11. royal couple

 The scenario is progressing.
 When Harold and I checked 『Otsusei』, it was currently Chapter 5 out of 10 chapters. She was harassed by a high-ranking aristocratic daughter in the same grade because she was from a commoner family, but the protagonist gains allies due to her inherent cheerfulness and honesty.
 Among them, there are several sons of aristocrats, who are candidates for the Crown Prince's aides, who are especially worried about the protagonist and take care of him.
 The honest hero invites them to his house to thank them. They keep each other in check and fire sparks at each other, but it's only casually described by the author, and the main character thinks it's just a friend and doesn't notice it.
 In the end, the main character, who met the crown prince through them, fell in love with him for the first time in his life.
 
"..."
 
 I close the book with a little pain in my heart as I remember my unrequited approach to the appearance of my aides.
 Just in time, there was a knock on the door of the room.
 Harold, who had left the agency and returned, said with his usual expressionless expression.
 
"It's time for dinner. Their Majesties are coming today."
"……go"
 
 Or rather, I have no choice but to go.
 Both my father and mother are busy with official duties. Even at night, he is often absent from attending balls and salons. I have to say that it was a stroke of luck that I could meet him on the night I wanted to talk to him--but.
 
"Mother too..."
 
 It's something my son says, but that couple gets out of control when they're together. because i know thatstewardstuartIt seems that each of them is busy with their schedules. It means that there will be no occasional water tonight.
 Considering the importance of the situation, I'd like to raise my hands and rejoice, but... if possible, I wanted to take a few days to prepare mentally, yeah. 
 
 
 When I changed my clothes and headed to the dining room, dinner was already prepared on the dining table, and the waiter was waiting.
 Both father and mother seem to have just arrived, and are slowly sitting on the chairs, prompted by the attendants. My father sits at the head of the table, my mother sits diagonally in front of him, and I sit on the other side.
 
“Father, mother, I am most grateful for your good health.”
 
 After bowing, I also sit in front of the silver tableware.
 Father and mother were wearing easy-to-move-in silk shirts and dresses, with arabesques sewn with the same color silk thread. ……Is it a pair look?
 
"It's been a while, Vincent."
"We haven't seen each other much lately, and I was wondering how you were doing."
 
 Even though he was getting old, his face had a good complexion and a broad-minded smile, and Father nodded in a frank way. Her mother, wrapped in her well-dressed dress, straightens her back and looks at me.
 The expression is soft. However, his parents possessed the personality of a king who would not lose his smile no matter what happened.
 The two mouths open together.
 
''So, how is your relationship with Miss Elizabeth?'' ”
 
"..."
 
 I looked down without saying anything.
 As soon as the king's face collapsed, a sigh escaped from the lips of the two at the same time.
 
 Even though these two sons were nothing more than heirs to the kingdom and pawns of the kingdom, Elizabeth, who was to become his daughter-in-law, was extremely fond of them.
 Of course I am the cause.
 The moment I met my only son, who repeatedly rebelled against his tutor and said he would not inherit the royal family, he changed his mind. Ask mother to send to Elizabethlove poemlove letterI was asked to correct it. When I received an answer, I boasted to my father. And each time she told him what a good lady Elizabeth was. Super dark history.
 Through my missionary work, the royal couple grew up to be splendid Elizabeth fans, although they don't show it on the outside. Is it exactly this parent and this child, or this child and this parent?
 Anyway, it's self-inflicted, but my sense of dislike towards my parents easily surpasses that of other adolescent men.
 After realizing my mistake, taking advantage of my parents' busy schedule, and even when one of them was in the royal palace, I didn't see them much because of my studies.
 
“Was I right… I thought that if we spent more time together in the academia, our relationship would progress.”
"Vincent, have you sent a letter to Miss Elizabeth? With flowers? Perfume?"
"..."
 
 You can proceed without saying anything. The waiter hesitantly handed me a loaf of bread as I looked like a dead fish.
 Soup will be served soon. The royal couple handled the spoons gracefully, seemingly unconcerned by the ivory silk. ……Without forgetting to speak to my son in between.
 
"If you sit cross-legged on your fiancée's seat, you might get disgusted. Think about a date incognito. It seems that a circus is coming to the castle town. If my position allows, I would like to invite the queen."
"Oh, that's a very good idea, my dear. So give me a gift. I want you to put this in my room instead of me."
"..."
 
 It's true that I was reading Miss Serena's novel and was burning up with my incognito date, but now it's not the time.
 I let out a sigh of relief as I watched my parents leave their son behind and devour a date plan—and not let a single drop of gravy splash.
 Looking at the things that didn't become a topic, it seems that the "Otsusei" turmoil at the Royal Academia hadn't reached their ears.
 It wouldn't be strange to get into the academy if there was suspicious activity around Elizabeth, such as Mother. A person with such a mysterious power of action. At some point, the steward looked at me from a distance and said, "In order to avoid trouble, you should keep yourself busy so you don't think about unnecessary things."
 
 Seen from the outside, the two are calm and gentle, and in fact, they are talking about castle town spots that their son's future wife would be delighted with.
 It is said that the king is the one who calmly plays chess and orders the assassination with a nonchalant face.
 
"Then let's do it like that. Father, after this, I would like to discuss permission to go to the castle town and the schedule."
"Umu. Good."
 
 Did the tension not come out in the voice?
 With a disrespectful look at my heart, which was beating a little faster, I moved my hand to eat.
