"I take away Liz's fruit...?
Natalie, the hiccup daughter, repeated in a dismal manner to words she had not thought.
"Yes," Duke's Lady Grace nodded with a graceful grin.
"It's a great honor to be named chief cleric. Natalie, who I'm close to, has been chosen and her nose is high."
I don't know how I can honestly not be glad that you're saying something very honorable.
Natalie cut it out as a snack.
"That's rude, but the clergyman really did, you said...?
"You think I'm lying?
Grace's complexion changed as soon as she did, and Natalie hurriedly shook her neck to the side to deny it.
"No way! I can't believe I'm being named such a big actor..."
"It's okay. That's what you did say. I promise you this."
I can't say no to Natalie if Grace from the Duke Aigner family, far more stately than Natalie's. There's generally no reason to say no. I was entrusted to the Chief Cleric and to the Duke's maid. There is no such honor.
- If this is a true story.
Since when do you think this is happening?
I can't believe I doubt Grace, the longed-for being.
(Because I met Liz)
When she had just come to the temple, Natalie believed in Liz as she spoke to Grace. Of course, Grace didn't speak ill in appearance, he talked with concern, but I still know what malice comes out of it.
But I thought you were right. Because Liz is civilian and not magical.
Yet growing the biggest tree, the chief clergyman, to his surprise, was above all a girl who could not understand: to be close to Prince Keefa.
I don't laugh much and my love is bad. Besides, I'm fat, I have a big attitude, and I don't get along with people. She's a bad girl. That's what I thought...
He told me that Natalie's holy flowers, which everyone feared, were fine. Beautiful flowers. Liz herself should have been in a hurry with no flowers, but she was honestly pleased that Natalie had flowered.
Even during the "holy buds," I know that you work hard to help a candidate named Claire.
Grace said "Liz" and Natalie felt for herself "Liz" was different.
Take away the fruit...?
Liz would be disqualified if she was bad.
Natalie stared breathlessly at Grace in front of her.
Can I trust you? - I don't know.
I hear Grace's father, the Duke of Aigner, goes into and out of the royal palace all the time, and is close to the senior clerics. As Grace said, I know you have information in your ear because you're a duke's warrant.
But I can't believe you just took Liz's fruit away...
Grace sighed, staring at Natalie who was troubled.
"I knew Natalie didn't trust me."
"That's not true...!
"It's okay. You can't believe it, can you? But if this guy told me, I'd trust him."
It was Toma, a senior cleric with long hair, who brought Natalie into the temple as a candidate for the Virgin.
"Master Toma!?
"Natalie, what Miss Grace said is true. The clergyman secretly said he wanted you to take Liz's fruit away so that the other candidates - and, of course, Liz - wouldn't know. Unfortunately for Liz, everyone's safety is paramount. I'm here to tell you that."
I tended to be distracted from the usual, but I made it clear that it was a clergyman's decree.
(Was it true...?)
Natalie was in a hurry. Oh, my God. You suspected Grace.
"I'm sorry, Master Grace! Me, let me do the best I can!
"Nice to meet you"
Grace's eyes glistened quietly in front of Natalie, who bowed her head in momentum.
That night, all over the darkness, Natalie quietly opened the hall door. There are no stars, and the moon tends to hide with bumping clouds. What you see through the window is a side of darkness. My spine freaked out as if it represented my heart.
I have Matsuaki Tamaki, but I can only see at my feet. Apart from my own breath and the tiny bug squeal, the area was quiet.
(Is this really the right thing to do...?
Once I believed it, Mukumuku and I had doubts again.
I was told that the decision was better early and "Cucumber" abruptly came tonight, but both Grace and Cleric Toma looked a little rushed. By and large, I have not even met the Chief Cleric of our Toto.
It also seems kind of forceful.
But the cleric Toma said, "I was asked by the clergyman. It's surrogate, so to speak," and most importantly, Natalie, a junior nobleman, must never doubt Grace, a senior nobleman.
(This is fine. This is the right thing to do.)
Forcing herself to convince herself, Natalie proceeded with caution.
There were no guard clerics. Grace is right.
Bringing the pine lights closer, a holy tree of candidates lined up in a row emerged in the darkness. I was surprised to see Liz's tree at the far end. Hanging. In fact, it was twice the size I saw in the morning.
(Wow......)
Breathtaking, one step closer. The heartbeat is still going to explode so fast.
I took many deep breaths before putting a horrible hand on the top of Liz's fruit to a certain extent.
The surface of the round white fruit has muscles like a mesh, almost invisible inside, but feels like something is jammed up all the time.
(Quick! We need to get it out of here...!)
My mind is in a hurry, but my body doesn't move any more. It's like my whole body's frozen, and I can't move.
"Natalie, hurry up!
Grace's tough voice flies from around the front of the hall door.
A cold sweat swept out of Natalie's entire body.
I accidentally said, "It's not a beautiful flower. Good for you," Liz's grinning face floated behind her brain.
Everyone laughed at Natalie's flowers, which they feared were beautiful. Would Liz take away this fruit? Wouldn't you try to do something without taking it? Instead of being someone's talk, would you figure out for yourself how you can do something without taking this fruit -?
(No!
I thought strongly from the bottom of my heart.
"Dear Grace, I can't!
"What are you talking about! Are you going to ignore the orders of the Chief Cleric?
"But Liz wouldn't do this...!
The moment I screamed with the desire to cry, I accidentally caught my eye with "it".
"Huh?"
At first I didn't know what I saw.
It suddenly opened its eyes in the fruit. Big red sliced long, beastly eyes.
In the fruit there was a "something" that rounded out the white body crampingly, and I found that "something" opened my eyes and looked at Natalie.
"Hiya!!
Power falls out of his knees and sits on the spot.
"What's wrong!?
Grace raised her voice, but her voice alone, she didn't seem willing to come near Natalie.
(What is this! He's alive!?
Natalie panicked and twitched.
"My eyes! I have eyes in Liz's fruit! Something like a creature...!
"- You'll have a pine light. So burn the fruit."
"But Master Grace......!
"Burn it down before you come out! I told you it was dangerous. This is an order as a duke's warrant, Natalie!
Red eyes in the fruit moved slowly in front of Natalie, who could not move a step because of fear. Gaze at Natalie's pine flame. Did you find out that this would burn you? My red eyes lit up unexpectedly. The fruit moves hard. It's like breaking through the surface of the fruit and still trying to get out of this.
"No -!"
I was just scared, and Natalie stuck out the pine lights. Upper part of the fruit - the fire moves from the branch to the part hanging from it. Thick branches burn up, eventually bottons! and with the ominous sound, only fruit fell to the floor unexpectedly.
The fruit rolls on the cold floor.
My eyes in the fruit gave me a burning heat. Natalie also found out that she was angry.
The moment I was caught in the cold, bottom-cold eyes, the flames of the pine lights Natalie had literally erupted into the fire. The fire was already extinguishing when it was pressed against the top of the fruit, but the flames soared as if by magic. It was like that.
"What is this!?
I stunned and threw down the pine lights slightly, but the flaming momentum was faster than that, and the tip of the flame swept across Natalie's right cheek.
"Ahhh!
Heat, stabbing pain, and fear strike Natalie.
If I burn my face, I don't have a future as an aristocrat. I can't marry anyone anymore. I was more scared of that than of the heat than of the pain.
"Help me, Master Grace!
There's not even any sign of Grace approaching for anything that screams and desperately asks for help.
Natalie slapped her right cheek with both hands in a madness of death. I can smell my skin burning. Though the fire quickly went out, the intense pain spreading on his right cheek like piercing instead.
