143 The fire is revived
***[Heroine Oscar]***
Prince Emile is uncharacteristically easy-going.
It may be that the situation he is in is difficult, but it is probably because he has spent a lot of time wandering around the border and spending time with soldiers.
And wise.
He makes good use of his situation.
He hid his shabbiness with the image of being a member of the royal family who wandered the borders and fought alongside soldiers.
At first, it was said that he was overly dressed in fancy clothes.
But little by little, I changed my appearance naturally by reducing it.
Even if you wear simple clothes or wear the same clothes several times, it doesn’t matter much because the image of royalty assimilated into soldiers is strong now.
At banquets, she dresses splendidly, but because of Prince Robert, she rarely appears at such events.
I didn’t need any clothes like that.
The money paid by the royal family is left over.
Emil was trying to make sure that most of the money saved by doing so went back to the second queen.
That’s why the second queen can keep face despite not having a sponsor.
1 Although the queen lives as if she is dead so as not to be noticed, Prince Emile has the ability to properly grasp the situation and lead to his own advantage.
Under normal circumstances, you rarely meet with me, but when an opportunity arises, Emil doesn’t miss it.
Any trivial occasion created a meeting with me using that as an excuse.
Although he seems to accept whatever comes his way, Emil is not a docile or accommodating character.
This person has a surprisingly persistent and rebellious temperament.
He will be a person who will try to live without giving up under any circumstances.
‘If this person becomes king, he’ll do really well.’
As we talked about rumors from the palace, things about Igor, and things that didn’t stand out too much, I smiled.
Emile was drawn to me, responding to my story, but he couldn’t hide his curiosity.
I don’t know why I came here, so I feel restless.
But Emil and I weren’t the only ones in the tent.
There was also an escort to protect the two of them.
I glanced at Emil’s escort.
We have already received reports that he seems to be trying to kill Emil.
Speaking here, it was obvious that this would happen to the first queen.
The story of changing the prince I support will soon spread to everyone, but not yet.
You will have to keep it hidden until you get Prince Emil’s consent and safely surround it.
If the first queen found out about this, she would go mad.
I twisted my body a little while talking a little bit of a normal story.
Placed in a small, old tent was a small chair without a back.
It’s kind of uncomfortable.
However, in normal times, there is no such thing as an attitude.
To be honest, as a former earthling, I didn’t feel uncomfortable sitting like that for a while.
It may have been uncomfortable for aristocrats born and raised in this world, but it was fine for me.
Still, it was on purpose to show an uncomfortable expression.
This is a signal to get to the point.
Prince Emile seems to have realized that too.
Watching Prince Emile nervous, I opened my mouth.
“Why don’t you get some fresh air, Prince Emile?”
When I suggested, Emil swallowed and nodded.
“I’m sure. I’m right after sweating too, so I think it’d be nice to take a walk to cool down.”
As we left the tent, of course the escorts followed.
The Prince’s escort stands behind him.
My escort moved some distance away, but the Prince’s escort did not back down.
When Prince Emile ordered him to step back a bit, the escort looked at him with a bewildered face.
“No, prince. This is a forest with witches. Danger…”
I interjected without listening to the escort’s words.
“It’s all right with my escort and soldiers. Back off.”
“…”
The escort looked at Prince Emile in bewilderment, but Emil only nodded slightly to follow my words.
Even though the prince is a member of the royal family, that’s all, and I, who has a title, is superior.
On top of that, if even Emil agreed with me, as an escort I had no choice but to back down.
The prince’s escort bit his lip and stepped back a little.
As Prince Emile and I walked, the distance from the escort grew even further.
If my escort deliberately slows down, the prince’s escort has no choice but to keep pace.
After a certain distance, I walked slowly and opened my mouth while keeping my gaze away.
“During that time, Prince Robert has been treating me very badly. Maybe that’s why. I’ve fallen out of love with Prince Robert.”
“…”
The sound of swallowing could be heard from right next to him, but Prince Emile also kept his gaze far away.
To someone else, it might look like you’re talking about the color of a distant sky or a tree.
Also, this person is good at grasping the atmosphere.
Besides, it seems that I quickly realized the meaning of my words.
“What do you think?”
When I asked, Emil looked at the distant sky for a moment, moistened his lips with his tongue, and answered.
“I think it’s normal. He’s been so rude all along.”
Prince Emile said softly with a hard face.
“If it were me… I would never have done that… I kept thinking.”
“is it so.”
I smiled.
negotiations are concluded
“I will put a few more people around you. I will gradually increase the number of people in the future. Currently, there are too few people around the prince. In addition to escort, I need someone to consult with me and take care of my surroundings. We need to increase the number of people we can trust.”
“Yes, yes.”
“I’m also looking for a few people. In the meantime, escort and assistance will be taken by the person next to me. If anything happens, please consult with him.”
“thank you.”
Prince Emile answered in a sharp voice and swallowed again.
I can hear suppressed joy in his voice.
I took a step back and met his gaze.
He lowers his head slightly and smiles.
“I’ll wait for the next time we meet. Then I’m done.”
When I turned around, Prince Emile spoke a little later.
“Duke of Weiss!”
“…”
Turning around, Prince Emile opened his mouth with his eyes shining.
“thank you.”
“…”
I left the place without saying anything, just lowering my head slightly.
In the meantime, some of the soldiers I brought with me joined the soldiers here as an escort for the prince.
As I mounted my horse, the captain of the escort came right nearby.
“We brought in a few more people. There were people who were brought in because we thought this might happen from the beginning.”
“Thank you. But you managed to get someone like that. I thought the ones I sent before would suffice until we get here.”
The captain of the escort shrugged as he rode his horse.
“If you follow the Duke around, you will develop a habit of preparing in advance.”
“hahahaha. Thanks to you, I feel comfortable.”
The captain of the escort was smiling.
I feel like his hair has thinned out lately, maybe it’s because of this.
‘Then I’m really sorry. There’s no medicine for hair loss.’
I felt a little sorry because I think his thinning beforehand was because of me.
Me and the soldiers all set off, but Pooh, who would otherwise be the first to lead, stood still and did not move.
‘also….’
I stopped talking, looked back, and spoke to Pooh, who seemed dissatisfied.
“It’s okay. Go, pooh. Go to your colleague.”
Katrin might cry a little.
But the beast will be happy to live with the beast.
It is the providence of nature to meet a mate, give birth, form a herd, and live like that.
Pooh cried out loud as if he understood my words.
“Puuu!”
The tail wags as if to make a buzzing sound.
Pooh swayed and turned to face the forest, then cried again loudly.
I don’t even know if he called to see his colleagues or where they were.
A similar cry came from the forest in the distance.
Maybe he wasn’t answering Poo’s words.
Still, from the depths of the forest, a loud cry could be heard from time to time.
So, it could have been simply howling among the monsters in the forest.
But for some reason, it sounded like a conversation between Pooh and the Witchbeast in the distance.
‘Am I leaving after all?’
I said that, but on the other hand, I think I was thinking that this child would always stay by my side.
My heart felt a little sad when Pwoo didn’t move from this spot.
‘I can’t think like that.’
You shouldn’t see everything with human sentiment.
You have to think about it from the child’s point of view.
For that child, the city where people live may be a suffocating place.
Above all, you will be lonely because you have no companions.
Suddenly, Pooh turned halfway around to look at me.
I smiled and nodded at Pooh.
“Come on, Pooh.”
When I see this child leave, I may cry a little.
I took and raised a baby that seemed to die.
No, the ones who actually raised them were the servants of the mansion.
Still, I saved my busy time by giving my mana every day.
I tried hard not to give it to her, but the very thought of it may be evidence that I have already become attached to her.
My eyes were a little hazy.
I cleared my throat to hide it, but Pooh turned around again.
I could see the big ass, and this time the tail swung vigorously from side to side.
It was a little different from waving with joy, and it looked like it was right before a fight.
And boo woo woo, weep loudly.
And I stomped my feet a little.
The ground is pitted.
‘Am I really going now?’
When I thought so, Pooh waddled around and ran towards me.
I feel happy for some reason.
I thought I was going to say my last goodbye, but Ppou continued to head to the front of the procession.
“…”
Weren’t you leaving
Maybe I was making a stupid face.
The captain of the escort was laughing as he pressed his hand over his mouth.
Laughter spread among the soldiers around them.
someone talked to me
“Hey… Duchess, it seems to me, I think he just boasted about his voice.”
“That’s how I see it. Sometimes he has a tendency to show off.”
“I’ve seen a bird catch bugs before, and I’ve seen him split a tree beside him with his mouth like a bug.”
“I saw that too. Then I threw a piece of wood like I was bragging to a bird.”
“That’s right. That’s why the bird died.”
Ha ha ha, laughter arose.
“…”
After hearing people’s stories, I think it was somehow like that.
Because every time I heard a cry in the forest, Pooh cried in a louder voice.
‘Haa, really.’
I let out a small sigh and looked at Pooh’s big ass.
“…”
How should I save one as a female rhino beast?
***[Natalie, Countess Becker]***
A letter came from Duke Weiss.
2 It was about asking if he could visit the queen once.
I have already heard from my husband that he has decided to change the prince he supports.
Well, she is the biggest contributor to making her husband make that decision.
Up until now, Natalie had been constantly blowing Prince Robert’s flaws and bad points into her husband’s ears.
No matter how strong and firm a person is, if the surroundings continue to whisper, they will be tempted by it.
At least get used to it.
Natalie smiled and placed the duke’s letter in the box.
‘I guess he wants me to become an aide to the queen.’
2 The Queen is a modest person.
Even though I have been at the court for a long time, I still do.
If no one cares, she will easily fall into a trap.
Up until now, Prince Emile had been taking care of her in many ways, but when rumors spread that the duke had turned away from Robert, the first queen’s arrows were directed at her.
Then, no matter how careful Prince Emile was, it would be difficult to fill the hole in the second queen.
She is Prince Emile’s weakness.
1 There is no way the queen will miss it.
I will bite and hang on to the end and drive you into a trap.
‘Before that, they must be trying to solidify the surroundings of the 2 queens. To do that…’
Natalie thought of several wives to be placed next to the second queen.
We must hurry up and call them in.
When the 1st queen is not vigilant, it will be easier if you let her in as a maid for the 2nd queen.
I was writing a letter to the wives when the butler entered.
“Ma’am, the person you’ve been waiting for has arrived.”
“Ah, yes, are you here already? I’ll be leaving soon.”
Natalie finished her letter and stood up.
The woman visiting today is a rival who fought for the position of countess a long time ago.
Now I understand that she entered as the wife of a viscount.
He rarely appears in social circles.
Well, that’s because of Natalie herself.
Natalie gave a small smile and turned around.
Renee’s movements have been strange lately.
It seemed that he was trying to run away from the monastery.
furthermore….
Breathing was disturbed by the unpleasant feeling.
Natalie frowned and took a small breath.
‘I didn’t intend to use my hands otherwise if I just stayed calm.’
However, if the woman intends to approach the duke, I cannot let her go.
Natalie straightened her expression and left the room.
