Her Royal Highness Seems to be Angry

"I'll get in the way."

Before Leticiel, who raised his gaze from the book, Sarazir sat there with Ston as he pulled the chair.

Currently, the Lucrezia School timetable is between the first and second hours. In other words, it is in the middle of a break.

Leticiel, who has only been in the basic library in the morning, doesn't know much about the rest time if it is conventional.

Once you get into the world of reading, you always lose track of time until your lunch break begins.

But since the other day's festival, Surrazir began to visit every time during the morning off to see what kind of mood this was again.

Thanks to you, I'm always interrupted reading at a delicate time, but don't tell me that.

"What did you do today?

"Let me take a look, what you're reading. Never mind."

"Ha..."

That's what bothers me... Leticiel gazed back at the book, while still observing Chira and the Empress.

When I ask her why she visits Leticiel, I always get this answer. It seemed to me that during the festival I was convinced that 'Saint Leticiel' was not the same person as Leticiel, but do I still doubt it somewhere in my heart?

Or does Surrazir have yet another purpose for himself? The intention cannot be read from the eyes and expressions of Sarazir, who looks at the book piled on the desk with his cheek cane.

"I'm going back, it's time"

Before I could finish reading a page yet, Sirlazir stood up completely. It's probably only been a few minutes or so since she sat down.

"Are you going back to lecture?

"Yeah, that was helpful."

Saying so, Sirlazir walked away from the scene with refreshment. David came to Leticiel, who dropped that back off as a little pocan.

"Foffo, you're very enthusiastic."

"Right. We visit here every day."

Instead of every day, at every break, the Empress had almost indispensably taken to the Great Library Room, even though with only 10 minutes of rest, there was little she could do to get here.

"Mr. David, is Master Surrazir also using this library?

"Yeah. They're always here with their squire for about an hour after school."

"Was it..."

That was the first story I ever heard. Listen to the story. Leticiel looks back at Surrazir's behavior over the past few days.

Was it possible that she was always observing the books Leticiel reads in an attempt to be a reference for the books she reads?

"But the genre to be read is quite fragmented. Strongly speaking, I often read music-related books."

"Really?"

…………

………

……

…

"……………"

Things changed and while eating the dining room of the Lucrezia School, the pudding of dessert, Leticiel told his friends about what had happened in the big library.

By the way, Hilmes had just stepped out of the dining room after a meal.

"Heh, but I heard His Highness Sarazir's hobby was violin. I'm also interested in music from the foreign kingdom."

"Oh, you have such a hobby?

"That's right! Besides, this is a pretty good arm."

Sieg, Mirandaletto, and Veronica watched over Leticiel, who was honestly impressed.

Why is that? For there is also a third prince, Edelhardt, seated at the same table as them, for some reason.

"But Master Eddie, do you really not have to go to a seat for royalty?

"It's okay, it's okay! I don't really like anything that brings a sense of royalty to the forefront."

"I don't think Eddie has a problem with royalty either."

"Because I am a common prince!

Indeed, around sitting at the same table as Sieg, who is not a nobleman, and Mirandalette, the Baron and the Viscount family, with nothing to eat, this prince feels largely commonplace.

Of course, Leticiel and Veronica can't talk about people.

There are special seats available for royalty once in the dining room. Its space on one side is at the corner of a glassy dining room, spacious and eye-catching.

Right now, in that seat, Lionel is having lunch. Opposite it you can also see the back of Surrazir, I don't know the look on his face but he doesn't seem as enjoyable.

"Your Highness Lionel, you often see a scene with Master Sarazir."

"Well... I hear you were with me when I studied in the Empire, and do you guide me about Her Royal Highness?"

"Surely you might have that. It seems that culture is quite different in empires and kingdoms…"

That's what Sieg said to Leticiel's crush and gave it back to me. It was the knowledge I read in the book alone that made me a little anxious to affirm that the end of the last phrase became slightly creepy.

"I just thought for a long time, you two don't look very close, do you?"

Lionel often goes to speak up because he doesn't look familiar, but Sirlazir's response to it doesn't sound good.

"Well, given the current state of the empire, I don't even know how His Highness Sarazir handles it. But I don't."

Biting at the tip of the gazigazi and fork, unexpectedly, Edelhardt said that more than once.

……

"Is that it? Dorothy doesn't know what's going on in the empire?

"I know, but that has something to do with Dear Sir Razir's response...?

What Leticiel knows is that the prefects of the provinces are beginning to gain strength on behalf of the emperor, whose strength has been weakening in recent years, and the rest is about the example 'St. Leticiel', which he heard from the princess herself at the festival?

"The emperor now... His Majesty Jaffrida does not have a son other than His Highness Sarazir. So inside the Empire, we're in the middle of rubbing around the throne of the Crown Princess's spouse. His Royal Highness himself seems to have pushed all of his contacts back and then refused to see anyone but a few trusted escorts and servants."

Although there is no law that the Ealis Empire should not allow women to inherit the throne, there is still no suspicion in the country because there has never been a precedent in its long history, believing that the spouses of Surrazir will inherit the throne.

The situation has changed because the first prince, Rocheford, is currently being stripped of his right to inherit the throne, but at one time the fringe discourse between Sirlazir and Lionel was lifted as part of the strengthening of alliance relations.

Eventually the story circulated as a pending case, but officials in the kingdom who appreciate Lionel's excellence, as well as some in the empire, said they still want two marriages and Lionel's succession to the throne.

But the fact that the royal family of allies will be emperors of their own country is roughly the same thing that the country will be taken over. I guess Surrazir fears it and doesn't try to draw a line with Lionel to allow anything other than the minimal amount of socialization he needs.

"Besides, I think that's a pattern of systems that I'm interested in simply being a rare type of person, rather than being aware of His Highness as a heterosexual person."

"A rare type, is it...?

"Yes! Look, brother, you're going up there and you're going to be a messy hottie, right? So on the contrary, it seems unusual to be dealt with like His Highness. He said he was right!

Everything seems to have been handled by Sarazir even when the two of them first met in the Empire, and that Sarazir's behavior has rather attracted Lionel's interest.

"Speaking of which, Master Hilmes, you seem a lot busy these days"

Once the conversation broke off there, silence flowed to the table for a while. I don't usually get interrupted in the face of Leticiels, but he's thinking about what to talk about in front of the Third Prince.

In this silence, I'm lonely or restless, so Leticiel mouthed the topic that came to mind for now.

"Oh, if you're a leaf, you're being driven out to prepare for the Empress's welcome ball, which you withheld the day after tomorrow. Because he's powerful."

"Oh, did you?"

As for Leticiel, who doesn't know anything about the schedule of events in the school from day to day, the information was the first.

But if you say so, it's like more and more faculty and students have been bumming after school lately, like there isn't...

"Bubble meeting... do we fight?

"Oh, no, it's not militancy over there..."

"Dorothy, when did you get so belligerent..."

"I'm not going to be belligerent."

Something happened, because I had sword fights with Sarazir, and two letters, Pa and 'militant', came to mind.

In this day and age, "Dance" is more familiar than "Martial Arts," so that's not strange to be perceived that way, Leticiel reflected internally.

She never noticed Edelhardt staring at the side of it.

The day quickly passed and the day came when the welcome ball of Surrazir would be held.

The welcome feast itself has a larger and more luxurious party hosted by the royal family, but this is only something that pupils and teachers and their relatives attend, limited within the Lucrezia School.

An unfamiliar carriage...... Lucas reached out softly, waiting in front of the main building, to Leticiel as he stepped out of the carriage with the crest of the Duke of Oracio's house.

"Thank you"

Take that hand, Leticiel goes down to the ground. Leticiel, adoptive daughter of the Duke of Oracio family on the family registry, was greeted today by the Oracio family carriage arranged by Lucas and was here.

Honestly, I don't like night clubs or anything. Leticiel didn't plan on attending, but my current status is as the daughter of school director Lucas. Because of Lucas' attendance, he rarely begged Lucas himself to turn him down because he wanted him to show his face because of anything for the time being.

"You're not exactly in uniform today."

Leticiel, walking in a Lucas escort, wore a blue purple dress. Blue rose brooches are worn on the chest, and jewels scattered throughout the dress are reminiscent of stars floating in the night sky.

The hairstyle is also loosely braided by Nicole with a temper, decorated with flower decorations and something... heavy head anyway.

"What does the dean think of me?"

"He's trying to push through all the events in his uniform unless there's more to it"

"... you're not wrong"

"You're not mistaken."

The ballroom is the dining room. Entering the entrance hall, the two walk down the gorgeously decorated hallway with such futile talk.

Upon entering the venue, the first ones to jump in are the rest warrants dressed in colorful dresses and courtesies, brilliant conditioning in luxurious chandeliers......

(... That's crazy. You should always be watching it in the dining room)

The sight in front of Leticiel, who had never had a face at all for these nightclub-like nightclubs, was too nowhere to be seen.

"I'm gonna go greet him or something, but what are you gonna do?

"Don't worry, I'm enjoying it appropriately"

"Right. Then call me when you leave. I'll take you to the mansion."

"Thank you"

As Lucas leaves, Leticiel also proceeds to walk inside the venue. I don't have nightclub experience from my previous life, so I get all sorts of unusual and sticky.

"... ah! Dear Drossel!"

As I was sewing between people and walking blah blah, Mirandalette, who was sitting alongside her fiancée on the couch near the window, stood up pah.

Always looking all in uniform, Mirandalette wore a young leafy dress with a rustic impression with ribbons and laces. Chestnut hair is half-upped and shawled in the same color as the dress.

"Good evening, Master Mira. It's been a while since you've seen Hilmes."

"Yes, it's been a while! I haven't had a meeting lately to help you prepare for remedial classes, so..."

"Is it just the two of you?

"Master Veronica will be a little late. Master Sieg was with me until just now, but the teachers just called me to help."

"I see."

The warrant ladies walking by the side sometimes look over at me like they see it twice.

I'll drop my gaze and check my appearance just in case you're dressed as something strange, but I don't see any particular weird spots.

"Mira, is there something wrong with this outfit?

"Huh? That's not weird at all, is it? Rather, Drossel-sama's dress, like a starry sky, is mysterious!

"Yes...? I'm not the one who picked this dress."

It is, of course, Nicole who considered all the cords, from Leticiel's hair today, from dresses to ornaments.

I told you about the ball two days ago, a thousand chances to get your lady dressed all she wants! and was impatient and motivated. I need to thank you when I get home later.

"But Master Drossel seems to look good in any dress"

"That's what I'm talking about! Somehow, a master doesn't seem to be beautiful or dressed and sumptuous, and I fall in love with him..."

So Hilmes began to groan her fiancée's mood, clapping her mouth haphazardly, like, Shit.

"... ah. Le, lulu, that doesn't mean anything weird!

"I don't care, because it's true that Master Drossel is beautiful. That dress...... looks really very good on you!

"I knew Lulu would think so too!?

"Yeah, yeah!

Turning his back on Leticiel, Mirandalette and Hilmes somehow entered a secrecy. Sometimes I happily look at this one as a flicker.

……

Leticiel, who seemed amused but could not hear the conversation because of the loud noise in the venue, just slapped his neck.

"I think Mira looks great in that dress."

"Oh, really? I was a little unsure because I didn't have time to make it in a hurry..."

"No, he said he was very cute... Dear Mira, are you making your own dress?

"Yes! My house doesn't have enough room for money to make new dresses, so I'm remaking old dresses."

"Heh... that's amazing..."

Then we talk to the Mirandaletts, indulge in the drinks and dishes offered at the party, and while we do so, the ball also welcomes us to a good place and the performance by the orchestra begins to echo the venue.

Leticiel snuck out of the venue next to the courtiers and warrants who were at the venue starting to dance with each other.

As for Leticiel, who is not that good at crowds, there was something quite mentally coming about staying in that venue for a long time. If it was in a pile of books, I could bury it as much as I wanted.

Go outside and turn straight to the back of the main building. Behind the main building is a huge lake, and a full moon in the sky illuminates the water in silver.

……

I thought this would be the quietest place and no one would come, but unexpectedly, there were ancestors by the lake.

Sitting on a bench installed on the shore, Surrazir, who was reading through with a book in his hand, notices the visitor and raises his face.

"I'm sorry to bother you. What's Master Sarazir doing here?

"Look. Don't you get it? I'm reading a book."

The book in his hand shook hilarily, and Sarazir said so. I didn't see much of the title, but it seemed like it said something about the poem.

"What book is that?

"A collection of poems, written by a bard a few years ago."

"I see. I heard Master Sirlazir is a good violin, but you will also chant poetry"

"Oh, you knew. I thought you were someone who didn't care about that."

"Dear Eddie... I was only asking His Highness Edelhardt a few questions"

In fact, it's true that Leticiel doesn't care that much about the Empress's hobby. Leticiel was impressed when it was said that he usually just sat across the street and didn't have a conversational conversation, but this one looked at people a lot.

"Is it okay that the main character of the banquet isn't in the venue?

"I'm telling you, to the dean. Besides, the necessary socialization is largely over. I wonder if you're going back to the venue."

"I don't like places with a lot of people like that."

"Yes. Then you're with me."

"Do you hate socializing?

"... well, I don't like it"

Sarrazir looked reluctantly as he added. Perhaps' socializing 'for her is a rush with the imperial governors after the Empire. Most of all, it's the same in every country.

"But there are technologies, thoughts, and cultures in this country that the Empire does not bring together. Even magic is so developed. We need to know more about this country for the sake of its development."

"... Master Surrazir is very important to you about the Empire."

"Of course, right? I am responsible for the protection and enrichment of the First Empress of the Ealis Empire."

In short words, I feel thoughts about my country from the verses. I kind of felt intimate looking at myself in my previous life.

(If she succeeded to the empire, she would surely lead the empire better...)

I didn't speak to my voice, I was a reticel thinking about that inside.

"Well... it's time for me to go back to the venue, but what about you?

"I thought I'd stay here a little longer."

"Really? Okay."

Standing up with a collection of poems, Sarazir vanished towards the venue.

Leticiel, who was alone, blurred as he stood by the lake looking at the scenery and the starry sky.

How long have you done that? He hears a small sound stepping on the grass from behind him, and Leticiel turns around.

"Evening."

Edelhardt, who came out of the shadow of the main building, said so and waved gently.

"Good evening, Master Eddie. What can I do for you?

"Yeah, because I saw you leave the venue. Until now, I was with His Highness Sarazir, so I couldn't get out."

Stasta and I walk over here, and Edelhardt stands next to Leticiel. But I'm not cutting out any conversation, I'm just staring up at the moon in the sky.

Leticiel is also followed to wave the moon. In the meantime, there is no conversation between us, only the wind blows through softly. I wonder what this prince has come to do.

"... By the way, do you like the full moon?

"Yes?"

After the silence, all of a sudden Edelhardt has heard such a thing. Unexpectedly, Leticiel also gets a strange look on his face.

"At least I don't hate it..."

"Really? So what about my sister?

"Huh?"

"What about my sister?

…………

I didn't anticipate that question. Leticiel clogged the words. Leticiel doesn't know anything about Adelhardt's sister princess.

"... you don't know"

To the unanswerable Leticiel, Edelhardt said that with no expression. 'I don't know', not 'I don't remember'. Leticiel did realize that his expression was frightening.

"I've been watching you. Your words and deeds, your thoughts... I haven't seen you again in two years and you weren't the one in my memory"

To Adelhardt, who suddenly began to speak alone, Leticiel couldn't say anything and just kept listening in silence. I have a bad feeling.

I felt like I knew what he had come all the way after Leticiel for and what he was trying to say.

"The battle in the former Duke's territory was brilliant. Such a battle-accustomed move, I doubt in this day and age we can even Lucas"

……

"I also looked into your powers. None of the literature left a statement about it. A power that has never appeared in the world, at least since this nation was founded."

Edelhardt turns this way. Oh, Leticiel knows these eyes. He used to look at this one with the same eyes at his entrance ceremony.

"Who are you really?
