5. The Most Important Thing (Part 1) [Elizabeth's Perspective]

 At first glance, it felt like the air was flowing as usual at the royal palace. If there is no tense look, everyone greets you with a smile.
 I looked at my father face to face.
 
 In other words, an incident of such magnitude that it cannot be revealed to the public yet has occurred.
 Grabbing my trembling hand tightly, I took a small breath.
 Don't let anxiety grow before you check the situation. His Highness Vincent should be able to act calmly even at times like this.
 
 
 When I announced my visit, I was passed through the innermost room of the royal palace, the bedroom of His Majesty the King.
 That said, it's not the kind of room I sleep in, and there's a table and chairs for guests next to the bed. However, no one was sitting there, and the Queen and Prince Vincent were waiting for us standing upright.
 
 I've been to the royal palace several times, but this is the first time I've been to His Majesty the King's bedroom. It's just that it's a confidential story.
 A portrait of the Queen hangs on the wall near the bed. Her sharp face looks just like a real queen, and her mouth has a soft smile.
 My father unintentionally stared at me, but the Queen, who was standing next to me, didn't seem to be disturbed at all.
 If the person himself doesn't care, there's something like this...
 not.
 
 His Highness Vincent is staring at me with a surprised face. what do you want?
 When I gently tugged on the sleeve, my father made a surprised face and bent his waist.
 
"I received an offer and came here.... What the hell...?"
 
 I turned my gaze to the bed.
 His Majesty was lying there with a pale face.
 
"Let's skip greetings.His MajestyPapaplease wake up
 
 The Queen said so and pinched His Majesty's nose. Her Majesty's face with her eyes closed becomes grim.
 
"Uh... ugh"
"Ah, are you okay?"
"No problem. It's because of lack of magic that you're lying down now. I'll give you my magic, so I'll wake up after a while."
"I'm sorry for that, I imitated too much..."
"No, it's a normal feeling."
 
 The two of you must have a relationship as husband and wife, right?
 The fingertips of the Queen, who was pinching her nose, glowed pale. As soon as I thought that, His Majesty opened her eyes as he said.
 
 However, before hearing His Majesty's words, it was His Highness Vincent who stepped forward.
 A smile appeared on His Highness's face.
 However, it was something different than usual... A sharp gaze full of confidence and a smile that only lifted the corners of his mouth.
 While the usual highness is kind and tolerant, the current highness is rather ferocious in the depths of his elegance.
 
 A gloved hand took mine. As if meeting him for the first time, His Highness respectfully bent over and kissed the back of his hand.
 I was shocked to be looked up at with an upward glance... On the other hand, my heart was confused.
 Words told to spur that confusion.
 
"I thought it was like an angel had descended. It's not your fault that you hid such a beautiful young lady."
“V, His Highness Vincent…?”
 
 Looking for help, I could see Harold-sama, who was standing behind His Highness, tightly tightening his mouth. He has a sorrowful look on his face as he shrugs his shoulders.
 This is what-
 Towards me who was stunned, His Highness Vincent gave a sweet and charming smile.
 
"o・Les・Won't you marry me...if you don't mind, give me your name, lady?"

6. The Most Important Thing (Part 2) [Elizabeth's Perspective]

「――……」
 
 His Highness Vincent, who stood up, tilted his head and stared at me, whose head was completely white and unable to hold back words. His Highness's gaze and tone of voice are different from usual.
 
 To be honest, I have no idea what's going on...
 I have decided what to say.
 
 When I closed my eyes, I held my chest and took a small breath. He checks how he breathes.
 Strengthen your feet and maintain your posture.
 
"My name is Elizabeth La Montlievre, Your Highness Vincent. I am your fiancé and lover."
 
 In one breath, I looked straight at His Highness Vincent.
 Blue eyes filled with surprise.
 
"……fiance?"
"yes"
"lover……"
"That's right."
 
 I feel embarrassed when the parrot confirms it again, but I have Prince Vincent's approval, and this... even love, it's a physical thing. It would be disrespectful to His Highness if he wasn't dignified. While nodding strongly, I affirmed with words.
 His Highness Vincent folded his arms and put his hand on his chin, making a thoughtful face.
 
 And then a few seconds later.
 
“Is that so~~~~!!”
 
 … He held his head and crouched on the floor.
 Harold-sama, who is his attendant, immediately reached out his hand and made him stand up, but Harold-sama also lowered his head and his shoulders were trembling.
 
"Honestly, I wasn't worried about that, butlove・Re・rice field・Na"
"Even though he's my son, it's just a matter of trust and achievements."
 
 The Queen is also nodding her head by His Majesty the King.
 So, once again, I asked His Majesty the King and the Queen who was trimmed by His Majesty.
 
"Just what happened to His Highness...?"
"Actually, the magic beast that was sealed in the basement of the royal palace has revived."
 
 Answering my question, the Queen begins to speak.
 
"It's a demonic beast that attacked our country twenty years ago. My Majesty and I combined our magical powers to seal it. Just when I thought I had to strengthen the seal, it seemed to have broken."
"Well..."
“The summoning of Rath-dono must have been the trigger.
"I'm sorry about that."
 
 I deeply bowed my head. Lars-sama's current master is me, and even though he protects me as a holy dragon now, it's my fault that Lars-sama has fallen into an evil dragon.
 If you look, Lars-sama is hiding his body under his tail and trembling. ……I once had a day in the care of the Queen, but it seems she was very scared.
 Next to Lars-sama, His Highness Vincent is still crouching, holding his head.
 
“No, it’s not Miss Elizabeth’s fault.
"However, His Majesty's physical condition is..."
"That has nothing to do with Miss Elizabeth. After the seal was sealed, it was His Majesty who interrupted me to show my good side even though my magic power was enough."
"Because that would only put a burden on you, Mariabelle."
"In the end, you're the only one who can sleep, aren't you? I told you that you'll be old in twenty years, so you have to take that into account, Gaius. No, I got off topic."
 
 The Queen clears her throat and points to Prince Vincent.
 
“It seems that the resurrected magic beast met Vincent first. And according to Harold, who was by his side,one・turn・Big・cut・na・and・of・of・stomach・rice field・is・nine・said
"The most important thing..."
 
 I ruminated on those words.
 And and.
 I could clearly see for myself that my face, which I had tried so hard to keep calm, was turning red.
 His Highness Vincent also pouted his lips and turned away.
 
"In Vincent's memory, it seems that all matters relating to Miss Elizabeth have been sealed."
 
 The Queen continued to explain the situation so heartlessly that she could slash those two with a single stroke of the sword.
