Fake Cinderella

11. Return

I was thrilled.

It's an unprecedented nervousness.

When I first woke up here, or when I first met the Duke... no, come to think of it, I never came over here and got nervous. Maybe he was just panicking.

Well, partly because the original personality is optimistic and doesn't care about details.

But that's just it. I'm a little nervous right now, too.

I just got back to King's Capital late last night, but I woke up before I was woken up. Because the samurai were very temperamental.

(For the first time, I see His Royal Highness Prince Wang! It's my first meeting.)

Today, I plan to address a return greeting to His Majesty the King in lieu of a morning greeting. There, His Royal Highness Prince Wang shall be present.

I don't remember anything about the previous, so for me this will be my first opportunity to face His Highness.

(I wonder what he's like...)

I was wondering. 'Cause, hypothetically, he's my husband.

The truth is that I touched the fold and sneaked in to collect the person reviews of His Royal Highness Prince Wang, but I wasn't sure.

'Cause we all say the same thing differently and uniformly.

His Royal Highness Prince Wang, who is beautiful, intelligent, excellent in martial arts and is revealed in Vera.

A genius who already participates in national politics and is perfectly talented as the next king.

Excellent eyebrows, calm settling, literary martial arts...... all the compliments come out.

It can't be! And I wanted to get into it. No one's perfect like that. You're definitely wearing a cat!

(Besides, it's strange that there are no other concubines and concubines.)

The king of Dardinia may marry four queens.

From First Queen to Fourth Queen. This is a remnant of what used to be one queen out of the Four Dukes' house.

Due to various circumstances in recent years, not many seats of the Four Majesty Queens have been filled.

Still, His Majesty the King now has two queens, two side queens and three concubines.

It is not strange that the two of you, the Queen of the Side, should become the Second Queen and the Third Queen, respectively, given the time of entering the palace and the family, but they were kept as the Queen of the Side because they had no children.

In Queens and Side Queens, the size of the palace, the number of servants, and other budgets are completely different. I asked Lilia how different it was, and she said it was doubled by simple calculations. Although, of course, it is not incalculable from the first appearance of life because of the assistance of the living.

The Crown Prince and the Prince are only allowed to be queens, but there is no problem with having a concubine. In particular, Prince Wang can be regained as the queen when he becomes king any day, or, if the family allows, as queen.

Princess Wang, I am too young for my duties as a queen... To put it bluntly, it was strange that His Royal Highness Prince Wang had no more decided women than I could live the night to give birth to heirs.

(A 27-year-old healthy adult boy!

If that's what you think, according to Lilia like a single intelligence agent, a Marquis widow, a Baroness, or the famous Virgin of the Flower Street... say the so-called luxury whore... they don't quite enjoy it with their crumbless counterparts.

His Royal Highness the King like a saint prince on the face, but I was a little relieved to find out that it wasn't something serious about being a solid on the other side.

"His Royal Highness Prince Wang has always said that the Queen is fine by herself and has refused to engage in some conversations so far."

"It's not like you're a man, is it?

When I spoke to Lilia, not surprisingly, considering that most of her warring lords had male experience, I was stunned with a tremendous amount of eyes.

"Impossible!... I hope it doesn't exist at all, but it's forbidden by the National Church!

Oh, I feel like a church is a hotbed for that.

... but I'm afraid of Lilia, so don't tell me.

"... you don't mean Lolicon, do you?

If it was Loricon, it would be the most dangerous, wouldn't it, me?

No, I can't say anything if I get my hands on anything more than being a queen.

"What does Loricon mean?

Sorry, wasn't this in our language?

"... a man who remembers the sexual desire of a young girl."

"Absolutely, no!

Lilia changed her complexion and denied it.

I just cut the sacred mark of exorcism when I hear something terrible.

"That's right...... you're playing with someone you don't have any more crumbs with. But... that doesn't mean you care about me specifically, does it?

"Yes, His Royal Highness Prince Wang did not acknowledge any more value to Her Royal Highness as the heir of Elsevelt... on a personal note"

As you can see from this conversation, during my return journey to the King's Capital, I had succeeded in making Lilia an accomplice.

You mean an accomplice... you mean an ally... it doesn't work, but you know what?

Because there's only one thing I can do on my own.

Lilia has always held me back like a shadow.

Especially after the crash, you feel responsible or you don't take your eyes off me. It's almost impossible to deceive those eyes and do something about it.

When I thought about what was to come, I thought there was nothing I could do without Lilia on my side, and I thought a lot about it, but I decided Lilia was enough to believe it, and I told her the honest circumstances.

Exactly, I couldn't just say that I remember a 33-year-old interracial, but everything else.

I don't remember anything at all before I woke up in the crash. Sometimes the knowledge you need comes up from the bottom of your memory. The only reason I didn't open my mouth was to observe the situation instead of having a voice… Originally, Lilia quickly convinced me of those facts that she was uncomfortable.

Though I was very surprised to even speak.

On top of that, I asked for help.

He said he just didn't want to keep being targeted.

He wants to look into the crash and the case of El Lucia and remind the killer.

Lilia initially showed difficulty. It's about taking care of me.

So I told him that I wasn't going to jump into danger from myself and that I didn't want to do this with this hand, but rather reveal the full story of the case and send the real killer to court.

Lilia promised to be on my side on condition that I would never be alone and that I would consult Lilia on anything.

... sounds good when it comes to feeling good, but I feel like I've lost all kinds of forgiveness for something.

"Of course he was gentle on the surface. I care about Her Highness, I have never missed a birthday gift, and I was cherished as a queen… I never took a step out of the realm of etiquette at any time."

"Yes."

Well, I guess so.

Altirier, who had rejected his surroundings so much as to be called a puppet princess...... so far, there has been no such thing as an exception. And I don't think a man who praises everyone for his brilliance would recognize a special value for such a girl. Even if it was a ordained wife.

But a well done prince didn't imitate hurting a young girl in vain... I can also say that he took due account of his position. There's something about my mother, and there's a reputation for the people.

Above all, Altirier is the one who brings him Elsevelt.

"But isn't political marriage like that?

Yes, it's a political marriage.

It's not between him and his lover, it's not like we're in love.

Not to mention twelve and twenty-seven. You won't get caught up in a drool between men and women right now.

Wouldn't it be enough if we could live compassionately with each other and defend each other's positions?

"... what?

"No... you really don't remember"

Lilia's voice as if she was half impressed.

"Why?"

I tilt my neck not knowing why Lilia mentioned that.

"... even if you say you have amnesia, you don't seem to have any particular memory on a daily basis. At any rate, Her Royal Highness did not open her mouth at all so that she did not meet the necessary minimum, and she did not tell anyone what she thought. I thought I was losing my voice, but almost everyone cared about my voice."

They say it doesn't meet the minimum required... Awesome.

But that's why it's so fresh that I'm talking like this... and that's why I can believe I don't have any memories.

Normally, girls love to chat, but Artillier said free time was mostly when they were reading or studying books.

"For many years, I had had few words with Professor Le Haye, who was the Queen's tutor, but also had exchanges of views. I've been away for years, but I think the professor was closest to Her Royal Highness."

"What happened to that professor?

"Unfortunately, Her Royal Highness caught a cold and died before you left... because you were an old man... the successor to the tutor has not yet been decided"

Lilia gives a sad look.

"I'm sorry to hear that.... Are the nannies gone?

There must have been more nannies than without my mother.

"Maraine, Her Highness's nanny, died the year I rose here... and was attacked by a thug"

"Yes... it is..."

Here again, there is a shadow of danger and misfortune around Altirier.

I don't know... maybe it's bad luck to say it in a nutshell.

"Alice is going to be Maraine's niece. Maraine's children were full of men, so Alice raised them to this palace instead."

"Heh..."

Only when Lilia and I talk like this.

It's strange to talk to Bella all of a sudden, so I usually try to act as if she's an old Altirier as possible. This is to keep the real killer out of sight.

But I mean a minimum of courtesy... I say thank you, I say hello, and I say I spill a laugh.

That's what surprises everyone. Really, I cry at myself so far.

Because when this one thing is cleared up, I'm going to self-reform! Never!

"Her Royal Highness's maid is heavily replaced... because she is often targeted, so there is danger."

"Are you going to be so targeted? You don't get out much, do you?

"Yes.... you'll be safe in the royal palace. Because the palace here has tighter security than the rear palace. But it doesn't mean I'm not going outside at all, more than I am a princess."

Princess Wang has official duties that must definitely be done.

When I was a young child, the number of exemptions has increased slightly these days.

"Is it about once a month now... every time, I have something"

Mostly prosecuted in advance by His Royal Highness Prince Wang's soldiers, but you make noise about once every three times, I laugh bitterly.

"Noisy?"

"Yes, I was surprised to see you shooting fire arrows into the queue, choking up and trying to abduct... rambling horses, trying to grab Her Royal Highness... and ever being completely faceless. I apologize for the overlapping disrespect, but I thought I used to say princess doll."

"Nothing good because I don't remember, but that's amazing too..."

In my case, I admire it the other way around.

Yeah, but... it's kidnapping or something.... not kill.

What's the difference between then and now?

"... Excuse me, Your Highness, but what can you remember?

"When I hear people's names, my background comes up all the time. But I don't remember my face very well, so it doesn't do much good."

Visual memory may be a difficult thing to evoke.

Honestly, I had Lilia explain to me how His Highness Nadir looked, but I just didn't think of it.

"Your methods and so on were fine."

"I think habitual behavior is something I won't forget. Forget it with your head, but remember it with your body, so I think you'll remember it."

"Right. … but, Your Highness, don't ever go wrong with the order of greetings."

Basically, greetings open your mouth first from the lower ones.

And it's basically from the top that we talk after the greeting.

After the greeting, he said it was against courtesy for him to open his mouth first.

Well, it's not that strict either, but it becomes important in situations where etiquette is needed.

(Is it because of that the Duke only greeted him at the castle of Elsevelt...)

I reflected a little on what I had misunderstood.

I tell Lilia to open her mouth from herself whenever she needs it.

It's a hassle, but that's what a class society is, and you can't let me break it near the top.

Only His Majesty the King, Her Royal Highness the First Queen and His Royal Highness the Prince are above me in this country.

The sons of the First Queen, His Royal Highness the Second Queen, and His Royal Highness the Second Queen, besides His Royal Highness the Crown Princess, have a lower status than I, the Crown Princess. Not to mention the concubine or the concubine.

"I'll be careful"

I nod with a serious face.

Lilia gazed a little, then laughed. Lilia looks year-to-year when she laughs. Usually, he looks five or six years older than his real age.

"What?"

"No, I was happy."

"... me?

"Yes.... if saying this is disrespectful...... If I don't remember being your highness now, I don't care if I don't remember it forever."

I was glad you thought so.

Because that means I'm fine now.

It's suspicious if all of my memories will return...... but if I do, I can't go back to being a puppet princess anymore and I'm not going back.

"The confusion in Her Highness's memory is somewhat of a rumor in the palace, so I don't think it will be much of a problem in the future where we have acted somewhat strangely."

"Thank you, Lilia"

Wow, Lilia. Too hand-turned.

With Lilia on my side, my freedom expanded remarkably. And the amount of information obtained also turned out to be different digits. I didn't think that was it.

So much so that it seems ridiculous that I had so many troubles by the time I decided to bring Lilia on my side.

... There are many things I don't know.

The truth is I'm still afraid to believe in all of Lilia.

When it comes to female officers, Lilia feels like she knows too much.

(But...)

I decided to believe it.

So the only thing left to do is my determination, my feelings.

"... it's time to come"

"Already, time?

I woke up so early.

"Yes. Slightly earlier is better than later"

"Right."
