111 Episode 10: Waiting Talent (1/2)
”... Anis, are you still awake?
The room where the lights were dropped, Uffi's private room wrapped in the darkness of the night. The light source is about the light of the moon.
Sleeping side by side with Uffi, I focus my consciousness, which was blurred with a whispering Uffi voice.
stroking my stomach with a hand that Uffi turned to his hips to hold me in. I move into the tickle and look at Yufi so that he faces his body.
”... what? Yufi.”
”I thought you'd fallen asleep”
”... n”
Uffi closes his face so that he meets his forehead. If Yuffi's exhalation approaches, her body touched by Yuffi reminds her of the pleasant heat aftertaste. He also leans from himself as he narrows his eyes to the aftertaste of a fever that hurts like a smoke.
I want to sleep terribly, but I don't think I want to sleep either. It makes me want to be touched more by Uffi's hand and held tighter with that arm. Stuff each other at a distance with your hands turned on Uffi's back.
”I'm sleepy... but I don't want to sleep. No. I'll say goodbye when I wake up...”
”... right”
We touched each other a lot today only for what we couldn't touch each other. The night stays long, extending that time. But it's never forever.
The heat of the aftertaste gathers in my stomach and it hurts as much as I think about the impending separation. I couldn't help but reach out to Yuffi's body.
”... you're a sweetheart”
”Which one?
”... shall we divide the pain”
”Hmm......”
”Actually, I'd like it to be sweeter.”
Yuffi unwraps the hand he was holding me against and touches me to wrap my cheek with both hands. Yuffi's finger touches me as he crawls his finger through his temples into his ear.
Lifted to raise your gaze, you can overlap your lips. I'm going to be paralyzed from my ear by a kiss that makes the sound of mouthing sound deliberately.
”I'll wait until you tell me.”
”... what?
”Because Anis thinks you're waiting until I tell you too. Tell me when you want to be sweet. If you're in real trouble, I'll help you.”
”hehe... what's that”
”To shorten the construction period, because if Annis wanted, I wouldn't hesitate to use my powers.”
”... you can't do that, can you, Queen?
It's not better to use your powers for one cheaper with a queen. Besides, if I have the power to work hard on my own, I want to accomplish it myself.
I'm the one who made Yuffi queen, even if that's what Yuffi wanted. I get enough from Uffi. More than that, I still know Uffi wants more.
Still, I don't like living sweet on Uffi, and even I want to spoil Uffi. Make it a little easier for Uffi to take on the heavy responsibility of becoming the king who bears the country. Because I want to create a country where I can laugh at each other with Uffi.
”As much as you rely on it, you'll still be happy with Yuffi... but this is how you want Yuffi to touch me, stay with me, and share”
”... Yes”
”Let me try harder. It's okay, because you can't work hard wrong. We need to ask Father and Mother first to see if we can really get people.”
”I'll turn that around here, too. I'll let you know if there's any movement.”
”Yeah. Then I'll keep the groundwork. I don't care how it works, I'll fix it first.”
Now turn your hand from me to Yuffi's neck and mouth deep. The mouthpiece exchanged to eat each other's breath pulls the thread and the lips away.
Yufi's eyes shake in the moonlight. Gu, and Ufi held hands to ride on me from the position he was facing me.
”... Anis, I'm sorry. Just a little more.”
”Yep...?
”No, sir?
”... ok. Here, go ahead.”
to Uffi looking down at me. I reached out to accept. We narrowed our eyes so Yufi wouldn't be impatient and our distance went to zero.
A month went by as early as the weekdays when life began to come and go with the new city construction site and the king capital for the holidays. Speaking of what I've done in the meantime, I haven't been busy working out future plans with Uncle Drags, face-to-face with Mr. Darma to discuss future construction plans, or going to comfort the knights I'm staying with.
It was a busy but fulfilling day to report progress to Yufi, Father and Mother even back in Wang Capital. A turning point came in those days.
”Huh? That Raini's coming this way?
I raised my gaze toward the material in the report I received from Priscilla. Because the unexpected will come here.
”Yeah, they're coming here as the name of Her Majesty Queen Uphilia. She said she was already leaving, so her arrival is scheduled for tomorrow. This is a letter addressed to Her Royal Highness the King.”
Unseal the letter I received from Priscilla and confirm the contents. What was written there was my long-awaited reward.
”Oh, you're talking about the extra personnel in the example. Looks like we finally decided.”
”An example of bringing here an aristocratic bastard to shorten the construction period, or a child who cannot succeed to the position of governor?
Since then, it seems that Uffi has raised it on the agenda with the help of his father and mother, whether there are any people in Wang Capital who can be sent to my city plan to proceed.
However, he still didn't react well. Although the profits involved in planning a new city are fascinating, no one magically tries to imitate the architect.
So why don't you let the bastards of the nobility, or the children who won't be able to succeed to their duties as governors, work here? A suggestion was made that
They reacted in half, both yes and no, to this must. It was a statement to the effect that people had been dispatched who had accepted that they would finally come this way, although I knew the debate had been overlapping since then.
Is Raini coming as Yufi's nominee because we have Uncle Drags?
”It's a pleasure, but it's a shame.”
”Hmm?”
”I was hoping to see the new invention of His Royal Highness King Anisphere, who sparked the revolution.”
”... that's what you were expecting? Me.”
”Yep. But look forward to another opportunity.”
What a gripping smile, Priscilla, that expression struck me oddly.
Later, I told Uncle Drags that Raini was coming too and he was happy. I think it's a good thing that we have the opportunity to meet each other in this way, even though we work.
Tomorrow afternoon. Reports came in that the carriage in which Raini rode had arrived at the Count Cyan's house just as the sun rose.
”Countess Cyan has arrived, Your Highness.”
”I get it. Shall we go, Navre, Charne?”
”Here you go.”
”Yes!”
It seems that Raini has already been put through to the Count's reception, and I also took Navre and Charne, accompanying him today, to the reception.
If you knock and wait for a response, Uncle Drags will give you permission to enter the room. Raini was sitting in a white dress when I opened the door and let him in. There was also Ilia beside it, which made my eyes a little rounded. You're all here, these two.
And one girl was holding back behind Raini's sitting seat. The appearance drapes the silver hair of a loose wave of habit all the way to her chest, a girl who gets the impression that it's because of her sleepy yellow-green eyes.
What I'm wearing is a simple one-piece dress, and I get the impression that the costume is more of a loss to her appearance. That's all he looked like.
