The Queen’s Cosmetician

Chapter III: The Dreaming Sponsor 1

The way out of the tower was finally decided the day before the execution.

Armatine, who was running around people to adjust to it, laughs all over and outlines the plan.

"Travel to the place of execution of the death penalty. I'll go for it. When I was close to the place I had pioneered, my people dressed as thieves would kidnap Master Mariage."

"A thief... you're not geishas! Stop imitating things that don't suit you. I'm going to die for nothing."

"Dear Mariaj, I'm a jerk. But don't worry. It's not us. Separate collaborators."

Since Mariage's absence, the atmosphere of the castle has also changed dramatically. The new system, announced for next fiscal year, reinforces the influence of nobility and the Virgin Church, with civilians and officials from lower nobility apparently in a state of war.

All the talent, as a receptacle for those without gold or backshields, the Royal Castle of Delligeria has worked so far. But if the weight were to be placed on the blood muscle, it would not be the same as before.

Lately, he's got a cross spear from the Kersung family, and the clerk seems to have his head.

"There's been a lot of talk that the next queen isn't Merriam. But the middle class houses are starting to make noise because the house with the queen candidate is something that says nothing anywhere. It seems to me that we are in a hurry to end Mariage."

"I wonder why they didn't kill me right away."

"I'd like to see the Chancellor's reckoning. He declared that if there were to be an unjust death for Mariaj, he would also look at the queen's candidacy."

Like Meliá's sister, she has a daughter who has reached the prescribed age for a queen candidate in the last two years. It is possible to replace the queen candidate. Rodimus, the son of the previous queen, can push it through.

"Kidnapped... are you going straight to Bethleim?

"I plan on doing that."

Failing to inform him that Mariage was the opponent, the head of the Bethleim family said he attached the promise of a secret meeting. I fear for the execution of the Armatins.

"What if... what if it doesn't work?

"You're just gonna die."

I have no body or lid.

But you're right.

The meal to be fed was until lunch the day before. To keep my stomach empty. The number of products was low. The baked confectionery brought in by Zion is salvation. The confectionery made by Armatine's lady is rustic but familiar to her tongue. It reminded Mariage of the taste of the Mizwieri family.

Spend the rest of the time sipping tea, organizing information purchased by Armatine and considering what to talk to the Bethleim family about.

I didn't remember from nervousness or hunger at night.

About my mother or my father. About Heath. About the die. I slept while I was thinking about what had happened.

And finally, the Sabbath, which Rodimus described as the last.

Mariage could not block her open mouth to the samurai who appeared accompanied by the guard.

Mariage moaned low on his face, which appeared from under his eye-sneaking headscarf, after the watchman had left.

"... Titianna"

"Yes, Master Mariage"

"What are you doing here?

"I'm here to help you with your support, Mariage."

The Mizweeri family samurai replied with a grin.

What do you care, and your teeth look, and Mariage screams.

"What kind of support?!?

"I am ordered to dress like a queen to Mariage, who will be defeated as a proven queen for two years."

"So what is it?!? What the hell!? I sent you here!

His Excellency Chancellor Tedius.

"Rodimus!!

What did that man do to me?

No. Or the other way around.

collapse, Titianna said. This samurai knows that Mariage is going to be killed after this.

Mariage sighed.

"What, you, you wanted to kill me so bad?

"The other way around! Aren't you determined to come and help me!

Titianna immediately denied it. He takes off his coat in an indignant manner and spreads the costumes and ornaments he brought in.

Mariage looked back at Armatine.

"... the collaborators, did you mean Rodimus?

"I wonder if the Chancellor is included. It was not actively involved, but it felt like you were blind to what we would do.... but erm, Mr. Titianna? What do you mean you're here to help?

The appearance of Titianna seemed unexpected. Armatine is bewildered.

Titianna looked around and answered her questions.

"The method of the death penalty has changed. Lord Rodimus says you will incite the poison cup here."

Initially it was planned after Mariage moved away 'to cure', that is to say, to a normal room without grating.

Maybe the escape plan leaked somewhere. I guess the new queens have decided to be more vigilant.

Titianna with a harsh look urges Mariage.

"Let's get started. I'll change my clothes first."

"That 's-- okay, but why are you taking your clothes off?

"This is for Mariaj to wear."

Titianna becomes dressed in underwear, then strips Mariage of her nightwear. Mariage hastily stopped.

"Hey, Titty, wait. Doesn't that mean you're gonna take your place?

"Yep."

Mariage is stunned by the samurai who lightly affirms.

"Silly! You can't be replaced about dressed!

Access to this tower is strictly controlled. Where I changed clothes and wore my headscarf, I would be ordered to remove it from the guard and would be examined in the face.

Titianna laughed.

"It's all right, Master Mariage"

"Do you want to die!?

Titianna shook her head and knelt before Mariage. Mariage peeled her eyes off. This samurai, who has been dating since she was a child, was publicly unwillingly humble and unscrupulous. She let herself down, drooped her head, and thanked herself as a subordinate. I have to be surprised.

Mariage, and Titianna calls.

"For the past two years, we have been reminded. We knew nothing about Mariaj."

Titianna takes Mariage's hand with respect.

That was also something I had never remembered before.

"We thought, more importantly, Master Mariage would return. You will go up to the castle as queen. The workmanship is fine, and there's plenty for every event. I can come back frequently to Mizwilli to say my utmost, which is not tolerated in the royal castle. Yes, I thought so."

Even if they think so, there is no imposition. Mariage had countless seizures in trivial matters. I can assure you that the short-tempered temperament remains unchanged.

Looking at Mariage, the samurai laughed all the time.

"Master Mariage was not returned. And when we returned, we understood. Lady Mariage was chosen to be queen.... We didn't know you could work so hard for your country."

"Titi"

"We have been ashamed. I thought you didn't know what Mariaj was doing, but I was just happy to see your country get noisy.... Lord Rodimus told me that you studied a lot and made every effort to ask other countries to cooperate in trying to do something about the disturbing world. Even though the neighbors and the journey to Scanagia Jr. were long and steep, Master Mariage did not complain about any of them, nor did Mr. Assé."

Mariage became a distant sight. What do you need to talk about?

Titianna smiles at Mariage.

"Dear Mariage, very hard work. … From now on, let us cooperate with what Mariage will do."

"But... you must be my mother"

After Mariage took office, Titianna married one of her colleagues. She is now the mother of one child.

What was instigated by Rodimus? I didn't expect you to come to the dead place with a child to protect. This samurai has no choice but to be frightened.

Titianna narrows her eyes pitifully.

"Right. So I figured it out."

"What?

"You were distracted from your wife and it was hard, Master Mariage"

Titianna gets up. Her tinted eyes peek into Mariage's face. A thin arm gently held Mariage's body. Suddenly, the body becomes stiff.

I should have let you go if I was being rude, but I couldn't do it to Mariage. Half-hearted, he was wrapped in the smell of soap wrapped around the samurai.

"I used to tell Die. Left alone, I feel sorry for him, but he said I was too impatient. That didn't happen. My daughter just cries better.... That was hard. Forgive me for not knowing that, immature me."

"... are you trying to tell me that I'm a child?

"At the time of Mariage's suffering, I do not wish to be alone."

Mariage wrinkled between her eyebrows and pushed Titianna's body away. Off her face from the samurai, she whines in a sigh.

"... extra help. You shouldn't have come here."

"Because you're here. Give it up."

After laughing and saying in a troubled breeze, the samurai tightened her expression again.

"I've talked a long time. I'm sorry I wore it, but here."

Titianna spreads her samurai clothes. Mariage put her sleeve through. Even if you have anxiety, you will have to follow the instructions of those who have fed.

Titianna explains while clamping around her predecessor.

"I will not be present until the poison cup. Only helping me to wear it is my job and I am supposed to leave the room immediately. When I am finished dressing, Master Mariage will go outside the tower. They're picking you up."

Titianna's clothes were unusually perfect for Mariage. Height is the only difference, but you should look different. The samurai seemed to have come this far, dressed to match Mariage's body, hiding her disguise in her coat.

Next Mariage was waited in a chair and the wearing of Titianna began. They're re-matching this one to her body, too. There was nothing strange about the line of the body, but the magnificent costume doesn't suit the samurai at all.

"You look better in a lady's dress."

"Master Mariage doesn't look good in your outfits either. These kinds of things look good on Mariaj."

Titianna smiled as she was tied to her hair by Armatine and sighed without picking a necklace.

"So hurry back to the queen."

Right, and maybe I should have contracted lightly.

But I couldn't.

Instead, the question poked his mouth.

"Titianna... how could I have lost it, Rodimus asked?

"I heard that. You mean Master Liveaux."

Heath Livort disappeared to the border the day Mariage stood as queen. He's the one from Perfilia, and Mariage is trying to sell the country through him.

Titianna smiled at the rumor.

"It's ridiculous. Master Livot cared about all sorts of things. About the finances of the house, about the territory. Also about the preservation of Mizweeri's mansion. If you're really one of the other countries, where did you need to get to work? Yes, I also told His Excellency the Chancellor, I"

What did the Chancellor of Del Ligueiria think?

I don't know anything. The lady's assessment of that man.

It's time, Armatin said.

Don't worry about us.

"I can handle it"

Armatine and Titianna wave flickering. Too much brain weather made Mariage half-eyed.

Theon escorts Mariage to the door.

She was smiling again, as usual.

"Don't talk to the soldiers, walk with dignity"

Come on in, and the three of you will push me out.

The door closed behind the impetuous mariage.

The watchman looked down at Mariage.

"Are we done?

Mariage was distracted when she was seen in her face at close range. But the guard never pulled a mariage, and asked another soldier standing on the outpost to stay away and walk out.

Mariage wore a headscarf on her confused head.

(I didn't even notice?

The watchman looked at his face properly. You must have found it clearly different from Titianna's creation.

(Guards on your side, too? No......)

The soldiers were advised not to speak. It means you could be noticed from your voice.

(Just hang in there...)

The voice that advised Mariage in the first place.

Whose was it?

The guard drops the lock and opens the heavy door. Ahead was the crossing road leading to the main palace. A man stands in the center of it.

It's Rodimus. With his coat in the wind, he was waiting for Mariage.

Hand over the mariage to Rodimus and the watchman turns back to the tower.

Mariage heard the sound of the lock coming down from the inside.

Grab a grip in front of your jacket and walk over to Rodimus.

Rodimus looked at the mariage, which stopped in front of him, like a strange thing.

"Titianna?"

"No, I'm not."

When Mariage returned the denial, Rodimus turned his eyes to surprise. Arm up and shut up, I see, and he shrugs.

"This is a trick. Well, fine. Let's hurry."

Without waiting for Mariage to reply, Rodimus flinches himself. Mariage looked down at Hiragana.

(... that's what you're talking about)

I'm finally convinced.

About the strange confidence of the Titiannas.

Hilarious, and the white grain of falls.

Reasonable exhalation should seep in. It seems to be snowing.

Mariage grips the snow of a palm.

And I walked out after Rodimus.

The former queen, who stirred the poison cup, lays down on the table with her back.

She was an incompetent queen only to express her will to the governor. Because she neglected her internal affairs and only traveled to other countries to see things, the world became more intelligent.

Don't flatter me.

He shrugs in his chest as he stares at his daughter's white neck, which does not move on the table.

(You were terrible...)

The tyrant stands solemnly, a new queen.

Now the world will be at peace.

But before that, there were people who had to be disposed of.

The two of them were looking after their daughter, who was the queen.

One is a glossy woman. The other is an Orientalist who even feels young. Killing here is a waste, but few must know about the backstage of a sudden change of queen.

"Thank you guys for your hard work"

To his labor the two women kneel and drool their heads.

Hanging his hand on the poisoned dagger, he slowly approached the two women.

"I will free you now."

Go to the land of Maburoba.

He pulled out his dagger. I was going to stroke one of the women's white necks.

My body pulls hard on the lid. He frowned at annoyance. A woman's hand is eagling at his leather belt. He must be dead, Mariage's hand.

"Become!?

"Hey, what's up?

The other side, who was guarding in front of the door, raises his surprise.

But he fell suddenly like a puppet with a broken thread. His own consciousness also rapidly begins to turn away again before asking anything.

I couldn't stand, and, cursorily, I hung my hand on the edge of the table.

My daughter, who should have been poisoned, rises beside him. It was painful, and the whining daughter's voice, not that of the former queen. As you can be sure, your body is powerless.

A deafening voice hung from him on the carpet.

"Oh, good luck."

The voice of a woman who sounds quiet.

The toe of a woman's shoe appears in his eyes when he is overthrown.

A faint, bright phosphorescent light falls like snow.

I followed that foot. The strange-faced woman looked down at him, paying her loosely knitted redhead off her shoulder.
