You hear a human voice at the entrance of the villa, and a troubled-looking young attendant comes in.

'Your Highness, Master Josephine said you met with her. I refused to meet him, saying that he was in the middle of a tea party with the Fortress, but he insisted on now.

'Sister Josephine?　That's unusual.

　Beate rolled Ruby's eyes.
　She and Josephine were the princesses born to the second queen, and she was her half-sister.　
　Their rapport was not acrimonious, but neither was it good, and when they had a chance to see each other, they only greeted each other in a civil manner.
　She has never been invited to a tea party, never been invited to a tea party, and doesn't recall being intruded upon in this way.
　The best way to describe our relationship was "nothing".

'Oh well. Show me in.

Are you sure you want to do that?

　The maidservants were puzzled.
　No matter how much of an imperial princess she was, it would be insane to force her to come to another imperial princess' tea party.
　There was no reason to be blamed for prodding them, so they should prod them.
　It is not a good idea to be a good friend.

'Because it looks interesting.

Ha, ha. ......

　The young maidservants were reminded once again that the free-spirited Imperial Lady could think outrageous ideas to any extent.
　Zenda sighed as if she had given up, Sidonier smiled amusedly, Val gasped, "It's very much like Princess Beate," and Meena did not lose her cool expression.
　If Beate is good, then the maidservant will have to be included.
　With an expression that said she had no choice, she returned to the entrance and returned with Josephine.
　Josephine turned nineteen this year, and at one hundred and seventy centimeters tall, she is tall for a woman.
　Her loosely wavy blonde hair stretches to her shoulders, and her slit green eyes give the impression of being sharp and strong-willed.
　She was Adrienne's own sister, who had recently become the crown prince, and she was acquainted with Val.

''I'm sorry for being so abrasive, Beate. Thank you for your willingness to accommodate me.''

　She made an unusual bow to her sister, apologizing and thanking her.

'I was wondering what has happened to you, my serious sister Josephine.

　Beate smiled and accepted her worship with a smile.

'I really wanted to thank Bartholomeus and Vilhemina for brother Adrienne.

　Josephine dropped her gaze downward as if she was bummed.
　Her mannerisms were low and soft for a princess, probably due to the influence of the second queen.
　It made sense to Meena that she was Adrienne's own sister.

''Val rarely appears before the royal family, and Meena doesn't mind ignoring the orders of the royal family. I can understand how your sister feels.''

　Beate could understand that he thought the best chance was when Val and Meena were at the Imperial Castle together.
　Of course, they are also the same.
　I'm sure it's in Josefine's character to go in person, even though she's in a position to just say thank you with a single letter.

It is true. Josefine Regen Schleswig would like to take this opportunity to thank you both.

　She gives her full name to both of them and salutes them.

'I humbly accept.'

　Val and Meena responded with a salute.

'Thank you. It's a huge weight off your shoulders.'

　Josephine smiles happily.

'I'm sorry to be in the middle of a tea party. Excuse me.

　She said and left.

'It's hard to tell whether she's polite and sincere or proud and pushy.

　Meena gives her thoughts on Josephine.

"That's all His Highness Josephine.

　Val replied with a shrug.
　He had no idea that the honorable point of thanking someone of low status or trying to meet them in person would be ruined if he pushed them away without taking their convenience into account.
　That was Josephine, and she was not the only one.

Most people get carried away with the honor and pleasure of being thanked directly by the royal family and don't care about being barged in, but after all, they don't get it with Val and Wilhemina.

　Beate says, smiling.
　'I hope you're not amused by that,' it says on Zenda's face, but she ignores it.
　'To begin with, royalty is a status that is allowed without consideration for the other party's convenience.
　The only people who can't get through are the emperor and his consort, the older brothers and sisters.
　The youngest of the brothers and sisters, Beate, is the youngest of the brothers and sisters, and there is no problem with Yagami Akira, who is positioned as a vassal of the emperor.
　That is the general view.
　Most of them didn't realize that the Emperor was having a stomachache over this matter.
