"You've seen something surprising..."
Cecilia jumped out of the old school building and almost spilled out her bag.
I don't think that's what this relationship is at all like, and I predict that it was just an accident, but I can't dispel the feeling that I've seen something somewhat embarrassing.
(If Leanne had found you, you'd both be in trouble...)
I don't know if Leanne's index finger will catch her, but her sensors aren't so sweet that she can see through it. Cecilia laughed bitterly at the fact that a thin book would have been mass-produced.
"You're both going to be paintings."
It was when I spilled it looking up at the old school building like that.
Ah, here we are! Cecil!
When I saw the voice coming, I saw Jade running towards me.
When he stops in front of Cecilia, he puts his hand on his knee and breathes on his shoulder.
Cecilia shouted in amazement at his impatient appearance.
"Jade! What's wrong?"
"I see. Um, the teachers are looking for Cecil..."
Huh, why? Did I do something?
I wouldn't say I didn't know it at all, but I'm sure Jade didn't do anything to desperately look for it like that.
As Cecilia's eyes blinked, Jade uttered an astonishing word.
"Somehow the King came to visit me and said, 'I want to see Cecil'..."
Your Majesty!?
Cecilia twisted her cheeks.
Apparently, she still hasn't had time to rest.
..◆◇◆
"You really dress up as a man and go to college, Cecilia."
"I'm sorry." Your Majesty..... "
Cecilia lowered her head with a blue face to the salon in the academy.
She confronts the king of this country in the same place where she was previously summoned by Oscar.
The salon's entrance was staffed by soldiers, but there were only Cecilia and the king, who sat in front of the king's sofa with their eyes down.
Of course, Cecil remains dressed as he is.
"You don't have to bow your head. I'm the one who gave you permission. If you want to stay out of sight, you don't have to say anything. Lucinda told me.... well, my head hurts."
“I'm sorry to bother you.”
Cecilia lowered her head again.
Somehow he resembles Oscar, rubbing the wrinkles between his brows. Seeing the figure, Cecilia bowed her head in her heart again. I'm really sorry.
"Well, there's nothing I can do about it." So, that's the point. Actually, I got this from Nortlach the other day. "
The king slipped a letter before Cecilia.
What's this?
"It's an invitation... to Cecil Admina."
And Cecilia said, "What?” he said in a stupid voice.
When I hurriedly took the letter and checked the sender, it said, "Laurent Sarange." Sarange is the name of the royal family that reigns over Nortlach.
The king pointed to the sender of Cecilia's letter.
"He is the fourth prince of Nortlach. I mean, Prince Janice's younger brother. I don't know why, but he wants to invite Cecil to his country as a guest."
"Cecil...?"
If Cecilia has an invitation, I still know it. She is the daughter of the country's top nobles and Oscar's fiancée. If you want to deepen the connection between countries, explore each other's stomachs, build a pipe, or invite Cecilia, there is a reason for that, but "Cecil" doesn't give any reason.
"He--Does Prince Laurent know what Prince Janice did?" That's why you're going to [Cecil]? "
That would explain why Cecil was being summoned, but the king shook his head loosely.
"No, because neither side has finished investigating yet." I'm sure only some of you know it. I told my brothers that I only told them "disappeared".... "
He said so and stroked his chin, as if he had spoken to the king of Nortlach.
However, when it comes to that, it makes more and more sense. Where did you find out about Cecil? If I knew, why would I invite you? The letter only says "I want to invite", and I cannot know the reason. All I could do was imagine that it was unfounded.
As Cecilia bothered her head alone, the king slightly lowered her tone of voice and repeated her words.
“Nortlach is cooperative in finding out where Prince Janis is. But even so, it's not entirely on our side. There's a good chance you're hiding Prince Janice as if you were looking for her."
“I mean, this is a trap?”
"As expected, I can't say that much." Prince Janice deceived Prince Roland into calling you to harm... I think it's an easy situation to imagine. "
Speaking of which, the king buried his back deep in his back.
The summary of the story is said to be complete.
Cecilia opens her mouth as she thinks for a moment with her spine stretched out.
“How does the King feel about this letter?”
“If I'm being honest, I think it's another chance. I don't know where Prince Janice is, even if I spend a lot of money. I can't abandon the possibility that Nortlach is hiding."
So the King wants me to find Prince Janice?
"That's right, I would be grateful if you could do that." Of course, I'm not saying it's impossible... "
Cecilia's smile flashes on her sad face.
Until the end of March, Janice, who was free to manipulate the barrier, was like a bomb to this country. A dangerous presence that could overthrow the nation. That dangerous person's information is a priority right now.
So, from his point of view, we should really give orders to Cecilia.
Go to Nortlach and gather some information. If Janice seems to be hiding, report it. "
and.
But he doesn't do it.
On the contrary, it gives me a good choice by communicating the dangers.
I liked his posture.
(Somehow it feels like Oscar's father.)
Besides, there's also the fact that we can't let the invitations get out of the way.
If this letter had reached Cecilia, she could have used her position as the Duchess's daughter to refuse, but Cecil's position was that of the Baroness's son. There was a good reason to decline, and it was hard to make a good reason for the baron's son to decline the royal call.
"What are you going to do? If you're going, I'll take care of the escort." Of course, I will also have a female servant. What kind of anxiety is it to go among men? "
Thank you for your concern.
If the king tells me this, I can't refuse anymore.
(And...)
A woman floats in Cecilia's head.
(Maybe Elsa will find something too.)
Ever since that incident, I've been hoping to see you again.
If I had met you differently, I might have gotten along, but I might have been able to get my mind through...
It was the only thing left.
Cecilia bows her head deeply.
“I am very pleased to welcome you to Nortlach.”
In response to the words, the King apologized with an even more sad face, saying, "I'm sorry."
