Two weeks after shaking off the pursuit of the First Army and the Knights of Tianyang withdrew to Fortress Keel.
Leaving behind a second army that built a solid line of defense, the first army and Olivia triumphed over the king's capital. The enthusiasm of the people who welcomed him was amazing, and Olivia, enthusiastic, was a painting of the castle of Leticia. I jumped into the room that Ninehardt gave me. No, I jumped into the big bed.
(Plumpy and pleasant! Plus it smells good for the day. I'm tired, and I guess it's not bad to sleep alone like this)
As I think about that while burying my face in the pillow, I hear knocking on the door. Granting permission to enter, Claudia came with a full grin. Olivia is alert when she sees it. Because in experience, I bring stories that I'm largely not happy with.
"Major, it's really sunny weather."
"I think it's cloudy outside..."
"It was my heart that was clear," replies Claudia as she turned her attention to the clouds that were more dull in the window, laughing happily. Olivia's alert level jumped all at once.
"... So, what can I do for you? I'm trying to get some sleep."
If you fall asleep, you don't even have to listen to the extra talk. Claudia grabs Olivia's foot trying to dive into bed with that in mind and pulls back cheating. Without turning around, Olivia tries to dive into bed again. After several attacks with Claudia trying to stop it, at the end of the day, the sheets were ripped off with tremendous momentum.
"Haa, haa...... please don't!
Claudia is holding her breath while she handles her messy hair.
"That's our line."
"─ Did you say something?
"Yeah. I didn't say anything."
Olivia shook her head and showed it away. There's nothing good about being against Claudia.
"Not at all... not if you're sleeping at a time like this. I brought the Major some good news."
It just sounds like a bad news to Olivia. Because I don't have a single good memory of the good news Claudia brings. It is new to my memory that I was forced to wear a liturgical garment that doesn't suit my body, or that I was drawn to a medal ceremony that I didn't even want to leave.
Still, he only re-tailored his courtesy clothes, but after the medal ceremony. "I'll give it to you because I can't wear it anymore," Claudia laughed mockingly at Olivia for some reason as she tried to return her liturgical clothes.
"... just ask for once"
Claudia laughs deeply at Olivia, who encourages her to talk.
"Pfft. Don't be surprised. What an activity King Alphonse has heard of the Major and he definitely wants to see him. This is a great honor."
Claudia expresses joy all over her body as if it were about us. What a momentum to dance on this occasion. If you would just keep the door open and walk away, Olivia would do everything in her power to express joy.
"Go-ho, go-ho, Claudia, I kind of suddenly caught a cold. I'm sorry I had to lie to the king, but I refused."
"Then the meal is even thin until it's healed. Only itchy."
Claudia with a changed smile and a frozen look. Plus, don't let your hair in. I just imagined those itchy days, and I was going to be really sick.
"─ Do not. I would never resign. 'Cause I haven't caught a cold at all. It was kind of my fault."
Haha and laughing to delude, Olivia made a force kobu to show.
"Then I'm glad."
Claudia grins again. When I sat down next to Olivia, I was happy to tell her about the day I saw her.
(Ha. If this is the case, I should have escaped the moment I saw Claudia smile)
Later festivals that I regret. Again, as Olivia feared, it was a totally unhappy story. Nevertheless, as always, Claudia seems blind to honor. I'm not interested in seeing him with the king for Olivia, and I don't really care. That's why it's the last time you say that. I'm sure Claudia will turn into a night fork. So I can't tell you if my mouth is torn.
"Claudia, I know you've said this before, but I'm more honorable than..."
"I want books and good food, right?
Claudia laughs at me for saying that. As Olivia snorted cocklessly at the unexpected reaction, Claudia said as if she had won after coughing.
"After the sight with King Alphonse is over, there is going to be a feast of victory celebrations. Exactly no books, but I hear they behave like lavish dishes"
"Oh, lavish dishes?
To a very seductive word, Olivia's body is drawn to Nature Claudia.
"Usually I call them the king's own cook, the royal palace cook, who, with the king's permission, specially serves dishes."
"Royal Palace cook...... Ah! You mean people who make amazing treats while traveling the world!
"A world trip?
To Claudia, who leans her neck, Olivia told her about the World Wandering Journey of Former Royal Palace Cooks she read as a child. Once upon a time, royal palace cooks ran away from the country worried about a world where the weak could be abused. We're talking about punishing the bad guys and treating the downers as they travel with two knives that sit down on their hips.
Olivia, admiring the cook, had a time cooking while lowering her knife replacement sword on both hips. I saw that look from time to time. Watching Zed tilt his neck sideways.
"─ Major, Royal Palace cooks don't punish bad people, nor do they behave like cooks to those who descend. In the first place, they rarely go out of the castle on a journey of redemption."
"Is that what you're trying to say, there's no royal cook in the world? But there are definitely Royal Palace cooks. 'Cause that's what it says in the book that this story is true."
Olivia protests with her mouth pointed. Claudia had a troubled look on her face, but eventually opened her mouth like she had decided to.
"It's very painful to seem to break a dream...... that thank you would be written from the author's flirtatious heart. Just like Comet, a prank-loving fairy who the Major is familiar with, the book is also a creation."
Claudia talking with eyes that look far away somewhere. Listening to the story, Olivia dropped her shoulders big. One more thing, because I've learned something I don't have to know.

─ ─ Between the sights of Leticia Castle
(I wonder if the king will come yet? I hope it ends soon)
Olivia, who was put through during the glance, waited for Alphonse to appear, desperately biting down the lacunae that came out over and over again. Singing a song in my heart because I was so bored, the sound of the back door opening in my ear. I felt signs of one human being sitting on the throne with multiple footsteps.
"Olivia Valedstorm. Face up."
Upon request, Olivia looks up. It was the exact opposite of a king who appeared in a picture book that was reflected in his sight. A skinny, blue-white-faced man has a surprised look on his face. The same thing is about a luxurious costume and a shiny crown.
Alphonse stared at Olivia's face for a while before beginning to whisper something towards Cornelius, who would refrain beside him. Cornelius, by contrast, is just silently shaking his head vertically.
"─ Is there a difference in Olivia Valedstorm, who is feared by the Imperial Army to be a Reaper?
Alphonse came by a surprised gaze. Cornelius is pushing his hands up gently as he tries to say something.
"Yes, I'm Olivia Valedstorm."
Say it. Olivia tilted her neck inside. Hi, Alphonse. I can see a glimpse of Alphonse's attitude suspecting he's not Olivia Valedstorm herself. At least I've never heard of anyone with the same last name as myself.
By and large the Valedstorm family has just rebuilt after more than a hundred years. If there's someone with the same last name, I want this place changed immediately.
"I hear Olivia Valedstorm has taken over many of the empire's famous generals. Do you remember their names?
"─ I can't answer that question."
In response to Alphonse, who has been asking questions again, Olivia answers that after a moment of reflection.
"Why can't I answer that? A hundred soldiers wouldn't have to know, and a famous general would normally remember and deserve it. Again..."
The colour of the suspicion directed darkens. Olivia asked the opposite question.
"Do you remember what kind of meal the king ate every day?
"Daily meals? - I can't believe you remember that."
Alphonse just snorts that it's a crappy question.
"I'm with you. I can't remember anything about the person I killed. A famous general, a soldier, but from me, it's the same. I'm just a human being."
A little different, to be exact. Regardless of the life or death, I remember the enemies that impressed me. But it's a hassle, so I skipped the explanation.
To Olivia's words, a twist arose from the Kingsguards who refrained on the wall.
"─ Your Majesty, this person is definitely Olivia Valedstorm. Because of his appearance, it is not impossible for His Majesty to believe immediately."
Olivia responded with a small wave to Cornelius as he said so and turned his gaze to this one. Cornelius can flaunt his face slightly. Olivia became friends with Cornelius on her way back to the king's capital.
"... I have no talent for martial arts. That's why I asked a lot of questions to explore, but if you listen to what I'm saying now, you'll know that it's not the only one -- Olivia Valedstorm. If you want anything from this battle, let me know. We can't hear it unprincipled, but let's move on to what we can afford."
Despite the sudden offer, Olivia responded instantly.
"Then give me a big big cake like the one that comes out of the picture book. Because I wanted to try it sometime."
"Cake? Did you just say cake?
"Yes."
"─ Is that good for you? Not gold coins or jewels?
Alphonse asks as he opens his eyes wide.
"Yes, because I'm still not sure how to spend the money. I know the gems are sparkling and beautiful, but that's all. I'm not particularly interested."
Alphonse smiled bitterly at Olivia, who laughed.
"My grandfather, Cornelius, told me that he was a greedy man... okay. I order you to prepare a cake like you've never seen before on the feast table."
"Thank you!
"Uhm. Then we shall end the viewing."
Olivia stood up cheerfully and saluted her, after which she took a look at her in a floating foothold. Hated to see it, but wondered if it was such a nice thing.
