Even though it is the bedroom of the Southern King who is scolded as being abnormal, Natalier is not so casual as to think that the amateur himself was "lucky" to reach it in the shadows.

It is no coincidence that the rumor that the King of the South has now entered the palace to escape from his son's blockage and that the Prince is hardening his entrance and exit there, came into Natalier's ears when he had too much dinner.

Nevertheless, what I can do is to do and at most to shift the designated time.

Nathalie breathed out in relief as she entered the King of the Tropics's bedroom. I probably didn't think anything would go wrong so far, but it still makes me nervous. I even rubbed my head if the bedroom lock wasn't open. But by accident, the servant who finished cleaning the bedroom dropped the key. I don't know who he is, but the person who drew the script this time is a good performer.

It's already dusk. Gas lights and city lights were streaming in from the large windows, but it was dark in the bedroom where the owner was absent. Igniting the lights here is just too deliberate to play the stupid princess. You should hold your breath and pretend to be waiting for your allies.

The reason Natalier was summoned here is simple.

(To know if someone is coming to help me or if there is a spy, from my reaction)

And if he dies, it's not Prince Gerald's fault if he's in the King of the South's bedroom.

It is famous for being unarbitrated, but that is not all. Parent-child affection is complicated. Natalie, her real brother, and her parents are alive, so I don't know. Just like I couldn't separate my feelings for my mother who left the Imperial Castle with Natalie as an offering to protect my brother.

I thought it would be complicated for Jill.

She seems to have grown up to be loved, so I think that's even more so. Thinking like that, she dodged the lit window and walked with her feet. The feel of the left hand that was passing through the wall suddenly changed. I wonder if it's a book. It seems that there is a bookcase on the wall.

"... so many books in the King of the South's bedroom..."

Surprised?

I was shocked when my voice came back. I turned around in a hurry, knocked down the chair nearby, and the staggered back hit the bookshelf vigorously. Fortunately, the book did not fall, but it seemed that the knocked-down chair hit the study desk, and the booklet and clock-like objects fell from it, and the paperwork danced.

"Books are clusters of knowledge, early wisdom." It's wild to preach to the princess of the rational country that there is no reason not to learn. "

"... Your Majesty, King"

The figure moves in the back of the bed. I can't see my face, but I'm sure of it with Rufus's voice.

The chair that Natalier kicked down moved on its own and came to Natalier in front of her.

Please, I don't know what to say.

Natalier leaves the bookshelf and sits on a chair.

“What's the question? Why am I here when my son is supposed to be watching me from the womb? You saw me as a son. Do you know that?"

"... it's probably because you and your son made a homemade selfie with all the noise in the country." No matter where you are, you don't have to act in contradiction from the Dragon Queen's eyes. "

"If you knew that much, you knew the note was a trap, didn't you?" I wonder why I'm here. "

"It would be an honor if you came to ask me if you didn't know that." It means he's got the king and prince of Claytros in his hands. "

"I'm surprised. I'm still here to gather information." You're good. [M] I thought it was out of line among the Lavée royal family. "

Nathalie grabbed her cold sweaty hand on her lap. I'm honored by your compliments, but I'm desperate. Even the movement of the shadows that Rufus sits on makes him want to escape.

"Well, you know you're going to be killed from now on." Why is that? "

”... I realized that I was doing a selfie to hug the Dragon Queen, so it's faster for me to get rid of her before I blow something into her”

“So, why haven't you been killed before?”

"I may have instructions or information from the Dragon Emperor who went missing." She was an amateur princess. If you let him swim a little, it won't be a burden.... you've found it, Niisama Hadith. Then the dragon queen will come to my rescue from now on. But I can't make it. I wonder if Hadith died because he abandoned me. "

Rufus applauded slowly.

"Excellent. Yes, you were the perfect irregular actor this time." Even if nothing happens, we have to be vigilant, and we have to change the script. Besides the dragon queen trying to help you, I can't deal with it easily. I think it is the Dragon Emperor's aim to confuse the Dragon Queen in that way, and I think that it is the Dragon Emperor's replacement. "

"Substitute...?"

There was a sign of Rufus nodding back.

"Yes, all the kings of Cleitos are substitutes for the Dragon Emperor." I think the emotions you have instead are real, but you're interested first, aren't you? I don't leak it either. [M] That's why I thought about your position in order to become the Dragon Emperor. "

Rufus, who stood up, was approaching. The lights from the large diagonal windows illuminated the sharp face.

You are the bait for the Dragon Queen who will be killed. You are a discard pawn.

The color of the eyes I looked at was different, but the noisy light that lived there seemed to say that with a gentle laugh, but it certainly felt very similar to my brother.

I'm not moving. I'm ready to move.

I told you, I'm the sister of the Dragon Emperor.

Besides, Rufus and possibly Gerald are still misreading Hadith's intentions.

Nathalie is not a discard pawn. A litmus test. A pebble that drags the true nature of the Cleitos side of the water to undulate the silent surface. That's why I pulled out the information until the end.

My brothers will definitely help Natalie.

"The Dragon Emperor is very happy." That's true, too. A true king doesn't take a life. He is the king who sacrificed his life to everyone, like a feather gathered in the light.... in that sense, I must be a substitute. No one will risk their lives for me. "

Well then, why don't you dedicate the Kingdom of Kreitus to the Dragon Emperor as well. Doesn't that mean you rule Kreitos instead of the Dragon Emperor? Father-in-law. "

Sarcastically, Rufus rolled up his eyes and shrugged his shoulders.

"The idea is novel.... it's a shame. There's no future for you to be called your father-in-law."

"Oh, it's too early to draw conclusions." You don't know why I'm here. "

"Oh, are you still trying to confuse me? Your toughness is quite disgusting. Gerald got lost. Should I kill you or not?... maybe you're thinking of sweetening it to make me decide."

Rufus seemed to have thought about it. And he laughs like he's flinching.

"All right, then, let's find out why we absolutely must kill you."

Rufus laughed in front of the stiff Natalier.

The hand of the clock that rolled from the writing desk to the floor does not yet refer to the time in the note.
