18 Episode 18: Baroness Truth
"How was this outing? Mother."
"Yep. I extended my legs further from my neighbor this time..."
Enjoy conversation time with your mother until the time of sight. It is interesting, and above all I like, to convey and listen to the scenery, lifestyle, skills and culture that I have seen on the outing, although I am a tough mother. Because all this time, my mother also relaxes a little and speaks to rap.
Time passed instantly that Ilia was interested in a conversation with the tea she prepared for me, and it was time for a glimpse.
"Silphine, Anisphere. Time."
"Oh, you already are. See you next time, Anis."
"Yes, Mother"
My father and I are here to join the family and go to see each other. The number of people between the sights is minimal, and the escort is full of his father's belly, starting with the Knights of Sprout.
As he waits with his spine stretched so as not to be ashamed of himself as a royalty, the two figures are passed between the sights.
One is a big man. Characterized by sharp gray eyes on dark brown hair, the body is disappointed.
The figure is a sweeping word. Such a man is dressed in an aristocratic style, which makes him look rudely out of place. He is Baron Cyan. It's a convincing appearance when you hear you're an adventurer originally.
And next to it. It was Raini Sian, the young lady who was next to Al Kun at a party at the Aristocratic Academy, who came in to walk behind Baron Sian's step.
Grey eyes that tend to lay low on glossy dark hair. She is a more luxurious girl who is more accentuated if arranged next to Baron Cyan.
First of all, the impression I feel is very flashy, and my face is full of worry because of how depressed I am. Perfect when it comes to the beautiful girl of thin fortune.
"Baron Cyan. And her daughter, Raini. Well done."
Father speaks to Baron Cyan and Miss Raini, who knelt down. Baron Cyan, still kneeling, looked nervous and seemed to feel sorry for this one watching. It looks like such a big body is shrinking small.
"Raise your face, allow me to speak"
"Ha! My wonder daughter is so rude this time! Please, forgive me!
Baron Cyan kept his head deeply bowed, even though he told me how desperate it was to look up and be good. I think I'm going to be in the dirt now. Baron Cyan is begging, as he pleads, with a voice commensurate with his physique.
Though Father frowned a little, he promptly returned his expression and again urged Baron Cyan to raise his head.
"Easy, Baron Cyan. This time we set up a seat to shed light on the truth. Without knowing the truth, I'm not going to blame anyone for their sins. Take it easy first."
"... Ha, excuse me. Your Majesty's words, very stained."
The expression remained tense, but Baron Cyan finally looked up to me. I can see from wherever you look at it, it's tedious. Baron Cyan is in a hard position too, given his position. Though it may not be different from your father's in terms of his father's hardship.
I don't get such a bad impression on Baron Cyan. The line that my parents were poorly educated also disappeared in me. With that in mind, I turn my gaze from Baron Cyan to Miss Raini. I still don't see Miss Raini's expression on her knees.
"There were aspects of Algard's and Uphilia's broken engagement that were more difficult to navigate than they were. Algard approached his daughter and exchanged feelings."
"It's a hell of a thing when you think about your identity. The concubine still hasn't thought about pushing her legitimate fiancée..."
"So you think Algard said it unilaterally?
"I won't say that. Indeed, my daughter Raini was sometimes adopted, and there were aspects of her education as a nobleman that were inadequate. Sometimes the college seems to annoy the prince's hands because of the deficiencies, but it is thanks for the assistance that we had..."
"But Algardo was driven by outrage for Miss Raini and stood by the break-up and impeachment of her engagement. This is not true. I don't think there's any love left."
Baron Cyan has shrunk his shoulders in a frightened manner. Father shifts his gaze from Baron Cyan to Miss Raini.
"Raini Sian. Raise your face."
Slowly Miss Raini looks up. I can't see the color of my emotions because I'm nervous about my expression, because it's going to disappear now. I can't feel the light so much that those eyes even seem as if they were a void.
What an adorable lady to look at again. I'm also convinced that if this humorous atmosphere disappears and smiles, a man will be blinded.
She is certainly a beautiful girl with a different colour than Yufi. I just don't think I'm a person to be honest with. Even if they say it's a doll, they might believe it for a moment.
"Allow me to speak. To be frank... didn't your Lord have feelings for Algard?
Father asks frankly. The attention of the venue gathers to Miss Raini, in which Miss Raini opens her mouth without shaking her expression.
"- No."
That, my voice.
I doubted my ears for a moment with such a beautiful voice. That's enough to put me in the illusion that I've been ruled over this place.
"... it's a hell of a thing. I don't think I can afford to be like that. I preferred Master Algard, if I didn't say so, it would be a lie. But I never meant to darken the future of the royal family."
Everyone hears a good talking voice. I'm just saying that I can't miss the way Miss Raini lays her eyes down, or even the movement of her lips that trembled just to exhale.
How much silence would have lasted. My father, who made me jump on his shoulder like I was getting back on my mind, coughs.
"... well. I don't think you're lying to me."
discomfort. Such a feeling spreads, like a thin membrane stretched between perceptions.
Nobody says anything to Father's words, and he lowers his gaze so that he can't help it.
It's as if Miss Raini isn't bad, she's going to admit it. The air is spreading.
"- BOOKSHONG!!"
My nose itched and I sneezed as much as I wanted.
In another sense, the place quiets back down. The gaze concentrates from Miss Raini to me. Oh, no, my mother has a great smile. This could die later.
Baron Cyan is looking at me with his eyes round, and Miss Raini is opening her mouth to surprise. I also saw my father stand up at ease. My shoulders are trembling heavily.
"... Anis... the guy named you... everywhere...!
"Chi, chi! Father! Forgive me for speaking! I have something to say to you, Anisphere!
"I wouldn't ask if it was an explanation!
"It's not! Please, I need some time!
"Yeah, you want a nose too!
"I'd like some time to talk to Miss Raini!
"What no...?
All of a sudden my father glances at me with his eyes just saying what to say. But I can't pull all this off either. If it's a mistake or a concern, that's fine.
But if my remaining discomfort and hiccups are correct, I can't leave them alone. First of all, I can't help but not understand the situation. For that reason, I want to be alone with Miss Raini to confirm something.
"Father. Please believe me. It's not all a joke, it's not a witch's game."
"... is it too much for you to say? Can't we find out more here?
"Because I don't have any certainty yet..."
Father staring into my face and silencing. Both Baron Cyan, Miss Raini and the head of the Sprout Knights, who was on the escort, have a bewildered look at me.
You may, Your Majesty.
"Silphine?"
"I believe in anise intuition. I think it's only a matter of time before she wants time."
"But... ugh. Can't we even have someone present?
"Yes, please just the two of us. I have no intention of causing any harm. We'll be prepared to punish you for your lawlessness once you've confirmed it."
"... ok. Let me show you two to the separate room. Is that all right?
"Thank you"
Look, I exhale and stroke my chest down. After thanking his father, he also sends his gaze to his mother to be silent. My mother didn't say anything, she just nodded small.
You couldn't keep up with the situation on the field, Baron Cyan and Miss Raini are just gazing at me. I walk up to Miss Raini like that and give her my hand.
"Miss Raini, give me your hand. I'd like to take a moment."
"Ah... ha..."
Miss Raini stands up flashly as she takes my hand in a frightened manner. Leave the room as you escort her. Soon Ilia followed me and opened the door.
Keep going into a separate room in the nearby area, with Miss Raini in the guest room. Encourage me to exit the room to the Ilia that followed me, make sure the door closes and exhale.
"... Um"
Miss Raini looks at me without even trying to hide her anxiety. Let go of the hand you were holding, take a step away, and then smile.
"Suddenly I'm sorry, I really need to check something out."
"Confirm…?
"Let me look into you a little bit."
"... Um, I didn't really do anything...!
Turn your complexion blue and Miss Raini steps back. I don't know what I'm going to do, and I know full well that I'm scared of fear.
To be honest, I know her mental burden is enormous. But I can't snort.
"I want you to trust me to prove it.... Oh, no. I understand you don't believe me. This is an order from the princess. I'll check on you, I know it's lame. I'll apologize later. But if we don't clear you up here, we'll put you at a disadvantage."
"... no..."
"I just need to get back to you. All right?
"... Yes"
Miss Raini leaked her desperate voice and leaned down. And around her back, gently crawling her fingers on her back.
"Heh, heh, what?
"Shut up. Because I won't do anything."
"So, but..."
Ignore Miss Raini's reaction. Slowly crawl her fingertips through her body. He crawls through his spine, shoulders to arms, and fingers in turn to focus his consciousness.
"... excuse me"
"Hia!?"
The next thing I turned my hand around was her chest. He touches his chest with his fingers as he presses her from behind to keep Miss Raini from moving, who screamed adorably.
"... hmm, I see. That's enough."
Untie the hand that was restrained from behind and release Miss Raini. Miss Raini is looking at me with tears as she retreats to hold her body tight. It was going to make me cry now.
Even though it was necessary, he stirred up a sense of crisis by touching his chest. A little awkward, but I exhale.
"- Huh!"
He slaps his killer like a sew between breaths and grabs it for her neck. Miss Raini flaunted herself for being suddenly shocked to death and resisted anything.
I don't grab her neck and snap... I stop right in front of her and look at Miss Raini's complexion. Turning bright blue, she fell to the spot with her legs trembling as they were.
"Hmm, totally silo, I guess. Then…"
"Hey, what is it!? What do you want! Why, I look at you like this...!
Wow, Miss Raini finally cried out. I look down at her covering her face with both hands and then I try to get on my knees and gaze at Miss Raini.
"I made you cry. What am I gonna say, but I need you to listen to me a little more. I want to know about your parents."
"... my father is not involved in anything. Even I'm up to something...!
"Uh, no. No, but no. There's more to what I want to make sure! Oh, why are you so troublesome already?"
I scream out of anger by accident. Keep sighing and speak to Miss Raini again.
We have to make sure that all this is going on. Including her safety in the future.
"- Do you realize you're not human?
Baron Lady Raini Sian. She is not a "pure person".
"... human, not...?
Miss Raini's voice is trembling. It's like saying you don't understand what they said.
I don't even know what it feels like. But seeing Miss Raini convinced me. Miss Raini shook her neck from left to right as she was convinced that I was serious because I did not stray from my gaze and stared straight at her.
"Oh no... I am human! Consciousness, what, what are you talking about!?"
"So that's unconscious too?
"What is it?
"It's fascinating."
Miss Raini's eyes open wide to my point. Zero small voices, I'm holding my breath.
"Is it intrinsic to mental interference, the use of magic? I have a little knowledge of that hand thing. I don't know if it's to this extent because I'm unconscious, or if it's leaking because I'm unconscious..."
"... me, isn't that normal?
She inquired as Miss Raini exhaled a trembling exhalation as she remembered to breathe. I nod strongly at Miss Raini's inquiry and show her.
"Yeah. Definitely weird."
"Bye! Isn't it a coincidence that you've been able to turn a hot gaze on people of all ages?!?"
"Ugh, yeah?
"Answer me! Is that because of its charm or something?!? Has it always been!? Could I have used it earlier?!?"
Miss Raini comes stuck to me with the momentum to get herself out. I nod and show again and again as I grip to take Miss Raini's hand, which has been stretched.
"No, I do all the time. I'm a little under the circumstances, and I'm intolerant of the magic of that hand..."
"Is that true!?"
It was such a desperate phase that I nodded momentously and again. Then Miss Raini collapsed like she had lost her leg power.
When I rushed to support Miss Raini aggressively, Miss Raini started crying out loud. I was wolfed by Miss Raini, who suddenly cried out.
"What, hey, why are you crying!?"
"Because... I was... crazy...! They weren't all weird...... hey...! Wow, ahhh...!!"
"Hey, wait a minute......! (a) Iliar! HELP!!"
Having had trouble with Miss Raini, who suddenly cried out, I summoned Ilia, who was waiting outside the room, to calm Raini down with Ilia and the two of us.
Miss Raini sits in a calm manner as she buzzes her nose. Ilia is removing makeup beautifully because the tears have broken her makeup.
"... have you calmed down?
"Yes... sorry for the disturbance"
It's rare for Ilia to speak up like she cares, but I feel like I've chewed up a bitter bug.
Miss Raini's "charm" influence is very troublesome. Even if he is unconscious, he has propagated it around him. Of course, not with Ilia. It's more troublesome than I thought.
"That's above all.... So, Princess, can you explain?
"Uh, okay. Well, then, Miss Raini, I'd like to make a few checks. Is that okay?
Many times Miss Raini nods like a child to my confirmation. That's a lot of honesty, and I'm going to ask you a question.
"First of all, have you ever been liked or unusually obsessed with people for a long time?
"Yes......"
"You didn't realize it was happening"
"I didn't know. Everyone likes me, but I get a little crazy, and I get so scared when I try to get my distance, I have to keep my distance..."
Miss Raini's voice was trembling to the point where she was about to cry out again. That makes me feel the depth of the trauma Miss Raini has been experiencing. Too much sadness makes me choose words for boulders, too.
"Well... as hard as I may recall, your mother is dead, isn't she?
"... Yes. So I was kept in an orphanage and my father found me..."
"Oh well..."
I accidentally arm myself with a difficult face. I blink my eyes like Ilia says it's rare, but from the bottom of my heart I'm in trouble, exactly now.
"... Um, Princess Anisphere. I'm not human..."
"Oh, yeah. To be precise, I think maybe half human, is right."
"How can you say it is?
It was Ilia, not Miss Raini, who returned the question to my reply. I answer immediately.
"I was just allowed to palpate Miss Raini's body. I found something in Miss Raini's body that no ordinary human being has."
"... what happened?
- It's a demon stone.
Demon Stone. That is what is present in Miss Raini's body. Raini also rounded his eyes in my reply, and Ilia looked at Raini as surprised.
That's a natural reaction. Speaking of which, I wonder if Ilia and I had just talked about that before. By chance, what is the time to say it?
"What is Demon Stone... is it true?
"Yeah. If you want to find out more, I want time, but I have a great idea. Good thing my investigation caught on. Miss Raini's life and this country were in danger if we were bad hands."
"On my body, is there a demon stone...?
Miss Raini said she couldn't believe it. Looking down at her own body with her face. Demon stones can also prove to be demons. How shocked is Miss Raini that she was told that such a thing was in her body? I don't think I can figure it out for you.
"... so the princess decided Miss Raini wasn't human?
"I'm staring at you for being half human, to be exact. Baron Cyan would definitely be human, wouldn't he? And suppose that's a real demon, it's pretty unsavory. It tastes so bad that I'm in a hurry. It tastes so bad that I admire myself for being here."
When I told him to push again and again, he tightened his face to see if Ilaria had also told him that I was in crisis.
A human with a demonic stone in his body. Power enough to unconsciously attract others. What do you say without calling this dangerous? And I know there's such a dangerous demon in my mind. And if it's real, it's pretty unsavory.
"... Princess, what is that demon?
Ilia has asked as she swallowed up the tension. I suppose you care about yourself, Miss Raini, and you're turning your gaze to me.
I gave the two of them an answer, painfully and slowly exhaling.
"-" Vampires. "It's an ogre monster who sips people's blood and manipulates advanced magic."
