The Evil Queen’s Beautiful Principles

Puppet Princess and Disease

I was in the study in the middle of the night.

There was only one person inside, sitting on the window frame looking out the window.

The window is covered with dark books, and you can't see the view at all.

Instead, it reflected itself in an unconventional figure.

"... excuse me."

"Oh... is it a gentleman's preference to visit a lady's room at midnight like this? Mahogaard Sensei"

Teacher Mahogard smiles bitterly at my chill.

"Let's hurry up and report that Brian's solicitation went well. Besides, you wouldn't be asleep at this hour."

"I said I'd report it, but I said I'd report it myself."

It was Tommy who appeared behind Dr. Mahogaard in disguise as a maid.

With that appearance, a slight smile leaks.

"That's what it looks like.... did you pay attention to the rest of the scandal?"

It turns out that only two people who know me, not the doll princess, are here, so I'm going to change my tone.

"... thank you. What did he look like?

"You're doing your best. Just as you expected. I was invited to a study group from today, but I've been able to answer questions until this time."

"So, this time. Fufufu... I'm looking forward to it."

I looked at them from the window.

"Great bureaucrats are gathering under Gilbert. And by exchanging opinions with them, new proposals are being worked out.... it's so wonderful."

"That's what I was trying to do, Luceria, like no other.... I'm basically a no-hands doctrine, except for what I've been instructed to do and what it has to do with it."

"That's not true. They are doing well. Ah... Speaking of which, are you ready for the Work Experience?

"Yes, of course. Everything is ready in collaboration with the teacher. You and your students will be able to meet in a way that allows them to get mixed up in a public schedule.... but what's in it for you to reveal yourself now?

"Now...? Rather, it is too late. Thinking about the future, I'd like to talk to Gilbert's students as soon as possible without wearing the doll princess mask."

Is it the left side? But... it's certainly a relaxing schedule for a work experience two months before you took the throne. "

"I can't help it. It's customary... I didn't expect the throne to be vacant for a long time, but it's probably the late one. I can't help but change it all of a sudden."

"Indeed, it is unnatural for the doll princess to suddenly become interested in national politics.... or Luceria. Don't you look pale?

"I thought the same thing."

The two words gave me no laughter.

It was only for a moment, so I thought you wouldn't notice.

Not just him, but Gilbert too.

"... uhh"

I hold my mouth and shrink on the spot.

"Are you okay!? Dear Luceria,"

"... don't make a scene, Gilbert. It's okay."

He turned his hand to control Gilbert as he approached.

"... I knew you were sick. When we showed up, we sat in the window frame. I don't think that Luxeria, who cares about her dignity, would show such bad behavior."

While saying that, Tommy brought a water bottle and a cup from his private room and then a hand wipe.

"... are you okay?

"Mmm, I'm fine. It will heal in time."

"... Master Luxeria, you're strangely used to it. How long has this been going on?

"... come on. I forgot when it started."

I soothed my breath while laughing without strength.

I don't have the energy to drink water, so I just take a hand wipe and press it against my mouth.

I coughed as much as I could.

"Who else do you know?

"... I don't know."

"... please take care of yourself, Luxeria. What do you think would happen to this country without Luceria?

"... it's touching to think more about this country."

"Don't tear it up."

It clouds my face and really worries me from the bottom of my heart.

Gilbert, who was beside him, had the same look as Tommy.

"... it's okay. I'm just a little lazy. Fufufu... you're the only one who's afraid of heavy responsibility."

... I'm not lying.

Given the weight of the lives of the people who bear the responsibility of national government, and the weight of the lives that I will take by acting from now on, it is true that my stomach will get heavy.

"Both of you, get out.... it's okay, you'll get better when you go to bed."

... but that's not the cause of my symptoms.

Missing magic circuit.

After all, after saving Alicia a long time ago, it never fully healed.

You can use magic, but if you use it, that's it.

If I hadn't used magic until I was an adult, it would have healed naturally... but I ended up using it many times before I was an adult.

For example, it's time to defeat those who came here to assassinate Tommy.

For example, it's time to draw people into my faction, led by Gilbert.

Though I didn't ruin my treasure sword on the boulder, the use of the stacked heartbeat certainly corroded my body.

"But...."

"Really, I'm fine. I'm sure you're just getting nervous before the wedding. If the wedding continues... I can see a doctor properly."

But they can't understand the truth.

The plan is to use the power of the treasure sword.

If they knew the truth, they would be kind enough to oppose the use of treasure swords.

But I'm not going to stop.

I can't let them get in the way.

It's best to keep quiet so they can help.

"... I see. But even before the wedding, if we see a seizure right now, we'll get a doctor right away."

Hmm.

She turned her eyes to Tommy, who agreed.

"It would be more troublesome if I didn't even have the condition of 'taking you to a doctor'. If you're a teacher, you know Luxeria's stubbornness.

"... I see. Master Luxeria, please be careful with your body."

So I quietly escorted the two of them who were leaving sparingly.

After they are completely invisible, I turn my eyes to the window.

... good.

Now they realize they're sick.

From now on, even if I see you feeling sick... you'll probably think you have the same symptoms as you do now.

With that in mind, I've been staring at the dark world.
