Yotogi no Kuni no Gekkouhime

The evening after Alye visited Ilone's room, in the same room, there were two people who dined in a rare combination. One is Queen Irone. And the other is Princess Moonlight, whose name is Serene, the child in question.

There is not even a waiter in Irone's own room. On a table that's not that big, there's a simple line of things for a royal meal. It is not so much a dish of aristocracy as a common meal that is soothing and pleasant to eat in the family.

…………

…………

Irone mouths her meal silently and Serene does not speak the same way again.

Butler watches it softly from under the table.

(I hope Princess Marie's suggestion goes well)

Butler recalls what Marie said during the day.

That was just before noon. Irone had another official business, and when he returned home, Alye also took the form of helping him with it. Milan and the others were arguing in the meantime about what happened to Irone and Serene's friends.

In the meantime, Serene was asleep due to illness (pseudo-morbidity). I've been working a lot lately at noon, but basically Serene doesn't move very actively while the sun is out. I just sleep in the zoo, living like an unmotivated capillary.

"I have a good idea!

Now, while Serene slept as if she didn't care about the prospects around her, Marie suddenly mentioned that.

"In my experience, it's not a good idea to argue that I have a good idea."

"What. You haven't said anything yet."

Marie swells her cheeks, but Milan gives her a much blurrier look. Marie was also a lot firmer than before, but she is still a child. In particular, we are now working on a very delicate issue. I don't expect Marie to do much more than that: mental stability of Serene.

"A good idea is what?

Hinoe gently interrupted the conversation between Milan and Marie. Hinoe, sensitive to reading emotions, apparently decided that even without using her abilities, it could be a fight if she stayed this way.

"Well done. You listened. That's right. Queen Irone and Serene have dinner together."

"Dinner?

Milan nearly stumbled against Marie, who confidently strained her chest. If just eating dinner would resolve the parent-child discord, the term family separation would not exist in this world.

"'Cause Serene's never had decent dinner with your mother, has she? We're all gonna have dinner together when we get our family together, right? I think there are things we can only talk about in places like that."

Indeed, Marie is right, the Helifarte family values family reunification wherever possible. He is the father, and he has followed the current King Schburn's policy of "There is no way that he can make the people happy to those who cannot take care of their families".

Although royal, it basically doesn't change the style of eating with the common people. It seems like we're going to do that.

"That's why I'm so cheap………………"

"No, it might be a good way to show off."

"Bear bee!?

Milan shouts out unexpectedly because the bear bee present said a line that would endorse Marie.

"Isn't there the word" friends "who ate the same pot of rice? Of course, I wouldn't mind a ton of applause, but at least I'd rather have a chance to speak with Lord Serene and Lord Irone in a broken stomach than outsiders taking such measures."

"But given the attitude Queen Irone has taken towards Serene…………"

"You think the Queen could harm Lord Serene?

"You can't deny it."

Either Milan was worried about it. Of course that possibility is equal to zero, but not zero. Even knives are used during meals. It is possible that the blade is not cooking, but is headed for Serene.

"Haha, the Prince sees Lord Serene as so important. Well, if you're going to guide your lifelong partner, of course you are."

"Don't tear it up."

Bears laugh, but Milan is the top of the Buddha.

"Of course, an awkward man will be waiting nearby to be rushed immediately. It is the duty of the awkward to protect the peace of the prince, beyond being an escort to the prince of Milan."

"Even so, Serene and Queen Irone are alone in the room………"

When Milan was still trying to argue, he heard an unexpected noise.

Turning to the ringing one, a black and white mouse tied a red ribbon was nestled just at the window frame.

"Serene Keeper Rat...... You did say Butler"

When Milan said so, Butler rang small to reply. It's like we're having a real conversation. Butler quickly jumped out of the window frame and jumped over Bear Beech's shoulder at an unnoticed speed.

"Well, apparently Lord Butler bought the Serene escort and left."

Butler nodded as the bear turned his head and laughed at Butler.

"And well, this is how Lord Serene seems to have a bodyguard attached to him. Don't worry too much."

"Do you ask rats to escort you?"

"Without Lord Butler, we wouldn't have been able to respond with agility during the curse disturbance."

Indeed, it was this rat who noticed and told the bear bee as soon as possible during the curse that the curse threw up a few years ago. You are definitely a fairly clever rat, similar to the Lord.

It is true that it is a fairly clever rat, but the fact that it resembles the Lord is wrong.

"Butler, can I ask you to escort Serene?

When Milan said so, Butler cleverly stood up with two legs, all the while saying, 'Leave it to me', in the act of slapping his chest with his forefoot. He was like a human being, and the members around him accidentally laughed.

"Okay. Rat escorts aside, it's certainly not an official place, it might be a good idea to have a discussion in the position of mother and daughter"

"Hey! That's a good idea! When you're my brother, I don't really make the decisions."

Of course, I can't count on a rat escort, but I'm the queen of one country with an iron. There will be no harm in leaving Serene, famous as Princess Moonlight, to the emotions on the spot. With that in mind, Milan agrees to let Serene and Irone spend their evening time alone, to this day.

"Nevertheless, you two are unable to measure the distance… I hope it goes well"

Butler is in the middle of a softly escort mission from the blind spot on the table so that Irone doesn't find him. Both Milan and Bear Beech are half the joke, but as things stand, the butler is the one who counts most on them.

Assuming that the next moment Irone stood up to shake the knife in an exasperated fashion, Butler would let him fall by hitting Irone's foot at super high speeds. For Butler, who breaks the unleashed arrows in the air, there's not as much creation as that.

But Butler doesn't want that either. This is only dinner for Serene and Irone to shrink their relationship. It's best if Butler doesn't turn up.

"……… I've never dined with you before."

"Yeah."

Almost at the same time as Butler's recap ended, Irone opened his mouth more first. Serene replies without any twist. 'Cause it's actually the first time, and that's not why I have something to feel.

For Serene, Irone is undoubtedly her mother, but she hasn't been much liked since she was born, and as Serene, it's the perception of someone else with blood connections.

I had the most difficult emotion to deal with, not hating it or liking it.

"When I sent you to Helifarte, I never thought the Holy Prince would fall in love with the princess of Archira."

"I don't deserve it!

"That's not true. I think it looks great on you though."

"Untouching!

Naturally, the two talking 'Princesses of Arquila' are separate. Irone says Milan fell in love with Serene, but Serene thinks it's about Ale, so the story doesn't engage anyway.

"... Why are you so despised? Sure, it used to be, but now it's got to be fully proportionate."

Irone was strange. There is too much difference in identity between the Second Princess of Arquila and the First Prince of Helifarte, but Serene today is a moonlight princess who spread her name throughout the continent. From anyone's point of view, it is a suitable couple with no more than the difference in years.

Serene is desperate to get Ale and Milan together. Hi. As far as Irone's reaction goes, it sounds like he's saying that the Milanese bastards and Ale look great. Very bad.

"I, hey, Mamoru. So, uncle, it's hard."

"……… Protect Alye?

Serene's words follow, and he needs to read the context because it's a bump. Irone rotates her head fully, imagining the thoughts of a brilliant (laughing) moonlight princess.

- And I came to one conclusion.

(This kid is talking about Alye... No, that's not all. Maybe he cares about me too!

Serene and Milan, including Irone, are perceptions of compassion. Naturally, you will want to be united as soon as possible with Serene and his beloved Prince Milan.

But Serene doesn't jump cheaply. If Milan and Serene are united, they will receive blessings from all over the continent. But it is Serene the Moonlight Princess and Milan the Holy Prince.

What will happen to the remaining Ale and the homeland of Arquila? Of course, Archira becomes an ally, and Alye, the sister of Princess Moonlight, also comes of value. But that's in a political sense.

Alye will probably be in the form of a daughter-in-law to an upscale nobleman, but I don't know if there is love there. Irone is also aware that it is full of barely binding small countries.

If we become allies with Helifarte, we will have complex relations with other countries. At that time, it is not necessarily possible that there will be no adverse effects on the Arquilla, starting with Ironette.

I guess that's why Serene continues to refuse to engage Milan. Even if the Prince of Milan is concerned, Serene must have pulled herself away after her sister, Alye, had married her first and stabilized the country.

(If so, is this child trying to protect his family and hometown at the expense of himself!?

Of course, that can't be happening.

Irone doesn't have very good feelings for Serene, her real daughter. The primary reason is that I don't like it physiologically somehow, but the disgust begins to turn into another emotion one by one.

"Maybe what I don't like about you is not physiological, but out of fear."

"What?"

Serene was molly-eating the prepared stew, but Irone groaned pompously, so she turned around unexpectedly. Irone stares at its loving face.

Adorable girl like God bless her. But there is something nestled in it that you may not be comfortable with. That's what I was thinking. But I just don't understand Ironette, so maybe it's a very honorable thing.

However, so that God's contrivance may not be understood except by the man to whom he has been entrusted.

"…… Today was the first time I was glad to be able to talk to you. Now I feel safe."

"Yeah? Yeah."

Irone shrugged so after being silent for a while. Serene, I'm not sure what it was, but she was satisfied, and, well, yeah, it felt like it.

"……… it's time to open up."

That's what Irone said, finishing the meal. Serene was just finished eating, too, so the two of us ended our dinner party there.

"Ah! Serene! How'd it go!? Did you get along with your mother?

"Normal"

"Hmm, well, if we could have dinner normally, would that be a step forward?

Marie at the top of the note was also concerned, she sighed in relief as she hugged Serene, who had returned safely. As for Serene, I don't know why you're so worried because you usually just ate dinner and came home. But Marie hugged me, so I decided it was all okay.

Simple Serene ended ok, but Butler dived into Serene's clothes and circled his thoughts with his arms wrapped around him like a human.

"...... Queen Irone's mouth, I'm so curious. Let's try a little exploration later. '
