Her Royal Highness Seems to be Angry

Three days after Cloud came to the Mansion, the Lucrezia School has already entered its summer vacation.

Leticiel was sitting on his own couch that day looking out the window. At the end of her gaze, there is the appearance of Cloud and Luvik discussing something in the garden.

"It's still hot today..."

Next to her, Nicole was complaining about the bumpy weather.

"It's summer. I don't have a choice."

"... isn't the lady hot?

"That's a little hot. But it's ventilated better, and, well, I guess it's okay."

That's what Leticiel says. Leticiel looks into the open window. A refreshing breeze is blowing in from the outside, shaking the silver hair of the curtains and the Leticiel.

"Shall we make some cold tea?

"Oh, let me ask you a favor..."

"Okay! Then I'll have it for you!

Nicole leaves the room with a patty smile with Nico.

And when the door to the room closed, Leticiel turned his attention to his study desk. There, an old journal was kept that Nicole had found the other day.

The wind blowing in from the outside is turning the pages of the diary with paralysis. I was going to read it right away, but there has been a lot going on in the last few days and I have been having a hard time reading it. Leticiel got up off the couch and headed to his desk.

It's a cute diary with a small floral picture on the cover. It's small in size and not that thick. I looked through the contents sarcastically as well, but make sure you don't have a lot of sentences a day, it says right up to the last page.

In the right corner of the cover of the diary it was written "Drossel" in small, faint letters. The date of the diary was 10 years old, and there was a neat letter there that didn't seem to belong to a 6-year-old, spelled out daily events. Leticiel begins to read it silently.

"○ month × day

She came to see me today. They say it's an intent. If you say that, I can't do anything. What am I supposed to do?

"○ month × day

It's the first time I've done a shiver! It's the first time, so it didn't work, but if you're going to be full, it's almost time to get beautiful flowers soaked. '

"○ month × day

There you go again. Good afternoon. Don't you want to fuck with me? Then we have to work harder. '

"○ month × day

They have a pageant. But I couldn't let you out. Everyone seemed to be hanging out with Krista. I wanted to come back with you. "

The diary spelled out the frank feelings and hopes of the toddler, including feelings and doubts about his parents and siblings, and the joy of being able to do something new.

From the way the text is written and the contents, it seems to me that Drossel was a dear child with little emotional ups and downs these days.

But Drossel's reputation at the time Leticiel woke up was a poor character warrant that often caused eclampsia without magic.

'... no! Stop!'

Suddenly, the girl's voice rang in my head. Such a voice that speaks from the inside, not from the ear.

……

Leticiel dropped the day book he had in his hand in surprise. The diary falls to the floor and opens without a trace.

The next moment a tickling pain ran through his temples, and the sight of him not knowing his brain ran around.

Leticiel was in a familiar room. Only minimal furniture was placed in the room where I once lived, elegant but somewhere killing landscape.

But now, the room in my eyes is littered with trinkets, tools, cloths and paper everywhere. At the center of the messy room, a silver-haired girl grabbing a leaning dress, and three adults standing around such a girl.

They looked at the girl with stunned and fearful eyes, as if they were even monsters. Three people are saying something to each other. But the voice did not reach Leticiel.

"... what, to? ……

The sight interrupted when I saw that far. Leticiel groaned, softly putting his hand on his forehead. There was a snug sweat on that forehead.

I miss somewhere the sights and voices earlier seemed to objectively look at the landscape on stage. Is it part of my memory when I was Drossel? I couldn't remember any more details. Maybe what this girl thought about when this happened and how this happened.

Something mocking was going around my brain. Leticiel exhales as if he were dull and puts his gaze to the fallen day book.

"... hmm?

Leticiel reached down to pick up the journal book, but noticed a single envelope pinched in the open page.

Seeing it pinched so important in such an old journal, it seems like something quite important. Leticiel returned the diary to his desk as it had been and retrieved the contents of the envelope.

"To Dorothy.

I was so excited yesterday! Let's get together again!

From Alec '

Inside the envelope was a small note, where concise words were spelled in a young handwriting.

(... What's this?

Leticiel twists his neck to the name written at the end of the letter.

I'll flip the letter somehow, but the back was just blank. Dorothy is probably Drossel's nickname, but I wonder what this kid was to Drossel. Where is who in the first place?

Concon.

I was thinking about this and the door in the room was knocked. I can't seem to recall any more now that I think about it. Leticiel decided to cut out his thoughts once.

"Go ahead."

"Ma'am, I brought you some tea"

The door opened and Nicole came in with a basin with a tea set on it. Behind it is also the figure of Luvik and Cloud.

"Oh, what's wrong with you both?

Leticiel gave a strange look to the appearance of the two people who had been in the garden until earlier.

"I just met Nicole in the hallway, and she came with me."

That's what I said and Luvik smiled happily with a full smile.

"Sounds kind of fun. Can I help you?

"Yes, there's something I'd like to ask your daughter."

It was the cloud that returned the answer to Leticiel's question. No heart or cloud eyes sparkling.

So Leticiel somehow guessed about what he wanted to hear.

"Uh... you mean the garden?

"Yes! I'm trying to set up a garden, but I need your daughter's opinion. Because of this, I have a good vestibule, and I'll sift your arms!

I very much appreciate Cloud's motivation to love garden teasing so much, but Leticiel was worried about his injury.

Soon after Cloud came to this mansion, Leticiel healed his back wound with sorcery. Sorcery can be treated to some extent if it is a physical trauma, unless it is fatal, but it cannot be cured for sequelae, etc.

"... Are you hurt? Wouldn't it work if it still moved that much?

"The lady healed me a lot, didn't she? Besides, it's not a good idea not to move because you're injured."

"That's true, though."

"I'm fine. So don't worry."

Cloud put his hands on his hips and let Don and his chest stretch. If anything happened, I decided on my mind to follow up, and Leticiel smiled small.

"What garden does the lady prefer?

That being said, Leticiel thought a little, moving to the window and looking down at the garden from the window.

This garden is dominated by flower beds and lawns. Planting flowers in flower beds is a good idea, but it's just a waste of time to admire them, so let's get a selection of herbs and grass for research and everyday use.

In addition, a large tree stands in the corner of the garden. Looking at the tree, Leticiel somehow remembers the previous life.

Leticiel and Nao always met under a large tree in the courtyard of the royal palace, and the festival of the kingdom's victory celebrations was always held at the foot of a giant tree standing in the heart of the king's capital. My father and mother in my previous life also watched Leticiel at a young day climbing trees with constant harrassment.

It may not be a bad idea to recreate the familiar previous life scenery here. Leticiel turns his attention to the cloud.

"... right. Okay, so I'm gonna paint, and you're gonna make it exactly the way it is?

"Okay! Leave it to me!

"Thank you, but don't push me,"

Leticiel grins at the motivating cloud.

It made me think of Drossel's memories earlier, but now I feel like I can't tell myself how strange I am to miss my memories as Leticiel, and I smile bitterly.

Between the sights of Viatrice Castle, Oswald sat on the throne. Next to him stands the Chancellor Sirius, and on the front is the Second Prince Lionel.

I saw him once as soon as I got home, but at that time I couldn't hear the details. I was too busy on business day after day to get enough time together.

Well done, Lionel. You're back.

Oswald nods to Eagle Yang at the return of his son, who was studying in the Empire. It was two and a half years before Lionel went to study in the Ealis Empire. If it was true, I had planned to have him study abroad for another six months, but I had no choice about an emergency.

"You went to the Duke of Philialeggis' house."

"Yes, I went to say hello"

"Right. What's going on with the Duke's house?

"I mean, I'm on my way to comfort about Miss Christa's condition. The Duke and his wife seemed completely depressed."

"I guess so"

"And I also met Miss Drossel."

To that one word Oswald moves his eyebrows piquely. The matter of Drossel was expounded upon in explaining the disturbance of the First Prince and in a parent letter addressed to Lionel.

"What did you think? Meet Miss Drossel."

"Right...... I thought you were strange, unusual. I wasn't exceptionally close to Miss Drossel, so what makes you think this..."

"Damn, that's not an odd thing to do, Noon thinks so."

Oswald spills a small laugh at Lionel's opinion. What Lionel said was the same as what Oswald had in mind as it was.

"By the way, are you okay about where you're going to study?

"Yes, it's all done"

Despite the fact that this was a sudden recall order, Lionel has received reports that he was in no hurry and calmly hit the post facto process and response. To his still brilliant son, Oswald took a small breath.

"How was the empire?

"Until about a month ago there were frequent skirmishes between the Governors in the West, but they are now calm. Institutional reforms also seem to be under way at the upper levels, but we do not know if this situation will last forever. As Father knows, the power of each local consul has grown in recent years in this country."

"Hmm..."

Oswald thought for a while into Lionel's words. Just as disturbing events have frequented within the Kingdom of Platinum in recent years, so has the Ealis Empire. Has there been a breakdown in the peaceful situation that lasts for many years?

This time Lionel's study abroad was also intended to gather information, but he should apparently not be alarmed because he is an ally.

"Anyway, you had a long journey. I'll see you in the paperwork for the report later."

"Okay, Father."

"And Cordelica waited for the Lord to return with her neck long. You should go see him."

"Yeah, let me do that"

You can back off now.

"Yes, then excuse me"

Be polite and Lionel exits from the sight. Even after Lionel left, Oswald did not move the spot for a while, but eventually spoke to Sirius, who stood beside him.

"Hey, Sirius. Where's the other one?"

"That's... The Third Prince hasn't seen you yet today. There have already been reports that we have entered the Wang Capital..."

Oswald sighed small to Sirius, who was trying to say so.

"Right...... Well, he's got things to do, too. As soon as I get back, I'll let you know."

"Ha."

Oswald rises from the throne, flips his cape and leaves the room. I don't have time to rest. Because there are so many things to do.
