145 Episode 38: Magic Birthday Festival, Held
"Lord Silphine, long time no see! I used to look at each other once a year..."
"We are out of time, Emperor Lukeheim. I have already left my post as a diplomat, so I have less chance of getting to the empire."
"Um, the successors are doing great again. As long as I envy the kingdom of Palettia with all its talented talent."
The greeting was there, and when he passed to the room for the reception, Emperor Lukeheim broke his face and tangled up with his father and mother. My father has a slightly pale face on the top of the Buddha, but my mother is not particularly different.
Emperor Lukeheim, who is actively speaking to his father and mother, is in a good mood. I mean, there's no gap for us to get tangled.
"None, Princess Anisphere. Don't let your brother put you through trouble."
"Dear Falgana, Good luck escorting the messengers."
It was Lady Falgana in disguise who spoke to me. The attitude of speaking to me was shattered, although I give a gentle eulogy with a bitter smile.
"It's all about coming and going between kingdoms and empires because of you. I'd love an air bike, too."
"Unfortunately, no air bikes are scheduled for sale outside the country"
"Chi, right? If you could export all that stuff, you'd be more scared."
Master Falgana smiled bitterly and said so. I don't know if he really thinks that or if it's an act.
While it does make getting to and from the Empire a little easier if you can travel by air bike, Air Bike is not going to let you out of the country. Even in the country, it's too soon to put that in the hands of the people. It's going to be under state control for a while.
Two, I noticed Master Falgana's gaze was directed at Emperor Lukeheim, not me. Emperor Lukeheim at the end of his gaze continues his conversation with his father and mother in a superior mood. Instead, your father and mother look confused.
"No, I'm sorry about the truth... My brother has been waiting a long time for this day, take a closer look. Anyway, I'm officially trying to form a friendship, so I was looking forward to having a conversation with both the King and his wife. Damn, that's a good old kid."
"The kingdom and the empire have always been a delicate relationship, so we wouldn't have talked about it..."
"Oh, thanks also to Princess Anisphere and Her Majesty Queen Uphilia"
I flaunt my shoulders to Master Falgana, who smiles brightly. We are about to cut off and form an alliance. If that makes you smile, I don't feel bad.
"Excuse me for the welcome. My Royal Brother Falgana, may I confirm your plans for the future as you cross the border?
"Oh, the Duke of Grants. If you're my brother, I'll take your place. I'm sorry, it's nice to meet you."
Lord Grants walked over when I was talking to Master Falgana and took Master Falgana. Emperor Lukeheim still seemed happy to be waving the subject to his father and mother.
You're a fancy guy with a liver, Emperor Lukeheim. It's a little unusual that that mother is about to be pushed off. Although it may be because of a different attitude than before.
"Anis."
"Ufi."
Uffi walked over to me so that Master Falgana could be replaced by Lord Grants. There is a bitter smile on that look. That gaze is directed at the fathers.
"... you don't seem to have my turn"
"Ha... it's not like I'm being scorned for anything else, isn't it easier to talk to people my age?
"That's right, but should we come mixed up in the conversation for once? Looks like you're both in trouble."
"So is that, if I leave you alone, you're going to be pissed off later"
After snorted at each other with Uffi, we approached our father, who was in the middle of a conversation. The first thing I noticed was my father. I feel like I'm in a ho somewhere.
"Thank you, Father-in-law, Mother-in-law and Emperor Lukeheim's counterpart"
"Oh, Queen Uphilia. Thank you again for this opportunity."
"Yeah, it looks like you're enjoying it."
"Hmm. I, the emperor, could never have been more welcoming, Lord Orphans!
"… Sometimes the situation in our country has not settled down. Now that we have given the throne to Uphilia, the kingdom is in the middle of a leap."
"Uhm. Queen Uphilia is excellent from my eyes and at the same time horrible. Princess Anisphere got a good man, too, and people fit where they fit in."
Gosh, something popped on me!? Good people usually mean mates or something like that! Hih, I don't deny it, but it itches me to be told by others...
"I also asked for marriage from the Empire, but if Queen Uphilia is the opponent, it will only be the horse. No, if Princess Anisphere had been born into the Aylene Empire, I would have dreamed that the empire and kingdom would have had a different relationship again."
"... as long as you have a headache thinking about this child being born into an empire"
My mother flaunted Emperor Lukeheim's joke. What if I was born into an empire? I think I'm here now because, for better or worse, I was raised by my father and mother as princess of the Kingdom of Palletia.
If I didn't grow up in the kingdom, I might not be able to imagine myself for a moment. That's going to be someone too far from me.
"... sometimes Emperor Lukeheim. It's a personal interest, but same-sex marriage should have been recognized by the Empire, right? I'd also like to ask you about legal developments around here."
"Hmm? Oh, my country has swallowed up the territory of various countries. The late, areas that leave such cultures and customs exist. It is true that the proposed compromise for those who had such a culture..."
"Really... Anis and Uffi are still a culture far from the kingdom, albeit with good luck, so it's a hand-driven exploration"
"I see... but if you become royal on a boulder, you also have inheritance issues involved."
"That's right..."
Is that, Mother? Why did you bring up such a topic all of a sudden?!? Something just made it hard for me to get into the subject. What's all the talk about?!? Me, it makes sense to be here!?
You realize I have a subtle look on my face, and I realize that my father is looking at me with regrettable eyes. Yufi also gently put her hand on my shoulder, but I could see that she was turning in a direction with no gaze and laughing.
Knock...! I resent my lack of sociability at times like this......! Hey, we need to change the subject somehow!
"Oh, yeah. Emperor Lukeheim, your demon sword has been successfully completed."
"Oh! Is that true, Princess Anisphere!
"Yes, the handing over of the Devil's Sword is the last day of the Magic Birthday...... Emperor Lukeheim is also going to give it to you at the night club he invited. If you look forward to it until then. I was hoping you'd be satisfied."
"Uhm! I rubbed my mind long enough until I got here! Stay tuned, including a Birthday Visit! All right, today is our first day as a bridge between empire and kingdom! Thoughtful, why don't we talk about it!
Emperor Lukeheim said so in a good mood and began laughing softly. It's something we laugh at so much fun that we get caught and laughed at too.
When I talk like this, I think Master Falgana only boasts that he is a good brother. I figured a lot of people would follow me because I said I was the emperor of the shooter.
That's how the next day, finally, came the day of the Magic Birthday.
The castle towns that can be seen down from the royal castle were enough to hear the noise of the festival, even if it was already far away. A number of stalls stand alongside decorated streets. It was not only a sale, but also a small appearance of a traveller performing a piece of art, which was truly a feast in itself.
"Uh-huh... isn't this the busiest festival ever?
"Maybe."
Uffi, who lines up next door, also agreed with my whining. Since Yufi came to power, the festival in Wang Capital has grown in glamour, but I feel that the scale of the festival increases every time it is repeated more than once.
It's getting tougher, but I think it should be welcomed if it means revitalizing it.
"... Ha, and I can't breathe in my outfit"
"Today is your visit as royalty, so bear with me"
What I look like today is in a dress. This dress has a beautiful pink gradient based on white fabric. If it wasn't what I was wearing, I'd be praised for being a beautiful dress, but this stiffens my shoulders again.
Yufi also looks dressed today. Seeing that, I wondered. Speaking of Uffi, there were usually many blue based color dresses. But today I look in a dress with a light green colour painting a dark light with a gradient. It's a rare color when it comes to rarity.
"Yufi, did you change the color of the dress?
"Yeah, I wasn't really aware of it until now, but I was going to use this as an opportunity to change it"
"Is something wrong?
"... the reason I originally wore a blue dress was because my ex-fiancé's eyes were blue"
I put my face close to my ear and Yuffi whispered in a mix of exhales. Goku, and a chill-like sensation ran on my spine, and I understood the contents of it, and I blushed at once.
Yufi originally wore a blue dress because it was the color of Alkun's original eyes. That's my fiancée's color, so I'm convinced if you say so.
The colour of the dress changed. And again, if you ask me, I realized what that color was. The color of Yuffi's dress is the color of my own eyes I've seen over and over the mirror.
"... unexpected. I thought you didn't care about Yufi."
"It's not like I have a decision to make, but if it's the right color for me, I have a desire to wear the colors of my loved ones."
Use your strength to create a Buddha top surface with a look that is about to collapse. I'm going to have to go on a tour with the Lukeheim emperors, and I'm going to flat out say such an embarrassment...!
"By the way, that's a lot of pink on Anise's dress."
"Next time I think I'm going to say something about ordering dresses too!
I wasn't aware of it, but that's what happened!? No, I was wondering if it was time to be pink and childish at my age. I feel rewarded for leaving it up to you to change things.
When I'm biting my teeth, Yuffi's laughing at me like crazy couscous.... Nothing good, but if Uffi seems to enjoy it. I also want to think the tension has been resolved in good shape.
"Usually, you just want to believe something similar to wishing for as long as you're away. 'Cause until now, it's normal to be together."
"... yes, but you say it's embarrassing to be spoken of again"
"Next time, we need to make our relationship known not only within the kingdom, but also to other countries, starting with the Empire. … I can discourage people from speaking up to anise in Japan, but I don't really go there when I'm outside the country."
"Uffi, your eyes are a little stiff."
I know what Yufi is saying, but I don't think anyone liked me and liked me. Most people just want to get the right to magic. I didn't like that, so I ran away once.
Besides, when I say it, it's the same for Uffi. I think there are a bunch of people who want to target Yuffi's position as a partner. Given Yufi's talent, it's more natural to think so.
... then it's important to make a friendly appeal, isn't it? With that in mind, I took Yuffi's hand. Keep your distance close and drop a kiss just touching your cheek.
"It's okay, I don't want to look away."
"... Sometimes anise is cunning. Yeah, really."
The kiss in return from Uffi is on your lips. We kissed each other just to touch each other, and I felt tickled and laughed.
