1229 Wedding day (1) - Preparation downstairs -

The next morning, the day of the wedding, is the 20th of the black month.

That day, I woke up with a Kimus duvet, and I was going to make myself feel good while making a big "hmmm" sound.

Somehow, it's a refreshing wake.

Whether the stroll through the castle town and the ascent of the Watershed Tower became a pleasant exercise -- or whether it was because I ate Giba meat day and night -- or whether the majesty of the world seen from the Watershed Tower moistened my mind -- anyway, I felt such a clean feeling that the correct meal and sleeping time healed my physical and mental exhaustion in the right way.

(I hope Wellhead and Corfea can wake up with this feeling)

With that in mind, I started getting dressed.

Then she took off her nightgown and put her arms through her loose naked clothes, and the bunk bed was slightly squeaky. And immediately, the face of Rudo = Lou, who was asleep in the upper section, peeked into my face.

"Hey, I woke up today."

Then Rud-luu whispered to him, whether he caught the others' ears open.

I whispered, "Good morning," and Rudo-Lou spilled his white teeth. Because my hair was drooping and my forehead was fully open, I couldn't help but look like a cute, childish smile somewhere.

I waited for Rudo-Roux to finish his change of clothes and left the bedroom together.

Even today, a loving patriarch was waiting outside the door.

"...... Rudo = Luu also woke up a long time ago."

"Hmm? You look unhappy." Is it Fa's custom to let family members talk about it not only before going to bed, but also after you wake up? "

While saying so, Rudo = Lou blocked his ears with both hands.

"Then you can tell me as much as you want." I can't hear you if I'm doing this. "

"It's not like there's such a habit." In the first place, I don't look dissatisfied. "

"But, you made a happy face when you saw Asta, but you quickly retreated."... ahh, but that's not just in the morning, it's always the usual thing. "

"...... I think you're listening firmly."

As Ei = Fa gazed at her red face, Rud = Lou laughed, "Nhihihi" with her ears covered in posing.

So the other faces, which the three of them were talking about, also emerged one after another. Eventually, by the end of the quarter, 20 people from the forest and Pratica had mixed up.

"Well then, let's get to work." Even today, it's never too early to finish. "

We were asked to prepare the bathhouse just like yesterday, and we were able to head to the kitchen half a minute later.

The chef was locked up, so the shape remains exactly as it was yesterday. As soon as I started working on it, Princess Dershare and Nicolas arrived.

"Oh no. It looks like you're getting up earlier today than yesterday." The servants were surprised that it hadn't been an hour since sunrise. "

While saying so, Princess Dell Share yawned, "Fuwaah." It's a true royalty, but it's an adorable figure.

"I'm sorry to let you go with me." Isn't it hard for Princess Dell Share to take a tour of the kitchen from morning to evening? ”

"But that's why I hooked up to Banam." We can't let Pratica get behind us. "

Pratica's innocent smile on Princess Dershare's face made her feel troubled by the reaction.

Yesterday, you were touring Banam Castle's cookery at noon, right? How was it over there? "

"Yeah. That was interesting." It feels like you're twisting your head and stretching your workmanship for less ingredients. I don't know if I need to try the essential flavor. "

Due to the amount of drowsiness that remains, Princess Dell Share's voice has been kept to a minimum. Even so, she seemed not dissatisfied with yesterday's tour because she had a pleasant appearance.

"How was Asta and the others?" From noon, it was a sight for the castle town, wasn't it? "

“Yes, I think it was very meaningful. What was impressive was the tower of sight.”

"Huh, did you even see the Tower of Objects?" When I was a little girl, I liked to climb the tower of things. "

After all, there is a tower of sight in the royal castle of Jagal.

"That's right." The Imperial Castle is the most important place to protect. Especially since he was alert to foreign enemies when the kingdom was established. "

"An alien enemy?" asked Ai-Fa sharply.

Princess Dershare bit off her little yawn and then nodded, "Yeah."

"The so-called people who came from other countries?" Now it's a friendly relationship, but it's probably the result of our ancestors protecting the continent. ”

"I see. The southern capital of the kingdom was also facing the sea."... is it a coincidence that both the western and southern kingdoms face the sea? "

"Ah, by the way, the first king capital in the east that died in the first 100 years or so was facing the sea." Then maybe it was in preparation for the arrival of the people of the past. "

Having said that, Princess Dellshare laughed briefly.

"Ai = Fa-sama really likes these kinds of stories." Well, I wonder if you're more familiar with this kind of story than Mr. Vermes. "

“Yes, I'd like to ask if I can get a ride with you on the way home....... By the way, do you see the people of the present day in the southern kingdom often?"

"No, I'll just listen to the rumors when I forget." Selva's the only one who deals a lot, right? It's impossible for me to courtship people like Tikatras. "

"... that's probably an unlikely act even in the Western King's City."

When Ei = Fa answered with a bitter smile, Princess Dell Share also laughed "Ahaha".

Ah, Tikatras-sama remembered that, but was Coffia-sama okay?

"... um? Are you okay?"

"Somehow, you chased the people around the forest and headed to the castle on your own, right?" After that, I heard you came back to Banam Castle with your weeping eyes. "

Princess Dell Share's lewd words almost turned me upside down.

Ei = Pha carefully mouths, instead of which Sphyra = Zaza shouts sharply.

“Why do you understand such a story? Didn't Corfea blow it himself?"

"Yeah, I just heard it from my maid." Somehow, you were worried that someone around the forest might break the wedding like Tikatras-sama? "

"... does your maid have eyes looking across the wall?"

"Oh dear, you're not a magician." My maidservant is only good at picking up rumors. Of course, I haven't told anyone this story, so if you don't have to look so scared, you don't have to. "

Having said that, Princess Dell Share looked more and more innocent.

"Besides, I trust the people around the forest." No way, you're not going to courtship Mr. Wellheid at the wedding, are you? "

“And, of course! There's no way I can imitate that!”

Reina-Lou shouted with a panicked face, and Princess Dell Share smiled back at you.

"Was it someone around the forest, Reina = Lou?" However, I haven't heard from Genos that someone in the forest has fallen in love with Mr. Wellheid, so I'm guessing it's a mistake on the part of Mr. Coffier. "

"Yes, yes, that's right"

"Then don't worry."... love with a different identity can only end in sadness. "

Was it about Sphila = Zaza and Laylis - or was it about what Princess Delcheer had in mind for me? Princess Dershare laughed reluctantly and looked somewhat thorough.

After that, Princess Dellshare's interest shifted to cooking, so she could change the subject. Reina = Lou looked worried, and Sphila = Zaza looked harsh, but now she had no choice but to believe that Korfia had regained her feelings.

So the time passed solemnly, and it was in the midst of the sky in no time.

Princess Dell Share, whose engine was running, said, "Wow!” He raised a loud exclamation.

"It was almost half a day's work!" The people on the edge of the forest really have great health! "

"Yes, I think I can take the time to finish my work." It shouldn't take more than four minutes. "

Therefore, I decided to take a full lunch break. The lunch is a simultaneous feast dish, featuring a miso soup full of Giba meat and vegetables, and grilled black fuwano with cheese.

The meals are carried to the dining room right next to the kitchen. Yesterday, I invited all the faces of the Alaut and the Count of Turan. But as expected, everyone is busy on the day of the wedding, and there are no visitors today. We were to surround the table with 20 of our compatriots from the forest, 3 of the spectators, and 3 of the [Guardian] who had joined us at this time.

No, I'm terrified that you can have lunch with the princess of Jagal for two days in a row.

Camua-Josh laughed like that. He was in a position to get acquainted with Princess Dershea for the first time on this journey. However, since both Camouflage-Josh and Princess Del Share were innocent and brave characters, it was a buzz that I had never thought I would see before.

"Ah, before I startle you, I'll let you talk as you please unless the nobles are present!" Don't worry about the [Guardian]! "

“That's it. It's a behavior worthy of the royalty in the south. I'm sure that frankness has deepened our ties with the people around the forest.”

"Haha. It's too frank and perhaps more annoying!"

Those two laughs were lunchtime BGM for us. Yesterday, the conversation was centered around Alaut, so Princess Dell Share seemed to be blowing up her own personality today.

"Nevertheless, Master Camua-Josh is also the man of the puppet show, and I'm surprised!" Really, Master Rico and Master Belton are very much puppeteers! "

"Oh my gosh, Princess Dell Share smells like a naive traveller."

"Yeah! It's a hassle to be able to use it all the time!" Camua-Josh, you've met Rico and the others, haven't you? "

"Yes, we spent last year's Easter festival together in Genos." It was a privilege for the Guardian to be accompanied by Van Deylo. ”

"Easter?" After all, Camua-Josh is also planning to spend the Easter Festival in Genos? "

"I would like to do that, but I'm still talking about the two months ahead." I can't predict what's going to happen, because I'm an unbeatable rootstock to Rico. ”

Even after they missed lunch, they talked lively.

Of course, the other faces weren't just listening in silence, but the presence of both names would be distinguished. Ravitz's eldest brother, who was not so familiar, seemed to be listening to those two conversations with a very interesting smile.

─ ─ The door between the booths was knocked at a time when there was still a quarter of a second left in the lunch break.

“Excuse me, Princess Corfea is here to greet you.”

And some of the people by the edge of the forest lifted up their spines as if they were glad.

Then Camua-Josh laughs and speaks.

"With this number of people, it's hard to say hello." Shouldn't we just welcome the people who greeted us yesterday? "

The faces that I greeted yesterday were, of course, the faces that I confided with Princess Corfea in the castle town. Ziza-Lou consulted with Dari-Sauthi in a low voice, and then stood up and said, "Okay."

"Well, let's take care of it that way." Sphila = Zaza, Ai = Fa, Asta, Reina are here. "

We were left with the worried faces of our brothers and sisters looking out the door.

Then, out of the door, Corfea and the maid stand in a corridor lined up by Jagal's soldiers, who were escorted by Princess Delshare. Wearing the same olive-coloured outfit as when we first met, Korfia bowed her eyes down and bowed gently.

"I'm sorry to bother you during the holidays. Could you spare me a moment?”

Hmm. I don't think it would be appropriate in a place like this.

“Yes, if you don't mind, this room.”

Kofia's steps are shrill, aiming for the adjoining room on the other side of the kitchen. And when the maid opened your door, Corfea smiled quietly.

“So, you wait here.”

The maid frowned for a moment, but she stepped aside without returning her words to her husband.

It is a room of about six pages, which is not very well equipped. We didn't have enough chairs, so we stood up against Coffia.

"Lady Reina-Ru, Lady Sfira-Zaza... I'm really sorry that other people showed up so embarrassed yesterday." I would like to express my heartfelt apologies. ”

When the door was snugly closed, Corfea dropped her head deeply.

From here, Ziza = Luu answers "No".

“I don't think we're being bothered enough to apologize. However, if your feelings have settled down, I will be happy."

"Yes... thanks to you, I couldn't help but look at my own shallowness"

Korfia was as calm as the night she first met, and even more difficult to read.

─ ─ The white side was twitching with joy, and tears were accumulating under her eyes.

"I still can't feel confident in myself. I'm a really bad person, so I guess that's unavoidable. But... thanks to Master Sphila-Zaza, I woke up. I don't want to believe in myself, I want to believe in the impartiality of Wellheid.”

“That's the best part. But why do you despise yourself like that? It seems to me that you are a righteous man.”

When Sphila-Zaza responded in that way, Coffia smiled a little uncomfortable.

“It's probably because of my family. The House of Baron Ruamat...... is a so-called fallen nobleman. My father worked as an interior affairs officer for a long time, but without any merit, he was downgraded to assistant officer... and since he lost my brother's eldest son to a disease... he has already decided to be crushed by his father's generation."

"Is that so?" We have no idea what the aristocratic society is like... but after all, the destruction of the house has been decided? "

"Yes, there is no one who wants to be a son-in-law in such a decaying house... and Ruamat's readiness to take his name was hardened when he lost his brother." That's why I wasn't supposed to be able to marry the Marquis. ”

“Isn't it even more true that Wellhead was inspired by your personality rather than your family's?”

"Yes... that's why I couldn't believe such luck."

With a tearful smile, Corfea said so.

"Lord Wellhead's father was a knight class junior nobleman. That's why you said that you wouldn't stick to your family ties... but your father had great commercial skills regardless of his family ties. Because it was such a masterpiece, I was allowed to marry the Marquis's sister-in-law. But... I don't have that kind of talent."

"... even at the wedding ceremony on the edge of the forest, the name of the family is greatly reduced. It's also very important to know how much work they can do.”

Having said that, Sphila-Zaza smiled suddenly.

"But more than that, I believe that personality is what counts..."

"Yes... but I'm not as good as that personality." In fact, I've caused you all a lot of inconvenience from your shallowness..... "

“There is no such thing as a good or bad personality. The ideal personality for one person is not necessarily the same for another. Perhaps your personality was ideal for Wellhead.”

"... it's quite difficult to believe in such good fortune."

"I know how you feel." I was also... when Reillys revealed the truth, I was dazzled. "

With a soft smile, Sphila-Zaza narrowed her eyes to see something far away.

"Still, we weren't allowed to celebrate the wedding. Consider that you are extremely fortunate to be allowed to hold a wedding, Corfir."

"Yes... because Sphila = Zaza-sama is a man who has overcome so much sadness... her words will shake my chest more than ever."

The tears in Corfea's eyes dripped down her white cheeks.

"Compared to the sadness of Sphila = Zaza, how tiny was my anguish that was not enough... Thank you very much, Sphila = Zaza." You've exposed your heart so much to someone like me who has no connection with you... thanks to that, I've been saved. "

"I am not only helping Asta, but I am also invited as a guest of the feast. That means I've been out to congratulate you and Wellheid on their wedding. If so, it's only natural that we do our best for the wedding.”

Thank you, Sphila-Zaza-sama is the goddess Eila for me.

Korfia pinched her skirt and broke her knee, and took Sphila-Zaza's hand and stuck it there.

"I will give you my thanks until the day I return my soul. Forgive me for continuing to pray for your happiness in the banana, Sfira-Zaza."

"... I'm honored by your words, Corfea"

As Sphera-Zaza returned her smile, Coffia also smiled in tears.

After getting up, his eyes were finally turned towards Reina = Lou.

Lady Reina-Lou. Again, I would like to reiterate my apologies to you. I was never convinced that you were a desperate person... but if you were as charming as Mr. Wellheid, everyone would be drawn to you like I am... I was obsessed with such delusions. "

“Yes, I don't feel bad for Wellheid, and I believe Wellheid does.”

"Yes.... I believe that I will come to the wedding."

A few drops of tears dripped on the floor as Corfea hung her head again.

Korfia finally wipes her tears with a woven cloth and looks around at the rest of her face.

"Now, if you'll excuse me." I'd like to say hello again after the wedding...... Asta, about the banquet food, thank you very much. "

“Yes, I'll take care of that.”

Corfeia smiled loudly and left the room.

Reina-Lou took a deep breath and then turned toward Sphila-Zaza.

"Today, Sphila = Zaza left me to it." I'm sorry, Sphila = Zaza. "

"That's why you don't apologize." If Korfia's distress has cleared up, that's fine. ”

When Sphila-Zaza gently returned her words, Reina-Ru became like a child.

”Um... Sphila = Zaza is really younger than me, isn't she?”

"Huh? I don't know your age." I will soon be 18 years old. "

Then again, I seem to be an older man.

Reina-Lew, who dropped her shoulders, was about 150 centimeters tall, and Sphila-Zaza was more than 15 centimeters taller than that. Well, there were many tall people in the northern village, and it was also clear that Reina-Lou was not shy about her appearance.

“You seem so dependable to Asta and Tour-Din to do your job. Is it that you and I have different qualities? I don't think there's anything to be discouraged about.”

Sfila-Zaza replied in that way, but it was the sedentary and rational narrative that would make Reina-Lou suffer.

Then, Ziza-Lou, who was silently watching her, placed her hand on her sister's shoulder.

"There are many things to learn about Sphila-Zaza." That being said, you certainly have your own unique qualities. If you don't see it, you'll fail like Korfir. "

"Hmm. Reina = Luu is the one who has gathered a lot of envy around the forest." It's a terrible thing to humiliate yourself. "

At last, Ei = Fa was on the encouraging side. It was a very unusual composition for Reina-Lew, who was becoming more reliant on her friendship with each passing year.

But I feel the same way as Ai = Fa and Ziza = Luu. With that in mind, I decided to laugh at Reina = Lou.

"Well then, let's get back to work." We need to create an exceptional Gibba and celebrate Wellheid and Coffia's wedding. It's the only job we can do. "

Reina = Lou nodded "Yes", looking somewhat illuminated.

We agreed to do our utmost to create the best banquet dishes for the rest of our lives.
