Curtain Call (8)
I have no mind
“Oh my, mother!”
I don’t know what the fuss is about this night.
“Don’t push, don’t push!”
“Wow!”
Claire Square quickly turned into a chaos.
Morris and the event organizers were squatting in the corner of the stage, trembling.
I looked at the bird perched on my forearm, and whispered in a low voice that the person next to me could not hear.
“you······. Are you brave?”
– quiver
Then the guy who looked like a phoenix tilted his head.
The poopy eyes were the same color as the ‘Ark of Biryeom’, which is the body of perseverance.
It was just politeness to sit on my arm with familiar movements, and to wiggle my torso pretending to be cute while growing up like this.
Marquis François’ pale pink eyes flashed sinisterly.
There was an impetus to study the yomojomo of the flying beast at any moment.
I ignored him and whispered again.
“Can you change into a bird other than a wren? Why haven’t you talked to him for a while?”
– Kiruru
Even birds from the Bible. In Zhouism, the ‘Phoenix’ was not a divine beast or a divine creature.
He is a kind of deity that assists the main god and soothes her loneliness, and was often interpreted as an alter ego of a god or a piece of a vessel.
I can barely understand why he took this shape, but he couldn’t hide his sudden and surprising feelings.
The guy took the hour hand and cleaned the wing feathers with his beak. squid.
“You can talk to hyung at the palace later.”
-Kiruk, Kat!
Then the bird coughed in an attempt to speak back.
I glanced at the crowd and quickly looked at him.
I was worried that I might have caught a cold in the cold weather. The phoenix opened its mouth meekly.
The yellow inside of the beak was similar to that of courage.
-Kek, Kat! Beep!
“Oh, I’ll find out.”
A guy the size of an eagle made a chirping wren sound. François tilted his head.
I hurriedly closed the kid’s beak with two fingers. Then this time,
-Sarr…
The phoenix’s left wing began to shrink with a light purple color!
It wasn’t that he was sick, but he seemed to be losing his confidence in real time. I opened my mouth wide.
The marquis noticed the incident and took a quick step closer to cover the situation.

One wing is now a chimney!
“I haven’t recovered my energy yet, but it’s because it’s too much. It was said that the small one shot the whole empire.”
I groaned.
Then, the mysterious eyes turned black like chocolate, and a characteristic white hair appeared on the right eye.
– beep
It was about what I didn’t like.
I sighed and patted his little back as if to soothe him.
Yes, it must have been hard because I was using all my strength without a master to serve. I must have been lonely by myself.
“Thank you, you worked so hard. Let’s go and get some rest. I take naps and eat sunflowers.”
– beep
Then he rubbed his head on my shoulder. By then, the commotion had grown even greater.
“Your Majesty, Emperor Frederic Lister, and Cardinal Aurelie Butier!”
“What?”
I doubted my ears.
But for anyone’s prank, his voice had authority, and in reality, the crowd in the square was splitting like the Red Sea.
The marquise, whose eyes met, was also greatly surprised.
The pirate ship that passed through the port of Sarnez has been flying all the way through the sky, so we expected that our news would arrive at the Imperial Palace.
Still, it is. You will have to go to the square in person.
– touk
Soon, the sharp boot toe was revealed.
I hugged my courage and lowered myself hastily. The Marquis bowed his back as well.
The most precious person in Lister went to what is said to be the lowest.
It was a moment when everyone in the Empire bowed their heads in front of her.
-aaa
“What is that?”
I covered my mouth first.

On her way to the stage, purple tulips were growing long.
The shock kept his chin wide open.
The story of Ariane and Philippe, which had been adapted for thousands of years, was not as dramatic as this.
That flower, which grows only in the royal court’s tulip support, was a blessing from the gods and a symbol of continental faith.
It was auspicious and a miracle for anyone to see.
“no······.”
What the hell is going on?
– Koo! Koo!
“100 million!”
My shoulders shuddered in surprise.
– Kwaang! thud!
I couldn’t count how many times my eyes blinked.
The three paladins who jumped off the pirate ship in the sky, Sir Erbe, and ordinary friends landed on the stage.
It’s very noisy because I’m afraid someone isn’t the main character’s party!
“Oh my gosh!”
“Aww, aww…….”
The crowd lying on the floor roared violently.
‘Ahh!’ There were even more conspicuous people who fainted.
In a land where it is said that meeting one royal family in a lifetime is an honor for the family, he witnessed the emperor and the crown prince at the same time.
In addition, the legendary purple tulips were blooming in the middle of nowhere.
It also made sense to let go of your mind or to hold your breath.
I whispered to Kristel dropping Ellen down.
“What about the kids?”
“I stayed on the boat. It kept coming out of my arms. He doesn’t seem to want to come down.”
She spoke politely to the emperor and whispered.
I carefully looked up at the night sky.
You don’t want to come down? Although Perry doesn’t like crowded places…
– Kiheung
Suddenly, something similar to Demi’s laughter was heard.
Two cute ears fluttered at the tip of the bow. My eyes slowly widened.
A lightning bolt of realization hit the top of my head!
“Nonsense.”
Is that what you did?
You said that you can’t bloom purple tulips, even though you were so mature, you didn’t even blink an eye. Was it all a lie?
Have you been acting in front of me all this time?
“Wow, the back of the head…….”
I washed my face and bowed my head.
I am truly grateful for the amazing directing to help us, but I was shocked that the lesser pandas that didn’t hurt even when I saw them deceived me until now.
Maybe because I thought I couldn’t act, so I didn’t know from the beginning and made the board… No, let’s not go there.
In the midst of blurred vision, Prince Sedric, who was set up like a statue, caught his eye.
I patted my courage and stared at him for a moment.
Did a guy named Maine teach the kids how to be a fox?

At the same time, the lordship of the Marquis Duem.
“it’s okay. The older brother and the younger brother must be meeting His Majesty by now! really······.”
Antoinette held Therese in her arms and made a quiet voice.
The youngest’s soft hair ran down her fingertips.
She was the ‘one and only’ older sister of the child.
He was also the one who would succeed the marquise in place of the younger brother, who wanted to retire as the captain of the guard if his eldest brother did not marry like this.
So no matter what, I had to be strong. Even if the frame was unfair and the parting hurts my heart, I shouldn’t be shaken easily.
Even if the Marquis Writer’s loyal knights eventually collided with the Imperial Guard.
– Diversity, Diversity, Diversity!
– Hehehe!
Therese shrugged. The cries of the horses who had left the castle were receding out the window.
The Berang family gathered in the living room with the sisters also held each other’s hands.
Baroness Anne Verand called Antoinette. It was a calm and friendly voice.
“Princess, come here. Let’s pray together.”
“·················ogue.”
‘Is that any good? Isn’t the Lord forsaken us like this?’
Instead of asking that question, Antoinette nodded.
Even thinking of the youngest brother who was still young, he had to not eat a pessimistic heart.
Soon, the two princesses and three families sat down in one place.
Baron Fabrice Verand first closed his eyes and began to pray.
“O Lord, please take away your divine whims so that your innocent children may not suffer.”
Even though the room was warm, Therese kept shivering.
Baron Elodie, who found him, poured tea from the kettle next to the wall and handed it over.
The two girls’ eyes met. The small corners of his lips rose softly at the same time.
Antoinette wrapped her shawl around Elodie’s shoulders.
Suddenly, a foolishly optimistic thought crossed her mind.
I think it’ll be fine.
As we trust each other, lean on each other, and earnestly hope, tomorrow will surely be okay.
“Antoinette.”
Then, someone rushed into the living room. The prayer stopped and our eyes gathered together.
Antoinette got up from her seat.
“Mariel?”
“A commoner visitor has come to the castle. But let’s say you know our guests.”
Mariel took Antoinette’s hand and spoke quickly.
She was the healing priest of the Marquis Duheme, the princess’s childhood friend and religious companion.
Antoinette tilted her head and looked over her friend’s shoulder.
Benjamin and Canael were seen with their faces full of reminiscence. and······.
“Hello, Princess. My name is Laurence Condé, who is the land of Marquis François. He is also a chef at the Juliet Palace.”
A woman who looked about fifty years old bowed down to her.
If it was the story of ‘Chef Laurence’, Antoinette had heard it too.
She was a talent that Prince Jesse admired from time to time, and a chef known for her colorful menu and excellent taste.
But I didn’t know that such a person had an enemy in my older brother’s estate.
“Nice to meet you. What happened to the castle at this time……”
“Laurence’s family and neighbors say there is something they want to do for the Marquis.”
Benjamin calmly explained. Antoinette looked at him once and turned to Lawrence.
The middle-aged man’s eyes lit up with sadness.
“Gongnyeo, Yeongji-min knows the current situation. I don’t know very much, but it’s not dark either. The Marquis isn’t here, Prince Jesse has come and gone, and the garrison is down to the chin… We also heard it consciously. I clearly saw a person called the Imperial Guard crossing over to the territory and wielding a sword, and the knights sacrificing themselves to catch it.”
Lawrence grabbed her skirt and spoke again and again. In one hand was a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
Antoinette’s complexion darkened every moment.
I tried my best to fill the vacancy of the two older brothers, but in the end, this happened.
He became a great aristocrat who gave anxiety to the powerless Youngji people. was utterly ashamed.
“I’m sorry. However, since the Marquis’ Knights are present, the safety of Young Ji-min will not be threatened.”
“So we will go too.”
“What?”
Antoinette’s eyes became the size of a plate. Lawrence didn’t stop talking.
“I heard the story. The knights wanted to fight but couldn’t fight properly because the garrison was your majesty’s army. If you confront it, you will be facing the country.”
“The battle is already unstoppable. There was an advance advance in the garrison. It’s dangerous, so lock the door and stay at home. I’m going to impose a curfew until the afternoon.”
“If we go out together naked, we won’t be able to attack.”
“·················ogue.”
I was out of breath. The princess held Mariel’s hand tightly.
“Because, Princess. Your Majesty doesn’t like that very much. Armored men attack those without weapons, and superiors harass those below them. Just looking at it like that makes you cringe. I know it well because I am a member of the Imperial Palace. No matter how strong the garrison is, they can’t do anything stupid that wields a sword at the people.”
It was absurd logic.
It was impossible for the Duhem family to use a helpless civilian as a shield to prevent the tyranny of the garrison.
Antoinette immediately shook her head.
“Don’t talk nonsense and go back.”
“Our Conde family alone has 300 people. We gathered from all over the country for our daughter’s wedding.”
“How can you think of risking your life when there is such an inclination?”
“How many times has the Marquis risked his life to save something like us, Princess.”
For a moment, I cry and my throat hurts. I could feel Mariel’s warmth enveloping her soul.
“Every year, every year, you invite us, who can’t even fight, to join us. Worry about drought in spring, and worry about flood damage in summer. We all know that you come out to the corner of the estate and look around the farmland. I always see people experimenting with quirky inventions outside the castle, coming and going. You’re making it for us, but how come you don’t know?”
“·················ogue.”
“Princess. The prince gave me a gift yesterday that my daughter was getting married. They also paid the portal fee and covered more than half of the cost of the wedding ceremony. How many weeks of vacation? How can I repay all of this grace in my life?”
Lawrence’s voice became hoarse. A sigh was mixed at the end of the sentence.
She offered the bouquet she was holding to Antoinette’s arms.
“My daughter and son-in-law have a taste of flesh these days. The young lord’s family, who takes good care of the neighbors, is very good, and the prince who takes good care of his mother is also very good. I wish it was always like this.”
“You-all.”
“So, let’s keep this place together. We want it.”
The woman wiped her cheek with the back of her puffy hand. Canael handed her a handkerchief.
This time, Therese came to her side and hugged her older sister’s neck.
Antoinette nodded, laughing and crying at the same time.
