"Cedric... don't worry about that, but we have prepared suitable products for both Sarsis and Chinensis from Japan."You need to focus on your studies. "
But...! "I'm devoured by your words.
Three days after completing the defensive battle celebration in the Kingdom of Freesia and returning home with a ten-day gamble.The fatigue of the long journey was relieved, and after my brother and brother returned to their duties as king, I also returned to study as a royal family.
I've covered everything about manners and education for the celebration, but there's still a lot to learn.Because he had abandoned all academic knowledge required as a royalty for many years.
I take classes from multiple teachers at once and fill them, but there is no time to waste.In order to become a human worthy of being the king's younger brother, to become a man with a chest full of pride...... to find a way to fulfill Tiara's wishes in any way.
I want a way for her, the Second Princess, to remain in Freesia in a way that is acceptable to everyone, without jeopardizing her position of pride.I need to learn to figure out how to do that.Even now, it's time to learn from the teachers we've collected.But now we should have made preparations for another major holiday.For now, my brother is allowed to attend, but that's not enough.... because...
Snap!! With both hands, I let my brother's work desk resound, and my face was so close that my noses approached each other.If we don't give in here, I'll bring you a death wish.
"[There's only one month left until that [pride] birthday?!"
Only thirty-eight days left until the birthday of the Pride that saved our country from the invasion of the Rajiya Empire.
The birthday of a pride that saved my brother, persuaded him, once saved the United Kingdom of Hanazoo, ready to destroy my alliance and defeat, and saved me from many disrespectful crimes, is almost here.
I have sent you a sign of gratitude for your defense and proof of your alliance, but that is not enough.He is a great benefactor to my brother and brother, and to the United Kingdom of Hanazoo, and a god to me.I can't help but feel at ease that she is less than a thousand hours away from the celebratory day that she was born and has existed in this world.
My country was until recently a completely closed country.The anemone kingdoms that have been trading in recent years have never participated in each other's ceremonies because they do not even have exchanges with each other's countries other than Sarsis and Chinensis.It was the first time for me and my brothers to attend a ceremony in another country.
As your brother said, we have prepared a gift for the birth of Pride.However, I could not stop thinking about whether it was good to be a country with so much pride.
Aniki frowned with difficulty at the voice that stretched my throat.You seem to understand what I'm saying.
I stopped turning the paperwork, and my brother, who was in arms, said, "But that's it..." again.When you open the drawer, you'll give me another document that's different from the one you saw earlier.It was too close to be seen at first, but it was a list of gifts to give to the Birthday Festival of Sarsis and Chinensis' Pride.Apart from the gold and gemstones that they regularly send, they both choose treasures that are considered to be superior at one time, and entrust the processing to the castle's direct craftsmen.
"Neither in my country, nor in Joan, has he shed his hand in celebration of the Princess Pride.If you want to buy more than this, you'll need to discuss it not only with Cirsis, but also with Chinensis. "
"I'm not thinking about letting my brothers loose!"But I'm just saying, as a nation, you can't just end the gift!I personally would like to prepare something to celebrate with gratitude! "
"Does that mean you want to discuss a personal gift?"
That's right, when I finally shouted to my brother who got the rules, he said, "Get away from me, you idiot!" He bit me in the face and forced me to pull my arm apart.
Haa, sighing heavily, he stuck his cheek stick on the desk with his wrinkles between his brows."If you want to give it to me personally, I won't stop you..." I said for ten seconds, looking at me with a heavy voice.Now, if you keep waiting for the reply from your brother who seems to be thinking about it, you will slowly open your mouth.
"... if so, tell me what you are considering as a candidate to try."
Apparently, I was curious to get a consultation.
With a slightly shy expression, I'll try to say the best I can to my brother who prompts me with a plan first.Even though I originally said it because I can't think of it, I verbally arrange the gifts that I have given in the past, the gifts that women are happy with, and the gifts that teachers have learned from women as long as I can remember.
As far as flower bouquets, dresses and shoes for dancing, dresses for parties, sweet sweets with confectioners on their arms, strips and furs, ornamental products, rare creatures, furs, and ornaments are known, I continued to raise various types of applications from hair ornaments to toes, and when I raised the ring, one of the typical ornaments, it was painted on my brother's words holding my head "It's good.""Don't give the ring to Princess Pride twice," I understand that I have already dedicated it to Pride.If I wanted to give it to you, I would ask if it was good that it was something I had never sent before, and I was told, "Maybe it is the same thing that is the problem."
"I'll go first, but don't give me the wrong ring or earrings."You should at least take care of the things you wear. "
"? But for women, decorations are basic.What about dresses, shoes, etc., if the rings and piercings don't work?A golden thread with more weight on the arms of the craftsmen of the Sarsis ".
"I wonder if you really fell in love with the Second Princess of Tiara."
Tiara.
As soon as I was suddenly called by her name, a vivid image of her appeared in my memory, and my fever suddenly rose.
The beautiful dress at the celebration was taken away from her eyes for a moment, and she didn't even listen to her heartbeat.
Thanks to my pride, I was able to speak for a short time, and I was able to convey my intentions again.Even the look on my face when I was angry was adorable, and I thought I couldn't even talk like this. I was just happy to hear you point your words from my lips.I was told "I hate you", but I know that from the moment I fell in love with her.I thought she was lovely because she was like that.
But after that, I was prepared to tell her not to talk to me again.
Damn... that word... please fix it quickly!!
In other words, if I only re-worded it, I could talk again. If I thought so, my mouth wouldn't stop loosening because of my sense of happiness.
With the fever, one word comes back as vividly as if it was happening in front of her.I noticed that I was obsessed with memory and didn't see my brother in front of me until I was called "Cedric".
Relying on your voice, I turned my awareness to the real world, and there were the same burning eyes that looked at me with a tired face.Even if you remove your eyes from your memory, your face still fever and palpitations will not go away.
My brother, who is accustomed to my reaction, points out, "I'm telling you to stop."But it's impossible for me to remember everything.Especially when it comes to Tiara, once you remember, you don't want to stop thinking.Because I have vivid memories, I want to see her every day, even if it's still good.I'm sorry because this time, my brother inadvertently mumbled Tiara's name.
While I realized that I was a little stunned, I looked back and looked at the clock and noticed that more than a minute had passed.In order to return to the story in a hurry, I write up my forehead and return the words to the previous question.
"It's bad for my brother to ask what he deserves.Why is there a story about Tiara?The next birthday festival will be a pride. "
“I know that.Anyway, you can only give those gifts to Princess Tiara. "
But it's pride, isn't it??
"You're telling me to only give something like that to someone I fell in love with, you idiot."
Today alone, I was called a fool twice, and I tilted my neck.
I was advised to give my own weight to telling my brother how I felt before.That's why, as I was told at the celebration, Tiara only gave her weight by telling her that my thoughts hadn't changed.Originally, it was not enough to recite a hundred poems of love at that place, but I also wanted to avoid being "lightly seen" by Tiara, as my brother said.
I swear my thoughts aren't light, but I can't stand it if Tiara misunderstands them.In other words, do you want to tell your brother, who is also a person other than Tiara, to weigh himself?
However, even if it is not to convey a one-sided love affair, it would be basic for a man to give a woman something to decorate herself with.And the opponent was a one-of-a-kind being, Pride.Even as a woman, I think it's natural to give her something worthy of her honor and pride.
If the clothes you wear are no good, will they be decorative items that will colour the room?Let them hunt animals that are not available in the Kingdom of Freesia.When I thought about whether to strip it or use it as a fur, my brother cut me off when I thought that my coat would be better than a carpet.
"This is the end of my advice..."If you want to leave it to the craftsman, please check with me and then ask for it.After studying till the afternoon, go to Joan. "
In order to take the procedures to your brother's chinensis, I want you to tell the messenger now. He immediately summoned a squire outside the room.
Certainly, some candidates were narrowed down, but only existing ones came to mind.I agreed to leave the room while thinking about whether my brother would give me more specific advice.
I can't think of anything, so I think I just pressed it on my brother, but I want to ask him for his opinions.Now that we have a top priority schedule, we have to finish the tasks we've been working on.
I hung a word on my big brother who was holding my head and let him close the door.Apart from what a woman wears, it is a product worthy of pride.I walked into my room, thinking about what she deserved.
……
"I agree with Lance."
Troubled from behind the thin glasses, my brother said so in the exchange between my brother and me that he spoke without a word.
After finishing my studies, I took a carriage to the castle of the Chinensis Kingdom, and my brother, who had received news from the messenger, immediately invited me to his room.
It seemed that the letter from my brother had written something else about my troubling gift to pride, and the first voice of the brother who greeted me was, "Did you embarrass Lance again?"I couldn't help but explain the conversation I had with my brother before that I just consulted him about the gift of pride.
I have no objection to the fact that my brother agrees with his opinion.However, when she asked what was pleasing to the woman, other than what she wore, her brother tilted his neck in embarrassment.
"Cedric wants to give a gift to Princess Pride as a person, right?"Purely thanks and congratulations to the Princess Pride. "
"Yes, but if a woman is happy, she will still wear it."Now that your brother has sealed it up, I want to prepare something that I can give to my pride as a brother of the king. "
“Yeah, I think that's a very good idea.I think that Princess Pride would be the person who would be most pleased with her feelings, and I don't think Cedric needs to be so worried....... but let's choose something that doesn't even have a horn for Princess Tiara. "
"Horns, horns, horns. Why?"
"You like the Second Princess of Tiara, don't you?"
I dare you to say something similar to the conversation I just told you.
Even though I dare to give the same response to my brother, my memories of Tiara and I are going around my head.If you check your feelings twice a day, you will shake away the tiara in your memory desperately thinking that you are playing with both of you.Loosen your fingers around your chest and wipe your forehead to get the fever that was starting to rise.In response to my reaction, my brother giggled.
"It's good to think about it like the gift you give me and Lance every year without stretching your nose.If you're bothered, why don't you think about what's right for Princess Pride? ”
Sure is.
Thinking that Rikishi is my brother, I put my arms together.Every year, I only give birthday gifts to my only brother and brother.Pride is a woman, but it's certainly easier to find it with your feelings.
But when I think... this is difficult.As a royal family, I had most of the things I wanted, and I was happy with anything that was given to me by my brother or my brother.The only thing I can't get right now and want out of my throat is a way to fulfill Tiara's wishes.
And pride is a royalty, just like me.Moreover, if you become the first princess of the great power of Freesia, you will get a wider range of things than I do.That's why I was bothered to buy something suitable for her, but... I'm glad...
............ No, I can only think of Tiara now.
I scratched my head between my eyebrows.Then my brother, who held the cup in his hand, added his advice again.
"When you went to the Kingdom of Freesia, you were sent to the palace where Princess Pride lived and to the room, right?"Do you remember anything in your memory that she seemed to like? "
You remember Cedric, don't you?And I roar at my brother, who points to my memory.
I've been invited as a guest to the Palace of Pride and to her room.The second time I got to the room, I made a sudden visit on my own....... When I learned from the teacher that suddenly questioning a woman's room was a violation of courtesy, I held my head and couldn't move.After that, I even tried to take her lips off.
If you recall the memory of that time, the decoration of the room and palace that was clearly captured with shame is reflected in your brain.
Beautiful Pride, Your Royal Highness.Would you mind spending a little time with me?
First, from the corridor to the hallway of the palace, there are seasonal flowers in vases.It was the same as the flowers that bloomed in the garden, so it must have been there.There were many varieties, I didn't even know, and there were many flowers I didn't even remember seeing.
Hobby ceiling paintings were painted everywhere, and the walls were decorated with pictures of the royal family.There are paintings of the current royal family in the corridor by age, and they were also decorated with historical items.In the palace where Pride lived, there was more to Pride than the current top level.The figure of the current queen holding the pride that would have been a baby, the king's match, and the pride that remained even at a young age.Tiara and Prince Steyl were only seen from the picture of him when he was about five years old.
The liberating windows, the chandelier with the craftsmanship of the artisans, and the candles and lamps that illuminate the footsteps even at night following the long corridor were all elaborate. The stone flowing is the great power Freesia.
What do you mean, you're going home all of a sudden?
In the pride room, there are two tables for guests, each with four chairs, two kinds of sofas, two books in the spacious desk, three bundles of letters, pens, ink, and toilet paper.The fireplace was lit, the pictures were painted, the books on the bookshelves were arranged in order of subject, and the books with different shapes of decorations were arranged at the top, regardless of the type.The vase is decorated with garden flowers that do not overlap any of the corridors, and the walls are also decorated with multiple kinds of dry flowers, a feminine clock, a full-length mirror on the makeup cabinet, a wagon that the maid would have prepared, tea pots and cups, baked goods, and......
I hate you the most in the world, and I'll be on your side.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Instead, her brain was burned with shame along with memories in her room.
When I notice it, I hold my head and bow down to the table in front of my brother.It gets hot from my head to the fingers I hold as if steam were standing there.It's an eternal mystery why Pride really did so much to me by burning my hands with such foolishness.
In front of the lady, and crying in the private room, I don't think I was often knocked out there.Even if I remember now, my reflection on my purple eyes was pathetic.
Cedric? I can feel your fingers poking at me, but I'm still stuck.When I try to remember the interior of the room, I also remember the foolishness of pride.I desperately pushed my memories and clues to Pride's gift into my mind.
"Anyway...... it was a very luxurious castle.The pride room was stunning too... "
Only natural feelings appear around too much heat.
My brother struck me softly with two words, but perhaps he knew why I was squatting.However, in fact, the castle of the Kingdom of Freesia...... even the palace of Wang Ji, Pride, was truly extravagant.I wonder if there is anything that I can give personally to her who has all the luxuries of that kind.
Her room itself was free of self-explanatory fragments, but it was no exaggeration to say that she had it all.Was what I wanted to give her personally a mistake in itself?I'm going to break my heart because I was beaten in my brain by my own foolishness and reproach from pride.
She certainly gets something I'm happy about.I grabbed the cloth that was hanging over her neck when it was so important that she couldn't even get it.However, if it is something to wear, I can't imitate the gift that your brother gave me.Above all, this is a religious symbol of Chinensis, and at the same time, it's between me and my brothers ─...!
"...... there was......"
The consciousness became fixed and opened in front of me.
Suddenly, as I raised my head, my brother rolled up his golden eyes.Did you come up with that? I asked my brother, and now I feel confident in my voice.If I can give it to you, this is it.
"Thank you, brother. I'm sorry, excuse me."I need to get permission from my brother right now and get it from the craftsman and the dimensions in time... "
"W-what are you going to do, Cedric?"It would be nice if you could tell me before asking Lance..... "
Just like your brother, I'll make sure you know what I'm giving you, and I'll turn my back on you.
Speaking of the gift of pride I just came up with, my brother put his eyes on the plate.I said that I was confident that it would be made perfectly, and when I showed it, my mouth remained open without any force.As if there was something wrong with this, I waited for your reaction and three seconds later your mouth slowly spread a smile.
"You've thought of something very exaggerated again... Cedric"
But I think it's good. And so, my brother, who seemed to be enjoying himself a little bit, offered to cooperate with Chinensis if there was anything he could do.
Thanking you, I rushed out of the room this time.I ran the carriage and hurried back to the Carsis Kingdom where my brother and the craftsmen were.
I was looking forward to giving it to my pride, and I jumped in the carriage with a different spirit than when I was on my way.
…………
"Oh, so... Cedric, this is for me...?"
The day before the eighteenth birthday.
The arrival of Cedrics in a carriage from the United Kingdom of Hanazoo took place as the sun went down.
There was no Stale during the Regent's assistant work, but if I came out to greet him alone, Tiara would also say, "If you're going...".
Even though he still feels like he's hiding behind me, he said goodbye to King Lance and King Joan in front of me.Cedric didn't behave like he did last time, Tiara was a king and a woman, and at least I think it was a safe and secure greeting before the celebration.
After greeting each other, Cedric was late tonight and was about to show them to the royal palace tomorrow in preparation.
It seems that you have prepared a gift for my birthday tomorrow, not only as a country, but also personally.If I am told that I will be busy tomorrow, I cannot refuse that sincerity.After carrying all the luggage from the palace I was staying at, Cedric came to us sooner than expected, waiting for Cedric to bring only my belongings to our palace.King Lance and King Joan took care of everything and sent me to Cedric.
Even though all the other luggage was supposed to be left behind, Cedric, who came with his wagon in a carriage, dived into the doorway while having his two guards carry a large object.
From that size, I and Tiara were stunned, as were Arthur and Vice Captain Erik, who were holding back from the Kingsguard.It was bigger than the two physically fit guards, and I predicted to some extent what the shape would be, but now I had a bad feeling in the other direction and my shoulders were tightened.No, I don't think Cedric would have done that before, but...
It's rude to pull a donkey from the front, but he looks back at Cedric while suppressing his twitching face with expression muscles that are trained in the social world.If it's from Cedric, King Lance and King Joan should be fine! I tell myself that.
...... "Yes," Cedric said, still rudely stirring up anxiety.
"Oniisan and oniisan told me it was a big deal, but..."
It's really, really okay.
Cedric is worried about me on your side.Last time, even though Tiara had just solved a few misunderstandings, she shouted in her heart that she should not imitate anything that would lower her liking here.
I'm honestly glad about the personal gift from Cedric.We had a terrible first impression of each other, but I'm glad Cedric wanted to give it to us.... and because I'm happy with my feelings, I think I'm having trouble with the placement in various ways depending on what I've received.
Please, so I ask if it is okay to remove the packaging while remembering that it is out of anticipation.I stand in front of a huge gift with Tiara clinging to my arm, thanking Cedric for his pleasure.I ordered the maids and guards to remove the cloth that was wrapped politely, and I... drank my breath.
"... forehead, edge...?"
Huge, framed.
A container for decorating and highlighting paintings.With the cloth removed, it was decorated with golden carvings, which would be of the Circassian kingdom, and magnificent ornaments, even gems, which would surely be of Chainensis.
There are few things in my castle that are so luxurious, framed in gold and jewels.Not only is it luxurious, but the sculptures and shapes that feel neat and elegant are just perfect for decorating pictures.The frames, which were taller than the guards, were close to the paintings that the court painter had to paint.
Too much beauty and splendor are taken away in proportion to their size.The words did not come out immediately after being checked after being rolled up.Tiara's arms came down and covered her mouth with both hands.The golden eyes are curly and round.Behind them, Arthur and Lieutenant Eric leaked their admiration.
"There were many figures and paintings in the Palace of Pride, but I was able to match the size of the paintings with the highest proportion.Speaking of greed, I'd be glad if you could match the picture of my sister and brother (today) who was decorated in your room, but you can use it as you please. "
He also sized it for me.
Somehow, I suddenly let my words go up to my throat, but I closed my mouth consciously.
In front of Cedric, who puts his arms together with a cool smile, his game settings pass faster.If he has absolute memory, he will remember the size of the picture he saw at first sight, not a single millimeter different.You can imagine a craftsman using an abstract explanation method that says, "From here to here," without asking how to specify the perfect size.
Moreover, he has the greatest number of frames in my palace, and it is his care that matches the size of the paintings of the three sisters.
If you think that you can decorate that picture, which is important to me, with this, you will feel uncomfortable when your chest is excited.Good, it's not Cedric's self-portrait or anything like that.
Even though I knew it was different now, I thought of him as my ex-narcissist prince, but it just passed me by in this shape.Tiara was totally drawn to the project of pressing her self-portrait.
But in fact, he gave me such a wonderful gift.I wanted to apologize for thinking rudely until a few minutes ago, and inadvertently felt embarrassment in my brow.
"... you didn't like it...?"
"No, that's not true!! It's so lovely!"
It seems that it has been misunderstood by the face that is difficult to follow.
Cedric's glittering eyes just now turned to me like a puppy to confirm my complexion.I can't say I thought it was a self-portrait.I don't like it, but I'm enjoying decorating it from now on.
After surprisingly jumping from body to body, I rushed to deny it by waving my hands."Really...?" Cedric, who was still worried, said, "Really!”I raised my voice with all my strength, then took a deep breath and regulated my breathing.
"... really, really. I've never seen such a nice frame before."Thank you so much, I'll let you use it for that painting right away. "
Without the strength of my shoulders, I naturally lost my smile.
It's a dream to be able to decorate a picture with important people on such a nice frame.I'm happy to bequeath it to you in just a few moments.
On the happy evidence, I stroke the frames gently so as not to leave any oil on my hands.There are gold sculptures in every detail, and rarely a gemstone so large as to be invisible is shining bright red.It is so beautiful to me.
It seemed that my feelings had been conveyed correctly this time, and Cedric stroked his chest as if he was reassured that it was "good".Immediately after receiving a relaxed smile, Tiara, who had been staring at the frames for a while, retreated to my back.
"It would be great if you could come back and see it once you've finished decorating it."In that case, please come with me. "
"Oh, my brothers were also happy to cooperate."...... I sincerely hope that you will stay together for a long time to come. "
Cedric smiled gently as he shook the back of his eyes.
I think he's the reason Cedric chose this for his words.I cherish the two of you, and it's a gift that's more like him than anything.
I want to use it as a luxurious picture of all the royalty decorated in the palace, but it is a gift from Cedric to me, and I want to decorate the room.
Thank you so much, and I'll thank you again as I hold my chest.Before my birthday, when I told them I had such a wonderful item, they said, "I'll have it ready every year if you don't mind."If you designate a painting, Cedric will laugh that it's really a stone's throw to compensate for the lack of inching madness.I think I'll ask the servants to make it in time for tomorrow morning.
I'm sure you'll feel great all day if you're greeted by such lovely forehead paintings on your birthday morning.
I was looking forward to welcoming tomorrow morning as soon as I could with an unexpectedly lovely gift from Cedric.
…………
…………
Good night. After saying hello, the princess, who had dived into her bed in her room, fell asleep with her eyes open.
The frames Cedric gave her sister.I think it was a really nice thing with my own eyes.To be too nice, I was willing to help not only the maids and servants but also the guards in time for tomorrow morning.
Before going to bed, I saw the painting in my sister's room being carried away once to redecorate.The pictures of myself, my sister and my brother were my favorite pictures.I can't help but think that it will be decorated with such a sparkling and lovely forehead.
─ "I wonder how long you'll be able to decorate the painting I put in..."
I miss you.
If you are a kind sister, I think you will still decorate it after you leave the country.However, I also know that as a royal family, it will be difficult for me to decorate the existence of my sisters forever.
Even the paintings of royalty in the royal palace and corridors are only one of the royal collective paintings of siblings other than the queen.When you leave the country, the paintings that are left behind, one by one, disappear into the shadows of history.Even that favorite painting will one day be harder to decorate in a room of pride.I felt my chest tightened when I thought that I might someday be able to see a picture of my pride's family on that frame.I don't think I'd throw away a painting with such a nice forehead, even if it can't be decorated.
I sincerely hope that you will stay together forever.
I'm glad of his feelings. However, at the same time, I wanted to cry a little at that moment due to the fact that it could not be fulfilled.
He loves his brother so much that he can stay with his brother and sister as long as he wants.
It's like a dream.... there's no way.
