The plain and unnoticed me is no more

The front yard, which can be seen from within the building that served as the venue for the evening party, was lined up with tall conifers on both sides, partitioning the space vertically for a long time. A lighted fountain stands in the middle, surrounded by beautiful cobblestones.

And in the uncovered part of the cobblestone, the lawn was lush, the luminescent stone exterior lamp and the topiary that cut the tree into the geometry of the cone and the triangle were placed symmetrically on the left and right, and the garden was certainly wonderful even when seen during the day.

When I got to the fountain, the area was very bright and Fred's face looked good. Of course, it was the same from the other people who came to see the fountain, and the couple who realized we were here bowed and went back to the night club.

Though I was concerned that the prince should not be disturbed, I felt somewhat sorry for forcibly evicting those who were clearly in a good mood.

"What do you think? How do you feel about what you've seen nearby?

"It's very beautiful. But you've made other people pay attention. I'm sorry..."

"Fufu... don't worry about it"

That's what Fred said and smiled. Then he took my hand and started walking around the big fountain. The light of the lighted fountain shines through the water below, creating a very fantastic atmosphere.

I understood how it felt for the couple to go to see the illumination. Sure, this will immerse you in a romantic mood. The rest will be quite different depending on who you share this impression with.

I remembered the people who are not here now.

I want to show Chiyo, Shin and Taki this sight. I'm sure everyone will be impressed.

I once again looked at the building that served as the venue for the night club.

I have probably come here as a child.

I came not at night, but during the day, so I had a completely different impression.

Not long before I went to school, I definitely asked my mother to attend the tea party to bring me to the royal palace several times.

It is because I was young, my memory is vague, and when I try to remember it forcibly, it becomes blurry, and I can't remember any more.

But now that I've seen that building that serves as a venue, there's a place I'm kind of concerned about asexuality.

I had a daydream when I was dancing with Fred.

It may have been the royal palace and that building that was the venue of the night club that I saw for a moment.

For me, who has already left the Duke's house, the time will not come for me to come any further, such as the opportunity to enter the grounds of the royal palace. If you don't get away now, there's no way to confirm it.

I knew it was impossible and wanted to ask Fred to go there.

I know you can't go anywhere else for security reasons.

Apart from the royal palace, that building, which is the venue of the night club, was built on the premises to hold night clubs and parties like this one, and a large and splendid royal palace can be seen behind it.

Even if the building that I saw in my daydreams became the venue of the night club, the position of the royal palace that enters the view is different due to the different places I am looking at.

I think I dreamed of a view beyond that coniferous forest.

"What are you looking at so seriously?

When I was silently staring at the night club venue over the fountain, Fred peeked at me to block it. When I was surprised and stunned, he laughed at me.

"Fuhahaha, I've never seen the General react like that."

"Call me Daria, not the general. There are still a few couples hiding behind the topic. What are you going to do if you hear me?"

"Fufu, nobody's listening. You can only see each other anymore. Besides, if you stay so far away, you can't hear a voice."

I knew by the time I got here that a couple of couples were talking about love in hiding in the topic. Even though he couldn't see, he could hear the giggles of the woman laughing and the low voice of the man, and the bottom of the dress was sticking out of the shade.

They don't seem to care about the presence of soldiers guarding the woods.

"Um... Fred"

"What's wrong?

"Well, what's beyond the forest on the right?

Fred seemed a little surprised at me asking an unexpected question, and for a moment he was agitated.

"Ah, there's a garden overlooked from the royal palace and a private place. Are you worried?

"Yes... I don't know if you can see it in the dark, but I'd like to see the flowering garden. But that's impossible... right?

I knew that I couldn't do it, so I asked her out of my mind, and after a while Fred nodded, saying that he had no choice.

"All right, all right. My younger brother bothered the General by telling her to do something like this. I'll take you special. There are also exterior lights on the other side so you can see the flowers. It's better to see it in the sun, but if we miss this opportunity, we won't be able to show it to you anymore."

He listened pleasantly to my wish that Fred might be scolded by His Highness later on for doing such a selfish thing.

I heard it and thanked it with an unexpected smile.

"Really? Thank you!

"Fufu... I didn't think you'd be so happy. Okay, let's go. This way."

Fred pulled my hand and walked into the woods more and more from a place where there was no light from the outside. The soldiers who were guarding us in front of the forest looked at us, but when Fred nodded lightly, the soldiers nodded back and let us through.

It was dark and I didn't know, but the depth was not as deep as the forest, and we were able to get out quickly. We were quickly spotted by soldiers walking around on the other side.

"Your Highness, what happened? This one is poorly guarded, so please come back. We will send it to you. Ah... this is rude."

The soldier who realized that I was behind Fred lowered his head and left immediately.

Apparently, something went wrong. They must think that Lord Wilfred is out of the club looking for a place to be alone with his partner tonight.

"Am I mistaken? We're out of the club....."

"Fu, is that so? I don't mind. Dalia has agreed to get out on the way out. No matter who she is, she doesn't care how others see her."

"It's cool... it's hard to live without worrying about people's eyes. I want to be."

Fred chuckled and pulled my hand and walked out.

In front of him was a vast garden that was well maintained. The exterior lights are moderately installed and there seems to be no place to hide in the dark.

But the place I wanted to go was deeper, and it was a place where I could see the side of the night club.

"Um, I'd like to see more of them..."

"Yeah? You can watch as you like. It's dark to say there's an exterior light, so watch your step."

Yes, thank you.

Fred gave me permission to walk freely. I walked away a little and then whispered to Weiss.

"Weiss, are you there?

(Yes, here)

"Maybe we'll find the place that came out of that dream."

(I hope that the seal can be removed. There were no dangerous people around, so please check carefully)

"Thank you."

While pretending to be watching the flowers, I began to move towards my destination little by little. The truth is, I want to run to find that place, but that would make me suspicious.

I was getting more nervous, and when I found the place, I was beginning to wonder what would happen to me.

"Ah! Be careful! There's a step!

Huh?

I heard Fred's voice and never fell on a dark, unsightly step, but I could hear the boy's voice in my head. And one scene that might have actually happened in this place flowed like a horse running lamp.

The view I saw was a dark night garden illuminated by an exterior lamp, but I saw a daytime garden with butterflies dancing in my eyes.

In front of me is that boy.

"Idiot, it's too shabby. I told you to be careful."

"It's too late to say! Gusu..."

"Hah... did you scratch off your knees? I'll cure you right away, so don't cry."

"I'll tell the maid to take care of me...."

"No! I told you I'd fix it! You just got here, and you want to go back to the Mansion?

The boy knelt at my feet and got his skirt without hesitation.

"No! Etch! What the hell are you doing?

Pacify

I was tapping the boy's cheek with my little hand.

"......! Shut up and wait! Come on, it doesn't hurt anymore, does it?

That said, the boy who sat on the ground as if he had lost his strength was held by a running servant and taken somewhere.

So the footage broke off, and I noticed happily that I looked around. That is the original dark garden, and of course the boy is not there.

What was that? Was that...? Here, when I was a kid, did I have that boy cast healing magic on me?

"What's the matter, General? Will you stop and keep walking?

Instead of doing anything, Fred came after me, caring for me, who had stopped and bothered.

"No... nothing. I'd like to see a little more of it."

"There's nothing there now. It's just a plaza where the lawn spreads."

"The square... Can I take a look?"

"Fufu, you're a strange person. Let's escort from here."

Fred put out his arm and walked out waiting for me to help him.

Fred, who walks next door, smiles every time he meets me, but I'm sure in his mind he wants to go to a place where he knows I have nothing to do with it, looking at my reaction.

It is because I am looking at Fred from here, but I know that Fred has checked with me many times.

Still, we didn't say what we were thinking of each other. Fred called out as he came to the lawn square.

"Look, there's nothing there, right? The gardener used to do a lot of hard work, but all the trees around him years ago were cut down, and this place was empty for when something happened. Are you done?

My heart beat faster than ever.

There was certainly nothing here. It's just so big that you can enjoy soccer.

But I see in my eyes a maze made of hedges. As before, the daytime view was double-dipped.

He turned his gaze from there to see the view behind him.

"Ah...."

There was no mistake. The daytime view, which seemed dusty, overlapped perfectly against the background of the night there.

If I had met her when I came with her, it's unlikely that she would have followed her mother to the tea party, just like me.

But I quickly understood that it wasn't. Because memories have come back with great momentum.

The encounter here is exactly what I dreamed of. And every time my mother was invited to a tea party, I was here playing with her. And the day I got engaged and came here happy to see him for the first time in a long time... he erased my memory without a word.
