--The royal castle is the Princess Lilac office.
The sound of snowy scenery quietly filled the room.
――
The focus of the Lilac moving the brush just ran out, slowly closing her eyes once.
She stood up slowly after finishing her brush in a pen stand.
The sky visible from the window is cloudy.
One sigh.
Everything is in order. I can say that it has been the best ever.
Even so, my heart is not clear.
--I remember three years ago.
In those days and now, everything is different in strength and environment.
I grabbed everything with my own hands.
If I had turned my head more three years ago, I would have taken this to a better situation.
Nevertheless, it is one thing to recall three years ago.
Because you know that no one is on your side.
I've survived the world on my own.
"... this is so sentimental."
That maid is, after all, a "contract." If it cuts off, it's over. Not an enemy, not an ally.
If you cut the contract from yourself, you cut it from the other party.
I am shamefully relieved that I am not in the same position as before.
A "contract" can only be made with an equal or inferior partner. It's bad to have someone on your side on unfavourable terms, even if it could end up being used in a good way.
So, this is good.
Futa will be back soon.
It is not hard to imagine what his expression is like. However, Lilac also knew from his knowledge that the wound of losing someone he loved was something that time would do.
I've seen people like that many times.
So, this is good.
The advantages and disadvantages are not proportionate, such as saving the "contract" expired corona.
Regardless of what happens to the King, the connection to the French nation has never been forgotten.
Unless she cuts the contract.
"... I don't need it if I have to"
Shake your head.
The sound of the heel slowly matches the tone of the orgall.
Standing in front, you can play it forever while the lid is open - her little box.
Seal that tiny box with beautiful tones of where you got it from.
I don't think I was wrong to order that witch to be a maid.
--After all, will she escape to her "profession" destiny?
"... fuu"
I looked up at the ceiling.
I don't know why I did it myself.
However, I noticed the difference in time.
Something that conveys your cheeks even though your emotions are not shaken.
This is ridiculous.
I was just betrayed by the expectations I had for the contract.
That will always be the case.
Just turn around and fight for what you're aiming for.
Yes, just fight.
"--Lilac-sama!!!!!
Ugh!
The moment, the door opened.
Reflexively, Lilac closed the small box.
The tone of the orgall that was flowing in the room stopped, and only the instantly turned away lilac appeared in Fouta's sight.
"... how much looseness do you feel coming into my room without knocking?"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Lilac?
"What is it?
Staring at her with her back, Huta leaked her words.
"What happened?
"Nothing else, but what can I do for you?"
Looking back, Lilac looked as clear as usual.
When Huta rushed straight to Lilac, she lowered her head with the same momentum.
"Please!!! Corona will be taken to France and killed!!!
"I guess..."
"Did you know...?
"I was thinking about such a case. Mostly they found us before we left town."
"Yes...."
Yes, that's why.
"--Without bothering Lilac!! Please, help me help her!! Please!! I definitely don't want him to die!!!
Lilac lowered her head and looked down quietly at her trembling body.
Close your mouth as if you hesitated to say a word or two.
I shook my head and told him.
"― ― There is no trouble-free range. If I help save her, I will suffer more or less."
"Oh, no."
"Besides"
Lilac lowered her eyebrows as she stared at Futa with her face raised. Like trouble. It's just for a moment.
"Corona doesn't trust me."
"That's not true!!
Yes, sir.
The quieter she became, the more she cut off Huta's words.
Grab your left arm with your right hand wrapped in a dress glove. It seems humiliating to talk, she said.
"... I don't trust you, so you ran away. I decided to take friendship with France more than just one maid. Otherwise, there is no reason to leave. Am I wrong?"
"Dear Lilac...."
Should we stop renewing the next contract? That's what I'm talking about, Princess. "
Yes, Ohhhh. Never mind. Then I'll only have 10 days left to take care of you!
Whoops? If you make it, you won't hear the princess's voice!
If you close your eyes and look back, nothing will happen.
Like she was nothing but a contract to herself.
It was just the same for her.
That's why
Are you worried about Futa?
She left the royal castle because she thought it would hurt when Lilac truncated it.
My life is not a second-guess story. It's just that I didn't put it on the balance.
There's no room for Lilac. It's far from a relationship of trust. It's just a contract.
"No, Master Lilac."
Unknown, trembling hands. She gently grabbed Lilac's hand, which seemed to be holding her arm tightly.
What a face you look like when you look back at me.
Gentle eyes that seem to cry and suffer, but still think of Lilac.
"What's different?"
"Everything. --Master Lilac. I've always wanted you two to get along. I hate it when it looks like this, but..."
"What... is that a little box of corona?
"... Corona wasn't just thinking about me."
A small box that was removed from my pocket.
It's familiar, but it's not the same as Orgol. It is different from what Huta gave me a few days ago, and I have my own in the room.
I opened it gently and then I heard her voice.
Ah, uh. Check, check. Yeah, it's reacting! That's right, Futa from all over the country, plus Lilac. Listen to the maid's last story.
"... this is..."
Lilac raised her eyebrows quietly.
It would be a lie to say that there was nothing I thought of as an extravagant treatment, but the voice was bright enough to know that it was recorded somewhere narrow.
"I retrieved it from Beatrice. I assume it was a will I was supposed to give to Master Lilac in 10 days."
"... is that a will?"
Lilac, who saw a rough development in the dialogue of collection, quietly stared at the small box.
Futa has nothing more to say.
The sound that just flows resounds in the quiet office.
Well, I didn't mean to leave it at first. Why? The last thing I wanted to say to Futa and the princess came out. Trouble. Trouble. "
She doesn't seem to understand why such feelings occurred.
She readily spins words.
If Futa-sama finds out that the maid is dead, you should ask her. At first, I think it would be like asking the princess alone or without asking anything. I don't like it. Yeah, I don't like it a bit. "
Runnpapah, nnpapah
Um. Not for Mr Fouta, huh? Something good, I want you to cheer up. Forget about the maid and have a good life! I want you to do something like this, so the princess will do her best. Fuuuuuuuuu "
"I'm sorry I suddenly disappeared. I really meant to go somewhere, but I felt like this happened after all. Well, I don't know what to do. Master Huta really took care of me, but the maid is a bit of a disgrace to people."
The hand holding the small box stretches out a lot.
Still, it won't close. Lilac needs to hear it out.
Desperately suppressing her rough emotions, Futa glanced at Lilac and stared straight at the small box.
"Princess. After all, you too! You won't open your mind to the maid until the end! Even though the maid was so maid, it was really useful. If you're made-up, you'll be jealous of Futa-sama who just came out. - No, it's not."
Then Lilac's eyes narrowed.
I've never been called you or anything.
I also understand that the last words to bequeath to the boulder would be genuine.
That's why, if you have a sense of usefulness, you should have asked for something that would have changed the treatment as a "contractor".
Still, the thing that bothered me the most was...
An unreasonable message to open your mind.
How can you open your mind to a woman who changes her emotions with time and expression?
I don't know if it's true or not.
Even now, Lilac can't tell if Corona's jealousy is real.
If it's a will, choose a word that will be passed on to the other person.
There's no one in front of you who wants to say that.
When I listened to anger in my chest, the words continued.
And that's what Futa wanted Lilac to hear.
But. Princess - Thank you for picking me up. "
Lilac's expression reveals confusion.
I enjoyed the time I spent doing maid work in my life...
I knew that.
Actually, I thought I could do it forever.
I knew that, too.
That's why I can't trust you.
But I didn't want to bother the princess about the maid's life. Yeah, I hate it so much!
--I drank my breath.
Well, the best way to repay that is to lose your maid? I thought so!
"- You!!!!
Unexpectedly step forward and grab the small box from the lid.
So, I want you to forgive me. When I said I was going to cut the deal, I realized it was the boulder that got angry. It's a shorter contract than I thought, isn't it?
"Don't joke...!!
─ Hmm. I wonder if it is something like this. It's refreshing. Okay, both of you. Be happy, okay?
The recording was quickly finished. It will start again with her greeting in a few moments.
Before Lilac calls out to Lilac with her small box tucked away.
Lilac smashed the small box to the floor and crushed it into grand pieces.
"Don't joke!!
The name of the emotion I held was anger.
I "contracted" for what? What did you bring me here for? What did you hire her for?
All you have to do is find value in her.
--What, open your heart.
You have not heard my words much, have you?
"Don't joke, don't joke - don't joke!!
Lilac, screaming and stepping on the floor, stopped in a hurry.
If the shattered fragments are going to sting your feet in any way, it's a good idea.
However, she doesn't care enough to say so.
I shaken my hair and stepped on the wreckage of a small box, but my anger didn't go away.
"Who do you think I am!! Did you think that sheltering like you was so fragile that it burdened you!! This hole!! Don't think up!! Die with shame!!!
Hah, hah, let your twinkling pale eyes shake like a rough breath.
Then, when she tried to fall down without any force, Huta hugged her from the front.
A small, leaking voice on your chest.
"... you fool"
"Dear Lilac...."
Huta doesn't know what Lilac is happy about.
I am not a man who can still speak, such as a clever dialog.
But I know what to say.
"Corona doesn't care about your profession. I don't think you're just a contract.... it's not just me."
Shake her head and slowly stroke the embraced princess's hair, relieving her blowing emotions.
"Corona and I both like you."
"... I'm asking you, Futa"
Yes, what is it?
"Is that what she really meant?"
"Definitely.... when I saw her and you, I always thought so.... I knew you cared more about Corona than you thought."
"I'm not proud of you."
The exhaled lilac gently releases itself from the lilac.
And when I wiped my eyes, I shaken my neck slightly.
The expression "Her Royal Highness Princess Lilac" appears immediately.
"Futa"
"Yes"
"Thank you."
She continues with a fluffy, gorgeous smile.
"About the Knights of the Dragons. His Majesty the King. Relationship with the country of law. The Olba Chamber of Commerce. About Corona. ― ― Setting up to a board surface that Futa is good at
"I'll take care of everything."
The princess moves.
