The structure inside the castle is complicated.

Even on the same first floor, there are places that can be reached directly from the entrance hall, and others that must be passed through the second floor to reach.

The dungeons are more obvious, requiring a maze-like route that requires you to go down to the third basement, up to the second basement, and then down again to the third basement to finally get there.

The hidden passage from the princess's private room to the common graveyard in the capital was also designed with the same kind of careful preparation as in the royal capital.

On the third floor of the castle, there is a courtyard.

From the third floor, the castle is divided into three towers, each of which is connected by an outer corridor.

The courtyard was designed by the ancestors of the ”nobles” to create a landscape that would not be bland when walking along the outer corridors.

This is the place where the duel between Richter and Huta took place, and it is also the place where the ”nobles” relax.

It was unusually empty today, and the gentle evening sun was shining on the plants.

”......

After finishing her work, Lilac suddenly stopped at the sight.

She was going to go back to her room, and after that she would have a handfasting with Futa.

But if she hurried back, Futa would be out with Corona today.

I had a little time to spare, as I had finished my work earlier than expected.

The plants in the garden, dressed in healthy greenery, announced that the cherry blossom season would soon be over.

Lilac loved this season.

The color of the plants seemed to stretch out and give her hope for the future.

The fresh greenery in the morning sun was nice, but the leaves reflecting the setting sun were also beautiful.

I walked quickly out of the corridor and towards the garden.

...... Hmm.

The tall plants form a lush landscape.

At the end of the courtyard, there was a light view of the castle, though not as great as the balcony.

The sky is blue and red at sunset. The whites of the clouds are mixed in, like a palette that is struggling to decide what to paint.

While I was wondering what to paint, the sun was setting.

By the time I decided to paint the sunset, it was too late.

By the time I decided to paint the sunset, it was too late... I laughed to myself, remembering how many times this had happened to me in the past.

Well, let's go back.

As I turned on my heel, I almost tripped over my feet.

This happens sometimes because the heels I'm wearing are not the easiest to walk in.

This was especially true since I rarely wore long heels until recently.

I almost lost my balance and reflexively looked down at my feet.

The lilac was the first thing I noticed, with small white flowers here and there.

Shiro clover.

It was not a flower that interested me much.

But for some reason... The flowers on the ground suddenly caught her attention, and she crouched down.

Like her namesake, Lilac, she was not very interested in flowers.

She enjoyed the courtyard and the entire botanical garden as a landscape, but she never paid attention to individual flowers. I never did.

But for some reason, I was curious about this white clover that I had kicked over and squinted at it.

I poked it, and it leaned easily.

But soon the stem regained its shape and straightened up again.

I've heard that before.

The leaves of the white clover are also called clover.

The four-leaf clover, which is said to bring good luck, is not born with four leaves, but changes its shape when someone steps on it.

They get stepped on, but they still get up. And then it catches people's eyes.

......

A little annoyed, she poked the white clover again.

”Maid, I have a few thoughts.

”What?

It was then that she heard a familiar voice.

If they were going out and coming back, they would certainly take this path.

One of the guest rooms on the third floor, a short distance from the outer corridor, was Futa's private room.

I tried to talk to him in a normal way, but I had a mischievous thought that I might surprise him.

The fact that I was squatting was also an advantage.

I made a small arc of my mouth, not expecting the princess to be hiding in the courtyard. Not that she was trying to hide.

At the same time, I had the small pleasure of surprising them from behind as they stormed down the outer corridor.

”Futa-sama, don't you think you're some kind of goddess or something?

The conversation made her stop in her tracks.

She hadn't thought it was about her.

Lilac didn't know it, but there was a high probability that the pimp would mention her name - and all this without her.

Apparently, it's the same for both sisters when they lose their source and listen.

That's not true.

Yes, there is. You don't seem to believe that the Princess goes to the toilet.

Lilac-sama would never go to the toilet.

Look. ！！！！

You've got to be kidding!

The fact that it doesn't sound like a joke shows how Hootsu-sama usually acts!

Yeah. ......

What are you talking about?” Lilac let out a sigh as her cheeks turned red.

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm going to have to.

If they heard her, they might inadvertently send her to the frontier.

Lilac, who was not in the mood to be startled, thought about calling out to her, but she had no choice.

So, what's Corona's problem?

I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out.　In the event that you have any questions regarding where and how to use the site, please do not hesitate to contact us.

I'm not sure what to make of that. Let's get him to apologize.

That's what I'm talking about. ！！！！！！

You can't see the expression on Futa's face.

You can't see Futa's face, but he was certainly in a complicated mood.

I understand that he always stands up for me.

I understand that we are in different positions.

But still, I couldn't shake the complicated feeling.

It's not that I want to be the kind of person who gets grabbed by the neck by Futa and makes a fuss about it.

It's just that Corona is right.

It was true that they seemed to get along better.

And.

If I close my eyes, I can still vividly remember the semi-final that I was so disappointed in.

Who was the victory for?

Who was I looking at when I challenged them?

The wounds I suffered that day are not likely to heal in a short while.

However, he couldn't take it out on Futa while Corona was still convinced that the princess was at fault.

When I saved Corona, I thought lightly that maybe I should have turned it off, but that's all it is.

But it's only a myth. It's just a myth, and there's nothing I can do about it.

It was also a kind of realization.

Futa can show his face like that to someone.

In both good and bad ways, Futa makes up for it in front of Lilac.

She's happy that he's taking care of her so that she can be comfortable with him, and she's also happy that he's showing respect for her.
