Chapter 12: Apples (Part 1)
"Ronnie, it's time to get up. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" When the voice of my sister Kurxiu came in such a tone. When he opened his eyes, Ronnie still had the feeling that he was still asleep.
It doesn't make sense that my sister would be so gentle with him, impossible, impossible, I must not have woken up. Looking at Kursius standing beside the bed, Ronnie shook his head and lay back under the covers.
"Smack. Kurxiu calmly withdrew his sword scabbard and asked thoughtfully, "Are you awake now?"
"Did you hit your brother's sister with a scabbard one morning??
"Go downstairs and eat. Kursiu, who walked out of the door with a muffled voice, left Ronnie, who was gritting his teeth on the bed.
Breakfast was not extravagant, from an aristocratic point of view, just a few ordinary dishes. Because of the teacher's leave, Ronnie is extremely rare to start eating at home.
"Look what I do. Picking up the silk scarf next to him, Kur Xiu nodded it to the corner of his mouth and looked at Ronnie, who had been peeking at him.
"Nothing. Ronnie, who bowed his head and pretended to be eating, muttered to himself, it's not that you look too weird today.
"Next time your teacher teaches you to heaven, remember to come back and tell me. Maybe I didn't know what to do, so I chatted with my brother in a normal manner. With the early Kurxiu, he picked a topic that might be of interest to the other party.
"Huh?!" Ronnie looked at her with his mouth wide open, "Sister, were you kidding? ”
"Hmph!!!Let's go to work after eating. Kurxiu, who had put down the dishes, got up and left the table with a dark face, "I'll go to the study first." ”
"Oh, okay. With a slice of bread in his mouth, Ronnie nodded in agreement.
The cat-eared lady, who was inseparable from Kurxiu, followed the other party's footsteps as usual, but before leaving, she smiled and whispered to Ronnie, "Master Ronnie, come on! ”
"Hey, don't say such creepy things early in the morning. Waving the fork in his right hand, Ronnie grumbled.
Covering the corners of his snickering mouth, Filip-chan, humming in a minor tune, followed in the footsteps of Kamikuresius.
"Could it be that it's rare for me to eat at home, and my sister is touched by me?" Ronnie, who was confused, swallowed the bread in two or three bites, and said to the maid standing in the distance, "I'm done." ”
Eating and drinking, Ronnie, who stretched his waist, walked out of the house quickly. Today is a sunny day, the morning sun is lukewarm, and the temperature is pleasant.
Based on the fact that Arashi will definitely not go to work today, Ronnie simply saves the effort of going to the teacher's house to report and prepares to go directly to the headquarters of the Knights.
It wasn't until his brother's figure disappeared into the distance that Kursiu withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the knight who had been waiting behind him, smiling at him.
"Inform Russell and let the baggage troops go to their destination first, and do reconnaissance and deployment of supplies. Kursiu straightened his waist and looked at the Guardian Knight with an awe-inspiring gaze.
"Yes!" Phyllis saluted solemnly, turning and walking out of the room.
"Wilhelm. Kursius looked at the other companion in the study.
"Your Excellency, please. With a symmetrical towel hanging from his crooked arm, he looked like Wilhelm, who was more of a butler than an assistant, and it was still impossible to find fault with his whole body.
"Tell all the captains of the raiding party to assemble in the hall, and the troops will assemble in the courtyard. ”
"Yes!"
"Let's go, the time has come to witness our fate. ”
"Lord Kursiu, you will be indomitable and invincible. For the girl's words, Wilhelm, who bowed his head, did not hesitate to send his highest praise.
"Yes, I think so, too. With a familiar confident smile on his lips, Kursiu, who took off his knight's hat and tied his long hair into a ponytail, looked down through the window like a lion awakened and opened his eyebrows.
"Miss Princess, Miss Princess. Al, who walked a little briskly and looked a little strange to a normal person, was walking down the long corridor and pushed open the door in front of him.
A lavish hall, not inferior in detail to the place where the Elective Council had been held a few days earlier, was in the innermost position, where spacious and ornate fine soft chairs were placed.
Priscilla, who rarely shows off her usual clothes at home, closed the book placed on her lap, held her chin with her hand, and looked at the delighted Al with a playful expression.
"Did you bring any news that would make the concubine smile? The girl rolled her gaze, her legs folded and extended to the right, "It's a capital crime to rashly disturb the leisure of the concubine." ”
"There's news, Miss Princess. For his off-line master, Al has long been conscious of neglecting, and walks quickly to the other party's side.
Say. Priscilla, who had pulled out her folding fan out of nowhere, held it out and pointed it at Al.
"A few hours ago, Russell of the royal capital passed through the gate of the North City with a group of troops, and I heard that there were quite a few people. Al said in an inviting tone.
"And then?" said Priscilla, pouting, tapping her folding fan on the chair hand.
"The boiling Dilong acquisition incident that has been rumored by Wang Du in the past few days is Russell's handiwork. Al looked at the princess in bewilderment.
"Get out. Priscilla, who exuded a lot of charm, coldly spit out words that did not match the situation.
Is this going to be kicked out by Miss Princess?" Al, who couldn't laugh or cry, pretended to remember something, and tapped the helmet above his head, "Oops, I still remember a piece of news." ”
For the stupidity of her subordinates, Priscilla, who has a new understanding, is not good at connecting words, and just bows her head and reopens the book.
But this attitude, for Al, who is familiar with her character, is the meaning of agreement. Although it is possible that he will be reprimanded by the master because of his poor answer again.
"Ahem, Miss Princess! I've heard that Knight Commander Arashi submitted a dogma to the Knights' headquarters yesterday, as if he was going to rest at home for eight days. ”
Priscilla flipped through the book's fingertips and stopped, but she didn't say anything.
Could it be that he guessed wrong?, Al hesitated for a moment, just as he was about to say something to ease the quiet atmosphere.
Priscilla lowered her legs, and Shi Shiran stood up from the soft chair, her pale orange silk dress hugging her proud figure.
"Al. Priscilla, who opened the folding fan, stood on the small platform and looked down at the knight in front of her.
"Yes!"
"In the future, when reporting news, we must prioritize the urgency. Priscilla, who crossed her waist with one hand and kept waving a folding fan with her right hand, was in a radiant state at the moment and was really like just now.
"Yes--" Al, who was somewhat aware of the situation and elongated the end of the note, expressed his dissatisfaction in this way.
"Nian Zai did bring good news to the concubine, so you won't care about this mistake. Priscilla, smiling like a reddish apple, quickly walked away from the soft chair.
Between the golden orange hair flying, the girl raised her voice to the servant beside her, "Go, inform Smelt that the concubine is going to prepare for bathing." ”
"Yes. ”
