18 Episode 18: Baroness Truth (1/2)
”How was this outing? Mother.”
”Yep. I extended my legs further from my neighbor this time...”
Enjoy conversation time with your mother until the time of sight. It is interesting, and above all I like, to convey and listen to the scenery, lifestyle, skills and culture that I have seen on the outing, although I am a tough mother. Because all this time, my mother also relaxes a little and speaks to rap.
Time passed instantly that Ilia was interested in a conversation with the tea she prepared for me, and it was time for a glimpse.
”Silphine, Anisphere. Time.”
”Oh, you already are. See you next time, Anis.”
”Yes, Mother”
My father and I are here to join the family and go to see each other. The number of people between the sights is minimal, and the escort is full of his father's belly, starting with the Knights of Sprout.
As he waits with his spine stretched so as not to be ashamed of himself as a royalty, the two figures are passed between the sights.
One is a big man. Characterized by sharp gray eyes on dark brown hair, the body is disappointed.
The figure is a sweeping word. Such a man is dressed in an aristocratic style, which makes him look rudely out of place. He is Baron Cyan. It's a convincing appearance when you hear you're an adventurer originally.
And next to it. It was Raini Sian, the young lady who was next to Al Kun at a party at the Aristocratic Academy, who came in to walk behind Baron Sian's step.
Grey eyes that tend to lay low on glossy dark hair. She is a more luxurious girl who is more accentuated if arranged next to Baron Cyan.
First of all, the impression I feel is very flashy, and my face is full of worry because of how depressed I am. Perfect when it comes to the beautiful girl of thin fortune.
”Baron Cyan. And her daughter, Raini. Well done.”
Father speaks to Baron Cyan and Miss Raini, who knelt down. Baron Cyan, still kneeling, looked nervous and seemed to feel sorry for this one watching. It looks like such a big body is shrinking small.
”Raise your face, allow me to speak”
”Ha! My wonder daughter is so rude this time! Please, forgive me!
Baron Cyan kept his head deeply bowed, even though he told me how desperate it was to look up and be good. I think I'm going to be in the dirt now. Baron Cyan is begging, as he pleads, with a voice commensurate with his physique.
Though Father frowned a little, he promptly returned his expression and again urged Baron Cyan to raise his head.
”Easy, Baron Cyan. This time we set up a seat to shed light on the truth. Without knowing the truth, I'm not going to blame anyone for their sins. Take it easy first.”
”... Ha, excuse me. Your Majesty's words, very stained.”
The expression remained tense, but Baron Cyan finally looked up to me. I can see from wherever you look at it, it's tedious. Baron Cyan is in a hard position too, given his position. Though it may not be different from your father's in terms of his father's hardship.
I don't get such a bad impression on Baron Cyan. The line that my parents were poorly educated also disappeared in me. With that in mind, I turn my gaze from Baron Cyan to Miss Raini. I still don't see Miss Raini's expression on her knees.
”There were aspects of Algard's and Uphilia's broken engagement that were more difficult to navigate than they were. Algard approached his daughter and exchanged feelings.”
”It's a hell of a thing when you think about your identity. The concubine still hasn't thought about pushing her legitimate fiancée...”
”So you think Algard said it unilaterally?
”I won't say that. Indeed, my daughter Raini was sometimes adopted, and there were aspects of her education as a nobleman that were inadequate. Sometimes the college seems to annoy the prince's hands because of the deficiencies, but it is thanks for the assistance that we had...”
”But Algardo was driven by outrage for Miss Raini and stood by the break-up and impeachment of her engagement. This is not true. I don't think there's any love left.”
Baron Cyan has shrunk his shoulders in a frightened manner. Father shifts his gaze from Baron Cyan to Miss Raini.
”Raini Sian. Raise your face.”
Slowly Miss Raini looks up. I can't see the color of my emotions because I'm nervous about my expression, because it's going to disappear now. I can't feel the light so much that those eyes even seem as if they were a void.
What an adorable lady to look at again. I'm also convinced that if this humorous atmosphere disappears and smiles, a man will be blinded.
She is certainly a beautiful girl with a different colour than Yufi. I just don't think I'm a person to be honest with. Even if they say it's a doll, they might believe it for a moment.
”Allow me to speak. To be frank... didn't your Lord have feelings for Algard?
Father asks frankly. The attention of the venue gathers to Miss Raini, in which Miss Raini opens her mouth without shaking her expression.
”- No.”
That, my voice.
I doubted my ears for a moment with such a beautiful voice. That's enough to put me in the illusion that I've been ruled over this place.
”... it's a hell of a thing. I don't think I can afford to be like that. I preferred Master Algard, if I didn't say so, it would be a lie. But I never meant to darken the future of the royal family.”
Everyone hears a good talking voice. I'm just saying that I can't miss the way Miss Raini lays her eyes down, or even the movement of her lips that trembled just to exhale.
How much silence would have lasted. My father, who made me jump on his shoulder like I was getting back on my mind, coughs.
”... well. I don't think you're lying to me.”
discomfort. Such a feeling spreads, like a thin membrane stretched between perceptions.
Nobody says anything to Father's words, and he lowers his gaze so that he can't help it.
It's as if Miss Raini isn't bad, she's going to admit it. The air is spreading.
”- BOOKSHONG!!”
My nose itched and I sneezed as much as I wanted.
In another sense, the place quiets back down. The gaze concentrates from Miss Raini to me. Oh, no, my mother has a great smile. This could die later.
Baron Cyan is looking at me with his eyes round, and Miss Raini is opening her mouth to surprise. I also saw my father stand up at ease. My shoulders are trembling heavily.
”... Anis... the guy named you... everywhere...!
”Chi, chi! Father! Forgive me for speaking! I have something to say to you, Anisphere!
”I wouldn't ask if it was an explanation!
”It's not! Please, I need some time!
”Yeah, you want a nose too!
”I'd like some time to talk to Miss Raini!
”What no...?
All of a sudden my father glances at me with his eyes just saying what to say. But I can't pull all this off either. If it's a mistake or a concern, that's fine.
But if my remaining discomfort and hiccups are correct, I can't leave them alone. First of all, I can't help but not understand the situation. For that reason, I want to be alone with Miss Raini to confirm something.
”Father. Please believe me. It's not all a joke, it's not a witch's game.”
”... is it too much for you to say? Can't we find out more here?
”Because I don't have any certainty yet...”
Father staring into my face and silencing. Both Baron Cyan, Miss Raini and the head of the Sprout Knights, who was on the escort, have a bewildered look at me.
You may, Your Majesty.
”Silphine?”
”I believe in anise intuition. I think it's only a matter of time before she wants time.”
”But... ugh. Can't we even have someone present?
”Yes, please just the two of us. I have no intention of causing any harm. We'll be prepared to punish you for your lawlessness once you've confirmed it.”
”... ok. Let me show you two to the separate room. Is that all right?
”Thank you”
Look, I exhale and stroke my chest down. After thanking his father, he also sends his gaze to his mother to be silent. My mother didn't say anything, she just nodded small.
You couldn't keep up with the situation on the field, Baron Cyan and Miss Raini are just gazing at me. I walk up to Miss Raini like that and give her my hand.
”Miss Raini, give me your hand. I'd like to take a moment.”
”Ah... ha...”
Miss Raini stands up flashly as she takes my hand in a frightened manner. Leave the room as you escort her. Soon Ilia followed me and opened the door.
Keep going into a separate room in the nearby area, with Miss Raini in the guest room. Encourage me to exit the room to the Ilia that followed me, make sure the door closes and exhale.
”... Um”
Miss Raini looks at me without even trying to hide her anxiety. Let go of the hand you were holding, take a step away, and then smile.
”Suddenly I'm sorry, I really need to check something out.”
”Confirm…?
”Let me look into you a little bit.”
”... Um, I didn't really do anything...!
Turn your complexion blue and Miss Raini steps back. I don't know what I'm going to do, and I know full well that I'm scared of fear.
To be honest, I know her mental burden is enormous. But I can't snort.
”I want you to trust me to prove it.... Oh, no. I understand you don't believe me. This is an order from the princess. I'll check on you, I know it's lame. I'll apologize later. But if we don't clear you up here, we'll put you at a disadvantage.”
”... no...”
”I just need to get back to you. All right?
