The Promise 1 “I do not know about the poison. They told me that I was to work at the royal palace. And so I was forced to study palace etiquette, since I did not have the opportunity to learn it at home. I did little else…” Margrave Vain did not doubt by words…
Translator’s note: I have decided to change the spelling of Mishuly to Michelie. It seemed that the reason that Mariwa knew of my secret was not due to the story of it being reverberated throughout society. The truth was that the daughter of the Marquis who had tipped me off about the flower petal in…
The Mystery of the Pursuers After that, I was able to walk on my own and return to where Madam Beatrice was waiting. She had apparently heard what had happened and rushed to assure me. “Don’t worry, I promise to protect you as long as you stay near me!” She banged a fist to her…
Translator’s note: I’m terribly sorry, but I just can’t do this anymore. I refuse. ‘Mariywa’ will be written ‘Mariwa’ from now on so I can actually remember how it’s spelled. After parting ways with my new friend Charles, I was able to return to the dancehall without anything else happening. I felt so re-energized…
“Are you calm now?” “Yes… Thank you. But, Reggie. You mustn’t do that.” Even now that I was safe, my voice still shook as I spoke to him. “You mustn’t try and protect me. You should have left me and fled by yourself. Reggie, you are a prince, you have to put yourself above…
Often the secret lock of friendship between children will have the power to withstand any lock breaking. For a child, a promise of secrecy was not one to easily break. It boasts an unshakable stubbornness that can withstand any threats from adults. And so there was no doubt that the nights events would forever remain…
-The Ambush and what was not said- In the first place, it was very difficult to tell who was an enemy. In games, friends and enemies are separated by color schemes that make them instantly distinguishable. They would have different coloring on their armor, even bosses could be easily made out from the rest.…
I felt a slight tinge of regret as I was illuminated by the light of a moon that still needed another day to be whole. Leaving the dance hall itself was fine. Even stretching my body a little in the garden was acceptable. Even throwing myself onto the bench instead of sitting properly was not…
“Your Highness, where are you going?” “We want to take a walk around the castle.” A knight who had been waiting outside of the library heard Reggie’s plans and a nearby servant went running off. After a slow walk with Reggie through the castle, we arrived at the stables. The stable master had known that…
We were now halfway into the party, and had completed our round of greetings. Generally, we went around to greet father’s acquaintances and those people he wished to show me to, of which there were now none. In fact, the real purpose of this ball was not so much to introduce small children like myself,…
Is the Search still in Progress? After that, it was often easier for me to get distracted. It was not particularly bad when I was moving my body. From my seat at the breakfast table, I would look at the Margraves couple and their complete air of friendliness, Alan’s exasperated face, Reggie’s expression as he…
It is a gorgeous scene. A magnificent banquet had been prepared, glasses of champagne were served generously. The beautifully constructed and decorated dance hall was filled with the movement of vibrantly colored dresses of the latest fashion, and sophisticated tailcoats and tuxedos. Yet this was just one of the many sites that this world called…
On the morning of the day that I was to head for the palace to attend the ball, I paid Mishuly a little visit. It was not seen as an unusual thing any more for me to visit the room of Mishuly, who I adored, and by now there was no one in the mansion…
