The day after I became an adult.
I received a letter from Leon.
He remembered me saying I wanted Leon's letter.
I lived in the same house, so I didn't mind handing it over, but it seems that I arranged for it to reach my home from the Duke of Paulford's house.
There's a word in the letter--
Spend some time with me in the future
It was only written that.
I looked at the bouquet of red roses that I had received along with the letter, smiling bitterly that it was really Leon.
The word for the red rose flower is' love '.
What kind of face did Leon make when he chose the paper?
Marie is laughing and giggling.
The envelope is a common white envelope, but the note is a cute note with the edge of the hammer.
I think you chose it with a serious face.
And it must have attracted the attention of the women around it. That's not funny.
It's the left side, isn't it?
Marie smiles giggling again as she brings the rose flowers into the vase.
"Marie, can you use those roses to make a sachet?"
"I understand." But, young lady, if you want to be remembered, why don't you stop the time so the roses don't wither? ”
That's possible for me to use [Space Magic].
I see. Shall I put it away in a few spaces?
Tag it with today's date and keep it as a souvenir forever.
“Without doing that, I'll give you any roses every day if Rio wants.”
Leon, with a dazed face, suddenly entered the room and sat next to me.
I remember what happened yesterday as I enjoyed the furry appearance of my fur after a long time.
Why did Charlotte hate me so much?
She said that she had dreamed of becoming a princess and marrying the prince.
I am a higher nobleman than she, but not a princess.
Didn't you like the fact that His Royal Highness favoured me?
Was that supposed to be something I hated enough to want to kill?
Even so, Charlotte's thoughts were incomprehensible.
"Rio, what's so difficult about your face? There's a crease between your eyebrows."
"I was wondering why Charlotte hated me so much that she wanted to kill me."
She was pointed out to have wrinkles and rubbed her eyebrows.
"Rio is the god of creation, and the presence of God is an abomination to the Campbells. Did the blood of the Campbells make her do that? Or was it her will? I don't know now."
That's right.
Leon jumps on my shoulder and scrapes his cheeks.
"It's all over. Forget it."
Yeah.
You won't be able to forget it right away.
But eventually, my memories faded.
"Besides, tonight is the evening when they are celebrating a feast." Why don't you rest while you're at it? "
They are the gods.
When we returned close to dawn, we were exhausted and slept until close to noon, completely forgetting about the feast.
The alcoholic gods were waiting to prepare the feast, so they were disappointed.
I'm going to have a feast at home tonight to apologize.
"Hey, Leon, I'm a grown-up, and I want to drink."
“Hmm. I chose to drink for Rio because I thought so.”
It seems that he chose an easy-to-drink alcohol for people who drink alcohol for the first time.
"I'm looking forward to it."
Night...
"What is Charlotte! I am the bride of God! kihaha....."
"When Rio drinks, he becomes a laughing stock, right?"
"... it seems so. I chose a liquor that wasn't very alcoholic..."
I don't remember drinking alcohol, but it seems that Leon and Flair mumbled and regretted that they made me drink alcohol.
Until he got drunk, he got involved with other gods and went on a rampage.
It goes without saying that the next day I was hungover.
A month after the turmoil at the Royal Palace Ball...
The verdict of Baron Campbell was handed down.
The Chamber of Commerce, run by the Baron of Campbells, imported prohibited poisons, which, although unsuccessful, were found guilty of being used in the assassination.
There are many other residual crimes, and the Baron of Campbell has forfeited his title and forfeited his property. The Baron was to be sent to the mines as a forced labourer.
When Baroness Campbell found out that she was not involved in her husband's work, she dissociated herself from him and went home.
Another month after Baron Campbell's verdict--
Charlotte's verdict was handed down.
Charlotte activated an unknown Fascinating Skill to enchant Her Royal Highness, Prince Richard. It could have led to the shaking of the nation.
And trying to kill me at the Royal Ball is a felony.
A public execution was demanded on the head restraint platform, but because it was abolished, it was decided to send him to the underground prison.
During the trial, Charlotte's eyes mumbled words that she could not understand.
If you're sent to an underground prison, you'll spend the rest of your life there. It means essentially death.
His Highness Richard did not return to the Magic Academy, but moved to the Duke of Lioness. He says he will spend his life restoring withered land.
"Leon, are you not going to bless the Duke of Lioness?"
If Chris were to succeed the Duke of Lioness, I would have blessed him, but not that kid.
It seems that he hasn't forgiven His Highness Richard yet.
"However, if the boy changes his mind and works hard for the people, he can't help but think about it." There's no sin on the territory. "
It seemed that Leon was also thinking about it.
That's right. Give him a blessing as soon as possible.
And today, it's Chris's [Ritual of the Stand].
The future queen will be a rising star, so it is very busy with festivals throughout the capital.
In addition, as the Queen's husband, Chris had a fiancé.
The fiancé is...
"It's my dad. He's using me as a bodyguard! What's become a" bridge between the two countries "?"
It was Mr. Toggleau. "Well, I was expecting it..."
“Well, isn't that a good idea? If this calms your hips, your shoulders will be loaded. Ah! Don't worry, Atsushi will remain in this country."
You're staying!
I'm glad that Mr. Tojurho and Mr. Kikuno will stay in this country.
"I'm also unwilling." I'm more worried about the future of Tojuru than about the future. "
Before the start of the "Ritual of the Candlestick", Chris, who was visiting our cabin, complained of a rash.
"That's my line!" I never thought I'd have to take care of a stupid horse like this. "
What are you talking about!?
I hate each other, but I think it's going to work out surprisingly well.
"Yurie and Leon will also be having their engagement ceremony soon." Congratulations. "
"Thank you, Kikuno-sama." Please attend the ceremony. "
“Of course, but is Leon going to be an aristocrat?”
I'm going to get a job at the Magic Court after graduating from the Magic Academy. It would be bad for the husband to be unemployed, so Leon decided to succeed him as Count of Lancaster.
“Just shape. I'm always with Rio. Count Lancaster Territory is the territory next to the Marquis of Grandors. Let's pretend that it will be developed gradually."
I was eager to solve it with magic.
"I see. Hikaru." Isn't it time you and Chris went back to the venue? Please don't be nervous and make a mistake. It will be a disgrace to my country. "
Shut up!
Mr. Tojurho escorted Chris back to the venue where the ceremony would take place, even though he didn't like the wind.
"Are we going to the Great Hall?"
Yeah.
I tangled my hands around Leon's arm.
Formally dressed, Chris is majestic and admirable.
"Ugh. Chris is nice. I hope you're happy."
"This isn't Chris's wedding."
Leon offered me a handkerchief with a bitter smile.
Mr. Tojurho was doing Chris's escort without any hesitation.
The black-haired Mr. Tojurho and the blond-haired Chris are unexpected pictures. Beautiful man. Beautiful woman.
Chris thumbs up as he finds me on the throne.
I also put my thumb up quickly.
Let's be happy with the people we love.
After graduating from the Magic Academy, I returned to the Marquis of Grandeur to attend oniisama's wedding.
Oniisama and Toria's ceremony was grand, and the festival lasted three days and three nights.
"Ugh. Toria, you look beautiful." I hope you're happy. "
"Whoever gets married, you cry."
Place the handkerchief offered in front of you.
"It's nice to make people happy."
"Hey, onee-sama, when will you have your wedding?"
May pulls on my skirt.
Mei, who was seven years old, was even taller, and even if she subtracted her own greed, she was a beautiful girl. In the future, you'll be an incredible beauty.
"Huh!? Um... maybe after a little more calm?"
I'm going to get a job at the magic courtyard.
Since I was assigned to the environmental department, I am going to fly around various places.
Of course, Leon would come with me.
Hmmm...
Mei's eyes seemed to be looking good.
The wedding with Leon will be a long time after the ground has hardened.
The next day, Leon and I went for a walk in the nostalgic forest.
Marie invited me too, but I didn't see her early in the morning because she was in a hurry.
"Leon, I want to rebuild the old Grandeur's castle." Do you mind? "
"That castle belongs to Rio originally. You can do whatever you want."
I was reluctant when I was little.
Leon turned sideways as I grinned.
Oh, that's because Rio was still lacking in strength.
"What is a lack of ability?" He praised me for using magic power so well. "
"I mean, for a child."
At a young age, did I not appear to Leon as a "loved one"?
"I'm shocked. Shall I stop talking to Leon today?"
"That kind of grumbling is no different than when I was a child."
Her cheeks swelled unknowingly. I'm sure they'll call me a child for this kind of work.
I could see the castle of Old Grundl.
Even if it was to be rebuilt, the magic would only bring the castle back to where it used to be.
Well, shall we do it?
I wiggle my arms and put my temper into it.
Lady! Master Leon! Please come quickly.
"Oh, Marie?"
I thought you said you needed something urgent. Are you done with your errands?
If you look closely, not only Marie, but also Laura. They both looked like they couldn't wait.
"Our Lady is here." Come on, hurry up! "
Marie pulled her into the castle ruins.
"Leon, you're here."
Leon was pulled by Laura in the opposite direction.
"Oh, my God! Let me go, Laura. Rio!"
Leon!
What are you going to do?
Without knowing the reason, Marie pulled me in, and there was something like a room in the ruins of the castle.
Is there a room like this on the ruins of this castle?
"I've taken the young lady with me." Let's get started! "
In the simple room, Mother, Mei, and Toria waited.
"Now, let's put on your hair and makeup first." Leo, sit down. "
The mother slammed the chair in front of the mirror.
Huh! What starts?
"Just shut up for a while."
They quickly apply makeup and tie up their hair.
Marie's dress finally swallowed the situation.
"Is that... a wedding dress?"
Large rose corsage on the chest. A luxurious lace pure white dress with stitched gems.
The clean mermaid line dress is Sand Lyon by design.
Speaking of which, when I grew up, Laura came here to measure the size, but this is what happened.
When I change into my wedding dress, Marie puts a veil on the finish.
"Rio. Take this."
The mother took out the ring from the ring of her right hand and fitting it to my ring finger.
"This was inherited from my mother, your grandmother."
"What's so important about this? Not available."
Mother gently puts her hand on my cheek.
"It's okay. This has been passed down from generation to generation." It's a gift from my mother when my daughter gets married. Is this enough for the old stuff, Toria? "
"Yes, mother-in-law." Now it's May's turn. "
"Yes, Toria, my sister-in-law. Rio, this is a gift from me. Something new."
May offers a white handkerchief. Rose flowers are embroidered on the handkerchief with white thread.
Did May stab you with this?
Whilst your mother is teaching you, there are some things that have failed in some places.
Mei's tongue fluttered.
However, it can be seen that each needle and needle is carefully pricked.
If you're this good at seven years old, you'll be quite a master in the future.
"That's not true." Wow, Mae. "
"This is from me." I borrowed something. "
Tria puts earrings on my ears.
Could it be, Sam Thing Four?
Triya nods and holds my hand.
"Do you remember what I told you when I was a student? I want to wear Sam Thing Four and go to my daughter-in-law."
I nodded, remembering that Chris, Toria and Angel were talking to each other like that.
Thumbsing Four is a jinx in which the bride is happy when she wears four things: something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.
Triya had a real fight with Onii-sama at the ceremony.
"Does Toria know about me?"
“Yes, I asked Master Zeke. I was surprised, but I was wondering if there was something going on."
Not only Toria, but Angel also seemed to have noticed something.
"I thought I'd have to talk to Tria and Angel one day."
"Whatever you are, it doesn't change that you are my best friend and sister-in-law." Please continue to get along with me. "
My chest warmed up and I clenched Triya's hand back.
"Yes, of course."
"Ah! I'll just lend you those earrings."
"I know, I know, I know."
I smile bitterly because Tria is in a hurry.
“Well, I'm the last one to get the blue one.”
Marie gave me the bouquet. Roses on white Casablanca. And the blue flower.
"This is a bluestar."
It is a flower used as a thumbing blue for weddings. This flower in the shape of a star is said to be "a flower that calls for happiness".
"Yes, the flower words are 'Happy Love' and 'Heart to Believe'. It's the perfect flower for you and Leon."
I am filled with joy.
"Mother, May, Tolia, Marie. Thank you, everyone."
"Come on, Leon is waiting for you." Let's go. "
The area thought to be the courtyard of the castle ruins was arranged and gardens were made.
Probably made for the wedding venue in haste.
Father awaits in front of the red carpet that seems to be Virgin Road.
Leon was already waiting on the podium.
"Rio, it's beautiful. Oh, I don't want to do it to my daughter-in-law."
My father has already started crying.
"Milord, please be firm." Please take Rio under Leon. "
"I know, Ellie."
Walk along the Virgin Road with your father in your arms.
There is a loved one waiting for you.
How long have you dreamed of this day coming?
Leon, with a gentle smile, held out his hand on the podium.
“Catliona Yurie Grandeur, do you swear to love Leon the god of the forest forever as your husband?”
"Yes, I swear."
Leon. For you.
Eternal love.
Cristina, who is heavily guarded by the gods, was named one of the greatest names in the history of the Kingdom of Windaria.
It is a myth that it was the king who helped the queen, but it is said that there were some collaborators behind it. One of them was a certain countess, a close friend of the queen.
It is said in the narrative that she was God, but it is not certain.
