The Queen’s Cosmetician

Die and Rodimus heard the end of what had happened in Perfilia and the suggestion to the man who was Dietrich Yerni.

Live as you rebuild Perfilia in Del Ligeigeigeigeia. However, in principle, they cannot have contact with persons from their home country. Especially people like Zeno who know Ditraut well.

― ― Heath replied to the Chancellor, asking him to think about it.

When Heath woke up, it was said that half a month had passed since the mob attacked the Royal Castle of Perfilia.

At that time, he had already been transferred to Del Ligueiria, but there was almost no explanation from the surroundings, and the room was locked up. Since the view from the outside is only visible from the courtyard, it seems that Heath could not identify the location and thought that it had been moved to Little Scandinavia.

Even if we finally reunite with the die, if Helmut Sagan travels to the Land of the Bothered, and is told that Serenity-The real Ditraut and his shadowed helmet are still alive and dead with bloodstains left behind, and will soon work for Perfilia in Delgigeiria, then I can't say yes.

Die wanted to wait for Heath to come back. But I couldn't express my joy openly.

What Heath had lost had been with the die for almost half a year.

Helmut Sagan was so fashionable that he didn't think he was a soldier. Back in Perfilia, Die talked a lot with him about Serenity's costumes and decorations. Grandpa, he called the die and adored me like a grandson.

With the missing Ditraut. Die served the former as an officer. He wore makeup, costumes, and fought with him against ill health. Since Tsubaki and I were rotating personnel, we had little conversation, but we were subtly caring for and protecting the die.

When I think of them, even the die clogs my chest.

Not to mention that Heath has already killed his family, murdered his mentor, and this time he has lost something even closer.

If you eat the conditions presented by Rodimus to Heath, even if you survive, you will not meet Zeno, who was a close friend, or the guards, servants, or anyone who wanted Heath as their master.

I remember Yuma.

When I lost her. Except for the fact that she was the one who put her to death, the loss was enough to make the die desperate.

Heath looked at the sky blurry every day. It was perhaps the first time in a long time that he had spent in vain.

Unless he decides otherwise, he cannot leave the room in which he is imprisoned. Die saw the gap and went to see him, spending the maximum time allowed next to him. Tidy up your paperwork, read a book, or tidy up your makeup tools.

I don't give a shit unless he tells me the story. Any topic would feel empty, and I was afraid to have a conversation and be cut out of something decisive.

I only asked once. I was wondering if it was okay to stay beside me.

He nodded quietly and grabbed the die's hand hard.

Then, a calm day lasted about a month.

It was raining lightly that day. The weather is unusual during the flower season. A thin thread of rain was wetting the outside in the morning, postponing the garden parade that was to be attended, and I finished my work a little earlier and visited Heath's room.

He invited the die in, sat next to him on the bed, and said in a quiet voice.

"-You can go back to your hometown."

Heath grabs the stiff hand of the die and continues.

"For one day, Alvina said she'd take me with her." I have given your queen and the Chancellor my permission. "

"...... my home town......"

"At the foot of the mountain."

The field of Heath?

"Yes, sir."

Remember, Heath smiled.

It can't be forgotten. It was his first time telling the story of his hometown. I heard at that time that his name was taken from the names of the flowers that flock to his hometown.

What does he do when he returns home?

The sweat is bleeding in the hand that is connected to it.

Heath asks the die who tried to back off because he didn't want to make sense of it.

Diana, will you follow me?

"... do you mind if I follow you?"

I'm asking you something.

"Yes, of course! I'm going, with you!"

Die replied in a breath. Heath muttered, "Thank goodness."

"Well, I'll talk to you tomorrow." I'm sure you'll be able to tell us your schedule. ”

"I see... Heath"

What is it?

”... can I squeeze it?”

He rolled his eyes and gently smiled, grabbing the die gently.

Die turned his back and listened to the sound of his heart.

The sound of rain gets farther.

To be honest, I don't like rain.

--It seems like I'm going to be cut out, and I'm scared.

The next Sabbath, when Heath and his homeland were spoken of, the dyes dressed first thing in the morning. Lightweight clothing for walking around the city, small items such as portable food and water. And it's a little bit of money. As she assembled in Heath's quarters and gave a good command, Alvina shifted the dice and transported them to Heath's homeworld.

The place of arrival seemed like a watering hole at the office of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Heath is stunned by the landscape of towns and towering mountains nearby, and the gentle hills where sheep graze.

From the Royal Castle of Del Ligeiría to the town near the border with Perfilia, it turned out that it was definitely an instantaneous journey.

It's too insane!

"No, that's true..."

Die agreed with Heath.

It seems that about 80% of the magic she dealt with has been obsolete for a long time. It seemed that she was a Royal Palace magician for the remaining 20%, but she was no longer reluctant in front of the die who knew about her situation, so it was crazy to get used to it.

"Well, I'll be around in the evening." At least, I'm in town ”.

Alvina gave Die a power stone to call her if anything happened. It is a power stone for communication.

She shook her loose trio of braids, sang her song, and disappeared into the midst of the city.

Heath groaned as she stared in that direction.

"... I was wondering if it would take me about half a month. in the sense that your stay is a day."

Ah, is that why you bothered to ask me for permission?

"That's right... you must have a job." I've heard from your escort that travel is strictly forbidden because of your physical condition. Still, I wanted you to come with me. "

Is it okay for the two of you to be alone? Heath murmured suspiciously, saying that he was watching.

"It's okay!" It's like I'm watching. "

For the time being, Heath was still in the custody of the die. When the queens decided to transfer him to Del Ligeiría, Mariage promised to entrust someone she trusted to the caretaker and named him Die.

And if you just state the facts, there's nothing sexy about it.

Die shook Heath's hand and insisted.

"I-I 'm happy." It's the first time that only two real people have had sex! "

Precisely when they traveled together in Perfilia.

Mizwieri assumed that someone would come in suddenly, even though they could only talk to each other at work. Visits to each other's rooms were unequal.

In the Royal Castle of Del Ligueiria, there is an escort. Even when the die is spending time with Heath alone, the guard listens outside the room. Moreover, they regularly peek at the state of the die. As for paying attention to the safety of the die, until then, I am convinced that there is no choice, but I do not feel rested. I can't tell you anything uncomfortable.

Heath rarely touches dies.

Maybe it's the Die's guards. Maybe not.

That's why I was always anxious, and I was glad to hear that you wanted me to follow you.

Heath releases the die's hand and tangles his fingers again.

With her free other hand, she drew the die's shoulder and clasped it to the top of her head.

Huh!

"That's right... it's just the two of us." If you don't enjoy it, it's a loss. "

He laughed and said, "Let's go."

But wherever I went, I didn't say what I wanted to do.

The town of Heath's hometown was narrower than I had imagined.

"When Lord Adeleid reigned, it was even more prosperous and spacious."

Heath called it a civil strife that alienated a lot of people. The remaining people moved from the outer edge of the city to the center with all the facilities, and the buildings that were no longer inhabited decayed and the city became a town.

It's the Queen's home. If it were true, it would have been more prosperous, but the Heaths did not come under direct jurisdiction, and they deliberately annexed the next territory. Less people coming and going. The past of Yerni's siblings is dug up unwelcomely, so that the existence of Heath's half-brother is not revealed.

"...... Maybe everyone knew it, faintly."

Who is the man whose only Queen of Perfilia stands as Chancellor?

The people did not complain to the town that was getting numb. I heard it was harsh on the rest of the people. Although the budget for food and firewood was more than in other territories, they apparently continued to protect their own livelihoods with care.

The town was small, but not rough.

The two stone floors are arranged in a row. The open-air merchants also stood and saw men pulling horses and women washing their clothes next to the fountain. The inn is one of a kind. The old man and a man with one leg cut open at the cafeteria seat were stacking a number of cards. There are young children underfoot. I'm not playing, I'm babysitting.

Books, clothes, and entertainment items such as games are also found in stone shops, and there are remnants that once flourished as the center of the frontier territory.

It's a peaceful town.

On the other hand, it doesn't diminish the masculinity. Of course, I was at war with Clan Have until recently. A local soldier with a weapon stands here. Obviously, the eyes of the dies that can be seen as coming from the outside are also harsh. With two young men and women walking hand in hand, I felt left alone.

The dies left the town. The road is a gentle ascent. At both ends, decaying houses and warehouses are revealed.

"My house was around there."

Heath pointed beyond the water wheelhouse by the bridge.

Buried in shrubs and grass, it's dotted with stone roofs.

You can't go there, can you?

The road is buried in the grass. There is a creek hidden in the grass around here, so it is said that it is dangerous to go without clear roads.

Cross the bridge and climb the hill. There were traces of a mansion buried in green and burnt down.

Heath headed straight for the old chimney, which was still standing in front of the sky.

He stuck his knee in front of the fireplace without hesitation.

Dig up the holes in the crumbling fireplace and start exploring the surrounding grass.

"Is there something...?"

"No..."

Heath rises.

Heath laughed as he lightly poured out the soil.

“No, nothing.”

(... I should have had it)

If his master is alive.

When we were separated, we were supposed to leave each other with clues.

Heath repeated with a bitter smile.

"... I didn't have it."

"... um, Heath"

"Hey, there you two!"

The voice of an unknown man made the dies look back toward the city.

At some point, the townsman and the man he thought were walking up to him.

Years are about the same as Heath's. They looked at each other and dressed themselves.

"You... Heath"

Aron

The man who was called Aaron was a man in a hat. Rather than being merely a townsman, he is dressed firmly, with a firmer face. As he ran under Heath, he slapped his arm.

He was crying crunchily.

"I'm glad... I'm glad... I heard you're alive." If you can come back, come back sooner! "

"I'm sorry... there's a lot going on. How do you know I'm alive?"

Do you know who Daddy is?

Is that Daddy?

Aaron looked at the die that spoke up unexpectedly.

Then I saw Heath's face.

"Uh, maybe you're the younger sister that Da-dan was talking about, who became heathy."

"Um... maybe."

In the sense that it's roughly right, Die replied.

"You've been reunited!"... don't look alike. "

"My mother is different."

At the same time, my father was different from Daddy, but I kept silent because it would be confusing.

Heath is frowning at what he's talking about.

Later, Die whispered to him in a whisper. When Die was in Perfilia, D'Adan came here on Mariage's orders to explore Heath's past. I was totally lost to it.

Aaron exhaled deeply as he wiped the back of his hand around his eyes.

"Oh, we're celebrating today."... can you stay longer? "

"No, we have to leave in the evening."

"Is that so?" I'm sorry... but I'm glad I did. You're safe, too. Bonnie must be making a fuss. "

“Just a moment.”

Heath blocked Aaron's words with a sharp voice.

What am I, too?

The die also noticed what Heath suggested.

Those who worked in Yerni's museum are dead. With the exception of Heath and Dietricht, there was no one left.

Aaron opens his mouth in bewilderment.

Heath silently asked him to lend her a horse.

Heath took the die out of town.

He climbed north along the mountain and counted some of the lozenges along the way. Count two farmhouses, now to the west. Running horses towards the mountains. On the way, take a break for lunch.

The hill was decorated with green, yellow and purple. The flowers of the Heath were shimmering like a sea field in the wind.

Green suddenly appeared in the midst of it.

There were several apple trees growing unscathed.

With a horse leash in front of him, Heath pulled the die's hand and went back.

There were bouquets of flowers.

A small bouquet of wild weeds underneath the apple petals.

Here's Serenity.

Heath knelt and touched the bouquet.

The bouquet is a little withered. However, some of them were rustic.

It's not what I've been offered today. But a few days ago, someone came here and offered flowers.

To the grave of the real Serenity, Serenity Yerni, Serenity Yerni.

Under a mere apple tree, invisible as a tomb.

"Only I, Klaus, and Lord Din know this place. I don't even know it."

Die took a breath when he realized what the word meant.

Heath stands up, silent, and looks down at a bouquet of flowers swaying in the wind.

"...... Would Heath like to go find Din-sama?"

Dietrich Yerni is the king, master and brother of Heath.

He was also an accomplice who dragged his bow along with his faith. Unique, equal to half-body.

If it's possible that he's alive, I'd like to find him. When Die was in Perfilia, he wanted to find the missing Mariage.

Will that make you happy?

Heath didn't say anything to the die's enquiries.

Die thought the silence was an affirmation.

Die smiled.

"If that's what you really want to do....."

Diana

"I am..."

Heath has always respected the happiness of the die.

The night of the thunderstorm, he left me because Die chose Mariage. Even in Perfilia, he fulfilled the Die's wish to return to Del Ligueilia.

Staying beside you is not all about love. I thought I should let go of this hand if I wanted his happiness and freedom. Life in Del Ligueiria must be cramped. He is subject to many constraints. Forced.

So, just like he ever did for me.

I don't know what I'm doing.

The die shook its head to the side.

"No, I'm not. I knew it."

Die grabbed Heath's hand and bowed down. She complains in a trembling voice.

"Don't go, Heath. Don't go. Live with me. Because I will be your family. I will make your family, please."

I don't think Heath loved himself.

Even though he loved him, he let go of his hand twice.

Oh, how could he have done such a thing?

I wonder how you felt, knowing that you had to let go of your past one day, but still reaching for your salvation.

I can't do it. I can't let go of these thoughts that he might be unhappy.

I chose Mariage.

What a selfish thing to say.

"Don't go, Heath..."

It's okay.

Heath gently wipes the die's cheeks. He whispered as he wrapped the face of the die with his hands.

“Do you know? I'm weak when you cry. I'm sorry to have to spend so much time worrying about whether you're crying or not.”

"...... Are you sure you're not going anywhere?"

"Yeah, I was going to do that from the beginning."

The die snorted and blinked. I blame him with a little anxiety.

Then please say it sooner!

"Your anxious face is so cute...!"

Die left to his anger and pounded his fist into Heath's belly. They didn't seem to be ready. Leaving him with his belly on his knees, Dai stepped towards the horse and walked.

Heath's Baba Baba Baba!

"Noo... wait!"

I don't know!

"Damn..."

“That's what I'm trying to say!”

Heath catches up and hugs the die's body from behind. I can't take it because my anger comes out from my mouth on my head.

At the very least, they sharpen their mouths as a protest.

Heath giggled.

"I love you, Diana."

From above my head, a loud voice came down.

"As you can imagine, if Master Ding were alive, there would be something left in that fireplace." At least that's what I wanted to check. But there was nothing there, but flowers in the tomb of the Lord Sele. That's enough. "

"... why?"

“We have lived in dependence in what can be called a small box yard. Din-sama meant me to live. But I also think it cornered him."

Heath confessed that Dietrich didn't want to be a lord.

"She wanted to be a scholar. Love books and visit strange places that are listed there. I wanted to do that. But he didn't throw away the Lord's responsibilities. It's for Serenity and me."

A child made by the husband of Lord Adelaid with a former lover. Heath, who looked too much like the next lord, was overwhelmed. At least, Heath herself, who was a child, thought so, as did her half-brother, Dietrich.

Dietrich tries to become Lord in order to get a place in Heath. For him, his half-brother was the representative of the people to bear. Leaving the man alone, Dietricht couldn't escape.

"He is free from me." And they brought down the wishes of the dead from their shoulders, and made them nothing. If I believe in their survival and search for them, the story that your queen has given them will be in jeopardy. Best of all, if I throw you out, you'll be pissed off. To everyone. "

Ditrout said the last thing. Celebrate your future. It was a sloppy word for Diana and Heath.

"I have finally gained the freedom to love you."

"... Heath"

"Just as expected, I couldn't instantly organize my mind about Din-sama and the others." I was good at it, and I couldn't even say a word. In vulgar terms, it must have made you unnecessarily uneasy. I'm sorry I didn't say anything. ”

Heath asks quietly.

"... will you come with me?"

Silently stepped out of his arms, and Die held the man back from the front.

"I love you, Heath. Diana Cetra is yours.”

"... ahh, finally, it's mine."

Diana puffed her arms around the man's neck.

"That's my science."

Is that so?

He laughs and bends over to kiss.

This is the third time I've asked you to live with me.
