"The degree of mild fever should not be taken lightly. Please take care of your body."
Chancellor Gilbert, who was gentle and kind, had been friendly with me long before I met my sister or niisama.
Sometimes my father and I came to see each other, and for me when I was young, I was a valuable customer.
Caught a cold or felt worse than usual. I've come to see you a lot, and sometimes you've given me fun stories and pictures of the castle. A very nice person who has always cared about my body. Somewhere a pitiful, long, cut look seemed to be looking at someone through me, and it was still a much more gentle look.
When I begged, my father and mother also told me that they were doing a good job. I thought you and your sister would be friendly. Because even my sister is so kind to me.
Even though Chancellor Gilbert, who had gradually come to see me by himself since he was about six years old, was dimly awake, he could only imagine that he was busy at work.
However, only when my body worries me, when my eyes sink even more sadly and bitterly, my chest is throbbing. Even though my body was gradually getting better, she seemed to suffer with each passing year.
It was just an oniisan who came to see me sometimes, so I realized that the shadows were getting darker every time I met him. But I knew I was still a small child, and I couldn't do anything.
My life has changed dramatically since I was six years old.
Many people have learned of my existence, which has always been a secret. Until then, I lived secretly in a corner of the royal palace where my mothers lived, but I moved all the rooms and started a new life. Chelsea and Curler were the only maidservants I ever had, but everything else was really the same.
I've changed.
"...... Tiara-sama, how are you doing?"
Sixteen years old. After finishing my dress for the ceremony, I invite the other person who knocked on my door to my room.
Having lived in a tower a decade ago, I am sure that a new life will start again from today.
With the permission of the Queen of this country, Pride, I was allowed to appear before the people again at today's ceremony.
Even my birthday was celebrated at the ceremony when I was only six years old, and I was very nervous. Until now, niisama has been celebrating, but I'm sure a lot of people will come to the ceremony this year. I greet Her Majesty there and meet my fiancée who does not even know her face. He was allowed to enter the king's house, and for just a few days he was waiting for a princess-like life in any country.
Until now, I lived in a remote tower, but the people still let me live a life without any problems. It is now my turn as a princess to fulfill that responsibility.
I don't know what kind of fiancé the queen has. But I'm sure he's a waste to me. After all, marrying me must be the opponent of the royal family.
This tower, which has lived for ten years, is also lonely to leave with a gentle niisama. But, at the same time, I'm drowning in my fiancée, who I'm about to meet.... I hope he's kind.
Holding down my heart, which sounds louder than before, I turned to the door while leaning on my chair. The Prime Minister of this country has come to confirm my preparations for today's ceremony.
"My brother, His Highness the Regent of Steyl, will come and see how things go." I will escort you to the royal palace and guide you to the venue. "
"Thank you.... um."..... Jilbert-san, would that have been nice...? "
"Please call me Gilbert." It's a pleasure for you to remember, Her Royal Highness Princess Tiara II. "
The grandfather who bends his hips deeply to thank him is Chancellor Gilbert.
He seems to be a very talented man who has been Prime Minister since his father's generation in this country. When this person was introduced for the first time, Niisama introduced her to me.
“Chancellor Gilbert,” he said, softly loosening his long, slender eyes and smiling. It feels kind of nostalgic. The light blue eyes are very beautiful.
I left immediately after the greeting because I had a job before, but I think I know my father well that I worked with him. I would like to ask a lot of questions if I can tell you the story of my father, who I hardly remember except that he was kind now.
But I feel bad about keeping Chancellor Gilbert in for my very busy ceremony.
"How is your body?" Tiara-sama is said to have been weak until she was six years old. "
"It's okay!" It was already a childhood story. I am very well now and I am not worried at all. It's been a long time since I've seen the people, niisama, and Queen Pride. ”
And to his brother-in-law, Prince Leon. While saying so myself, I realized that my heart was really excited.
Truth is, niisama came to see us every day in the moment, but that's our only secret. Yes, Niisama always said that it would be terrible if the Queen knew about it. No one knows that Pride and I have always been friendly.... I wish I could get along with Master Pride someday.
"Please don't talk to me lightly!" I am God's chosen Queen, Predictor? I don't even want to see the shame of royalty like you!
... I wonder how many years ago that was.
I remembered my sad memories, and my bouncing chest ached and slowed.
Maybe ten years ago. Unlike niisama, who publicly came to the remote tower from time to time to check on the situation, Pride never came to see me.
Pride, who hated me from a young age, always seemed unwilling to let me in his sight. The memories of about ten years ago are almost impatient now. I can't remember why Pride said such a thing. But I can see why you hated me. For Pride-sama, I was an unborn child and a sister who didn't want me to exist. I was the one who took away a lot of his precious things because he was weak.
However, he opened the ceremony to create a venue for adult celebrations and birthday celebrations, and chose his fiancée while he was busy. If my marriage is helpful, you may one day admit me as your sister. Niisama seemed to hate it, but for me, there was only one sister. I want to get along as a sister from now on if I can.
"... Tiara-sama? How are you?"
"! No, no. I'm sorry, I'm so frustrated."
I accidentally pressed my chest and made a difficult face.
Chancellor Gilbert is worriedly bending his round back to peer into me when I think about it. He opened his hands in a panic and shook them to the left and right, but Prime Minister Gilbert remained anxiously frowned.
Really? If you don't feel good, tell me to call a doctor, so I will shake my head to the side and say no. If you call me a doctor, niisama will be flying out of fear!
It's okay, I'm fine, I'm very excited, I'm nervous, I repeat myself, and Prime Minister Gilbert finally exhaled and convinced me. Is that so... and after rounding your shoulders, you can stretch your round back in a good posture.
"If you need anything, please feel free to contact me anytime.... please take care of your body."
Please take care of yourself.
... is that it?
My chest sounds different than before. I feel very nostalgic for why the words of care that I have been told by my maidservants and niisama until now.
I don't know why I met Chancellor Gilbert so recently.
I saw that my eyes were getting round, and my neck tilted slightly. I wonder if you've seen Chancellor Gilbert somewhere since he was a little young, with his long, cut-eyed eyes slightly open. It's been ten years, and at least we haven't seen each other since we moved to a separate tower, so it's not strange if we don't remember.
"Um... have you met Chancellor Gilbert before...?" at that time, when I was little... "
"... Now. How was it?" As you can see, I've been forgetting a lot lately this year.... but I remember your father very well. "
I couldn't believe it!
I'm glad to hear the answer to another thing I wanted to hear, while inadvertently letting my voice bounce. Then maybe we've met before. The Prime Minister was assistant to the king, and my father, the second princess, was assistant to the king.
He was a very kind man, and he may have come to see me with his assistant, Chancellor Gilbert.
Chancellor Gilbert, who smiled softly at my reaction, replied in a calm voice, “Yes, very.” More laughing wrinkles on your face, making you a more gentle face. Then he opened his mouth slowly with a distant gaze.
"He was really, really good." As a king, as a husband, and as a father, I was always attentive to people, and... I cared about my friends. "
It might be similar to Tiara-sama. I said that and smiled.
The gentleness is similar. Yes, I've been told by others. Because my face looks like my mother's, I am very happy to be told that I look like my father.
I want to hear more and more. When asked to do so, Chancellor Gilbert lowered his thin eyebrows in embarrassment and lowered his head, saying, "I'm sorry, but there will be a ceremony." That's right, I was so happy about my father.
I apologized, putting my hands in front of my head, and then dropped Chancellor Gilbert off.
After a while, Niisama laughed and replied loudly.
The birthday festival is about to begin. Living in the king's house, which is permitted for a short period of time before marriage. If I had the time, I would ask Chancellor Gilbert for more details about my father.
After the door closed, I took a big breath and continued to wait for niisama.
……
"I understand." Whatever I can do. I will be happy to help you if that's what Pride wants. "
Thank you very much!
Yes, my voice bounces unexpectedly to Prime Minister Gilbert's pleasure.
Maria's Recovery Celebration Party hosted by Chancellor Jilbert. I am very happy to be present with my beloved sister, niisama and father.
Now Niisama was thumping, but when I asked him for the Kingsguard and Kingsguard instead, Chancellor Gilbert nodded with great pleasure. I will ask Pride for details as soon as possible, and I want to make it as close as I can to your wishes. Chancellor Gilbert is very reassuring to say so.
Chancellor Jilbert, who smiles and slightly bends his height with a glass in one hand, has always been a gentle brother since he was a child. He was a valuable customer to me at a young age who came to see me from a time when my body was weak and my existence was secret.
One day, instead of being with my father, I came to work alone, but... now I know why.
"... Tiara-sama? How are you?"
"! No, no. I'm sorry, I'm so frustrated."
Inadvertently, I realized late that my expression had darkened.
Chancellor Gilbert peeks at me worriedly as he squints his eyebrows. I wave my palms to the left and right, but the expression on Chancellor Jilbert's face is still not clear.
Being ready, I squeezed my chest with both hands and then dropped my gaze once. Ahh... my voice is a little clogged up, and I close my eyes to the pale light blue eyes.
"... I'm sorry. Um, I haven't noticed anything..." And about Maria. Chancellor Gilbert was always worried about my body, but I didn't..... "
While saying it, I felt bitter again.
Even though I had noticed that Chancellor Gilbert seemed to be in pain a long time before oniisama and niisama knew about it. Still, I never realized how sad and distressed I was.
I see now. Why did Chancellor Gilbert worry so much about my body?
I'm sure that Maria was the one who repeatedly took care of me every time I got feverish or sick. He was always upset about his beloved Maria, and he worried about me. I could not do anything to Chancellor Gilbert or to Maria, even though I had been a good Chancellor for a long time. If oniisama hadn't foreseen, if niisama hadn't cooperated in the instant, if Arthur didn't have such a great special ability, then Chancellor Gilbert would have been even more bitter and sad.
One of us stayed in the room and waited without doing anything.
Even if I become a thin voice, I will keep my gaze up as hard as I can. She stared at her long, sharp eyes, and put her strength into her hand that held her chest down.
Chancellor Gilbert's surprised expression didn't answer immediately, but slowly his eyes narrowed again.
"... what do you ask?"
You're still sisters, aren't you? And it was a very warm voice.
Now I'm surprised, blinking twice and looking back at Chancellor Jilbert. Chancellor Gilbert, who smiled softly, was not really angry, staring at me with the same gaze as he did at his sister.
"Since I was very young, I had a weak and meticulous mind, and I was very saved by the fact that Tiara-sama grew up healthy."
I want to cry a little at words that I never thought were too kind.
Chancellor Gilbert, with his hand on his chest and his slow, graceful motion, is a different man than he was then. Chancellor Gilbert used to be a gentle, soft smile, but now I think he really has a lethargic look.
I'm sure you owe this to Onee-sama too.
"I have long been disrespectful to my sister, Pride, who is also dear to Tiara." I'm really, really sorry. ”
That's what keeps my head down.
I don't know how bad Chancellor Gilbert did to your sister. Somehow you've always looked at me more than your sister, and you've hated me because you say mean things to your sister. However, I have committed something unacceptable as Prime Minister, and now I am working hard for my country and people to atone for it. I'm glad to see that you've become kind to my sister, and that you've been a little confused with your niisama... most of all, that Prime Minister Jilbert himself seems very happy.
I don't want to laugh at the sadness anymore, and I want to be with my beloved Maria for the rest of my life.
I apologize to Prime Minister Gilbert and thank you again for your continued support. Chancellor Gilbert raised his head and laughed, “Of course,” smiling like he was in the light.
... that's why.
"I like Maria and Chancellor Gilbert."
I think it's really good.
I'm relieved to see Chancellor Gilbert laughing today. Especially after having a very, very sad dream this morning.
Sitting next to the depressed niisama who was defeated again, he uttered a heartfelt word. The dream I had this morning. I still didn't remember what dreams were, but I felt very, very tight in my chest.
It was the same day that your sister rescued Chancellor Gilbert. When I woke up, my tears were overflowing, and I couldn't help but feel a lot of "sadness".
However, even today, with your help, [sad], everyone is laughing in the opposite way. Especially today, just looking at Chancellor Gilbert's smiling face and standing in line with Maria will warm up your chest and untie you.
You can't bully your beloved sister, and I don't think it can be helped that your beloved niisama won't allow it. But even if I don't remember a sad dream, I don't think I'm scared at all. Even though I don't remember my dreams, I sincerely think I see Chancellor Gilbert and Maria laughing.
"...... I'm so very, very happy that you're happy."
”... ah, ah, ah, ah, ah... I'm sorry... I... it's my fault... everyone... everyone...”
I've always loved Chancellor Gilbert.
