The day after I went to oniisama's boarding house to see how Mii and Kotatsu were doing.

I was receiving a visit from His Highness Atiardo when I left the palace, and I was serving tea.

Your Majesty Atiardo seems to have a very good reputation.

About a month after I came to the capital.

His Highness Atiardo seems to be socializing, connecting with many powerful people and building friendly relationships.

His Highness Atiardo smiles modestly when he places the tea utensils.

"Thanks to Master Leticia's help."Everyone you introduced praised Leticia-sama.You've been loved and admired in this country for a long time. ”

"Fufu, maybe it's because of the food."Delicious cuisine is what binds us together. ”

"There is no difference. This tart is also very delicious."

The tart with plenty of chocolate was offered to His Highness Atiardo.

His Highness Atiardo likes chocolate.

Bush de Noel, who was released from the woods, seemed to be captive to chocolate.

After a gentle chat, the tea candy disappeared into the stomach.

His Highness Atiardo spun words to confirm.

Leticia-sama lives a healthy life in this country.

"Yes, people in this country are doing very well."I already feel this place like a second country. "

"Homeland, is it?...... I wonder if there are any fewer reminders of the betrothal in Eltoria?"

It's not much.

There was a time when that happened.Sometimes I think about it.

After my engagement was broken up, I was wondering what happened to the country, and I was buying information.

I rarely personally think about the fiancée or the ex-fiancée, Prince Fritz, who became my fiancé on my behalf.

It was a state of partitioning as a past event.

"Cook, talk to His Majesty, and spend time with the people of this country."I didn't have time to bother remembering past events that weren't fun. ”

"...... Master Leticia is strong, isn't she?"

His Highness, Atiardo, smiled deeply and glanced at him for the first time.

“I came here this time for a purpose other than to deepen the relationship between the two countries.”

“Is this an invitation to me and His Majesty to attend the ceremony to celebrate His Majesty's tenth anniversary, to be held in the Kingdom of El Salvador early next spring?”

“Yes, but that's not accurate.In conjunction with His Majesty the King's tenth anniversary ceremony, we are planning to hold the wedding of His Royal Highness Prince Fritz. ”

"His Royal Highness Fritz..."

Former fiancé, attending a wedding.

Even though I'm not obsessed with Lord Fritz, it depends on what they do, and if I make a mistake, it's going to become a Shura.

“Is it okay if I attend?”

"It seems that the two of them who are going to get married want Master Leticia to attend."... they want to show that they're so happy. ”

"That's right..."

If so, it was difficult to say no.

Wedding invitees are a measure of who gets married.

Even though it is a decoration, I, the queen of one country, may think that the foil will be formed by the marriage of the two of them.

Attending His Majesty the King's tenth anniversary ceremony and not attending His Royal Highness Fritz's most recent wedding will inevitably lead to a corner.

That said, the absence of His Majesty the King until the ceremony marking the tenth anniversary of His Majesty's assumption of office is a bad diplomatic choice.

It was hard to say no if they asked me to come to the wedding.

“I was against inviting Leticia to the wedding.Because I could not think of it as an act of trampling on the heart of Master Leticia, who told me to break the engagement unilaterally and drive her out of the country and bless her marriage.... but when I came to this country and talked to Master Leticia, I understood.Leticia has survived the betrothal and acted admirably as the Queen of this country.I began to think that Leticia-sama would be okay to invite you to the wedding. ”

"... that's right."

Think.

I thought about it, and I chose it.

“Very well, the ceremony marking the tenth anniversary of His Majesty King Fritz's reign and the wedding of His Highness Fritz.I would like to propose to His Majesty in both directions. ”

A visit to the homeland of the Kingdom of El Salvador, where I lived for seventeen years.

I made up my mind.

◇ ◇ ◇

After speaking with His Majesty and consulting with him, my trip to the Kingdom of El Salvador has been officially decided.

It's early spring next year that we leave here.We were still a little far away, but we needed to get ready.

What do you say?

As I sat at my desk and thought about my future plans, Ichi approached me.

I jumped up to my desk and peered into my room with my light green eyes.

I'm going back to my exiled hometown next time.

Stretch out your right hand and stroke your little head.

Looking good, In-chan was shaking his beard and squeezing his eyes.

I'm going to leave this house empty for a while, but do you want to do it all the time?

Ask.

Ichi opened her eyes and looked up at us.

I'm so sorry!

"Wow."

Rubbing, also on the legs. Ine-chan rubbed her head against my body.

I want to be nearby. Perhaps he's showing his will.

Will you come with me, too?

Nah!

I nodded vigorously, as if.

"If you serve me a dish, I'll follow you everywhere."

It seemed like that was what he was telling me.

"Fufu, thanks, Ichi-chan."

I smiled and stroked Ie-chan.
