Purple Tulips (3)
This······. This is my mistake. I blamed myself and buried my lips in the teacup.
The prince’s gaze touched the side of his face.
“Little Sarnez will soon become a duke.”
“Yes, my father said so too.”
“Good.”
Emperor Frederic offered a future, and Kristel immediately gave an answer.
‘future’.
It wasn’t that I thought I was insignificant.
Unsurprisingly, I was the partner of the main character of ＜I Resigned and a Princess of Another World>, and was the partner of her prospective husband.
The male sub male didn’t decide to do it, but he was taking on such an important role.
Now, he is not just a hostage, he is the emperor’s marquis, and he has the only cardinal in the empire as his mentor.
He was also close friends with the 4th generation of Lister nobility.
Besides, didn’t you decide to accept and acknowledge your own feelings in Serenite?
I like the people I met here, and I want to be with them.
“Ugh.”
I fixed my eyes on the pond to calm the turmoil that was coming over me.
Sir John was teaching Eva something.
“Put it in and pull it out, Little Duke. If you make the circle smaller, it becomes a shamrock ring.”
“How about making it bigger?”
“Then I can use it as a bracelet.”
“Sir Haines is more useful than I thought. good.”
“ha ha ha.”
…so it’s really my mistake.
I was so focused on what I had to solve, I didn’t think deeply about what kind of person I would become to others.
I like Lister, but I wanted to protect the prince and let him meet the sisters of Shin-guk.
At the same time I had to go home.
As I was engrossed in these three mutually contradictory goals, I did not consider external factors at all.
If my friends want to intersect with me in the future, how should I deal with it?
“Elizabeth, you too will inherit the marquee position when your mother retires.”
“Yes. But it looks like the next 20 years are going to be great.”
“huh. Caroline would.”
“Do you have any plans to get married?”
The Emperor also spoke with Sir Elizabeth.
Cardinal Bootier brought up a topic like an elderly relative on a holiday.
Count Soh blushed and replied that nothing concrete has been decided yet.
Then Kristel broke up and said in a loud voice.
“The lieutenant guard will wait until the bridegroom turns 20. They seem to be holding a ceremony even tomorrow.”
“Oh my goodness.”
“haha.”
Master looked surprised to the beat of Christel.
The sound effect seemed to be ‘alnarikanari’.
I burst into laughter at their mischievous attitude.
This is their hometown and hometown, so they naturally planned for tomorrow and dreamed of the future.
It was as natural as breathing. Because I was like that in the house where Eunseo and hyung were.
“…Anyway, don’t stay confined to the imperial palace and mansion.”
The emperor looked around us and said, The cardinal added.
“When you ascend to the throne in the future, even if you want to leave, it will be difficult.”
“Go out when you can, and take a look at the lives of the people when you can. If there is any mistake I have made, it is your duty to tell him about it.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
The prince’s orange eyes slowly twinkled. Master gently stroked the back of my hand.
“You did a great job this time too, Prince.”
“no.”
“Actually, I talked to Frederick first. Let’s leave the Madame Victoire case to you.”
I blinked my eyes.
I was well aware that the emperor and the cardinals moved in one accord, but I didn’t know it was Master’s idea.
You said it as if it was Your Majesty’s sudden proposal. Was it all smoke?
“If our guess is correct, it was a very private revenge play. It seemed that Viktoire’s story would not see the light of day if it was pushed by force. I just wanted it to end with a thief running rampant and getting hit by the emperor’s mace.”
“I didn’t want that. Thanks to that commoner woman, I was able to catch the cheeky behavior of the local lords.”
‘I hate being in debt.’ the emperor murmured.
In short, she deliberately did not face Victoire with full force.
It didn’t do any good that the phantom thief was caught quickly, but on the other hand, she wanted her story to be known in a more dramatic way.
However, he said that he could not reason about the fact that there were two Victoires, and that Grandma Pom had lung disease or a carriage accident.
It was because, as the cardinal said, the two adults were unable to go to the scene.
“therefore······. Oh, you’ve already emptied all your snacks. Are you hungry?”
Master looked at Kristel and me and asked kindly.
We answered yes with embarrassment.
Around that time, Laura, the chief of staff, approached the emperor,
“your majesty. Dinner is ready.”
brought you the best news.
Eva turned around and pricked her ears.
It seems that Sir John was too lazy to listen to everything and convey the message. Indeed, the properties of air are amazing.
*
Dinner was awesome.
The royal palace food was originally delicious, but eating it outdoors made it even more palatable.
The servants who were waiting outside were relieved to hear that they were eating at a nearby palace.
A white moon was floating in the dark night sky.
The air was clear and you could see a lot of stars.
The tulips in the moonlight swayed happily while holding the hand of the wind.
It felt like I was in the middle of someone’s sweet dream.
A mysterious purple flower field, a few pieces of flowing clouds…
And an unforgettable after-dinner drink.
“Collock, Collock! Write, Your Majesty. It tastes weird!”
“Didn’t I say that it wouldn’t taste good?”
“But Sir Sarnez, uh. He said there was no such thing as a delicacy…”
‘My stomach is burning. Isn’t that the upper limit?’ The emperor was fed up with Eva’s reaction.
The Duke looked at Kristel in the seat next to him with a resentful look.
The main character frowned and put a lemon tart into the child’s mouth.
After eating well, Sir John smiled lowly.
The workers who served the empty plates also raised their eyebrows looking at us.
Today, Eva tried alcohol for the first time as an adult.
The child was busy going back and forth between the residence of the lord of the lord and the prince of the emperor to receive education for the successor these days.
Even in the midst of it, they said that they had never received alcohol from their parents, so the owner of the empire himself ordered the wine.
It would have been fine if it had been sweet wine or beer.
“I think it’s a bit early for Armagnac, Eva.”
I said as I pushed the glass of water to the boy. Then, dark brown eyes popped open.
I only took one sip of the drink, but my ears were dry. Hey, that’s 50 degree brandy!
“I can drink too!”
“I can drink it, but I might have a headache in the morning.”
“Adults said they had to get up and go to work even when the goal rang. Lord Rimless did that.”
I looked at Count Sou with calm eyes.
She tried to avoid my gaze and ate the pastille that came out of her mouth.
Didn’t you teach the truth of life too early?
“If you let it go like that, your nose will be crooked, so I’ll have to take you for a walk.”
‘Cedric, take your cousin with you.’ The emperor said with a smile.
The cardinal took a deep breath.
I don’t know, but I wondered if I was pouring out my soul nagging to my companion.
The prince rose from his seat elegantly, approached Eva and silently extended his right arm.
Admiration came out of nowhere. Even while riding the SRT, he looked like the main male Ropan.
“I, he, thank you.”
Eva is now as red as spiced chicken.
The peacock crept up and stood up with his arms crossed at the prince, and slowly began walking with him to the tulip patronage.
I smiled as I looked at the back of the two of them moving away.
It’s a pity that the prince didn’t show that kind of attitude toward Kristel, but it was good to get along with his cousins.
Worried about Eva, Count Soh followed the two of them.
“Prince. I have a question for you.”
“Yes, Sir Sarnez.”
I turned my head to meet Kristel’s eyes.
Shaking her glass finely, she continued to speak.
“Are commands like ‘Get down on your feet’ only in Penetian?”
“Yes?”
There was a rattle in the neck. I almost dropped the fork.
I got her question right after about three seconds.
Goosebumps grew on my forearms and the nape of my neck became cold.
The incident at the upscale pub ‘Blois’, where I met Modest Bakari, quickly flashed through my mind.
[Stop motion! Everyone close your mouth and get down!]
. . . I obviously had placed such an oracle on the fighters.
In an instant, my palms became wet and my lips became dry.
I was really sloppy, and if I had possessed it as the main character, I was an old-fashioned person who would have eaten up a country earlier.
Jesse Jeong, are you just saying Korean words like that because you’re angry?
Is the real hero from Korea standing next to you, holding on?
Did you even forget that?
“I asked Sir Elizabeth, and she said that there is no such command or action in the Empire. So when I saw the prince scolding the nobles, I was really surprised.”
‘I was surprised too. You are powerful.’ She opened her eyes and added playfully.
The tail of the horse drooped a little because he was drunk in moderation.
Kristel seemed to be ignoring it, but I was at a loss as to how to respond.
I just want to lie that I saw it in a new country,
“·················ogue.”
Across the street was Sir John. driving me crazy!
“I think it’s probably the Penetian royal military education method.”
At that time, the white-haired paladin broke his luck. I opened my chin in surprise.
“I’ve never been to the royal castle, but I’ve heard rumors that the training there is extremely difficult and that there are a lot of people who give up halfway. Instead, they said that the level of a refiner is comparable to that of a low-ranking knight.”
Mint-colored eyes drew an arc towards me.
I nodded as if broken and gulped the bottled water.
If I had left this guy’s snout still, I would have said something like, ‘Thank you for your help’ to Sir John.
Kristel said, ‘That’s right,’ and buried her lips in the round Armagnac glass and smiled.
I’m glad I got drunk…
“I also heard rumors that Shin-guk is hard at work, even as a rookie. Interesting.”
The emperor put a horse on the story of soldier training. This was an unexpected trend.
I was eating plum sorbet for dessert in case I asked anything, but Laura quietly approached me and bowed my head to the owner’s ear.
Upon hearing the report of the chieftain, the emperor rolled his eyes and looked at the entrance to the patronage.
All eyes were on the same place.
uh?
“You are the Marquis of François Duhem.”
“Ts. Has that time already come?”
The emperor kicked his tongue and got up.
As I tried to stand up, she reached out and stopped me. that period?
“Come and talk.”
“Send my regards as well.”
“okay.”
The Swordmaster’s firm hand rested on the cardinal’s shoulder and moved away.
I wondered what kind of conversation they had, the Marquis didn’t come and the emperor went out to meet him.
However, Master did not elaborate on this situation.
Under the magical lighting, her face gleamed slightly sadly. It seems to be a private matter, so I decided not to ask.
The emperor, who had strode forward, was already tapping the arm of the Marquis Duhem.
-thud
I was startled and shifted my gaze.
I saw Kristel, who was asleep with her head on the table.
Since I had a great work with the emperor with such a solo, I was able to endure it until now.
It wasn’t cold thanks to the pergola’s magic, but the kind Sir John took off his coat and covered her back.
When I saw the triangular shape of the open mouth, I laughed out loud. The main character is pretty even after drinking and hanging out.
“Did you have a good time?”
Suddenly, Master asked me. The wrinkled beige eyes were gentle.
I smiled and poured another spoonful of plum sorbet.
“Yes, it was informative and fun. In particular, His Majesty gave many good words. When implementing a new policy, when investigating or digging into something, I was impressed with the advice to always be mindful of your strength so as not to become a tyrant. Of course, I will not be crowned, but…”
“It can be anything else.”
She gently patted her back. I slowly swallowed the sorbet.
It was then that I realized that the cardinal’s ‘good times’ didn’t just mean tonight.
“Your Majesty, I…”
“I hope the prince will have a good time here in the future as well. It is sincere.”
A gentle hand caressed my cheek. Yes, this has been a problem ever since.
“If you wish.”
If my friends here want a part of my future, how far can I go?
“Only at the prince’s feet will the purple tulips bloom.”
As the master whispered, he finished speaking.

Over her shoulder, in the center of the purple backing, there was a man standing tall.
A pair of little suns stared straight at me. My eyes slowly widened.
no······. What did I just hear? Writer Come down and see.
