesn't answer anything.

Unusual, he refrains behind Fioria with a sculptured, voidless expression.

"I don't know if I can shut up here to make an unexpected scene later."

Fioria spills a crunch and a smile.

"You don't have to answer that. Something that looks more interesting."

- So, Tiara, shall we sort out the status quo?

After finishing his cookies, Fioria wiped her mouth and said so.

"Thanks to Tiara, roughly a third of the Regalia Empire fell under this umbrella. Thanks."

"It is up to me to thank you. Thank you for your help, sister."

As things stand, the aristocrats who pledge to submit to Fioria have something in common.

All the sons and children of the house were involved in some way in Tiara's expulsion from the country.

Some were harassing Annerose as Elsa's surroundings.

One testified that the frustration with Annerose was Tiara's instruction.

Some breathed bad rumors of Tiara into the prince.

Because of his actions, he and they suffered severe retaliation from Tiara.

... No, I continue to receive it in its current progression.

Their necks will disappear with the dew of the truncated table when the measures being taken by Fioria are in place under the water.

"One, may I ask you something?

"Anything you can answer to me,"

"I wonder why your sister is so hostile to Annerose."

"... Speaking of which, you don't know."

Fioria lifts her golden hair.

His eyes were distant and memorable.

"You know I fell with poison 20 years ago."

"Yes," Tiara nodded.

The tragedy that befell Fioria itself is known throughout the Belgian continent.

However -

"So, who served the poison, you know?

"Uh, I'm sorry. I don't study that much."

"Don't worry about it. For you, it's every other country. … it was Annelose who tried to poison me"

"……… What?

Tiara to be taken aback.

"Ma, wait. Your sister's case was 20 years ago, wasn't it? Isn't that strange?

"You're right."

Fioria nodded.

"At the time, Annerose was sixteen. If you were alive, you'd be 36."

"So, but! Annerose in my country didn't look very 36 years old! There are limits to how much makeup you make..."

"Right, Tiara's right. … but there are exceptions in the world."

Fioria remembers.

The figure of the Duke of Canossa.

When I first met him again in twenty years, he was obese as if he were an oak.

But after the revolt, a thin, youthful figure, reminiscent of the days of the aristocratic school.

I lost weight in an investigation in prison, I can't explain just that.

Fioria questioned, ordering Lex to investigate.

As a result, it turned out to be surprising.

Rejuvenating medicine.

It's like a dream story, but apparently it exists.

The inventor is an annelose like no other.

As I followed in her footsteps, I found out, apparently, that Fioria kept sleeping without getting old at all, creating it based on the poisonous grass of that time.

"Annerose is still young with the medicine. Something I've been good at taking a man by the hand since that time. With twenty years of experience there, it would be easy to make one or two countries lean."

"... you're a horrible person, Anne Rose. What exactly is the purpose?"

"Come on? We'll have to question him there."

I already have an investigation into Annerose twenty years ago.

At the time, she was a spy of the Legalian Empire like no other.

The purpose is the chaos of the Kingdom of Tristan, and the assassination of Fioria di Florence.

Though the assassination was halfway through, Annerose went missing after shaking the kingdom of Tristan badly.

He seems to have been lurking underground for a while, but for about two years now he has been confirmed in the Legalian Empire… now blended into the aristocratic community under the title "The Falling of the Baron Cream Hilt Family".

And for some reason, he seduced the nobles of the Empire to see what he once did in the kingdom of Tristan, and fit into Prince Dark's fiancée.

Wasn't Annerose a spy for the Regalia Empire?

Why are you imitating your country into chaos?

It hasn't been so obvious yet.

"In any case, soon Annerose will come to the Kingdom of Tristan. Let's give you a big welcome."

By appointment, in two weeks.

Dalk, the first prince of the Regalia Empire, and his fiancée Annerose are to visit the Kingdom of Tristan.

I don't know what kind of thoughts you have, but this is convenient.

I owe you twenty years ago, I'll pay you back here.

… the day of the settlement, is near.
