"Eh! Have you seen Shea?
When I explained the encounter earlier, Sin was surprised... ahh, blurry.
"I met her."
"... wasn't that good? You didn't want to see him, did you, by chance? It's an accident...."
It was an accident.
I also have souvenirs.... Speaking of which, where did they go? I wonder what the dragon chief came to Vaza territory in the first place? I said something like an inspection.
As I lurked, Sin smiled and drew a circle with his fingers on my head.
"Is there anything around Remilia?
"What is it?"
"Attracting the Dragon Clan... something... like this..."
"Don't say people like animal food!
When I screamed small, Sin laughed.
I'm sorry and apologize for the uneasy tone.
Is there such an attribute!
However, I also think that the compulsion of the game... is unlikely to make Merger the site of a large number of dragon clans...
Vincent shrugged next to me in fear of bad feelings.
"Nevertheless, well... I'm in trouble"
"...?
When I ask, Vincent scolds Singh.
Vincent opens his mouth politely after confirming that Singh is welcome.
"I sent a letter to the head of the Dragon clan stating that Shinko would go to see him. I haven't heard back from her."
"You're not here?
"I'm near Shia... I had a promise to meet someone from another family.... Seems like Shea's asking you to do what you want. There's no point in pulling him out."
"... you will participate in the ritual of His Highness Prince Francesca, right? Until now, there is no Prince Wang who has never lived with the Dragon clan....."
I thought maybe he was coming to the game.
Stills didn't paint the faces of the Dragons, but they're beautiful! and Marianne (facilitator).
"Contemporary leaders don't like humans. I may not come to King's Landing."
Isaac smiled bitterly, so I nodded.
"... indeed, I feel like I hated every word..."
I asked the ceiling how Vincent felt.
"Even though Remilia met the chief, it's hard to hear that Prince Shin can't see him... Do you know anyone other than Dominic and the people here that you met the chief?
"No way! Not everyone knows... no, not really..."
The lord of this town is with us and we are witnessing it.
His mouth seemed so light... and I was able to swim my gaze, remembering how vague it was.
That's... dangerous.
They returned to the Mansion hours ago, as if they had kept their mouths shut. I'm even convinced that it would be useless to keep quiet from now on.
The princess of Vaza met the dragon clan leader, whose son Shin was paid in advance! And the captain left the dragons as messengers. That's Vaza! Even more than the new royal family, Vaza still receives the blessing of the dragon clan..... "
I can't believe they talked about it...
The three of them looked at my delusion.... that's a possible story.
Or Vincent went on.
"The princess of Vaza must have breathed something into the dragon chief. It's cowardly to run off and meet the chief in advance!... must be a pretext for a long rain inspection! That's what women do all the time!... Master Remilia's obstruction prevented Lord Shin from seeing the chief...!... and gossip, right?
I trembled with my hips. What a waste of reality!
I protested in a hurry.
"Vincent, don't talk to me like that!
"After Shinko failed to see Shia-sama... I tried to tell him about the rumors I was about to spread, but how about that?
I don't know. It's not!! Don't spread it! Don't spread it!
What a refreshing smile! This loathsome king!! When I'm scared, Vincent laughs bitterly at me for joking.
... anyway, I know it's a bad idea.
"Both are troublesome! Sin, please do your best to visit Master Shia."
"... I'll try, but I'm stubborn, that guy. He's probably still mad at me for following him."
"You know Shea, don't you?
"I wonder if you used to play at Theseus' house once in a while. Well, I guess I came to see Yang instead of aiming for him."
With my head in my arms, I remembered Sin's line, ahh.
"Speaking of which, I know how to make sure I see the chief...."
"Really? What kind of...?
Singh brightens his eyes.
It was precisely when I tried to name the defective dragon clan that I wasn't here - the door was kicked down without warning. The beauty of gray hair appeared on the brown skin, and Sin sounded disgusting.
"Hey, it's been a while. Sin!"
--Yan and Stannis, who appeared drunk, and Sin and his two Knights of the Guard, probably solidified each in a different sense.
◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆
Three days later, Shea ordered Yan to come back to her.
I think it was close to a plea.
So if Sin wants to see Sia, why don't you go with Yan to the Dragon Clan? I think so. I suggested that Yan lay ill behaved on the luxurious sofa in the room provided for me.
Take off your jacket and relieve your snowy gray hair.
Stannis twitched his cheeks in an overly relaxed mode, but I moderated my squire.
I just feel like I'm in a bad mood trying to fit Yang into this shape.
But I stared at him with a strange interest that the most luxurious furniture would suit him.
"Are you bothered? If Yan-sama and I were going back home, maybe we should all go together... I was thinking too lightly."
"... even though we're talking about envoys to the Dragon Clan, we're talking casually about going to the neighborhood, Your Highness."
"Because she's a clueless little girl. I'd be happy if you could tell me how it is, Master Yang."
Ironically, I hope you're falling for it, right? And I was remembering my late grandfather.
Yen laughed and waved his hand when he thought he said he didn't like it.
"I don't mind. If Singh's going with me alone, you can take him."
"...."
Vincent reacts with a twitch.
"Yunker, Kirchner. You guys be careful playing with Dominic and the ladies in this city. Leave the other guard knights behind. If you say you're coming with me, I'll go with you and convince you. He hates humans. When Zukazuka and humans visit the village, they don't come out in the mountains or anything."
Stannis was astonished at his teacher's explanation.
"You're a kid, aren't you, Yan? Is that okay with the Dragon Clan?
"I don't know!... let me tell you, don't ask the dragon clan for their qualities as politicians. If you're a lineal blood group and you have the strongest abilities, then the length is fine...."
Really!?
And I nodded that I knew more about the Dragon clan, and asked Yan.
If it is better to be straight line, is it possible that Yan-sama will become a leader in the future?
Yang seems strong. Isn't that possible?
The dragon clan that drew Western blood to my rudimentary question burst into laughter, and Sin looked at me as bewildered.
... nn. This question may not have been good at all.... but Yen gave it back to Hawk.
"I'm not pure blood. There is no line. The Dragon Clan and Vaza may be very similar in their attachment to blood and pure blood."
"... I asked you a rude question. Master Yang."
It doesn't matter, Yan laughs.
"I think it's stupid... but there's nothing they can do about it. You can't change democracy even if you suffer. Because my roots are shaking."
"... yes"
While listening to Yan's words, I remembered many of the followers of Vaza I had ever known.
... I don't understand the feelings of people who unconditionally admire me just by referring to me as Vaza lineage, and I've been afraid... many times.
As much as that, "Remilia Carol Vaza's mother is not a Vaza family. She is a dirty family member of Vaza," they accuse me of.
Both are fantastic things, not me.
"Even if it was mixed with humans, Sin would have been long if he had strong aptitude in his lineage. What a waste of time, Singh."
"... a lot of dragon clans hate bastards. I don't care about Shea, I don't care about Yaet.... I hate him. I can't live in the middle of nowhere."
Bastard.
Thin sometimes uses strong words.
I was surprised, but Yen was just laughing at this too. It makes me feel moody when I think that you might be able to tell me.
I also have a vague vision of the Dragon clan.
If pureblooding is what many people call hybrids... then the longing for them will fade.
And then I realized they were talking about something that bothered me.
Close to my immediate family... strong genius...
If Sin fits that, Sin's father is related to Sia, and Yen and Sin are close to each other....
The two of us continue the conversation without worrying about my gaze.
"I'm afraid of humans. So I'm afraid."
"Humans? A dragon clan?
"Because I'm a dragon clan, right?... think about it. Humans are weaker than wolves, but humans are strongest on earth. Do you know why?
"... why... uh, because I use fire?
"Hey you, come and study a little more. I've been studying at military school for four years. You idiot."
"... you just have to tell me clearly."
"That's a good shape. Use your head at best."
Yan lay his eyes down silently.
... I don't want to talk anymore, so I switch topics.
"If you're alone, I'll let you meet Shea and convince her to join Francesca's ritual of Tachidao.... you know he should have gone, too. But I don't think I should go except for you. I'll give you some advice. Don't do it."
"... is the dragon clan's village dangerous?
Stannis asked Yan in a quiet tone.
We looked at each other unexpectedly, but Yan affirmed it.
"Though Sin is mixed with humans, he is also a member of the same family. It is also powerful. Many of the dragon clans will treat with respect. But I don't know if it's for food. It doesn't mean you won't be able to stimulate and harm yourself. If you die, Queen Beatrice will obscure responsibility when it comes to Shea's participation in the ritual of Taipei. It can be cleaned up by accident."
"... that's barbaric."
"We're barbarians!... so what do we do? It's time to decide, but it's not a bad idea if you don't have to go with me and we're all going to the mountain to watch things."
"In that case, when we get to the village, will Yen plead with me to Shea?
"I'm not kidding. I'm sleeping in the middle of nowhere."
"... I see."
Thinking slightly, Singh said he understood.
Thin shakes his head to prevent Vincent from challenging it.
"I will speak to Her Majesty. ─ ─ I think Yan's suggestion is probably the most reliable.... yeah. Can you show me around?
"Okay. That's a deal."
Yang smiled and deepened his smile, saying, "There is another condition."
Sin looked down at Yang, who had slipped on the sofa in disgust.
What?
"I hear Dominic's having your welcoming party? Let me join you. I want to eat Northern cuisine in a long time."
"... that's fine."
... I kinda rushed to applaud, so for some reason, Yang and I jumped into the welcoming party surrounding Sin the next day... and I really jumped in to participate.
◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆
The feast was a small one.
Three of us from Vaza, less than ten with Singh and his escort. And Dominic and Sylvia came on behalf of Merger.
"Sister Sylvia, you're out of time."
"I'm sorry I'm late."
Sylvia smiled elegantly as usual and I felt a little uncomfortable.
"Have you lost some weight?
"I think I lost weight or something. I have a bad summer cold."
"Please take care of yourself."
Sylvia is a cheerful daughter of Katagina and is very popular with men because she is beautiful.
The Queen's maids are particularly prominent, so Sin's guards will be happy to talk to her.
... was Camilla's information that my cousin broke up with Dominic true? I thought it would be a little shameful.
"... hey, Stannis."
"Whatever, miss."
As everyone laughed at the transition to a standing meal format, I looked at the intimate man and woman with the glass in one hand on the veranda, and I sneaked up the name of my chamberlain mixed with the dragon genus.
Yen and Sylvia under the moonlight.
"Aren't those two strangely close?
"... well, how about that?"
"Have you met those two? I'm very close. Something's wrong....."
"Didn't you talk to Yan when he came to the royal palace before?... since Sylvia is sociable, I guess there's no further point..."
Stannis moaned with a bitter, bitter face.
Hmm... a beautiful man and a beautiful woman look good on you. I'm uncomfortable with Sylvia's careless behavior of apparently caring about another man at a drinking banquet with Dominic...
I look for Dominic and observe him as obviously as possible.
He was always entertaining his guests.... if you have any thoughts, you're not the kind of person to put it on the front page.
... he noticed a black-haired young man turning around next to Dominic.
I got scared for a second.
Isaac comes over here smiling as usual.
"Are you drinking properly? Yes, please."
"... thank you."
Isaac appeared with a fruit liquor in one hand.
Stannis called Sin to replace him and left my side.
"Don't worry, it's low."
"Don't worry! I don't think I'm that weak."
"... I think that's the most dangerous thing. It seems like I've been drinking too much."
"Be careful."
When I put out my tongue, Isaac looked a little far away and said, "I'm worried."
Isaac asks me unexpectedly when I'm having an enjoyable conversation without problems.
"What's wrong with my brother? I watched with enthusiasm."
"... yeah, well... maybe you're not getting along with Sylvia..."
Isaac nodded and looked at the veranda.
Yan and Sylvia are still talking. Don't worry about something more serious than a smile. What do you want to talk about? It is strange that those two have nothing in common.
"Yan and Sylvia, what a strange relationship. Aniki, I'm going to cry later."
I leaned and nodded at Isaac's blurriness.
"It's so weird... Sylvia, it's not like you're going to hurt anyone. I thought you wanted Dominic to hate you for being close to Yang....."
Phew, Isaac laughed a little.
"What, laugh?"
"Yeah? I thought it was fresh for Remilia to say that. I wish I could think about myself instead of my cousin Princess."
Isaac pointed at herself like a prank, so I choked.
--I like you.
Of course I can't forget what they said.
I want you to forgive me for putting it on the shelf because it makes the function crazy when I remember it.
Isaac shook his shoulders slightly as I said "uh-uh".
"It's hard to see him, and I think I'll come and stab him once in a while."
"... it's true that I'm so happy to see you."
"To us?
When I turned to Sin and Vincent, sensitive Isaac sharpened his mouth a little.
Vincent came to see us.
That's enough for now, princess.
"... already! If Singh goes to the Dragon Clan, what will everyone do?
When I heard it, Vincent, who seemed to have come to hear the voice, shrugged his shoulders.
"I think I'll be able to get to Merger and see the impact of the flood.... I don't want to ask for your help if Remilia doesn't bother you."
I nodded relieved that Vincent had come to me.
"Of course. I would be delighted if you could secretly tell the Prime Minister and... Her Majesty the Queen about the damage."
"Leave it to Remilia. Yes, this is also quite delicious."
Vincent gives me a glass of peach wine.
Isaac sharpened his mouth.
"Vince, what's mine?
"Why don't you bring it from there yourself? Sir Isaac?"
"... it's cold."
"Hate and no salt for Zach."
Vincent smiles with a smell and somewhat glossy face.
Isaac got a little stuck in his words and went to get the glass with his tongue out.
"Salt?"
"It's not a big deal. Please don't bother - but I'm glad. What you were worried about really became... and the damage was minimal."
"Yeah, really. I'm glad people didn't die."
Reconstruction may be tough. Life is irreversible.
Vincent and I looked at the people in the room in a little silence.
It is strange that silence is not painful when I am with Vincent.
In a room that's not that big.
The human pattern is spreading all over the place, wondering what it is.
I made my ears clear to the rain that began to fall.
