"You look just like me."

When Lila and Viola entered the reception room, the Emperor said that he was impressed. The Empress, sitting on the same sofa as the Emperor, smiled at the sofa in front of her.

"Please sit down, both of you. It's not official, so I don't mind a tough greeting. Is the dress the right size?

"Yes, yes. Thank you very much."

Even when Lila was disrespectful, Her Majesty did not break her gentle smile. But if you look at it, you can see that it's not just that person.

I can't be alarmed.

(You have to protect onee-sama.)

I slept all day and waited for Lila and Viola at the Imperial Castle, first in the bath. The ladies with the Empress threw them in the spacious bathroom and polished them up. The excellent girls were known for their skill and for seeing Lila's body wounds, they didn't change her complexion at all.

After applying lotion and emulsion, I began to wonder whether it was a guest treatment rather than a sinner. But I know the reason.

It's a magic incense and antidote made by my sister. The mansion burned down. The prescription is only in my sister's head or something Lila hid outside the Mansion.

I couldn't have a conversation, but my sister would have thought the same thing.

A carefully prepared set of dresses and ornaments changed my mind. The Emperor is dressed to see you.

Of course, there is no such thing as the right to refuse. There is no reason. Even if he's not free, the threat of his uncle is gone, and they treat him like a guest - even if he doesn't say it's a dishonorable treatment. It wasn't strange to wake up in jail.

Still, it was only natural that the Emperor should stand up, not knowing what he was thinking and what he was going to do with Lila and the others. Lila doesn't even know what happened to her uncle.

I might have been a little relieved if Walt had been here, but that would be sweet. He's not here. Of course, it would have been my job to secure Lila's suspicions and hold her captive. Viola, who was next to her, also looked around the room for a little while and dropped her gaze, but immediately raised her face and stretched her spine.

"What should we talk about?"

"Nothing in particular."

The emperor answered without hesitation. Unexpectedly, the Empress looked dazed in front of Lila and Viola.

"Dear Claude, Don't be mean."

"I just said it."

"I'm sorry. I'm glad you're here."

Aren't you angry? I was anxious to give back my relationship with Ha.

Before the Emperor and his wife.

"Don't worry about it. Walt and Kyle told me the whole story. I wish Count Luvansch had testified, but I'm sure he was in that condition. Claude and the monsters will be in custody for a while."

"- If you'll excuse me, I'll make the antidote."

"Thank you, but you know we can't swallow your suggestion?

Kokuri and Viola nod. Lila took it in silence.

"For us, the trouble is more with you than Count Luvansch. That's why I wanted to hear your story in person."

"As long as I'm dead, that's fine. I can serve you as you please."

"Onee-sama!

"So please have mercy on Lila."

Lila hurried to complain to Viola who raised her head.

"No, Your Majesty. My sister is helpful. So please give your sister a new life. Lila Levanche wears all the sins. That should be all right."

"Lira"

"Calm down, both of you. We..."

"What was it like for Walt and Kyle to be such a woman?

One of the cold demon kings froze without thinking about Lila or Viola. Next to the sighing Empress, the long-legged Emperor looks at them as if they were a fool.

"You're both just talking about yourselves. If either one of you is going to survive, why don't you pull the lottery and decide?"

Both Lila and Viola lost their words to a ridiculous idea. The emperor's attitude is no longer closer to that of an emperor than that of a demon king.

The wife lays her hands on it in trouble.

"Dear Claude, If you talk like that, you'll be confused."

"It's not what I know. [M] - Who gave Walt the incense?

Viola answers in a small way next to Lila, who frowns without remembering.

"... it's me."

"Onee-sama, when did that happen?"

"When you caught a cold. I thought if there was conclusive evidence, it would move me...."

"That's right. My guards broke my orders because of you."

Viola wasn't the only one who did it. The same goes for Lila.

"Well, how could you do that?"

"I believe in you because I believe in Lila Luvansch. I don't think he's a bad person. I don't know how I probably messed up."

I would have always objected that it was a lie. But Lila can only listen stupidly.

Viola is desperate.

"Wow, I wound him up on my own. Lila said nothing."

"Yes, and you tried to stab my uncle in the opera theater. In front of Kyle."

In front of a little lira, Viola shut up as if she had been struck.

"If you said you didn't know, that's fine. But if Count Luvansch died there, Kyle would have been blamed for allowing the Emperor to bring a blade near me. Are you still thinking about that?

……

"I may have broken my heart thinking about how much my guard ran around, and if I open my mouth, I want to help my sister. It's unpleasant."

Viola nodded. Lila also dropped her shoulders and chewed her lips.

Walt approached me definitely to find out about the magical incense trade. Isaac Lombard's name, which my uncle applied to meet, must have been used to alarm us. Walt, who entered the investigation, should have been given the incense by his sister and convinced that Lila was involved in the sale of incense in any form.

And I didn't catch him. It was known to the Emperor today that it was not negligent.

He must have run around saying something was going on. Lila gave up trying to uncover one of her uncles.

"Dear Claude, It's an exaggeration. I think they made the best possible choice within their limited means. And I feel guilty. Isn't it natural to worry about each other first?

Liked by the Empress, he shrugged his shoulders.

"But if you don't say that, you won't realize."

"Even if it is. Please take their situation into account and make your statement. Otherwise, a newcomer female government official might have started a strike in a gang."

The emperor with his eyebrows frowned, wiping and gazing away.

"You look troublesome, that's...."

"--I 'm sorry about Claude, both of you."

The Empress smiled beautifully, but her eyes did not.

"But let me just say this. No one can help you if you can't help yourself."

"... what does that mean?"

"Your treatment depends on your explanation. And Walt and Kyle."

Soon the blood came out of Viola's face. Lila's head turned pure white. We grasped each other's hands. But that's not all.

"Oh, no."

"Ah, they were doing a good job! I..."

"Harassment, not the usual office!

"Master Claude, you fooled us!?"

When the door opened, a yell came out. Lila stuck to Walt in a strange costume. Not the usual gentleman's clothes. It's a costume close to a military uniform.

"What do you mean, you heard the report in the office!?"

"Who gave you the slightest look? Elephant."

"I'm Keith. Thank you for your guidance on why you believe Claude."

……

For some reason the emperor spoke in an instant. The emperor was amazed by the two men who had once walked.

"So what's the situation, now!

"You didn't say anything extra, did you? It's not too complicated to talk about!?"

"We're talking about deciding which one to help with the lottery."

"Why is that happening?! Where did you get my report?

"Dear Claude, I should have given you the report. Where did you go?

Lila's attitude toward the Demon King was more obvious to the two people who were too scared. Viola, who doesn't move very much, is also unusual.

"It was too thick to read..."

"Then why did you make me write the report, harassment!

"Whatever happens to Walt, why don't you just leave it to me!

"I read about Elephant."

"Okay, I got it."

Kyle kneels first, just as she said the same words about what she found out.

Well then, I'll tell you. Oral! About three hours!

"Seriously....."

"Then I'll just give you a quick conclusion. Master Claude, they..."

"Wait!... please"

When I realized it, I was speaking up. Walt and Kyle turn around and the Emperor looks at the chaos.

I felt like I was feeling swollen, but I stepped on it.

"May I have your permission to speak, Your Majesty?"

"Go ahead, if it's more interesting than Kyle and Walt's sermons."

Walt and Kyle alternate their gaze to get lost. That alone made it clear what they were trying to bring to the emperor.

Think about it. We can't just let them cover us any longer.

What does this emperor want? I am not very interested in my sister's abilities because I say I will decide by lottery. It would be worthless even more for me.

(Wherever it is, it moves my mind. What was this emperor most angry about?

I held my sister's hand tightly once. My sister grabbed it back. I already know that's not all.

So he lifted his hands away from one another, and swallowed his spit, and looked forward.

"We are worthy to use"

What kind?

"First of all, as you know, my sister can make magic incense. Magic fragrance is harmful. It is only natural that His Majesty the Emperor should think so. But my sister also made antidotes. If you don't use it the wrong way, the poison will be medicine."

"Just get the prescription."

"No, what's most valuable is the ability of the sister that she created. You'll see that losing it is a huge loss."

The emperor turned his face towards us for a moment. But my eyes are still cold.

Don't be daunted, the negotiations are clear. Lila's chest tightened when it was enough to attract interest.

"We have been exploited by our uncles in pieces. If you had promised me a new life here, my sisters would have sworn allegiance to His Majesty the Emperor. My sister has no ambition in the first place. If you've been making medicine all along, you'll be happy."

"I see. So are you going to help me?

I took control of my sister who tried to say something. This emperor does not consider his sister to be of great value. It was a natural reaction, a natural question.

That's why it's Lila's fight.

"Of course, I can help. I was the one who established my uncle's magic fragrance trade route. The brokers, buyers and sellers of magic incense that are not in the books are all in my head. Some of them, of course, are big nobles. Some of them are looking at monsters."

Lila continued to the narrow-eyed emperor.

"Above all, if you let me live, you won't have any trouble treating Count Luvansch."

"What do you mean?

"Both my sister and I were going to flee to Count Luvansch's territory, if we could. I was ready for that."

I even hid it from my sister when something happened. Lila smiles as gracefully as she can to the reinvented Emperor.

"My uncle was a good countess here, but a tyrannical hater in a distant realm. Anyway, my uncle calls it a restoration of the territory to waste like hot water and collects heavy taxes. The territory is desolate and the people are on the verge of starvation. Everyone thinks our uncle must have killed our parents. If you were a wise emperor, you would know what that means."

"... the people are on your side, no. If you punish them badly, they will rebel."

"Even so, the people don't trust the royal family. Six years ago, I trusted my uncle in the accident in which our parents died. And it would be helpful if you could imagine where my sister's only prescription for magic incense is stored."

"It's not just a rebellion. You want to tell me that you can rebel with magic incense?"

"Such a terrible thing, from my mouth."

The emperor does not move a single eyebrow, but just sticks his cheek on the armrest of the sofa and listens.

"But I will not reveal all secrets to His Majesty the Emperor."

"Huh? Why?

"Because I don't trust the royal family that has never looked at us in the church before."

The Emperor sparkled. On the contrary, Walt and Kyle blued their faces. I felt a little relieved in a hurry.

"Nice courage. So what about you, the dangerous man, and your territory?"

The emperor raised his mouth with pleasure. The Empress next door doesn't break any elegant smiles. It's a couple like that.

So, honorably, Lila is at the negotiating table.

"But if you helped me, if you were Walt Lizzanine."

I want this emperor to be a tribute to my beloved.

"I confess everything. The prescription of magic incense and the names of the nobles involved in the sale of magic incense."

So let's dedicate all the tags I had for my sister to him.

"... just to ask, what can you do for Kyle?

Praise be to the knight who rescued the tragic lady trapped in the hands of his uncle's devil.

After Kyle was flustered, I panicked.

"Oh, me, Master Claude? I'm fine."

"Stay back, Kyle. She is about to stab Count Luvansch in public. I don't think you'll ever think of me as a tragic girl."

"That's what Countess Lila Luvansch did to me. It's already a dirty name anyway. Use as much as you can."

"That's a fine thing. But what does your sister say?

Lila saw Viola. But her sister, who looked like a mirror, smiled more gracefully than herself. When?

"You must be a fine sister. I'm proud of you. This child will certainly be of service to His Majesty the Emperor and his petitioners. Yes, more than I can make medicine."

"So you still want to save my sister?

"By the way, Emperor, I am aware that I am an unusual female pharmacist. Don't you think the Empress will need it in the future?

The emperor blinked. The Empress smiles bitterly.

"I see. I don't have a female pharmacist or a doctor right now."

"Would the Emperor miss one or two things if it were for the sake of his precious self, who will dwell in the future? For my deep love for Her Majesty."

"I see, it's pretty good."

The emperor stood up with his legs loosened.

"- Very well. I'm going to have to clean you up at best."

It was Walt who overreacted.

"Claude, please wait. They're still sixteen! It's not that different from kids!

"Yes, they need protection first!

"It doesn't matter. When I sold the incense, I was prepared not to go back to the straight path."

"I haven't had too much hope since I made the incense."

Walt and Kyle shut their mouths like they were swallowed by something bitter. My chest hurts on that face. I'm sorry, I'm glad.

Don't do anything bad. Why is that? Because it saddens the person who thinks of himself.

It's hard to keep your head up and out of sight.

"Thank you for your help."

"Thank you from me, Your Majesty. If my powers will help, I will."

Viola also raised her head. I was glad to be able to.

I'm sure my sister sees Lila and the other side of the scenery - they wanted someone else to help them.

"Until now, you have not received the proper asylum from adults. I never used it as an excuse."

It was a voice of an adult. Lila raised her face.

The emperor was smiling. More gentle than any adult I've ever seen.

"Good work. I won't make it worse. You are the people of this country that I should protect."

Oh, this is Walt's master on his knees.

Lila and Viola raised their heads again to the fact that they were heartbroken.
