Aobara-hime no Yarinaoshi Kakumeiki

In front of a stiff Alicia, she rocks her lustrous dark hair and her white, brilliant face slowly lifts. Alicia unbearably nagged before her glances met with those impressive eyes.

There he is. I can't believe you found him so fast.

All the sounds turn away, both from the performance of the court orchestra that fills the hall and from the bragging of the nobles staring at the steps of the mission. Instead, what comes to my ears is the sound of my heart beating hard on my chest and the footsteps of a man who goes on the carpet without hesitation.

If I gave him a slight glance, I saw the man there on the night of the revolution. A man who burned a flame of hatred in his purple eyes, cursed words on his thin lips, and grabbed a blunt, shining sword, was walking toward Alicia.

My whole body trembled in fear, and the sweat passed down my back. Every time a man takes a step, Alicia's heart is anointed with despair. Death, death itself, approaches with Alicia in mind.

A big hand grabbed Alicia's shoulder when she was finally about to scream.

"Shea? You look pale."

"... sorry, Father"

As soon as King James stood beside him whispered, the daydreams instantly disappeared and Alicia was drawn back to reality. Naturally, there is no sword in the hands of a dark-haired man, nor is there a fierce anger in his face.

As he was more tired, Alicia stood up exhaled, almost at the same time as the 10 missions lined up in front of the throne.

"Lloyd Sutherland is in his son, Liddy Sutherland. Your Majesty, I would like to thank you all very much for preparing such a feast for us this evening."

In a mission kneeling before the king, the man in the center spoke respectfully on behalf of him. The Sutherland family is the Duke family named to the Privy Council, and Lloyd is its current owner. Because of that complacency, I could see how Liddy talked and did it somewhere conceited.

"Thank you all for your long service. In that country, did you have a meaningful time?

"Of course there is. There's no question about the prestige of Heilland, but his country was full of surprises."

Between Liddy and King James, there will be some exchanges of acknowledgement and labor. In that gap Alicia sneaked a sneak peek at the other dark-haired man who imitated and drooped his head.

The man in front of me was a lot younger than he remembered. Of course, features such as hair and eye color, as well as a neat face and an even body to the point of horror, are no different from what they were in previous life. But on the bright side remained the boy's face, and there was no sharpness like a blade of escape.

"This dispatch of the visiting mission was a grief from the life of the Predecessor, who restored national relations with neighbouring countries. I'm counting on you to do all you can for this country."

"It's a waste of your time. Let us all be faithful in this place."

In a playful tone, Liddy drips his head deep. King James asked everyone to stand up, and they immediately followed.

"Liddy Sutherland"

"Ha."

Liddy first, and the king called each and every name in turn. What was called his name answered briefly, faintly reddening his ears and cheeks for exaltation. When all the others had been called, and it was finally the person's turn, Alicia stuffed her breath as she listened to each sound and sentence.

"Clovis Cromwell"

"Ha."

It must have a beautiful appearance, and Alicia engraved the name deeply in her chest when a pleasantly low voice replied to her ear.

Clovis Cromwell.

That was, in the near future, the name of the man who would take Alicia's life.

King James, who had finished calling the name of the mission, called with his hands up against all the nobles gathered in the hall.

"We hereby celebrate your return and further leaps. Enjoy yourself fully tonight. May this day be a new gateway to the kingdom"

"To Heilland, with honor!

Following Assistant Otto, the recitation echoes throughout the hall. The ceremony opened with a shout of cheer.

The Orchestra of the Court, which until earlier had struck a high fanfare, began to strike and change and play a light waltz.

The servants were more quiet, but the stiffness and whispering party dishes were arranged on their desks, and the guests were fond of the bubbling amber liquid.

"Your Majesty, Alicia is here."

"Uhm, right"

The king snorted at Chief Fourier, who approached him and slapped him in the ear. The ceremony ahead is early for Alicia before her social debut, where she enjoys dancing and deepens her interactions with other nobles while picking snacks.

Besides, it's time for her to have some free time. It was a great harvest to have just found the man in question or to know his name. But no more, I don't want to be in the same room as the man who took my own life.

After this, let's gather information on Clovis Cromwell while also looking at it in the Register of Lords first. With that in mind, Alicia gratefully pinched the dress in accordance with the modus operandi and tried to leave.

Unexpectedly, the king's heart held it back.

"Your Majesty, Dear Alicia. I'm in a good mood."

"Oh, Nigel? Thank you for your hard work tonight."

Assistant Otto, who was also the facilitator of today's ceremony, smiled at me and Alicia, who was about to walk away, corrected her posture.

The king had bought this, a magnificent man mixed with gray hair, in both work and humanity, in depth. For that reason, Alicia was also dear to him, and Otto loved Alicia, whom she missed.

"Good evening, Nigel. It's good to see you, but it's time for me to take my seat off."

"I think so, and it depends on the rush"

Assistant Otto's eyebrows tickled at his words. It was the same as Alicia who was concerned about his rhetoric. This means that he wanted to retain Alicia at all costs.

"You have something to explain. I don't care, tell me."

"Actually, Your Majesty and Dear Alicia, there is a young man you two would like to meet. As well as His Majesty's life, let it be a delicacy that sustains this country until Alicia's generation."

I see, and King James repeated it funny. The almond-colored eyes gleam with delightful colors.

"I wonder how many people your Lord would say that. I'd love to see you, too. Let me through."

"Thank you. - Both of you, come here."

Following the aide's gaze, which called him backwards over his shoulder, Alicia regretted not having just left.
