The Queen’s Cosmetician

Sheila told me that Raina's father died about eight years ago.

"You've been mayor since your father died, but the job itself has been helping you ever since before. But the only thing like a die is years. Rayna's a mayor, but only a title."

"That wouldn't happen, would it?

"That's true. I don't know about politics, and when it comes to what I'm doing, I'm just going to throw a tea party or dinner party and invite a lot of people to make it fun for you to go home.... Lady Mariage, will you look at politics properly?

"Yep... well"

The answer is no if Mariaj is asked if he is adjudicating his affairs alone. Correctly, the prime minister, Rodimus, has handled the suspension and Mariage has sentenced and signed the trial.

If Die avoided a clear statement and affirmed, Raina slapped her hand innocently.

"Wow! That's right, Master Mariage!

If Die's master had been here, he would have looked subtle.

"What a waste of words, I thank you on behalf of my lord"

Die stopped his hand and thanked him politely. Rayna shrugs her shoulders as she looks.

"I don't like it. If I die, I'm flattered."

"No, thank you so much.... but I think it would be disgusting for me to say this, but Lady Raina is also an excellent mayor... What Lady Raina is doing is fine diplomacy"

Like a butterfly that flies from flower to flower, it comes and goes through a circle of people without getting tired of it. Laughter blooms from where she leans alone, and that becomes another call to welcome.

Who doesn't get tired of being alone and has the skill to entertain them.

Rayna has it.

"Everyone enjoyed yesterday's meeting, including me. I think it's Lady Raina's help. Lady Raina is a natural socialist."

"Well...... thanks"

"If Lady Raina invites me next, I want to rush away any errands. I feel that way. The city of Lugrois will be happy to take Lady Raina as mayor."

From what I've observed, Rayna's ability to compromise is very high. He also seems to hold the reins of the capable clerks.

(I'm really jealous)

Die recalled the cloudy air in his country's castle. To Raina, to the city of Lugrova, I couldn't help but envy.

"Glad..."

Rayna groaned with a sobering sound.

"I'm really glad you said that to Die, Rayna.... because Rayna, my uncles are always scolding me."

"... Uncle?

The die stopped the hand organizing the vial, asking the parrot back. Apologize for the way Raina panicked.

"I'm sorry. It's about the other mayors in the clan. We were all friends of your father...... You knew Rayna when she was a little girl. Don't worry, you'll come visit me in Lugrois."

"Really..."

Although the mayors who had passed by Lugrois did not seem to travel far worried about the very young mayor.

(Well, it's natural to treat it differently outside and inside...)

Refreshing his mind, Die attracted colorboards that would hold practicing powder and honey red.

"Now, let me move you to makeup."

"Huh."

Waiting for Rayna to reply and lower her back to the chair. It's a tiny chair with a higher seat position than Raina's chair. Let me use it because it was prepared for you.

Die extended the powder thinly on the back of his cleaned hand. Ask her as she decides if it suits Rayna's skin.

"Are the mayors interacting this way?

"AC? Yeah, I wonder... There's Rayna, but I'm not sure about the other mayors."

"Lady Raina, do you often go out to other cities?

"No, not really"

The voice sounded unexpectedly low, and Die stared seriously at Rayna.

She looked like a grumpy child, poking her lower lip at what might be.

"My uncles have to use a carriage, not a ship. Rayna, I hate it when it's dusty.

"Lady Raina."

It takes a lot of words from the wall. Die glanced at the Lord of his voice. Sheila, who had previously remained silent, was laughing bitterly.

"Let's put it a little differently. Master Die is one of our guests."

"Never mind. It's okay. … I don't think people like Rayna have ever gone out to reduce the number of displaced people."

"Die, gentle......"

"Lady Raina."

Sheila called sharply and Rayna blushed her neck. Sheila, at all, sighs and smiles at Die.

"I am so, so sorry...... But once again, I am deeply grateful to all those who have crossed that dangerous journey and gone all the way to Lugrois. I must learn how to be aggressive."

"Speaking of which, to what extent do you accept displaced people in Lugrois?

I have the impression that the urban group of Clan Hive is not as critical to the displaced as Delligeria. The floating people should certainly be flowing to this suburb.

"I'm not letting one of them in. Are you hosting displaced persons in Del Ligueiria?

"Huh? You don't accept it in Lugrois?

"I have restricted access to the city. Only decent people can get into Lugrois"

Lugrois as well as the urban group of Klan Hive are protected by double exterior walls. Its robustness in preparation for the invasion not only of sandstorms but also of external enemies supersedes that of Delligeria. Unless it opens from the inside, there's not even room for one rat.

There was a considerable temperature difference between the Del Ligueiria and Clan Hive sides in the matter of measures to combat the floaters. The mayors' chilling attitude may also be at the end of the reason that the actual damage of the displaced is less within the city.

"Are restrictions on entry and exit temporary?

Die expressed his doubts as he took the clogged sponge of his eyes out of the silver basin.

This is the time. Every country places restrictions on immigration. But if strictness passes, people flow more and more, causing economic and spiritual disruption.

Raina shook her head sideways at Die's inquiry.

"No. Not long after Raina became mayor. I thought you should do that to keep what your father gave you."

I also feel better not to reject people from the outside. But I'm not in a position to point that out. Really, he hammered, and Die took up a big brush. Brush Raina's skin with plenty of white powder in her soft hair.

Smooth skin increased radiance.

"Raina had to protect Lugrova."

Rayna says as she crawls her fingertips on her cheeks to see how the white powder is on.

"The truth is, I hate Lugrois. Even if the die polishes me, I'm sure the sand will soon make me crisp. And the mayor is boring. All your uncle's entertainment. What is it?"

"... and yet you're mayor?

"Yep."

It should have been a girl who would still reach or not reach ten when she got that status.

"Is the mayor a hereditary?... Have you ever wanted to quit?

"I wasn't festivally festived. Raina decided to become mayor. Everyone just cooperated. You know, I wanted to quit. I don't. Because..."

I smiled at myself as Raina reflected in a mirror placed in the front.

Die knows that quiet smile.

It is floated by those who are ready.

"Rayna doesn't want Lugrova to be anybody's favorite."

Raina said resolutely.

"Rayna doesn't like Lugrova, but she won't allow anyone but Rayna to defile Lugrova, whom your father cared about. Raina protects Lugrois as he was when your father took care of him. Yes, because I've decided."

The mayor's face the die overlooks was the very thing of a country's monarch.

"After all, the people of the city of Lugrois will be happy."

Die told as he drew the color plate.

"You push and kill things that are unpleasant to you, but you wear Lady Raina as your chief trying to protect the city of Lugrova. … I'm sure you're very, very happy"

"... Glad to hear it"

Raina laughed rather as she looked up at the die.

"I'm glad you said it that way... Dear Mariage, you must be happy to have a die. 'Cause in such a short time, it makes Rayna feel so happy."

"I'm afraid you're so happy."

"It's true. I hope Raina can please the die too."

"It's enough to make you feel that way."

"Die is humble, isn't it?... Oh, yeah. Shall we reschedule a little this afternoon and go away?"

"Going away?"

Raina agreed with Die, who stopped her makeup hand and asked.

"That's right. Did they ask you about your plans for the afternoon?

"… I hear it's an inspection."

At the time Die went this way, no place had been scheduled.

Rayna grinned.

"Let me tell you about Lugrova's development as a hub for merchant ships that straddle the river. So, in the afternoon, we decided to ask everyone in Del Ligueiria to board the ship. We've already rewarded Mariage."

Apparently, the city buys and owns a retired merchant ship. Raina said she plans to get on board and visit it.

"But just looking at the town isn't boring. Let's take a little back to the river and go away. Die...... and thank you to Dear Mariage"

"Yeah, no, but"

Die does not have the authority to decide on the admissibility of Raina's proposal. Die looked at Assé for help. He was walled next to Sheila, and he just shook his head sideways with a puzzled look.

"Die."

"Yes."

Die rushed back to Rayna's gaze.

She takes Die's hand and tells him to sing, in a tone he just says it's already decided.

"I'd love to see something rare. I'm sure you'll be delighted."

The makeup artist, who was in a good mood all along, went back under his master before noon. Then for a while the youngest boys were moving to clean up the room, but the maid who kept the makeup record is now down, only two of them in the room, Rayna and Sheila.

Rayna peeks into the hand mirror all the time.

Ever since I dropped off my makeup artist.

I look at my face from various angles.

When the angle of light shooting into the room clearly changed, Rayna finally looked at Sheila and moved her lips.

"Hey, Sheila."

Sounds a lot, the voice of a plea.

Rayna lay down the mirror on the table and slowly rose.

Like a little bird, lean your little neck.

"Raina, I want a die"

Sheila exhaled.

"... don't serve bad bugs. Have you forgotten about the other day?

"Oh, I wonder what that was."

I'm talking about Mayor Esmel.

"Rayna, I don't know anything about incompetence."

Graham Esmel. Poor, short man. I only enlarged my ambitions and didn't objectively look at myself.

Sheila doesn't have feelings for the man who was burned to death and left behind, and was held captive.

But I feel sorry for those involved.

Sheila looked down at Rayna.

vibrant greens that understate her double. Red honey red with blue to wet shapely creases. The red colour poured on the cheeks and its darkness is also exquisite.

It's like a delightful treat.

So toxic glamour.

The makeup artist's skill was brilliant even in the eyes of the amateur.

(... that person knew what Lady Raina was all about...?

"Sheila."

Raina touches Sheila's arm.

Sheila's Lord smiled with a smile.

"Please, Sheila. Raina, I want a die."

"... why that makeup artist?"

Sheila couldn't help but ask, knowing it was a stupid question.

"Why?

Rayna lost her laugh.

"Don't ask me crazy things? Rayna doesn't like stupid kids."

"Sorry"

"But fine. I'll tell you because I feel so good.... If you had a die, you'd feel better every day, wouldn't you? Die is what cleans Rayna up."

Besides, Rayna narrows her eyes. The eyes were shimmering like cats with prey in front of them.

"Dies are so beautiful."

Sheila recalled the makeup artist's appearance.

Green dark hair, moon-colored eyes, white magnetic skin. Neutral neat face. My body is small, but I stand with a core.

He's Rayna's likeable boy.

"Die didn't even look nasty at Rayna.... I especially like that kind of kid."

Hey, Sheila.

Sheila responded to the call several times.

"Yes, Master Raina"

Ask as Raina peeks into Sheila's face.

"Is Rayna cute?

Yes, and Sheila agreed.

"Is Rayna pretty?

"Yes."

"Ugly?"

"Yes."

Unprecedented and repeated questions.

"Beautiful kids should be beside beautiful Raina. Isn't that right? Sheila."

"... Yes"

Rayna smiled satisfactorily.

"Rayna, I want that girl."

I won't cover what Raina said.

I know that so badly that I don't like it.

Sheila drowned over her consent.

"Yes, I did. My you."
