Fake Cinderella

In the dark, lurk your breath.

There were no signs of people around.

(Something strange...)

On the surface, though, it may be the first time I have woken up as' me 'to be alone in this way. Since the crash at Elsevelt's castle, everyone has been so afraid to leave me alone.

(Sometimes...)

I can't tell for myself whether that's because I broke my promise to His Royal Highness the King, or whether it's from another hunch.

Looking at the blurry sky...... seeing the two moons hanging in the hollow doesn't make me particularly concerned anymore. It was a shock at first though.

(I guess that means I'm used to it...)

To live in this world...... and to be an altilier.

The exhaling breath was white.

It's pretty cold this season, albeit indoors, at night, and I rewind the muffler.

Fingertips are warm thanks to thin skinned gloves. indoors, but also wore a coat and was completely defensive.

Under the coat is Julia's attire… it's easier to move, and I borrowed it to make it convenient when it was.

Julia's attire was a little big for me, but she easily fastens it with yarn and packs the size. I just fastened it a few places, but I hardly feel incapable.

(Julia, you're clever...)

In this country, sewing is one of the most valued skills.

Especially embroidery, one of the upbringing of aristocratic children, to the point where they say that the better the embroidery arm, the better the good fortune.

Everything is in the world of handicrafts, so all dresses are decorated by hand. The basics of decoration are embroidery, and then stitching malls, laces and gems.

As much as some samurai specialize in sewing and serve with their sewing skills, it can be said that the samurai's arms are directly linked to the fashion of her mistress.

In my case, it was Julia and Alice in charge of it.

Nevertheless, I was always at your disposal because I wasn't so interested in those aspects, and until now, I haven't had much experience with their technology. Tonight, I can say that I reaffirmed that unexpectedly.

(Maybe next time you can make a lot of them)

If they made a simple dress that was easier to move around and less decorative, it would surely be more convenient.

Good afternoon, and the glass is smashed small.

My body trembled.

Even as I prepare my mind, I'm still surprised.

The terrace wear-out window opened quietly.

"... are you there?

The voice that pushed him to death is under Zion. As we met, we snuck out of the palace once and back again.

Because this is a private outing, you're gonna need a lot of disguise.

"Right here."

I had few words.

He looks down at me, sitting on my knees with my back against the wall of the window. I stood up with a patterned and coated hem.

"... unusual, you're dressed"

Seeing me, I thought about it a little bit, and Xiong Xiao said so, choosing words.

"Really? Your Highness gave me this coat."

I pinch the hem of my coat and look around. I don't think there's anything wrong with that...

Well, if you insist, this grey hooded coat is the simplest I have.

It was given to me by His Royal Highness after that outing, and it was specially tailored to my size. Lightweight but with a little water, it peels off, prevents wind, and has a full back pocket for convenience. Considering this one without chemical fibers, it's so functional!

"Brother..."

Theon fell on his shoulder disappointingly.

"Is something wrong?

"… it goes without saying that the coat is male, but the design is military."

It is an item employed for the servants of the Knights, and is not worn by the likes of Her Royal Highness, he snaps into a sigh mix.

"I don't mind. Because the usual fluffy coat doesn't allow you to move around easily."

Looks like a dark-eyed, gray-looking kid. I think it's pretty cute.

The colors are not very noticeable because they are colors, and I like the simplicity.

It doesn't matter if the design is military. Anyway, because under my coat, I'm as dressed as a samurai.

"I would like your gift to Her Highness to be made more romantic..."

(Romantic to Your Highness!!

I couldn't help but notice it was about to blow out.

I'm dreaming, Theon.

"Go ahead."

"Thanks"

Lay your hands gently over the hand offered.

That's the former prince, very good escort.

(That?)

Until just now, the garden should have had enough people to be as bright as daylight, and now there's no one else. Did you even pay for it?

I thought I'd have to go sooner.

"What's wrong?

"... because there are no knights or escorts"

"Oh... right now, I'm doing an interim report on the investigation, behind you"

"I see."

Perfect timing to get out, that's why.

Escorted underneath, even in the darkness, I walk without any continence at all.

This may be the first time I've seen anything like it.

(His Royal Highness... because he barely lets me walk...)

I only went out once with His Highness, but there are several walks in the garden and stuff... but I kinda doubt I could call that a walk. 'Cause I'm hardly anything walking on the ground.

Your Highness thinks of me as a tremendously small child, and I feel like I'm always held up when I realize it.

(Well, that should be easier to talk to)

... I would have naturally spilled a laugh if I had remembered that.

"What's up?

I'm sure you found me laughing under Scion.

"No...... I was just remembering"

I don't care who you're talking about, but I'll be right with you.

"So much about my brother? Are you worried about your brother?

"... no. It's not really like that."

Because prayer for victory is just an excuse. That said, the pittance stopped and the underfoot stopped.

Relax, I'm about to run into you.

"So... why were you there?

Flat voice.

I get that impression, like I'm forcing myself to hold back the heat from the words.

"... because I wanted to have a private conversation with Hiroshita"

"With me?

"Yes."

I sneered and laughed.

"What did you want to talk to me about?

Strong voice.

It's not 'me', it's a one-person name 'me'. Maybe he doesn't even realize what he's saying.

"About Lilia."

I felt like I heard a breathtaking sound.

(It's easy to understand......)

A lot of plotting behind a smile may be what this brother has in common... glancing at His Highness Al... but under Theon is very easy to understand as far as Lilia is concerned.

(I'm sure that's all that matters)

That fact was the most important thing to me right now.

And that's why I followed you.
