We'll leave the details for later, so I follow the prime minister who ought to go to the evening party, leaving his office behind.
It seems the airship needs to be equipped first, so the delivery will be in one month.
During that time, I'll do what I need to be doing as Satou in Shiga Kingdom.
While I was walking and listing things that have to be done, the prime minister suddenly stopped.
Blue marker is reflected on the radar. It's Hikaru.
Looks like Hikaru is currently accompanying the king and the queen to evening party hall.
Looking at their harmony, it seems she's getting along with the queen too.
"If it isn't His Majesty."
I kneel together with the prime minister.
"Ara, Prime Minister. Is the child your son?"
Hikaru asked an artificial question.
"No, he is Viscount Satou Pendragon, one of my subordinates."
"Then, you've decided on the vice minister at last."
"Yes, I'm sorry to make your majesty worry."
It was the king who first reacted to the prime minister.
"Hm~mm. Subordinate of the prime minister huh~"
Hikaru is grinning with a face that looks like she's thought of a mischief.
"Then, I'll have Satou escort me to the hall!"
"I can be Ancestor King, no, Mito-sama's escort...."
"You can't, His Majesty must escort the queen."
Hikaru curtly refused the king's suggestion.
"Then I'll go in His Majesty's place."
"Ara? Didn't you say that your wife was coming to the evening party today? You said that you'd introduce her to me right?"
The prime minister intercepted but he got tragically sunk down by Hikaru's attack.
"Satou, your hand please."
Hikaru's triumphant face is irritating me, but I can't refuse Hikaru who has the higher position.
I should quickly fade-out once I escorted her to the hall.
Escorting Hikaru, a Duchess, sounds like it'll make me stand out, but I've stood out so much from Liza's matter and attaining Viscouncy, so it's too late now.
I took Hikaru's hand, and walked down the corridor after the king couple and the prime minister.
