It's free

"......."

I blinked.

I blinked and tried to move my fingertips at the same time. I'm moving.

Without a problem, I raised my head, lifted my waist, and moved my lips.

“Kim……, Confucius…."

1).

I could tell. My name. The coordinates of my tracks.

Didn't lose it, didn't lose it.

"Tsk......!?"

At that moment, an excruciating headache gripped my head.

"Ugh……! Tsk...!"

The blood vessels on the side of my head seemed to pop. The headache spread quickly from side to front. Ugh! Lips open, salivary glands twitching, refusing to control. I wiped the saliva off my mouth with the back of my hand.

“Ugh..."

“Miss! Are you okay? ”

Someone jumps in. The sound of the door and the sound of the feet intertwined.

Even the noise of urgency was noisy, the sheep gnawing the metal in my head with their fingernails.

“Uhh... Quiet..."

I had to moan.

“Come on, the sound... …."

“Oh, my God. Look at that fever on your head. ”

Fortunately, the opponent seems to understand me.

“I was hoping you'd be okay for the weekend. Ah, I see. I'll get a doctor."

“Well……"

“Just a moment, please. Miss, the other kids will be here soon. ”

It was difficult to understand the situation.

Lady, if you call me "lady," then maybe I'm a woman.

If so, was she of the original gender?

‘That's weird.'

There is no such thing as gender on record. You were exterminated. You deprived the tower of its name and appearance, so even if I peer into the trauma with my skills, I can't tell.

My skills are also cast in the Tower.

"Why?"

I was snowed in pain.

‘What kind of person has trauma been replaced…….'

And I looked up at the mirror in the room.

I forgot to moan and opened my mouth.

"......."

Silver hair for moonlight.

Bloodshot eyes that make the person facing you delicate.

However, the curve from the forehead to the jaw line is so fierce that it can not keep an eye on the acrobatics that seem to break, humans feel fear that they do not know, but are also not allowed to look at her with any choice except to look at her.

It is.

“Lady Raviel? Are you okay?”

“As soon as you wake up today, I think you have a fever in your head again.... ”

“She's a bit of a slut. It's okay. It's probably nothing serious. ”

“What do I do? Should I tell her? ”

“It'll be worrying. Once I see the examination……."

I was the one I loved.

It's free

"......."

I lay down by the fountain in the garden and stared blankly up at the sky.

Apparently, I've become the beloved Goddess Raviel Ivancia.

Raviel was a very young boy.

“You must be twelve..."

This mumbling voice is also a beautiful ringing, even though it may sound like a refraction in your mouth once.

"Ugh."

I'm ashamed of myself for muttering to myself. It was like he was whispering in my head.

What should I do?

If you look at this, you look like a human being who's ashamed of his voice, but he's just, like, crazy.

Even though I'm ashamed, it's a little...

“I see.”

I realized.

“I have to be dumb.... ”

That was genius.

“I'll have to live with my eyes closed while I'm at it. It's a mirror. If you don't look, that's why you won't be able to dress up your maids. The trick is to tie bandages on your face at all. ”

“Lady! You shouldn't be lying in a fountain! ”

A maid jumps from afar.

“Welcome. ”

I was lying on a circular fountain of rocks. The sun is shining, but the fountain cools down here.

Raviel likes cool energy. I haven't known her since I lived with her. My body instinctively searched for a cool place, even as a child.

“No, that's not right. Slow down. I can't breathe. ”

“Heh heh heh... Oh my... Oh my... ”

“Has it already fallen? Your advice is too late. It is your virtue not to heed the groaning of your acolytes. ”

“Oh, girl... In a place like this, lying around, lying around! As the Empire's finest lady, be sure to suspect elegance…! ”

The servant covered my waist with a thin blanket. Even a blanket feels great. The Ivanian family wanted to prove to the public that they didn't need to save money, so it was unnecessarily lavish.

“Is that so?"

“Yes!"

“But think about it. As you said, I am the Empire's finest lady. However, the Empire's First Lady is not only given from birth, but also a credential document that must be proven over and over again. ”

“Yes?”

“If I don't fit in with the best lady, as you said, the mere appearance of lying idle in a fountain. My bowl is just that. But what if it's not? ”

“Yes?”

“If I still look noble in spite of lying by the fountain, that is proof of my radiance. Isn't that right? It is the Empire's first lady who should feel dignity in eating, sleeping, wearing, and just living. Of course, even lying by the fountain should be a picture. ”

“Ugh… ugh, ugh…? ”

“So the blanket is a no-no. ”

I tuck and tuck the blanket into the fountain.

“Ouch! It's expensive...! ”

“The fountain sometimes wants to cover the blanket. But look at me. ”

The servant did not know what to do and followed my orders.

I saw myself in the eyes of the maid.

Lie on a fountain stone ledge, one arm down, looking at the servant sideways.

"......."

“How do you feel?”

“… so noble. ”

“Can it be drawn? ”

“Yes. You are a picture...."

“I'm asking you about your emotions. Is it a cultural gain or a cultural loss to cover this portrait with a brown blanket? Should there be a blanket or should there not be a painting in the halls of the imperial palace? ”

“… Huh? It's more beautiful without...? ”

“That's it. ”

I nodded satisfactorily.

“That is, I have proven to be the Empire's finest lady. I'm trying my best to get the paintings to hang on the walls of the Imperial Palace. Turns out you don't need to worry, either. ”

“Huh?...... huh?"

“Go now. I want to enjoy the freshness of the garden and the sound of fountains. ”

“Oh, yes……. Huh? Huh...? ”

The servant retreated, tilting her head. The tilt does not stop all the way back. Seeing that, I felt a bit of cheerfulness in my cold heart.

Just a minute.

At the fountain next to your head, a sound of water rushes in.

"......."

It's free

"......."

It's free

"......."

It's free

"Well……"

What it is.

This, the bottomless boredom. No, the bottom itself, the boredom, what the hell.

“Indeed.”

This is Raviel's childhood.

“I wonder, is the world not fun? ”

Emotions that dominate the whole of childhood.

“Reading books, chattering in social circles, learning swords, whatever it takes, it's not worth it. ”

The sky is blue. There are few white clouds because it is clear. But even a skyscraper like that would look more colorful than my current face, Raviel.

Absolute expressionless.

Imagine that there are a few tracks, tracks, tracks that can be walked alive from now on.

‘Become Emperor's wife. Become the Empress and make the Emperor a puppet and play with the Empire. Otherwise, we will scrape together the nobles' factions and rebel against the name of Ivan. The world enjoys twenty years of service, calling for a newly built empire. ’

Maybe that's the maximum number of lines given since Raviel was born.

‘Anything is possible. ’

I felt I could succeed in any of them, unless accidental misfortune intervened.

‘The Emperor's Emperor is a member of the Royal Family. There's no reason to rebel. The faithful who work hard under His Majesty's knees, and the peasants who wield their pickaxes every season in the land of Ivan, are very satisfied. ’

I thought the landscape was beautiful.

Just like when you see a name that you don't know well, you feel beautiful, but it's not fun.

The feeling of [I want to keep beautiful things as they are] was only in this heart.

‘Then I will make the empire……. To be precise, will we be able to live life for the people of the empire? ’

It's got to mean something.

It's just...

"Boring."

I can't stand being bored.

Wake up every morning, dust off the painting, work to preserve the color, catch the minefield trying to ruin the painting, and kill the thief trying to steal it.

That's all.

Life is defined from morning to evening.

“Hey.”

Fondant.

A wave strikes the surface of the fountain.

Turning slowly, a blond boy smiles in the middle of the garden with a pebble.

“Ma'am.”

"......."

I opened my lips expressionlessly.

“I'm not your wife yet. Your Majesty.”

“Then I'm going to be a wife. ”

“Wouldn't it be rude of me to call you imperial? ”

“I know it's a virtue for couples to be rude to each other. If you don't take him in, well, you're going to get a concubine. Is that the future you want? ”

“I honestly don't care. ”

“My wife's plan is a woman with a really cold heart. ”

The blonde boy was reasonably pathetic.

The unique deficit of this empire. Heir to the Empire, the Crown Prince.

I was also a man who had been my fiancé for 20 years.

Before I was born,

‘Is this also a track? ’

Blonde tracks rumble.

“You stand at last and show no respect. You're the first person who's ever laid eyes on me, except for a lot of people. ”

“It is the virtue of couples to be rude to each other. ”

“Oh. Then it's okay for me to be more rude. ”

The Crown Prince grabbed my wrist. The wrist was cooled with just the right coolness, so the temperature shifted when the Crown Prince grabbed it. Maybe the red marks will stay on my wrist.

“Let's go.”

“Where? ”

“Anywhere. Well, to be honest, Avama wants you to shake things up a little bit. It means there's nothing wrong with showing it to the Ivans. I agree. Wouldn't it be in your best interest to talk to the most beautiful lady in the empire anyway? ”

“You speak well. It will be Tuesday. ”

"Huh?"

The boy tilted his head.

“What are you talking about? ”

“A horse's improvisational or improvisational behavior leaves a trail. Considering this trail is called responsibility. Horses are only allowed to open and close their mouths once, so you have to follow your actions to take responsibility. The footprint will be as long as the King speaks well, but I can handle it. ”

“......? ”

Indeed.

You don't understand.

He is the emperor impersonating an adult as much as he can, but he cannot even understand the advice that touches the heart of life.

You have to be an adult or a genius to understand that.

Unfortunately, the Crown Prince is neither.

“That's quite a speech. Well, that's fine. I'm not here to be tutored by your future wife. ”

“If I may?”

“There's a new shop in town! They say they have lots of exotic refreshments and seasonal strawberries and they're delicious! ”

“…… you can prepare for refreshments right at the main residence. Do you want me to bring it out?”

“Ah, I have no idea. I have no idea! ”

The title is to be denied from the wife, now it is.

“The refreshments coming out of the kitchen are just evidence of service! I don't want to serve. A suitable exchange between free people and free people.... That's right. I want a free business! ”

“The people will envy you and me for being free. ”

“We envy each other. An ideal citizenship relationship! ”

I don't listen.

Rather, this guy doesn't know what he's talking about, just picks up plausible sentences and scatters them.

“Hey, hey! You already have a wagon. It's not an Imperial Wagon or your family wagon, but a wagon borrowed from the Merchants Guild. No one will recognize us! ”

That can't be right.

His silver hair is a symbol of noble Ivan. Immediately after entering the refreshment store, the waiter was embarrassed and fell to his knees, watching the host leaping forward and leaning down, and he easily imagined it in Raviel's head.

Is that so?

“Do as you will. ”

“Oh! You're still talking, though, I will! ”

How to get off the track, is it that simple?

“After you stop by the store, go to the market! Phew. I'm not proud of it, but I've been all over the 6, 3 and even permanent markets held in the Imperial Circle. In this direction, I'm a better expert than you. ”

“Yes."

You just have to be a little stupid.

“I'm excited.”

“Look forward to it!”

Being with this man makes me feel like my life is shaking.

The things I am used to, the everyday life I am going to spend today, eating and drinking, sleeping places, all the tracks are shaking and twisting.

It wasn't until I said it was fun.

Obviously, it was something to assess as‘ fresh ’.

“Here! Coming! This way, this way! ”

I can forget myself even for a moment.

Where would that be?

In her own life, if that's the case, maybe there's a reason to give her heart.

“Fantastic. How did seasonal strawberries taste? Here, have a bite to eat. Hmm. Next...... Suddenly I wanted to see the sea. How's the ocean? Let's go to the sea.”

Getting away from me is the hardest thing.

To forget.

For a man like himself, forgetting was always the hardest.

“It's so dark that I can't see the ocean.... ”

“Your Grace.”

Yes, it is.

"Hmm?"

I've decided to be happy with this life.

It's free, but it's not.

“I will try to love you. ”

“Oh! Finally…."

“Haona, I have a condition. ”

Sometimes there is a life that must be satisfied and live only by the light of the moon, not by the sun.

“Love only me. ”

"......."

Sleep must also be calm to shine the moonlight.

I just decided to ask the world to be quiet.

“Please don't take your concubine. Don't even look at me. If love is possible in your heart, give me the love that you have given, and if love is impossible, give it to me. ”

"......."

“Then perhaps I can stay by your side. We can protect you, we can preserve the empire, we can protect everyone. Your Grace, can you promise me that you will love only me? ”

The boy shut up.

Soon after, the boy said brightly, with a fight that was no different than usual.

“Of course!”

"......."

“I will only love my wife!

Yeah, it is.

It would be nice to look forward to the world.

At least, rather than the faint sound of water in the fountain -- the echoes in the unseen sea, the endless, even the bottom, the sound of the waves is a little cooler.

[Implementing the trauma of the enemy that killed you.]

I am.

I closed my eyes quietly.
