5 Episode 5: The Dukes Quartet Interview (Part II) (2/2)
”Lord Grants, play”
”This is what happens when there's blood on your head. It's a problem in a different way from the usual problem children. Besides, it's bad to be competent at this state......! How could you...! It's not balanced!?”
”Ha-ha-ha! So I don't like it, because once this happens, it comes to my heart! Oh, no! I'm going to pull the cage now! I'm going to pull the cage for a year!? I'll let you do whatever you want until a troublesome project arrives, please budget me!
Anisphere, who had returned like a child as soon as possible, only this time summoned in a sloppy and disoriented manner. He is opening his legs, keeping his body firmly behind his back and covering his face with both hands.
”Because I've hit the whip. You have to give me candy.”
”Yufi, don't worry. Princess Anisphere has to be too much. Aha. However, once the blades are gone, they become useless. Remember this one well.”
”Ha ha...?
”And what you ask for is a budget. Normally, I don't want new dresses, I don't want jewelry. From a historical princess's point of view, don't you think it's a lot cheaper? Orphans.”
”My hardship is the most wielded princess of all time!... I'm nice to nostalgia though. I hope he cares about the rest of his stomach and spirit a little bit more. Ooh!?”
”Now I've rattled my daughter's spirit. Will Father say!?”
”In normal retribution, fool!
Uphilia draws her mouth to the dispute between the king and the princess who began the twitching of the combination.
”Princess Anisphere. Isn't there too much greed for just a budget on a boulder?
Grants asks the royal parents and children who were grabbing each other's cheeks and stretching them out with their usual pale voices. Anisphere shakes her neck left and right as she faces back at Grants, stopping the effort.
”Lord Grants, the country's budget is the blood of the people. That should be the moisture of the country. It should not be used more than necessary.”
”If so, why don't you ask for something other than a budget?
”Other than the budget? Uh, materials or something? But you can hunt for yourself...”
When they say something other than the budget, Anisphere takes it into account. It is Anisphere's idea to collect more or less what you need yourself.
There is nothing in particular for the country, he said. I want you to spare me the restoration of the right to inherit the throne if you can, Anisphere thinks. I didn't say it because I don't think it would come true.
”Sometimes, is that rumor true?
”Rumors?”
”Homosexuality is with the object of love”
”Uh. No, I don't know. Women are better off if they do love or devote themselves. Men don't have a sense of rejection if they're about friends. Do you say that you have goosebumps dating as a heterosexual person? It's physiologically impossible. So do you really want to avoid touching people who might be concerned...”
”It's a whole headache story...”
Anisphere elucidates at random and suppresses the head Orphans felt headache.
Having heard Anisphere's response, Grants strokes his jaw as he envisioned, narrowing his eyes.
”Hmm. I see... Right, we're in a hurry. I was wondering if it would be a good policy to fulfill my request if I came up with anything.”
”That would help. Father, is that all right?
”I don't mind.... I'm sorry, Anis. I understand that's all you really hate.”
”... I resent you, Al! Uh, no! Please don't let disaster befall me!!”
Ufiria softly suppresses her eyes as she becomes distracted by the rare sight of royal parents and children holding their heads in alignment.
”Is it okay that Uffi also works under Princess Anisphere on the study of magic?
”Huh? Oh, yes. Recently, I touched on one end of Princess Anisphere's research and was interested.”
”Princess Anisphere also said she wouldn't go on the surface stage if nothing happened for a year. For now, take care of her with the meaning of quiet rest.”
”Yes, thank you for your concern”
Ufiria smiles from the bottom of her heart and conveys her words of thanks to her father. Grants nodded small again as he loosened his eyes to the appearance of Uphilia.
At the end of the sight, Ufiria and Grants were swayed by carriages to return to the Duke's house.
I talked to my father. The next time I have to talk to my mother, I think of my mother, who had always cared about me, and Uphilia loosens her mouth. I always put my heart into it, in that I am the same as Princess Anisphere.
”... Ufi. Listen.”
”Yes? What is it, Father”
”What do you think of Princess Anisphere? I don't mind answering frankly. Whatever the criticism, I promise I'll keep it to my chest.”
”... if you choose words, I thought you were unique. But I don't think he's a bad guy. I don't know if you're in trouble, but...”
”Do you think you can do what you like? You won't be able to hang out with him long enough in a relationship where you can't.”
”That's, yeah. I have a slightly unique sensibility, but I had no allies. Give me your hand without reason. I'd be lying if I said I don't remember the danger...”
It wasn't until yesterday that Uphilia strengthened her connection to Anisphere. Still, I'm blinded by the look and behavior that changes when I twirl. Feeling threatened, but never feeling bad about Anisphere for reaching out to me first.
”You haven't changed for a long time, Princess Anisphere.”
Grants nibbled with a grin as he shook his throat. Uphilia looks at her father as she tilts her little neck.
”Did your father have an affair with Princess Anisphere?
”As a Duke of Magenta family, I have no apparent and active relationship. However, if you are involved in His Majesty's confidential consultations and governance, you will be involved even if you do not like it. It has been unchanged for a long time, it remains pure innocent and devastating. It's like a tornado you don't know where to stay.”
From my father's point of view, I was stuck saying that it was a troubled existence, and it was Uphilia that would only make me a little nervous in the future.
”Uffi, listen to this as only one possibility”
”Yes? What is it?”
”Whatever Princess Anisphere will be, can you think of the possibility of standing next to her?
…… Excuse me, the question means a lot......?
”That one has the momentum like a tornado, but it also melts as whimsically as the wind. There will be no support for that heart but a dedicated samurai so far. I'm not even completely open to my parents.”
”... Princess Anisphere, is that, uh...?
I can't relate to the impression of Anisphere. Even though Anisphere is always devastated and positively has the power to knock everything down and move on.
I guess the question Ufiria felt was on her face. Continue as Grants shakes his neck to the left and right.
”If the wind blows, Her Royal Highness Princess Anisphere loses her original glow. You saw that, didn't you? Abolishing Prince Algard himself, His Royal Highness Princess Anisphere, who told him that he would lay down a dictatorship. That's one side of her again. It doesn't really show up.”
”... To be honest, it was frightening”
”If I were to be queen, the wind in that man's heart would stop. For the sake of the people, for the sake of the country, use your talents and the country will develop. That's what royalty is all about, and I wouldn't say no, either. But Princess Anisphere is too unforgiving to others. Orphans has me, my wife, and a queen. But Princess Anisphere doesn't have it.”
”... to be king of solitude,” he said?
”That's why I'm going to lay down a dictatorship, and I'm sure he understands himself. I don't want that to be a monster named King. But if you put it as a king, it is also a delicacy. I also know Orphans holds his head.”
”So, you want me to be the wedge of Princess Anisphere?
”I won't tell you to be anything anymore. Princess Anisphere is just terribly unstable. I believe that the usual way to remove the feathers is a recoil from the surrounding circle.”
Unstable. Indeed, after seeing that puppet-like behavior of Anisphere, Uphilia could not deny it.
with Anisphere, who behaves brightly and thrust into the ruins of heaven. With Anisphere, who is likely to sacrifice everything to go his way in cold blood. Too extreme to extreme. If this is to be referred to as unstable, then I guess so.
”I also try to be a problem child if I want... no, I guess that also has its own temperament. Anyway, I've been talking to Orphans for a long time to say that we need someone to support our minds, disconnect and flatter them. As you can see, he refuses to take his son-in-law or go to his daughter-in-law.
”Why is it rejected so far...”
”That is untouchable, either by Orphanth or by his mother, the Queen. A dedicated maid might know something. So, it's Uffi. Let's get straight to it. I don't blame you if you can keep up with Princess Anisphere's rumors.”
”Yes?”
What did this father say now? Uphilia tilts her neck at the words thrown suddenly and manages to chew on the meaning.
”If Prince Algard stands well, the child is not mandatory. If Princess Anisphere were to become queen, taking Prince Algard's son as his adopted son would preserve the royal blood's face.”
”What, what, what are you talking about”
”We're talking about possibilities. I can't tell you that Princess Anisphere and you won't get along.”
”It is! That! Wasn't it just a rumor and ambiguous in person!
”It was wild, forgive me, Uffi. But you're also worried because you've been badly wounded by a man.”
Grants frowned like trouble and dropped his eyes. Forget the shock of the earlier words on my father's weak face, which I see for the first time. Uphilia turns her gaze.
”Whatever it is, I wish you were happy. I can handle the Duke's house without you. Try hanging out with that guy as just a Ufi for at least a year. You can be my friend. It doesn't matter if it takes another form. I'm sure he won't treat you badly.”
”... Thank you for your concern. Indeed, it is undeniable that men are disgusted. Since we've been on duty, I thought it would be better not to have it as a love, love, or queen than necessary.”
”You're the one who raised me that way. You, too, are distorted in terms of those emotions. That's why I'm worried.”
”... that I would be bonded by Princess Anisphere?
”That guy's a lot of people, isn't he?
Surely there is no malice, and I think Uphilia is like a wind blowing straight through.
I don't know the future. What happens to your relationship with her, etc. Maybe what Anisphere wants from herself.
But I guess it's going to be noisy. Even if I don't like it, I can't imagine where Anisphere is going to be quiet.
”Buhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!... uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
”Does anyone royally stand with their dress off! Please get dressed now!
”I was there! Hit your cheeks. Huh!?”
