Outaishihi ni Nante Naritakunai!!

Stay in Irvern, morning of the ninth day.

I was summoned by the queen to attend a tea party she hosted.

Dressed in outfits, visit the queen's room.

I was half-upping my hair today. I won't put it up because the marks that Fried put on last night are still on the back of his neck.

"... really, I want you to stop scarring me"

If it's a place to hide in a dress, I'd still like you to give me a break about the neck muscle or something. That's what I always complain about, but I don't like it because you asked me. Even if you think you're okay today, the next day when you look in the mirror, there are more signs of congestion.

Fried is pleased as a sign that he knows he's held him, but doesn't he forget that a big sign shines on his left chest at a glance that it belongs to him? At all, having a husband who is too monopolistic struggles.

Well, that's how it came. The second tea party hosted by the queen.

No way, I was surprised because I didn't think there would be a second time, but I was honestly glad you called me.

By the way, Fried left early in the morning, accompanied by his brother. I have a farewell night party tonight. He moaned that there was a lot that needed to be done by then.

I didn't have any plans until the night club, so I was going to talk to Ilya, but the queen invited me, and I nodded.

I haven't made any promises to Ilya yet. Then it is only natural to respond to those who invited me first.

Nevertheless, he didn't have to ask Ilya out.

Because among the attendees of this tea party was Ilya.

Queen of organizers. Me and Reid, and a tea party for the four of Ilya.

It's a fancy tea party with all the female royalty in Irvern, but I didn't hear that Ilya was there, so when I walked into the room, I saw that she was there, and I rounded my eyes.

"Ilya?"

"Liddy......"

Ilya was dressed in an adorable dress with the same taste as usual. He has a face full of tension and anxiety on Reid's side in men's clothes. As soon as it saw me, it loosened to relief.

She just rushes up to me.

"Liddy!"

"Ilya. Ilya was also called?

"Yes. The queen suddenly invited me this morning. I was surprised because it had never happened before, but... you pushed your back to say it would be good if His Highness had gone too."

"Yes."

"But when I came, Master Ophilia was here, and I was having trouble trying to figure out what to do. I'm so glad Liddy's here."

I asked Ilya, leaning her neck, laughing at the bottom of her heart.

"... didn't Ilya get along with Reid"

When she told him so, Ilya blushed as she said, "Because".

Actually, I found out you were a fan of Reid, and it was only about two days ago that we talked about getting along.

"Ilya?"

"... Master Ophilia is a respected teacher, isn't he? I was too shy to speak well..."

"Oh, that's the thing"

I see, I'm convinced.

Yesterday, I nodded, "Let's get along" with the momentum, but if I calm down, I change my mind "terribly".

For Ilya, Reid is a respected writer. Is it "friendly" with such a person or something like a dream again?

Nevertheless, Reid was Ilya's sister-in-law before he was a writer. I don't know if I'll ever be nervous about my sister-in-law.

"Ilya, you'll always be in trouble with Reid."

"... I know. But"

I'm nervous, so I can't.

Seeing Ilya trembling with a pull and a red face and realizing that this was no good, I decided to take her hand and head to Reid's with her.

"Ilya, let's go together"

"Liddy...... yeah, I'm glad you did"

He also seems to have feelings that he should not run away. When I held her hand, Ilya shook me back firmly.

The two of us head to the Queen and Reid. The two of them laughed bitterly when they saw us holding hands.

"My queen. Thank you for inviting us."

Finish greeting the organizers. I sat down in the seat reserved for me at the Queen's recommendation. Soon a woman will come and arrange the tea for me.

Coffee today. Tea confectionery is a star-shaped chocolate. They have milk chocolate on the outside and coffee ganache inside. Looks very tasty.

The queen had the ladies lowered, just like last time. There are only four of us in the room. In that state the queen turned her eyes to Ilya.

"I didn't think I was talking to you much, so I let you call me today."

"... Yes"

Ilya hardens herself to tension.

Basically, I hear Ilya is in a drawer cage in the room. I guess I didn't have much contact with the queen either.

To Ilya, who seeped anxiety in her eyes as to what she would be told, the queen said in a pale tone.

"You, the Beast Man. Right."

"Huh...!

Ilya breathes in the words.

I turned my eyes to Reid reflexively. She meets me in the eye and nods like she's okay.

I decided to keep my mouth shut if my friend would say so, and I watched the Queen and Ilya.

The queen looked tattered, but Ilya is on the contrary blubbering and trembling. It's like I don't know what to do.

"Wow, I..."

"Hendrick told me yesterday. I apologize for letting her go out with me."

"Huh..."

Ilya turns to the queen. She looked sorry as she stared at Ilya.

"I can understand the circumstances under which that kid has been hiding who you are. Irvern, unfortunately, remains deeply discriminated against beasts. I can't help but notice a riot when the prince of such a kingdom takes the beast as his queen. It's a sad story at all."

"Dear Queen..."

"That kid declared to us yesterday. If it wasn't for you, I'd really hate it. He doesn't want to imitate having a concubine and offering a succession. Hendrick said he was going to take you out of the country right now if he was going to force it."

The queen laughs as if she remembers that time. So now I let my eyes shine sharply, and I looked at Ilya.

"On top of that, I have a question for you. My son says I can throw everything away for you. In fact, you're going to take action. What will you give back to such a son?

"Wow, I..."

"If you're saying that she won't have a child with you, you can't keep that child with Prince Wang. Because the country needs a successor. You know what I mean?

"... Yes"

"With the beast man as your queen, you may manage until. But it is impossible in Irvern today to turn the son of a half-beast man into a king any day. Because the country will be disturbed. Ten or twenty years or so, it's a dream story to completely change the perception of the people. Those at the top of the country must see reality. It may all be that the beast man is to the king, but yet, Irvern has not laid the foundation for it. In" Maybe, "you can't make the Beastman a king prince and vandalize the country. So I will ask that child to descend from the throne of Prince Wang shortly. Succession is to Ophilia. Ophilia will be asked to stand as queen and receive the king's concubine. And the son of Ophilia will be the next king.... do you understand that this is all happening because you married that kid? Are you just shivering, being protected by that kid by all this scratching your country?

……

The queen's tone was nothing to blame.

I was just asking Ilya, 'What can you do?'
