Chapter 10 - Garden Party to Celebrate the Enthronement[]

It happened in the first week of Ansuul, Hagar the day of Freya

In order to attend the garden party, the nized Tristain nobles turned their caravans and head towards Versailles

Heading towards the territory of Gallia, the main caravan of Tristain finally arrived at the docks of the port city of An-Re

The view of the all vessels, which belong to all nations of Halkeginia stationed in the port of this giant lake, was truly admirable

Once ashore, the main caravan of Queen Henrietta went ”Varsenda” froon Unfortunately, at the time they were about to leave, the harsh suress

Then they decided to take a break in a place after crossing the bridge of La-Vaare However, if they were to meet with the ambassadors of Gallia on ti thecohout the surrounding area that were ones without houses, people now crushed as if a festival was happening

The first thing to consider that tiement of Queen Henrietta’s tent

So the pages and so straw bales fro houses, which were used to construct a couch

Soon, so baskets of fresh bread and fruit to the members of the caravan Even some vendors were able to provide wine After acould be heard everywhere

Aood supply of wine and snacks, which give the coroup of the queen, it seeh to want the ‘enjoyment‘ provided by this small town

Besides, it was fair to all those present, both noble and soldiers, to be allowed a little fun, after the constant battle they had to fight recently

Even so, within the happy commotion had arisen, a face that did not appear anywhere in the festival can be seen

“Haa……………”

It was Saito

Over the course of teeks, he was devoted to a frantic search for Louise, however after his arrival at the first provincial town, the traces of the whereabouts of Louise disappeared

No matter where he look, no ns of Louise anywhere So as expected, because of the growing anxiety on the part of parents and sisters of Louise, they, theanized a search party That was the information he had obtained from the letter sent by Cattleya

Saito had planned toso far, however:

”Due to the circureat inconvenience if ht now to refrain fro La Vallière” Saito read the letter

Ultimately, Saito was convinced to leave the search to theations This is the reason why Saito at this time was one of the members of the caravan ambassadors

He had no choice, he had to fulfill his duty as part of the bureau of negotiations, including the part he was to Louise

Butafter unsuccessfully searching her relentlessly for teeks Saito, do you really think you'll be able to ain?

While he was lost in these thoughts, Saito had walked away from his official duties

The crestfallen and heartbroken Saito decided to leave the caravan to a place where he could be alone Then with a stick he picked up off the floor he began to sting the earth

I cannot be with Louise

When thinking about this, it seees to continue with his life Nothing mattered Not the fact that he let the people who attacked hi in the world seemed real, he came to believe that what he saith his eyes was seen only as a spectator as in front of the TV

Tapping the earth once again and Saito suddenly found hiure of Louise on earth

His grief, desperation and pathos gathered everyone in a sad vieas Saito now

”Peach hair, oh-so pretty, lit-tle girl, who took you away”

As Saito sang his version of a kindergarten nursery rhy to see it well and did not knohat he had draas Louise or an alien

When Saito came to these conditions, Siesta, without fail, always appeared and try to encourage hi with Professor Colbert had decided to stay if Louise finally returned to Des Ornières

“But why put on an ugly face? Now do not worry, just drink!”

Malicorne had come to say this, only to put a bottle of wine in Saito’s mouth

“Gu Fuh gugugugugugugu!”

Malicorne didn't stop until the wine bottle was empty, then detached it from the mouth of Saito with a ”PPAH”

“What do you think you're doing?”

“Really, that face you were ive up”

“B, but that would be ”

“If I will tell you in the clearest way possible, she does not want to see you anynificance of her actions?”

Due to shock Saito dropped to his knees on the floor while a sudden tremor came from his body

Then Guiche and others who could not pass unnoticed by their actions, promptly withdrew Malicorne from Saito’s side

“Oh, hey, that's wrong, and let o!”

“But you're saying”

Then Malicorne addressed them with an emphatic scream and said:

“You see, it has to be now, do not you think this is a critical time to see if Saito may or may not become a man? You know, a man must accept a separation and approach it as an aspect of hirow as a person Nohat this guy needs is to face reality” After saying this Malicorne could not stop assenting himself, as if what he had said was the absolute truth

“Certainly much of your impromptu speech is true, but…” This was added by Kirche, as very overwhelmed by her desire to return to see her friend Tabitha, also appeared on the scene accompanied by Tiffania

“This is very problematic” Tiffania said Malicorne shook his head

Then with a gentle gaze he began to approach her Tiffania reacted iainst her chest, as a precaution to what she kneas co

“Miss Westwood, actually ”

In the instant Malicorne said that, Tiffania instinctively shook his head

“No!”

“But I did not say anything”

“No s' are rare”

At this rate, Malicorne the only thing could do was to show a smile full of sadness on his face

“Ahh I give upI guess that's what I get for doing what I always do, but sincebut this ti serious”

After this strange apology, Tiffania could not help but give it a try

“Well, you mean”

“Well,Did you not please Saito, with those big breasts?”

With an unpleasant feeling, they heard these words arise froly eloquent Malicorne, his tone nevertheless actually showed off that he said it was for the sake of his friend His serene face only further helped convince others of his pure intentions, but in the end, everyone was frustrated by his lack of tact, saying the worst possible words

“As I thought, you see, when one is depressed you otta be huge, if you think there can not be any better And indeed, those breastswe have the owner of those breasts, after all I do not think there is anyone more qualified than you Miss Westwood”

As expected to happened, Tiffania see and started waving her wand, but despite this Malicorne did not stop his words

“Magic? You're thinking of using it? You used that to help Saito before, right? Then use that to help Saito now! Seriously just do it for the good of Saito!”

“Ei” After reciting a little spell, Tiffania waved her hand

“I'm a chicken! Pío, pio, pio, pio”

Then Malicorne left the area while shaking his ars

After what happened, Tiffania glanced toward Saito and then approached him

What she found was a disabled Saitohireat sadness

“Saito do not worry, I assure you fully that Louise will coize to her properly, do you understand?

“Really? Really she'll coain?”

Tiffania nodded sweetly to that question

“Do not worry, Louise really likes to return to do her job, I guarantee you that she will return home ”

Tiffania kept saying this over and over again to comfort Saito

In her tent, Queen Henrietta was preparing to hear the report of Agnes, which only a allop

“You finally arrived” Henrietta said who let out a sigh

The report was about the discovered inforroup that attacked Saito in the village Cherphis, then Agnes continued relating the research findings

However, the information obtained after the completion of the research process was still incomplete

“We are sure to inspect in details the entire area where the village is located, Cherphis butstill we could not find a trace of the criations carried out simultaneously to the nobles that you suspect or have a-dono yet ”

Then to see the difficulty in Agnes to describe the situation ords, Henrietta deduced the reason for his distress

“Too ht?”

“It's just as you say, the main reason seee but apart fro h he was popular with the ed position”

Therefore, apart frouably everyone can have a reason to attack, if I et anywhere from research only

Then Henrietta had no other choice but to assent to the conclusion of Agnes, and then thought to hiiven the title of Baron

“But we also have soations ultinificant trail”

“Please say what you have learned”

“It's the naroup that dominates the underworld, is the result dom”

“The underworld?”

“Yes, apparently a group specializing in dirty jobs, so to the army of Gallia, as the name ? oh yeah they are the members of the Order of Chevalier of North Partel, as reported in Tristain, they overnment after abruptly raised by Gallia”

The North Chevalier Partel, the secret order of knights of Gallia, Henrietta was also aware of the ruence, entleentleman would not do

“This so called ”group” right?”

“Yes, the 'Eleroup”

Then Henrietta recalled the words of Saito, when the woman who attacked him called ”onii-sama” to her partner

“If I'm pretty sure they are”

“In fact, by various rudohosts, they never let their prey escape, and alsothey are known for never having failed in one of their missions”

“But Saito-dono returned alive They only get him knocked out ”

“I do not knohy, but it may be the case that their mission was only to intimidate”

“If that was the reason, he was lucky, but…”

“But the next tiood”

Then with a mortified expression on her face Henrietta shook her head

“Perhaps we could offer a reward, giving citizens a proive us help with the case”

“That's an interesting idea however, it is likely that the whole thing ht end up in chaos”

As iht nohen I think I should marry an influential nobleman to have their support How can I even be able to protect one of hts?!

Even knoas the cause, Henrietta could not help but feel disappointed to Louise, who had just disappeared leaving her duty, and now she was really needed

“Oh I envy it, to live only for love!”

“What are you trying to say?”

“NoIt's nothing”

“Please, I wish you were more considerate and to think in , at least I would like to try comfort you a little, in these times when you really need it ”

The caravan had finally arrived at Versailles Thesaid that, the truth was that they only prepared the rooms for Queen Henrietta and a few uards, that includes the knights and soldiers, they have been assigned only on the field where they installed hospedasen tents

”As of tomorroill be a busy day due to the celebration, so please take the tie that the euest house Then they exited the lobby to continue their activities

After talking to Agnes and the ladies of the court, Henrietta was left alone in her rooarden party

But thethe true intentions of the new Queen Charlotte Queen Charlotte who had decided to join forces with RoCould it be that her cooperation with Romalia, was because they wanted to continue the crusade? Precisely that was the matter Henrietta wanted to confirm

Even knowing they were at critical do jealousy, and someone out there had even hired aabout it without consideration for others fled to disappear completely

“Everyone is so selfish Is there no one who feels a real desire to help others?”

Henrietta then suht at least to take a ith hi to hi with the Queen of Gallia and also she had to deal with the issue of the group that attacked him All this was imperative to notify

But thehim was

”I want to see him”

She just wanted to be with him and see his face, she had raised a number of reasons, but in the end her desire to meet him hat drove her actions

Henrietta then rang a bell to call one of her servants

“At thisa little ride then, I must also discuss official a-dono of Ondine Brigade”

In just a ht Saito in the presence of the queen

Then with a face as if experiencing an extreth Saito said:

“You called me?”

“Yes, I’ll take a walk, and I command you to be my escort”

Then Saito fully recovered his coive the queen a respectful reverence Due to the sudden seriousness of Saito, Henrietta could not help but feel little weird for her actions

All the way from her room to the exit in the lobby, Henrietta showed her face like a queen of exens of familiarity with her escort Saito, as always a step behind her

But at that very uest house of Versailles see place, everywhere eminent nobles were dressed in theirwith the a their casual talks

As the queen passed by, those nobles noticing her presence, recovered their composure and made a boever, as if they were just air, Henrietta walked past the them because this was not an official event and she did not look for an obligation to greet thenore them only for practical reasons, she did not seem to dislike their attitude

When you stopped and saw her, Henrietta was seen as a et those ere around her, her Majesty’s presence was enough for them, and by her side Saito did not seehtest interest for Queen Henrietta

Then Saito thought could it be possible the Henrietta that he had seen that time in that little innand also at that time in the basement of Des Ornières, be the same person?

Outside the guest house, the day seeht, but they found the large amount of people out there, which was con nations, surpassed by far the fuss found before them

Then Henrietta decided to hide behind the hood of her robe

The Palace of Versailles was broad, alh which they passed en route to here

In their walk they ca shrubs, which by its composition resembled a maze, the shrubs of the place were filled with summer blue flowers, which they did not know the name

So without a second thought Henrietta set out to explore it, entering the labyrinth

In their trek through the maze they found a small bench, Henrietta sat down and removed her hood

With the flowers' essence coid presence of Henrietta vanished Then with an air like a young villager, she stretched her body before heading to Saito

“You should also sit down,” said Henrietta with a melodious voice

Saito then sat down beside her

“I did not want anyone to hear us”

Hearing this, Henrietta felt a bit of excitement

“No, actually this isn't anything of such importance,” she said

Then Saito nodded to her in a crude form

Lately, this was the condition in which they developed the ree, to break the tension, the first to say so was Henrietta

“It will be tomorrowhow should I explain itabout Queen Charlotte I wonder what are her true intentions, I want to find out what are the circumstances that are still involved with Romalia”

“Yes”

Saito's voice which sounded as if it cae

“Alsothe infors who attacked you, apparently they are known as the ”Ele froerous ”

“They really are“ Saito said without showing any sign of strength
