81 – Grand Duke Aka – 81
Booo!!!
A huge trumpet sound began to be heard from outside the carriage. And at the same time, a loud noise is heard in front of the castle gate.
“The princess has arrived!”
“Open the gates!”
“All troops! Ready to review!”
Apparently, he saw the carriage led by Sleipnir on the gate.
Since it was the princess’s procession, it seemed to be dismissed as a big event.
“Wow… … ! People are splitting on both sides!”
Rosé stares out with her face completely pressed against the window.

Glancing through the other window, I could see a number of citizens bowing down toward our carriage.
Amel is also impressed by the same sight as mine.
“… … After all, it was the princess’s procession. Great.”
“That, boo, shame on you!”
After hearing Amel’s words, Priscilla dyes her face red.
Come to think of it, the other day, when Gallier said the adjectives used to refer to Priscilla, her face turned red.
… … I had an interesting thought.
“Isn’t that natural? It is the procession of Princess Priscilla, the noblest flower in the empire and the lofty golden star in the southern sky.”
“Khehehe!”
Priscilla suddenly coughs.
It was really embarrassing to see him trembling with his hands on his knees.
Is Raphael making fun of Priscilla for this taste?
It’s embarrassing, but I feel very cute when I don’t know what to do.
“That, stop—”
“Priscilla, there are a lot of people outside to see you, how about waving your hand?”
“——Yes?!”
Then, Raphael smiled and looked at me from the side.
“That’s right~ Priscilla would really like it if she waved.”
“Hey, hold on, Raphael!”
“Priscilla! It’s so cool! After all, the most noble flower in the Empire! High in the Southern Sky… … Sweet Potato Star! Miss Priscilla!”
“Even rosé?!”
Soon, Priscilla’s eyes start to spin around without a break from the attacks that continue to fly from the surroundings.
“ah… … right… … ah… … .”
“Oops, I guess I was teasing you too much.”
Raphael grabs Priscilla’s hair and gently strokes it.
Seeing that scene, Rosé laughs.
“Priscilla is shy as well.”
“That’s right. Come to think of it, Rosé, aren’t you also welcomed when you go to the village?”
Rosé is also the eldest daughter of the Delinia family. Even if it wasn’t as grand as this, it would have been enough to attract a welcome crowd.
“uh… … . If I go, just come! baby wash! It’s about bending your back while doing this.”
… … what kind of gang is this?
“Anyway, I can easily get to the imperial castle. There won’t be any guys big enough to target us in the capital of the empire.”
In fact, the carriage was pulling into the city gates while they were talking. Despite this, the constant sound of cheers.
After passing through the gate, the towering carriage stopped.
smart. knocking sound. When Raphael opened the door, a knight in full armor bowed and shouted at Raphael.
“The 2nd Battalion of Holy Heinrich Imperial Knights will serve the Princess and the guests.”
I can’t see her because she’s wearing full body armor, but from her voice, it seems to be a woman.
“Okay, can you please?”
Raphael answered with a grin, as if he was accustomed to being treated like this. Looking out the window, the knights were already surrounding our wagon.
“You receive excessive security. To be honest, I don’t need such guards.”
“It must be the face of the imperial family. If we heard that we were attacked on our way, there would be an uproar.”
Raphael sat down with a giggle and looked out the window.
Even for her, it must have been a long time since she came to the Empire.
Then I also looked at the scenery of the imperial capital–
“Wow! wow! Whoaaa!”
… … The back of Rosé’s head was blocking the window, so I couldn’t see it.
“This is the Empire! big! It’s huge! The buildings are big too!”
Rosé is so happy that she feels sorry to say that she is Vicky.
Reluctantly, I cross over to the other side and sit next to Raphael.
“what. wanted to sit next to me self?”
“… … not to talk nonsense. I just wanted to see the scenery outside.”
“okay? surely… … I like it that way, but I can’t say anything.”
Raphael grinned while looking at Rosé, whose face was completely pressed against him.
Amel was also sitting blankly looking at the window, probably for the first time in the Empire.
Instructor… … are you sleeping
“Raphael, how long will it take to the Imperial Court?”
“huh? I just passed through the gate… … At this rate, it will take an hour?”
Is it because of the welcome event?
I just decided to clear my mind.
As I stared blankly out the window like that, I arrived at the outer gate leading to the imperial family before I knew it.
The gigantic door opened with a squeak, and the figures of knights lined up on both sides caught my eye.
“Welcome Princess Priscilla, the most noble flower in the empire and the lofty golden star in the southern sky!!! light bulb wow!!! insect!!!!”
At the same time, the knights raised their swords and raised their swords towards the sky.
A path of swords surrounds our wagon.
“Wowaaa!!!”
“Awesome!”
And Rosé and Amel, whose eyes glow as they watch the scene.
The carriage carrying us slowly passed the sword road.
“Really… … . I don’t need any of this.”
Priscilla, who came to her senses at the knights’ welcome, sighed.
Still, it seems that she has developed a tolerance now, and her face did not turn red.
“How are you? It’s been a while since you came home, right? Sometimes you have to enjoy this.”
Just like that, the carriage that was going straight along the road of the sword stopped.
Knock knock sound. The instructor who was sleeping by the door opens the door as if asking when he was asleep.
“I’ll take you on foot from here.”
did it arrive
The six of us started to get off the wagon in turn.
The height of the wagon is quite high, so I make a mascot for the first people to come down.
“Come down slowly.”
“Yes, four!”
Rosé, who blushed and accepted my escort
“Thank you.”
Raphael casually holding my hand.
“It’s surprising that you have a side like this.”
Amel who silently accepts my hand
“what. I do too——Hey!”
Of course Hugo skipped.
And finally, Priscilla.
“Oh, thank you.”
Priscilla’s thin, white hand wraps around mine.
Priscilla slowly got off the carriage and looked around.
Numerous knights around us bowed their heads to greet her.
“… … We express our gratitude to the Imperial Knights for their hard work. Everyone, keep your heads up.”
The knights raised their heads at the same time in line with Priscilla’s words.
“Then, may I ask for guidance? Sir Silvera.”
Apparently, the name of the female knight who led us this far was Silvera.
“… … remember… … Are you there?”
“Isn’t that natural? You took care of me like that when I was young.”
Priscilla tilted her head slightly and smiled.
Is it because he has seen Priscilla so far? It seemed that that smile was a fake smile that was all calculated.
… … Of course, it seems that the opponent has been eaten in the best way.
“John name! I will give my life to serve the Emperor!”
Did you create your own power in that way? Priscilla.

Guided by Silvera, we entered the palace through the inner gate.
Upon entering, valuable treasures and carpets welcomed us, as if all the artworks we had seen were cheap.
“This, this is the imperial family!”
And without fail, it was Rose who was surprised again.
“By the way, Mr. Gregory, weren’t we going to be investigated? Why do the drivers keep escorting us?”
Didn’t you just hear the story?
“Didn’t I just tell you? I will serve you even to the emperor of the empire.”
“… … yes?”
… … Did you really not hear
“The Emperor of the Empire. We are going to see the Emperor.”
“Yeah?!!!”
────Yeah!
───Yeah?!
──Yeah?!
─Yes?!
yeah?!
Rosé’s booming voice resounded in the huge imperial palace.
He soon realizes his mistake and sucks! Rosé covered her mouth.
“Now, wait a minute. Are we really going to see the Emperor of the Empire? Why do you need that to investigate?!”
He seemed genuinely surprised.
“If you had come to the imperial family just for the sake of investigation, there would have been no welcoming crowds and reviews. It must have been a foreshadowing of going to meet the emperor.”
“That, was it like that?!”
“Yes, it’s been a while since my daughter returned to the Empire.”
“Ahh… … . The Emperor of the Empire was Priscilla’s father. I was only thinking about the fact that Priscilla was the princess.”
Since Priscilla is the princess, isn’t it natural that the emperor is her father?
No, the opponent was Rosé… … .
“What should I do? I think I’m going crazy because I’m nervous… … ! I haven’t smoked in a while… … !”
“Then straighten it.”
“yes? But this is the imperial family?”

Glance. I am a knight walking silently in front of us. I looked at Sylvera.
“The article there. How long until the audience room?”
“… … About five minutes.”
“My summoner is not feeling well and needs to take medicine. Would it be okay to eat while walking?”
“… … do you mean about? Yes, it will be fine.”
First of all, permission was obtained from the driver.
“I see. What do you think of Priscilla?”
“I’m fine because I know Miss Rose smokes for her body.”
Priscilla smiled and answered.
“… … Do you smoke?”
As the knight questioned Priscilla’s words, Rose quickly put the pipe in her mouth.
“Germa, Priscilla!”
And Rosé lights the fire right away and inhales a lot of smoke.
“Huuu!!”
“Wait a minute! Smoking in the Imperial Palace… … !!!”
However, it was too late to stop it.
“Puhaaa~ I think I’ll live~”
Rosé exhaled smoke with a smile on his face, and the knight who stared blankly at the sight. And Priscilla and Raphael giggling.
“Perhaps Rosé is the first person in the imperial family other than the emperor to smoke? congratulation. Rosé. It will be recorded in the history of the imperial family.”
“… … yes?”
Rosé blinks at Priscilla’s smiling words.
“Is this revenge for teasing me at the Imperial Academy and in the carriage?”
Apparently, judging from her sincere smile rather than acting, it seemed that the princess of the empire had a bad back.
… … I’ll have to be careful too.
My body just got chills.
