With a gentle smile, a complete change from his stiff expression from earlier, Kyriros-sensei urged me to leave the room.
It's been a long time since I've been outside, apart from the eastern garden.
"Hey, look at that."
As I expected, the passing guards wore a startled expression for a moment when they saw me, and then began to whisper.
Even though it was something I knew, it can't be helped that I feel something indescribable.
I ruffled my bangs slightly to escape the gazes observing me.
My bangs, which are usually swept slightly to the side, now cover my eyes due to the disruption.
Just that alone narrows my vision and makes me feel a little relieved.
However, Kyriros-sensei frowned at the whispering guards and opened his mouth to offer a word of criticism, so I tugged on the hem of Kyriros-sensei's clothes.
".........Raymond-dono."
"It's okay. There's no point in saying anything if they don't try to know me."
"Raymond-dono is sometimes so philosophical that even I am surprised."
I was told that with a wry smile, but well, that's bound to happen to some extent if you live your life a second time.
Originally, the inside is an old man.
An old man in the skin of a shota.
Oh, saying it made me sad.
Let's stop.
I'm a shota. There's no doubt about it, I'm a shota. I'm a five-year-old child.
Well, that's beside the point, but even if I say I don't care, the voices of the guards are annoying.
So, I glanced at the guards, and they jumped in surprise in an amusing way.
I held one finger up and brought it to my mouth.
"Shh."
They, who were clearly flustered, covered their mouths with their hands all at once.
I couldn't help but laugh a little at their honest reaction.
"Fufu! You shouldn't chatter too much, okay?"
"Y, yes!!! I'm sorry!"
If I actually put it into action, it's not a big deal after all.
Just the fact that the voices are gone reduces the annoyance by a lot.
However, I still feel the gazes, so I lightly ruffled my bangs again and then returned my gaze to Kyriros-sensei.
".........You're terrifying."
"Eh, why?"
"Well......... It would be better if Raymond-dono was a little more concerned about his appearance."
"Even though I'm not as cool as Gian nii-sama?"
"This, this is.......... Those around Raymond-dono in the future are likely to have a hard time."
While talking about that, I was led by Kyriros-sensei to a room in the northern corridor.
Basically, the rooms in the royal palace are allocated according to the country of origin of Father's four wives in the east, west, south, and north.
Father and First Queen Karina-sama are in the center of the royal palace. And there are the private rooms of Federico-aniki and Orlando-aniki, who are Karina-sama's children.
In the center, there is a courtyard that models this country, and it is a garden that represents this royal palace, which is also used for official tea parties.
Corridors extend from that central section to the east, west, south, and north, and at the end of those corridors are the sections where the concubines and their children live, and gardens that model the countries of the east, west, south, and north.
The east is, needless to say, where I and Mother live.
Gian-aniki, Giovanni-aniki, and their mother, Sophia-sama, live in the south.
And on the west side are the audience room and the administrative space where the civil servants work.
Well, to put it simply, that's how the sections are divided, but the only places I've visited are the east and south.
In other words, this is the first time I've come near the northern corridor.
My heart is a little excited.
"Kyriros-shishou! Um, what kind of garden is the northern garden?"
The southern garden, which has a strong fantasy feel, is of course, but the eastern garden, which is reminiscent of a Japanese garden, is also quite tasteful.
Unfortunately, I have never seen the central garden and the northern garden.
Kyriros-sensei smiled at my words, which I asked out of curiosity, but it was an unfamiliar voice that answered my question.
"There are two northern gardens. One is a garden where Svyevil flowers bloom in profusion. The contrast between the blue of the sky and the greenery is beautiful, and I like it too."
From the back of the corridor, a young man with long light blue hair walked out from around the corner.
"Bertrand nii-sama."
I didn't interact with him much, but this person is also one of my brothers, Bertrand-aniki.
A straight, high nose and sharp green eyes.
He wears something like a long coat over a high-collared shirt.
The upper half of his body fits snugly along his body line, while the part below the waist is loose and flowing, and the hem of Bertrand-aniki's coat flutters every time he walks.
To give you an image, it's like the Georgian national costume.
If you don't know what that is, please look it up.
It's quite fantasy-like and cool.
The deep green fabric is embroidered with gold and silver, and it's chic and quite cool.
"Well, the main one is the other garden. It's faster to see it than to hear about it. I'll guide you. We can talk there."
The hem of the coat containing air flutters as Bertrand-aniki turns on his heel.
When I glanced at Kyriros-sensei, he forced a smile with a slightly bitter face and nodded.
Apparently, it was Bertrand-aniki who wanted to hear my story.
