The next morning, Alexei picked up the glass pen handed over by Ekaterina and headed for the Imperial Castle.

The day before yesterday, he was given a glass pen by Ekaterina to check on the Empress.He was just as impressed with this gem as he was.

"Looks like your craftsman raised his arm a lot."

"Oniisama thinks so, too?I'm so lucky to have met Lev! "

Ekaterina said that with a bounced voice.The glass pen I gave Alexei is inferior to the Empress's.Is that okay as a bra?

"... oniisama's glass pen, thank you again.I'm sure it's going to be even better now.Oniisama wants you to have the best. "

Alexei smiled at the words.

"I have the best.My sweet sister gave it to me to celebrate my birthday.

... until then, I thought I was stupid to celebrate my birthday.It's just one day.But you told me that it wasn't the day, but someone to celebrate it. "

Alexei reached out and touched Ekaterina's indigo hair. Brush down gently.

Alexei's glass pen is light blue, his hair color, and the indigo color of Ekaterina.

"Every time I see your glass pen, I remember it and my heart warms up.No matter how wonderful Her Majesty's glass pen is, what you gave me is above me. A treasure. "

Ekaterina looked up at her brother and raised her eyes.

"Oniisama... I'm really happy with that word."

Wow, I'm so happy!

My gift warms my heart!

Oniisama, it may be natural because it's Ciscon, but I've worked hard to give it to you with all my heart.I'm so glad you took so much care of me!

"I said something stupid, please forgive me.The value of things is determined by each mind.I'm happy to know that my gift warms oniisama's heart. "

"Stay happy, my dear Ekaterina.My treasure is better than a glass pen because you're happy. "

That said, Alexei smiled.

"It's going to be a little bit later, but it's going to invite a painter to the evening.I'm a painter who painted my portrait with your grandfather.I want you to join me in the evening and entertain him. "

"Yes, I'll do what oniisama wants."

Though I felt like the topic suddenly changed from a present, it was Ekaterina who answered clearly.

After sending Alexei out, welcome the promised guests.

"Lady, thank you for speaking up!"

Camilla Croce greeted her with a heightened level of tension. I'm a dress designer.

It seems that she has the momentum to drop flying birds now.Ekaterina asked me to spread the word, and the dress that took advantage of "blue in heaven" became popular, and the order came to her as soon as I introduced her.The dress she was wearing was also more sophisticated than before.

Still, when Ekaterina invites her, she seems to be on her way.

"I've heard so much about you.Thank you for spreading our dye. "

"Such a waste of words... even though it's my turn to thank you.Thanks to me, I've expanded my design. "

Camilla's eyes were shining with expectations. Ekaterina smiled.

My grandmother's dress was still in the territory.

"Again....! Ah, no, then"

"I'm sending it to you.I'm putting it in the dress hall, look at it. "

"Thank you!"

Camilla lowered her head deeply.

Yes. Ekaterina sent the royal capital a number of dresses stored in the northeastern wing of the castle of Yurnova, where her grandmother Alexandra lived.

When I discovered it, Ekaterina was worried about what to do, but for the time being, the imperial capital certainly had someone to help it.

That's designer Camilla. Let her see it and use it as a design reference.

In fact, I showed Camilla my grandmother's dress, which was stored in the Imperial Capital Mansion, before my classmates took it home.

In the Empire, designers rarely have the opportunity to take a closer look at dresses other than those they designed.If you think about it, designers can't attend evening parties where ladies in dresses gather.There's no way designers can exchange information with each other.

Dress designers basically become apprentices to their masters and take over their designs to some extent.However, Camilla said that she had competed only for her own sensitivity without a master.So it was tough until we got on track.

When I heard that, Ekaterina's brain was filled with a passionate continental theme song by his head violinist.

This kind of story is a bump from the previous life.

Camilla has already established her own style, and if other designers' designs are rounded up, it's no good just to be suspicious.Just digest it and feed your sensitivity.You can be sure of that, or that's what happens with reason.

And improving her ability as a designer will also lead to increased sales of the "blue sky" she uses.Aim to expand the advertising effect for free.

That's why he invited Camilla to show off his dress before the garden party where he invited his classmates.

Camila was impressed by the fact that she was not crying, but she sketched the dress with great momentum and investigated the structure of the part of her concern.And it really widened the design.It will also contribute to the current momentum of flying birds.

This time, Camilla often brings two apprentices with her as assistants.It would be a good study for them to see the many dresses handled by different designers.It could be a contribution to the future of the imperial fashion world.

"If there's anything that bothers you, you can take home.I think it would be a good idea to use the material for a new dress. "

"No such thing....!"

"Please don't hesitate."

Honestly, I'm in trouble with handling it, so I'm lucky to reduce it.

"Some of those things my grandmother didn't even put through her sleeve.They're all beautiful and handsome, but they're so pitiful.I wonder if the dress would be happy if at least some of it could be used to adorn someone and please them. "

"Well, miss...."

Ekaterina's words were tears in Camilla's eyes.

"Think about the dress, the maker, that way... every time I see you, my love for your daughter increases!"

"Oh, oh, no, not really."

No, I really want to recycle my dress.I think Camilla's success will also benefit us.I can only be confused if I'm so impressed.

"From now on, please give me your daughter's dress.I will continue to refine my whole body and spirit so that you can appreciate me as a designer who makes dresses that best highlight the beauty of your daughter! "

"Thank you very much...."

Even though there was such a scene, Camilla and her disciples vigorously sketched the dress and unraveled it and went home.

And Alexei returned from the Imperial Castle on time.

"That glass pen is still very much your favorite.I was impressed. "

Well, I'm glad!

Ekaterina was delighted when she said that right across the street in the morning conversation room.

"I'm sure Her Majesty will be pleased.The Emperor was sure of that. "

If my husband is convinced that he has always given his wife the best gift, he is sure of it.

"His Majesty has specified the elements to be incorporated into the glass pen, but he has been entrusted with the fine design.The original design was wonderful, and I didn't think that this size of glass would allow such elaboration. "

"That's right. Thank you very much for recognizing Lev's talent."

Your Majesty praises you… in this world, the glass pen praised by His Majesty the Emperor, the Emperor of the great empire.It is a great point of appeal when people from the Chamber of Commerce come to see it.Let the nobles and princes of all countries advertise it.

Ekaterina is inspired by the merchant Hariri.

Alexei looked at her delighted sister with kindness, but her expression came out.

"and reported to His Majesty what happened in the Territory."

……

Ekaterina sits back unexpectedly.

What happened in the territory must have been the encounter between Xuanlong, Dragon King Vladeforen, and a giant dragon with comparable strength to an army in a country.encounters, and - about the proposal.

"I've told you everything I've heard from you, and I've received a report from Oleg and Mina.His Majesty listened in silence and said, "

Such a powerful dragon would benefit the Empire if it were connected.We can increase armaments without labor.Even if you don't know if you can actually move the dragon, it will be suppressed to foreign countries.

But in the remainder of the impression, if Ekaterina ordered him to marry him, would Xuanlong still feel uncomfortable?That's what you said, you're not going to put a woman who doesn't have a heart on her side.

Then, if Ekaterina's heart turns to the dragon, that's it.If it doesn't suit you, you can't force it.It depends on Ekaterina's mind.

... it's the name of the Empire to have one of its elderly women take responsibility for armaments.The Empire will be protected by the rest of the army.I think it should be. "

"That's what I told you...!"

Cheap!

No, if you make me angry as a bad person, it's a judgment of "snake," and it's a prudent and decent way of thinking.I suppose relying on a dragon, an element of uncertainty, should be avoided as a politician.

And the Dragon King certainly said it was an order from His Majesty, so even if I show my face, he will tell me to go home.Hey, maybe you can hold onto the dragon.With an authoritarian cling.

If you're an idiot monarch, in the same situation, be a servant to make the Dragon King your ally!Let the dragons conquer our neighbors one after the other!Or something like that. And the Dragon King is angry and the Empire is destroyed... hey.I'm glad you're a wise emperor.

Even so, it's cool to say it!

It's called the name of the Empire... Ugh, our Emperor is cool.I'm glad I'm the son of the Empire!

"I have renewed my loyalty to the Emperor.How generous of you to say and make the right decision. "

"Yes, I agree. Once again, Yunova wants to be the most loyal of the royal family."

Alexei narrows her eyes and smiles.

... I don't suppose, depending on your judgment, you didn't intend to flip the flag of every Yunova.No matter how much Ciscon oniisama, that's enough.

I'm scared because I can't tell you without it...

"By the way, that..."

Alexei coughs up small.

"Xuanlong... what do you think?The other day, when I saw her, she certainly looked good.... "

"Oh, oniisama is even nicer.Oniisama is one of the most wonderful gentlemen. "

Without a doubt, Ekaterina replied.No matter how beautiful the Magic Dragon King is, is there any other answer?

I see.

Alexei was apparently relieved.

"You're still a kid in this way.Tell me when you have someone you want to marry.Don't worry about the dragon or anything else, I'll give you everything you want. "

"Yes, thank you. I'll do what oniisama says."

It was Ekaterina who replied comfortably that she would probably not come on such a day.
