1026 Nostalgic Princess Nostalgic,

Once upon a time, there lived a beautiful princess.

"Oh, Cedric. You're here too."

While saying so, Pride laughed at Cedric, who had bowled in front of the library door.

It was Tiara's break, and Cedric entered the library just as he was about to leave, even though it was Pride who was visiting the library with the two maids and the guards.

He has several books held by Jack the Guard, and one for each of his sisters.

As soon as I checked Cedric, the tiara was smaller behind Pride and hid.Pyu, I laughed pride at Tiara who would stop and pull in like a small animal that was also a natural enemy.

Tiara couldn't prepare herself for the surprise.And so is Cedric.

"Ah, ahh... I didn't expect to see you here.... today is a good day. "

Cedric's eyes are nailed behind pride as his face burns with a reunion with the lovely Tiara.

Tiara, hiding behind her sister, blushes her white skin and shakes her shoulders in a shameful dialogue without saying anything.Her cheeks were swollen and her face looked angry, and she leaned behind her sister.

As his pulse finally subsided, Cedric next greeted Pride's guards and maids.Cedric, who now lives in the same castle as the postmaster, still remembers the courtesy to them, the pride and kingdom of Freesia.

After I finished greeting him frequently, I noticed the book that pride held there.

"... what is that?Don't see it for the first time. "

With the cover on his eyes, Cedric gently twisted his neck.

With absolute memory, he had already spent a huge number of books in the libraries of the Kingdom of Freesia, but the books Pride now had were ones he had never seen before.The fact that I borrowed it from the library gives me an interesting gaze at what I haven't learned yet.

In Cedric's line of sight, Pride laughed slightly strangely before he could see the cover from holding the book.

"A picture book from the Kingdom of Freesia.When I was talking to Tiara about how much I miss her, I wanted to read it. "

"... let me tell you, I may not know King Cedric's brother!"

In the words of Pride, Tiara now shrugs her courage to Cedric, who opens her eyes.

I rubbed up the sound of the bell and walked a little over my sister's back.Cedric's face collapsed slightly with joy that Tiara had spoken for the first time.It was interesting to say, but I slightly shifted my focus to the book and presented the book that also had pride.

Originally as a picture book with a small number of pages, Cedric carefully received it and quickly read it while enjoying the parallax and the details of each illustration.Once in sight, it can be read in retrospect, but now I want to tell them what I think.

Cedric, who had finished reading both of the books without a minute's notice, returned the previously closed book to Pride."I see," he said, lodging a pleasant smile in his eyes.

"I thought it was for children, but it's quite interesting.I've never read a picture book, but not only the story, but the paintings are beautiful and detailed. "

"? I didn't read it when I was a kid."

It was good that he liked it, always memorizing difficult books, but in an unexpected word, Pride leaned his neck.

She knows Cedric's game settings, but she doesn't even know her childhood history.

Pride and Cedric exchanged, and Tiara looked small and like a mole.It's never a story that interests her either.

For a moment, Cedric shook his head "No" to Pride, while his heart shouted loudly at Tiara for half her face.Even in the United Kingdom of Hanazu, where the country had been closed in recent years, there was a picture book culture, but Cedric had never read it.

"Nineteen books describing stories have been read, but none of them seem very child-friendly."

Only then did Cedric's masculine face flatter him.

While narrowing her eyebrows, her head alternates between the contents of a book that was clearly memorized at the time and the lowly faces of adults.But as soon as Pride and Tiara were in front of the corner, the bad memories were wiped out.

Instead, I remember the picture book I just read.

"The picture book is far preferred.Especially the closure of "I live happily" warms my chest.Besides, this protagonist and prince are only alike in heart. "

To whom, with a clear soft smile, Cedric named the princess and prince he knew.

Pride, who had doubts about what kind of books Cedric had been reading as a child until now, also missed the words.Thanks, and I hug the book again without denying or affirming it.But in the middle, I felt two fevers and looked back.It can be seen that all but half of Tiara's face, which had been hidden on her back until now, was boiled in bright red.

Cedric's eyes turned round when he shouted without thinking of Tiara.Tiara, with her thin eyebrows pointing toward the center of her face, was stiffened with an angry expression squeezing her lips.

I squeezed the book I had so hard that it left a mark on my skin that I couldn't find words.I didn't think Cedric would tell me the same feelings I had as a child.

If this is Arthur or someone else, "I'm with you!"but not Cedric.

"~ ~...... shh, excuse me ~ I'll wait in onee-sama's room first ~"

Tiara runs her thin feet under the dress, unable to stand it and leaves her face feeling thin.

While Pride was in a hurry to escape Tiara, he followed her and left with his own maid and guards.I'm sorry, but if Pride apologized on behalf of my sister, Cedric's shoulders would have fallen naturally.

I meant to be honest with myself, but I'm depressed that I said something that upset her."No, I must have done something wrong," Pride said, convincing only in his chest after slightly lifting his gaze.

I don't think Cedric made any mistakes, but at least I know he felt something similar to Tiara when he was a child.I wondered if it must have made Tiara angry with Cedric only, but the two grooves that felt like walking at the corner made her want to drop her shoulders deep.Until then, I have a strong desire to support Cedric's one-sided thoughts, even if it doesn't work.

"Pride, if you don't mind, can you tell me another story Tiara likes?It doesn't matter if it's a picture book. "

"? Yeah, yeah, I don't mind...What are you going to do? "

I blinked my eyes at the sudden request.If you don't mind teaching, Pride knows as many books as Tiara likes.As is the case with the book she has been carrying, Tiara, a knowledgeable reader, is reading various books.Even if I can only think of it now, this library holds many books that Tiara likes.

Cedric also turned his head this time to the pure question of pride.

"If you like a woman you like, why should you want to know?

"... yes"

Too pure an answer, Pride felt twitchy and his face hot.

I can't even look at Cedric in front of me, but I can only give him a word back.For a moment, I was worried if I should really teach Cedric the book.At the end, I think I will tell Tiara what I think of the hundred manuscript forms.

After daring to extract about five books that Tiara liked, Cedric, who memorized them once, left the library in a good mood, thanking him.

She looked up her back with a slap of her hand and followed Tiara.When she turned around feeling the heat from outside of herself, Arthur, the Kintetsu Knight behind her, had a slight redness on her cheek.

Behind that, Lotte, the maid of honor, also glanced next to Marie, clasped her face with both hands.The romantic relationship between the princess and the prince in front of her was a royal drama that could be seen precisely because she was a royal maid.

When Pride laughed small enough to realize that Cedric's face was not the only one to get hot in the straight line, he slowly stepped into the room.

Only Marie and Eric glanced at each other with a smile as Jack the Guard tied his silent mouth even stronger.

When I went back to my room, Tiara was back in her sister's room early, but she was a little smaller on a big sofa.

I apologize for opening my mouth to Pride earlier, but from my sister's point of view, it is always the case.

It's okay, Cedric's not angry either, but I wish I could get along with him a little more in my heart.If you still think that Cedric is the only one who is still angry with Tiara and sits in the middle, your eyebrows will fall.But I didn't feel like saying anything to Tiara, who already had a lot of reflection, and instead I chose words so that I could reclaim her feelings.

"I hope you like the picture book.I want to read it to Stella next time. "

"Yes!"

Tiara's golden eyes twinkled in the words of her gentle sister.

When I remembered my upcoming pleasure, my depressed chest jumped out in agony and shame.While grasping the picture book placed on his lap, he looked at the picture book with pride and the picture book that Jack stood on the table one by one.

Stella, Gilbert's daughter.She is three years old and her parents have read many pictorial books at the Mansion, but this was a library visit to get her to read the two princesses' favorite pictorial books.However, it is neither Pride nor Tiara, let alone the Butlers, who let Stella read the picture book.

"I've read Sefek and Chemet several times, so I'm sure I can read them well."

That's how Tiara plays her voice with joy.

Tiara had been reading pictures and studying with two people to thank Val's knife-throwing teacher for over three years, but now they wanted to read them to Stella.

It was not so much a regular visit to the Gilbert Mansion, but it was now like a sister to the two of them who visited Stella from time to time.Especially Sefek was keen to take care of him.And this time, it was Cefek who talked to Tiara about asking her to lend me a picture book for that.

Looking forward to it, I spread the picture books we had piled up on the table.I was going to ask Chemetto to pick me up when I came by delivery after this, but I wanted to lend you everything just because I felt like it.After reading it, Stella will return it over the gill veil, but the boulders are all in the way as luggage.In the worst case scenario, they could have imagined that Val's baggage would be added separately from the delivery.

The sisters flourish in nostalgic memories as they ask if they have read any books to Arthur and Eric.

Then, immediately after the knock, a voice was heard from the other side of the door.Another of their brothers appears from a door that was opened immediately after Pride's reply.

"How was it, did you find a good picture book?"

At Stale's visit, given a break, the smiling sister showed him a picture book arranged on the table.

They line up with Stale, who looks at the cover that she just remembers.Every picture book I read with Tiara and the others as a child.

When memories of the time appeared one by one, nature and face collapsed.When the most memorable picture book came to her attention, Tiara immediately noticed and peered into her brother's face.

"Niisama misses you, too.This picture book is the most special, so I would definitely recommend it to Sefek and the others. "

Fufu, with a playful smile, I rubbed my fingers on a picture book where Stale's gaze was nailed.

As soon as that happened, Stale, who had the meaning of "special" for a moment, retorted his mouth reflectively.While my cheeks were dyed slightly, Pride said, "Special?"he threw. Tiara grabbed the picture book with her cheerful voice and hugged it with both hands so that they could see it.

"This is the first picture book I've read with oniisama and onee-sama!I still remember it!

Tiara dazzled her eyes with a smile full of cheeks and happiness.

It was one of her unforgettable memories that the two of them warmly welcomed themselves to a new life and a busy little heart who was still familiar with her brother and sister.

Even though he was the youngest of his siblings, Pride and Stale laughed at each other with their eyes open when they remembered properly.Just like Tiara, they both remember the day as a matter of course.

Following the pride of returning it to me, Stale said calmly, "Naturally."Tiara sparkled with a pleasant smile, suppressing her desire to jump on the spot.Instead, he turned to the Kintetsu Knights to dance around.

"Have you two ever read it?Arthur and Eric opened their eyelids strongly and looked back.

"No, that's what I'm like...."

"I only remember the cover.My neighbor's kids used to read it.It was very popular, and it must be a good story. "

Instead of Arthur shaking his neck, Eric made a move on his memory.

Arthur, who had never read a picture book for a girl since he was a child, was all about knights, even if he bought it.Besides, I was more obsessed with listening to my father than with picture books from the middle of the day, so I don't have many memories in picture books.Even if the children of the shop customer read it, they didn't stop caring at all.

And Eric, who has only male brothers, is the same about the picture books Tiara puts up.But sometimes he looked after his younger brothers, and he remembers that a girl in the neighborhood liked such pictures.

Tiara nodded happily at Eric's words, and this time jumped small to be popular with children under the castle.I can't help but be happy that the children under the castle are reading my favorite picture book.

With a smile and a smile returning to Eric, Arthur slightly shifted his position and threw a gaze at his partner.

"When did you read that with me?

"... well..."

It is a picture book for girls from the cover, but Arthur would be satisfied if he said that he had read it with his sisters.

But it was a little surprising to Arthur that by the time I met him, Stale, who was already reading all the small and difficult books, was also reading picture books.In response to a query from his partner, Stale held the black edge of his glasses with his fingers and his eyes were small and distracted.

I know I can't hide it from Arthur even if I do.Still, when I remembered reading the picture book at the time, my ears were slightly feverish.Saying memories of the time here is painful in many ways.But, uh...

"You liked Stale when he was a kid."

"Noooo! That's it...."

Fufu, my shoulders rose and fell to a pride that slightly overflowed with smiling memories.

With that in mind, I asked you not to say anything more, but now I'm going to look pale.How much I loved the picture book at the time... when I remembered that I had read it back with concern, I still had the feeling of a fire coming out of my face.When I was a commoner, I had never read a picture book, but I still completely memorized it.

Tiara also smiled at her brother's appearance, recalling what happened then.I remember my sister's kindness and my brother's cuteness at that time, but now I dared to tie my lips to Arthur and the others.

What is that? And when Pride twisted his neck, Stale rushed underwater to find an excuse.I don't want to lie here to hurt both of you by mistake, saying, "I can't help it for Tiara." "I'm not really interested."I finally found an excuse to turn my head and squeeze it out because I liked the picture book at the time...

"... as a child, the 'witch' appearing on it resembled Gilbert.The scene of the witch being divided into two by the prince was refreshing. "

Niisama! And immediately afterwards, Tiara's angry voice was screamed.

Tiara was angry when she fished up her thin eyebrows, but against her will, Stale exhaled to avoid being noticed with a misguided relief.

Ahahah... I can't say that pride is overflowing with a dull smile, but I do recall that from that time on, Stale was extremely hostile to the witch.I compared my angry sister to my angry brother thinking that I liked the scene more than anything else.

Arthur said, "Prime Minister Gilbert is a man," and made another correction in the other direction, but Stale cut short to say otherwise.I thought reading the picture book would tell Arthur what it meant to know about Gilbert's misdeeds at the time, but I don't want to make it clear until Tiara and Eric are here.

With denial, Arthur poured his pale gaze straight into Stale's face, trying to deceive him.When I noticed Stale, he turned his back to grab Arthur's face with his widened hand and said, "Don't look."It is in itself a reply to Arthur.

"Don't cry, princess.I'm sure I'll be back here in seven years.As proof of that, I will send you this oath.

"I still like that picture book.It's the first book I've ever liked with Tiara and Stale. "

Swelling her cheeks, Pride tries to get a picture book impression from herself at least with her troubled eyebrows hanging from her sister and her younger brother, who are all away from her face.

From that time on, Stale and Tiara naturally relaxed their shoulders to the words of Pride, their sister's "favorite" sister.

"Me too," Tiara said, jumping to pride, showing the other arranged pictures to the Kintetsu Knights.

Have you seen any other picture books?Tiara-led picturebook discussions continued until Val and the others arrived.
