Three days have passed since the day Prince Cedric II visited our country.
Day one, my sister, you behave disrespectfully to pride,
The second day he committed a violent act against Pride.
And day three. Today I should have returned home if I had originally planned.
Prince Cedric is still staying at our castle.
Or Pride pulled Prince Cedric back.
Connection between the United Kingdom of Hanazoo and the Kingdom of Copelandi.
Furthermore, preparations for the battle between the kingdoms of Alata and Rafflesiana.
Alliance negotiations with the Kingdom of Sursis frozen by it.
Shortly after I reported it, Pride hurried to Prince Cedric.
Furthermore, he urged Prince Cedric, who would not have liked to see his face, to persuade him to explain the circumstances of his country to my mother.
But Prince Cedric won't open his mouth at all about it yet.
"... I wonder if Prince Cedric has yet to come out of the room this morning.
Shortly after breakfast, I check with the surrounding maids with my eyes for pride words like solitary. From the reaction from the samurai, they still haven't come out of the room. When I said, "Sounds like it," I leaked a small, deep sigh from my pride.
"Sister, were you really happy to pull off Prince Cedric II?
Ask Pride as Tiara tilts her little neck. I strongly agree with that, too. Pride nodded bitterly laughing at Tiara, "Yeah... I'm sorry, I even worried about Tiara and Steel," he said. Me and Tiara shook our heads and denied it, but I was certainly worried about Pride.
Yesterday, Prince Cedric II, who stopped returning home in the words of Pride, left everyone behind with his country's maids and guards, including Jilbel, who was on the spot as it was, and locked him in his room.
What's more, a detailed story later told Tiara that he also worked abusively on his pride just before that. A bunch of disrespect for pride on top of the suspicion of a country guru. If pride were to drive him out of the country, why did he pull it off?
I have remembered this kind of behavior of Pride several times before. But... against a prince who doubts his personality like that, no way.
No matter what, Prince Cedric's behavior of doubting his personality as a person before as a royalty stands out. Why such a man?
... No, that's now. The question is no longer a foolish one to Pride, who also reached out to Jilbel and Val.
I'm already guessing that it's about pride, maybe that's what it is.
Even shortly after Prince Cedric kicked me out of my room, I asked him for his sincerity with Tiara and Jilbert. Pride told me what he predicted about Prince Cedric II, but he didn't reveal what it was about. "Because this should be said from the mouth of the Second Prince Cedric," Pride said after telling him so, staring at the door of the Second Prince Cedric's room with a harsh eye.
And this is what he said.
'Tomorrow, I'll try to talk to him again when he settles down.... will never return to the country like this.
There was also seeping anger at the person trying to reach out, unlike before. Is it frustration with yourself that you can't even overlook the other person you hated so much, frustration with Prince Cedric, who honestly doesn't try to tell you, or hostility to someone further behind Prince Cedric?... None yet, no certainty.
"... hey,... il.... Taylor...?
But is Pride trying to solve it alone again? Do you want me to hold it alone, and worry about it? And choose it for that disrespectful Second Prince Cedric. After all, should I ask Pride again? But if Pride says he shouldn't say it out of his mouth, then he can't ask... no, that's another repeat a year ago. But I can barely act with pride right now. What will remain if you reveal it to me like that? Then at least convince Arthur of his pride.
"... Taylor,... Style?... Hey, Style! It's okay."
"!... sorry, I was thinking a little bit.
When I realized it, Pride looked worried and peered into my face. Shit, he's been thinking a lot too deeply. Pride, holding hands with Tiara, was just about to split the road with me heading to Uncle Vest's room. Pride worried me about my health, but denied it, prompting me to do it again.
"... Arthur and Deputy Eric will be here this morning at the Kingsguard.
"Yes, I know that too. Best wishes to Arthur.
Nod and laugh at the words of pride. All the sharing of Arthur and Kingsguard knights is in my head. If Arthur is by my side, I'm at least relieved for the first half of the day. Already twice, Arthur has defended his pride from the demonic hands of Prince Cedric II.
"Yeah. So in the meantime, I want to go talk to Prince Cedric. Because Arthur helped me yesterday, and... I'm relieved Arthur is here.
Naturally, I agree very much. No, I'd rather you did. I feel safer when something happens to me, and I feel safe to concentrate on my regent duties.
"... so,... well... if it was difficult, it would be perfectly good for you to say no.
Both me and Tiara twist their necks to some rare, badly chopped pride. I look away from me a little shy, and I cheek with my fingertips. I think it's out of place when the trick is adorable.
But even the thought vanished into blisters in an instant into the next word of pride.
"I'm going to go talk to Prince Cedric,... and Style, could you come with me...?
Of course, just between breaks is fine. That's right. I'm gonna tell you to be ashamed. My head turns white on pride. I know very well that my expression solidifies. In the meantime, without realizing it, Pride went on to say the words.
"I'm sorry I said such a weak thing.... but that's all if you stay by my side. Because I'm very comfortable. If it seems difficult, then."
"I'll go.
I would have let the word go if I had noticed it before Pride continued the word. Pride is blinking with his eyes round. But anyway, I slip the tip of my tongue into my mouth.
"I'll go. Ask your Uncle Vest. Whatever it is. I'll wrap up the rest time while Arthur is around. Please wait until then for pride. I'll be sure to pick you up.
I know exactly what I'm sayin 'at the moment myself. But I wasn't willing to suppress it. Just tell Pride to beat even faster. Tiara in line next to Pride was happily comparing me to Pride as if she'd read my mind.
Pride kept his eyes a little rounded, but when it finished telling him, he gave me a sneery soft grin back.
"Thanks, Style. I'm so glad.
The words alone made my heart beat dokun,. Unexpectedly hold his chest with one hand and keep saying hello to Pride. He asked if Pride would stay with Tiara, and now he was gently stroking Tiara's head when Tiara agreed to it.
"Well, I'll do this once. As soon as the separation is made, I will ask you in your pride room.
Okay, don't push it. And Pride and Tiara drop me off, and I head to Uncle Vest early.
- No, you can't.
I know, he says it's careless.
Pride's desire for me, Arthur, and Tiara to stay by her side means she feels threatened by Prince Cedric not so long ago.
- No, no, no, no...!
Keep going desperately until you turn the corner of the straight hallway as you keep walking early.
... Prince Cedric has done so many things that he feels threatened by his pride. The outrage of trying to take my lips away and even getting my hands on pride and pushing them into a tree, not just mouthing them on my hair. It's natural to be frightened that you don't like pride on your own.
- Calm down...!
I'm finally about to turn the corner, and I turn around briefly. It's okay, I haven't seen Pride or Tiara anymore.
... Yes, I should be angry now. To that man who frightened his pride to that point. To that second prince who did so much to Pride!
Yet.
"~ ~ Eh...
... Glad.
Leaning against the wall at the corner, hold your loose mouth with one hand while you breathe. No, as soon as I lose my mind, I know so well that I don't like it burning hot all over my body. I'm sure if I looked in the mirror it would be dyed bright red to my ears.
Glad. Um, pride. You needed me, myself.
There have been many times before that I have been able to rely on this need for special abilities. I was glad I had my own special abilities each time, and I was proud of them. But pride, especially after making predictions, was trying to solve everything on its own. I don't want to bother us as much as I can, I don't want to worry you. A year ago, that even kept me away from it at last.
That pride finally relied on me to be "Stile" regardless of my special abilities.
As a sister, I am ashamed or disgraced by my admiration as the First Princess. Still, you relied on me.
He came with Uncle Vest and always showed me how busy I was. Now there are always two Kingsguards as well as Kingsguard knights in the castle. Even Arthur is with us this time. Yet.
Still, you asked for me...
Having figured out that it would be annoying for me and that there would already be enough escorts if the second prince Cedric was around! Still, he wanted me to be with him.
No, I'm too happy to stop loosening my mouth. As it is, I am no longer about to ask Uncle Vest. Mostly careless, so much pride frightened me. I'm gonna pull myself together.
"If you stay by my side, that's all. It's very comforting."
"~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
No, my face is getting hot again.
I can't just hide it from my mouth. I cover my face with both hands and sit on the spot. The surrounding samurai and guards will notice and speak up, but it's okay. a word was the limit.
of pride, to that disgraceful grin and voice. Just remembering, it overflows without even knowing that my love will stay.
He said he'd just stay by his side.
My presence makes me feel comfortable.
We've been together less than a year now, and there have been a few times when I was anxious to get far from my pride.
I'm sure she doesn't know how much that word of pride was to me.
"……… is there.
Next door, stay.
I engrave this thought, determined over and over again, into this body with words.
Will Pride reach out to Prince Cedric again in mercy?
Then are we going to stop Prince Cedric II and the United Hanazoo Kingdom from trying to spread the war fire to our country, or to other countries?
To infer from what I've seen and heard, Prince Cedric II, I don't think it's easy to snort at it, even if the opponent is pride.
This is the third time I've seen Prince Cedric face to face.
He is a fool who once again committed a foolishness to pride, not to mention a single warning.
Cedric Silva Lowell.
Don't think the mercy of pride will last forever.
If you can get rid of that hand that Pride stretches out, that's good too.
But if you intend to harm our country or our pride... then we will not allow it, even if she does.
Even if you, the United Kingdom of Hanazoo, are aiming to keep our country in your hands.
Kingdom of Copelandi, Kingdom of Arata and Kingdom of Rafresiana.
As my uncle Vest guessed, the United Kingdom of Hanazoo, like those three countries, is also breathing "that great power… irrelevant.
Radiya Empire.
A great power that was targeted, but at the end of the day, constantly loses its sanity because of the fear of its aggression.
If you're coming, come.
Your silver plates will make me polish as much as I want.
That, with the neck.
