Raiga Transbaal!
With silver hair and blue eyes, there stood the prince that I worshipped.
“Sorry. Some of my father’s subordinates did something stupid.”
“Y-, Yeah…”
The real live Raiga, just now, spoke to me!
I know that he’s Mei’s Danna-sama, but my heart fluttered despite myself.
“Are you alright?”
“Y-, Yes-!”
“Geez, Raiga-sama. If they’re your subordinates then at least keep a proper eye on them please~”
Miss Camille is actually complaining to that Raiga-sama!
“So noisy. I can send this words right back at Royce.”
“Mukiiiiiii!”
It seems that Miss Camille and Raiga are close. They’re cracking jokes at each other.
“Beatrix, let’s go.”
“Miss Camille? Eh-…”
She suddenly pulled my arm, and sat me down on the quill.
“Hold on tight, okay? Raiga-samaaa! I’ll leave the rest to youuu.”
“Ah-, oi! Tattoo woman! Are you trying to push all the bothersome stuff onto me!?”
Ignoring Raiga’s scream, Miss Camille flew towards the castle, with me on the broom as well.
“Don’t worry. I had the bridal procession continue all the way until the castle. As though nothing happened, you see.”
Camille smiled cheekily.
It seems that after I flew away, the bridal procession carried the empty palanquin to the castle.
Our surroundings are already completely covered by the darkness of the night.
It was a luxurious outfit, but the Topagerian bridal costume I was wearing had a lot of exposure, so the night wind was cold. The outfit I was wearing today was the one for welcoming the bride, and on the day of the wedding, I’ll be wearing something different.
“Aren’t you cold, Miss Camille?”
Under her robe, she was wearing a vest, blouse and skirt; the common clothing for female magicians in this country.
“Hmm, it’s cold but I guess I’m used to it. Ahh, you’re cold, aren’t you? Wear this.”
With that, she tried to give me her robe.
“That won’t do. You’ll get cold, Miss Camille.”
“I see.”
After saying that, Miss Camille lit up a number of flames around the quill in succession.
Seeing them float in the dark night felt a little fantastical.
“Is the cold any better?”
“Eh-, yeah.”
It certainly does feel warm around the flames.
“I have magic for blowing warm and and stuff, but they have the downside of drying your skin. Should I try mixing in steam with it?”
“Nah… This much is plenty.”
I grew up in the desert, so It’s not like I’m that sensitive to the cold.
After intruding on the castle grounds, she headed for the window of a noticably high tower.
“It’s fine. The assassins are all finished after all.”
“That’s not what I was worried about.”
All the assassins or whatever were probably caught back there.
“Hey, Beatrix?”
“What’s up?”
“It might be weird coming from me, but…”
It seemed that Miss Camille was struggling to pit the words out, but eventually those small and pretty lips parted.
