Eight years ago, a beautiful and thorny young lady called Blue Rose was blooming like a round of flowers.
"Miss Emilia, please dance with me tonight."
"No, with me!
"You promised me before!?
Emilia Arbelline, Miss Borderline. Seventeen years after she debuted in the social world, she learned that she was called the Blue Rose, and was dictated by many nobles ─ ─ it was troublesome.
My father, who is tasked with protecting the northern border of the kingdom, is a very strong man, more like a bear than a nobleman. It looked like a beautiful mother was always fighting with her father every day, and the two brothers were also running around with her father and mother.
A long-awaited girl was born there. Emilia, who had been beautiful since she was a child like her mother, was adored as a butterfly and a flower, and grew up without knowing how to fight. Instead, she was taught manners, music, and upbringing, and Emilia, who had always hated losing, absorbed them all.
The result is that the land north of the vast country is cold and white. The beautiful and tight body is also the result of secretly learning and practicing self-defense. That girly puffiness must have eaten the meat of the animals my brothers hunt. I grew up as the ideal noble lady everyone painted, but the nature of it is still that the environment makes it. But for the first time in about six months, the kingdom's social circle, which came with my brothers on behalf of my parents, will never leave Emilia alone.
"Have you made any promises? That's right... I'm going to dance with you who spoke to me first. Let's hear it again in the next song."
A noble son lowers his head as if it were natural. I think the man who promised was the second son of the Marquis, but for Emilia, there was no difference. I am not interested in men who are deceived by their appearance.
"It's an honor to dance with you. Here you go, Princess."
Well, thank you.
Though she didn't think that the impaired dialogues suited her plain face, Emilia lay her hands on the hand she was offered with a smile. I like exercise. That's why I don't hate dancing. ─ ─ Only if the other party's lead is not bad.
"Miss Emilia, I want to know more about you...."
It's good to try to have a conversation, but please stop staring straight at us. It's hard to keep a man's steps from stepping on his feet and dress. Will this song not be finished soon? Then let's pick someone who looks better at dancing next.
"Why do you want to know about me?
"I've never met anyone as beautiful as you! A gorgeous smile on your face ─ ─ I want you"
"I'm sorry... I'm used to that sort of thing. Please come back."
The song ends. She raised her lips so that she looked glorious and thanked her with a sticky smile. The man is looking at Emilia with a gloomy face. As soon as he turned his back, young men gathered in front of him again. When she tried to get close to the edge without waking up, the young ladies gathered around Emilia.
"Dear Emilia, I was looking forward to hearing that you're here today!
"Well, Miss Cassie. You're as cute as ever."
Me too, Onee-sama!
It seems that it is hard for a man to get close to the jazzy atmosphere. I gently guided the girls to the edge of the venue.
"Fufu, are you being a good boy?
"Of course!
The polite girl answered cheerfully and looked at Emilia and dyed her cheeks.
"If I had such beautiful flowers to myself at the club, I'd be hated."
Nothing. Emilia is nobody's sister. Some of the gatherings are older than Emilia. But isn't that the problem? In fact, Emilia likes to fight cute ladies too. Your voice starts to shudder. Aren't they more gorgeous than Emilia, called the Blue Rose?
"Gilbert, you look bored today."
"Your Highness must be bored."
Matthias sighed small at the edge of the royal seat. Gilbert is the wedded son of the Marquis of Forster. Mathias got along with Gilbert at a public school. Mathias has already graduated, but Gilbert is in school. I would definitely like to have my side work after graduation, but now it is enough to leave it as a friend.
"─ ─ That's right. I'm bored now. It's okay, Gilbert loved it even with the most beautiful flowers."
"His Highness says that again. I'm fine. It's a disciplinary matter."
There are as many young and beautiful marquises as there are ladies who want to breathe. It has special magic powers, but now only some people know about it. You can choose as many dancing partners as you like. But for Mathias, it was valuable to have a friend on his side who was bored.
Well ─ ─ it's boring.
"Shouldn't His Highness be dancing with someone?
Prince Wang, who is nineteen years old and has no fiancée yet, is more prominent to young ladies than Gilbert. If chosen, she will be the queen of the future. There were a lot of nobles trying to sell their daughters to Mathias from the first greeting, and Mathias himself had a good look. How many young women dye their cheeks?
"─ ─ It's troublesome."
"That said, I've been worried about your gaze for a while now."
"I think there's something in that line of sight for you."
"That's troublesome."
Mathias laughs softly at Gilbert's brief answer.
"Nevertheless, I'm getting tired of just watching here. It's time for something ─ ─"
Looking at the venue and wondering if it might be interesting, Mathias found a strange place. There are young ladies gathered there, shouting a gorgeous yellow voice. That itself is a sight to see. But not only that, but the crowds of nobles around are looking envious of the gathering. I wondered if the man in the center was so good-looking ─ ─ I was surprised by the central person who peered from the gap between people and looked at him.
"─ ─ Ah, Miss Arbelline Border."
Unlike Matthias, who was surprised, Gilbert said naturally that he followed his gaze. Matthias pulled out a few moments ago that he should have come to say hello.
"You must be Miss Emilia. But this is... amazing."
There's no doubt I thought you were a beautiful lady. Her position as a frontier master would also be one of her attractions. However, there was so much enthusiasm around it that I couldn't explain.
"It would be more surprising if His Highness hadn't cared before. It's called" The Blue Rose Man, "and it seems to be held by young people as a flower in the social world."
I'm familiar with it.
It's unusual for Gilbert not to associate with others than Mathias. Looking at her, Gilbert sighed a little.
"There are a lot of young people in public schools."
That would mean that such rumors would soon come through. Mathias nodded convincingly and looked back. It seems that some son split into the adhesive space. Emilia leaves the venue with the girls' voiceful criticism. Are you going to go to the makeup repair or to the break room? Mathias was impressed that his arm was quite good, including when he left. Raise your hips from your chair while you see what you can't miss.
"─ ─ Gilbert, I'm leaving my seat for a moment."
"I understand."
Gilbert said slightly out of his mouth. Mathias left the venue as quickly as he could get used to the surroundings.
Mathias saw it. After Emilia left the venue, three men followed her. There are guards, but there are blind spots in the royal castle. It's pathetic in case something happens.
Then, a few turns down the corner of the hallway, near the entrance to the edge of the garden ─ ─ Mathias saw the impact.
