8 Stories: Sweet Trap and Trap Breaking * 3
I was kind of in the mood for dreams. It makes me feel kind of blurry, hot, because I've seen something too nice.
"Hey, are you okay?
"Yeah......"
But my job today is to be Faye's excuse. If Faye gets in trouble, I'm here to get her out of the office. Hold on tight.
"It's okay. You can always feel ill."
"Ooh. I like it..."
Faye looks at me and smiles somewhat out of her mind.
"... let's take it easy. In the meantime, I'll greet His Majesty the King or His Royal Highness the first time, and then I'll stay at the party to the point where I won't be rude, that's fine."
"Yeah."
Okay. First of all, great guy. Then, buy as much time as you can, then disperse. If that's the case, let's work together that way.
Laocles is treated as a 'squire', so have him wait at the wall.
And Faye casually walked towards the center of the room. Talking to me in the meantime.
He laughed a little louder when someone approached him, pretending to be passionate about talking to me. By the way, what I was talking about at that time was' about my favorite egg dish '. Faye is an omelet. I roll stock. [M]
... that's how you come to the middle of the room.
"Oh, you're from the Redgard family..."
A calm, soothing voice can be hung.
As soon as Faye stopped talking to me and corrected her posture.
"Yes, it's Faye Brad Redgard.... Thank you for inviting me today, Your Highness"
Your Highness, that means...
"Well, don't change that. It's not a tough meeting."
I guess this guy with a thin grin when he says that, Prince, is the one.
A little, my surrounding voice went a long way. Maybe everyone's paying attention over here because Faye started talking to the prince. I'm listening and trying to listen to Faye. There were signs of that.
At its center, Faye and the prince face each other.
... age, the prince looks above. But he is taller than Faye. The prince is not that big. However, he looks like a princess wrapped in lavish clothes.
"That's right. When it comes to the Redgard family, it's a flawed house.... Sorry about that. I hear it was the day before the news arrived. You'd be surprised at the sudden."
The prince says so and makes a face like 'I did something sorry' in everything.... It's suspicious if you really think.
"Yeah. You surprised me. But the surprise is joy. There's no reason to be unhappy because of the sudden happy news."
Faye is shattered to such an extent that he is not disrespectful, he says so and laughs. Somehow, you're good.
"Right or right. I hope so. What do you say, are you enjoying the party?
"Yes, of course."
"You can say anything with deficiencies. The purpose of this meeting is to make sure everyone enjoys themselves. Father wants that, too."
That's what the prince says, laughs grandiously. There is no cloudy spot on that smile.
"Right. Then I'll have fun. … However, my father and brother would still be a little nervous about why someone like me was called."
... but as soon as Faye said so, the prince looked a little, nervous.
"Are you glad that someone like me invited you to a place like this?
"Hmmm... of course. Right, this meeting is also an opportunity to meet face to face with the Hordes, who are not usually met. There is no art in always having all the same touch on your face. Yes, I spoke to your father."
Faye remains smiling, but his gaze is a little, sharp. Just get down to business and say it in your heart.
"And it is also for this purpose that we will gather promising young people and discover those who deserve to support the future kingdom..."
That's what the prince said to get a little lost... then he took Faye's, slightly challenging bright gaze and decided to be ready.
"Apparently, you turned the legendary Red Dragon into a subpoena. I'd like to see it at first sight."
Quickly, I came to the point.
Faye seems a little lost. But I grinned and nodded.
"Yeah. I don't mind. Of course, I can't give you that."
And out of the way, I said something as sharp as a joke... and gently slapped the brooch stone on my chest.
As soon as possible, the Red Dragon appears.
The venue was frightened.
Dazzling, shinier eyes than chandeliers. Scales more red than flames. Its successful body, its spread wings, everything belongs to the 'Red Dragon'.
... When the Red Dragon came out, he gently swirled small on the spot. Fly through the ceiling of the venue and then come back to Faye's side.
Kyu, with such a chirping, the Red Dragon rubbed against Faye. Anyway, like appealing to 'I miss this guy a lot'.
"... wonderful"
Seeing it, the prince stared at the Red Dragon as half-hearted... one step closer.
As soon as possible. Geez, the Red Dragon raised his swordswallowing voice.
Red Dragon strips fangs. And I glanced at the king. … the venue was again slightly, bothered by this appearance.
"Oops. Here. Don't get excited."
Seeing it, Faye stroked the head of the Red Dragon with a little joy.
"No, I'm sorry. He's a little familiar."
Faye said so, trying to hold the Red Dragon in.... Then the Red Dragon puts his head on Faye's neck muscle and starts pretending to be a completely 'people-familiar child'. Clever.
"Oh well. Cheng Cheng, I'm sure you're unfamiliar with a place like this..."
"Yeah. Whatever, this is the first time you've invited me to such a big party... see, you can go back now. Thanks."
Faye insignificantly brought the Red Dragon back into the gem. The Red Dragon once glances at the venue before returning to Faye's jewels.
"Hmm, right...... hmm"
... Seeing that, the prince thought a little... said.
"That arm that actually nostalgic the Red Dragon. And that auspicious luck that I've gotten from somewhere a warcraft that leaves its name only to the legend. Or blood muscles. … Hmm, the Red Dragon must have opened its heart because you are a man of goodness and enthusiasm"
"Ha. I don't have trouble getting bought up that way. It just so happens… I'm lucky, and I just feel comfortable."
Faye answers with a laugh. A little joking, but still, I'm not gonna throw up, like. That's what I feel like.
Hearing that, the prince nodded loosely...... said.
"Hmm. Interesting inside. Well... if someone like you could be the husband of my sister, the third princess Raj, I'd be relieved."
... Wow. I'm going to be so sorry if the Georens hear about it.
But as for Fay, I'm sure he's not happy... oh, no, I don't know.
Does Faye, after all, have an admiration for being tied to a princess? Or does it look like they're going to use the Red Dragon after all, and I don't like it?
What should I do? I haven't heard much about Faye's feelings.
...... but.
"Ha. Play. You shouldn't. Don't say that to someone like me. I'm going to be serious."
Faye said so and laughed brightly.... No, I laughed it off.
"I don't get along with it on me, but I sure hope the princess deserves it and that a wonderful man shows up. And you can also call me to the princess's wedding party.... of course, because it's fine at the edge of the attending seat!
Faye said that well enough.
... I mean, 'I don't care about that'? I don't know, that.
Though the prince looks a little shocked, Faye laughs openly and innocently. Yeah, no offense. That's the face.
"I hear the princess is beautiful. So, right...... you still deserve a man like Your Highness, or a legendary brave man!
"Oh well...... uhm. Right. Legendary, like a brave man... but also you."
"Oh, yeah! Speaking of legendary braves, the murals downstairs were so great! So much so that he didn't want to stay away from the wall..."
... That's when Faye said that while she elbowed about me.
Ah. Yeah.
"Oh? Is that..."
Because of my story, the prince moved his gaze to me.
... the prince pretends to be interested in me, perhaps exploring what I am.
The king who wants to get a fay to get the Red Dragon may be thinking of doing something about me to get a fay.
... The point is, it's not a very pleasant gaze. I hate this kind of gaze.
"Oh. He's our painter and my best friend. This is the funny guy inside... well, once to study, I thought I'd give you a tour of the royal castle."
Faye said that and pulled half a stride next to me to make me look like a prince...
... So I bow down a bit and pull the hem of Faye's clothes as I bow not to be rude.
"Hmm? What's up?
Faye bowed down a little and turned her ear to me.... so I say, lurk my voice, and the prince can hear me somehow.
"Well, hey, I'm getting sick..."
That's what I tell myself. [M] I am ill. I am ill. I am ill.
"Hey, you okay?
"Yeah......"
Nodding, he behaves like he's ill. My body's center of gravity is a little weird, my hands are a little cold, and I'm a little bloody sick. That's what it is.
"... a little pale, that's bad. Oh well. Then..."
Faye peeks into my face. [M] Of course, my complexion is probably not bad. But the prince doesn't know if the complexion of his hidden face with his forehead is really bad.
"I'm so sorry. You don't seem to be feeling well with me......!
Faye bows her head with a beautiful deed. It was a bow conveyed with a hint of willingness to 'know your disrespect'. I bow in imitation of that too.
... Then the prince on the boulder lost his pretext to hold us back any longer.
"Hmm. That shouldn't happen. You should use the break room."
"Thank you, Your Highness"
"Mm-hmm. Be sure to come back and talk to me"
While the prince seemed a little spared, he laughed and dropped us off, at least on the surface.
... so we could get out of the venue safely.
I left the venue and the next room was the break room.
I sat there on the couch, got some water, drank a little, and then Faye escorted me to rest for a while.
... I wonder if this was a good idea. In the meantime, I was able to escape from before the prince... but I wonder if he could have managed without me. Faye is good at talking.
By and large, are you glad you came out as if you were running away there? I hope Faye and the Redgards don't have a bad reputation.
"Okay. Well done, Togo"
"I guess so."
Faye said that in a small voice, sitting next to me, laughing.
"Now we can kill time until the end of the party, then we can go back to the proper guy and talk to him. So let's just relax here."
Faye says so and laughs... but I get a little worried.
"... that was pretty rude earlier, wasn't it? Wouldn't you be mad at me later?"
"Hmm? Well, that's good. Even if it's slightly disrespectful, I can't complain there any more than they told me there was a sick man. Besides, it's rude enough over there, isn't it? I've only seen the Red Dragon, those guys."
"As a Redgard family, okay?
When I asked him overlapping, Faye laughed... twitchy and happy.
"Mm-hmm. I've already talked to my dad, my brother, and the Red Dragon."
"I was glad the Red Dragon became my subpoena. But I knew that wasn't all. Me, my dad, my brother."
... Naturally. Faye and the others think a lot more about the Redgards than I do.
Even when the Red Dragon came out, naturally, you also knew what it would bring.
"There's only a dragon with a name left in the legend. There's no doubt he's good as a fighter, and he'll come out wanting to be a symbol of authority."
"Yeah."
It's coming out now.
I'm sure the prince does, and the people of the Geolen family, maybe, yes.... What's the matter, people like that won't be around anymore.
"... but. After all, I don't want to help you if you don't know what you're looking for, and I don't want to make the Red Dragon... the blood pride of the Red Gard family into some sort of symbol of authority."
That's what Faye said, holding his fist hard. At the same time, with his chest, the flame-colored jewels sparkle. It's like the Red Dragon inside responds.
"So don't say 'why do you need power'. They won't help you, and they'll shake all the people after the Red Dragon as a 'symbol of authority'"
"... well"
"Finally, I'm on the Red Dragon when I go shopping in the neighborhood or something to show that the Red Dragon is not an authority or anything, and it's often a Red Dragon in public!
Yeah.
... If there was a red dragon that was treated like a bicycle, I wouldn't really appreciate it. Indeed.
And if there was a red dragon that was trapped by people, I wouldn't look too great. Yeah.
"So both my father and brother have agreed to shake the guys who stopped by in the Red Dragon relationship. I don't mind that the Redgards are in a bad position. Now, no."
"... Um, does the Redgards have a bad reputation?
"It's not bad, but it's not good either. If you squeeze taxes out of the people and pay them to the royal castle, you'll remember better from the royal castle. You don't have to flatter the king until then. And thankfully, we're in the middle of the Spirit Forest. That's why we pay so little taxes. So you can't complain about it, and, well, you can't complain about it. You work to the point where you can't complain about it, so let's go."
The point is, the Redgards aren't trying to get liked by the royal castle people, I guess.
... Though I don't think it's a good idea to think like this even though I'm not sure about the royal castle, but, hey, I'm relieved to hear Faye say it.
"So there's nothing for Togo to worry about. It's all up to us."
"Yeah. Okay."
If that's the case, I'll use as much pseudosis as I want. Faye, too, should fully use me as an excuse.
"Well, I guess I'll get you a drink."
That's what Faye said and when she got up off the couch, she picked up a drink from something like a drink server that was provided in the break room.
Finally, he brought me my share. Thank you, I'll get a glass of drinks.
"It's a break room, but I kept it outside of the water. You did it.... Damn, when I was talking to His Royal Highness the Prince, I drowned my throat..."
Faye laughed as she said that, that was then.
... the door opened.
We mumble. Then I pretended to be ill...
... but it didn't have to be.
It wasn't the prince who opened the door and came in, it wasn't someone related to the royal castle... earlier, it was a woman like a work of art.
