The Tale of the Teapot Hero’s Revenge

50 On the eve of the showdown

My name is Belle.

Just a slave.

He's just a slave you picked up as a shadow warrior because he looked just like Princess Perne.

I was educated from scratch, learned the letters, and learned the manners so that the princess's replacement would come together.

It was a tough training, but it would be much better if you were a slave.

Heaven only has a good meal and a warm bed.

Sneak in, hide in the back of your mansion.

Though there is no freedom.

Now I pretend to be Princess Perne, though I can't even let you name me my real name.

Still, if you can live as a princess in a castle, it's heaven compared to being a slave.

"Dear Perne, it's Elia. Excuse me."

"Yeah, go ahead."

Reply calmly to your knight's voice.

To Elia who came in, let her smile.

I'm perne now.

The second princess of this country, Perne Peltranto Deltirado.

To the bottom of my mind, I can play perfectly.

"Example days, Lord Gillius and others discussed yesterday, and we have finally decided. Tomorrow, as the sun sets,"

"Yes, at last? I'm sure my brothers and sisters will lose a lot of their lives too. It hurts my heart......"

At a time like this, Princess Perne would say:

Sitting by the window, with distant eyes.

"Princess, I'm guessing how you feel. But --"

"Yeah, I know. This is the path I have decided to take. Whatever, wave your sword fully, Elia."

How dare you tickle the loyalty of your accompanying knight?

Elia is simple, so I'm immediately curious to get on board.

"Ha!!

This is how you motivate your handkerchief and use it as good.

That's what the princess does, isn't it?

That's what I understand.

"... Elia by the way. I wonder what I should do that day."

"Lord Gillius will take command. Master Perne is in the training area, which is the main unit, just sit down. And then we'll finish it all."

"Really? I'm asking you, Elia."

Is Princess Perne in the main force me then, or is it real?

Though it only makes me a little nervous.

... Can I do either?

I just play one of me then.

"... Dear Perne, how do you feel about that?

... Huh?

My acting should have been perfect.

I should have kept my smile perfectly.

You think this nibbly bastard spotted you for real?

"It's okay."

Take my hand, and smile at me.

"I will surely protect you. No matter what happens, I will always protect you. In exchange for this life."

On the back of your hand, mouth.

"... you protect me, take this me"

"Yeah, be sure."

... I'm Princess Perne now.

But what about this high chest beep?

This belongs to Princess Perne, too?

Without knowing anything, in confusion, I just kept playing my part, Princess Perne.

● ● ●

"Finally, tomorrow..."

"Oh, tomorrow. Long revenge is over."

The night before the intrusion.

Me and Reid are in the basement, spreading the view of the castle while we open the liquor.

Ten years after that day when they burned my father and mother alive.

There have been many sacrifices.

Mr. Cain, for example, Stra.

"Didn't it work? Stra's arr yesterday."

"... it feels like now. I haven't forced him to do any resistance activity in a long time. I'm sending you to an ops meeting."

"You don't like that either, for her"

Oh, no.

You should know for once, to that extent, you must have been sick of him.

"It's all my ego that taught my little one so much. He wants his hometown back."

"I guess I was motivated by one of the reasons you were so excited."

Sure, Reid, for a while since that day, you've been amazing.

To special training in magic, I even started special training in martial arts that I didn't like, and spent all my time reading and fishing for military law books other than resistance activities and training.

"I was glad to hear what you meant. It was a mistake to ask Stra to do that."

He has the way of life he wants.

I couldn't figure that out. I might disqualify my brother.

"Well what, it's all over tomorrow. Then I can't let Stra resist anymore, regardless of Mon. I'm free to do anything, whether it's chores or love."

"What about you? What are you gonna do? When this battle is over."

"Ah? You idiot, you're not thinking about that, not even on the edge."

"Really? I want to go home and see the sea. [M] You and I want to take it easy fishing by the sea again."

"Stop it, you're gonna shrink underfoot?

Open the liquor and tap the empty cup onto the table.

"I'm not thinking ahead. I'm just going to think about tomorrow and bet everything tomorrow. I don't know about it after it's over, you just have to think about it after it's over."

"... Ha, you look like you. But it makes sense."

Reid also drank and slapped him.

"I'll bet everything tomorrow, too. All for your victory."

"Our victory, right? I'm counting on you, buddy."

○ ○ ○

Princess Perne, was it Belle, not now?

Melo and I are getting along so well, we're singing together.

Yeah, when I see it, I'm really a normal girl.

I've been hiding in the basement until Elia got home.

Melo, I looked somewhere young to play with, and one question came to my mind.

"... Hey, Joana. How old is Princess Perne?

"Though I'm thirteen?

I see, younger than me or Beat after all.

But the tenth prince I met yesterday, he looked older than me.

The Taglio of the First Prince is about the second half of the year, isn't it, Arr?

"But the Second Princess...? Thirteen......, that? Uhm......"

"Age, you look hooked. I'm glad you're interested in someone else."

"Ugh. If you don't know, tell me."

... I've been told a lot lately that things have changed.

If that's really the case, I'm sure it's because of Beat —— not because of Beat.

"In answer to Kirier's question, the First Princess is fourteen. And the thirteenth prince is fifteen."

"You're obviously crazy."

"I have medicine for pregnant women. There's a drug that can kill the sex of the fetus."

Ha, I could largely read it.

"The first thing Burtoghu wanted was a comma for war. He gave birth to a boy who was likely to be more combative for that. So, the next thing I know, I need a girl who's gonna be a tool of politics."

"Okay, that's enough. Okay. I only understood that he was shit."

Oh well.

Even my own child thinks it's a tool.

I have to kill more and more.

Spend a surprisingly normal time, it's time to go to bed already.

Tomorrow at last, but it doesn't make me feel like I can't sleep, and I feel calm.

I guess it's because Stra was as usual.

To the usual delicious dishes, a sermon to the leader.

I felt like I was back, and something calmed me down.

Concon.

"... Hmm, who?

"... eh"

Returning a reply to Knock has not responded.

That means Beato.

Have you come to bed with me today?

"You can come in."

"... Huh!

When I gave permission, Beato in his pajamas came in with a pillow on him.

This kid is just as usual, too.

……

... and I thought, you look anxious.

After putting the pillow on the bed, spread the parchment and salad the brush.

Looks like we need to talk.

"Tomorrow, what is it?"

"That's right, tomorrow. I'll finish it all tomorrow."

"Come back at all, Buji."

"I'm not going to die. I'm not impotent, I'm not running alone."

"Absolutely."

"'Cause... whoa."

Momentum held him tight and rolled him straight onto the bed.

That's like being pushed down, this.

He's got his whole weight on him, he's got his head on his chest, but it's not heavy at all.

"You're already in danger if you suddenly hug me..."

"... Huh!

Beato, are you shaking a little?

What's wrong with you?

"... Could it be, you're anxious? I don't think I'm coming home, or something."

……

I nodded.

Keep your face nodded to your chest.

Oh well.

Did I make you nervous again?

... After all, I don't like that Beato looks spicy.

I want this kid to laugh.

I wonder what I can do to ease my anxiety.

Just a thought, I came up with it.

"... well, keep this hair decoration."

……

I've always been with you, winged hair decorations.

Claire gave me a birthday present.

Remove my most important treasure.

This is what my sister looks like.

I'll leave it with Beato.

I'm surprised. I put it on Beato's forehead.

Oh, you look great out there.

"... eh... eh!!

I'm flushing my head to the left and right.

I'm guessing you're saying you can't accept something this important, I'm sure.

"I'm not a wacko to give you. Because I just want you to have it. To have it back, I will definitely come back to Beato. You can trust me a lot more than you promised, right?

I'm sorry I can't take Claire, but I don't like it if the fight breaks down too hard.

It would be safer for me to have it for Beato.

"…, eh"

After a little thought, I nodded and hugged him again.

Looks like you nutted me out.

"Yeah, let's go to bed then"

"... eh"

He nods with cockroaches, goes down from above me, and hugs his head all the time.

"Good night, Beat"

……

When I'm wrapped in the warmth and smell of Beato, I'm still relieved.

I hate to admit it, but I don't know if I can do it without this kid.

Soon I heard my sleep from above my head and my consciousness soon fell into my dreams.

In the dream I had that day, my mother and Claire came out.

A very happy dream for the three of us.

I always say thank you for eating delicious food and helping my mother with her work and chores.

I told Claire to thank her for the hair decorations and played with her a lot.

But at the end of the day, I'm sent out of the house by the two of us.

Soon, I was lowering the swordbreaker to my right hip.

The two of you dropped me off, and I'm going.

Without looking back, go to Diete, the king's capital, towards the castle of Burtoghi.
