"Um... can I ask you a question?" Andrew...... "
With the rattling and the carriage shaking, I hide my voice without meaning under a vortex of tension that is incomparable to when I go.
Being seen off by Chancellor Gilbert and swayed by the carriage, I no longer dress up as a princess. The maid of Chancellor Jilbert also helped me, and now that I've changed into common clothes after age control, I'm perfectly "Jeanne". Unlike before, he looked just like the young man in front of him.
Even though the clothes and hairstyle are familiar to the common people, the tight posture and the gaze looking at me is definitely the royal uncle Vest.
Captain Alan and Captain Kallam, who were riding with him, seemed pretty nervous right now. Me, Sail, and Tiara might have gotten used to it among the royals, but Uncle Vest couldn't help but be nervous about the flowing rocks. Even though he hesitated to make a breathing sound, it was probably only Uncle Vest who was natural.
Uncle Wester slightly raised his eyebrows as he asked me a few rounded shoulders in this low tension.
"Just [Andrew]. I don't think it's necessary, but by the time you get there, you'll have to fix your unnecessary attitude, Jeanne. The Kingsguard Knights also treated me as a [commoner] in public. I forbid your salutations and titles."
Haha, immediately after that, the two Kingsguard's tense voices overlapped.
Today alone, I don't know how many times I've apologized to them in my head. At least while squeezing my mouth so that I don't pull my legs, I repeat the name "Andrew" in my head.
If I inadvertently called Uncle Vest in public, I would definitely get angry. I'm still better than everyone else. Because they were supposed to be knights and elders, and they were called Andrews, and they had no salutations.
I think Uncle Vest, who was already around fifteen years old and full of majesty and domination, is quite prepared.
Inch-second silence flowed, and my uncle West urged me to "tell me."
Just after the encounter, what I was about to say inadvertently flew away for a moment, and I rushed to my memory.
”Um... if I can talk to Thomas... then I'll talk to him”
“We'll wait in the carriage. Be punctual. I'll borrow one of the Knights Guard, so you'll have to find someone worthy of your company."
Uncle West, who perfectly accepted my intentions, had his hair straightened out for a moment... and stopped. I can't divide the hair into seventy-three now. Maybe I'm a little unfamiliar with the messy hairstyle. The clothes are much ruffier than usual, and I can't help feeling uncomfortable.
To say "appropriate", when I looked at the two of them naturally, Captain Column raised his hand to ask them to say "this is the place".
If I say so with approval, it is better to be accompanied by Captain Alan, who is a relative of Jeanne.
Yeah, surely that's more natural.
Captain Alan didn't make any noise, but I found his chest quietly sagging. I felt relieved that Captain Column had taken on the situation of being alone with Uncle West.
I also know how nervous it is to be alone with Uncle Vest.
Perhaps Uncle West could have imagined it, but once he nodded, he closed his eyes quietly until he arrived. It wasn't a nap, but it seemed to be simply focused.
Uncle Vest's blue gaze was just cut off, and I felt that the thinness of the air in the carriage had rested somewhat, but I felt rude.
As usual, the curtains remain blocked off from the outside view, but they wrap around small again with the feeling of stealing.
I thought there was still a lot of time to get to the destination, but I confirmed that it was already in the evening. Either way, you won't be able to stay long. I think we should at least make it to dinner, but I'll give up the other half.... if that's the case, I wonder if I can excuse the reason for going out to Stale or Tiara.
In the silence of hitting the water, I will silently think about the rest now.
To be honest, I have a lot of questions for Uncle Vest. Why is the name Andrew, why has he ever moved down to the castle to ask for the cooperation of Prime Minister Gilbert, how Mother and Father are familiar with this figure, how they used to be able to use their special abilities in the Mansion... and so on.
However, even though it is a cause called "self-responsibility", I was also alarmed to blame my uncle who is working for Mr. Thomas.
For now, I would like to thank you for your cooperation and for your generosity. Besides, I can't fully rejoice yet, but I'm honored to have taught you this secret. I'm honestly glad.
Then, as it gradually darkened, looking at the gap between the windows, which was only visible to the reflectors, I buried my thoughts into the rest of the matter.
Even if you're already looking, it's getting dark outside and you don't know where you are. For a while, I was shaken by the carriage, and...... the vibration grew stronger on the unpaved road. Proof that the destination is approaching.
As usual, the two threads tensed, and after a while, the carriage began to slow down.
After receiving a signal from the guru, if the door was opened, it would be a bumpy night.
"If Thomas wants, bring him to this carriage."
That's what Uncle Vest says. He stays in the carriage.
As soon as the door opened, Uncle West, who had been baptized by the smell of livestock, covered his nose and mouth with his sleeves and covered his face. Even my uncle, who was always calm and calm, didn't seem to like the smell.
I don't feel that harder than the first time, thanks to the second time. It might be because there was little wind. Is the livestock resting too? It's pretty quiet now.
I was awed, and I bowed my head after Captain Alan who had descended first.
I turned to my uncle and the remaining Column Captain with the intention of asking for their kind attention.
"Please watch your step." I think it's hard to see. "
Captain Alan, who helps me get off the carriage, is more nervous than usual.
While thanking me, I land softly on the dark ground. I wanted to get out and close the door for Uncle West.
As I was told, my knees hung from the ground, which was deeper than I expected. Thanks to Captain Alan's gently gripped hand and his opposite hand to support my back before I took a spin, I was safe.
I immediately heard the sound of the door closing behind Patan, and I think Captain Column closed it early.
"Are you okay? Can you walk?"
"It's okay.... but I wonder if I can borrow your help." After that, you can probably walk normally. ”
It's not just heels, it's better now. I think it's been a long time since I walked this far in the dark, but I'm going to help Captain Alan lead through the dark scaffolding.
There was a light in the carriage, but I still can't get used to my eyes. However, thanks to Captain Alan's firm support, I was able to move forward without any difficulty.
I raised my face from the anxious foot to the front, and I could see the glare and the light. It's the light of the house.
I don't see anything in the position where the livestock hut was, so I think I've finished my work now. I feel nostalgic for the feeling that the light of the house approaches every step of the way.
"If you're here, can I call Mr. Thomas?" If there's no problem, I'll talk to him. ”
"Yes, thank you..."
