99 Quiet Story Part 27 - Walking To Stay, Lightning F...




 Alford was told that Juke had asked Mrs. Magnom if he could have a party with his entourage to thank them for their devotion and to honor them. Alford was told on the night that he had inadvertently approached Rita that Juke had consulted Mrs. Magnum, "preferably before the end of the season.

Why all of a sudden?
I have no right to be involved in the palace now. The Red Rose has good advice. ......, though, Alford.

 Slowly, thoughtfully, Juke speaks.

"I don't know the faces of most of the ladies. Shayla, the Red Rose. The rest are the four "named". ...... There are a few other noblemen that I do remember.

 He exhaled deeply before saying, "I can find out their names, family names, and family accomplishments from the records.

The face, the personality. That's the only thing you can't remember or judge without meeting them in person.
...... So you want the chance to meet all of them?
Yes. ...... No, there's that too.

 I'm not sure what to make of that.

But more than that, I think maybe I want to do something.
It's ......?
"To the palace. I'm not qualified to do anything. I know I'm not qualified to do ...... anything, but I can't help but do something.

 The words he squeezed out were full of bitterness.

I know. After all I've done, the Red Roses would be better off without me ...... in their midst. If you truly, deeply regret your actions, you should do nothing and remain silent.
Juke: ......
It's arrogance to try and think you can do something. When they really needed a king, it was the Red Rose that saved them. Who would have thought that after all these years?

 The "past" that Juke faced was too heavy. To be fair, it was also the reason why Diana ended up in the palace.
 As smart as he is, and as much as he wants to be straightforward, it must be unimaginably painful for him to realize the tragedy of his own stupidity.

I thought about it over and over again. I thought and thought that the best thing to do was to do nothing.
Then why did you--?
...... I must be... Because I'm so stupid.

 Juke's mockery was uncharacteristic of him.

I know it's for the best, but I can't ignore the voice in my head. --I know it's for the best, but I can't ignore the voice deep inside me telling me that nothing will ever be the same.

 The words fell quietly and heavily, and Alford gulped.

 I'm not sure what to make of that.
 The future, which is in a state of self-imposed bondage due to a sense of guilt, has concluded that the best thing to do is to do nothing, and is silent.

 --It is true that, from the outside, the king's refusal to have anything to do with the palace has not changed.

"...... I think, Alford. Perhaps you want to change. I've met Shayla, the Red Rose has scolded me, you've yelled at me. You taught me to think for myself, and I want to think. It's much, much more fulfilling now that I'm constantly confused than before when I had a fixed answer.

 Alford couldn't think of anything to say in response to Juke's unusually quiet words.

It's fun to think, and as a result of thinking, you come face to face with your past foolishness, even if you don't like it. ...... I regret my past and my present to the point of wanting to kill myself. --But still, I don't want to go back to the old days when things were easy. I just can't.
"How hard can it be, ......?
"Cover your ears, close your eyes. Close your ears, close your eyes and reject your foolishness. Then you'll be free of all this pain for sure.

 Chuckling, Juke looked straight at Alford.

You said it yourself, Alford.
"I ......?
"The day of the garden party. I tried to reject the Red Rose's words, that straightforward admonition, and you told me.

I'm not going to let you do that. I'm not going to be able to do anything about it. What are you, a child?

 That's right. Indeed, said Alford. He was hoping to dissuade Juke from throwing a childish tantrum.
 Thinking about it, that was the first time he'd ever really gone out with Juke.

"I'm a fool. I'm a fool. I'm the worst person who ever cared about the Red Rose. Turning a blind eye to that reality won't change anything.

 --and.

"Because I want to change. And because I want to change, I know that I must never turn away from my foolishness, no matter how painful it may be.

 And there you are.
 There he was, a young man, weak but determined to live, with his feet on the ground.

 He didn't want to change because he realized that he was stupid.


 But when I learned the joy of "thinking", which had been forbidden in my life, and the satisfaction of moving myself, I felt that I was happy. The reason is that I sincerely thought that such a daily life of thinking and making decisions by myself was happier, though more painful, than a life based on "answers.
 I wished to change, to become a person who could think for himself more and more.

 I wanted to change.
 Juke's wish is strong and unshakable because it is based on positive emotions.
 Even if he finds himself at the bottom of the list. Even if you find yourself at your worst.
No matter how painful it is, Juke will not deny himself and will face it.
 --Believing that there will be a new "change" after facing it.

 I didn't realize that there was so much strength hidden within Juke.
 The man he is now may look infinitely more frail than when he was desperately trying to be a king, but there is no sense of danger or fragility.
 It's definitely there, and it's alive.

I'm not sure what to make of that. ...... I want to face it. I want to know about the palace and the side chambers, face them, and think for myself what I should do from now on. --I'd like to be done with leaving it up to the Red Rose and only receiving reports and thinking I know what I'm doing.
"That's why I wanted to create an opportunity to get involved as the ...... 'king'. Is that what you thought?
I guess I'll have to start by putting a face to the name.

 You are painfully aware of the fact that you are stupid and unqualified to do anything, but you still want to face it.
 --I'm going to have to swallow everything that seems selfish.

 Who can deny a king who is so determined to go forward?

 Alford nodded slowly and loudly.

I know what Juke's thinking. What do you want me to do?
You're going to help me with ......?
To be honest, it's a bit of a long shot, considering the timing and all.

 Currently, the "Red Rose Extremists" are running amok.
 In the event you're not sure what's going on behind the scenes, it's possible that the king and his entourage will suddenly gather for a special event. I can't keep up with what kind of impact a sudden event like that would have on everyone.
 I'm sure Juke is aware of this. He nodded with a difficult expression.

That's what I was thinking. But in another month, the social season will be over, and those who are active in the administration of the realm will leave King's Landing. Among the Named, House Crester and House Kiel are the ones who usually settle in the realm.
Oh, I see.

 In the event that you've got a lot of money, you'll be able to use it to buy a lot of things. Regardless of what the Cresters will do now that Deanna is in the palace.
 Unaware of Alford's inner thoughts, Juke spoke his mind.

I will be discussing with Madame Magnum what form the event will take. It would be undesirable in terms of influence on the nobility to hold the event after the season is over, as it might give the king a chance to show his respect for the court.
"...... I see. So, before the season is over.
"Of course, I will take into consideration the current situation in the palace. I'll be in close contact with Madame Magnum and we'll schedule the event to coincide with the Red Roses' investigation.
"You mean ......, after we have some idea of the movements of the people we need to watch out for and, if possible, resolve the situation?
I'll ask Mrs. Magnum and the Red Rose for their opinions, and if they don't agree, I'll think again.
Yeah, that's a good idea.

 Alford's hunch is that, knowing this Juke's determination, Mrs. Magnom and of course Diana will not object. I mean, basically, the people of the Cresters don't say this or that about the actions of the King from a public standpoint. The current Diana is quite irregular and on the edge of the line.
 If Juke was just rushing in without thinking, I would stop him, but if he has thought this through and made a decision after much consideration and preparation, she will be ready to stand still. That's a scary thing, though.

 After that, Alford became Juke's handmaiden, connecting him with the outer court and dealing with Master Magnum, and running around to take charge of Juke's idea of the "Star-Gazing Banquet". The outer court, which was busy assisting the inner court, also helped out whenever they could. You can find a lot more information on the website at ....... If it's so hard to organize an unofficial event where the king and his entourage only get together and the procedures are simplified, what kind of war was it to prepare for the garden party that came out of nowhere in the fall?
 As Madame Magnom reported to me about the backstage of the Red Rose extremists' rampage, which was quickly becoming clear, I really thought that the current palace ladies were much more capable than inferior officials.
 All that was left was to get all the people involved and grab the tail. As I entered the final stage.

 --The sudden silence of the enemy gave him an inexplicable creepy feeling.

 As a sword wielder, Alford has a habit of unconsciously measuring the strength of his opponents. The reason why he has acquired this habit, which is not necessary if he is just a knight in the peaceful kingdom of Ergeland, is because there was definitely an impostor in his life who was a monster in ability, but was wearing a mask.
 What he felt was an uncanny transformation, as if the enemy, who until a few days ago was the one being hunted, had suddenly transformed into the one who was eating him.
 It wasn't that she was pretending to be on the side of the hunted. When Deanna had reached the mastermind behind the mastermind, Normard Ortier, they had no countermeasures.
 Then, suddenly. Perhaps with some help from somewhere.
 They've turned into beings that "eat" us.

What to do about the star gazing feast? Both Juke and Madame Magnum were forced to make a difficult decision, as they had already notified their entourages. If they cancelled the event at this point, it would be like announcing to the world that there was a problem in the palace. If they made a bad move, it might bring up other problems as well as the "enemy" that is now being revealed.
 In the end, I decided to hold the banquet as planned, betting that their silence meant that they were at least not prepared to take any action. No matter what each one of them was planning outside the palace, if the communication with the inside was thoroughly restricted, at least Bell, the perpetrator, would not be able to do anything. That's what I thought.

 --I realized that I was naive on the day of the "Star Gazing Banquet". Most of the entourage had already gathered in the courtyard for the feast, and all that was left was to wait for the high-ranking entourage and the king.

 A substance that appeared to be poisonous was mixed into Shayla's meal.
 Juke's face instantly turned from blue to white when he heard the shocking news through Madame Magnum.

 Juke, who was thinking of Shayla, would not want to think about the future of her death.
 But at the same time. It's not like he's going to be able to stop the banquet that's already been held to honor his wife and her family. He knows that very well now. I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot more information on this in the future. That's why he can't do it.


 The least Juke could do. The least Juke could do was to instruct Master Magnum to destroy Shayla's table.

 It was not desirable for the leader of the King's Kingsguard, who was a member of the official entourage, to be present at an informal banquet between the King and his entourage. Therefore, after seeing off the pathetic face of Juke, Alford waited near the courtyard, inquiring about the state of the courtyard. In the courtyard is Diana and her friends. She is the pride of the Crester family, more kind-hearted and wise than anyone else, and no matter what happens, she will not let anyone die in this palace. Itching for something that he could do nothing but wait and trust, Alford kept his mind on the courtyard.
 The stage was heating up. The scheduled performance had passed.
 Just as he looked up to see if the show was about to end, he felt a disturbing presence.

 After the screams, there was a buzzing of voices.
 And then, drowning them all out, an uncommon scream filled with fear.

 Before I could think, "What?
 --I felt a fear, not of logic, but of instinct, a fear that made the blood fall from my body.

 Alford knows what it means, he's never felt it before.
 He knew that he had never felt such a thing before, but he knew what it meant: a mortal danger to someone he cared about.

"Al!

 I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you have.

"Diana!
"What's wrong?
What happened? Deanna ate it!

 Despair overcame me at the simple news of the 'worst'.
 If anything should happen to Deanna... "Why?

"Why? Why are they?

 It's a vague question because you can't give the name of the Darkness when you don't know who's listening.
 As expected, the future Countess of Crestor understood in an instant.

I was looking for something at the order of the head of the family. Some of them seemed to be waiting near the courtyard.
Then why?
I don't know! They couldn't move, and neither could I. ......

 --Yeah. Chris, who loves Deanna as his sister-in-law, was probably one of those who tried to stop Deanna's recklessness without regard for his own position.
 And yet... But no one could stop her.

 Chris shook his head again and again.

That's reckless. Even if you're good at analysis. Just because you're good at analysis. You're trying to cover everything!
...... How did that happen?
I'm sure you can guess.

 Yeah. When I heard that Shayla's food was laced with poison, I knew the worst that could happen.

 I'm sure that Diana tried to ruin the table as the Red Rose in order to protect Shayla.
 Perhaps that act was suspect. Or perhaps something happened after it was destroyed.
 --At the very least, the suspicion of poison has been raised. Otherwise, there was no need for Diana to eat Shayla's food. Diana, who is resistant to many poisons, eats Shayla's food and shows that she is safe, thus clearing her suspicion. That's what she would do.

 One of the worst things you can guess will come true.
 One of the worst things you can guess comes true, and you're desperate to get rid of the future it brings.

"Miss Deanna wouldn't simply choose suicide. If Miss Deanna dies here, no amount of time difference can clear her suspicions. She knows that, and she's not going to die no matter what, I promise you.
I know, I know, I know. I know, I know. ...... But I'm scared. People are fragile and fragile at the same time. No matter how much I pray, the Grim Reaper's scythe will not spare me.
"...... Chris.

 Alford only knew bits and pieces of what she was going through.
 Alford only knows bits and pieces of what she's going through, but he knows from Edward that Chris has mourned more than enough at her age. --He's tamed the loss, and he's clung to his sword so that he won't lose anything else.
 Taking a few more breaths, Chris raised his head.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. ...... I'm upset.
"No, no. I'm sorry I showed you something that scared you.
You don't have to apologize, Al. It was my choice. It was my job.

 Tell him briefly that Deanna has gone back to her room by arrangement with the king.
 Chris straightens his back and looks at Alford with a dignity befitting the head of a female knight order.

"The feast is about to end. I will meet you at the entrance of the courtyard.
"Thank you, Lord Commander Gracie.

 It wasn't long before I was back where I'd dropped Juke off.
 After a short wait, Juke returned with Madame Magnum, his face devoid of emotion.


 Alford nodded to Juke, who was about to open his mouth.

"Commander Gracie gave me a brief description of the situation.
I'm sorry to be so presumptuous, but I explained it to you.
Yes, I see. ......
I left the courtyard in the hands of my trusted maidservants and my 'namesake'.

 They gave each other a short report. Madame de Magnum said that the "valets" were probably all three of them except Liliane. They know everything that's going on, and if they can handle it, they should be able to handle this mess.
 Madame Magnum's eyes glittered sharply.

I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one. ...... Diana did indeed throw the table towards the pond, but there was a distance between Shayla's position and the pond. It's not natural for the food on the table to fall into the pond and for the fish to die out, realistically speaking.
That's .......
In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site. ...... He was also very good at making connections. I've been told that, so I've minimized the number of times the maidservants are involved in the feast. I don't want to give Bell's people any room to maneuver.

 The lady's eyes remained sharp with a slight hint of regret that she had not been able to serve the food in time.

And yet, strangely enough... --It was the maidservant who screamed that the fish was dead. I didn't make her stay there.

 A chilly voice. The stern but gentle Master Magnum was now...
 --Seriously, she's furious.

"Your Majesty. I'd like to take a moment of your time. You disobeyed His Majesty's wishes, wished for the death of an innocent, and thus endangered the Red Rose. And I, as the headmistress, will not tolerate that miscreant.

 The dignified voice pierced through the still immature youth of us.

As a nobleman in the service of this country, I will never forgive you.

 That is absolute and true pride. This was the absolute, true pride of Madame Magnom, who knew the duties of a noblewoman and was proud to have lived to fulfill them.
 The light returned to Juke's eyes. The strong and noble Master Magnom had the power to bring the stunned Juke back to reality.
With the face of a king, Juke nodded.

I'll leave it to you, Madame. Whatever you decide to do, find out who's hunting the Red Rose and get them to talk.
"Yes, Your Majesty.

 With a deep bow, Master Magnum walked back into the courtyard. Chris followed her, leaving Juke and Alford alone.

"Your Majesty. Would you like to return to the palace?
"Oh, ...... no.

 I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

"The ...... Red Rose.
"Your Majesty?
How is the Red Rose doing? How is the Red Rose doing after such a large meal?

 Not good, I thought. If the king ran to the Red Rose at this point. Even though the ladies are still in the courtyard, it's only a matter of time before they disperse.

"Your Majesty!

 A strong voice called out to Juke, who was about to make a move.
 He looked at Alford cautiously and shook his head.

"The Red Rose is not important.
"How do you know?

 I can't explain the 'Crester family situation' here. It's not like Deanna and the rest of her family have been accustomed to poisons since they were young, and as for her, she's an expert on the effects of plants and animals.
 Alford was silent for a moment, searching for words, but Juke seemed to take it in a different way.

Alford. Don't you dare try to comfort me with your comforting words.

 Oh, I can't see anything but ahead.
 Juke began to think, but it was difficult to overcome his habit of acting on his emotions when they boiled over overnight. He has been doing this for more than twenty years, though, so it can't be helped.
 Even if I wanted to grab him by the scruff of the neck from the inner palace to the royal office, I couldn't expect a miracle that no one would see me during the journey. Even if I tried to calm him down, Juke's head would never cool down unless he was convinced that Diana was not dangerous.

 I thought about it a lot. "I'll be pissed.
 Alford came up with a compromise.

"All right. Then at least. Can you at least take the long way around to a less populated area so that no one can see us?
Okay.
I'll show you the way.

 Alford, who had recently been visiting Madame Magnum in the inner palace as Juke's representative, had become quite familiar with the inner palace. Taking a long time and being careful not to be seen, Alford led Juke to the Red Rose Room.
 When he announced the king's visit from outside, a dark-haired maid of honor opened the door.

Welcome to .......

 The palace maids are experts in dealing with noblemen in a friendly manner. In spite of this, the maidservant who greeted me gave off a very obvious air of "why are you coming now? --The same goes for the other maids and maidservants who were apparently waiting in the main room.


 It's a silent assertion from these women who can hide their innermost thoughts perfectly well if they wanted to. It's obviously intentional.
 Even though they work for the royal court, they have already decided that their "Lord" is "Diana". If Diana were to leave the palace in the future, they would follow her without any hesitation.

"Come, Your Majesty. I have something to ask you.

 Mia, the only maid in the room, stepped forward. The maidservants are not allowed to speak without the permission of the king, but Mia, with her status as an official, is less restricted.
 I'm not sure what to make of that.

"...... Where's the Red Rose?
"You look a little tired. Go to your bedroom to rest.
"......, I knew it!

 Mia quickly stood in front of Juke as he turned toward the bedroom, knowing that he was not unharmed.

"With all due respect. What the Red Rose needs is rest. Please refrain from doing so this evening.
No, you don't! You saw the Red Rose eat Shayla's table and the food in it!
...... So what?

 I'm sure you've seen the Red Rose eat the food in Shayla's bowl!" "What about it?" Mia acted as if she really didn't know what the king was talking about. She can't advise the king directly, but she's trying to show her attitude.
 Think about why Diana did everything she did as the Red Rose without a care in the world.

 I'm sure Juke understands this on a level-headed level.
 But more than that. He wants to make sure that Diana is safe, and that's all he can think about.

What do you mean, "something"? Aren't you worried about the Red Rose? I can't let the Red Rose die. I'll check on her and call the palace doctor if necessary.
"So. And then you'll inform the public about Deanna-sama's condition?

 The door to the private room connected to the bedroom opened.
 Rita straightened up and walked into the main room.
 Juke's eyes opened wide.

"And you are... "You are the private maid of the Red Rose. ......
"My name is Rita. I'm Rita. I hope you're having a good day.

 That's the stupidest sarcasm I've ever heard. --Alford can tell that you're really angry.
 Even Juke, with his head on a swivel, paused for a moment.
 Rita took advantage of this moment and stepped in front of Mia.

I'll tell you about it. --May I have the honor of your direct response?

 This is a question, and the only answer is "yes.
 Even Alford was under pressure, and Juke could only nod.
 Rita smiled at him.

Thank you for your generosity. Let's get started. --How stupid can you be?

 I knew it. I knew what to expect, but ...... from the first move, there was no holding back.
 It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do and how you're going to do it.
 Alford gracefully gave up the futile act of arbitration.

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out why Deanna was trying so hard to stop Sophia. Why did you break the arrangement even though you were prepared to be disliked by Master Shayla? --Why did you use your own life as a shield when there was a commotion?

 Rita's anger scorched the air.
 Juke gasped.

Rita's anger scorched the air. Juke gasped, "If you can't understand without being told every answer, then cut your head off. If you can't think, if you can't reason to govern yourself, if you can't think of a plan, then your head is useless. A primitive creature without a head can only act on instinct.

 --These words should be more painful to Juke than anything else.
 Rita had unintentionally gouged him in his vitals.
 In a room full of kings, Rita's words never stopped.

You say you're not worried about Master Diana. Of course I'm worried about her. She's always been reckless, always thinking of others before herself, and no matter what hardships she's gone through, she's always been able to sweep them all under the rug because she wants to see everyone smile. How many people are worried about her, concerned about her, and want her to be happy more than anyone else? I've been scolded and shouted at so much that I've even offended Diana, whose pockets are bottomless, and all I can think of is 'I owe you an apology'.
That's .......
I'll ask you for an excuse after I'm done talking.

 The humiliation suffered by the Cresta family will not be forgotten by those around them, even after they have completed their retribution.
 I've felt it many times before, but Rita's resentment seems to be building up as she has been by Diana's side since she entered the palace.
 And the resentment is very justified. Juke has no words to reply.

"Everyone here is much more concerned about Master Diana than you are. But why haven't you made a public outcry? Why don't you call a doctor? --Why don't you ask yourself these questions before you blame Miss Mia?
I... I...


Is it compassionate to worry, to fuss, to arrange for a doctor? Are we to blame for not doing so? Do you still not understand that it took us this long to realize the truth about Diana-sama because you only see things one way?

 --Rita shouted with all her might.
 After the aftermath was gone, there was only silence in the room.
 Rita breathed quietly, and then looked at the king in front of her.

What is it that you must do now?
"Return to the palace, ....... I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one.

 Yes.
 To do this, Diana risked her life.
 Even Rita, who should be worried about Deanna to death, doesn't leave the room.
 The palace maids are casually preparing things in the room, just in time that no one will think it suspicious to say that they have gathered them to "help the tired Lord".

 --It's just to pretend that there was no poisoning racket at the king's "star gazing party" in the palace.
 Someone's death could directly trigger a turbulent world. If the suspicion of poisoning remains, it will become a source of conflict between conservatives and innovators.
 In such a situation, in order not to lose the current, even if it is just the beginning, "peace" --.

...... How far will the Red Rose go? I wonder how far the red rose is gentle.

 I'm not sure what to say, but I'd like to know.

I knew it. I'm sure you've heard of it. --But...
"I didn't think you'd be willing to sacrifice your own life, ......?

 Rita shook her head gently.

That's not true. Master Deanna has no intention of dying.
But... But she took the poison.
"You told me, Your Majesty. --She's a wild child who grew up in the woods.

 Juke's eyes widened to their widest point. "No," his face said eloquently.

"The poison and the antidote are both familiar to you, Deanna. In order to clear the suspicion of poisoning, someone had to prove that Shayla's food was 'safe'. And the only person who could do that was Diana-sama.
"So, ...... is the Red Rose now.
"From the beginning, Mia, you have been telling Her Majesty. "What you need is rest.

 --That's a great lie.
 I'm sure Alford, who knows Rita, can see it, but it would be a shame to expect Juke to see it.
 As far as Alford knows, there is no such thing as a "universal antidote" to any poison in the world today.
 As if relieved, Juke relaxed his shoulders.

Is the Red Rose ...... safe?
Yes. --I'm sure she'll be fine by morning.

 That was ...... true.
 I mean. The antidote is probably being prepared at the Cresta house right now.

(...... Good. I've already decided that Ed is going to kill me half to death.

 I hope it's only half a kill.
 I hope it's only half-dead, but it's probably 80% dead, including the fact that I made Chris half-cry.

"...... Alford.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Let's go back to the palace.
Yeah. Lead the way.

 They were seen off by all the members of the Red Rose Room, except for the maidservants, maidservants and Diana, and they left the room.
 In the same way, they avoided the public eye and returned to the palace, finally returning to the office.
 Juke let out a deep breath as he dismissed the men of the king's bodyguard who were waiting for him.
 Alford calls out to him, daringly and lightly.

You must be tired. Why don't you take the rest of the day off?
I'm inclined to do so. ......

 Juke chuckled and looked out the window.
 Then he looked out the window and thought about something.
 A few moments passed in silence, and then Juke looked at Alford.

"Alford. I have a favor to ask you.
What is it?
I need you to get me a room where no one will bother me. And I need you to take something into that room.
That's easy. What do you need?
I'll give you detailed instructions later. ...... And this is the most important thing I want you to do.

 Juke's eyes flashed with determination.

"No matter what happens. No matter what happens, no one is to know about the room until I say it's okay. If you need me, you come to me.


"......, dude. Are you trying to go missing?
"You know where I am, so I'm not really missing. I just don't want to be disturbed.

 This is the time.
 What is it that Juke wants to do without being disturbed, without being missing?

 Alford had no idea, but...

"Yes, Your Majesty...

 Juke was the king, even if unconsciously, when he gave Alford his instructions.
 With respect, the king's aide bowed.





"Excuse me, Your Majesty! Hey, Commander, where's His Majesty?
"You wanted to see me, Your Majesty? I'll ask him.
What are you doing making tea? It's important!
What's going on?

Her Mastership, Shayla Callerd, has been taken by someone. The name of the Red Rose came out of the mouth of the handmaid who helped her, so the Royal Court Knights decided to capture the Red Rose!

 In just a few hours, the peace and tranquility of the kingdom will collapse at once, and the greatest crisis will come, without knowing it at the time.
