Sulight-sama disappeared, and I was surprised that Grandpa Richterite suddenly appeared, but I managed to say hello in a typical curtsey.

It is a gift of the mask of "What a marquis daughter" that I have suffered because of the unfortunate contents.

Then... for some reason, Grandpa Richterite nodded with satisfaction.

"It's a boulder. I was going to surprise you, but did you anticipate this?"

Huh?

"I usually go out of my way to visit the Imperial Castle when I'm at home."I read that you wanted to talk to me, and Sulight put it down. "

Huh?

I was so upset that I only reacted like an idiot, but Grandpa Richterite's Nikoniko talks didn't stop.

"Mmmmm, you don't have to tell anyone."I was expecting you to come and see me. "

A hundred or so marks flirted with predictions.

Grandpa narrowed his eyes as I smiled and stiffened.

"Athena is an excellent and cute granddaughter.... but Alice was probably the queen of the Emperor.It will be you. "



"If you know that, you can't be the closest person to the Imperial Castle."I can even say that you're here right now to prove your credentials. "

……

"I..."

Say no ~ ~ ~ ~!!!!

I don't intend to be a concubine, I don't think I can, and I don't want to be a concubine in the first place ~ ~ ~!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I screamed in my brain, but the other me said, "Isn't this an opportunity?” he whispered.

Meaning.

It is not unnatural to hear about the castle and the royal family in a body that is concerned with the education of the concubine.

"It's not strange to ask about Prince Eli or Gabriela even more..."

You can't be suspicious if you ask me everything you want to know right now.

After making a loss, I forced myself to laugh.

You may not have covered up the cold sweat, but you'll have to follow this route.

"Grandpa, I only wish for the happiness of Athena-san."

"!... fufufu, so am I." If that girl becomes a queen and becomes happy, that's fine, if that's not possible..... "

"Fu, hehe." Of course, until I do what I can. ”

While trying not to make clear, I said to Fuhefu and sweated coldly.

Then Grandpa Richterite grimaced.

"Now, where do you want to hear it from?" I'll give you an answer to everything. "



I thought I was coming, and I clenched my fist in my brain.

What I'm curious about now is whether Athena-san can safely receive her concubine's education, what is Prince Ile and her organization, what is in the Imperial Castle, what is Gabriela like, what is the golden rose, etc. No, I think so.

I was also concerned about the area around Prince Aguilesta.I just want to know.

First of all, I will ask you a question related to the most recent problem, Athena-san.

Athena-sama is spending afternoons and nights in the Imperial Castle, but where will the Imperial Castle be based?

"Is it a place? Hmm, if it's called concubine education, it's probably a big library."Studying diplomacy requires enormous amounts of materials, and there are many books that cannot be taken out.I'm sleeping in a VIP room close to the library, not in Hougu because I'm not married yet. ”

"I see... Then who will be your sister's educator?"

When I asked, Grandpa Richterite gave him a thoughtful look.

"It is said that Empress Toruslia will face her face directly, but it should be different."I hear that the people in charge of the crown prince's education will take office.... that's why I can't object, but Athena might struggle. "

……

"Oh, the prince." As for Prince Aguilesta, I don't think it was a matter of quality. I don't think he was well surrounded. "

I feel a little heartbroken for some reason by the bitter criticism.

However, Grandpa Richterite lowered his eyes lightly.

"It is almost the Emperor who holds real power in this country."I'm not a concubine, so this is a serious matter.But the only salvation is that Prince Aguilesta is not a true fool. "

"True...?"

"That person's situation is too bad and the current situation is terrible."But I can't say much about this either... but the light in the back of my eyes doesn't seem to have been lost. "

The light in the back of my eyes.

That's what I thought a little bit.

He is manipulated by some kind of magic, or perhaps by Prince Eile peeking into his life.

The darkness of my heart seemed to be deep.

And yet... sometimes I beat it on my own and even tried to help me.

When I was kidnapped and locked in a cell, I clearly said, "Don't stay like this" and looked me in the eye.

He was cursed again shortly thereafter, but nothing in him was dead.

Grandpa Richterite, who saw my expression, nodded again.

"The person who supports the prince must be strong, wise, and have a heart that is not influenced by the surroundings."

That's right.

“I naturally hope and expect Athena to do the same.”

Grandpa Richterite really thought so.

But... I narrowed my eyes.

I guess it's all about the truth.

Everything.

In other words, what I expect from my granddaughter and what I think will not be the case, both of them are unmistakable.

As for me, I have no idea what kind of adult Athena-sama will become, so I can't say anything.

Because they are delicate people, they may understand each other, or they may create a bond of help in adversity.Or somewhere, she might wake up like Sue Lite-san and become a strong woman.I don't know whether to be a good couple or not.

I don't know anything about the future.

As I roared, I decided to move on to the next question.

"Grandpa, how is Gabriela of the Villandel family now?"

"... umu"

"I didn't see your figure at school, and after you touched me, there was no follow-up report, so I was worried"

Gabriela's name made Grandpa look difficult.

Yeah, and then he looks at me with a small mutter.

"But I can only say that it's normal. At least I hardly ever see you talking."

Eh

When I say Gabriela, I only imagine her constantly talking and yelling.

Does that barely speak to you?

"That's weird, isn't it?"... Gabriela-sama is also planning to receive concubine education with Athena-sama.Well, I think it's the fierce temper.Wouldn't it suddenly explode if it was stored up? "

"Hmm. I thought so too, but it must have been pretty tough."Politeness is perfect, and it doesn't feel weird. "

I wonder what that means.

I thought so, but I suddenly came up with a pin.

──Why, it was the ventriloquist's move I saw on TV in my previous life.

When a ventriloquist speaks, two dolls and myself, that is, three people, do not speak at the same time.It's because there's only one head to think of a line and one throat to pronounce.

If Gabriela was cursed by Prince Eli, just like Prince Aguilesta, wouldn't it mean that Gabriela was moving almost in auto with the operation of the prince going to school and herself?

If that's the case, I'm convinced that the manners are perfect.

With that in mind, Grandpa Richterite looked at me and nodded loudly.

I think you have some idea.

"Oh, that's not true..."

"You don't have to say it. It's a good thing you don't tell me that you're not sure."

I feel misunderstood at a tremendous speed.However, we cannot deny the current situation.

Yes, yes, and Grandpa opened his mouth as he roared.

Well, is there anything else that still bothers you?

"Ah, yes.... um, um..."

I felt scared to talk too long, so I cut it out with a straight sphere.

What do you think about Prince Eile?

That's what I'm saying.

──Grandpa's eyes changed color.
