83 – Grand Duke Aka – 83

“What is His Majesty doing here?”

“Are you still calling me Your Majesty? … This father’s heart really seems to be torn———huh?”

Oh, our eyes met.

“Kuhm! Outside, they tested what the princess would look like. After all, you do not disappoint me.”

The emperor, who changed from a haggard expression to a serious expression in an instant, clears his throat.

No, I’ve seen them all.

I thought about it when I saw him trying to play a joke on Rosé earlier, but it seems that the real personality of the emperor is this way.

“Gregory. Your Majesty’s daughter must have been an idiot… … .”

And Rosé tells me about it without noticing it. flinch. and the emperor’s body trembled.

“uh? Gregory? Rosé?”

Subsequently, Priscilla, who heard Rosé’s voice and looked back to find us, puts on a puzzled expression.

“Oh no, this… … !”

“It’s already been caught, so what? Just speak comfortably.”

And Raphael, who is watching the scene with a smile as if he is having fun.

The emperor, who was staring at us, let out a deep sigh.

“first of all… … Could you please close the door?”

“I will.”

First, after closing the door, Rosé sat next to Priscilla, and I sat next to Raphael.

“I didn’t expect that there would be a person who could naturally enter Priscilla’s room, not anyone else… … . It seems Jim’s expectations were wrong.”

“Yes, I am very close with Miss Rose. Gregory too.”

The emperor tilted his head at Priscilla’s meaningful words.

Then, someone urgently started knocking on the door.

‘your majesty! We know you’re inside! His Majesty!’

some familiar voice.

The first to react to this was Rosé.

“this! It’s my aunt’s voice!”

Rose immediately got up from her seat and opened the door.

Just as Rose said, Peony Duke Py von Euglia was standing on the other side of the door, sweating profusely.

“Hey, you opened it! Ha, you can’t move carelessly now… … Rosé?”

“aunt! See you again!”

A short scream is heard from behind them.

“Come on, Peony! I must have been bullied… … !”

“I knew that, so I buried your majesty with thyme. You can’t avoid me as long as you’re inside Heinbern.”

… … Did you use thyme, which is used only when chasing the emperor of the empire?

It was an act that could be called crazy if you didn’t know anything about it, but… … The opponent is Peony Gong, not anyone else.

The only nine dukes in the empire and a party of warriors who defeated disasters in the past.

And, it is an elf who has been with the past emperor since he was a child.

“I’m glad though. With Rosé here, the story will be a lot easier. princess. May I go inside?”

Perhaps inferring the current situation from Pi’s words, Priscilla sighed when she saw the emperor.

“Dad disappeared without a word, right? Come on in.”

The expression of the emperor, who had been smiling in front of Priscilla at the appearance of the peony ball, hardened.

A pie that naturally sits across from the emperor in silence.

“your majesty. I must have told you right? They say that when the other students, including the princess, come, the treatment will begin.”

A cold voice that is completely different from when we first met. Embarrassed by this, the emperor coughed and started making excuses.

“I couldn’t stand it because it was the first time I saw my daughter. I know better than anyone that Peony is always worried about me, so I sincerely apologize.”

“… … Seriously though, it’s a relief that Rosé and Raphael-sama are here. I can treat you right here on the spot.”

“You mean here? Come to think of it, Rose von Euglia. You are the Peony’s nephew! I’ve heard stories about you since time immemorial. You say you have medicine to cure my illness?”

“yes? Ah yes! That’s right!”

The emperor with a benevolent smile approached Rosé and grabbed Rosé’s hand with both hands.

“Thank you very much. I will never forget this grace.”

“ah… … . no! You’re Priscilla’s father and my aunt’s acquaintance, right? Of course I felt compelled to help!”

Upon hearing Rosé’s words, the emperor put on a puzzled expression.

“Isn’t it because it’s the emperor of the empire?”

“Of course there is that too… … Rather than that, they are acquaintances of my precious people! I’m sure there must be a reason that Priscilla and Auntie like you!”

“… … is it.”

The emperor slowly let go of Rosé’s hand.

“Priscilla, you have a good friend.”

“… thank you.”

“Pyrotechnician. You too have a wonderful nephew.”

“… He is my nephew.”

“yes?”

It seems that Rosé did not realize that she had fallen for the emperor.

Because he is the emperor, he is not trying to help.

I think you are a good person as much as others value you.

Perhaps it was the statement that could appeal to the emperor the most right now.

I thought it was really like Rosé.

“And Rose. Um, Euglia has a peony over there, so can I call her name?”

“yes! Please feel free to call me!”

“ha ha ha! It’s nice not to be so polite. Now, I came here not as the emperor, but as Priscilla’s father. Let’s talk comfortably here.”

“Really? After that, I will live… … . thank you! Priscilla’s father!”

Rosé really commits that. But everyone seemed to think that it was like Rosé, so he didn’t look too surprised.

even that emperor.

“Ha ha ha ha ha! okay! Priscilla’s father! nice to hear yes! ha ha ha!”

“is it so? Father Priscilla! Father Priscilla! Father Priscilla! Father Priscilla!”

… … No, shouldn’t it dry?

While I was thinking about that, Pie came over and put a hand on Rosé’s shoulder.

“Rosé, what happened to the fruit of the World Tree you mentioned last time?”

“Priscilla Ah——is that so? Fortunately, it’s ripe enough! But is Priscilla’s father really sick? Do you look correct?”

Rose’s words made sense.

Even now, isn’t the emperor in a very healthy state right in front of you?

“After learning that Amon’s curse was the cause, I called the priests and injected divine power into His Majesty’s body every morning. Even if your illness isn’t completely cured, you can now hide your appearance.”

“It is as she said. The visible part could have been changed somehow… … My body is still thin.”

After saying that, the emperor slowly untied the front of his clothes.

At the same time, the emperor’s skinny body appeared.

The emperor was so skinny that his ribs were clearly visible.

“Honestly, even now I am very thirsty and hungry. But, how can I wait while eating when my daughter has arrived?”

“… … dad.”

Tears began to form in Priscilla’s eyes as she stared blankly at the emperor’s body.

Emotions seemed to burst as the situation unfolded in front of my eyes, which had not been approached by words alone.

“Don’t cry. Still, didn’t you and your friend bring the cure? Thank you very much.”

When he removed the glove that was covering his hand, the emperor’s bony hand was revealed.

And the emperor wipes Priscilla’s eyes with his hand.

Rosé, who was watching the scene whimpering from the side, hurriedly took out the ‘world tree staff’ from her waist.

“Priscilla! Do not worry! Because my aunt said that if I had this, I would get better right away!”

Small berries dangling from the tip of a staff.

Those precarious figures are likely to fall any moment, but is it because they are the trees of the World Tree? It had the property of never falling off unless the user took it off.

“… … This is the fruit of the World Tree.”

“yes! that’s right. You should eat and get well… … !”

Rosé takes one of the dangling berries and hands it to Pi.

The emperor, who carefully received the fruit, stared blankly at the fruit, then alternately looked at the rosé and the pie.

“Thank you very much, I owe a great debt to your clan.”

Then, the emperor shoveled the fruit into his mouth as if taking a pill.

“… … How are you? your majesty.”

Pie carefully looks at the emperor and inquires about his condition.

The emperor, who had been sitting blankly without saying anything, opened his mouth slowly.

“… … It’s delicious.”

“yes? Is that the end?”

“Yeah, aside from that, your hunger and thirst are definitely decreasing. Ha, really… … .”

A really stupid ending.

A small tree fruit had cured the curse that had made the emperor’s body sick.

“Can I check on you for a minute?”

“However much. If not you, who else will look after my condition?”

Pai, slowly approaching the emperor, examines the emperor’s true veins.

“Obviously, Mac is back to normal. Are you Raphael? Could you take a look at His Majesty’s condition?”

“It is not difficult.”

Raphael, who had been observing the situation from behind, also came over and put his hand on the Emperor’s back.

“Well, the magi continues to fade, the curse will be completely lifted within today.”

“… … Good luck.”

The Emperor sighed in relief after hearing Raphael’s words.

“Your Majesty, you will need an absolute recovery from now on. As you have been weak for a long time, rest is the priority.”

“But I still haven’t found the one who cursed me. Can I stay still?”

The emperor murmured as he clenched his bony hands. Then, Priscilla naturally covered his arm from the side.

“Do not worry. We will take care of that.”

“… … Priscilla, you mean?”

Priscilla shook her head at the emperor’s question.

“No, we are.”

“yes! Let’s find the culprit together! So, get some rest!”

Seeing the two people burning with strong enthusiasm, the emperor looks worried.

“Wouldn’t that be too dangerous?”

“It’s a party with only the archangel, the archangel, and trustworthy kids from the summoner academy. could be dangerous is not it? Gregory.”

An arrow suddenly bent towards me.

Still, when I thought that the sick man in front of me was Priscilla’s father, I thought it would be okay to comfort him.

“Don’t worry. Emperor, it is enough for you to simply support us from behind.”

“… … If Raphael and you say so, then I will believe you.”

“Good idea. Emperor.”

“Okay then, Your Majesty. Since the treatment is over, I will take you to your bed. Come with me.”

“… … do it I’m suddenly so sleepy. I should go and rest.”

The emperor let out a long yawn and stood up from his seat, as if the influx of horses had begun.

“I still can’t believe that I can sleep without feeling hungry. Again, thank you very much.”

“Dad, be careful.”

“Father Priscilla! Leave it to us and rest in peace!”

The emperor walks out of the room while being greeted by the two. Then, before leaving the room, Pi turned his head to look at me.

“… … Are you really okay? The opponent is the one who aimed at Your Majesty without anyone knowing. He won’t be an ordinary opponent, so if you need help, please come to me anytime.”

“Remember.”

“… … thank you.”

Just like that, the two of us completely left the room, leaving only the four of us in the room.

“Priscilla’s father, he is a very nice man.”

“Yes? lol… … . Ah, just in case you didn’t know, Rosé, can’t you address Your Majesty like that in public?”

“… … I know that!”

did you know?

… … You’ve grown up.

“We’ll be back soon, too. Rose, you’ll be very busy to move from tonight.”

“Ah yes! Then Priscilla! We’ll go back to our rooms too!”

“Yes, rest in peace. Rosé. Gregory.”

Yes, you should get some rest.

It’s going to be really busy from the evening.
