4 Estio

 

- Episode 9

 

Marisa, who has been attracting attention as she stands as the first princess, has always had such anxiety in her heart. Her father, her emperor, only sees her eyes, and to protect her little brother who was born as her fifth prince, she had to keep her sanity. Marisa had grown up early and had dealt with gossiping nobles, hiding in the shadows of splendid palaces.

 

When I closed my eyes, I could hear ridicule from somewhere.

 

There was no one who fully looked after her in the Imperial Palace.

 

'Then why am I even talking about this? Is it because you drank tula tea?'

 

Today's tula tea has the effect of relieving tension and making people talk about what's inside, but Marisa has already had a strong tolerance for all tea leaves.

 

Marisa came to her senses and curled her lips awkwardly.

 

"Okay, I'm relaxed, so I'll say hi here. Shall we start preparing for the dinner party, everyone?"

 

It was because of the rainy season, so it was full of dark clouds, but if it had been a clear day, it was already time for sunset. Even if it was a dinner party, there was not much time to spare as it started soon.

 

Estio looked at Princess Marisa who diligently stood up from her seat. And I glanced at Neju standing behind me.

 

「……」

 

This time, Neju brought two flowerpots in her arms. One was Ahur, and the other was a crystal flower that Marisa gave him as a gift.

 

'Sorry.'

 

Estio gave up telling the story that the crystal flower followed to the imperial palace where the native Marisa resided. The crystal flower heard the words of the apple swallowed in her mouth and whispered without energy.

 

「……Thank you for taking me……」

 

It was poison to each other to tell the story of the crystal flower in front of the princess who refused to listen to the sounds of plants. The crystal flower didn't want much either.

 

Estio received a crystal flower pot from Neju and handed it to the princess.

 

"I will return this flower."

 

"Oh? This kid."

 

Marisa, who gave her eyes to the flowerpot, made a surprised expression.

 

"Did you not like it? I thought you liked plants because you kept carrying cacti."

 

"It's a nice flower."

 

Estio replied firmly. Then, while Marisa was bewildered, he added briefly.

 

"But I brought it because I thought it would be better to return it to the original owner than what I have."

 

"is that so?"

 

"Yes."

 

As Estio spoke so proudly, Princess Marisa accidentally took the crystal flower pot and took it.

 

After handed over the flowerpot, Estio went out of the greenhouse with his party, following the instructions of the servants, as if he had finished his work.

 

Princess Marisa, who was staring blankly at their disappeared backs, looked into the flowerpot she was holding. As she looked at her unspotted white petals, she could tell that she had not seen a drop of rain as it was pouring down outside.

 

The refreshing scent of crystal flowers lingered on the tip of his nose. Marisa suddenly remembered what Estio had just said.

 

'It's a nice flower.'

 

There was no unusual accent, no rhetoric to say the least.

 

It was a voice that could not be erased as easily as the scent of flowers.

 

"My Majesty the Princess, you must start preparing to participate in the party as soon as possible, so it will not be late."

 

"Penzi!"

 

"Yes, yes, my lord."

 

The maid, who was carefully chasing the princess, shook her head in surprise.

 

"That's what he said a while ago."

 

"Yes?"

 

"It seemed like he was saying, "You're a good person, right?"

 

"Yes......?"

 

With the puzzled maid beside her, Marisa burst out laughing out loud. The maids, startled once again by the loud laughter that was not like a princess, shouted 'Your Majesty!', but she didn't really care.

 

Ignis guild leader Estio, he was more special than the princess had imagined.

 

* * *

 

To participate in the party, you had to wear a suit. The guest invited by the princess was Duke Mubin R. Hey, so he took off the robe he was wearing with a very annoyed look on his face.

 

On the other hand, Estio, Parker, and Kai, who were permitted to accompany as guild members, did not have to change their clothes. Moobin was a bit resentful in that he had to rearrange his outfit alone, but he got used to it and finished the preparations regardless of his mood. It was only after seeing that figure that I realized that the rest of the guild members preferred to use their body rather than their heads, and that Moobin R. Heiga, who simply thought and acted on anything, was a duke who lived in a very high-class society.

 

After all preparations were made, the problem remained.

 

Neju, who was classified as a huge and ferocious beast, was not allowed to enter the party. He decided to wait with Ahur in the princess's glass garden, where Neju had no place to stay.

 

"Goodbye."

 

"It's delicious when you come!"

 

Ahur, who normally would have grumbled, was happy to be with the crystal flower in the greenhouse, even a little longer. Today, the cactus, which was wriggling with its green branches overflowing with vitality, suddenly bent its body.

 

"But Estio, the tiger hasn't come back yet?"

 

"......Yes."

 

Tsuki was nowhere to be seen today. Since joining the guild, it has been nearly ten days since the black cat that had always been chasing Estio secretly disappeared. Hearing this, Neju, who had been sunny as well, darkened her expression at the same time.

 

"I'm worried that Tsuki is too late. I hope he gets kidnapped!"

 

「Ugh, where is she going to be kidnapped? Don't worry too much and just scratch my back."

 

"How's your back?"

 

"A little lower. more and more. Uh-huh, cool!"

 

The four of them set off, leaving Neju and Ahur behind the whispering words. Mubin, who had been looking at the white sparkling crystal flower, turned her head and murmured.

 

"That's right. Cactus-san doesn't seem to be too concerned."

 

Not much, but I wasn't worried at all. Ahur fully trusted Tsuki's power.

 

"Are you very worried?"

 

If he had said that, Moobin would have the momentum to free the duke immediately.

 

Estio stared out the window for a moment while the storm was pouring in.

 

'little.......'

 

but didn't show it.

 

There's only one thing he can do anyway. He was just waiting for the black cat to come to visit him at any time.

 

When they arrived at the entrance to the banquet hall, many eyes fell on them.

 

To be precise, it was his interest in 'Duke Heiga', which was difficult to see.

 

Heiga is the sword of the Empire. Although he possessed a large territory and military power, there was no nobleman who did not know that in reality it was a bloody title that had to pioneer a barren land infested with monsters and thieves. As strong as he is, he is at the forefront of the filthy bloody one. The Imperial Emperor always used Heiga as his sword in situations where he had to see blood.

 

Like a dog running after hearing his call even though he knew he was going to die, Heiga surrendered at the emperor's feet like that. As a result, the perception that Duke Heiga was a longevity that could only be seen on the battlefield followed. Naturally, he was notorious for not attending banquets or conference halls.

 

Even if he came to the Imperial Palace for business, he would return like a sword after meeting the emperor, so other nobles could not see him at all.

 

"Oh my God, the rumors were true!"

 

"Really, Duke Hei is going to attend the banquet."

 

The nobles who checked Mubin's face were confused. Everyone was very interested in him, but he didn't come close to him, he just murmured from a distance as if to watch.

 

"Then why is it this banquet?"

 

"I wonder if the Black Wolf of the Empire had a special relationship with His Majesty the First Princess."

 

"Well, the private life of the royal family is so secret."

 

A vulgar joke about the narrow line circulated throughout the banquet hall. Mubin, who has the physical ability of a body type, could hear their whispers clearly and clearly, but pretended not to know and approached the princess.

 

"It's a pleasure to accept your invitation, Hey Ga-gong."

 

"Congratulations on your twenty-first birthday."

 

The eyes surrounding the two who exchanged greetings warmly stinged as if they were stabbing.

 

Then, people's eyes shifted to the party Mubin brought along. Since Estio and other guild members were not nobles, they could not follow along to the center of the princess and stayed near the entrance to the hall where the banquet was held.

 

"Wait, you have two black hair?"

 

"Did Hei Ga-gong have a brother?"

 

"Stupid! That's a guild member."

 

Black hair was not common in Lubarzan. However, since it was an empire that was created by mixing so many different peoples, it was not a colorless country.

 

The people who were confused by the appearance of Mubin and Estio with dark hair gradually discovered the difference.

 

"Look, the clothes are guild uniforms."

 

If you don't know about other guilds, the black and white uniforms were the clothes that Luvarzan had to get used to. Someone who even checked the blazing firebird badge muttered the name of the guild that came to mind.

 

"'Ignis'."

 

Carrying an attendant with a noble family was not a problem, as it was frequent.

 

'Now, who are you going to come out from?'

 

After finishing the show-off greeting with the princess, Moo-bin was just relaxed. He didn't get that kind of gaze from nobles once or twice, so he could see into their secret secrets. Even if he did not have the ability to read minds, he could very simply read what he was thinking if he was an aristocratic subject gathered here.

 

Mubin took a sip of the white wine on display, ignoring the nobles who were glancing at him as if he were looking at a strange animal. Even the wine prepared for a party for the princess is pretty white. The taste was too sweet.

 

"Hey, sir."

 

From the crowd that had been watching, someone spoke with a voice full of favor.

 

"It's been a long time since I've seen you in a place like this. Are you going well with your estate?"

 

"I'm sorry, but it's a face I can't remember."

 

"Ah! It's so nice to meet you, so I'm disrespectful without introducing myself."

 

The young man who approached Moo-bin did not give in to the harsh answer and maintained a smile.

 

"This is Lizzy Endymion. Endymion, who took over the title earlier this year, is the head of state."

 

Neatly combed caramelized hair split in half exactly on the forehead.

 

Early 20s who just inherited the title. Even though he was young, he even looked a bit naive, but Moobin was never deceived by the good impression of his opponent.

 

"Indeed, he's the kind of talent that His Majesty expects."

 

As soon as I was lucky enough, Count Endymion grabbed the bait.

 

"...Did your High Majesty the Princess say that?"

 

"I heard that you were watching to see if the timber lived up to your expectations. Just enough to convey your expectations through my mouth like this."

 

'Unless you're a traitor, of course.'

 

And the card that hides the truth is watching right from behind.
