The Queen’s Cosmetician

The man leads the die silently. The waves of those who held back Die's whereabouts cracked like funny.

He moves fast enough for his legs to be as he pulls the die's hand.

So much so that we got to the neglected part of people, Heath looked back and thundered.

"... how can I deviate!? YOU HA!!!

"Oh, sorry."

The volume of the voice makes the die shudder. But Heath relentlessly showered her anger at continuing to stand.

"I get lost because I'm depressed! Please hold on a little tighter!! It's in the castle!? Even if you get lost, it won't be something to walk to mumble about!! You'll be amazed! In many ways!!

The man with his hands on his hips cut the words once to the sigh.

"... hi... did Master Livot come all the way out here to find you?

"Yep."

Heath responded instantly. Those eyes, looking down at the die, were unchanged and cold.

I can't look directly at that face.

The ecstasy that burned my chest so much when I thought he was picking me up for nothing else is quiet now.

Heath sighs again. On the clap, a thick leaf fell from his shoulder.

"... where did Master Liveau first find me?

I caught my eye on the branch leaves caught on his clothes, and Die groaned.

"It's that garden over there."

Heath suggests direction with his jaw.

"Precisely, before you go into the garden, right? There was a distance, so I couldn't call it off."

"... So you came after me?

Did you follow in the footsteps of the die and walk in search of me?

"Yeah, that's right. You'll have to go after him. I'm responsible."

the responsibility of the servants as supervisors.

Every sound, every word, spinned to include, is annoying.

"... if you were in charge, you wouldn't have to squeal, would you?

"... huh?

To the man who deepens the wrinkles between his eyebrows, Die intensified his narrative.

"Didn't Master Liveau have to come looking for me, I said!

Die shook Heath's hand off, distancing herself and shouting.

"If you're in charge, just pull in like you're in charge. I'll leave you alone!

"... ha!?

Heath screams back with a flashing face at the attitude of a die far from sad.

"What do you mean it!?

"It means exactly what it means! What do you do with the person in charge taking the initiative! You can move others!? Even if Master Liveau didn't look for me by and large, I'd be home alone one of these days!

"If you can go home alone, why are you stuck here!?

"Why don't you wander around alone without a guide at the castle, even Master Liveau!?

"Unfortunately, I was with the castle until earlier!! Look for you!!!

"So what about everyone else?!?

"I'll be waiting in the understatement!

"Are you saying that Master Livot is the only one who came looking for me!?

"Don't think of it as flirtatious! Titianna, how dare you blame yourself!

"Ain't nobody saying that! Me... I'm talking about... Huh!!

Screaming, Die is convinced that his thoughts are not wrong.

In retrospect of Heath's mouth, Die clenched his fist and moaned.

"Why is Master Livot coming...? Why?"

I wonder why this man, who is nothing else, comes looking for himself.

Why.

How long the hell have you been looking around for me, man's hair sticking to his skin with seeping sweat? If you look closely, the hedgehog leaves caught on the shoulder, and there was abrasion on the hand thinking that it might have been damaged by branches.

"If you don't like it... you just have to leave me alone...?

You just have to be thorough until the end, and let me go.

"Supervise me, because I'm responsible?

Surely Heath has a responsibility. He, the chief deputy, is in a position to sum up his servants with the deacon.

But.

"... that doesn't explain why you're coming out..."

If it means being responsible, that's what he had to wait for while overseeing everyone in the reserved seats. For there were those who could move instead.

"Why do you come out or something?

His eyes are dark everywhere, cold, and he refuses to die.

"Why, Heath, are you coming to find me...?

Still on the last line, he tries to help himself.

That's why I don't like it.

"... if Heath doesn't like me anymore, that's fine"

Die moaned with his face down.

"But I want you to tell me what you hated. If that's no good, let it cool down to the end. Otherwise... trouble."

"Why are you in trouble?

"Why? Isn't that natural!!

Die bit his teeth at the unheath-like love inquiry.

"Because we're going to be working together forever! We've been together forever, but we want to be together! It would be tough if they were cold without knowing why! Even when Titi made me cold, it was so hard! Heath knows that, doesn't she?

After one incident with the head of the samurai, she was distanced from Titianna. It was a little while, but it was hard.

The man knows that. He was the one who cared about the die and kept encouraging it because he was nothing else.

"Until the end... if I'd been made cold to the end, this way, even though there's a way!

Because it's too tight and tender.

Because I try to help.

I can't help but take that hand I can reach out to.

The relief that it has not yet been abandoned goes hand in hand with the anguish that it will continue to be rejected.

"How could...!!

To the pursuit of the die, the man only slightly distorts his face.

"Heath...... Huh!!

"Deceive me!!!

Shin, and.

The silence came all over the area, as if it had struck water.

Everyone is making their eyes black and white at the anger of the girl as if she had struck each head with a wooden hammer.

Heath lifted her chin and glanced at her. The die is also followed to raise its face and watch the tip of his gaze.

One girl stood on the patio facing the courtyard.

Mariage.

I was wondering if it would be a venue beside me because I could hear the speech of the Queen's candidate, even though it was obscure. but not anywhere near. This was in the middle of the audience.

Trees and flowers, and a vast courtyard surrounded by waterways. Guest seating is provided in the central part with a good view of the terrace. Around it were people who thought they were guests' samurai. The crowd that was holding Die's whereabouts back like a wall earlier is like them.

Slowly turning her gaze to the audience, she roared uncomfortably.

"... you guys make a scene when people want to talk.... Shut up."

But they have not opened their mouths, and they have not wandered. He was just looking up at the queen candidate with a flashy look on his face. No one would have expected a candidate to anger the audience in a speech setting that would determine the Queen. At least the other candidates must have never stopped smiling frantically.

"Don't you have the idea of waving your love around? That one..."

Heath put his hand on his head and sighed zero.

"I really can't believe I'm ordering as usual..."

Die desperately cuts the laughter out of her throat. I was the one who advised her worried about how to behave that I should just order her to behave as I normally do, but I didn't really think it would be executed.

It was quiet around. There was no more excitement or enthusiasm that dominated the place. Only the pleasant wind strokes my cheeks.

As if no one existed, silence dominated the place.

Die looked up to Mariage again.

-... went for extraordinary beauty rather than glamour.

After the long hair was finely tied, it was unnecessarily wrapped up in one. Hair tones that increase in intensity by doing so glow red when exposed to sunlight. For the two rounds of wild roses to be inserted into the hair, white was chosen to appear in the color.

The wrapping costume is made of shiny crimson and layered with black thin silk woven with gold thread. Over the fence of the sculpted terrace, the red and black on its hem danced to the wind, fantastic as the midnight polar light.

Mariage once said.

He said he was not confident that he would be slandered compared to the other queen candidates.

I wonder who told her she wasn't beautiful.

She's so, so overwhelmed with the others that she's there.

"... I guess each of you has already decided on your own queen."

Standing at the edge of the terrace, she put her hand on the fence and began to speak quietly.

"So once again, I dare not tell you to pick me."

Die peeled his eyes a little. Heath on the other side is also losing color. Naturally.

Mariage isn't just mouthing content that differs from the manuscript she prepared beforehand. I told you I didn't have to choose who I was.

Maryage continues to talk about the stunner of the Dies elsewhere.

"I have no power. It's hard for me to even believe that I'm standing as a queen candidate on this occasion right now. Naturally, even if you become queen, there's no room for you to fulfill each and every one of your wishes.... although I don't know what the other candidates are like"

Other candidates have promised their supporters various conveniences in return.

But Mariage declared that she was not going to fulfill any of her demands on any supporter, that it was not flavorful where she chose to be.

No matter how much support he receives from one gate of the Gertrude family, Mariage's deeds do not seem sane. In the guest seat, Rudia will be blue by now.

"... what are you thinking..."

Even if the person in question has not made any promises, Heath has called on the intermediate lower nobles to support Mariage through various negotiations. She kicked it in the foot as well.

Mariage looks to an audience with more disturbing air in Russia for a different speech.

But that's all I promise you.

Mariage pointed her fingertips straight to heaven wrapped in silk gloves.

"As long as I am queen, I will treat you all in the same line. I don't care what kind of offense you engage in. Rewards commensurate with your efforts. Sanctions for laziness and sin. And I will do everything in my power so that you can live your days in the same way as before, including me."

Once the words were separated, Mariage smiled.

Like I smiled, I saw it.

And that, very beautiful, Die found out.

"I have no power. So help me. I believe the house and wisdom that you have protected and inherited will help me."

That's not a speech, as a candidate for queen.

It was the proclamation of the queen to the minister, itself.

"I don't pray"

Mariage takes the oath.

"I'm not praying to anyone. Give you the same days as before. I promise you more drilling and prosperity."

The speech is over and the nobles head to the diocese to vote for the queen candidate.

Following Heath leading in that opposite direction, Die was walking. mutually silent. Only the footsteps for two going through a thin courtyard sound regular.

Tired of silence, Die spoke to the man's wide back.

"Dear Mariage, are you all right?

I'm not expecting a response.

"It wasn't like I was practicing, and I was surprised because all of a sudden it starts with yelling, but I'm so glad."

The 'unchanging days' that Mariage promised everyone was what Die wanted. I was terribly happy to think you were incorporating my opinion.

"But I'm worried that everyone's reaction is completely different from when the others are"

At the end of the speech of the other queen candidates, the audience were all cheering and praising them. But when she disappeared from the terrace, it didn't make her faint, it kept her quiet.

"That was a good speech."

There was an unexpected reaction and the die flashed.

Keep walking, Heath continues.

"The aristocracy is tied to an upward and downward relationship. Therefore, we find ourselves tranced in being asked to help by something higher than ourselves. That speech must have stifled everyone's self-esteem. It's a trivial tone from them, as they are accustomed to."

"Master Mariage will be... Queen?

"Yep. It will be."

In a pale voice, Heath affirmed.

Queen's throne, supported by the Gertrude family, became definitive. But depending on the neutral vote move, the situation could also be overshadowed.

"It was noisy because everyone is listening in half. It's no different from the wild.... Everyone was listening to Mariage without being able to say anything"

Heath, who stopped, said looking back at the surprise die.

"I will, to the queen"

(Then why?)

Looking up at the man, Die thought.

(He seems to be doing so well)

Making Mariage queen was this man's grief. To that end, he has been powdering himself and working. When the effort of the gradual years is finally rewarded, it should be a pleasure.

But the pale eye looking down at the die was like that of a man standing on the brink of despair.

Looking back at the past, it also seems that as Mariage became independent, he deepened his frustration.

-... maybe this one didn't want Mariage to make an effort to be queen herself, while she wanted to be queen.

I don't know what that idea means.

My skin just pops up.

In front of the standing die, Heath raised her gaze to the lid and slightly narrowed the eyes of the Ethereum.

"Die."

"Huh? Wow!!!

Raising his face in response to the call, Die was surprised by the shadow that had jumped into his sight and flew off the scene reflexively. Confirm the identity of the assailant through the gap of his fingers as he shields his face with his bare hands.

"Or tease!?

The whole fat giant raven was winging and swirling right beside him.

"Hih."

Sharp hook claws glow dull, and the die screams without a voice.

"Die!"

An eagle grabbed the hand of the man who had been stretching out the arm of a die about to fall into a state of panic.

"Calm down!

"Oh, yeah, um, I can't!

"It's all right!

"What's OK!?

It's stranger to be attacked by a raven and be calm.

Rejected in tears, Die shook Heath's hand off. Return your heels with your head to the birds that are increasingly fortifying your offense. But before fleeing, the raven passed beside the die with great wings.

"Hahahahaha!!

The laughter of the woman I found out lightly punches Die in the ear.

The raven stood fluttering down on her shoulder in a way that did not make her feel the weight.

"I'm sorry, hey, this kid's coarse."

"Alvey?"

Die stares at Alvina as she breathes, thanking her for her laughter mix. Stopping in front of her, she slowly stroked the head of a bird moving her neck a little bit.

"The raven..."

I didn't know it when I was flying around, but it looks familiar.

"Yeah. I introduced you before, didn't I? My devil. He told me when he found the dies. Glad you found her properly, this girl."

Earlier raids were apparently delighted to accomplish a mission from my husband, but a late act.

Die felt sorry for himself with no heart or hips, poisoned in his chest.

"I'm sorry, did I surprise you?

"I was so scared of Mon!

"Uh, but you're a devil?

"I can't tell!

"There must be not many surgeons available right now."

I glanced at the raven that wore over Alvina's shoulder, and Heath pinched her mouth.

"You don't have to be indistinguishable."

"Oh? Really?

"... How is a devil different from a bird that isn't?

I guess Heath can tell the difference between a charlatan and a regular bird. Earlier he wasn't in a hurry. One way or another, there is a verse that stood for a long time.

Instead of answering the question, Alvina reached for the die. A raven moves to his fingertips as he jumps over its arms. Die hissed inside wondering if the raven's hook nail would hurt her hand just wrapped in thin gloves.

"It's okay. It doesn't hurt."

"Huh? Wow"

A bird flies to its head. Ready for that nail to devour into his skin, the die flashed into an unexpected sensation the next moment.

"... uh. What is it? This."

Though it weighs on something, it doesn't belong to a bird.

"The devil is an illusion that moves with my magic. There's no such thing as slipping through objects because there's nucleus, but there's no such thing as hurting people."

"... so you said it was okay? Because I knew it was an illusion."

To Die's inquiry, Heath indicated affirmation.

"I've seen this devil in Alvina before."

Nevertheless, no matter how much you've seen, is it so easy to tell?

It is unlikely that a raven can be an illusion just to see it and go back to Alvina's shoulder and start wearing it.

"Alvina! Found -?

All of a sudden, I look up in the sky to the voice that came down from heaven. Titianna's figure caught my eye, riding herself out of the trunk of the crossing hall across her head and waving. She also admitted to the appearance of a die, which brings joy to that face.

"Ah! Die! Great!! What about Master Livot!?

"I'll be here."

Titianna threw a frightened glance at Heath as she walked out of the shade of the tree.

"Dear Livot! Soldiers are getting angrier! Because I'll be gone on my own! Hope you were able to rendezvous with the die, but go apologize later!

"Okay."

"Heath, didn't you get permission from a soldier?

Die twists his neck and looks up at Heath. But he stayed stubborn and didn't even try to keep his eyes on him.

"Anyway, I'm glad I made it"

Titianna says.

"Come back here quickly! It's time to open the bill!
