The Queen’s Cosmetician

"It's boring," said Reina, sharpening her mouth in the carriage.

It's boring. It's boring. We need to get out of Del Ligeigeigeige as soon as possible.

"Reina, I was looking forward to seeing the ancient artworks of Del Ligeilia. Even in the city, I haven't been able to sightsee.”

"If you hadn't spoken too much, I wouldn't have had to rush out so much."

Sheila, are you angry?

"I'm just dazed..." I never thought I'd get out this early. "

I thought you'd be a little more quiet and act as a church envoy. At any rate, we are in danger. If he had gone as an envoy from Clan Have, he could have been captured as an important witness who had opened the line of battle with Perfilia. The skin of my neck is barely connected, and I am able to return home. The reason for this is simply that the Church of Our Lady, which we use as a shield, is powerful.

But that power is not universal either. There is a chance that the nations will agree to capture Reina by making the Church of Our Lady an enemy. The decision was made, and we must leave the country before the early horses reach the border of Del Ligueiria.

Has Sheila been able to work properly?

Reina asked with a slightly grimace.

Sheila nodded.

"I have confirmed the sign." It wasn't a castle, it wasn't a castle, it wasn't a castle, it wasn't a city on the outer edge, so I didn't know if I was watching. "

"Where is the outer edge?"

I'm afraid I don't understand.

We didn't have enough time to track them down.

Reina must have figured it out. Sheila's lack of work was not pursued deeply.

Instead, Reina smiled sharply.

Well, we still have to crush Del Ligeiria.

Reina said in a very plain voice that said, "You have to get rid of the sand before the sandstorm."

"Look, Sheila, maybe I shouldn't have been able to sightsee. I'm sure it would have been a shame to break it."

And the envoy of the church departed from the king's city, and Dai took Alvina, and the horseman of the guard, and went into the brothel of Asma.

Ostensibly, it is a regular visit to ask the faces of Asma and other civilian residents to take care of the industry.

The real reason for this is to visit the hidden Juno.

"I think Reina found out about me."

In Asma's study, Juno was drowning in a serious voice as he faced each other.

Die, who sat face to face with him, frowned and pursued.

“What do you mean?”

"That woman. Maybe she brought an ineka."... that's how I felt. "

Juno says that he and Ineka Ria-El can sense each other's existence from their relationship with the sorcery of the lace. Then, after a certain amount of time, the magic circle engraved on the body reacted as the location approached.

"...... The formation?"

This

Tightly, Juno shows a red tattoo that fills the left half of his face.

"It was on Ineka's face, too." The blue one. This is the magic circle of the laces. Something that connects me to Ineka. Not all of it, but more than half of it is a dazzling pretence of old age. "

"In other words... the mayor of Luglois came in to bring in the chairman and find you...?"

"Yes, I am. The Ineka told me to be free... but if I were Reina, I would have expected to find someone who could help the Ineka." Then, well, you and your queen are the best candidates. "

The country that was most indifferent to the power of the Holy Maiden was Del Ligueiria. Therefore, he was seen not to use Juno poorly. Reina made a similar prediction.

"I guess I didn't even see you and me connected."...... see me as present and try to find me. "

"A group of mayors from Luglois left the capital. Do you think I'll turn back again?"

"No, there's a nomad in the chapel of the church. If you see me, take me out. If you take me somewhere outside the capital, I'll pay for it. All you have to do is stick me out."

"I'll burst out..."

"If you're a clan have, when you exterminate a pest, you smoke it out..."

When you don't know where the insect is nesting in your house, burn it nearby. Bugs appear outside driven by smoke.

They're going to crush it.

Knowing what Juno was suggesting, Die shut up.

The laughter of the geishas arrives in the quiet room. The sound of string music is also mixed. An awkward melody stirs up the voice. Are we all practicing ease after work? They are spending their days brightly in this day and age.

I'm sick of it.

Juno apologizes.

"... this is your home, isn't it?" I'm sorry. Involve me. "

The die laughed.

"It was my decision to rely on this."

- You can take me home.

Ever since the die returned from Perfilia, Asma began to speak at every turn. I will not stick my neck into the work of the die, but I will tell you to the extent that it is not irresistible that it should be the choice to rely on.

The dangers were all woven in, and it was up to the die to help.

Juno groaned as he woke up to the die's answer.

If you want to apologize, don't run away?

"No, honestly, it helped me to escape to us."... thanks to you, I'm pretty sure you're on your feet. ”

Reina is going to be your special envoy, but they're still keeping Juno down. To take the lead in negotiations, it is better to have a lot of cards, at best, and he is one of them.

It is better than that he should rely on the kingdom of the church of the Holy Maiden, and that he should be presented to Reina without knowing his fate, and that a holy maiden should be born poorly.

"It's you and me."

"... let me know when you decide what to do with me." I will obey you. "

"Ok.... Alvy"

Die turned to Alvina, who was accompanying him.

Will they use magic tools to reveal Juno's whereabouts?

Blasting, for example. Smoke. Something that literally raises insects and rats. Even if a man could be mixed up in a disguise, if he could not bring the gunpowder into the capital, he could have brought the magic tool. It was easy to pass through the checkpoints by disguising them as decorations.

"There's a possibility."

She shrugged her shoulders as she stood with her back on the wall at the entrance of the room.

Is there something you can look for?

"You rely on magic?" Hmm, it's difficult. Even in the back streets, there's magic that's still working. There would also be a stone. Even if I didn't detect it, it was lost in the magic power of other magic tools. However, I think it would be better to clean up the place where the church envoy's entourage walked in the king's city. "

Ah, if I had some magic, I could narrow it down.

That's true, but the trouble is if you're giving someone something.

"... do you have any lurking companions?"

"No. No."

Die's guess was denied by Alvina.

"There must be a lot of inhabitants in the church before we split up the dwelling. What if I gave them something in the name of charity?"

"... can you let someone join you unconsciously?"

"That's a great answer.... you used to have a good hand." Let the child grasp the power stone and beg-- "

“I'll tell Asma.... it's faster to have them captured by the people who are taking on the displaced."

"That's right. What about the chapel?"

“On my way back, I was going to turn around and go home.”

The Envoy's footsteps hadn't been completed by the time they were discovered, but he still wanted to look around where they were known to have come from. To that end, I set aside a regular visit to the castle after the Special Envoy's visit.

(Thanks to you, I wasn't accompanying Mariage at today's Continental Congress...)

I wanted to be present as long as it suited my schedule.

The agenda is about Perfilia.

(... those guys...)

He is. His king is. The kind people who were in that country. And all the people of the pure.

(I'm not a sinner)

Now, the sound of a light knock on the door echoed, and the die was pulled back from my thoughts.

The man who came out of the door had sandy hair and gray eyes. An informant who tried to infiltrate Perfilia, leaving Del Ligeigeigeige.

Dadan!

Ugh.

"Thank goodness, you've returned safely."

"Oh, this morning. I'm glad we didn't have to cross paths."

Dadan pushed the door open with his shoulder. Die, who stood up to receive him, closed his eyes to the wrapping he held and hung his neck.

What is it, that package?

If it is a die, it is a package that must be held with both hands. At first glance, it seems like it was sent from a distance because of the tightly tied straps and the tight packaging with multiple layers of oil paper.

Daddy puts the package on the table between Die and Juno.

"It's for you."

To me?

"Yes--from" "Rowen" "

A continental conference that was suddenly revealed. The magic light ran on the magic tool board floating in the conference room without cutting it off. As if it were a thundercloud, it was obviously proof that the meeting was in disarray.

... you think Serenity-sama is a boy?

If it's true, you can't overlook it.

But is that enough reason to attack Perfilia?

If the people of Perfilia were defending Queen Serenity....

Mariage pressed her lips against her hands and let out a sigh.

The Queen of Perfilia is not a girl.

The story spread to the royals all at once. Reina Luglois didn't just tell Del Ligeiría. Politely, the Church of Our Lady met with the royal families of various countries and touched them.

This battle is a jihad.

It is certainly not the will of the Saintess to start a war without warning. However, the patronage of Clan Haive over Perfilia is in keeping with the will of the Holy Maiden. "

We can't leave Perfilia alone to avoid repeating the fault of Ashburn, the last king of the Maisenbourg, who arrived on the throne, took the curse, destroyed the motherland, and submerged this western beast in a time of chaos.

“I'd like to ask you a few questions.”

Mariage raised her voice.

Beyond the table, the floating board surrounded by the magic phosphorus was silent.

First of all, is there really a curse?

Of course...

"By the way, what I'm asking is the source of the curse: when a boy reaches the throne, he will perish."... there is a curse in this world. Yeah, sure. There is also a curse that will destroy the country. That's the truth, too. "

I checked with Alvina as she descended to the castle with the die.

Is there a curse in this world? I wonder if there are cases where the country is cursed.

"One day," she said.

Curse is, in essence, one of the classification names of magic. A highly permanent technique that disadvantages the opponent. This part of permanence may refer to the front or back of the opponent. A boy dies when he is on the throne. In this case, the boy is considered to be permanent when he is tied to the throne. It's just a kind of magic. "

Then, where is the technique? What can you do if you unlock it?

”Die asked. Alvina returned a bitter smile.

In a nutshell, that's true, but it's a different story whether or not it can be used for surgery. When sorcery burns a magic formula into a person's consciousness or bloodline, the visible magic formula disappears. For example, if you enter the water, you die. Yes, a strong consciously baked vessel may stop its inherent magic and die at the same time when it enters the water. For example, the curse that says a boy dies when he reaches the throne is that way. If you're really cursed. "

Is that why the country is destroyed...?

Nothing at this stage. But there are certainly cases where the country is cursed. In this world, the curse of God is laid like a lineup. That's the truth. The unwavering truth.... but I don't know if the curse of the beast in the west belongs to me. "

However, if the curse is so great that the kingdom is doomed, there is an old saying.

In other words, the Lord God dropped a thunderbolt of iron hammer on each settlement's daughter who had stolen the treasure, and the land became a desert in the future.

In other words, the beginning witch put a curse on her betrayed lover.

Etc.

"When the boy reaches the throne, the country will be destroyed. It is said to be the curse of the saintly lady, but I do not know why there is such a curse in the oligarchy. The Saintess Cynthia would not have cursed someone."

... Mariage-sama said that it was okay for a boy to take the throne?

“I'd like you not to jump at my question and interpret it.”

And Mariage put it to the Queen of Zekst.

“I'm just expressing my doubts.... is it really true that just because a boy reaches the throne will destroy the country?"

It is really a matter of taking more time to argue. The roots of the country will be shaken if it is said that a boy may easily become a king. It does not mean that there is no such thing as a queen and my king. Like Bayram Gertrude, who was born as a younger brother and showed his obsession with the throne.

Because of the danger, Dietrich's suggestion at the first Continental Conference that men should not be placed on the throne also became a shelf.

(... you didn't say secularism, but you really wanted a man to be on the throne, did you?)

Of course, Mariage knew that Serenity was a boy, not to mention Reina. Sometimes he is the real Ditrout Yerni. Who is this man called Ditraut Yerni? Everything that they had to do, and that the predecessor queen of Del Ligeiría, Eilene, had refused to give asylum to their sister Serenity, has been heard from Die.

The only things I can do are talk to Rodimus and Asses and Alvina. I was wondering if I could talk to the commanders, but the mage who spoke to me first shook his head and said that he did not want to be involved in the troublesome secrets that were endangering him, and the die also showed a difficult color, so I kept it confidential.

Perhaps the die only wanted to talk to the Mariage, but in order to devise a plan to support Perfilia, it had to talk to Rodimus.

Yes, if the weakness of Perfilia's foundation was due to the fact that Serenity was a boy, she was starting to talk about supporting it from the outside.

(Even though that woman)

Mariage continued to speak to the meeting attendees as she knocked Reina's cheeks back and forth in her head.

"There is certainly an example of King Ashburn, but Lord Serenity's position is longer than mine. Why didn't you perish in the meantime?”

... didn't you swap in halfway?

If they switched, wouldn't they notice?

Isn't that why you're hiding it in your country?

I don't know.

A young voice interrupted her mouth.

The youngest queen of Zemnam, Axelina.

"The church is slaughtered because it is still alive, because it will die anyway. Yes, I see it.... I don't know if it's cursed or not. Isn't that... rambunctious?

"... that's right."

Mariage nodded with a smile.

When we first met, Akselina was only six years old. It would be a good idea to sit at this difficult meeting. The old Mariage is crying and throwing books. Honestly, I still want to kick the chair.

However, Axelina must have properly stretched her spine and taken her seat, chewing the story somehow, and not leaving it to the Chancellor, the Queen. I could see it.

"I think that the Saintess Cynthia fought all the time, but she didn't do such a violent thing. I can't help but to curl around. Because I heard that Cynthia was the one who gave herself so that everyone would be at peace."

The Holy Lady, who has set up the Red Land, prays to the devil for the peace of her children, and deposits herself in the land of the birds.

As everyone knew, Axelina went on with the final passage of the Magic Duchy's founding history.

'It is only natural for someone to die, but he cannot be loved by the Lord God.... even if Serenity-sama was a boy and cursed, I don't want you to be a saint. I don't want it to be a church claim. "

Reina Luglova said she was going to be a saintess.

The man does not support her claim.

Even if indeed the Holy Maiden descends through her.

The silence comes to Axelina's opinion.

Agree or disagree with the views of the Church of Our Lady.

What do you do if you disagree?

Nothing was decided, and the meeting resumed until the evening.
