Returning to the castle, Arnold and Leechee decided to take a bath before dark.
Rinse off with seawater and sunscreen, then twinkle your body with homemade soap.I'm not afraid to bathe alone in the light.
After leaving the bathroom, my hair was completely dry, and the door of the room where I was replacing the study was knocked.
Else, the maid who entered, bowed her head politely.
"Dear Mr. Riesch, the goods have arrived from Chairman Tally of the Aria Chamber of Commerce."
"Thank you. What do you think of Elsie?"
"Yes...! Chairman Tully is amazing!"
Else raised her face and said while sparkling her eyes without expression.
"What arrived was exactly what I expected.I was surprised that what I asked for in the morning just arrived in the evening, but it was perfect for what I asked for.... "
With a smile on her face, Riesch stood up and decided to move on.
The other party has already spoken through it.
However, when Rieschett visited the room, she reacted with a heartfelt surprise.
Hello, Harriet.
"Ri, Ri, Ri, Leeche-sama...!!"
"So, are you okay!?"
Harriet, who tried to get up in a hurry, slammed his knees against the table.As Rieschett rushed over, Harriet said with a crying voice.
"Hmm, why, why is Riesh-sama in my room...?!I'm sorry to bother you, I'm really sorry to be alive...! "
"Oh, calm down, Harriet.I made a request through the maid to ask for your time in the evening..... "
When she glanced up at the maid in charge, she tied her hair properly and said with a neat expression.
"If I didn't let you know in advance, Harriet might fall asleep because of the stress of waiting times."
(T-That's true....)
Leechee laughed bitterly at the sound of it, which was by no means a great sadness.
"I'm sorry, I really wanted to talk to Harriet.- Apart from that, I would like to ask the maid in charge. "
"Ah, yeah, I heard that.When I tell Riesch's maid about Fabrania's maid's work.... "
The maid-in-law nods with her eyes closed with a clear face.
"I understand. I wish I could share my experiences with the girls who are still inexperienced - I am still in the process of learning with you, but I will do my best to encourage you."
"Thank you, ma'am.My maids were also very pleased. "
The maids have grown accustomed to most of their work and have just begun to remember the letters, little by little.
Diana, an education clerk, intensively taught me the words and letters I used at work, so that I could take simple notes about my work.
When that happens, learning will be fun.
When I asked if I wanted to hear the maiden's story, I saw all of them raise their hands.
(... speaking of greed, I would have liked to hear from the maid...)
However, Riesch's essential purpose is separate.
"Well then, I'll go. --I 'm sorry to leave that to you, but please."
"Yes, ma'am."
Else, who was standing beside the door, nodded with a magical look.
When the maid of honor is gone, there will be three people left in the room for Harriet.
"Ri, Riesh-sama, um..."
"Harriet, do you have anything you want right now?"
With such a question, Riesch lowers her hips gently to the bench.
The neighbor Harriet seemed to be getting more nervous as a result.However, Leechee waited calmly and opened her mouth slowly.
"and, especially the..."
After a small voice, Harriet hurried through the words.
"Ah...! Garchain is a lovely place, and the room is beautiful.In the sense of luxury.I'm sorry...! I can't tell you anything at a time like this... "
"Don't worry, I don't want to talk about it, I want to know."
Having said that, Harriet looked strange.
"Dear Harriet, if you get as much as you want, whatever you want...."
Lots of books.
Reescher rounded her eyes slightly in response to the clear words.
"I want so many books that I can't finish reading or reading."
"Mr. Harriet...."
"But you can't just 'get it' and have it all to yourself.... I don't want to make a lot of books my own, I want to share them with everyone who likes them... ”
I wonder if imagination alone made me feel happy.
Harriet said so with joy and leaned down to embrace his fantasy.
(I knew it.)
Riesch is sure of that.
(I don't think that Harriet here is just crushing the treasury and suffering the people in order to buy and collect her own jewels and dresses.... no matter what happens next)
So I asked him what else he wanted to know.
"--You were talking about your face earlier."
In front of the Aria Chamber of Commerce, Harriet said.
"If I show you my face, Your Majesty may tell you a story."
She's still stretching her forehair long enough to hide her face.
"What if someone said something terrible to Harriet?"
"What a terrible thing...!! He's just saying the truth as it is...!"
Harriet says with an airy bright smile on his mouth.
And he taught it to himself as if he were talking about a past that was nothing.
"When I was twelve, I decided to marry His Majesty Walter...When I was there, I went with my father, my brother and my mother, who was still alive, to greet Favrania.... when His Majesty, who was still a prince... "
……
"It's embarrassing, isn't it? At that time, I was floating, and it didn't suit me very well, dress me up...."
Reese narrowed her eyes to the words.
"Well, no matter how many times I remember, I don't know.I wasn't supposed to be dressed like a beautiful doll, but I was stupid.How could you show His Majesty Walter a face that was blind and offensive?even if it's strange for me, ehehe..... "
A dry laugh that deceives a broken heart.
That's why Riesch opens her mouth.
"... what's embarrassing is the hurt side, not the hurt side."
Harriet trembled his shoulders.
(I'm sure King Fabrania told you exactly what Harriet said himself.)
Riesch continued as she waited for her face to fall asleep.
"Harriet, what's wrong with your eyes?"
"W-Wait, it's me. When I noticed it, I was staring at my surroundings..."I didn't mean to do that, but my unconscious strength came in, and I felt angry and scared. "
……
I had a feeling that the words had a faint imagination.
"Thank you. I'd like to ask you this next question from Harriet when he was a child."
"Huh, yes...?"
"When I dressed up in person.--Was Little Harriet happy? "
Harriet has breathtaking signs.
"Wow, I, no.... when I remember, I'm really embarrassed..."
Reescher grabbed her hand as softly wrapped.
"... do you feel the same as Harriet when you were a child?"
"......!"
Your little lips are tightly tied.
Harriet leaned down terrified and squeezed out a sobbingly small voice.
"...... no......"
The weak voice spins quietly.
"It stinked... but I wasn't ashamed.Go ahead, give him a little bit.... if you don't think I don't like this marriage. "
"... Mr. Harriet."
"Well, the truth is, His Majesty Walter wanted to get engaged to Princess Garchain.But I was told it didn't come true. "
Leechee is surprised by the unexpected.But now, Harriet's problem comes first.
"... you didn't originally hate fashion, did you, Harriet?"
"....."
Leechee's hands are slightly trembling.
"Mi... I'm ashamed of myself.Even I hid my face with my current slutty stretched hair.... as much as me with a bare face. "
Harriet slowly talks about his thoughts.
"But after all, it's disgusting.... I just want to be 'fashionable and change'."
"Harriet-sama."
"I know. It's so embarrassing and embarrassing...!"
Leechee softly let go of her hand.
Instead, he strokes Harriet's head gently.
Ri, Riesh-sama?
"I'm sorry if I was rude.... so trembling, I told you something so painful."
I felt like Harriet was blinking under her forehair.
"When I was trembling, someone stroked my head and I felt so relieved."
Yesterday, I remember Arnold doing that to Riesch, who was afraid of ghosts.
Harriet's blonde hair is still well cared for and has a silky feel.
Fu, that's strange.
Harriet opens his mouth with a soft but unexpected look.
"I feel like I can do it with peace of mind."
"That's good."
Relaxed and smiling, Harriet leaned embarrassed and opened her mouth.
"... Mr. Riesch, but why are you doing this to me..."
"I'm sorry, but I couldn't leave you alone."
"Eh......"
She strokes her golden hair.
"With all due respect, Harriet."
As she stared at her, Riesch told her clearly.
"--Your eyes are dry"
"............ Huh?"
I get a response that I heard wrongly.
But it's never a mistake to hear or say.
Leechee explained it to her again with a clear intent.
"Probably definitely dry.Perhaps you always read a book when you have time and read with candle lights until late at night?I was in the process of training as a bride, and the maid in charge seemed harsh, so I saw that it was possible that I was reading it in the moonlight so that I wouldn't notice what was happening. How about that? "
"Hih, hieh, why did you do that...!?"
"Focusing on the work at hand reduces the number of blinks and makes the surface of the eye drier.Come over there and get this forelock.The presence of objects in close proximity to the eyeballs can place a heavy burden on the eyes or cause minor scratches. "
Harriet gradually faded blue at the words of Leechee, who spoke with a serious face.
Perhaps there are verses that come to mind.
"Try it, Harriet. Can you keep your eyes open and not blink for more than ten seconds?"
"Nh, I can't, I can't just imagine...!"
"Normal people can open it without any problems."
Reescher repeated to Harriet, who seemed shocked.
"Dry eyeballs and subtle scratches on the surface make it easier to feel dazzled.Also, if you try not to dry as much as possible, the way you open your eyes will be restricted.Do you know what this means? ”
"Could it be..."
That's right, your face is unconsciously caught in the eyebrows.
Leechee remembers that Harriet was always looking down when she was walking around the city yesterday.
She may have her own personality, but that's probably not the only reason.The city's walls are painted white, reflecting the early summer sun.
In her eyes, it would have been too dazzling.
In order to escape the stimulus a little, it is likely that he was walking while looking at his feet with little reflection.
"I had a little knowledge of pharmacy.... but I hope it will help Harriet's health a little bit. ”
"Ah, ah, that's..."
“Tell us, Harriet.”
Leechee peered into her eyes at her forehead and laughed loudly.
"I want to be stylish, but if you say you feel ashamed to even wish for it."― ― "For your health", if that's the reason, can you be brave?
"....."
"Else"
When Riesch called, Else, who was standing by the door, came out long ago.
The box next to her holds several dresses that Elsie ordered from the Aria Chamber of Commerce earlier.
"Excuse me, Harriet."
"Hih...! Hihhh..."
A thin scream echoed through the room.
