The Queen's Cosmetician

It has been decided to send an envoy from Doppelgum and Del Ligeigeigeia to Clan Haive under the patronage of the Church of Our Lady. The church designated the city of Luglova in Clan Haive, home to Reina Luglova, who named her the next Saintess.

The area around the die that became the envoy was in a hurry. Currently, the three-month office assigned to the die is bustling with people preparing for their journey while flipping through the records of their last trip.

"Tinka, leave the dinner clothes there." I have to check my height..... "

"Hey, what about the ornaments?"

"Um, this time, you're not going to dress as a woman, right? If so, take this and this off....."

"Five and seven... yeah. It's okay, you can take it with you.”

Well, then, I'll take four pairs of brushes.

Yes, please.

"Die"

Die, who was checking things with the ladies, looked back at the call from behind. The voice of the Lord is one of the female officers, Reno. She said with a gaze at the doorway.

"Knight Commander Tedius is here." I wanted to talk to you about something.... "

"Asse? Excuse me, can I open the reception room and have a cup of tea?"

Got it.

Die lets Reno get the room ready, quickly sends out instructions to the other officers, and picks up Asses at the entrance of the room. Asses, along with his First Officer Knight, was talking about something with Randy, who stood guard.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting..." Do you want to talk to Randy and the others? Do we all go inside? "

"Ah, let me do that."... but is there any problem with the die? That's why you're pushing it suddenly. "

I looked over the die at the room filled with the murmuring voices of the women, and asked with a slight pull from the assortment.

It's okay, and the die opens the door further and invites them in.

"Please, come in."

"I'll wait here."

The Lieutenant of Assay offers the door number. Die confirms Assy and Randy's entry, closes the door, and passes among the ladies to enter the reception room. Suggest a couch to both of them and sit across from them. Reno prepared a tea for the group and stepped back.

I switched to Reno, and the clerk entered and waited behind the die. She, Alletta, is a civil servant who has been named since Die returned from Perfilia. Since the number of negotiations other than cosmetics has increased even more than before, I am an assistant to the die that was increased.

Having a cup of tea, Die took a breath and cut out the story.

So, what are you talking about? Is it about the people on the trip?

"That's true, but first it's about watching the castle." I decided to strengthen it. "

The day that the die brought back the load from Detrout, it was talking to the Assyrians. In the end, Juno was moved from there to the Imperial Castle, but discussions continued on whether to strengthen the castle's patrols.

Asses continues to explain.

"I washed the movements of the members of the envoy's entourage the other day, but there are many suspicious points that are of concern. I don't know what's going to happen in the future, but I think I should be vigilant.”

"I see... so?"

"Ah... the Die pointed out that the deterioration of the atmosphere in the castle is not good." I don't want our enemies to be alert. So, I'd like to ask Die to mediate in order to coordinate with the powerful people under the castle..... "

“Okay, I'll write you a referral today.”

The die asks you to look back at Alletta and make a note of her schedule. As she moved her writing instruments, she asked how many she needed.

Offer the documents that Asses had in her possession.

"Seven cases in total." Here's a list... can I ask you something? "

"... I think the last chamber should go through the Oswald Chamber of Commerce."

Die quickly handed the documents he had read to Alletta and told Assisi.

"I'll write to Bruno, so please go through there."...... Alletta, the letter is in eight parts "

Got it.

"Asse, can you send someone over tomorrow morning?" I'll leave it to you. "

"Alright...? Will you be here tomorrow morning?"

"Yes, but I may be a little late for work. Someone will be here and I will send them to you.”

"Alright....."

Next, let's take a trip.

The journey to Clan Have, where we are at war with Perfilia, is more dangerous than ever. There seemed to be a fairly careful discussion about how much strength to take as an escort and who to make of the die's bodyguard. If Assy came to talk to you, the selection of the person must be over.

Give the rest of the paperwork that Asses brought to the die.

"I talked to Randy a while ago..." Yubayr decided to incorporate them into his entourage. "

"Yuvale? Why...?"

Yubert is a knight who has been working with Randy as a die bodyguard since ancient times. Like Randy, when Mariage was chased from the throne, she was treated dangerously in the Royal Castle and helped Mariage in the shadows. The other day, he finally named his fiancée and the scriptures. I wonder if I could pull the newlyweds off, but Die was asking for his remnants.

"His hope."

Randy answered Die's question.

"Actually, the guy in the die, that guy, can't do it." I can't spread it too much. It's better if there's a lot of people who know. It's the enemy's place to go. "

"Well, that's right..."

The overreaction of the die to the opposite sex cannot be said to have improved. Even from those as close as Assy and Randy, when they are touched suddenly, their consciousness is far removed. I feel particularly restless when standing in a blind spot. This is the background of a new woman in the ranks of the civil servants and knights nearby, including Alletta.

"... I heard from my brother that this was a desire from the die."

Assaults tend to hesitate and ask questions.

"... why did you volunteer for such a dangerous situation?"

“I thought I was the right person.”

Die answered as he picked up the tea utensils.

In the first place, it was the die that inspired our envoy to Clan Have.

When a conversation with Doppelgänger about destroying the magic device came up, Die thought about how to infiltrate first.

Indeed, if the Continental Conference expresses its support for the will of the Church of Our Lady, the other party's vigilance will be somewhat relaxed. I mean, you can't invite someone who doesn't know if it's an enemy or an ally into the land where the ritual that produces the Holy Maiden takes place.

In order to jump into that space, we need something that will make Reina welcome us.

"Regardless of how you make noise, as long as we hold down Juno, the descent of the Saintess you want won't come true." I know that technique, because Ineka-san can't talk about anything. However, it is difficult in many ways to continue to hold Juno here as well. Then you can come out from here. When it comes to taking Juno with you, we can't help but welcome him. "

In addition, Juno's security worries disappeared in Del Rigeira.

Even if you can't get to the magic device, you'll be able to get close to it.

"I know that."

Asses moaned with a bitter face.

"But why you?" In the first place, I don't even know if the Luglova River has that device..... "

"Die."

Randy asked in a quiet voice.

"Do you want to die?"

The die looked back at them suddenly.

Return the denial to both of them, who seemed serious.

"No, I'm not going to die, and I'm not willing to die." Oh, did you misunderstand Yuvail? Not to take you to the dead. Simply, I just thought it would be a bad idea to pull the newlyweds apart. "

Die remembered Titianna. Married shortly after Mariage's reign, she simply said she didn't want to leave her husband.

"Tonight's guard duty, Yubert, right?" I'll apologize to him later if I take too much of my time.... and I don't think of Clan Have as a place to die. I'm going as an envoy. All you have to do is to bless the new saint and return. Of course, there will be dangers. But I intend to return with all of my entourage. "

Then why?

“Again, I thought I was the right person.”

Die moistened his throat with black tea and placed the tea cup on the receptacle.

"I am Mariage Mizwieri Del Ligeigeigeigeigeia, a dedicated cosmetician. Basically, I don't put makeup on anyone in public without His Majesty's permission. And I am the [seal of the kingdom].... am I not the most appropriate person to become a saint in the future? My makeup is a sign of celebration from Mariage-sama. Above all - I am confident that Reina Luglova will be more beautiful than any of her maidservants.”

The arrival of the Holy Maiden is in itself a political demonstration.

The Church of Our Lady will decorate it as a newly-born church of Our Lady.

At the very least, I thought it would be welcome as technical guidance.

― ― Reina liked the makeup of the die. I don't think she was lying when Die put on her makeup.

"Then, I'm talking about the location of the magic device..." There seems to be a church sorcerer in the city of Luglova, so there is no doubt about it. It was also recognized that the representatives of the radicals are moving to Luglois. ”

The information received from Detraut is very useful in checking the flow of these people.

In the unlikely event that something goes wrong, you can follow in Juno's footsteps as he moves.

"... the movement of Mr. Juno?"

"According to Saez, Ineka-san is required to activate the magic device." And Alvy says that Ineka and Juno's [Lace Magic] is very powerful... Without Juno alive and able to talk, Ineka can't use her magic. Therefore, Juno must be taken to the magic device in a safe condition.... I'll buy you time to properly locate, step in, and destroy the device....... In order to do that, you have to go to a person like me who can't do anything but makeup. "

Sheila, Reina's sidekick, would not underestimate the die. The Die's demon has a record of putting her and the crew of her ship to sleep.

But that's fine. The die caught Reina's attention. We may be able to use their strength.

At the same time, the Church of Our Lady, which does not know the die, is despised. I can make a gap.

With that in mind, I offered to hold a meeting with Doppelgänger.

Asses

Assy scratches himself against the call of the die.

Die smiled at him.

"To break this situation, I have decided to use this value to the full. This time, the envoy volunteered for one of them. But after all, I'm just a makeup artist, so I can't do anything more.... are you worried about keeping your knights alive with me?"

A fragile craftsman without the means to defend himself. It's even worse in nature because it's about fear of the opposite sex.

I also know that Asses is in my heart. I also know that you're trying to protect me from the die. I can understand the desire to pursue someone else.

Assy shook her head gently to the side.

"No... I'm sorry." I asked for extra things.... I want you to leave it to us. I will protect you. I have selected personnel who can protect you. "

Thank you very much.

"Actually, I wanted to come with you."

“Don't let the defense of the country down. Please protect His Majesty."

"I will."

Tension escapes Asses and Randy.

Die told him as he stared at them as they picked up the tea utensils.

"I'm going home as soon as I can."

Because if you go home, Mariage's wedding is waiting for you.

That was right after the Continental Conference.

"... I wonder if the foundation of the country is not stable."

Mariage moans as she puts the center of gravity on the back of the chair and looks up at the ceiling.

While receiving tea from the lady, Dai instantly looked at her husband.

Is there anything you're worried about?

”Nh... after all, I thought that if there was a weak spot, it would be attached to me”

Especially in this era, the connection with domestic leaders is important. Mariage has a past where she was kicked off the throne, neglecting her relationship with the nobility. Die's master seems to think of the way in which the continental conference, which had to avoid clashes with the Church of Our Lady, was settled so as not to undermine the national power of each country.

It's important that Mariage doesn't neglect the nobility right now.

Rodimus told Mariage as he roughly poured sugar into the tea.

"Especially the advanced and intermediate..." Do you want to increase the number of interviews? If you were a candidate for the Queen, wouldn't you be a distraction? "

Mariage reckons in silence as she enters her body.

All the former Queen candidates, except for Melia, are heads of their own families. They were closer to each other than they were to the time of the Queen's election. Friendly, or a bad friend who pokes the weak spot of the opponent.

"I'm not going to do that."

Rodimus' suggestion was rejected by Mariage.

“It's going to be tough to see people more often this time of year.”

Well, I guess so.

Instead, Rodimus.

What?

"You, be my husband."

A tea utensil fell out of the Prime Minister's hand.

Black tea hangs from a table on a top-of-the-line carpet to create a waterfall.

But nobody could move.

Only Mariage frowned openly.

What, you don't want it?

"No, no, it's not like that."

I'm so sorry.

M-Master Mariage, that's not true.

The die finally returned to me and pursued it instead of Rodimus, who was unwilling to succeed.

"What are you talking about all of a sudden!?"

"Well, that's why we're talking about strengthening the foundation..." Yes. How many more of my husbands will you choose? One from a strong faction, other than Dorje and Tedius. And then one of the neutrals, a little behind the shield..... "

As she folded her fingers, Mariage continued to speak lightly.

After a long time, she looked around at everyone who was not blocked by her stunned open mouth, and shrugged her shoulders with a dazed look.

Isn't it common to talk about political marriage?

― ― Die

Die blinked at her husband's call.

Mariage, who was supposed to be walking ahead, stopped at some point and looked confused.

"What are you blurry about?" I'm going to kick your ass. "

"I won't do it." I'm sorry... I was thinking about Mariage-sama's marriage. "

"Ahh... that's it"

Mariage turns her back and resumes her steps. Each time, the blue petals were kicked.

Night. I haven't had time in a long time. Which one of you invited me to go for a walk? The Knights Guard are walking a little behind. It's been a long time since I've taken these kinds of walks.

They are coming to the hill at the back of the castle. The blue flower is spreading, that.

Mariage sits appropriately around it.

She slapped next to him, and the die sat down in line.

"I wonder if that was such a surprise." Because it's not a stone. Political Marriage between Aristocrats "

"In the case of Mariage, it's too sudden..."

Thanks to this, Rodimus, who was nominated as the first husband, has been useless for some time.

But Mariage is right. Even without a wedding ceremony right now, simply announcing the engagement will strengthen the relationship. If we announce that we will take three husbands, the nobles will avoid hostile moves against Mariage for the time being. On the King's Way, it was subtle.

Is that okay?

Die asked Mariage.

"Choose your husband like that..."

“Why not?”

Mariage looked strange. There was nothing in her eyes that would make the die she asked bark.

Mariage poked her cheek stick into her raised knee and looked down at the city of the Night King.

"I don't just like women like you who like someone like that like a fool."

"That might be true, but... that's a terrible gesture." I can't deny it.

Mariage laughed as the die pointed her mouth.

"Hey, Die."

Yes, Mariage-sama.

"... when Alice abandoned her family, I thought that she was scared of love and love. I can't hold it. Because I chose it myself, and I reached the throne again."

Mariage was able to escape the throne.

As a dead body, I was able to escape to a distant land with D'Adan.

But she didn't do it.

"That's what Luuna said. It's hard to change lives. I fell asleep when I was lurking. I have no courage to abandon the present. There is no strength enough to choose to live freely."

But, "she said.

"I became a queen." There was someone who wanted me to be. That's why I think you have the power to protect human freedom. And I must have this power. "

Mariage stands up and pays attention to the earth and grass on her clothes.

And she narrowed her eyes in love, as she looked upon the houses of the city of kings at night, where the lights shone like the stars.

For I have decided that there shall be no change in the house that is in the land. That's why... I'm just choosing the support for that. "

And the master, who smiled vigorously, was breathtakingly beautiful.

The die also stood up and wiped the grass around her waist.

He spoke as he continued after the walking mariage.

Daddy, you left the border, didn't you?

Daddy went to Perfilia again. To tell the Detrouts how they're moving behind the Continental Conference.

"I may be stomping on you unexpectedly."

I want you to come home safely.

"You'll be back, won't you? There's a house here."

Mariage said, letting her hair run in the wind at night.

"You're coming home, too."

Absolutely.

The die narrows its eyes to the pleasant wind.

"When you should be the happiest, you can't start without me, can you?" I'm your makeup artist. "
