Outaishihi ni Nante Naritakunai!!

◇ ◇ ◇

The evening party, which invited all the conference participants, was held in a grand manner.

In the largest hall of the royal castle, the court band offers pleasant sounds.Of course, there is no absent person.

Everyone participated and talked to people in the countries they were concerned about.

At the international conference that will finally begin tomorrow, not only the joint meeting but also the bilateral meeting will be held.

Nevertheless, it's a night club that brings everyone together.Everyone talked to various people about each being an opportunity to gather information.

Raid, who participated in the evening party with him, said he had found Prince Hendrick and Ilya and went there earlier.Especially since she wanted to talk to Ilya, she can see the story playing from a distance.

Prince Hendrick doesn't seem to be interesting, but he doesn't intend to disturb me.

I wondered if the faces of Arkanam would come into contact with Ilya, but they were blind to Ilya and left early.Aren't you interested in gathering people?

Then I wonder why I went out of my way to participate, but perhaps there is something they would like to see.I hope that the bilateral meeting will make sense of their purpose.

There is also the Eighth Prince of Talim.

He was surrounded by the faces of the surrounding countries of Talim.When I came to the Japanese-style café, my blunt expression lurked.As a prince who had come as a representative, he had dealt with everyone with a proper attitude.

"Ah...."

I've found someone I don't like.

King Sahajah, Maximilian.

It seemed to me that I was becoming king and that the atmosphere that had originally been insubordinate was increasing.

"... Liddy"

"Yeah, it's okay."

Fried whispers my name.I suppose you've noticed who I'm looking at.

Since I am attending the night party as Princess Fried this time, I don't think it will be strange, but I don't think I have overstepped my vigilance.

Surrounded by many people, King Maximilian was as majestic as ever, like a king of great powers.After all, the mouth looks like a smile... but perhaps you're not really laughing.I know such a man.

Liddy, let's go to the balcony.

"... yeah"

Fried asked me to take a break when I had a complicated feeling.

As the prince and wife of the host country, they cannot leave before everyone else, but they are allowed to take a short break.Fried pulls his hand and leaves the balcony through a nearby window.On the other side of the thick curtain was a beautiful night sky.

"... uhh"

The atmosphere inside the venue was so hot that the wind was very pleasant when you went outside.

Luckily, we were the only ones on the balcony, and it was perfect for a breath.

"Let's take a break before we go back."

"Yeah."

Nod at Fried's suggestion.He leaned against him in his evening clothes.I'm glad you hugged me as usual.The rough heart was healed by my husband's body temperature, which I felt even after wearing clothes.

"Fred, I love you."

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"... nothing"

Put your cheeks against him. This is the kind of time when I think I need to be with this person.

I realize that he is so important to me in these trivial times.

When I was enjoying the space between the two, I was surprised to hear a voice from behind.

"You were here?"

"Eh!?"

Looking back, King Maximilian appeared on the balcony.

I can look him in the eye. Silver grey eyes still contained cold light today.

I've been looking for you since you disappeared, princess.

"Majesty Maximilian....."

"Long time no see, I haven't spoken to you since I came to Wilhelm.Apparently, the Wilhelm people don't want you and me to meet.I felt it was artificial, but I just had to get out of here. "

……

Point your gaze at Freed. So I figured.

I didn't realize, but apparently everyone was trying to keep King Maximilian and me from seeing each other intentionally.If you think you've ever been kidnapped, that's a natural course of action.I didn't want to see you either.

Fried quickly attracts me.I said so in a harsh tone.

"King Maximilian doesn't seem to know anything about courtesy.I didn't think it would interfere with the couple being alone.It's so innocent.And you ignored me as your husband and spoke to the queen without permission.I don't know how much a country called Sahajah is. "

--Eh!?

I was relieved by the words that I could only think of as seditious.

Look at Fried's face.His eyes were as cold as those of King Maximilian, and the temperature of the field dropped several times at a time.

- Fu, Fried, are you crazy?

Isn't the boiling point too low for King Maximilian?

However, if I remember the last time I saw each other, I might not be able to help it.

--No, I can't help it...? Really?

In great confusion, King Maximilian responded flatly.

"What was that, Prince Friedrich?Forgive me, my princess was there and you didn't notice. "

As always, from the top. No, he's a king.

But it's definitely a lie that you didn't notice.Definitely decided to deliberately ignore Fried.These two hate each other a lot.

Fried pulls me closer to myself.I told King Maximilian to show him.

"Who said it was your queen?You're too tired to be king and hallucinating, Maximilian.She is my queen.Shouldn't you have gone to the doctor instead of coming to Wilhelm? "

"It's even healthy, so don't worry.I was just about to meet my queen.It was quite convenient for the international conference to be held in Wilhelm.I missed you, princess. Ah, if my late father found out that she had moved from herself to the Queen's Club, he'd be surprised.I was surprised myself. "

I am not happy at all even if they say I miss you.Rather, in the presence of her husband, the married woman draws heavily on the nerves of the Maximilian King, who treats her as her 'rightful queen'.

Fried reacted sensitively to the word "concubine."

"Shofu? You must be the mistake of the concubine.Liddy is my queen, not yours. "

"Yeah? Yeah, right now. Soon you'll be my queen, so it won't be a mistake to call me the righteous queen.Oh, and Prince Friedrich. Don't let the princess misunderstand you.I don't have a concubine.After all, I made them all quit at the same time as I took the throne. "

"Eh...."

There was a voice in the unexpected.Fried stared at King Maximilian in surprise.

"--You let the concubine quit?What the hell are you thinking? "

"What, my concubine hates the presence of the concubine.I just fulfilled the Queen's wish.- Hey, princess, you didn't like me having a concubine, did you?I made my wish come true, is that okay? "

With a nasty smile, King Maximilian repeated his words.

"You said you didn't like a man with a concubine.I'm sure you'll take responsibility. "

I knew my face was cramped.

--Certainly, I remember saying no to a man with a concubine, but it's not like we're going out or getting married...!

"... I'm Fred's Queen and I have nothing to do with you."

"Oh, my God, that's a long way off.Are you mad you're late to pick me up?We're going to have a big wedding, so fix it, princess. "

"No, I don't need it. I am the Queen of Frieds."

Shake your head sideways.Marrying this man is no joke.

But the atmosphere isn't the same as when I met you before, so I'm confused.My attitude towards me is much softer or gentler than before... it feels strange.He was supposed to look at people with cold, worthy eyes.

King Maximilian says that his subtle face made him realize what he was thinking.

"What, is it strange that you've changed your attitude?I'm human, too.It's only natural that you have a different attitude towards a woman you love. "
