"Ah, looks like we're here."

As soon as Mr. Cardina said so, the carriage sway subsided and the view outside the window stopped.

Approaching the door with care not to step on the hem opens the door from the outside.

It was the captain dressed in army attire who showed up from the other side.

"Sakura, hands."

"Ah, yes..."

Lay your hands gently over the hand you are reached out to.

The captain didn't pull my hand with force, he tried to urge me all over his body to get me off the carriage.

For a moment, I wasn't sure what happened to me either.

This is the real escort......!?

Only now did the captain look like a prince, even though he was wearing a military uniform on top of his strong face.

"Can't you give my sister a hand? Brother Grace."

"... Here"

"It's nothing. Sakura's guardian today."

"You will have Esche..."

Mr. Cardina, too, gets out of the carriage with the help of the captain while complaining.

Naturally, it's much more natural than me, and I can't help but see it in my flowing legs.

I wasn't that conscious when I was in trouble with the house, but Cardina, dressed in this way, is sophisticated to every trick and makes me feel the difference in growing up.

Alongside the captain, that's just beautiful men, beautiful women, brothers and sisters, and they seem to see it in paintings.

What kind of beautiful, talented woman does Mr. Cardina want from the captain... how perfect does she have to be?

"What's wrong?

The captain spoke to me worried, spilling a sigh.

He's probably wondering if you're nervous about the party production or something.

I was thinking something completely irrelevant!

"Mr. Grace, I, you work harder..."

"I'm not sure, but you'll be hanging in there hard enough"

"Not yet, it's not enough!

"... right"

Phew, and the captain softened his expression strangely.

Seeing how it goes, Mr. Cardina, who was next door, blinks her pussy and eyes.

"You laugh a lot naturally in front of Sakura, brother."

"... were you laughing?

The captain looked ill-defined and hid his mouth with one hand.

Apparently, the person was unconscious.

It's okay, you had a very nice smile.

"Didn't you notice? I wonder if you've been sensed by the loose air in Sakura."

"Mr. Cardina, you're not complimenting that!?

"Oh, that's amazing. My brother wouldn't change his expression with Pickle no matter what, even though he said it was like ice."

Hmm? That, I guess.

I heard from the platoon leader a long time ago, a nickname somewhere that reeks of medium-two illnesses, called Ice's Fifth Division Captain.

Not that I suspected it, but how delicious to hear it again...

"I think Mr. Grace is more of a flame."

In me, the ice didn't tie well with the captain.

The captain was kind, warm.

And...... because the thoughts directed at me are so hot that they seem to burn.

"You can stand still, but Esche's tired of waiting."

"Oh, I was! Join us soon!

I hadn't decided on a meeting time or anything, so I guess I'd come early because of his personality.

The only fiancée I know is from what Mr. Cardina told me.

From childhood taming to being a fiancée, Mr. Eschet.

True, I wonder what he's like. Very interesting.

"You can keep him waiting for a while. Men are about patience, aren't they?

"... I think I've waited too long."

That word with a sigh doesn't seem to refer to the current situation.

Or almost certainly, it must be a metaphor.

Perhaps the captain, who is currently waiting for me in the progress system, knows how Mr. Esche feels extra.

I was sorry and ready to head to the front hall as the captain urged me to.

The entrance hall was already busy with many invitees.

Some people, like Mr. Cardina, seem to be promising to rendezvous with their partners here.

I was wondering if it was a better place, but surprisingly, everyone seems to be jokingly bickering.

Or will it be different again when I go to the big hall of today's party venue?

Fortunately, Mr. Esche and I were able to rendezvous immediately.

The chestnut hair in the round shape felt like a boy, and he seemed like a kind person, as I had heard.

"You, Mr. Sakura..."

As soon as I exchanged greetings, I was stared at with an eye force that didn't suit my laid eyes.

I'm not scared, but it just makes me dizzy, too.

"Um, something...?

"Oh, no, I'm sorry... it's something Cardina would enjoy telling your story about, so, um, it's not like there's anything else..."

As we speak, the end of the phrase gets smaller and smaller.

Not to mention Mr. Esche got embarrassed and shrunk.

... I see. Apparently, I was jealous of my fiancée.

"Mr. Esche's story was also wanted by Mr. Cardina. He was a very friendly kid."

"Right. We've been together ever since we were kids."

"It's nice, you know"

Smiling, Mr. Esche also smiled softly.

It's never about beauty, but alongside Mr. Cardina I get the impression of being unnecessarily unbalanced.

But that grin that tells me you really like Mr. Cardina warmed my heart.

"Oh, my God, that doesn't sound like fun."

Pointing her lips as if she were obstinate, Mr. Cardina wraps them around Mr. Esche's arm.

"Cardina?"

"No matter how rare Sakura is, I'm your partner today. Escort properly."

"Well, of course it is......!

Mr. Cardina peeked into his face, and Mr. Esche turned his face bright red and nodded again and again.

Did Mr. Cardina also bake yakimochi?

After all, when I saw how you two were doing, it seemed like there was nothing to worry about.

"Is it complicated or something as your brother?

I asked him in a hissohisso voice so that he could only hear the captain next door.

The captain was silent to think only a little, then shook his head sideways.

"No, I was relieved that we seemed close.... because my sister and brother had more limited options than me"

The captain smiles softly, watching his sister and her fiancée.

The eyes reflecting the two of them had only slightly more complex colors.

I'm not sure I'm a freshman in this world, but both Mr. Cardina, who has the right to inherit the throne, and the captain who doesn't, seem to have something like a burden to each other.

I also laughed deeply at the gentle grip of my family.

I acted differently early with the Cardinas who found my friends.

Me and the captain were walking through the front hall, waiting for the party to begin in a private room.

They already have a large crowd at the venue, and the admission of the King and his wife, Prince Wang, will signal the start.

For once, standing like a guest of honor this time, I'm going to be admitted with those two groups for some reason... really.

I heard it beforehand, but I don't know what it means to make it...?

"The dress is cute, and I'm glad you put on so much makeup, but there's one difficulty with this"

"Difficulties?"

"I can't flirt..."

The spread of the hem prevents movement, and accidental contact peels off the makeup.

I sighed as I looked down at myself perfectly polished.

"... sounds like you. I'm glad you seem surprisingly calm."

"That's not true. I'm already a buck 'n 'buck!

A few times from earlier, I was counting flower petals grown in a vase to distract me.

As much, I'm actually so nervous that my heart is about to pop out.

Still, I think it's okay if...

"But because Mr. Grace will be with you"

"... That's a killing complaint"

The captain laughed like he was in trouble.

Then he pushed my hand against his own chest pocket.

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

That was a word I could take about the captain, about the pendant, about me living in the captain's heart.

And I thought it was probably a word that contained all of that.

"Please follow me, Mr. Grace!

Turning a trusted smile, the captain nodded firmly.

That's how, finally, the time has come to get into the party.
