The Queen’s Cosmetician

Dietrich was looking through the transcripts the soldiers brought in. It was about Reginald Chamberlain's torture. A summary of the information that Reginald spit out was that another soldier had already taken it outside, some of it in an underground safe.

"Well done. You go with me."

"My lord..."

"When you enter the aisle, crush the entrance. Do you understand me?"

The soldier, hesitant to follow Dietricht's orders, looked back at the throne. Serenity did not try to move sitting down. I just laughed and called out, "Watch out for the three soldiers who showed up with the report."

Helmut has deliberately sent three of his best men here, even though he has told us in advance that he does not need to report the results of the torture. I understand the meaning of the act, but I wanted the elite of the orphan who he supported as much as his grandchildren to escape quickly. Beings who can work for Perfilia's future are precious.

"Old Sagan, please."

Helmut leaves the city with Reginaldo and appears before the proper authorities. He himself may be endlessly tortured. Maybe I'll die before that happens.

I don't know, because he left without telling me how he was going to take responsibility for the mastermind who had the false queen on the throne.

It's just that we're not going to move from here.

The soldiers bowed politely to themselves and left.

There is a small explosion beyond the wall. The entrance to the hidden passage must have broken down as ordered.

Serenity leaned over the throne and exhaled.

"Now... why do you think Zemnam got on board?"

"... chasing the radicals of the Church of Our Lady or invading Perfilia"

"I see.... from the report just now, it seems that Reina set up the [Pillar of Light], but it would be reasonable if it was to crush us together with the radicals that he pulled from Chamberlain who were connected to it."

The unsupplied ship in the port has Zemnam as its home port. Tsubaki patrolled the perimeter with a magic spell, checked the uniforms of the disembarked soldiers, and judged. She is leaving the room to fly her magic again.

From Zemnam's point of view, it would be inconvenient for us to exist.

"It's not like a man has been a queen for years and nothing happened..." If you're bad, you'll break the zemnum. "

As far as Ditrault knows, Zemnam is divided between the Axelina sect, the current queen, and the Abascal sect, the blood of the Sairies. The latter, claiming that the Queen should be the daughter of the blood of the Holy Maiden, the thick blood of the Maisenbourg, moves to keep away the young Axelina, who is slightly thin from the royalty of the generations that were slaughtered in the civil strife and is still less than ten years old.

If a man is not cursed even when he reigns, it is Axelina who wants to keep the Abbascal sect off the throne first. If a "man" was closer to the royal family than she was, he would be in Zemnam. The fact of Perfilia is unwelcome to the country's prime minister, who for some reason was obsessed with the reign of Axelina.

I thought Sairies would hate the debt to invade this place.

Perfilia is the northernmost point of the continent. In contrast, Zemnam was the opposite. Remote domination requires money and labor.

"The fact that the Chamber of Commerce and Industry sent out a ship during the invasion caught me." Perhaps it is solely for the purpose of capturing us. Whatever it takes, let's hope she treats the civilians who are still in the city humanely. ”

"That's right.... but it's still too late..."

The clamors and explosions of the people fighting are intermittent.

Ditrout searched his pocket. There is a tablet made by Tsubaki. It destroys the life and memory of a person who took a single capsule about half a minute later.

Would you like to take your medicine first?

"... no, I want to wait for your report...!"

I don't know what to do if I make a rumor. Tsuji suddenly appeared from the hidden door on the side of the room. Serenity stood up and stopped moving.

My husband's expression is strange just because he has returned. I was frozen in amazement.

Dietrich turned back to his face.

Then, in amazement, he cried out unexpectedly.

"I told you not to come!"

“Please make your message a little more useful!”

Die shouted back unexpectedly. It was because I remembered that the message I purposely sent to the branch manager of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry was too poor.

(Finally, we met)

Gently, the relief spreads to your chest.

Serenity and Detrout. The king of Perfilia sat on the throne, and the prime minister beside him, and received him with a uniform look of surprise.

Detraut rushed down from the podium and clung to the shoulders of the walking die.

"Why are you here!?"

"It's a job."

"Work!?"

"That's right, Prime Minister... may I speak to your king?"

The die looked up at Detrout with its neck bent. He seems to have regained some composure. Release your hand from the die's shoulder.

And Dai took an official bow unto the king of the throne, and knelt there. Leave the greeting unanswered and state your position quickly.

"I would like to pay tribute to His Majesty Serenesti Yerni Perfilia. I apologize for this. Del Ligueilia, as the [National Chapter], received his life from Mariage Mizwieri Del Ligueilia, and came as a messenger in the name of the Continental Conference."

"... a messenger from the Continental Conference?"

Yes.

Die nodded to the bewildered face of Serenity and tried to explain it repeatedly to the people involved.

"--The aspirations that we shared about the peace of the" "Beast of the West" "in Little Scandinavia have remained the same." The countries that participated in that meeting - Delrigueir, Zemnam, Doppelgum, Clan Haive, Donfan, Farril, and Zekst - do not want Perfilia to fall into disillusionment. Queen Serenity is a man. Perfilia's bad reputation, which the Church has spread, may be attributed to the malicious intentions of the radicals of the Church, and the nations would like His Majesty's inquest not through the Church. ”

"That's......"

"Even if Perfilia had a false queen, Her Majesty said that she wanted to find a way to solve the problem, not just shoot it down, Ding-sama..."

Die clenched his fist and looked up at the man who attacked his sister's name.

"We are here to help you. The ships in the harbor are boarded by the Queens of the world, and the soldiers are here to help quell the mob that is attacking you. For now, escape with me from here. Until the soldiers secure this royal castle. Living for Perfilia's tomorrow. I have been sent to tell you that."

With all she needed, Die waited for the reply of King Perfilia.

And he drew his mouth against him, and said, Unbelievable.

"Until you bend the teachings of the Church and you help us?"

"Of course, plotting for the Queen's throne is a great sin." You will be punished accordingly. However, we will never make a unilateral plea. I will never bury you in the dark! Please--Just run away together..... "

Die closed his eyes tightly and rubbed his head on the carpet.

"Believe me...!"

"... lift your head up."

Would you run away, please?

"... Brother"

Detrout, apparently under the direction of the king, pushed one knee beside the die. Die's arm caused physical pain.

A man's sinister face enters his sight.

"... did you come here alone?"

"No, but I got out of turn when the mob attacked." I asked Zeno how to get here. I saw you on the way..... "

"... even if you weren't alone, you're a makeup artist." Who chose you as their messenger? "

"I volunteered."

It was the life of Mariage, but it was similar.

For a moment, the die answers with Detrout.

"... what are you thinking!" You want to die! "

I'll just give you that word back!

Die grabbed Ditrault's collar and shouted.

"Why didn't you send someone stronger!?" I'm sure it's because you didn't believe me! I didn't even make a statement asking for help. Just accept your sins and don't try to come out. I believe the outside world can't help me. ”

They used to ask for help outside. You can be a queen when you lose all the girls. When I was in the hands of a ruined country. Before you lose everything.

Please, even for a short period of time, will you allow the boy to be the lord of the country? If it does, help the magicians and provide food so that the people won't suffer from winter and starvation.

Not just to protect their sisters.

It was Del Ligueiria who threw it out. I know. They don't believe in other countries anymore. And the hand of salvation is poured out repeatedly, and they are despairing, and sinning, and sinking in the mud when it is uncovered.

"An unknown messenger came, do you believe him? The queens of other lands want to help Perfilia. To fall, to invade, to look upward, don't you think? You will!? Because you are so sadly clever!"

The die shook the chest of the man who grabbed it.

"That's why I'm here!" I wish you all the best in the world to live, I am Heath, your lover, I am!! "

The lower lip was bitten and the die drooped. The tears that stood on his face suddenly fell and stained the carpet.

The hand of a man overlapped the hand of a strong die grabbing his clothes.

"... I should have sent a letter to another messenger."

“No. Is that going to change your mind about the letter?”

"I will listen to your opinions."

“You're just asking for your opinion. I won't listen to that. It's the same as declaring that you will be the first to persevere."

“You don't know that, do you? If things change, I'll change my mind.”

"But you and Din-sama haven't answered my questions yet, have they?" Basically, it's not like I'm going to risk my life. How hard do you think it was to get here? I ran all the way with my horse, and I couldn't get my meal properly, and it was all cold in the camp, and neither of you spared your lives to escape. Mariage, who boiled the food, told me to drag it in. If you can tell me that you are a makeup artist, please do your best to provide me with a place where I can do my job. Please take your life seriously. B-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b

"You can't help it." If I were alive, it would be inconvenient. "

"You're just tired of thinking, aren't you?" You promised to come back to me when it's all gone, you liar! "

That's...

"Both of you... you can talk crazy in this situation a lot...?"

Serenity interrupted the die's conversation. Passing through the daze, he is laughing from above. The man who had moved beside him at some point also had strangely slimy eyes. No matter what kind of situation I faced, I didn't move my expression very much, but I never saw a person expressing an expression so explicitly.

"Your Majesty, we are not."

Ahhhh, brother, just shut up for now.

Serenity waves her hand at the thrower, and Serenity asks the die.

"Let me check."... you're here to save us. Is that all right? "

Yes.

When the die instantly nodded, he smiled.

I immediately shifted my gaze to Detraut.

Prime Minister

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"You take her away." We're safe. "

Ditrout's face frowned at the pale command.

"... what are you going to do about it, Your Majesty?"

"I thought of the last thing to do. That's why we're going the other way."

Is it something you should do alone?

"You can do it on your own.... the people who remain in the King's City will suddenly be puzzled by the soldiers who have boarded from other countries." It is my duty as king to reassure everyone that they are not invaders. Even if the people attacked the soldiers from Zemnam by mistake and the rescue plan turned into an invasion. I'll declare it so it won't be a futile fight. "

Die lost his words after being pointed out for something unexpected. It is likely that the people of the city, who were willing to come to the rescue but did not know the circumstances, misunderstood that the invaders had come. Even at night, they just don't move, and when it gets brighter, civilians who are hiding may also take their weapons. There could be many casualties in a riotous battle.

Someone on Perfilia's side needs to explain the situation to everyone.

I'll come with you.

“What about her? You're taking him? I'm the messenger who came all this way to tell you what happened. You should send it politely."

Serenity kicked Serenity's assertion of Detrout's, which was permeated even by impatience.

"Heath"

And the king summoned the man who was the prime minister.

The man who borrowed his name from the king looked up at the throne with a face more shocked than ever before.

"Detrout" gently tells the battered man.

"It's okay, I can talk on my own." I can do it properly. There is magic in the loudspeaker, but it is accompanied by a loud voice. "

Me too.

No!

He stood up and blocked the man's words.

I rose from the throne and screamed.

"Do you know what I have to say!?" I don't need you anymore...! "

The man's hand holding the die's hand trembles.

His face is crooked.

Silently, he shook his head to the side and dropped his hand against the carpet.

Finding no words to put on, Die touches her lover's shoulder.

He was crying.

"... Cynthia"

"... yes"

The die looked up at the podium.

The man dressed as a queen laughed.

“Can you give me your name? No, I know. I'd like to hear it again from your mouth."

"-Diana. Diana Cetra."

"Diana... Diana. The name of the moonlight in the dark." Thank you. I thought there was no more salvation. I was happy with your thoughts. "

Din-sama.

"I don't want to die in vain anymore, like I was thinking before you came. But I have work to do. [M] I still have this country in my custody. I have to do it in my sister's name. You know that. [M] I mean, you carry a national seal, too."

"Go," he said.

"Diana, congratulations." I pray that your future will be warm. - Heath, brother! Do you mind if she dies? "

Heath raised his face to the bowl coming down from the podium.

He was not crying anymore. He kneels properly and narrows his eyes in daze.

My lord the king is thou alone, always.

Yeah.

"I'll give you your name."

Yeah.

"I was happy to serve you."... I'll see you someday. "

Heath rises and causes the die.

Ditrault tells him to take the die's hand and cross the room.

"Thank you, Heath, for keeping me company."

Laughing again, he waved his hand.

Confirming that Heath had come out of the concealed door, Detraut looked back.

"I'm sorry, till the end."

“There's no need to apologize anywhere. I am the Shadow of the Queen. Shadows will always accompany you.”

That's right.

A sorcerer created with a Mazenble that can [top paint] a figure. She was always there for a long time as an indispensable presence for Queen Perfilia to impersonate her gender.

Kaoru held out her hand and gave a faint smile.

"Let's hurry up." If you want to bring the voice to all of the capital, you must climb to the top of the tower quickly. "
