“What does this have to do with flowers?”
When I asked a question filled with embarrassment, Klaus laughed.
“The Cisena Duke family was using poison to revive corpses and developing a new medicine to resist the poison. Both medicines require large quantities of fully bloomed gelana flower petals. Gelana trees were planted in large quantities in the imperial capital. “It wouldn’t have been that difficult to get the petals.”
“……Until I make a wish for the flowers to fall…….”
“okay.”
… … Hey, isn’t this too coincidental? Anyway, I think putting it all together like this is a bit harsh, right?
“Well, don’t look at me like, ‘Does this make sense?’ If you were going to find fault with that in the first place, you should have found fault with the young lady’s possession of this world.”
“No, that’s true, but… Still, this development relies too much on chance!”
“Young lady, reality is actually more dramatic than fiction. Don’t you know?”
No, that line just now feels like something we shouldn’t use right now… … .
“…Anyway, thanks to the accident I caused, the Flower Festival disappeared, but the operation to transform corpses into soldiers was also postponed.”
“that’s right.”
“Is this okay to be relieved? Well, isn’t there a cure for violet medicine?”
“If something happens, the lady can make a wish.”
“……majesty.”
Are you still saying things like that while hanging out with me?
I saw what happened every time I made a wish… … !
“It’s a joke, a joke. Don’t be angry, young lady.”
Klaus smiled and waved his hand.
“The test reagent that the factory said was made around last year exists in small quantities. Fortunately, we were able to safely extract it. Although it is an incomplete drug.”
“when?”
I thought I was sticking around with Klaus, wasn’t I?
Well, since he is a prince, hidden henchmen may have stolen it.
“Rinoa Sisena gave it to me.”
What is this again?
“Ah… roughly speaking, Princess Rinoa… was tired of the family’s oppressive atmosphere in which only male heirs were treated, and thought that their immoral actions were very wrong, so she stood up against the dukedom and was a powerful person who seemed to be able to judge this matter morally. “It turns out that your role is to inform His Majesty Yin, and you are on our side?”
“I want to find fault, but you’re accurate.”
Klaus applauded.
“majesty.”
“why?”
… … Could this not be a novel? It’s a very novelistic development.
I was about to say that, but I held back. I think it would be rude to say this to someone who lives in this world.
Instead, I asked a second curious question.
“Rinoa Cicena is a trustworthy person, right?”
“You don’t know that.”
“yes?”
What is this irresponsible statement?
“I don’t know. Rinoa Cissena may have lied to me, or she may have thought the situation would not be good and gave it to her without knowing, or she may have been truly disillusioned with that family.”
“then…….”
“The important thing is that thanks to the city tax and evidence of the family, we can search the house today.”
Klaus said that and smiled coolly. Just then, a cool breeze blew and ruffled his black hair.
“And this is also thanks to the young lady, because I also checked the points she pointed out last time.”
“Which one?”
“The part about whether the Cisse or Duke family will be safe when that poison is used.”
ah. Now that I think about it, I definitely asked that question.
“That ghost is the 13th Duke of Cisena, and there was a rumor that he was stupid.”
“It was actually stupid.”
“Yes. Still, it seems like the retainers were smart and disposed of the poison. They probably didn’t want to become part of the pile of corpses for no reason.”
Klaus’ red eyes flashed.
“And it looks like Duke Hyundai Cissena wasn’t that stupid and didn’t plan on just using that poison.”
“is it so?”
but. The fact that the Duke of one family did not think of something that I could point out is a situation that calls into question the intelligence of the entire worldview.
“Yes. Recently, I saw a strange group of merchants coming and going preparing for the Flower Festival Salon, so I investigated separately. They were purchasing gablon ore and oak wood in large quantities.”
“You saw something like that? You weren’t walking around with me?”
“Did I see you when I was walking around with you?”
“……Is that so?”
I just look at the ordinary duke family, and when someone asks in an emergency, I say, ‘Oh, we’re enjoying our secret time…’ … All I remember is repeating ‘!’
“Well, there was no need for the lady to see it in the first place. I didn’t even expect to see it.”
“I have eyes too, right?”
“The young lady should only look at me.”
“Eck.”
“There’s a handsome guy like me standing next to you, but you’re looking at someone else?”
Where does this endless confidence in this face come from?
‘Yes, it must be coming from the face…’ … .’
I get angry when I hear a comment, but when I see his face, I understand. I have an honest heart, but I am so honest that it makes me a little sad… … .
“And it’s my job to see this. It’s enough for you to just follow me happily.”
“……Let’s do something like that.”
He must have survived because he finished well.
Klaus smiled coolly when he saw me. The curved eyes resembled his and were refreshing.
“Anyway, there is an armor called ‘Shield of Protection’ made from gablon ore and oak wood.”
“armor?”
“For your information, it doesn’t contain iron. However, it looks more like iron than iron, so it’s called iron armor.”
“…Oh, that sounds like useful information to me.”
“This is what makes it useful. The armor of protection is armor made using magic, but it protects against all physical toxic substances. Even though it is armor made using magic, it is not very effective, so it is not commonly used….”
“Can it be useful in this case?”
“answer.”
Klaus clapped his hands.
“And as soon as the soldiers were sent in, the Duke’s house was sealed off. So there’s no need to worry about even the slightest possibility.”
“Yes. I wasn’t that worried.”
“I’m glad if that’s the case. I don’t want the young lady to worry.”
This guy keeps making comments that confuse people.
I looked up at Klaus and met his smiling, kind eyes.
Why do you have such a warm expression again?
‘I know you’re not thinking anything.’
Embarrassed, I lowered my head and gave a cursory answer.
“I trust you too… I was just asking because I was curious.”
“Do you trust me, my lady?”
“Don’t say such ominous lines.”
eww. I feel like my cheeks are getting hot.
Klaus laughed lowly. A large, warm hand gently stroked my hair. I was strangely conscious of the fingertips coming through my hair.
no. Is there anything strange about it?
In Geumsappa’s life, all these events are a complaint for ‘my heart fluttering’… … .
“Stop stroking me. The back of my head is getting worn out.”
As I took a few steps forward, Klaus looked back and forth between his hands and my head.
why? Are you sad? The grip felt good, I guess they’re just trying to say something like that!
“Let’s go see some more festivals. I saw people gathering in the vacant lot earlier, so I want to go.”
“Oh, folk dance festival?”
“Is that a folk dance festival?”
Instead of answering my question, Klaus held my hand. Before I could be surprised, Klaus took my mask down and grabbed my hand.
“Let’s go, young lady.”
“No, I’m not planning on doing folk dance or anything like that… Ouch!”
Suddenly, I went to an empty lot where a folk dance festival was being prepared, and my eyes widened when I saw people wearing colorful costumes and masks.
Wow, there are so many people… … .
“Hey. I just wanted to come here because I was curious because there were so many people here. I didn’t plan on dancing…?”
“If you’re interested in the folk dance festival, you should take the steps.”
“No. Even if you don’t give me that kind of consideration….”
At this point, I must confess that I am not confident in dancing.
Of course, I’m really looking forward to the prom, but if I had to say it, I’m just looking forward to the fancy dress I’ll wear and Klaus to be my partner, not the fact that I’ll be dancing.
However, unfortunately, while Eoyeongbuyeong was wrangling, the host held a magic microphone and spoke.
“Ah, ah! Everyone who came to the folk dance festival on the first day of the Flower Festival! Everyone is welcome. Today, I am the host… Since my mask is a fairy mask, I will call myself the fairy of the dance festival!”
When the fairy mask host, the self-proclaimed dance festival fairy, took the microphone, cheers erupted.
Soon, a man wearing a princess mask wearing a flower crown and a woman wearing a knight mask wearing a crown joined hands with me.
“Let’s first look at a demonstration of the folk dance we will be performing together at today’s event!”
And I became distant.
difficult! Of course, it’s easier than dancing at a ball, but it’s not something you can learn just by seeing it once!
As I followed along with a pale face, Klaus whispered.
“There’s no need to try so hard. Anyway, I didn’t expect to learn right away just by seeing it once.”
“Everyone else looks familiar.”
“I got used to it because we do the same dance every year when we come here. This is your first time, right?”
Yes, but… … .
So anyway, doesn’t that mean I’m the only one who can’t dance right now?
“Now, after dancing up to this point, everyone can join hands and spin around. Then, at the point where the music starts again, you can change partners and start anew!”
“Waaah!”
“There may be people leaving or coming in midway, so we ask everyone to keep order and give them a little space!”
After the host’s announcement, people began to line up to perform folk dance.
It was very noisy as everyone was trying to get everyone to connect at once.
Just before the music started, I whispered to Klaus, who was standing in front of me.
“I might step on that toe a lot.”
“Then I can step on it too, so don’t worry too much about it.”
“…Thank you so much.”
I’m a fool for expecting anything from this person… … .
done.
Anyway, they said there will be a next partner, so I’ll have to look forward to dancing with another partner.
