The Unbound World’s “Normal” is Difficult

"Can you stop Lucas and Caroline von Heinen from getting engaged?

"... what?

Elma, like Anna, seems to have lost sight of her words.

It's unusual for her to say, "But... can you tell me again? Asked with a bite, Felix responded with a smelly smile on his face.

"Yeah, that's why. Lucas and Miss Caroline are having an engagement talk. Well, I was the one who lifted it."

The audience groaned.

Lucas, the king's younger brother and knight, the most colored man in Luden, is popular with noble civilians alike.

His engagement story was more interesting than who the queen would be if he succeeded.

"Caroline... eh, just lost...?

"She's famous for being a big fan of His Highness, but she didn't pretend to be such a fan of His Highness at all....!

"A political marriage!? I didn't hear you!

Especially women can't hide the shock.

Together, his gaze, his questions and his anger flew like a storm toward where Lucas was sitting.

"Really, Your Highness!? I knew you were targeting Elma, and you weren't targeting her!

"Well, you ran away to safety because you couldn't dictate. If you give up the game, it's over."

Irene screamed at a momentum that could grasp Lucas's breast hold, and threw up Deborah as if she despised him.

Behind him, he said, "Yes, yes!" Hearing the women chorus, Lucas slightly twitched his face.

Apparently, the reaction was not due to a mourning that the admired knight would marry.

"... when did my perception quality drop so much..."

"So, what's the actual situation?

"I've never heard of this before, but I can't believe I was really engaged to Finnen-san.

Lukas whispers with a sad voice, and Irene and the others ask her breathlessly.

However,

"Is there such a reason? I've never heard of it either."

Lucas just snorts when he says so.

However, for the first time, there is room for that attitude.

Before the two of them opened their mouths, Lucas quickly took a seat.

"My brother-in-law must be planning something else. I'll be there before the damage spreads."

That's what I'm telling you, and I'm going down to the stage.

The audience naturally paved the way for that too majestic and smooth step.

"It's calming down, but... Your Highness, I wonder if it's all right if you've just left. Isn't this where you fly and get on fire?

"At least, Your Majesty doesn't seem to be joking."

Irene and his companions are stirring up, and they are followed, and they remain on the spot.

Looking at it, Elma continues to listen to Felix.

Apparently, I've heard more about Lucas's engagement, but her expression hasn't changed.

"Nh, I'm already playing with Bardokun's cheek again...! How much you love your brother in this situation. I don't suppose you'll start celebrating your engagement..."

Irene, who watches Elma on the stage, twitches and pairs her hands.

But Deborah, who heard it, raised one eyebrow.

"Pinching your cheeks? That would be a pleasure for His Highness."

"What about it?"

Irene, who lost her sense, looks back at her colleagues with her eyebrows raised. And then I saw the other person nodding with my face for a reason, and I came up with a certain fact.

Deborah, daughter of Frenzel. As a "neighbor" of Walzer Prison, she said she frequently visited children in prison.

I mean, she knows more about Elma these days.

"Hey, what does that mean?"

But just then, the bell tower connected to the stage played a soft sound, so Irene spoke aggressively.

At some point, the noon bell will ring.

Normally, the tone of the royal castle, which was heard comfortably from a little distance, like the sound of a clear bell, was as close as this, and my heart felt tingling and trembling.

Irene looked over and finally tried to question Deborah, but it didn't work out.

Because there were more things going on on on the stage.

"Well, anyway, it's my first Queen's Selection Meeting, so I thought it would be a good excitement for the first time, and actually, to a certain extent, I've secured some kind of sakura or gorgeous personnel. After all, if you recruit a queen, you'll be illuminated with zero entries, right?

On the stage, Felix continued to explain to Elma.

"I want to raise the level of the meeting and show my muscles (Elma). At the same time, inexpensive items (mobs) are indispensable to stimulate the competitors' minds and increase their participation in other events, such as' I think I can do it this much '. In that regard, Miss Caroline was beaten up, but if I honestly told her about the situation and wished to participate, I'd be in a bad mood."

"... the most natural consequence."

"Hmm, so if you stay on a good line, you can finally get engaged to Lucas. Then I'll do my best when I see Miss Caroline."

Felix slightly tilted his neck after speaking in a loose tone.

"If you think about it, you and Lucas were pretty good, right? I wonder if it's a bit like tearing it apart. Look, I'm a famous gentleman who takes such subordinates' minds into account. That's where I thought."

Green eyes that reminded me of a fox glowed.

"Well then, Elma. I'll give you a chance."

"Opportunity?

"Yes, if you don't like Lucas's engagement story, you can stop it. I'll give you that chance. You can also decide how to interfere. [M] How's that so sweet?

But if we try to stop Lucas and Caroline from getting engaged, then Elma will have a future to be Felix's wife, saying, "I have fulfilled my king's orders."

Anyway, if he didn't do anything to refuse the King's orders, Lucas would be together with Caroline.

It's like a demonic proposition.

Felix smiled as if he was enjoying Elma's reaction.

"Come on, Elma. What will you do?

"--Where did my will go before that, brother-in-law?"

At that time, a low, ear-touched voice echoed on the stage. Lucas.

Coming down from the guest seat, he looked down at his half-brother and narrowed his eyes in order to live long.

"Engagement requires the approval of both parents and the person. At least I've never heard of Miss Caroline's engagement, and I've never liked her."

His reputation as not embarrassing to a woman is quite straightforward.

It was said that he had never had a favor, and I saw Caroline lying in the corner of the stage distorting her face.

But while recognizing it, Lucas didn't dare to speak up and kept talking.

"Isn't it quite impossible to make the final issue of this selection board a story of engagement that I don't know about? No, let me be clear, please don't be annoying and uncomfortable."

"You're starting to say that. But if that means approval, then I'm your relative, too, right? That's fine because I approve it. [M] Regarding the approval of the person -"

Without being upset by Lucas, the sudden intruder, Felix lifted the edge of his mouth.

"I have information that you visited Miss Caroline at the hotel last night. Visiting an unmarried woman's room late at night... isn't it wonderful that in this aristocratic society, engagement is accepted positively?

Lucas raised his eyebrows in disgust, but he didn't deny it.

At least it is true that I visited Caroline's room.

"Suppose you only went to deliver the gloves you dropped at the nursing home yesterday?

"You shouldn't be the one who accidentally visits a woman's room at night. You should take it for granted that we have a purpose."

"... well, that's true."

"See? This is no longer an engagement. See, Elma?

The colour of the flag looks worse on Lucas.

Speaking of which, Elma just tickled Bardo's cheeks in her arms, even though Felix was pointing water at her.

When she heard Bardo laugh with a sweet voice, Anna, who had been watching the conversation for a while, returned to me.

It's not when you're looking at someone else's Shura Hall.

"Um..."

Speaking up, Felix glances back.

What?

Unlike a few years ago, the eyes that I saw quite close were surprisingly beautiful as jade.

However, his smiling face was hard to read even with his trained facial decoding skills, and his whole body was full of vigilance when he was in front of him.

Even if your words and actions look loose, there is no gap between them.

After all, it will be necessary to close a little distance now in order to put a poison needle into his emergency. --Yes, until you give me the necklace directly.

"Could you please explain to me why you made such an order?

We can't screw up here.

How do you expect Felix to avoid unpleasant orders to harm Rodrigo?

Anna went through her thoughts desperately.

"If showing loyalty - giving me the challenge of hesitation - then there should be other options. Cut your hair or get naked here."

"Eh, is that your hobby? I don't know what to do, I'm getting so excited...."

"That's not true!

Disrupting the pace and roughing up your voice.

Anna tried desperately to hold on to her feelings, but Felix made remarks that would trample on her efforts.

"If you ask me why the Marquis... hmm, because I don't like it? You're not listening to me."

It's not much of a reason.

It's whimsical and selfish. I don't think of anyone as a person.

Anna was astonished at the way King Rouden was.

(Master Rodrigo may be looking down on me, but this is less than that.)

As long as I have these men in my patriarchal kingdom, I will never visit Anna and the others in peace.

It was Anna who held her fist again, but when she heard Felix's next words, she unexpectedly relaxed her strength.

"Especially, anti-poverty measures, super incompetent. It doesn't make sense to scatter bread where it's weak, so even though I've told you so many times to support it in a long-term and systematic way, I don't even want to identify poor areas."

"Eh...?

Seriously, I stare at the man in front of me.

With a sluggish tone, he shrugged his shoulders with a slender expression.

"There must be more. You want to develop cold-resistant seedlings or have the national army spread fertilizer around every three years? You know, setting up schools and nursing homes, educating them not to have children unplanned."

The "poverty measures" that are spinned are somewhat specific.

Anna felt a strong discomfort.

(It's strange.....)

Because, according to him, Felix is an outrageous and dull king who does not understand the harsh status quo of his kingdom, Espiana, and imposes heavy taxes.

"Why are you reducing the tax rate? When I took the throne, I wanted to put it in tightly. That's why. So, Elma, I'm going back to you..."

Felix just finished explaining and quickly turned to Elma and the others.

At the same time, Anna turned to her adoptive father as if she had been played.

And I saw his face, and I lost my word.

Her face, which makes her eyebrows and lower eyelids tense and distorts her lips asymmetrically, is uncomfortable, irritable, and disgusting.

At first glance, Felix's statement appears to be false, with a look of blame.

However, Anna's eyes, smacked with a slight expression, read another emotion there.

--- Hurry.

(Why are you in such a hurry...?

Slowly, a nasty feeling spread to the heart.

I'm about to realize something very important right now.

However, at that time,

--Gala.... n!

Suddenly, a roar came from nearby and Anna interrupted her thinking.

The bell tower next door says twelve o'clock.
