202 186. Real Thinkers
"What can I do for you?
I was a little surprised, but here with my normal heart. Chanel thinks he\'s someone else in red because he doesn\'t know who I am, but if I\'m the only one familiar with him, he\'s obviously suspicious.
"Yes, I\'d like to talk to you for a moment."
"Is that for Luciana?
"Yes... even to Master Raveld..."
You want to talk to me about something, too?... I don\'t mind anything, what is it?
"Okay. Then go inside."
I thought it was a gift from the Empire. I checked the hallway, but the only soldiers in the Empire who were there when we got here. I can\'t feel any other signs. The guy who doesn\'t even detect my signs is probably gonna be okay because he\'s not.
I\'ll let Chanel and Mari into the room. Alexia looks surprised and Luciana has a surprised look on her face. I go back to my former seat, and Chanel and Mari make me sit next to Luciana.
"How could you guys?
"I\'m sorry, Lucy. I can\'t stand it."
Chanel tells Luciana that, she turns to me. He\'s trembling a little anxiously, but he looks determined.... I miss you. It\'s a face I\'ve seen several times in my previous life.
"So what are you talking about?
"Yes...... I understand and say disrespect. Lucy...... could you stop being engaged to Luciana!?
"Kana! What are you talking about!?
Luciana takes her seat and screams at Chanel\'s remarks. What does that mean?
"Lucy has someone she likes. The truth is, we were supposed to get married after the previous war... but we lost the war and we lost the story."
Is that the shade sometimes seen from Luciana? That doesn\'t seem like the only reason, but it\'s still a convincing story.
"Kana! No more! I\'m here because I want to! Besides, this is a story decided by His Majesty the Emperor. Kana, it doesn\'t make any difference!
"But! Lucy and the craftsman would know if they were watching! They like each other, and it\'s this story that makes it look so spicy!
Chanel squeezes her hands hard and screams. And...
"I\'ll do whatever I can! So! So can\'t you think about talking to Lucy!?
"Kana!"
"Kanamin!?
Chanel lowering her head towards me. Luciana and Mari seem surprised by Chanel\'s statement. Alexia glances at Chanel with her arms together and wrinkles between her brows. Beautiful face ruined.
"Alexia, don\'t look so scared"
That\'s why I grilled your eyebrows with my index finger. Alexia screams "Ha ha" and stares at me. Chanel and Luciana, who had just bowed their heads, look at us with a decent look.
What are you doing at a time like this, Ray?
"Don\'t look so hard. You ruined your pretty face, didn\'t you?
"Ki, what\'s beautiful!? Hey, not if you\'re saying that now!
Alexia turned her face bright red and pointing pointy at her. That\'s cute.
"Yep..."
"Oh, I\'m sorry. I understand your story. [M] I don\'t mind personally. Because people who don\'t like each other stick together don\'t make you, them, or anyone else happy around them.
However, this story involves stories between countries. In this case, the Regalia Empire and the kingdoms where we are. Well, now it\'s the kingdom of Nanol. In a terrible way, Luciana will be held hostage. Do you see that?
Chanel nods at my story.
"Luciana is the second empress of the Regalia Empire. Her daughter-in-law creates friendship between us and the Legalian Empire, albeit haribote. There will be no war because of her.
Well, sometimes the Legalian Empire cuts her off, and we might break it. That\'s why I\'m a halibut. That\'s what we\'re gonna talk about for once. "
"You\'re telling me to give her back. Then there would have been nothing to talk about this friendship. Then you\'d think that as the Legalian Empire side, we wouldn\'t be willing to make friendships. Then we will be surrounded here by the Regalia army. And it\'s going to be war."
"What?"
Chanel looks at Alexia with a surprised look on her face.
"Only this time, the big name is on the Legalian Empire side. The Legalian Empire offered its own princess to bond friendship, but we, the other side, refused to do so. I will tell you that I have made the Empire\'s favor unhindered. Perhaps other countries won\'t help us if we do. If you\'re bad, so is Nanol."
"Oh, no..."
Chanel still looks like she\'s about to cry. I seem surprised it turned out to be a heavier story than I thought. Well, maybe I have no choice but to say that I have never been in a world like that before.
I\'m glad we talked about this. The others, maybe all three of them had been caught.
"Well, I hope that stands out"
"Ha, Ray really likes you. Well, I like that about Ray."
Alexia smiles at me in disdain. Alexia seems to know what I\'m trying to say.
"What is that..."
"Easy story, you don\'t have to break your engagement."
Over Chanel\'s heads? seems to be blooming.
"On the face of it, me and Luciana are engaged and take them back to King\'s Land. I guess it\'s enough to bring that opponent in afterwards and live in the king\'s realm for two. If you were in the king\'s realm, the empire wouldn\'t find out so easily, and even if you did, you wouldn\'t know it because there\'s no evidence to penetrate it. There are no cameras in this world, so I can\'t leave pictures behind."
"" Huh?
"I don\'t think you\'re going to ask me to come out on official business. Is that okay?
"Of course it is."
Asking Luciana gives me a nod. Well, that\'s about all I can think of right now to make it easy. If we had the strength to fight head-on against the Regalia Empire, we would be able to poke soon, but now we can\'t rule the kingdom first.
Chanel and Mari will look at me with a surprised look on their face, but what is it? Is there something on my face? Well, let\'s talk about it now. Now I think about the other guy.
"So what is Luciana thinking of the person?
"It\'s... one of those brave men who says Takumi"
……
……
Are you really a brave man? Silence continues between us. That\'s a lot harder. Um, what\'s the matter? If the brave disappear from this country, it will be a fuss.
Is there any solution? How not to make a scene without a brave man. There is only one way, but it needs materials. You won\'t be able to do it any time soon. That\'s when the door is knocked again.
Just like earlier, when I opened the door and looked, there was an imperial civilian standing. When I heard the story, he told me it was time for me to start getting ready like it was party time. Is it that time already? It\'s tomorrow to think about it again.
Tell everyone about it. Everyone will be ready to attend.
"I apologize for the sudden talk. My shallow thoughts have bothered Lady Leivert."
"I don\'t mind. As we talked about earlier, even if those who don\'t like each other are together, they will be unhappy, not only for themselves, but all around them. If you still think it\'s bad, can we talk a little after today\'s party?
"Talk, is it?
"Oh, I need to tell you something."
"... ok"
Three people who say so and leave. I\'ve got a lot more to do, but first...
"Re ~ i ~. It\'s nice of you to invite a woman in front of your fiancée, isn\'t it?
I need to convince Alexia to turn a grin I\'m not laughing at as she grips my shoulder... her shoulder hurts.
