Tensei saki de suterareta no de, mofumofu tachi to oryouri shimasu ~okazari ouhi wa my pace ni saikyou desu~

After finishing the wolfing exercise and seeing off the returning Edgars.

When Guu-sama stroked the ground with his right forefoot, he slapped it five times.

"Okay, let's go over there."

He stepped on the snow and headed for the wooden hut next to the palace.

"Von, excuse me for a moment."

Kyuuuu

From the back of the hut, the phone whispered back.

Griffon has a habit close to hibernation.

In the wild, people lived in remote high peaks and low-temperature alpine areas, so in the winter, activities were suppressed, there was little food and excretion, and nesting seemed to take place.

My phone hasn't been flying in the air for the last two months or so, and I've been quietly sitting in the shed.

A round silhouette sits with your feet underneath your body.

Every breath, the decorative wings of my head twitched, and the folded wings were faintly up and down.

Beneath her body are branches of trees, fallen leaves, and a nest of wolves for wintering.

Edgar brings wolves to visit frequently, so there's plenty of nesting material.

Inside the cabin, only Phone and I, Lucian and Togoo, were lurking.

"Grrrr!"

Guu's body was enveloped by the light, and a tall figure appeared in turn.

Dazzling silver hair and blue eyes reminiscent of a winter lake.

His Majesty Glenn Reed, who had the same color as Master Gu, stood there.

“Greetings, Your Majesty, and thank you for your hard work.”

I bowed my head and thanked him.

Lady Gu and Majesty Glenn Reed. Even if we know that they are the same, the difference in appearance is still great.

I'm still a little nervous when I'm with you in your human form.

I could see my heart faintly fussing when I was stared at by the sharp eyes.

No matter how many times I see it, His Majesty has a very beautiful face.

Thanks to the two older brothers, I thought I was used to aesthetics, but recently, when I met His Majesty in human form, I became excited.

“How can I help you today?”

Gu Lady Gu slammed the ground with her right forefoot five times, a sign that she wanted to talk about in a human form.

"I didn't think the emperor would have any urgent business or state affairs that needed to be discussed with me..."

"I am thinking of joining His Majesty the King of Eritrea in his ceremony for the tenth anniversary of his reign."

Your Majesty, too?

It wasn't unexpected, but it was a bit unexpected.

The 10th anniversary ceremony of His Majesty the King of Eritrea and the wedding of my former fiancé, Prince Fritz, will take place this spring.

It's a big celebration every few years or decades, but it takes time to get back and forth from here.

Even the royal carriage would need more than a month to get there and back.

His Majesty will be away from the capital for at least two months, considering the social interaction and stay before and after the ceremony.

Is it all right for His Majesty to leave the capital open for a long time now?

His Majesty, the ruler, has a reputation for excellence and is revered as the Silver Wolf King, but unfortunately he was still in office for a short period of time and the ground could not be described as a stepping stone.

I've been married to this country, and the emperor asked me to choose a queen from the nobility of the country, to buy me time and dodge the wind.

Fortunately, there is no imminent crisis or political discord at the moment, but two months after opening the country, something unexpected may have happened.

"As His Majesty's successor, it should also be my duty as queen to attend ceremonies and diplomacy. Am I not strong enough on my own?"

In form only, I have come to this country as an expulsion from the Kingdom of Eltoria.

It may be unsettling for me to leave it to my diplomacy with Eltoria.

“No, it's not that I don't trust you.”

I am relieved that you have spoken so clearly to me.

His Majesty does abdominal art, but he is sincere.

The lies and consolations of the scene were supposed to be unspoken.

"Is the kingdom of Eltoria where you were born and raised? When it comes to witchcraft, it is said that it is the leading nation on the continent and that there are many famous ruins that tell the story of history. I just wanted to visit it once."

"Fufu, thank you for your compliments. When His Majesty comes to my country, I will also entertain him with my father."

I'm glad to be praised for my hometown.

It's a country that other countries tend to hate, but there were a lot of good things about it.

When he was the fiancée of Prince Fritz, he also had a full knowledge of tourist destinations in order to entertain dignitaries from other countries as part of Queen's education.

Since I came to this country, I have had my servant send me to live there.

When I came to the Kingdom of Eltoria in return, I wanted to show you something nice.

"... but, Your Majesty, is it really all right to leave the country?" I don't think it's going to matter, but is there any melancholy? "

“Not at all, but as long as you rule the kingdom, you will always be attached. Fortunately, recently, I had a very good ally."

"... ally?"

Who are you talking about?

Recently, I wonder if you're referring to the next candidate for Our Lady, I Liena-sama?

Last fall, Lady I Liena was embroiled in a plot by Duke Kernel.

Mirsa, who belongs to I Liena's faction, has been saved by my actions and those of His Majesty.

Does Lord I Liena feel grateful and pledge allegiance to His Majesty?

It was certainly a reassuring ally, but I was honestly suspicious when asked if that was enough to put me at ease.

Something may have happened without my knowledge.

"I'm sorry, but I can't talk about it in detail yet. For now, that's enough to convince me."

I see. Your Majesty's words.

I figured it wasn't supposed to be against me...

To say "not yet" in detail, I may well be able to find out too.

I'm worried, but I'm not going to go deep in this place.

I'm sure your Majesty will tell me when the time is right.

“I'd like to talk about things like going to Eltoria. Do you think you'll be able to get some time somewhere next evening?"

Absolutely. Next week...

I made a quick appointment and made an appointment for dinner.

His Majesty is coming out between jobs. I didn't have much time to talk about it.

I look forward to seeing you next week, Your Majesty.

"Yeah, I'm waiting."

Even as he nodded, his Majesty still didn't seem to be able to leave.

“What's the matter? Is there anything else that bothers you?”

…………

His Majesty slightly turned his gaze toward the entrance of the hut.

At the entrance stood Lucien, who watched for people, and beyond him was a corner of the garden where the wolves' footprints remained.

"... do you like sledding?"

“I like it. I've always admired dogs and wolves riding a sled.”

When combined with previous life, it was a dream that lasted lightly for more than twenty years.

"I had a long-standing dream, and just now I was drowsy." Did you see it too, Your Majesty? "

"Ahh, it was fun riding and watching."

His Majesty's lips were slightly loose.

It was a small but warm smile, like a small flower blooming in the snowy landscape on one side.

With that much change, my cheeks are going to be hot as well.

I'm embarrassed to be seen as a child... no, maybe not?

Before she realized that she was the same person as the Emperor, she was embarrassed in front of Master Gu.

Her folds, her folds, her folds, her stupidity, her improvisation singing...

When I think of it, I want to roll on the ground, so I decide to stop doing this.

When I think about the mess I've had so far, I'm sure I'm not ashamed to be seen on the sled now, when I'm high...

If so, what's the heat on this cheek?

I want to know, but I also feel like I shouldn't know.

I turned to His Majesty to deceive him.

"His Majesty was staring at Edgar and the sleigh when Hagu-sama appeared." What did you think of that? "

"... I just thought I'd miss it"

Do you miss it? Has your Majesty ever been on a wolf?

"Once upon a time, my royal ancestors had the legend of winning the battle with a wolf sledding through the frigid lands." As the anecdote tells us, the Wang family's children are educated to ride the wolf. "

I see. Your Majesty, you're good at running wolves.

His Majesty is an excellent motorist.

When Gu Lady was in shape, she was put in the sight of the wolves, and she might not be a rider anymore.

“I'll show you when I get the chance....... when that happens, you too......!"

His Majesty breathed sharply.

He quickly ran to the entrance and gave Lucien instructions.

"Eavesdropping. You go around to your right."



Lucien rushed out as quickly as she could.

Who's eavesdropping?

Lucien was an excellent guard, and his ancestors were sensitive.

It must have been a lot of work to sneak past those two sensors.

I jumped my guard to the highest level and immediately chanted my defensive magic while observing my surroundings.

"Haha, I've come. I didn't expect to find out so soon."

I heard a voice with a smile on it.

The voice of low, smooth, singing subduing.

"Mr. Leonard..."

I'm losing my temper.

Leonard, the bard, came into the cabin with the Emperor, who was caught between his eyebrows.

I don't know what you're thinking, but it shouldn't be dangerous anytime soon.

Prince Leonard is officially dead.

Born from an affair with his mother, he didn't actually have blood ties to him, but he seemed to love him as his brother.

"Why did you eavesdrop on me?"

"It just so happens that when I look at your dilemma, I see you walking into my hut for some reason." The secret of others is the taste of honey, right? "

"So, please stop eavesdropping." Mr. Leonard, you said that since you were free from Duke Kernel in the first place, you'd just become a bard, right? Why did you come here on the grounds of the Imperial Castle? "

"Even if you're just a bard, you're going to the royal castle." Look, you can play anywhere on this street. "

Leonard was chirping his lute when he pulled it out.

... aren't you too free?

My oniisama is also at a very slow pace, and I wonder if that's what my brother's race is like...

When I turned around and was impressed, Lucien who was returning nodded.

Maybe you were thinking the same thing with your heart.

"... I'm going back to government. Don't let Leticia get you into trouble. Speaking of brothers, I'm not going to be relentless, right?"

His Majesty's hair was pulled back, but he changed and returned.

It seems that staying here is bad for the government.

Fuck?

Perhaps you sense the noisy atmosphere of the humans, or the von is trying to wake you up.

I laid my hand on her neck and calmed her down. I turned to Leonard.

"...... Leonard is still spying on you?"

Otherwise, I couldn't explain why I was here.

There are many nobles in this country who know the face of Prince Leonardo.

Although it is unlikely to be noticed, as it seems to have changed its behavior considerably since the time of the prince, as long as Leonard has a face in the royal castle, there will be many opportunities to find out that he is Prince Leonard.

If I was going to live as a bard, I wouldn't have to take that risk.

"Haha, here's your advice." People must be somebody's secret detective and spy. ”

You're saying the right thing, but you're not denying it.

I knew it, didn't I?

I knew it? Did you expect it?

"Susuke, but..." You're still spying for the Emperor, aren't you? "
