The Queen’s Cosmetician

Stupid.

Everyone there would have thought so. But the Mistress of the Gertrude family didn't see her making jokes.

She turns her blindfolded eyes to Mariage and repeats the words quietly.

"If you don't seem to believe me, let me tell you as many times as I can. We, the Gertrude family, and all who follow us, promise to elect you as queen."

Everyone has even forgotten to blink and froze at Rudia's proclamation. Of those, Heath was the only one who moved.

"... I'd like you to tell me why"

He sits on a chair beside Mariage's diagonal side and narrows his pale eyes, as if he is trying to conjure up Rudia's thoughts.

"My family has lost a candidate for queen. Then our family has to choose one of the candidates just like the others.... After consideration, it seemed to me that Lady Mariage deserved the queen the most out of the queen candidates left. So, why not?

"You won't be."

Heath immediately denied Rudia's answer.

"It doesn't surprise me how to think about it and come to the idea that Master Mariage deserves it."

Rudia frowns more at what she can only think of as demeaning her husband. But Mariage was unwilling to blame Heath. I'm used to it, like a little reluctance. Now it was better to explore Rudia's sincerity than to scold him.

A gateway to the Gertrude family supports Mariage as queen.

It means overshadowing the power map of the queen candidates from the ground up.

Once there was Arishuel, the position of the most prominent candidate.

So, pushing Mariage, Rudia says.

Disappearance of queen candidates and former principals. Those who disobey the Gertrude family will also appear in the scandal that came out boiling in Russia. Still, it's not like the power of his (or his) house, which was absolute, can disappear. Being elected from one gate of the Gertrude family is synonymous with the fact that the election of the queen of Mariage will be definitive, even if it is not attempted.

"I thought choosing Lady Mariage as our queen would be for the prosperity of our home. Are you dissatisfied with the answer?

Heath agrees to Rudia's inquiry.

"As I said, choosing Lady Mariage as queen will be for your home, Lady Rudia. Few houses support Master Mariage. That is why, if Lady Mariage were to be queen, the Gertrude family would have a kind of voice"

I understood what Heath was trying to say. Mariage is among the candidates, furthest from the Queen's throne. Assuming Mariage is chosen as queen, those under the Gertrude family umbrella will say: With the support of our house, I thought it would be the throne.

I don't think Rudia will gratefully follow that point, but we have to consider this side of the spectrum to reward him for his benevolence.

"Hence."

Heath continues.

"Those of the other houses will consign and seek to overthrow the Gertrude family. There are three houses where queen candidates cannot be more cooperative than each other: Whistlewism, Karsun and Bethleim. But once the queen is elected, it's not a story. It is greatly possible to see the Gertrude family, who moved to suck sweet juice instead of themselves, as a common enemy. Even the Gertrude family would be overloaded to deal with three houses at once."

Mariage turned hard and shifted her gaze to Heath. He was right. Even if one Gertrude family stood around well, the situation should not be interesting to the three families.

And when you have a common enemy, people are easily linked, even in a confrontational relationship.

"Thinking about it, it's more natural to support any of the queen candidates in the three houses, not Master Mariage. The Mizweeli family has thin ties to these three houses. Depending on the condition of the house, you may cooperate with other houses, but you may not even be able to consign, and the power of the house… It is a great pity to me that I am serving, but not strong"

Staring thinly at Heath laughing, Mariage used to say, groaned. It's a powerless house, which is why he's hired to do whatever he wants so far. He can't be unhappy with the situation.

Though not foolish enough to put it in your mouth here.

"Which candidate do you think you should support?

"My name is Sylviana Bethleim."

Heath responded instantly to Rudia, who asked modestly.

"The Kersung and Whistlewism families, minus the Queen's race, can't be more friendly than they were originally. Even if we consigned it, it would be easy to poke and collapse. But the Bethleim family is moderate, and they maintain not a bad relationship with both Karsun and Whistlewism families. If the three families cooperate with each other, it is very likely that the Bethleims will become "

Listening to Heath's explanation, Mariage was reflecting on what had happened at the Gertrude family night club. I'm the one who taught Die that Melia Karsung and Kristel Whistlewism suck at each other. Those two families are very unfamiliar, both parents and children. On the other hand, Silviana's per capita, who had been dancing with a man for a long time on his own, wasn't bad after Arishuel.

"Supporting Master Silviana to hold down the Bethleim family and ensure the safety of the house. Focus on the sedation of confusion after the Lord's shift, and gradually master everyone at a calm dawn."

Heath closes the explanation.

Titty, and.

A light applause sounded in the room.

Rudia sitting on her bench turning her praiseworthy eyes to Heath, slapping her hand.

"You, weren't born a nobleman, were you? That you know so much about us often. Especially Karsun and Whistlewism, even though they are desperate because they pretend to be close to each other."

"Over the past few years, I've been studying. Anyone can see that."

Heath, who seemed to have smiled softly, narrowed her eyes by erasing any expression.

Intimidating, eye-catching.

"... so I can't solve it. Why do you and your loved ones support Mariage?"

Mariage brings no benefit to the Gertrude family. Though he says he's more likely to be in danger.

Rudia leaks a bitter laugh at the gaze of her gathering pursuit.

"I grew up being taught that it was happiness for me to devote myself to my home from birth"

She began to speak with the voice that killed the discouragement.

"I was taught that the prosperity of the house brings me happiness, and I didn't doubt it. No, I still don't doubt it. The prosperity of the house brings stability and fullness of life to what is around me. And you will serve me better. I didn't hate to offer myself for the prosperity of the house, and if it's going to be for the house, I've made it my favorite."

That man.

Mariage also knows who the hell that means. Byrum. Former head of the Gertrude family that he's missing. Alishuel's, father.

"I even believed that the prosperity of the house was the happiness of that child, Arishuel,"

Rudia continued her words.

"I even believed what the status of queen would bring would make that child happy. … and that Arishuel is no longer there"

Arishuel Gertrude's happiness was elsewhere.

Having lost everything, she abandoned this country and traveled.

Mariage gently bites her lower lip when she mouths that she wanted to be friends with herself, etc.

Is she in the middle of a journey through a neighboring country? Or are you no longer on this continent?

"Dear Mariage, she always said that you deserved the queen."

Called upon, Mariage raises her face. At the end of his gaze, he had the same smile Alishuel had just thought of earlier.

Rudia says.

"I missaw where that child's happiness was and cut off the tools as well. For that sin, I must reward. If you're still uncomfortable... I've caused you trouble, just think of it as an apology."

You know what?

Mariage lays her eyes down.

It was no wonder why Rudia pushed people like herself to be queens. I'm finally convinced now. Rudia expressed her support for Mariage out of self-respect for leaving Arishuel alone.

I wasn't discouraged by that. Rather, I learned a strange relief.

"Don't get me wrong, I never chose you only to accompany my daughter's thoughts, Dear Mariage"

Mariage tilts her neck to the hard voice of Rudia, who has changed since hitting her earlier.

"What does that mean?

"Choosing you as queen is for the prosperity of the Gertrude family. It's the truth again."

Rudia drove to Kaka without a pale grin very similar to Arishuel's, wrapped around him the harshness characteristic of a shrewd wisdom and a man responsible.

"I bear the lives of those who follow the Gertrude family. You can't risk them with one of your mother's sentiments. Even if it was Arishuel's wish, if you were to harm us, I would never speak of you as a queen."

"... then why...?

To Mariage groaning in confusion, Rudia states resolutely.

"I pushed you as queen because I thought you were the only one who could take this country in a great direction."

"I believe you can lead this country in a wonderful direction."

The exact same thing my daughter once said.

"This country is about to usher in a new time now. The next queen must defend this country. The Queen does not deserve to be tied to the thoughts of her parents or to the gestures between the nobles, but to be able to stand, move and choose the way on her own feet."

"... that I am such a person?

To Mariage's inquiry, Rudia smiles.

To that silent affirmation, I accidentally clenched my fist and was alone.

"I bought too much..."

Yeah. Too much buying.

Mariage shook her head loosely into denial and insisted on Rudia.

"I am not the kind of person Rudia or Arishuel deserves to expect......!

Rudia and the others say as if Mariage were strong enough to be imprisoned by no one. But it's not. I had few relatives from the beginning, and even my parents died, I just didn't have anything to tie them to from the beginning.

"With my own feet...? I'm just doing what I want. You can't laugh and recieve like Arishuel, even if they say you hate the taste, and when it's frustrating, you can only hit everyone......!

Selfish, small.

Nor did I have any lofty thoughts about accepting to be a candidate for queen. For the selfish reason that if I reward my father's thoughts, someone will look me in the eye. More servants if you become queen. There is only that degree of recognition.

I didn't.

"... it's also very important not to overestimate yourself. Dear Mariage,"

Laughing furiously, Rudia said.

"Don't you want to be a queen?

I don't want to be.

Mariage swallowed an instant response to Rudia's inquiry. I knew it was an unacceptable answer.

If you don't intend to be queen, you should quit your candidacy. But I can't do that. Mariage, and hence the Mizwieri, to survive.

But Mariage had to realize that she didn't want to be a queen, she wanted to cry. Rudia's offer was supposed to be welcome at will. But occupying the chest is all rejection.

If Rudia just said she would support herself for Arishuel, it was still accepted.

But she says she chooses Mariage because she finds the power to guide the country.

I didn't think so.

I can't think about the country. I even have so much room for myself.

Mariage knew how much the disappointment that struck her would determine her mind after being overwhelmed with expectations. My father said he was badly discouraged when the self my mother gave birth to risking her life was an adorable baby that looked nothing like my beautiful girlfriend. Those are the results of my childhood.

I don't want you to hang up on me. I don't want anything from me. The weight bores the throne.

"You have power."

"What power!?

I also forgot to pay my respects, and Mariage was screaming.

"There are people gathering around you"

Rudia smiled and glanced at Heath.

"One of the conditions for what stands at the apex. It's about good people gathering around for whatever reason. You have it. There are people who can understand the situation, judge calmly, and speak to you.... is it not?

You can't affirm that you are, you can't deny that you're not, and Mariage pushed silence.

First of all, Heath is certainly competent. We still don't know why he's desperate to tailor Mariage to the queen. But I'm in the mood for you to believe me. Not so much. He contributed to the Mizweeri family and had extra.

And die. A makeup artist brought in by Heath. She is also a wise person. Accurately against Mariage, he talks about good and bad behavior. I don't even know if I can read the air.

And when they are asked whether they are good, they do not know.

Is there a crowd of people around you, like Rudia says, fulfilled - all the time, even though you said you were alone?

I'm not sure.

Unexpectedly leaning mariage ears, the sound of clothes rubbing.

Moving his gaze, he tangled and stood up the hem of his garment, Rudia's figure in his eyes.

"Don't worry about us. Let's not worry about the degree to which we consign ourselves to other houses because of our lack of strength.... Hey, Meer"

Rudia says to the escort-like woman who stands upright behind her and refrains.

"Yeah, ma'am. Exactly."

The woman, called Meer, nodded to her husband with no expression.

Is it the heart of Rudia? He looked familiar, but I couldn't even remember where I met him.

"Dear Mariage,"

I am drawn back from the realm of oblivion by Heath's gaze. Mariage lined up in Rudia leaving the room and escorted her to the front door. The glare of her undisturbed tied hair and her stretched back remind me of the girl who was once disgusted but chasing her as an object of vision.

Because they look straight at themselves.

I couldn't keep my face up.

"Good day, Master Mariage"

Before the carriage, the new owner of the Gertrude family laughs.

"The Queen's race is nearby, you'll be busy, but please, let's be healthy."

Heath, who was following me to the drop off, praises me.

"Thank you for your time, Master Rudia. Thank you for your offer."

Moving his gaze from the man's terminal side to Rudia, Mariage said.

"Blessed be the Virgin to the Gertrude family."

Rudia breaks her eyes.

Then he picked up the hem of the costume and quietly broke his hips.
