"---Mrs. Reticcia, I brought Lena to her bedroom."

"Thank you. Thank you, Lucian."

Lena, who had eaten stewed tomatoes, cried again.

The nostalgic taste seems to have cut the thread that was stuck.

It was Lena who cried tirelessly and fell asleep, but her face felt calm.

I thought maybe I could exhale my feelings by crying as much as I could... and looked out the window without even seeing it.

In the summer sun, rest in the shade of the trees.

is lying face down and sleeping tightly.

Melanie seems to be asleep burying herself a little further away from her soft feathers.

"Isn't it hot in here?

I've been watching it for a while, but I didn't see any signs of coming.

Perhaps the comfort of Pippa's feathers was better than the heat.

You're very friendly and cute.

My cheeks relaxed when I fell asleep.

Melanie was the worst friend I ever met.

It seemed like they were comfortable at a distance from each other, even though they couldn't get close.

"As we spend time together, the relationship will change...."

I thought of you and Gu in my head.

Since I learned Gu's secret, I and His Majesty have a lot to do, and I didn't have time to listen carefully to Gu's case.

Your Majesty still seems to be busy with handling and coordinating the case, as well as various official duties.

I have to wait a little longer to discuss Gu-sama's case...

"Face to face with His Majesty, I'm going to turn away....."

Awkward.

It was pretty awkward.

On the day of the rose gathering, there were many people around, and by fulfilling her role as the "decorative queen", I was able to overcome the awkwardness and embarrassment.

It is true, however, that in our discussions with His Majesty, we do not know what will happen.

It's scary, but I can't wait.

It was with that in mind that I waited for the day to speak with His Majesty.

◇ ◇ ◇

About twenty days after that, I didn't have to face His Majesty properly.

Your Majesty seems to be busy, and I spend quite a lot of time looking after the gardener cats and entertaining the ladies who come to the tea party in the outhouse.

"Dear Retichea, how about dinner tomorrow? Gilbert said he wanted us to make a decision before today's purchase."

Walking down the hallway, Lena came with a message from the kitchen.

"I see, tomorrow... hmm? That hair is so cute."

Unlike usual, it was wrapped around two knotted hair knots and braided.

A stylish and cute hairstyle that looks like a ribbon braid.

Ehehe, thank you very much.

Lena was delighted.

My cat's ears were twitching and my tail was shaking up.

"I had a little time this morning, so I tried to devise a haircut."

"It looks good on you. You're good at messing with your hair."

"I'm glad you're doing well. I've always liked to play with my hair."

It seems like I can afford to feel so attached to my hair.

The day I ate the second stewed tomato, I felt better and better.

The atmosphere of Lena was brighter and I was glad to have lived more relaxed than before.

"Why are you laughing, Leticia?

"Fufu, it's nothing.... yeah, it's dinner tomorrow..."

Think a little.

Then, immediately, wrinkles appeared between my eyebrows.

Tomorrow evening, I am invited to His Majesty's castle.

I was worried about what kind of face I should face to see His Majesty.
