Outaishihi ni Nante Naritakunai!!

"So? What are you talking about Fried?

I got dressed and invited Fried to the couch. I've taken the time for something I'm not sure about, but I certainly should have talked to Fried. That's what I thought, and I called the maid and made her prepare tea, and then I cut the conversation.

"Oh yeah......"

Sayingly mouthwatering. I sighed with the expression that I didn't feel comfortable.

Fried, who sat next to me, not in the front, holds a cup of tea and mouths. I took a sip and loosened my mouth.

"Is this Appletie? Smells good."

"You know what? It's the new tea Miss Lambert got me at the tea party the other day. Because those tea plantations over there are wonderful."

I laugh gladly that you understand. Fried told me to narrow my eyes and remember.

"... Speaking of which, it had also reached the castle. Liddy's close to Count Lambert's maid, isn't he?"

"I had a chance to get to know him by chance. Or did you think maybe I didn't have a friend of the same sex?

When I stared back, I was laughed back gently.

"No way. I've heard that lately, too, because Liddy's salon seems famous. You know, a pile of rare teas and treats."

"... that's why"

Sure, tea parties are often used as a place to announce new pieces, but I didn't think they were getting that recognition.

"With that, I hear there will be more people hoping to join the salon of the Duke of Vivoir. You don't come directly to Liddy?

"Sometimes when I go out to a night club, I get surrounded by ladies I don't know..."

I assumed it was something swarmed by the position of 'Duke of Vivoir's Lady'.

"It was just for tea and sweets..."

It may be obvious if you consider them to be an old courtesan. They asked me what I hadn't thought about before and I squeezed my eyes out.

"Freed is where do you get that story from?

"You're Carla in this case. I think you're pretty familiar with Liddy's rumors because they're gonna be in my ear, right?

"Kara...?

I was told it was information from that seriously looking Chief Grimm, and I'm surprised.

She didn't look that type.

"You said you couldn't fool around with the rumors about the women, but you're right."

"Oh, that's where it came from."

Rumors from a woman official. Sounds amazing.

I was very convinced, and I encouraged Fried to continue the conversation.

After a little hesitation, he opened his mouth just saying he had no choice.

"... Actually, Prince of Sahaja is coming."

"To?"

I was told something I didn't think I would do, and I asked back.

"Sahaja's?... It's not like a hostile state from the other side even if you say it during the truce. Can a prince of a kingdom like that come?

"I don't think it's possible if you think about it in common sense, but it's not a diplomatic problem"

Fried with a sinister face. I only found out that I didn't even welcome you from that mouthful.

Naturally, it is only a troublesome extreme, such as the visit of the King Prince of a country in a state of truce.

"What are you doing here?

If I turned my body to him and asked him what the purpose was, he looked even more difficult.

Keep staring at my face.

"... in the name of celebrating my engagement. I don't know how far it's true."

"Yeah."

While hammering, I'll try to remember about Sahaja.

The name of the country that I've heard so much about lately. It's Cain's country of origin. A military state with half the national territory in the desert.

The country where the Assassin Guild developed.... a country where you can't see the constant black rumors.

Indeed, the last time I fought that country was two years ago. Since then, the truce has continued.

"There were four princes and two princesses, weren't there? Prince Wang doesn't show up much."

Groaning as he dug back into his memory, Fried shook his head, saying no.

"The fourth prince was executed the other day. Take responsibility for your failed expedition north."

"... it is"

It's a rarer country not to be at war.

The king who reigned at the top of such a country was still quite a war lover and famous.

We often have problems with a few tribes near the border.

There is considerable intelligence regulation in a typical military state. The same goes for royalty.

My father and brother have also sent in a number of institutional people, but I remembered that I had previously been foolish when the information available was still limited.

"Is Prince Wang... 28 years old...? You don't have a queen yet, do you? Or is the information old?

"No, that fits. I still haven't gotten the information that I married the Queen. I hear there's been an increase in the number of queens. That's seven."

"7 people..."

Are you switching for a week...... I want you to give me a break for accidentally flaunting my face.

I think I should take it personally because I'm royal and it's none of my business, but I still don't have a queen, and yet I couldn't have made a good impression on a man with as many as seven side queens.

Fried laughed bitterly when he looked at me with his face up.

"You don't have to look like that. Not everyone in the royal family does, and most importantly, I'm a Liddy, right?

"I know. Otherwise I'm not getting married."

I nodded in the face.

Accepting the marriage was a big promise that Fried would not marry a woman besides me. Otherwise, even if there was a "Wang Hua" case, I don't think I would have shaken my head that easily.

Marriage is one-on-one. Whatever they say, I can't just give in there.

So you fulfilled my hope. I'm basically going to respond to his request, and I'm not going to forgive my concubine, so I take it for granted that I will.

… although I have a genuine desire for you to do something a little more often.

"So? What does that king prince have to do with me coming?

So much so that I came all the way here to talk to you. I guess there's something about it.

If that's what you think and ask, Fried said with a flashing face he doesn't seem to feel comfortable.

"... I've been placing orders for Liddy to be present"

"Yes?"

I don't know what that means.

I'm not a royal or anything of what I am, my fiancée. Just a duke's maid, purposefully present at a meeting with the king prince of the armistice country?

"No, you won't..."

"We're going to celebrate our engagement, so it's the other side's saying to have that person present too"

"Such an unscrupulous..."

"I can't refuse to be officially nominated for anything, even impotent. So I'm sorry, but I was wondering if Liddy would come to my meeting with Prince Wang."

"... well, I'll go if you tell me to come"

You have no right to say no to me if they tell me you've been followed an official procedure, not an informal one.

I didn't even want to go to such a troublesome thing, but I also knew that would not be tolerated.

"... can I ask you a date?

"I'm sorry it's sudden, but there's a royal palace-sponsored nightclub one day. Prince of the other king seems to be attending a night club."

"Wow, not soon. Trouble again..."

Unexpectedly, the truth was leaked, but Fried snorted.

"I don't know what they're thinking over there. I'm here to celebrate my engagement, so let me see Liddy. It's easy to ask, but I don't even think he's that simple."

I predicted that I had met him from that mouthful, and I asked him thoughtfully.

"Hey, have you met the king prince of Sahaja?

"About a few degrees so far. And as Liddy knows, that guy doesn't really show up."

"Prince Maximilian..."

If asked to confirm, Fried affirmed that he was right.

Take it and then line up all the knowledge you can get to know.

"Uh, according to the official announcement, dark grey eyes in silver hair. Stand up ten years ago with particular excellence in swordsmanship, but no accomplishment that was the Lord. As the King Prince of Sahaja, there is a lot of appreciation for the fact that it is neither acceptable nor impossible...... From Fried's point of view. How's it actually going?

"... you know more"

If you keep stating it, Fried looked out for you as if you were stunned.

"This much is common sense. It contains as much information about the surrounding area. But all I know is that it's paperwork. If it's tampered with for convenience, that's it. In fact, according to my information, the concubine was not seven, but six."

"That's enough. Right, if you're just gonna talk about my impressions, don't be alarmed, man, I guess I just said. It's the type that gives reason priority over anything else. Seems like he's acting inconspicuously in front of the king of his country, but I think it's gonna be harder for our country to do this than it is now."

"Hmm......"

The king now is a belligerent figure wielding power himself.

Even if the trace is necessary, the type who seems to think they don't need a good heir that drives them down.

That you are making it less conspicuous in front of the king.

"Does that mean that Prince Maximilian is deliberately hiding his abilities so that his real father doesn't erase him?

"Yes."

Receive and be convinced of Fried's affirmation.

It's common for a military state like Sahaja. If you are too good a heir, you are neglected by your father, the King. I can't talk about incompetence because of it.

From Fried's story, King Maximilian Prince seems to be an excellent figure. To the extent that they are not neglected, they are disciplining themselves to the extent that they cannot be truncated if they are incompetent.

"... what too much country..."

Not very much, but it doesn't keep up with me.

I think it's really good to be reborn in this country. Fried also agreed that it was really true to say it like it was frightening.

"That's why I want Liddy to be very careful, too. It's a country that really doesn't know what it's going to do, it's a man."

"Yeah, okay"

I snorted heavily because I'm sorry I got caught up in trouble. That said, there would be little opportunity to actually talk. That's enough to act as discreet as possible.

"Is the night club in three days?"

"That's right. So please, there are circumstances where Prince Maximilian is coming, so why don't you come back to the castle with me today? There's something you need to remember and the costume match for the day."

"Well done..."

Fried said earlier, the line that you came to pick me up.

Is that what you said when you picked me up, not just kidding or anything?

"Okay, I'll get ready"

There will be no reason for Prince Wang of another country to join us on the same day when he comes to the boulder.

Especially if I have to join you. It's only natural to go into the castle for a few days. That's understandable, and with the exception of the night club day, there's only two days after that.

It is too late to prepare.

I agreed lightly and made Fried look unexpected to me.

"I thought you'd resist more, but you're surprisingly honest."

"I won't say no until I understand the situation.... That's why Fried explained it to me first, right?

"Well, I thought that would be more effective for Liddy."

It's the right decision. I have no objection to climbing the castle as long as I can be convinced. We knew we'd be back at the castle in three days. There's no such thing as a few days early.

"... will you wait downstairs? I'll be there as soon as I'm ready."

"Okay. Glad you could make it.... Shall we sleep together tonight?

When I get back, I pull my hips to continue earlier and whisper to the man in a sweet voice.

"... apart from the bedroom, please"

There will be a lot of preparations.

Fried smiled and rejected the suggestion, arguing that the room was sufficient because he didn't think it would make sense to climb the castle early.

"Did you think I'd listen to that?

"... right"

Dropping a kiss on my head with disappointment, Fried left the room and said later.

Damn it. I knew it was a waste of resistance.

I was very worried from now on if I could get enough sleep for the next three days.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Princess."

Some time after Fried left, Cain jumped off the back of the ceiling.

Although the simulated sound of shuffle seemed to suit the operation, the sound could not be made at all.

Standing silently on the spot, he looked very harsh.

"What's going on? Cain."

"Prince of Sahaja is coming."

I notice you listened to the words with Fried.

At the same time, I remembered what I had done with him. Mimizuru's face is dyed red.

"Ca... Cain... Could you have tried?

When he turned bright red and heard that, Cain quickly broke his expression and was easily understood and upset.

"Damn... I wouldn't do that! I know that Prince Wang is so strong that I took refuge where the air looks like it... I don't have a hobby!

"Oh, yeah... I hope so"

"Not!!

Cain said by forcing the story back to where he was about to go out of line.

"I'm talking about the King Prince of Sahaja!

"Ah...... oh"

Nodding, Cain started walking in the room looking frustrated.

I feel like the nail-biting trick is reinforcing that degree. That's how I snarled out of myself with a bump and a quick mouth.

"Why is that Pulling King Prince coming out? You didn't plan to go out, did you? What the hell is the purpose...... Damn it, I don't know!... Hey princess, be really careful with that guy. Because if I'm serious, I don't want you to go!

"I can't do that if I don't go... do you know him?

I suddenly thought I'd turned this way. I was noticed in a strong tone.

Such behavior was unusual and when asked Cain, he pinched his legs perfectly.

"... I've never seen him before, but he only listened to me a lot. In the country they call him the King Prince of Silence. You don't look so good in front of the people, and you're often stuck in the royal palace."

"Fried said he was a good prince."

Saying, back on the couch. I thought I was standing up and I told Cain to sit down, but he said no.

"You're not mistaken about the princess's husband. He dresses his father as an ordinary man, and behind him he surrounds himself one after another with people who are likely to be in his interest. Now there are all the best people in the country under that king prince. I'm not surprised when they say the king's down."

"Does that mean King Maximilian Prince is his father, after all?

Understanding what Cain was trying to say and saying so, he nodded heavily.

"I wouldn't get my hands dirty directly, though. The story that you're after opportunities is famous in the back world, and at one time it was quite rumoured that a request might actually come to some guild. You're the parents and children of similar people in that sense. Parents will kick it off relentlessly if their son makes a strange gesture."

"Wow..."

Just as Fried asked. Or the truth is even worse.

Cain looked up at the ceiling, telling him to remember.

"I just don't think we talked to our guild. Because our Gilmouth was a king."

"You don't often talk like that out of the country..."

"That's what we do for information control. Besides, it's only because I was in the back of the world."

It would certainly be information because he belonged to the Assassin Guild.

We may have a job coming around for us. I can't be irrelevant.

I thought as I stared at Cain, who was plainly exposing the inner details of Sahaja closed to the veil.

This could soon be a framing to confess Cain's existence. and.

It may still be good now, but there's no way I wouldn't tell my fathers if that's the kind of information I get that would serve as a trump card for war and diplomacy.

When that happens, there's no way you can keep quiet because you don't want them to know about Cain.

If there is a life I can save by passing information on to my fathers, I should not hesitate.

"That being said, I think Wilhelm's looking into it a lot, huh? My impression of Prince Wang in particular is quite correct. The man's eyes hurt when it took him long to get rid of it. I'm naturally going to follow you with an escort on the day, but the princess must be really careful."

"Yeah."

I also nod seriously at Cain for advising me with a serious face.

We must end quietly and without anything so as not to create a gap.

Once again I was telling myself, Cain went on to say it and.

Cain laughed and said, looking up, wondering if there was any serious information.

"One correction. The number of concubines is eight, not seven. I heard you recently raised the daughter of your tribe to the Queen's side.

"... oh yes"

... It was information that didn't matter to me.
