The Unbound World’s “Normal” is Difficult

"Ah... it's a lie!

A defiant man's voice struck his ear faster than an extremely serious word was spinned.

The Lord of Voices is an elderly man dressed in clergy.

He stood to kick up the stakeholder's seat and shouted with a steep face was Saint Marquis Rodrigo of Espiana.

"Despise Espiana to his kingdom, throw the royal family into a nobleman, and exploit him from the wretched people. And while that happens, it's a thief's fierce attempt to blame me for that crime! In the honor of Espiana, I categorically protest against Lucas von Rudendorff's remarks!

Ex-royalty, originally from a frontier country, but very fluent in Lutheran. There are objects on his face, and he speaks magnificently.

However,

(Now!!

The intrusion into this phase completely united the hearts of the audience.

It is true that for him, or as a matter of social common sense, this protest may be a serious matter of contention for a moment.

Nevertheless, at this moment, Elma and Lucas are the stars on the stage. The Marquis's actions were nothing but a complete de-aeration of the field.

"As if I had fattened my stomach while levying heavy taxes on myself.... Okay, for the record, it was I who reached out to the poor poor for salvation, and the villain was King Luden!

But when I heard the Marquis's lips strangely emphasizing the edges of the words, some realized his true intentions.

Marquis Rodrigo is not protesting against Lucas.

He desperately insists on someone.

"... Mr. Rodrigo."

Someone who disturbs their hair and drags the hem of a torn dress as they slowly approach it.

Just now, after being blown to the edge of the stage, I managed to pick up my body and stand up towards Anna.

The eyes have a dark color, and the body is shaking slowly.

From her unfocused eyes, it soon became clear that she was out of her mind.

A beastly roar leaked from his throat, and his trembling hand was like a sharp needle.

She is searching for something with a cloudy consciousness.

The one who explodes the hostility imprinted on him - the one who attacks him.

Rodrigo realized that the subject would be herself if one step went wrong.

"Ah, Anastasia, cute girl. Don't ride King Rouden's brother's cowardly scheme. They're all lies. It was Rouden who laid the oppression and exploited you. That's why we have to resist it."

…………

Rodrigo switched his speech to Espiana when Anna arrived at a distance that she could touch once her arms were stretched.

A gentle intonation, a persuasive talk.

The tone he has spoken to many adopters to date.

When I looked at him and spoke slowly, the simple rural child believed him as much as he did.

So this time too, Rodrigo pretended to be calm and gently smiled.

Of course, however, the "resistance" must have followed due international procedures.... you know what I'm saying, right? Come on, Anastasia. Put away that mess. "

In fact, Rodrigo had ordered the assassination, and he was planning to cut Anna off after the decision, but it's not a good idea to proceed with the assassination now that he is suspected of ordering it.

At last, he slowly lifted his arm, carefully choosing the words, so that he could turn to the motto "I stopped the assassination by lecturing the runaway adopted daughter."

--Chirp.... nh.

On his shoulder, a clergyman, is a wide cloth that mimics a prayer cloth, burned with a white floral scent and a small bell on the tip.

A scent that melts people's reason and a bell that can be rang simply by moving your arms.

They hit the implied tools, and he freely manipulated the children by imprinting them with this scent and tone.

Two types of tools make brainwashing stronger.

(Although it is difficult to act too strongly at times.....)

It was also a big mistake for Rodrigo that Luden's bell tower and bell had frequencies of the same period.

However, on the contrary, there is nothing like manipulating a daughter who is brainwashed more strongly than doing it with a bell.

Rodrigo called her adoptive daughter's name in a gentle voice, with her usual smile on her face.

Anastasia, come on.

--Chirp.... nh.

When she rings the bell again, the clumsiness fades from Anastasia's body, and she sits on the floor like a threaded doll.

Seeing the poisonous needle rolling from his loose palm, Rodrigo gently exhaled relief in his heart.

For one thing, this weapon, Mutsume, no longer fears being attacked from close range.

Earlier, you were in a lot of trouble. I wonder what drove you away. It's okay, I'm on your side no matter what. I may have an interview with Ruden after this, but I'll be sure to be there.

--Chirp.... nh.

…………

Gradually modify the implication so that Anna can cover all the sins.

Rodrigo was deeply satisfied that the adopted daughter crouched down without rebellion and remained staring at the floor.

It has to be this way.

Come on, it's okay now. I'm here, so raise your face. Just like when I rescued you from that despicable and starving cold village, this time... "

--Gako......!

He remembered his deep satisfaction, so when the dull sound sounded, he couldn't understand that it sounded from his side of the head.

"............ eh?

It feels gloomy.

One beat and a fierce pain came.

Your vision flashes and your body relaxes.

Gura... and Rodrigo, who fell into the spot, stood up behind her.

"... the trick in solving the implication is first to shock yourself and disconnect your interest. And then, to turn away from the implicit."

Murmuring indifferently as if the student were repeating the learning.

"Focus your awareness on one point and even think about it."

Only the right side of Ana's glasswork shoes, which adorned her feet and stood straight on the stage, was missing. Because I just threw it.

Ana, who had regained her sanity by Elma's riot, continued in a quiet voice.

You gave me bread, but you didn't give me seedlings. He smiled, but he never touched us. Although you praised me... my face was always cold. "

There must have been a lot of facts to notice.

Why did Rodrigo come after Anna and the others were weak?

Why did you just grab Anna and leave the village while saying "I'm here to save you"?

Why did Espiana have a fine mansion with a large number of adoptions while saying that he was being exploited by Rouden?

If Rodrigo was trying to save that cold village while despising the poor Ana, it would have been good.

But...

"I... our village wasn't exploited by Rouden. The ex-royal espiana of the business... you used to feed me."

Tears seeped into my brown eyes.

However, the stripped legs stepped firmly on the stage and supported Anna's body.

Stand on your own will.

She thought that was enough for now.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Don't even listen to the other person, it's a mistake. The truth is, he's right, we, Ruden, are imposing heavy taxes on your village, and maybe he's the right guy.

"... when I look at my face, I can almost see it."

Ana turns to Felix, who talks like a joke.

Then he knelt on the spot and put his hands out.

"I think the Great Majesty is wise in all circumstances. My foolishness also caused a series of sins. Please, don't execute me, don't send me to jail, please."

With his cloudy eyes, it can also be seen that this man, who has always been a fool, is a famous man pretending to be all fools.

If we leave it to him to recall concrete examples of support for Kamura, there will be no problem with the fate of his hometown.

I had too much of a sense of daze about my future, and I couldn't think of anything.

"... until then, it's like a master (...)."

However, Felix took the magically offered arm, which seemed pleasant, and Anna stood up.

"I'm not sending you to jail. Execution."

"What about it?"

"When I see a girl who beats the mastermind down with her shoes and offers herself to go to jail, it's like a type that wants to be beside her asexually."

"... what?

I've never heard of such a type.

Anna, who had unexpectedly become a chaotic face, said "this story" and knelt at her feet.

…………

"It's hard to stand with just one heel. Don't take off these shoes."

That said, I can take off the shoes left on my left foot.

When he stopped looking at the workmanship on the tip of the shoe, he murmured, "It's a glass shoe," and threw it behind him.

"You prefer to step on the earth barefoot, don't you?

Yes, look straight into Anna's eyes and laugh.

At first I thought he was a stupid king, and now I think he's a smart man like a fox, but showing his teeth and laughing is surprisingly refreshing.

In surprise, he stood still staring at Anna.

Green eyes remind me of my home forest somewhere.

Somehow his face approached him without turning a blind eye.

An unexpectedly large hand turned around Anna's shoulder, and...

--Crispy.

…………

"Oh, it looks good on you. All right, all right."

Feeling a slight weight on her neck, Anna leaned back momentum.

………… ………… Here, this... "

Gold workmanship that bounces back the sun in a dazzling manner and a necklace with lots of jewelry embedded in it.

It was undoubtedly a "queen's necklace" that could be awarded to the winners of this selection board.

"Congratulations, you have shown admirable loyalty to my order to 'cut off my adoptive father Rodrigo'. Instead of interrupting the engagement story, it's very different from Elma, who was being fractured by you and Rodrigo. No, this is already a unanimous victory for you."

"Nh...!?

Words are no longer coming out of the unexpected.

Elma, who had been interrupting the conversation until then, listened to Felix's remarks, and her eyes were filled with emotion and she glanced at Anna.

"Dear Anna-sama....! I was honestly perplexed by the various conversations I had with His Highness, but I didn't expect you to have such a profound concern to prevent me from fulfilling my orders...."

No! Because it's different!

Anna screamed in her native language, but Elma just shook her head like she felt it.

"Ana-sama..."

No!

It would obviously be strange to think calmly.

In what world is there a man who tries to wife a woman who wants her life?

Is there a country that wants to make an assassin queen?

Felix smiled and spread his hands to bluish Anna.

"It's okay, it's okay. Because public opinion doesn't matter. After all, I think that this kind of feeling is more important than the surrounding eyes."

"'My'... - No, where do I think!?

Anna, whose mother tongue went out unexpectedly, screamed sharply as she rushed to Ruden.

"Ah, I know a lot of Espiana, so you can keep talking. Wow, are you gonna respect me? I mean, you like men who are respectable, inclusive, mentored, calm, and always smiling, right? I mean, it's me."

…………

How far has the bottle fallen out?

And what is that confidence?

Felix gently stretched out his fingers and stroked his necklace on Ana, who made her mouth pucker.

"Yeah, it looks good on you. I visited Espiana when I was still a prince, but you were dressed as a maid at the Marquis, weren't you? I admire my husband like a dog. Ever since I saw that, I thought you'd look great in a collar."

I feel like I've heard something terrible.

"Since then, have you noticed me...?

That's why we had a selection meeting.

The strong question was answered in fluent Espiana.

Now I'm a romantic man. Well, I thought it might be impossible to get married, but things changed a little bit, and... I decided to reach out for what I wanted. "

His remarks have a lot to say and he can't grasp all the truth.

There were only three things Anna could tell when she was sweating like a waterfall.

Well, I wonder how the Marquis of Rodrigo will cook. If I throw him in jail, he'll have an interesting chemistry reaction with Clement, but I think he's wearing a little bit. Let's start with Count Finnen and the merchant. "

The first is that the man in front of me is competent and cunning so that he can't compare Rodrigo.

Well, Miss Caroline, as a "reward", we'll make it an extenuating circumstance. Anyway, I have to appreciate the work you've done to get important information about your preferences. Look, I'm just and fair. "

Secondly, the man in front of me has a strange way of prioritizing and self-evaluation.

Yes, that's why I don't want to force you, basically. Unlike the Marquis de Rodrigo, I don't push your feet into cramped shoes. Because I'm greedy like a hungry dog, I'm acting like a weed, and I like you as you are, so I can step on the earth with my own feet. "

And three...

"Above all, the collar on my bare feet, the necklace... is really like a dog, right?

Severe pervert.

"............!

Felix told Anna that she was going to fade and remove her necklace with a faint smile.

"Ah, don't worry, it can't be removed except for me."

There are no reassuring elements.

Looking back briefly, Felix forced her shoulders and raised her other hand high.

"Thank you, everyone! The queen is safe!"

The audience gloated at the announcement.

They said, "Eh....? Is that okay...? After brewing air like this, I started clapping with a puzzled face.

Still, it's group psychology, and applause is getting bigger and bigger.

Soon, surrounded by applauses and cheers that were loud enough to shake the venue, Anna just stood there in total confusion.
