3 reality and ideal (3)
Lecia belatedly remembered that voice and mask.
I’ve definitely encountered them in battles with the Great King and the Demon God.
Although he hadn’t gone to battle at the time, he was clearly aware that he was a strong human being.
“You are the king… Ah, that I married Your Majesty… man? husband? wealth… wealth… … .”
“It’s a vice.”
“Yes, sir.”
“therefore… You intend to keep pointing your sword at His Majesty’s consort?”
“You shouldn’t have sneaked in… Yo?”
Lesia responds firmly and shows a consistent attitude.
If he had had a legitimate reason and purpose, he would have visited the mansion formally.
However, it was only after the sun went down that he arbitrarily crossed the barrier, so he had no choice but to be suspicious.
“I think I just said it. I have no choice but to come like this because I am a night guest.”
“uh… What did he say at a time like this… Oh, yes. I am faithfully carrying out my duty as the exclusive knight commander of the Reggieard family… will you? What?”
Lecia frowns while using a half-hearted respect.
In the meantime, I learned a lot from Enrite, but it wasn’t easy to change the way I speak depending on the person.
It would be comfortable to use the same tone all the time, but as he repeated his thoughts, he was unknowingly getting tangled up.
“Puha! Unlike white, it has a cute corner.”

Kaden was amused, but not careless.
It seemed to be stronger than before, and the eyes were alive.
If they faced swords, they would endure it, but they could not be sure of victory.
‘… Black is popular.’
There was no one who did not know the achievements made by the black knight.
Of course, his companion helped, and the King and the Setinos quasars did not just sit still.
However, because he led the situation while remaining at the center, his merit and military power were recognized.
‘That’s why white must be here too.’
The White Apostle, Enrite Selena, left the Kinesien Holy Church about two years ago.
He revealed the reason why he was unnecessary because he had destroyed the 3 demon kings and 4 disasters.
He went into hiding for a while and periodically reported to the king, eventually entrusting himself to the mansion where the black knight and his companion lived.
‘I was going to quit Cetinos Quasar too… Miss Brandis barely stopped.’
At that time, Enrique gave up the position of cardinal and entered the palace immediately.
He then confronted Brandis and raised a mantra asking him to relinquish his responsibilities as the Setinos Quasar.
Brandis, a little taken aback, tried to persuade Enritte, who reluctantly bowed and quietly withdrew.
‘I wonder if he was trying to organize things first.’
Enrithe had already expressed her intention to live in this mansion to Brandis.
Brandis finally realized Enrite’s intentions, and didn’t say anything.
He tried to lay down his status and honor in order not to be embroiled in controversy himself.
‘The white might get involved… … .’
“Lesia, withdraw your sword.”
A woman wearing an overcoat appeared with soldiers.

Kaden waved lightly and said hello.
“Doesn’t it seem like it’s been a while?”
“… Meet His Majesty’s consort.”
Enrite showed an example and answered calmly.
Then the soldiers around looked at each other and awkwardly lowered their heads.
“It’s a vice… I want you to call me what I always call you.”
“You cannot be rude to your husband.”
“It doesn’t feel good to hear respect from friends. Do you think so too?”
“uh… … .”
Lecia couldn’t bear to speak and only looked at the two in turn.

Kaden smiled and approached Enrite.
“As for what my brother did… … .”
“You did what you were supposed to do. I don’t want to punish you for this. I don’t have the ability to do that.”
“… … .”
Enritte showed a faint smile and quickly erased it.

Kaden didn’t change much from before.
He just married the one he loved and earned the title of concubine.
“Looks like you’re living well.”
“Thank you for your words.”
“It’s not a pretense. Your expression has become much lighter.”
From noblemtl.com
Kaden was convinced as soon as he saw Enrite’s face.
Unlike before, there was a sense of composure, and it seemed that I had been soaked in rest.
Perhaps staying in this mansion had eased the sense of responsibility and pressure.
“Aren’t nobles annoying? I wouldn’t leave such a beautiful woman alone.”
“… I have no meeting with nobles.”
“Oh, yes. I won’t go out unless it’s necessary. I forgot for a second.”
From noblemtl.com
Kaden showed a relaxed demeanor and slowly turned his head.
The people he wanted to meet were running hastily.
“Meet His Majesty’s consort.”
“Black, long time no see. Has your wife been well?”
“Ah yes… … .”
Hannette gently lowered her head in doubt.
Wouldn’t Shion or Enrite have come all the way here because they have an issue?
He probably made a habit of secretly visiting at night, but after being discovered by Lesia, he reluctantly revealed his true identity.
“All the people I want to meet have gathered. Can you give me a minute?”
“Yes, I will serve the car.”
“I didn’t intend to drink tea… Did you get a little twisted?”
From noblemtl.com
Kaden looks around and shows a shy expression.
Shion, Hanette, Enrite, Lesia, even knights and soldiers.
Contrary to what I thought, I wondered if I had gathered a lot of people.
‘I did talk to Miss Brandis, but… Is this okay?’
* * *
The residence of the Reggiard family, the drawing room.
It was midnight, but not that deep.
Shion and Hanette were just about to lie down in bed, and Enrite was unable to sleep.
In fact, Lesia was the first to fall asleep, but Caden entered the courtyard and moved quickly.
“… Are you wondering why I came here?”
Caden quietly drank tea and opened his mouth.
Right now, only Shion, Hanette, Enrithe, and Kaden were gathered here.
Lecia left first just because she was sleepy.
“You always come to me this way, so I won’t say anything wrong. Did your husband’s visit have to be carried out secretly?”
Enrite asked quickly, not even looking at the teacup.
The fact that the king’s wife was a silver phantom thief was widely known throughout the kingdom of Alain.
However, there was no choice but to be concerned because various speculations and rumors were created just by secretly visiting in the middle of the night.
“I was going to do that. By the way… I think this is better.”
“It may raise suspicion.”
“Even before the wedding with His Majesty, I went around like this. Everyone knows, even bureaucrats and nobles. Wouldn’t that look even more suspicious if you walked in through the front door in broad daylight?”
“… … .”
It sounded surprisingly plausible, so even Enrite had no choice but to keep her mouth shut.
In the first place, just meeting Kaden or Shion stimulates curiosity.
In that case, it would have been better to act normally.
“Let’s just talk about it… black.”
“Yes.”
“Are you in trouble because of the 3 princesses?”
“… … .”
Zion does not express himself and swallows silence.
The king’s consort was discussing the issue of succession to the throne.
What answer should I give here?
“Is it difficult to say? Because I am the King’s consort?”
“… Yes, you might be looking at us as enemies.”
At Shion’s answer, Hanette and Enrite were shocked at the same time.
He openly brought up the word enemy in front of Kaden.
It was a very dangerous statement, and it could have been taken negatively from Kaden’s point of view.
“hot! It’s too direct.”
“His Majesty will be watching over us. Depending on what choices you make, you may become enemies. Am I wrong?”
“It sounds a bit sad, but… I can’t see it being wrong.”
From noblemtl.com
Kaden fully understood Shion’s position.
His older brother was the husband of the 3rd princess, and his wife was a member of the Duke of Adelaira.
Unintentionally caught in the middle, so I had no choice but to be wary of myself as the king’s consort.
“ruler. Let’s think again. You and your wife are dedicated to serving this country. Your Majesty has not forgotten that part. Although they rewarded them that much, it doesn’t mean that the achievements the two of them made will disappear.”
“… Do you mean that Your Majesty will not throw us out?”
“right. I will never throw you out unless you rebel.”
“Aren’t you worried about that?”
“You have to look a little wider. They don’t want power concentrated in the Duke of Adelaira. Shouldn’t we look at it separately from the accident that happened then?”
“I can’t see it separately. Aren’t you trying to be careful because it has something to do with the accident?”
Shion had no intention of yielding a single word.
Of course, since Kaden was the king’s wife, he should not mention anything that would cause controversy.
However, since I couldn’t blindly listen to the other person’s demands, I had to refute them.
“black. Now I’m telling you, I’m not here to fight you. I didn’t even receive a separate order from His Majesty.”
“Your Majesty must know that your husband has come here.”
“I always tell you where to go. Fortunately… You didn’t say anything.”
“… … .”
Shion couldn’t even believe those words.
Rather, it could be that Brandis secretly gave an order to Caden to find out what he was thinking.
Maybe Brandis will even know what he said he could see as an enemy.
However, I did not regret it because I committed it with some degree of consideration.
“I’ve said this, but you don’t understand?”
“Do you want to say that you came here on your own, regardless of His Majesty?”
“Your Majesty didn’t tell me not to go. What does this mean?”
“Can you see it positively?”
“black… you said His Majesty will not throw you out.”
“Can you still say that after I am executed?”
“black!”
Enrite instinctively raised her voice and restrained it.
Shion reluctantly shuts his mouth and turns his head.
“Boss, I apologize instead… … .”
“It is not something to apologize for. If I had been black, I would have thought about that at least once.”
From noblemtl.com
Kaden wasn’t angry when he heard that.
I knew very well what Zion was worried about.
Even a small misunderstanding can cause you to lose what you have worked so hard for.
If Hanette were to become entangled, she couldn’t even predict how Shion would react.
“… I’ll say it one more time. I didn’t come with a king’s order. I didn’t come as the king’s consort. I came here as a Cettinos quasar and colleague. I will not tell you about the conversation we had here. Why? Because it is a private conversation between me and my colleagues.”
Caden confesses honestly and is immersed in his worries.
Shion, the black knight, distrusted the king.
If you are driven into an extreme situation, you will have no choice but to lose to the king.
Only by stepping in now could he put an end to this situation.
“Black, I want to suggest a way out of this situation for you… Would you like to listen?”
