It was a harsh winter, and the snow was diminishing a lot.

We were to leave for the Kingdom of Eltoria as scheduled.

Your Majesty and I, the King and Queen, are on a journey together.

There were many staff members, and there were more than ten carriages in front of the main gate of the Imperial Castle.

Finalize your itinerary and enter the carriage with your Majesty.

During the journey, I plan to ride on the same carriage as His Majesty.

"I'll go." I'll take care of the rest.

I put my face out of the window and waved to the people I saw off.

"Hah. Please take care of yourself."

While I was away, I left the preparation for my divorce to the head of the staff, Mr. Baugan.

The people who came to see me off, side by side.

Not only on the ground, but also on the trees, the farewell was overflowing.

Nah!

Fuwa fuwa fuwa.

On the branches, the gardener cats are belled.

It looks like you've come to see me off or Mr. Gilbert.

When I waved with a smile, the gardener and the cats waved their hands to compete.

◇◇◇

"Phew. You're a little tired, aren't you?"

I sank into my seat and took a light breath.

I've been waving for over an hour now.

Even after the carriage departed from the King's city, it was moving slowly as fast as humans could walk.

The spectacular carriage sight of the king of his own country is one of the entertainment of the people of the capital.

It was also an opportunity to show off the prestige of the royal family, and it was like a parade.

I waved to the people along the road through the window while I continued on my journey through the King's City.

I used to train my body quite well to enjoy cooking, which is a form of hard work, but I think I'll get a muscle ache tomorrow.

His Majesty's fingers were stretched closer as he rubbed his arms.

"Your Majesty...?"

"Stay still for a while."

"Ah....."

It was refreshing.

I felt a pleasant coldness.

A layer of cold air surrounded her arms. Even when I moved my arm, it followed me and provided me with coldness.

Is this the power of your ancestors?

"That's right. Even in human form, you can manipulate the cool air like this." Cooling your muscles down when you use them hard will help relieve the pain afterwards. Isn't it too cold? "

“Thank you, I think it's just the right amount of cold. Are you used to this hand procedure?"

Once upon a time, when I was practicing swordsmanship...

I see.

Nodding, I saw His Majesty's arm.

More like a skinny sire, but he's got a good muscle.

Like me, I should have waved my arms all the way through the capital, but I didn't seem tired.

On the long finger, if you look closely, there is something like a sword octopus.

He made time for his government and still seems to be trained.

I stared at the masculine bony fingers for some reason.

"... what's the matter?"

"Excuse me."

I pulled my gaze back subtly.

If you're staring too hard, you might get upset.

"I thought one of my brothers had a sword."

"You mean your second brother, Bernalt?" I hear he's a very good soldier. I'd like to talk to you about this trip if I have the opportunity. ”

“It's an honor. Oniisama Bernalt will be very pleased with you, I'm sure."

With a smile on my face, inside, I was dazzled.

"Oniisama Bernalt, you're an excellent person, but you have a strong habit..."

I'm also worried about your Majesty.

I decided to change my story so as to mislead my anxiety.

Since you've left the King's City, is it time for you to become Master Gu?

Your Majesty was so busy here that he couldn't afford to be a Gu-Sama in preparation for his trip to the Kingdom of Eltoria.

His Majesty is in danger of suddenly becoming a gu-sama when he spends his entire life in a human form.

The only people in the carriage right now are me, Your Majesty, and the seats.

It was a great opportunity not to worry about the eyes.

Ah, let me do that.

His Majesty nodded and changed into the figure of Gu with the light.

When Guu-sama moved his nose, he turned his blue-eyed eyes toward me.

"Grrrr!"

"... are you coming here?"

"Grrrr!"

Lady Gu moved to my seat across the street.

The royal horse-drawn carriage is luxurious and extensively built inside.

The seats were big enough to seat more than a few people.

When Guu-sama lay down on my lap, his head was resting on my lap.

"Fufu, you've been made into a pillow."

While talking to you, you can enjoy the comfort of stroking Gu-sama who has been shabby for a while.

Your Majesty can be a little nervous when he's a human, but it's okay to be a gu-sama.

The silver fur strands are smooth everywhere and glow in the light from the window.

In a quiet carriage where only the sound of the wheels echoes.

The knee weights are pleasant, and the legs are pleasant.

My eyelids went little by little.

◇◇◇

"... what is this all about?"

Glenn Reed murmured as he was swayed by the carriage.

When I realized it, I was sitting on the seat in a human form.

That was still good, but there was a Leticia on the side and a cheek on the shoulder.

The golden eyelashes are lying on the ground, and there is a quiet sleep.

Glenn Reed pulled his gaze away as he almost stared at the defenseless sleeping face.

(Why is this happening...?)

I changed into a wolf figure, and I had a solid memory until I was stroked by Leticia.

After that, Leticia was walking across the boat, and I remembered that her head was wobbling back and forth.

As the wobble grew, I put it on my head to support it, and my memory was broken.

(Does that mean you fell asleep to me?)

For now, I have been busy and feelings of fatigue have accumulated.

By becoming a wolf and becoming less rational, he could no longer resist drowsiness.

While he was asleep, he returned to the human figure and seemed to be still in his present state.

(... there are unusual things)

The change from a wolf to a person or from a person to a wolf during sleep was not unusual in itself.

The reason for this is that it is only natural to be unable to control change when reason is asleep.

But that's why things like this were impossible.

(I haven't slept in front of anyone in years...)

If you accidentally fall asleep in public and are seen to change, it's important.

No matter how tired you are, even before the heartless Melvin who knows about change.

Glenn Reed hadn't slept with anyone for over a decade.

"... because it's Leticia, right?"

Glenn Reed snorted unexpectedly.

Because I didn't want to wake Leticia.

(He seemed to be busy preparing for the trip.)

Even though he looked healthy, he must have been tired.

The body on her shoulder was warm, much lighter and more lavish than Glenn Reed.

(...... don't worry)

I could turn away from her sleeping face, but I couldn't ignore the sweet scent that came from her.

At first, I felt that the scent was different, but now I feel that it is sweet and inviting everywhere.

When I noticed, my fingers were scrubbing my golden hair.

Her fingers slipped off her hair like golden sand to her slightly red, soft cheeks.

He stroked the outline of his cheeks and stretched his fingers to his lips.

"Giro..."

Like cold water, Glenn Reed was stiff.

(What are you doing, I......)

A person without consciousness, and stroking a woman's face are not praised deeds.

It was no exception if the opponent was Leticia, her own queen.

It's only a political relationship, and above all, she has other people in her mind.

(Gilo......)

Glenn Reed heard Leticia mumbling her name several times when she was a wolf.

Love seemed odious, and yet it seemed pathetic.

Glenn Reed could not forget his impatient voice.

(I naturally had to look into her surroundings to welcome Leticia to the queen....)

Even after looking back at the survey results, I didn't find any shards of the human named Gilo, so Glenn Reed realized it.

A lovely opponent unknown to the public.

It must be a secret lover, or someone else.

It is a love that is so lovely that it is not blessed, but it is therefore a sad voice, and it has mumbled the name of the opponent.

Leticia was once the fiancé of Prince Fritz.

Having a romantic feeling for another man would not make it public, and no rumors of that kind of pornography had actually been found around her.

Glenn Reed knew the name Giro because Leticia murmured when she thought Gu was just a wolf.

There must have been a place nearby where Leticia wouldn't have called Giro by name.

She was thoroughly successful in concealing her love for her surroundings.

The name Giro is probably not the real name, and it is natural to think that people are calling it by nicknames or something so that they won't find out if others hear it.

I hear that love doesn't go away easily, even though I know it won't be tied or rewarded.

Glenn Reed himself felt painful, and he didn't feel like blaming Leticia.

(Due to Leticia's personality, it's hard to think of making a lover besides her fiancée. I was just secretly in love, and I kept thinking about it.....)

Far from home, even after marriage.

Glenn Reed realized that there was still a man he cared about.

That cold, hot, scorching feeling.

The flames of jealousy rose to Glenn Reed's chest, sometimes burning.

(The man nicknamed Giro, the one who caught Leticia's heart, must be a completely different person than me.)

Glenn Reed thought so, with a burning feeling and a cold head.

Leticia stares at the Beast Knight Keith several times and murmurs the name Giro.

Perhaps something about Keith resembled a giro, stimulated his emotions, mumbled his thoughts, and faded away.

Keith was bright, emotional, and lively.

Glenn Reed, who could not be called cheerful with a small number of mouths and had a stiff expression, was a good opposite person.

(People like me say that Leticia is not the subject of romantic feelings......)

When I noticed that, my burning jealousy had turned into a frozen flame that slashed through me.

Glenn Reed's nose was special because it was the ancestor of the Wolf's Holy Beast.

I was able to smell the human mind, spirit, or what is called the soul.

It was possible to infer to some extent what emotions the hand held.

So I know. I know.

Leticia is in favor of Glenn Reed.

However, I understood that the favor was not romantic, even if I didn't like it.

(There's really nothing I can do about this....)

In a way, it's still better to be hated,

If the cause of disgust is ignorance or misunderstanding, there is a possibility that it will turn into favor after improvement.

However, Leticia has a favorable opinion of Glenn Reed, and she also has exchanges such as enjoying a meal together.

On top of that, I can only say that there are no romantic feelings.

……

Letititia slept with Glenn Reed.

She knew that Glenn Reed wasn't the one she was in love with, but the scent of Leticia was so different and sweet that she couldn't help but be attracted.

Even now, if I lose my mind, I will touch my body and almost cuddle.

(It's a bad thing to say "heart"......)

Glenn Reed sighed.

If you can't control your mind and your body moves, you'll have to suppress it with something else.

Glenn Reed decided to try not to let her feelings run rampant and touch Leticia.
