"Uncle Vest, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." I just finished dressing up. "
Jill Vail unlocks her special abilities, and after she finishes dressing, Pride knocks on the door of the guest room.
With Alan and Column behind her, she waited for a reply holding her chest with one hand.
The Lord at the other end of the door forgave her, who had changed her clothes in a separate room. The door opens from the inside and Jill Vail greets you with a smile. In the center of the room, a waistcoat in a familiar shape sat on the sofa.
"Thank you for your hard work..."
"Oh, come in."
Nature and her thin voice prompted Vest to take the opposite seat again.
After one incident with Ray and Rhea, they were coming back to Gilbert's Mansion in a horse-drawn carriage. The pride of having kept West waiting in his carriage longer than expected, he had little conversation with him on the move.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting," she apologized after the carriage ran out, but since West nodded silently, the carriage on the way home was only nervous.
"I wonder if you're still angry..." I forgot about the pride of narrowing my shoulders even after I hungry. Gilbert peeked at the Vest he had already tasted as he thanked him for the tea he was brewing in front of him.
The appearance and appearance of the common people seemed to be a lie, and now the waist of even one hair is shrunk in another sense. The torn hair is now divided into 73 beautifully, and the clothes are a squeaky dress of the usual royalty. For her, the figure of Vest had always been familiar, but at the same time, her stomach shrank without any basis for wondering if she would receive a sermon.
She clenched her fist on her lap in front of the steaming cup and opened her mouth again to the waist where she would not say anything.
Obviously, Alan and Column, who were standing behind the pride of revealing tension, were not even aware of the posture.
"Thank you for staying with us despite your busy schedule." I sincerely thank you. "
"I just fulfilled my responsibilities. But this is all classified. I forbid you to talk about my abilities and your involvement in this matter. Of course, the Stills did too. As soon as you leave the room, stop naming me."
In response to repeated caution, Pride said in a passing voice, "I understand," and turned his face to the front.
It can be assumed from now on that there will be many parts of Ray and Lyre that will be distracted by Stale. But we still had to hide Vest and his special abilities.
With pride's straight eyes aligned, Vest nodded briefly, “It will be good.” At least now she has no hesitation in hiding. If we were to say, "How can I hide it?" or "I am confident that I can hide it?" just in case, the requirements would increase.
Take the carriage home first, and I'll tell Vest I'll be back later. Pride will be relieved from my shoulders.
I calmed down as I gently opened my mouth to the tea that Jilbert had brewed for me. Apparently, while mumbling in my heart that there was no blame, my heart was healed by the soft scent of black tea, which seemed to have a sharp nose.
Until a while ago, she visited a livestock dealer and her clothes had a firm smell, but the smell of livestock was finally eliminated with the change of clothes and perfume.
The elegant scent of tea I was used to was as comfortable as waking up from my dreams. Especially: "After you get a good cup of tea and forgiveness whenever you go back, the tea is exceptional." The tension is completely different.
"...... Are things going well at school? Are you able to hide your identity for now?"
"Yes, thank you. The Kingsguards are protecting us, starting with the Styles."
It's nothing but chatter and slurpy words.
For the first time since I came here, Jill Bale, who seemed to be his uncle, laughed quietly. Vest, who tastes black tea bite by bite, is now in a good mood for a superior black tea flavor. Ask Jilbert about a brand he has never tasted before and personally pick it up from the corner of his head.
"How about an inspection?" I haven't remembered everything yet, so I heard you're going to continue. "
"Yes, we have prevented the future of prediction, but after all, we want to test it to the end."
It remains the information reported to Jilbert and Albert, the King's companion.
In other words, while considering that there was no progress other than that, Vest felt that there was no choice but to hurry. Moreover, when Pride says, "I've already checked all the middle school classrooms...", I can see that she has never neglected her original purpose.
He is well aware that it is not easy to grasp the outline of a prediction or to specify when it will be concrete.
I see, I nodded while returning it. All this depends on her abilities.
"The student turnover will still be intense, and I hear that there are still a lot of students who have been expelled or expelled to this day. At the same time, the number of applicants enrolling on the way is increasing. It is also possible that the student has not yet enrolled."
"Yeah.... I don't even know how far ahead we are yet."
According to Vest's most important opinion, Pride also lowered his voice slightly.
In fact, we already know that the game starts three years later. The establishment of the second school itself is about a year from now in the game setting. If the target of the strategy was to enroll in a school with a narrow frame for enrolling in the game, it was definitely considered to be also in Pradest, but the degree of error of not enrolling may be sufficient.
But there are only a few days left for me to stay at school. Having first obtained permission from Queen Rosa for a limited time, no further extensions are allowed.
If we can't find the last target, we'll have to visit the school regularly as a princess, not as a student. I think that I am restricted in my actions as a princess, and I will definitely have a limited number of people to explore as an official business.
I don't know what the final target will look like until I recall it, or if it will be in time for the tragedy before the game starts. There are only three years left.
Thinking like that, Pride naturally caved in to his fingers. With a shadowy niece on her face, West slightly raised his eyebrows and exhaled without making a sound. It seemed that the word "stuck" came from her rounded shoulder.
"It's hard to remember everything you predicted. It's not uncommon for Rosa to end up with a fragmented prediction."
I drank all the tea and put it on the table, and Jill Vale quietly poured it back into the cup.
Vest's words slightly bit his lower lip with pride. In fact, the [prediction] itself was definitely prevented today. Ray let go of school management early and regained his weakness, Rhea.
Now that the school is no longer in the hands of specific people, you can let go if you want to. At least the tragedy after the game began could have been prevented. Even if the result is that the detailed prediction content could not be remembered in the end, there is no blame.
"On rare occasions, the future may unintentionally change..." The future you foresaw at the time of your involvement with the school would be a different situation. The same goes for Anchorson. "
The future has changed, that's all.
Pride swallowed his mouth as he felt his heart read in Vest's words.
However, he says in his heart that he has not yet been able to change the future of only one person. Until then, I will not be satisfied after the resolution. Only the presence of the target that she could not recall was still caught. The only tip I got at the moment was the rooftop.
"At least, you've already achieved good results by infiltrating the school in secret."... I'm glad I found out about this. "
So I finally raised my gaze, which was also dropping my pride.
Vest slowly and gently juxtaposed the status quo with the facts, but the words of consolation mingled slightly this time.
The waist at the end of the line of sight was still a calm expression while liking tea, but still the chest of pride lit up with words that seemed to admit that my infiltration was not in vain. The rules were strict, but the words of my gentle uncle, who was the same as before, stained his chest.
Thank you, and. When Pride smiled and lowered his head like he was getting a little cheerful, Wester laughed tinyly. She pointed at the clock that was hanging in the room and urged her to go home. Before her body remembered her hunger, West lifted her hips to see her off.
"If you can hide your identity safely, that's the best thing to do. This time it's a special case, but you should stay as far away from the Styles and Kingsguard as possible while you're undercover. If something goes wrong, we will order a retreat immediately, regardless of the prediction. We must silence a large number of people from the castle.... I don't really want to use this ability either"
"Yes," she replied in a stern voice.
Originally, there were other ways in the Freesia kingdom, such as contracting, besides the order from the castle, but Vest's special ability was the surest way to do it. And that's why my uncle understands that he doesn't want to diversify his abilities.
Although he is a strict uncle, I know very well that he is not a person who flouts people's memories for his own convenience. This time, my uncle, who raised his heavy hips for one of my lost memories, can't help but hesitate to take away the memories of others.
Column opens the door to pride as she rises from the sofa and tries to leave the room. Before leaving the door, Vest and Gilbert greeted with gratitude. It was so sudden, but they must have been the ones who saw Ray and Rhea.
Thank you so much and have a good dream.
And as I told you to leave the room, and as I followed the pride, so did Alan and Column, the Kingsguard.
"Wait, wait, wait, wait."
Shortly after the nervousness ran, it was billy. Vest's low voice stopped the two knights from moving.
The air that was supposed to be soft earlier froze. The two of them tried to look back at West from the direction of their body as they tried to leave the room, but they continued to say, "Keep the knight." Then they stopped breathing.
The only pride I looked back at was Alan, Karam, and Vest, who were slowly approaching their backs, stopping with their faces pointed toward me.
Vest, who seemed to hold back the ten thousand levies, pierced a nail at the two of them who were one step behind the door, saying, "Never look back."
It felt as if the blade was being poked, and the two of them who could not be switched threw their throats at the flowing rocks. As long as they weren't royalty, they would always put their hands on their swords so they didn't have to be attacked.
"Thank you for your hard work this time." Don't ever say anything about this. I don't doubt the knights protecting the first Princess of Pride, but...... I won't allow any information to leak out. "
Haha, the two of them shook their air together in response to Vest's words, whose voice was shocked at the end.
I understand that the hand that rests quietly on their shoulders is from the Regent of this country. Even though it was the weight of a single armor that was not wrapped in armor, there was no force applied, and I felt a slippery pressure. It was an undercover inspection of pride, which was originally a classified mission, but now we understand that we have stepped further into the depths.
Strangely, I was thirsty, and my fingertips didn't move a single moment because of the feeling of being repelled by the blink of an eye. Pride also holds the chest with both hands and does not speak to the three exchanges.
Vest's eyes, which were invisible to the two of them, seemed to be sharpened only by his heartlessness. The waist, which was supposed to be shorter than the two knights, looked even bigger now. Looking at the two in sequence, Vest silenced for a few seconds with his right and left hand on each shoulder, then turned his eyes to pride over their shoulders and said quietly.
"Take care of yourself."
Contrary to the harsh tone of the voice earlier, a soft voice was finally heard, as if speaking as an uncle to pride.
Without a sound, Vest lowered his hand from the two shoulders and pulled himself back while closing the door. Batan and the two of them, feeling the wind pressure from the heavy door on their backs, finally looked back small. Shortly after, I heard the sound of the door being tightly sealed and the key being locked.
Freed from the pressure from West, Pride called out to both of them in a small voice, smiling bitterly at his uncle, who was thoroughly secretive until the end.
The two of them, who blinked more than usual, shouted back at the call of pride, and this time they followed her back. Alan holding the change of pride on his side, the column that he breathed out after holding his forehead with his fingers, and Pride himself did not say anything after leaving the room.
Leaving the mansion without being guided by the maids of the mansion, I rode in a carriage. The only carriage that was stopped in front of the front door was themselves and Gilbert's carriage, because they had been told that they were leaving first.
Perhaps Vest's carriage was still parked in the back, but Pride stepped in through the gate.
Then Alan and Column boarded, and when the door was closed, the carriage soon moved slowly. With safety in mind, pride breathes deeply into the rattling carriage.
After that, I thought I would just go back to the carriage and excuse myself to the stales, but I was conscious that I shouldn't make a mess. I looked through the gap in the curtains and saw the lights falling away from Jillvale's mansion.
With my fingertips, I put back the small open curtain, and Pride leaned against the backrest once, before checking the two facial expressions in turn.
The silence that no one had spoken since entering the carriage was similar to the nervousness of riding with West.... but...
"... thank you very much for today. Captain Column, Captain Alan.... are you tired?"
While carefully choosing the words, I tilted my neck to the two of them as if they were spoken.
The two returned a brief "no" to their pride and returned with a smile and a wave of their hand. Still, the smile of a bitter pride naturally connects your mouth.
The awkward air somewhere conveyed a twitching and unpleasant feeling of pride from beneath my feet. I swallowed it in my mouth many times, hesitated to say something, and repeated it several times, then checked with a tight face again.
"...... please keep this to yourself."
I beg you to shut your mouth, which has been said many times, in a voice that makes you weak.
As they lowered their heads, they raised their brows to the pride of keeping their eyes peering upward, keeping their eyes from them.
I will not reply immediately this time. After raising your head, you stare at her, and now you look at each other. Although their facial expressions hardly changed, they definitely exchanged some intentions with each other and finally returned their gaze to pride.
Alan slowly opens his mouth to avoid being scratched off by the sound of a rattling carriage.
"... I'm sorry." What was that about earlier...? "
Alan frowned apologetically, his pride bleeding on his tense face. After all, the words swallow as you scream in your heart.
Alan the Rock waited for an answer, thinking it was rude to remind the pride opponent to fall down. Originally, it would be good to keep your mouths aligned here, but you can't flush without grasping the contents. Furthermore, as I added from the column, "I'm sorry," I apologized for myself and Alan, and then the words continued.
Have you been to Prime Minister Gilbert's Mansion to ask Steyl and the others in confidence, or has Ryer and Pride had some kind of negotiation since then?
"Or is it that Rheer suddenly regained [his] memory in the carriage? You met Ray after Rhea who jumped out of the carriage....."
Uncle Vest...
Pride screams in my heart at last.
Alan's throat had completely dried up when he said, "That's why I brought you into the carriage." Their memories show that West and his special abilities have been beautifully erased.
And I didn't expect pride. At that time, Alan and Column were also prepared to do so when he appeared as a child and learned of his special abilities.
I didn't just see the secret of the royal family. That was not all they had learned overnight.
I was sure that when it was all over, I would have some memories to play with, and Alan and Column were ready to do it without saying a word.
Vest's special ability is the special ability of the memory relationship, and
I have also witnessed the special abilities of the Prime Minister, Gilbert.
Unlike Vest, shortly after their first visit to Jillvale's Mansion, they visited the pride room where they had entered to change clothes without much effort, and the two of them checked Jillvale closely. Furthermore, if the pride of being fourteen years old appears afterwards, it is more impossible to say that you will not notice it.
After Vest, they knew that the identity of the [Apparently Age Changing Special Ability] was Gilbert, and they were sure that at that point, it would be hidden. At least I thought it might be possible to hold back on a contract, but if Vest was a memory-associated Special Ability, he wouldn't even have to.
And as expected, Vest erased their memories at the end.
Everything related to yourself and Jillvale's special abilities. The memories of myself and the boy named Andrew were almost erased during the pride change since I visited Jilver Mansion.
Now, in their memories, Vest doesn't exist in this case.
It is constructed of only fragmented memories of three people riding in a carriage with Pride, and seeing Thomas and Lyre, who have recovered their memories.
Once again, Vest's special abilities were terrifying. Pride felt a chill all over her body, and she was conscious that she shouldn't make a desperate expression here.
My palms were getting wet as I remembered the words of my gentle uncle and the gaze of the absolutely strict regency.
"...... Since I went to the Mansion without telling Stale and the others, I would like to ask you to keep all of your involvement with Rhea and Ray secret." I'm sorry, the way I said it earlier was messy. "
Speaking of which, this time we both agreed.
I remember being ordered to keep everything secret. However, I don't remember who told me that except for Pride.
After West wiped out their memories, the two of them thought vaguely about why they were standing in front of the guest room, but naturally they couldn't remember.
Without thinking deeply, Alan called out brightly, recalling the reunion of Ray and Ryer, and now he switched his mind to concentrate on escorting Pride, saying, "When Pride returns to the king's house, please take a rest." Column called out to each of them.
As the words of the two were joined together, Pride reconsidered first not to let out any more ruin to the two in front of him. If Vest and Gilbert's secrets are revealed because of me, I'll see to it that, in the worst case, both of you and your memories are erased.
And Alan and Column also did not dare to say all of their memories.
"Don't say anything."
Pride, take the first princess.
Take care of yourself.
At the end, it was the only memory left unnaturally chopped.
I don't know who gave the order, but it turns out that the word wasn't at least from the pride in front of me.
And even though it dared to become unnatural, I think that this special ability person may know that they have left the words to themselves, to some extent they will notice the uncomfortable feeling of memory.
Then the two spoke to each other. It was extremely natural for them to be told not to be instructed by the person, but at least it seemed that the opponent who had tampered with their memories did not need to pry.
"I─wonder why Chancellor Gilbert is acquainted with such a person..."
─Well, don't you forget that you connected your hands with Pride-sama.
While continuing to laugh at the pride that they were desperately trying to hide, Alan and Column decided to act unaware.
After returning to the castle, Sail and Tiara were waiting for her return.
