“It's the last candidate. Jilbert Butler, 18 years old. This time, the candidate is the youngest, and the special ability will be [age manipulation]."
I was introduced to the guide and thanked him deeply. I don't have time to think about it anymore.
Ahead of the red carpet was a young queen sitting on the throne and a young man with blue hair. Judging by its location, it was Prince Vest, the Regent. He is still guided by the former regent, Regent Oswald, but he is a young prince who was granted real power over the country.
With the introduction of the guide, the people who were different from the previous interview were aligned in a way that they refrained from the left and right sides of the carpet.... the Count Arlingham is there too. At least they seem to be in the upper echelons.
My nominator, he, was also staring at us with his eyes wide open. I didn't know about my special abilities, so I couldn't help but be surprised.
“Gilbert Butler, you were the best performer in this exam. Please let me know."
Even though she was still young, the graciously laughing queen wore majesty.
Is it just royalty that gives you the style of a king?
Thank you for your happiness, and thank you for returning the words and poking one knee at a time. With the utmost courtesy, I took note of every word of my statement and continued to answer my questions....... as you feel your heart beating hotly at the most brilliant word you've ever spoken.
From the answers already asked in the previous interview, he spoke about the future prospects of the country, his own aspirations, and his readiness to serve as Prime Minister again. I will perform the ideal and desired statue of the Chancellor to the fullest extent of my thinking. I'm going to sharpen all my nerves without missing this moment when I'm one step ahead.
"... how about you, sister?" There was no lack of special abilities and education, and I was able to jump through my written grades. It's a little bit younger than the other candidates, but it's also what Chancellor Nicholas wants. ”
Yes, and the queen replied to the prince's words.
He was introduced as the last candidate, but apparently it also made sense that he was the last.
Dare to wait for the hour without letting go of my words. He only plays the good young man, and shows no dust if he wants it.
At the edge of the line of sight, the upper layers nodded silently. An old prime minister. That's when I held my throat to the sound of my voice.
"Please wait... I'm sorry, but there's something I need to tell you before I do..."
All of a sudden, the flow of everything that was going smoothly was stopped.
It was Count Arlingham who held back his sharp eyes and disagreed when he looked at the angle of his face.
At least in front of the royal family, he kept his voice down, but he asked permission to speak with a face that changed his blood profile while still attracting attention. What do you mean, chewing in your mouth while remembering the thinness of your stomach spinning in an unpleasant chest disturbance. And then... I said it naked on the spot.
I was born a junior, and I was an orphan before I was hired by junior aristocrats.
I was betrayed by his nominees, and my thoughts vanished into vain.
At the same time as I wonder why you suddenly put me in a position, I also wonder why you know information that even your current master does not know in the first place. When I dived into the castle, I was hiding everything.
According to the count, who speaks with his tongue full of grease, at the time of recommending me, he was investigating the previous mansion.
In the previous mansion, he certainly talked about the absence of parents to attract sympathy in order to be hired in residence, and the desperate living from the lower class.... I thought he was a good man and looked sweetly at him. I realized that he must have been one of the upper echelons.
Beyond my special abilities, his remarks instantly turned the air of the scene into noise.
Special abilities are only valued. My authenticity doesn't change anymore, my grades and my superiority. But.....
Not only special abilities, but also aristocrats and other high-style people are chosen.
His words, which would have been one of the test tubes, pushed against my skull like a blade.
The Chancellor is not just a superior, he is an aide to the royal family. Among the many upper echelons of Japanese supremacy, the Prince, a human being from abroad, and the young people from the lowly lower echelons. That alone was enough for them to puzzle their judgment.
For some reason, the count distorted his face bitterly to one of the upper echelons who naturally questioned him. The sudden headwind never stops. Because I am.
“Gilbert Butler, I heard from the interviews earlier that he was from a junior nobleman, if that's correct. Does that mean you told a lie?"
I didn't know who I was in the first place by a low voice that wasn't silent.
However, when I raised my face, Prince Vest, who was standing next to the throne, looked down at me sharply like a lie.
As soon as the royal family received their attention, all organs, not just the stomach, shrank. Even though I should have been so confident in my mouth, no excuse came out.
I did say it to my mouth. He enclosed the hawk as he could not have been noticed, and dared to say that there was no evidence. I never thought I'd have been fully investigated by the nominees.
The princess wondered, "Why did you tell such a lie?", but now this situation tells all the reasons.
The focus is only on special abilities and the strength of the person. Even if there are low-level candidates, there is no problem with the policy. However, it was also a fact that the gate was easy to open if you were a nobleman. Especially if it was not just the upper level, but the Prime Minister's chair. Above all, I wanted to hide that I was a lowlife person.
And now, the fact that it's a false statement is even more sinful, and I'm going to tighten my neck. The road that was supposed to get through one more step collapses.
"Count Arlingham! Why did you recommend him to us, knowing it before the selection?"
"No, of course I thought he had the right qualities! There is no falsity in the content of the letter of recommendation from me! besides....."
The count, who was thrown at one of the superiors, lifted and lowered his shoulders and stopped speaking once.
Looking at the princess and the Regent with only his gaze and expression, he looked at the princess and the Regent with a bitter face that he could not say. Then the two royalty who had received the gaze nodded convincingly after placing a beat. I see, the Regent has made a mistake, but I don't know what it is.
And once the Earl of Arlingham had restated, he looked down at me with his pathetic eyes when he coughed.
"...... even though he made his own false declaration in the sacred castle, I never thought that he would really come as a finalist."
I was wondering if I'd be finishing up in the first stage of the examination. And, at the same time as I looked into my eyes and doubted the man's ears,... I was also terribly convinced.
Intelligent testing. It was easy for me, but there are certainly some candidates, such as lost nobles and junior assistants.
Knowing that I was born in the lower echelons, I didn't think that I would ever get over it. I only lived as a servant or a servant. Of course it was.
Apparently, he thought that people were only good, but on top of that, he recommended it to me with a simple sense of remembrance.
His vision narrowed and he blinked black and white. The fact that I was betrayed and looked down on by the prime minister who gave me as many passing books as possible. At the time he was told here, I realized that he had judged me to be unsuitable for the Chancellor. I think a hundred for a moment, as long as that mouth is sewn up in this place.
The prince said, "Should we also hear the opinion of Prime Minister Nicholas?" He was also appointed to the position of judge.
It is also spoken from the upper level. If the inferior lies before him, and is too young, and stands in the prime minister forever with special ability, and is known to have immortality, then it shall be a seed of strife from the neighboring nations. It is gradually inverted to the point where it was seen as an advantage, and it is said as a bad point.
With this, the Chancellor might be thrown out of the castle in the future. No, in the test of deciding on the sacred Chancellor, if I tell lies in front of the royal family, if I'm guilty, then I'm going to pick up Maria, even if it's stupid to stay in the castle.
"No, I want him."
Suddenly, I couldn't even look back at the voice behind me, and I stopped breathing.
Along with the feeling that the eyelids were gone, the princess and the prince in front of them raised their gaze in the direction of their voices. With a lot of confused voices coming up from the upper levels, the sign of approaching with no hesitation... was something I remember hearing.
He looked back with his head lowered in horror. Despite being in front of the royalty, the man proceeded without hesitation before the royalty.... a man with yellow-brown short hair, black eyes and stables.
When the upper level stands up and disrespectfully orders anyone to take their voice out to the Wilderness Guard, none of the guards will move. He ran his eyes and squeezed his mouth to wait for the royal order.
Then, some of the upper management suddenly hid their voices "Wait", "This voice is"... slaying... ". It seems that his identity as one of the test tubes is far superior to theirs.
Without any strength in his chin, I was just dazed, and he reached behind me. He even stood next to me and faced the queen without wearing flat clothes.
"A young man blessed with talent, intelligence, and special abilities. Originally, in Japan, talent is more than identity. There are no lower classes in the upper echelons of this room."
A part of the upper level mouths at the majestic spoken word.
No wonder I'm here right now. If I'm staring at you, then I have a new question. No, the most mysterious thing is that he's got a say in this.
He puts his hand on the floor, folds his knee, and looks up at him with his body turned back. He was shorter than I was, said to be sixteen, and no one wondered how he was accustomed to the candidate.
“Or was there a reason we finally wanted to drag down the most powerful candidate who showed coarseness?”
Everyone tied their mouths just by pointing their black eyes at the upper layer.
Only Count Arlingham is blindfolded and pale. When he turned to the front, and looked at the princess and the prince, they also looked at him as if they were staring at him, and allowed him to speak. And further along the way, their gaze became distant. Looking back, the other shadow appeared from behind the door that remained open behind the man in the stables. At that moment, the upper layers' breathing sounds stopped briefly. I was still not surprised by the man who came slowly step by step. Now I don't wear a hood either.
The man narrowed his eyebrows with a sharp purple gaze, and he showed up with the guard. Yeah, well, I just think of that guy in front of me. The man walking on the red carpet looked at the princess with a quiet look, kneeling with me and looking at the upper level.
The man who was supposed to be the stables threw his gaze at the man without changing his mind. Asked, "How about it?" He stops one step ahead of me and one step ahead of the stables.
"I would also like to hear your opinions from the examination hall" Prime Minister Nicholas "
As soon as he was told, the figure of the man in the hood changed.
The crimson hair turned chestnut-colored with gray hair, and the sharp purple eyes with wrinkles engraved on the face were loosened and turned into soft yellow eyes. His height was extremely shrinking, he had an old-like body, and only his posture stretched tightly. It's not the first face, it's totally different.
Ohhhh... just like the upper levels who leaked their voices, I was breathless. The reading was overshadowed by the thought that he was the prince of rumors.
At one point, the old man, who was called Chancellor Nicholas, exhaled loudly. "Let me put it bluntly," the voice said was a voice of age. I now understand why he didn't let go during the examination.
Chancellor Nicholas spoke in a slow tone, but his words were close to his assertion that he would not wear them on his teeth.
Many of the candidates at the examination hall immediately noticed the presence of Prince Albert, and many of them were changing their behavior. Many of them were auxiliary officers and servants recommended by the upper or upper levels.
The word came to my mind as soon as the information leaked. At the same time... if the man in the hood there hadn't been Prince Albert. The chill rushed through her back. I didn't realize that the Prime Minister was a special ability to change his appearance. I felt terribly miserable because I was so good at making my appearance younger. The current Chancellor can change his appearance, not just his youth.
"I told you that it was strictly confidential for me to dive into the examination venue." Apparently, some of them were too sweet to be nominees. "
With that, the man who spoke majestically quietly put his hand to Prime Minister Nicholas.
As soon as the old man's wrinkled hands took the hands of the young sixteen-year-old, the young man in the stables changed his appearance. The clothes remained the same, and the clothes that were adapted to the taller body also stretched along the scale.
The short crimson hair and purple eyes were sharply photographed without wrinkling between the eyebrows. The majesty that overflowed was still royalty.
"Falsehood is certainly unacceptable. But it's a trivial matter if you're born. Special abilities and strengths are guaranteed in previous interviews."
At least I don't care. And, as he flushes his own hair while telling you so, he will be clothed in the stables, and there will be no one else who thinks so. Even the poor-looking clothes could now illuminate one of the noble costumes. Is it because of its tidy appearance, or is it because of its majestic majesty, which is unique to royalty?
Only the Queen and the Regent, who knew everything, did not change their faces and stared at him and the Chancellor in silence.
"I have the talent and strength to be a part of my country. And a young man with a future just as Chancellor Nicholas wanted. And if you want it from me... do you think you're prepared to continue to serve and assist me with your whole body without my special abilities connecting to foolish Freesia and blood?"
That was the first time that his gaze had fallen on me.
Even though I was given a gaze without moving my neck, I thought my heart stopped for a moment. She swallowed it in her mouth, and her whole body tightened with strength in her chin, and her fingers tightened with tremors. The dry eyeball moisturizes without the need for blinking.
After grabbing it with both eyes, the guide graciously wore a coat from behind to him.
"You're late to name yourself." I'm Albert. "
Baba, baba.
A cloak with a flipped flag gushed up from him, even a royal style. Just like the Queen in front of her, it was the king's elegance.
While everyone in the castle knew his name as a royal family, I realized that it was the first time I had been named [Judo].
"Royal Ivy next year."
Albert Royal Ivy.
Prince of a neighbouring country and fiancée since the time when the queen was a princess. The queen, who was crowned and held supreme power when I was hired at the castle, and the prince, who is to be married next month, are in great demand.
Along with the Queen's one-armed Regent, the man promised the country's second most powerful man.
Without turning away from me, he lined up beside the queen and photographed me with purple eyes.
"Gilbert Butler, do you want my assistant to be king?"
There was undoubtedly a way out of the land that was supposed to be taken away.
He breathes and commands his nerves around his body, which is not free, to speak out, moving his lungs and stretching his throat.
Preparedness has been determined from the very beginning. Less than that, does the biggest institution in the country throw out unwanted lies?
I've lost everything else, but I have a shameful background I wanted to hide.
I knew it was too much of a job, but I couldn't help but reach out.
It makes sense to abandon your steady life as a servant and knock on the castle gate.
There is a future that you want to get even if you throw away your years and your past.
No matter who will use you, no matter who will look down on you... throw away all the lies, all the glory, all the past, all the self! I'm ready to give my whole body.
I'll be waiting.
"I hope... I will support you and serve you for the rest of your life!" So, please, give me the chance to be Prime Minister...! "
To make her happy.
From the upper body, where he showed his chest with his hand, he knelt down to the full extent to the three royalty. The brain that he remembers as the young man in front of him only spoke for a moment in confusion, but quickly recovered.
I acknowledge and swear that the young man who was merely the stables was the king of the future of this country.
I threw away my glory and glory in the dangling thread of light, and clung to it with all my strength without flinching.
This is the only way I have left. If nothing more is left to pick her up, there will be no more.
"... I hereby declare in the name of the Queen, Rosa Royal Ivy."
Deeply Fu Kuma, the moaning voice of the upper layer no longer resonates in the brain.
It was as clear as the voice of the heavens, which was rained down on me, waiting only for forgiveness.
Everyone shut up and waited for the Queen's official oath to continue. Not even the regent, who had sent me a cold gaze, was now silent, not to mention the noisy upper echelons. Count Arlingham, who had a pale complexion, now only opened his mouth with his rolling eyeballs.
We who do not believe in God know with this body what it means to worship royalty.
For us, they are the gods.
"Gilbert Butler, I will recognize you as our Prime Minister."
Chancellor of the Kingdom of Freesia
No one objected to the title directly conferred by the Supreme Power.
