Sigh leaks naturally as you stand in front of the mirror and stroke up the hair on your cheeks.
- He said he went all the way out to the neighboring country to attend this ball. I have to get back to the country right away, so it really stinks.
"Ready?
"Oh, no problem"
Looking back to the sound of the knock, there is the figure of Adolfo, a subordinate brought from the country.
"... Your Highness Isaac, don't run away"
"I know. I had no choice but to come this far where I wanted to arch in the Knights. I'll do my duty as royalty before I go home."
Adolfo didn't have to say the words "for my brother's sake". I don't like socializing originally, and swinging my sword is more suited to sex. But this is also the third prince's job.
When I was invited to the Dutwa State Ball, I was clearly not in the mood. But I'm an ally, and as a royalty, I've been invited. Someone has to go.
Because I really didn't want to leave the country at this important time. Still, it's an immediate nomination from my brother, the First Prince. You can't dislike it but not obey it.
"Your Highness Isaac, it's time to come"
"Oh. That's a real hassle. Just say hello to your aunt and quit early."
"No, I thought we should wait until the announcement"
"Announcement? Why. Is it about the marriage of Prince Wang?
He advanced early enough to the door weaving his jacket, but learned to catch on to Adolfo's words and stopped his leg. I frown suspiciously and look back and ask.
Then Adolfo raised the corner of his mouth with his fingers fixed, not to mention that my reaction and so on was as expected.
"It is rumored that apart from the marriage of Prince Dutois the king of Dutois, there will be other announcements for this ball"
"... it would be that one anyway? You know, showing off the Virgin of Light, right?
- The Virgin of Light. Apparently, my oldest brother was plotting to get it in his hands, but that ended in failure, too.... That's really funny.
As a nation, the Virgin of Light is not where I want it. After all, the Virgin has not been born in our country for 500 years, something that has happened since we separated Dutois from the country.
"Five hundred years ago, it was the Virgin who inspired us to separate the Dutois royal family. With that in mind, my country seems to be quite alert to Dutois in this case."
"Have you ever approached the Virgin in secret?
"Ah. Whatever, Brother Faust. It seems like it. But if I had succeeded, my brother Faust's power would have been unshakeable... if I hadn't saved him."
"What a difficult question to judge."
Yes, 500 years ago. There was a battle in one country and the country split into two parts. The story of the Virgin at the heart of that feud is a famous story in our country.
- But I'm sure no one in this country knows the fact that there were two Virgins then.
Even though we have formed alliances in recent years and national traffic has flourished, the separation between the two neighbouring countries is too great. That is why matters relating to the formation of our royal family and the magic of the royal family will continue to be kept secret and are not meant to be divulged outside the country.
Adolfo deepened his grin as he looked at me elsewhere.
"Oh, my God, that's meaningful."
I really think this guy has had a more suitable profession than a knight, so much so that he likes to explore his belly.
I carry my hand to my head trying to scratch my head with gassi. But I realized that I had just finished earlier, and I stopped.
"So, if you're not the Virgin of Light, what is it?"
"According to information purchased by my men, apparently Prince Wang's fiancée received the protection of the Spirit King"
"Ha!? He said he was the Spirit King!?"
He opens his eyes to words he doesn't even think about and stares at Adolfo's face.
- What do you mean? Surely Prince Wang's fiancée should not have been the Virgin of Light.
"... you changed your fiancée"
"No, it's not"
"What? Oh, my God, don't give a shit"
Wrinkle between the eyebrows in the way you let them contain. But Adolfo shook his shoulders with his hands on his mouth looking fun.
"That would surprise you, too. What a fiancée of Prince Wang, Lady Marquis Rachel Marcel... is the Virgin of Darkness"
- What do you mean?!? Dark Virgin.
Piscilli and his body solidify with a stunned eye.
"Is that... is that true"
"Yes. I thought you were going to announce that at the ball today. I thought you were inviting a lot of neighbors to spread the word."
"You're unbelievable. No way."
No way, not in my country... I can't believe someone will show up to give neighboring countries the protection of the Dark Spirit King.
"... darkness has given Dutois protection,? I wonder what the hell that means."
"Your Highness, what are you going to do?"
"I need to tell my brother as soon as possible... no, maybe he's grabbing some information. No... is that why it's me?
I can't afford to respond to what Adolfo asked me, and I put my fingers between my brows to sort my head out.
Well, what's the matter? Various measures are past my head, but I don't think any of them are effective and bother my head.
But it's still good to know this information before the ball. I felt like I was bored today because I had a purpose to attend the ball.
"I can't sort this out yet... apparently, this is going to work"
"I thought you'd say that."
When I signaled Adolfo with my gaze, Adolfo seemed to understand my intentions in an instant.
Really, this man is a good guess. "Keep your mouth shut," he lowered his head, respectfully placing his hand on his chest, and opened the door of the room.
"You're starting to look forward to today's ball."
- Rachel Marcel, huh? I wonder what kind of person he is. Russia is starting to interest me.
