Seijo no Hazu ga, Douyara Nottoraremashita

Well... well, now that I'm used to living here, I'm not as dissatisfied as you are.

An environment where you can take a bath every day, wear fine clothes, and have a fine meal and tea.

If you think about it, this is the safe and peaceful life I dreamed of.

No, no, no.

Is this peace? At least it's not safe...?

Yeah, I tried, but I couldn't fool myself enough.

This is different.

I don't know when they're going to assassinate me, but they're going to kill me if I show them the gap.

Talking about the opposite of peace, what is it?

Thinking so, this man who is relaxing and gracefully enjoying the finest tea and exclusive chef's handmade luxury tea confectionery in front of me is in a sense thick.

"What? What's wrong?

With that said, today I have a superb smile and a sparkling husband that has never worked for me before or for a millimeter.

Yes, the habit of tea together every day was still alive. Actually, is this guy a bad guy?

While I think, I'm still glad that you're making time for me every day while I'm busy, and I'm always spending time with love.

"Ah... no... I thought you'd survived to that age..."

"... ahh. Until my skills were proven, my brothers didn't pay attention to me. Five, anyway? But, well, isn't royalty like that?

"Yeah, it's a mess, royal. Besides, is it a skill? Skills are the problem, right? Does everything in this world depend on skills?

"Huh? Isn't that what it is? Is it different where you were? What happened suddenly... oh, maybe you were afraid of the poison knife last time? Don't worry, I'm reviewing the security structure of this castle to make sure it doesn't happen again."

Smile.

What?

"No, you would have died if I had arrived a little later..."

Even if I hadn't died, I might not have been able to hold on to tea candy like this right now.

It's more about you than me... if this person is paralyzed by a sense of crisis.

"That's right. But thank goodness, that's fine. Thanks to you. [M] Besides, you were the majestic Virgin of my dreams at that time. Oh, I'm so glad. Unexpectedly in front of my men... oh, yeah, that's right, it looks like a new one from the chef's anise series, so eat it."

As I began to talk with pleasure, it seemed that I had unexpectedly become a cold gaze.

No, I just remembered that this man, the "Magnificent Virgin who Protects Himself", was living and spitting in the carriage to the Farglow.

That's right, this guy was a bit of a weird hobby...

If I hadn't known the truth of this happy smile and that beautiful smile, I wouldn't have thought of it now and then, but this person is still a bit sad...

I mean, it's kind of majestic. Aren't you happy?

And I think I'm honestly eating the recommended confectionery.

I'm sorry you didn't eat it even though it seems you made it for me, and whatever our chef makes is delicious. The chef, of course, is Lector's scout, so there's no doubt about it.

Incidentally, the anise series is the name of a herb whose name was originally planted in the Lost Church in Lost Village, but recently the chef here has been using that herb called anise to make sweets.

Everything says, "The best candy for the Virgin! Something like that...

Thinking about it, I've been spoiled a lot lately.

I thought such a luxurious life was for a limited time.

Maybe it's time for me to be ready.

Be prepared to serve as Lecter's first aid team for the rest of your life.

A husband who is young, tough, too beautiful, yet too gentle, and like the ideal of a woman with status and wealth.

It's a complete waste for me, which means I'm the best "unfit" husband.

But now that I realize that my safety depends on this Lector, it seems reasonable in a sense to marry as the "protector of the Virgin" of the country.

If we meet as royalty, we can't kidnap or kill them so easily. For most people, though. And some of them seem to be okay with that.

Still, I had to admit that it was the easiest way to "I" survive.

Then it would have been fortunate if I had been able to marry this man just in form.

With this very preferred person, who seems happy to be with you.

With this person who seems to me to be as important as or more important to me.

I still have no idea why this person likes me for being so plain and unclassified.

I find it strange that my title of "Virgin" doesn't seem enticing either.

But no, that's why one day he may get tired of this plain formal "wife".

And perhaps the day will come when he will love another more elegant and beautiful woman worthy of him.

But since he is a kind man, he will certainly not abandon the Virgin's wife.

Even if there is no love as love there, will there continue to be such a peaceful relationship that protects and supports each other?

Recently, I was beginning to wonder if I would ever forget him, even if I divorced him.

No matter who I met, I always felt that I missed him more than this Lecter.

All right, then.

As long as I am only a "wife", even if one day his mind moves from me to someone else, at least I can be near this person.

Don't say luxury.

It would still be happier to be able to stare at him closer than to admire him from a distance beyond the reach of a divorce. And I can always admire him as my wife.

It's also a pleasure to be able to protect and save your beloved directly with your own hands.

Well then, let's do our best. As much as possible.

If you have the opportunity, try your best by actively showcasing his glittering "majestic Virgin".

If you still have trouble, you can think about it then.

Yes, anyway, I'll just jump to the best I can do right now.

I don't care anymore.

"Today's anise series is also delicious."

Enjoy the happiness before you now. Ah, for a moment...

Fortunately, this surprisingly expensive teacup has also become a little familiar lately, so even if it's not elegant, it doesn't make me nervous, so I can calmly hold it and mouth it without hesitation.

Now I have my favorite tea, and I can afford to enjoy its scent and flavour.

The chef's delicious dishes and sweets completely fattened my tongue.

I seem to be adapting to this life sometime.

Shouldn't I be living in this castle forever?

Good, that's it. What a wonderful idea...!

Hmm, I was seriously worried and made up my mind.

From now on, until spring, I'll try my best to work with particular vigour, even though I thought so.

And why am I leaving this castle now?

No, I know.

"Anyway, I'll say no. Anis can stay here."

That's what Lecter says.

"Well, I know how you feel, but... there's also a position for you."

The priest looked in trouble and said.

"But does Austin know that? This could be a trap. Rather, you should think of it as a trap."

Lecter wrinkled his eyebrows and said to the priest.

"That may be so. But that's why you can't refuse. It would be like selling fights when a prince turns down a formal request from his father or king. If you become the enemy of the king, I'll run away because I'm afraid. Are you coming with Anis?

"I'm not going to Anis. Please don't leave me like that."

"Hey, it's up to me to decide what to do. Nevertheless, my current job is the general's first aid, but that's no secret....."

I sighed too.

Until now, the castle had been used as a base of war against Oliglow and moved relatively freely by Lector's mining and distribution, even though it was far from the King's Capital. However, this time, in the middle of winter, it was brought into trouble by the royal palace.
