The Inner Palace Tale of a Villainess Noble Girl

The following night, Exiga glimpsed a secret meeting between Diana and a maid.

... are you here?

Under Exiga, who secretly went down to the garden under his room, there was no sound and a dark shadow came down.

In the darkness, the shadow stood up slowly without showing the whole thing.

Why do humans in this country look the best? Don't you think it makes no sense to call someone because you want to talk to them and let them find out in that call letter?

The most reckless and unrelenting complaint ever came from the opening, and it hit me with a rugged ball.

Samba, who has worked for many years as a servant and assistant at Exiga, has excelled in research and documentation techniques.

Not to mention that this "investigation" is a backdrop to what is written in public documents. To that extent, a half-day would have been enough for Samba.

"The maid you saw was named Karin. He is one of the maids employed by the Royal Palace of Elgrand, and he was chosen to be part of this National Mission."

"I mean... a real maid?

"Well, on paper.... but personally, I feel a little uncomfortable."

Feeling uncomfortable?

"These maids, other than Karin, were originally serving the Princess of the Red Rose in the Kingdom of Elland. The maid who is fluent in Stanza... Rita is not the only maid in the royal palace, but she was accompanied as a princess by the Count of Crester, who was recognized as a member of the National Embassy by becoming an identity sponsor."

"That night... the strong eyes of the maid who stood in front of Exiga came back. She confronted Exiga with eyes that reflected her determination to protect Diana at the risk of her life and existence. She must have been close to Diana for a long time. For Rita, Diana is not the Lord given to her by the royal palace, but the only one of her own choosing.

― ― Samba's explanation continues even as Exiga expresses her thoughts in the past.

"Some people are not maids, but also royal palace maids who served the princess in the Kingdom. I didn't spend as much time with the princess as the maids, but I've seen her face several times."

Really?

"However... only this" Karin "maid, if you think about it, I don't remember seeing it in the Kingdom of Elgrand. Of course, I did not make it a condition that the members of the National Embassy be limited to those involved in the" Red Rose Room ", and there is no such explanation from the Kingdom of Elland, so there is no problem even if we are accompanied by a maid we do not know."

"Yes, of course. Isn't it just that we didn't refrain from meeting the princess?

"Even after coming to the Stanza Empire, Karin was a maid who rarely appeared before us. I have never accompanied Princess Ifthane on her visit... and I have looked into the biographies of the members of the National Embassy prepared by the Kingdom."

That's what Samba said in her resume.

"This is....."

"Isn't it uncomfortable?

"Ahh... the contents are thinner than others"

"The family name is the same as the others, but there is only" distant Marquis Magnum "in the affiliation column, and there is no notable work history in the Royal Palace of Elgrand. Even the day of hiring is ambiguous with" the other day ". Other people's content is not always dark, but it still contains a brief history of travel."

"When I read it again... it seems that it was made with a perfect balance so as not to float only Karin's paperwork, rather than the thinness of his biography."

"I felt the same way. In other words, Karin wanted to be accompanied by such troublesome impression manipulation."

"... no protest was heard from anywhere against the 'terms' of the Elland mission, even though they said they despised our kingdom. Is it because the Kingdom of Elland hid a" trump card "that could clear its" conditions "?

"That's what I think."

The more you know, the more ridiculous the Stanza mission in the Kingdom of Elland will be. Though something unexpected happened, I thought that things were proceeding as expected, but in fact, I was only dancing on the palm of the Kingdom of Elland, no matter where I went.

Again, understand. - The Kingdom of Elland is by no means a country with zero sense of crisis in peace.

His country is just... It's as intimate as it gets.

"... what do you want, Your Highness?

Samba asked the thoughtful Exiga gently. For a moment, close your eyes... and Exiga hardens her resolve.

"I want to talk to you. Who is Karin really? What is your relationship with the princess?"

"... will you accept?

"If the identity of" Karin "is as we assume, it will be a weakness for the Elgrand side. If you poke at it, you'll have to respond."

"Your Highness is still a liar because of her gender?

"I'm not sure. The gaze and the signs will not belong to a woman.

"That would be a violation of the bilateral agreement."

"Ah, if you put it up in a letter, you'll answer the call. --That said, whoever wrote it would have a horny content. Do you mind if I connect you to the Elgrand Mission?

"I understand."

The letter I wrote tells her to smell that she knows the identity of the maid, Karin, and to come to a designated place this evening so that no one knows her.

No, seriously, the moment I read it, my eyes became a point. Mia-san handed it to me with a strange face, so I thought it might be a little impossible in our common sense, but it was unlikely to exceed our expectations.

Despite being summoned to the letter, he appeared exposing the "weakness" of his identity without hesitation. "He" threw a word of frustration without hesitating to the imperial exhiga. Rather than content, even wording is zero concern for identity.

With the gesture of Samba, angry with so much rudeness, Exiga takes a step forward.

... are you "Karin"?

That's right. "Nice to meet you."

... this is how he appeared as a man. Think of it as a manifestation of will to admit who you are, right?

The figure of "Karin" is hidden in the dark and doesn't look good, but there is no doubt that it is a man's costume and good way of moving.... to be honest, I can hardly believe that the man in front of me is the same person as the "Karin" I saw from afar yesterday.

When Exiga stepped in, the man smiled a little.

Admit it, nothing. Neither I nor the people of the Kingdom of Elgrand have ever said "Karin" to be a woman?

What, to the police?

There is no gender field in the maid's resume, and I don't remember being asked directly about my gender.

It's like that... because I'm a maid, the gender must be a woman!

Maybe so in the Stanza Empire. At least in the Kingdom of Elgrand, there's no saying, "Men shouldn't be maids." Neither the law nor the Royal Palace Code says a word. ― ― Karin may be a man or a woman, but I won't get hurt.

Your open mouth won't be blocked by this ridiculous trick. It is only a matter of course that men do not apply for the position of samurai "lady". It is never good for men to be maids, and it is only natural that they are limited to women even if they do not write, even if they are not written in the law or the Royal Palace Code. I didn't expect you to take that implicit understanding backwards and make such a grand crossword.

I don't know. On the contrary, why do you think people in the kingdom let women go alone in an exotic country where they can honestly not predict what will happen? The members of the Elgrand Embassy are all talented people who are certainly no match for men, but there is nothing we can do if we are pushed by numbers and strength. "If you don't like it, you can kill it." If you're going to the Stanza Empire, you'll need to be in charge of extra strength when you need it. I couldn't think of anything like that, and thought that the kingdom had obeyed the Empire with all its promises, it was just too brilliant and stupid about the Elland Kingdom.

Without a gap, Exiga's arrogant self-consciousness, which had enlarged unconsciously, would be crushed.

... yes. After all, Exiga has always despised the Kingdom of Elgrand somewhere in her heart. Diana was very special, but I didn't see the king or many other talented people. If we had recognized the people of the Kingdom of Elland as equal from the outset and faced them sincerely and honestly, we would have seen them properly.

The letter of this call is the same thing. Within you, the Kingdom of Elland is still "inferior," so I can write this out of context.

... out of the way?

If the Kingdom of Elland finds out, it will not send a "trump card" in a way that will make her weak. I don't know that either, so I said, "I know who Karin is. If you don't want to be torn apart, come talk to me." I really want to know who I am and what kind of relationship I have with her, and I can't wait to talk to you. --I didn't expect you to force yourself to listen to what you have to say during this period. Mia, who read the letter in the first place, and the other maids who read it in circles, when this happens, it seems that only people who don't know that I'm asking you to lower their heads are so pathetic... "

I wonder if the correct argument that doesn't make a sound is a word for these times. A lowly heart in myself who was not aware of it, a weakness who fled to "threaten" without trying to face the other person honestly, a foolish pride of not wanting to "ask" a low-status opponent, a foolish pride of not wanting to lower his head, and shame sprang up when the cylinder came out. Without even making a sound, Exhiga can only be knocked down.

In such an exhiga, a man just looks cold.

Well, honestly, I don't care how sorry you are, or how bad you are. The lower your stock, the less the woman you fall in love with. That's all you need to know.

Nah...

... from there? Seriously, what happened to the interpersonal basic education of this country's royalty? --If you make a fool of yourself, you'll say, "My daughter who was fallen in love with that bastard will also be pathetic." Normally. Some people still look good if they're sympathetic, and say, "Because I like him so much, women aren't such a big deal."

It is a point that emerges from confronting Exiga not as a royal family but as a single "human being" that has never been said before.... if you are making ordinary remarks, those who think that they are "pathetic" about engaging with the royal family and being liked are a minority, but that's why the words to Exiga herself who took away her identity are stung. In short, being respected by the royal family is like saying that "Exiga" only has the humanity to underestimate the surroundings involved.

― ― The tone of the words is light, but the contents are extremely heavy and sharp. I didn't know there was such a cut-off man by Diana's side all along.

So much so.....

-What?

So angry with me. If there's nothing wrong with revealing who you are. Why did you come here?

... you called me to talk, right? If you didn't, it's unreasonable for me to take my feet and complain.

It's not a complaint, it's simply a question. Don't you think I'm a prince?

Well, in a sense, I guess. I thought it was time to talk to the great people of this country. Interested in the rest? I wondered what it was like to call you so desperately.

... he's a mean man. Weren't you expecting without telling me?

It's not true that expectations and realities are different. --But as far as I can see, it doesn't seem to be unexpected.

The moment the man laughs ironically, a strong wind blows through. It seems that the clouds above the sky were also flowing together, and the moon, which had been hidden until now, emitted a clear light to the world.

All you wanted to talk to me about was, "Me."

Lighted by the moonlight, the darkness clears up.

The presence that had been wrapped in darkness until now also revealed its whole face by the moonlight that shined.

It has dark eyes, unusual for Elgrands, on the white skin that looks like Elgrands.

The country is so beautiful and well dressed that it has to admire it differently.

It was time to take off the boy's realm and get into adolescence, a man in black.

... who are you?

Can you ask me a few more specific questions? What do you want to know about me? Name?... or position?

Both.

Well, that's right. --You already know that you have no reason to answer my questions, right?

... I know. But I want to know. --Can you tell me?

Though he didn't lower his head, the man stared at Exhiga with his emotionally unreadable eyes from the front and made a full plea.

... well, if I don't know how you feel, I won't be able to fit in.

Quiet, deep and breathtaking.

─ ─ I'm sorry for listening to you seriously. I don't have any answers for you.

Nah...

No, I don't mean I don't want to talk about it. Seriously, just hold it.

What do you mean?

Regarding the name, it's called Kai. It's the name given to me by my parents, and I'm going to give it my real name, but it's a mystery whether I can publicly say "official name" because it's not listed anywhere.

It's not listed anywhere....?

Neither I nor my raising parents have Elgrand nationality. Not even an Elgrand in that sense. --That's why there's nothing to stand for.

I lost my words in the unexpected man's response. Since King Elgrand is enough to escort Diana, I imagined that he would be a soldier in the royal palace even if he did not have a position, but the reality is more diagonal.... I can't believe it was "not even a paper job title".

But then why?

Why, with the princess, where...

About the encounter? --Simply because she was the "target" of my work.

What, for each?

Well, the so-called undercover business. Crime contractor in general?

What...?

There is no way that people who are not registered in the country can do real work in the sunny world. That said, most of the backworkers in the Kingdom of Elland, whether settled or nomadic, are registered on some land. Many people use the front and back faces separately.

Such a human being. How did you meet the princess of the aristocracy?

I told you earlier. As I was hired by someone hostile to her and wandering around as an information-gatherer, I saw her face to face for the first time. --And I was tied to the humanity of that daughter, and I cut my hand against the hostile one, and I came to her side.

... you've been well forgiven and admitted.

... do you think that girl won't forgive me? From the very beginning - from the very moment I met you as an "enemy". My existence, my reasons for action, my life. Admit it all, forgive me, wrap it up.

Slowly spinning words, the eyes of a man named Kai had a love overflowing. --Only the moment we talked about Diana, her eyes sparkled like the starry sky.

That's why... you loved me? She wrapped me up.

It made me interested, but I didn't like her because she was extraordinarily popular

The question, which contained the intention to ask implicitly, "I just wanted to keep a convenient woman with me," was cut off and denied along the way.... surprisingly well guess.

Rather, I only have a feeling of struggling with the nature of caring about myself and other people for the rest of my life. It would be easier for me to protect myself if I lived on my own terms.

... then you should choose a woman that is easy to protect. If you were me, you'd find out.

Well, sometimes I'm told, but I don't have such a thing. There are quite a few acquaintances of a woman who is close to her age, but she has never had a colorful atmosphere. I had zero romantic experiences until I met her.

Well, that's good. Thought you might be more afraid of such a noble man?

It is also said from everywhere. --I just got caught up in it, such as my own preferences, a mismatch of hope for the other party, etc.... identity. What's it gonna do to stop thinking about it?

I'm going to shoot straight through here, with those eyes. It is filled with thoughts and thoughts that are horribly clear and unmixed.

Guided by his "thoughts", he spins words without starvation.

Love, love. I can't do anything on my own. Once it falls, it's nothing, it just sinks into depth. It is common to talk about an ideal type and a woman who actually falls in love as if she were different, and if she "likes" because the other person will be as she wants, I think it will be domination rather than love. --It's the most meaningless thing about identity. I don't care about the person, and if anything, I'll come down to Futu. Sometimes I think it's "distant" when I'm doing "Red Rose", but even if the water in the "Thoughts" swamp gets a little bitter, it won't die.

... ahh. I have to admit it.

This man's thoughts are real. I'm really in love with Diana from the bottom of my heart, with all my soul. - I love her.

Still... it is certain that there are two things that spring from acknowledging the "thoughts".

Holding his fist tightly, Exiga looked at the man in front of her with strong feelings similar to hatred.

... that's it.

-What?

If that's all, think of the princess. - Why did you choose to take my hand?

……

Exceptionally clever men would have guessed what Exiga wanted to say with just a short question. He erases his emotions and looks back at us with his gaze.

The silence was rejected, stirring up what Exiga was smoking.

You must have noticed. There's only one thought that you can give to the princess. Without a name recognized by the country, there is no position... it is obvious that there is not even property in such a way.

... you must be poor.

What can such a man do next to the princess? Neither can I protect the princess from my own position, nor can I promise a life free of any inconvenience. - No, on the contrary, taking a public "unnamed" hand is tantamount to abandoning the princess's own position.

――……

I can only take it from the princess. There's no way a man like you... deserves a princess.

In front of a man with unchanging expressions, Exiga's breathing doesn't stop. From one to the next, it's overflowing.

If I were you, I would be able to fulfill the princess's wishes on top of that without letting her throw away anything. Everything that the princess wants to protect, whether it's a way of living or a way of life, has enough resources and power to make it happen without shortage.

... sure.

There is already an environment where you can satisfy a princess who is deeply motivated to learn. There is also an unbeatable desire to explore the Princess's intellectual desires!

The more words you repeat - the more you reveal the truth that you've been trapped in "no" for so long.

You don't deserve a princess who doesn't know where she is! Her "destiny" is mine!!

- From the moment I first found her in that courtyard.

All the time... all the time.

I felt it. I believed it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Even if that was just an illusion. Even if she knew that her heart belonged to the man who loved her deeply and that she was "fully happy", as she had repeated many times.

... I can't help thinking about it.

I wondered why it wasn't me. I'm sure I deserve her better.

Indeed, "destiny" shows her future and herself!!

- Is that all you want to say?

I didn't realize when I was lying down, and my calm voice came down from the front diagonally. With renewed vigilance, Exiga quickly raised her face.

Raise your face.

If it's all there, let me say it too... even if I don't have to say it again now, I know that a long time ago.

Nothing has changed in your expression or your voice. Definitely "something" is different from before, confronting the existence in front of you.

Even though he was supposed to be a human being, something in his heart trembled in fear of the "uninhabited".

Even if you don't tell me, I know from the moment I meet that I don't deserve Dee. Even if you lose your identity, you can't leave people suffering in front of you. I'm not consciously commensurate with what happens to a super popular Dee, but I'm not particularly interested. I'm not as knowledgeable as Dee, and... as you say, I don't have the financial resources or position to struggle with Dee. I suppose I deserve this from someone who's so full of complacency.

Ah ─

Really... just like you said. First of all, when you can't marry a decent girl, you don't deserve to be with a girl who has grown up happy and loved by her family. I can't even mention the wedding at the temple.

……

Even if there aren't many men who don't deserve Dee more than I do, I think if I look for a man who deserves Dee, I'll find him in that area. Including you.

While affirming the words of Exiga without a trace of doubt.

Men's eyes are filled with ever-dark light that is about to be inhaled.

I know all about it, and I chose to take Dee's hand.

From the front, eject Exiga.

It doesn't matter anymore. Maybe I don't deserve Dee, or "destiny." None of that has anything to do with the future.

Let's see...

Because Dee asked for me. Because he cried that he wanted me, and laughed happily at the promise of the "future" he made with me. - As long as Dee's happiness requires me, I won't let go. "

That being said, the man closed his eyes quietly.

Holding his palm, he slowly spins his words.

I got lost many times. Stop worrying.... I love and protect you until you die, but I thought if you wanted Dee to be happy, you shouldn't be thinking about yourself. I thought about what I could give Dee when the night came. I've been telling you for a long time that you shouldn't reach out if you really want Dee.

Yes, you did.

But...

Cut the words, and he opens his eyes again.

If such a misunderstanding or trouble in accordance with the common sense and the body of the world afflicts Dee, it is that person who is wrong. Being against the whole world makes me choose a way for Dee to laugh happily. If Dee wants me, wants a future to live with me, finds happiness and hope there, and laughs, then the world is the "right path" for me - there is nothing to hinder it, "I don't know what fate is, but it's only a barrier to break down."

Full of just deep love for Diana. I don't even doubt that I want Diana's happiness and live for it with a smile. Deep, heavy... it was intense love.

(I see.)

Suddenly, I understand. Reason why the Kingdom of Elgrand entrusted him with the "escort".

I'm sure it is. Because he - Kai - is there to protect Diana's "everything."

If Kai loves Deanna, who cares about her companions, she will protect the entire embassy so that Deanna won't be saddened by the lack of companions. Diana's smile will not be cloudy and her heart will be wrapped and healed.

... I don't have anything at all. Kai has already acquired something very big without realizing himself.

--A very large sword and shield of trust in the "Kingdom of Elland".

(Does King Elgrand... recognize the two of us?)

Knowing and acknowledging their thoughts, they did not spare any effort to accompany Khai. If the kingdom's summit had been recognized, there would not have been any paperwork.... even if I read it carefully, it doesn't mention a single lie, and there are signs that the inedible Prime Minister is involved.

(From the beginning... you didn't win against me.)

Strangely enough, I didn't feel the shock or the bitterness of seeing Diana and him yesterday. I can see things that I have never seen before, and I am more relieved than I thought that Diana has been taken care of by the Kingdom of Elland.

Although there is still pain and suffering that Diana could not feel. The reality that Diana certainly loved was more comforting than that. --It was something I could accept and affirm.

I'm sure sometime. Exiga's thoughts were transforming from a "love" that simply sought out the other person, to a "love" that most wanted the other person's own happiness.

--Break the long silence with a deep breath.

... if that's the case. Though there is nothing of your own, I will protect the princess from all suffering with one of you, and keep the princess happy with all your heart.

... after all, I'm the only one who can give it to Dee.

But the princess chose nothing else. - No one else loves you and doesn't want you to stop.... as long as I envy you.

Me too... I've always envied you.

Kai stared bitterly at Exiga, whose eyes turned round in response to an unexpected response.

No matter how much you think about it, I'm just a secret. When Dee fights in aristocracy, I can only protect him from invisibility. For Dee's "future", I can't tie myself to something, so I'm not lost or anxious to keep it secret... but I'm really just greedy about Dee. --Anytime, anywhere, without hesitation, you had a jealousy close to envy, maybe.

I see.

Slowly, slowly, chewing on Kai's words... Exiga also smiled bitterly.

It was a waste of time. - Each other.

That's what I'm talking about. Well, I can't help it. That's what love is all about.

With a smile on his face, Khai takes a step closer to Exiga.

Honestly, no matter how hard I try at this point in time, I can't love Prince Sama, but besides me, I don't hate you either. When I fell in love with Dee, I thought I'd have a certain look. When you were angry about Elgrand's king, about Dee being the head of a shaped side chamber, I knew how it felt. Unconsciously arrogant, selfish and excessively shy because of the royal family's birth, it seems to have enough flexibility to correct it immediately if you realize that it is out of line with the general public.

... I don't feel so complimented. I don't hear many compliments. Apparently, high stature is not necessarily good for you.

I guess this is all up to people. I think that "power" that allows others to listen without asking questions is easy to distort humans. I think that the "king" and the "emperor" and the "aristocracy" who are hereditary to that power are much more distorted than ordinary people.

... that's right. I won't deny it.

Exiga recognized her "distortion" through her involvement with Diana. --Born in distortion, she lost her mother because of that distortion and lived desperately to avoid being crushed by distortion.... If she realized, she was distorted herself. Without distortion, I couldn't stand it.

Stanza Imperial Palace, where people seek even the slightest power and rob each other of the emperor's favors... that place is precisely the root of the distortion.

... yes. "She", too.

In distortion....

Hmm?

It may be unimaginable pain for a true and straight person to live in distortion.... maybe it wasn't the distortion I wanted, it was just the distortion.

... what are you talking about?

It used to be just a moment before I was an adult. I was close to one of my daughters when I was living in a secluded courtyard in Harem. Active but not noisy, calm but strong... a girl like the spring sun "

Hmm? Side room or somebody?

There is no such thing. She was barely an adult. --At that time, I had difficulty breathing in my position, and it seemed like an implicit rule that we didn't interrogate each other about who she was... but when I was an adult, I came out of the backyard (Harlem) and found out that she was the daughter of an ex-husband brought by His Majesty's Princess Eliza Kuspero.

Kai's eyes are getting a little bigger.

Is that you, Vivian?

... after all, did the princess get involved? Is there anything I can do to hurt you?

Er…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Events in front of the building and in the rear palace (Harem) are strictly confidential and forbidden. No matter how you scratch your feet, you can't stand a door in the mouth of a human being, either inside or outside.... I've heard rumors, but I've heard his name many times.

Breathe deeply once, to exhale your bitter feelings.

When I knew her, when she first came to the rear house (Harlem), she was never a daughter as rumored. Whenever I heard rumors, I was half-concerned that I was really talking about her... but if the Imperial Palace was a distorted monster, I might not have lived unless it was distorted to fit where I lived. "

Well... perhaps the only person who really knows that is Vivian.

Either way. --I wonder if this country has to change before it distorts more people.

To do that, first.

… Tomorrow

Tomorrow? Anything?

The Lord's eminent ministers gathered in the morning for a final meeting to welcome the "Virgin" as the Queen of Stanza. So, with the opinion of all the ministers and the final permission of the temple, the Virgin is expected to be welcomed as the new Queen of Stanza.

Ah... I've been talking to you for days. Well, at a time when Dee's gender is a woman, it's a common development.

Aren't you angry?

Rather than being angry, it's better to be stupid. It doesn't change in any country that the Others who think they're great don't have any doubts about treating women as tools.

However…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… To return to the Kingdom of Elland, we will have to wage all-out war between the two countries.

That's troublesome. Hey, what happened to the bigamy stories?

... it seems that the people who saw and heard Elgrand as the Embassy of the Kingdom of Stanza wisely said that they could do something about it. The Kingdom of Elland is monogamous and the side room is nothing but a mistress. This time, even if the princess was granted temporary quasi-royalty as the head of the side chamber, would you be more effective if you married a formal marriage recognized by God in the Stanza Empire?

I see. That makes sense. Dee hasn't been officially married to anyone yet, so if you get stuck in there, you're blocking the "bigamy" escape.

It is an indisputable laugh that floats on Kai's lips while talking lightly. I can see his deep contempt for the shallow designs of the Stanza Empire.

Exiga took a strong step.

- I won't get lost anymore. I'll try to stop it.

Prince Sama?

I... I've only ever done anything but torment the princess. Besides, I will never be able to face the princess, nor you, nor King Elgrand, for the rest of my life, if I ever leave my beloved home. "

Well, as far as I'm concerned, I certainly don't complain about everything that has happened so far. Maybe Dee herself doesn't resent Prince Sama that much.

Even so… no, that's why. Beyond the fact that you have come to the Stanza Empire in disregard of the Princess's wishes, it is my only sincerity to return to the Kingdom of Elgrand as she wishes. Whatever happens, I will not force you to despise the princess any longer. Never let them.

--- The doubt cleared up. Determination was consolidated. Now, in front of Exhiga, it is clear what you have to do and the way to go.

... I don't have time. Hurry, we need to connect with those who might be able to help us.

Grabbing his fist, Exiga looked back at Samba, who had been watching over her.

- Samba, I'm sorry it's late at night, but will you find out which of the palaces I'm talking about now? "

Den, you...

Samba, who tried to say something in a misguided way, looks at Exiga's face and stops all movements and looks back at her as soon as her eyes catch her.

Your eyes are finally filled with twitching, relief and, above all, joy.

- I understand.

Please.

Kai smiles behind her nodding selves.

... I don't have the power to see the future. Prince Exiga, if you are in a position to lead this country, the world will change dramatically. --Probably a long way from here.

At the same time as the words were finished, his signs faded away - and by the time he looked back, only the moonlit garden plants were shaking.

Some harsh, divine-like word of Khai... penetrates deep into Exiga.

"Kai... He's a strange man."

"It's a good way to show up and disappear, so you've been away from people.... but your thoughts toward the princess are also incredibly human. Does that duality look mysterious again?"

"I don't know, maybe. One thing is certain: tomorrow, when the princess becomes Queen Stanza, and the marriage contract is signed by the temple, the morning council will be stained with blood."

"... when I think about it later, I don't really appreciate it."

"For our sake, we must do everything in our power to stop tomorrow's resolution."

The moon was constantly illuminating Exiga, who took another vow.
