107 Operation Verona (3)
“What is the cause?”
Prince Sedric whispered coldly. I hesitated.
“······sorry. I know that Lord Haines is not easily forgiven. I’m not asking for that either. I just want to convey a word to your Majesty. I was going to write a letter, but I think it would be better to say it in person.”
Like a cloud that obscures the moonlight, dissatisfaction over her beautiful appearance.
Leah and Perry hovered at his feet, rejoicing.
Somehow, he said he would not come back from the garden, but it seems that the prince made a vine so that he could come up to the balcony.
If it was the prince’s physical ability, there would have been no need for that, but it was surprising that he did not ignore the sincerity of the boys.
Demi rolled herself under my feet and began to sleep.
“I think it was Johann Haynes that ignored my code.”
“What password?”
“·················ogue.”
He quietly brushed his black hair.
It was the first time I saw this attitude, and it seemed quite frustrating.
The prince sent me a password? when?
“You wouldn’t be in a position to forgive him.”
The man turned around. I answered right away.
“I don’t think Sir Haynes is innocent. Of course you should be punished.”

Orange eyes stared at me.
A cool summer night’s wind disturbed the curtains. An owl crowing was heard in the distance.
“But I believe there is room for extenuating circumstances. Sir Haynes has an issue. My sick son was taken hostage by Guk-seo.”
I explained to the prince the story of the paladin, which I could not even reveal on the forest road that day.
He spoke in detail about the covenant that Sir Haines made to me, and also expressed his desire to meet the Crown Princess.
The prince did not show any reaction while listening to my story. That was pretty irritating.
It must have been to help me that you came all this way at such a late hour…
That alone was something to be thankful for, and he had plenty of reasons to reject my request.
I clenched and opened my fists and continued.
“I don’t think your Majesty must listen to my request. I understand that your Majesty has a cause, and that he has important values to uphold. I am not arguing that what I am saying is absolutely correct. but······. I just wanted to let you know that there are people who think like me.”
“·················ogue.”
“I just wanted to let you know that there are options out there to save Sir Haines. It’s completely different from not being considered in the first place and having even a slight possibility.”
I looked straight at him and closed the sentence. The prince looked at me with sullen eyes.
After several tens of seconds passed, he finally opened his mouth.
“Princess Sarnez was right.”
“yes?”
“They said you would be tying up your hair to help Haines.”
“Have you met the princess?”
My voice got a little louder. I glanced at the bedroom door and looked up at him again.
“Are you two dating without me?”
“Is that a question with an unpleasant connotation?”
“This is a message with good intentions.”
I barely held onto the raised corners of my lips. It was a rumor I heard in a while.
“When did you see it? Where?”
“……Today in Romero. I just accepted your request for an interview.”
My mouth opened slightly.
I heard that the prince does not let outsiders into Romero’s palace, but Christel has already entered twice.
The heavy heart over the matter of Sir Haines and Crown Princess Elissa was relieved by the news of the prince and Christel.
Still, it was fortunate that the two were steadily getting closer. The prince got lucky.
“If that’s the case, then I can’t let you meet His Majesty.”
“yes? Wait.”
I erased my laughter. But the prince had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.
“Your confinement will only be released when the Crown Princess returns.”
“·················ogue.”
“Isn’t that obvious?”
My eyes grew on their own.
This sounded to mean that Emperor Frederick did not trust the Crown Princess.
And in context, the reason for the distrust was not simply that she was the heir to the throne of an enemy country.
“Are you afraid that the Crown Princess will harm me?”
“Even if it’s not you. Anyone in the new country who accompanies her can target you.”
that was it

Of course, attacking me again at the same time now would be read as meaning that I was willing to go to war.
It’s crazy, but it’s not theoretically impossible, and I almost died in the Imperial Palace.
I thought confinement was just meant to protect me while cracking down on the inside and outside of the imperial palace.
Now it seems that the Emperor has no plans to expose me to the Crown Princess.
shit. what to do
– Whit!
That was then.

Outside the balcony, a small whistle sounded from the flower bed of Juliet Palace. I was just startled.
The prince looked down calmly.
“It’s time to go.”
“Who is there?”
I pulled my body out and looked down, and a familiar short hair came into my view.
Cat-like eyes gently curved towards me in the dark.
I was stunned and looked at the prince and his friend alternately.
Still, I forgot to wave to her.
“Why did you come all the way here quietly? You have brought in Sir Elizabeth.”
It seemed that the commander of the neighborhood guard had a plausible excuse and bitten the guards for a moment.
The man ignored me and sat with one leg on the balcony railing.
It was about to leave.
“You can naturalize it.”
He looked at me and said low.
At the same time, the clouds receded and the bright moonlight shone on the balcony.
He said that he was neither a prince nor a Lister now, but the man was wearing all kinds of decorations and decorations to signify his noble status.
“If you give up your right to the throne, Guk-seo will no longer be after you.”
“It could be.”
I affirmed. And I told him half of my worries.
“But I think we should at least ask the Crown Princess for an opinion. Usually that kind of problem… I have discussions with my family.”
“Even if you are not a Penetian, you are you.”
That’s right, I mean, the real prince’s position might be different.
I laughed bitterly. In addition, the impact of naturalization had to be considered.
From the point of view of the possessor who did not know one inch ahead, everything was a risk factor.
Now think about what happened when you went to see the kiss cam of the Marquis Duhem.
Before the war broke out, the world was almost out of work.
“I will keep thinking. I can’t just turn down an offer like that.”
I said.
He made eye contact, then jumped out of the balcony without answering.
It was then that I realized that I had forgotten to say hello.
“there,”
He hurriedly grabbed the railing and shouted downwards.
“Thank you for coming.”
Then he smiled.
Although he was only a flashy item and he didn’t take me to the Emperor, he seemed to be a pretty good friend today.
The young sun that rose at night flickered once in the pitch black and disappeared.
*
The afternoon of the 5th day of confinement.
“Prince, I have delivered the letter you sent to Princess Blanquere and Priest Sant.”
“Good job, Canael.”
I beckoned, and the boy sat across from the table.
“The terrace on the first floor is also good. The shade of the trees is nice.”
“I’m glad you like it. Would you like to use the terrace on the west side tomorrow? It is even prettier because you can see part of the garden.”
Canael answered with a soft smile.
The scenery of the bedroom balcony and the drawing room was a little boring, so I came out to the terrace on the back of the first floor.
I thought I was more confident than anyone else in being locked up, but I felt cramped, probably because I had been with the main characters for several months.
I wondered what the two of them were doing.
It seemed that the empty outdoor gymnasium looked so good. Note that it is also closed.
The prince is a busy person, so he will be like that today, and what about Kristel?
He said he would become stronger, so he didn’t know he was being taught by the Duke’s knights.
You could have taken Eva to a luxurious tea house.
After thinking for a while, I checked my notebook again. It was full of checklists and scribbles.
“I think I did everything I could.”
Sighs mixed with self-talk.
Canael nodded and placed the jejueat on an empty plate.
I took a large bite of the hot pastry.
“Delicious but disturbing.”
“Prince, don’t say that. These days, I only eat 2 servings at a time, so everyone is worried.”
Canael hastily poured cockscomb flower tea into a teacup.
“It’s okay, thank you” and took the glass. Milfeuille was also placed on Canael’s plate.
I just wanted to take care of the people around me like this.
I’m an ignorant supporting actor, and I don’t have much power to stop the war, but I tried to help as many as I could to those I could see.
So far, I thought it was going pretty well, but this time it was very difficult.
It involved the two countries as well as the Holy See, and Lord Haines’ child was on the other side of the continent.
Feeling frustrated, I chewed the cockscomb flower in the tea water and ate it.
For the first time, I felt helpless.
In the original version, Kristel was not a paladin, and the prince was clearly a Swordmaster.
Therefore, there is a possibility that the writer did not welcome the appearance of Sir Haynes, a teacher of the Paladin.
Perhaps he will play a role where he rubs against the main characters once.
It might be his fate to leave like this.
“after······.”
I’ll be honest. If I can’t see the Crown Princess, it’s good for me.
It’s an opportunity for me to completely hide, because I don’t know what to look like in front of her or how to speak.
still······. this was not I felt uncomfortable.
I couldn’t eat the whole Jejuite and put it down. Canael gently grabbed my wrist.
“The prince did his best.”
“·················ogue.”
“The Lord will look at you and give you a present.”
The boy’s golden eyes shone resolutely. I smiled vaguely.
Well, I thought I got a precious item yesterday too, but I didn’t.

“Perry, go to sleep. Where are your friends?”
– Kiing
Perry pricked up her black ears and ran to me.
I caressed him and hummed Lister’s lullaby that I had learned from Benjamin.
Just because I couldn’t sleep, it didn’t mean that the red pandas or the perseverance did so.
He gently stroked the forehead of the wren who sat on the armrest of the chair, and then walked to the balcony.
I was planning to bring Demi and Leia to bed early and try something else tomorrow.

Okay. Let’s not give up even though the Crown Princess hasn’t entered the palace yet.
Canael and Benjamin are cheering for you,
“Ugh.”
I hugged Perry and made a suffocating sound.
My legs were so weak that I almost fell down.
The other party whose eyes flashed in the dark wanted to stop seeing it.
It’s not July, so it’s not a special feature!
“Prince!”
Christel, hanging from the balcony railing of Juliet Palace, smiled brightly with her bright blue eyes.
Demi and Leia, who climbed up on her back, looked very proud.
If you look closely, you can see that this vine was stepped and there were many flowers in various places.
Should I praise this?
“Princess Sarnez, what are you doing here?”
As I embraced the divine beasts, I whispered quickly. Then Kristel made a very serious face.
“I am not Sarnez.”
no······. Why do all the people who come here leave their families behind?
“I’m not Blanquer either!”
“Eva?”
I was astonished to see Kristel’s head protruding to the side.
The little boy is about to ask why he was brought in, but our main character spoke with a more serious voice than ever before.
“Operation Verona has been launched. We are here to help the Prince. This lady’s code name is ‘Tybalt’. By the way, the prince is ‘Montaugu’.”
Even though the operation name was Verona because of the balcony, it was strange that the tenant was Montague.
Besides, isn’t Tybalt killed by Montague?
“Princess, if you are caught, you will be in trouble. Even if you don’t know the prince, the two of you are not living in the Imperial Palace, but at this time…”
“I don’t know who the prince is, but if it’s ‘Capulet,’ there is.”
Kristel raised her voice and frowned.
I stared blankly in the direction she was pointing.
In front of the flower bed below, the prince was standing with a stern look.
Next to him was Sir Elizabeth, waving in the same posture as yesterday.
The madman said he couldn’t meet the emperor, so he called in personnel?
“Is the Prince Capulet?”
“Yes, Tybalt’s cousin. The person next to you is your friend ‘Merkyu Show’.”
Even if you are faithful to the setting, you are disloyal…
“Then the princess,”
“I am the one leading this operation.”
Is it also Shakespeare?
Kristel smiled and lowered the eyepatch she was wearing over her head.
Her left eye was covered.
“My code name is Tom Cruise.”
You alone are ＜Operation Valkyrie>!
