The Duke in the Spire of Thorns

Celeste had never worn a skirt before, and was at a loss for a while in the face of cumbersome clothes.

Although he had learned how to wear a skirt before, it was just a process, and he stopped here after he understood the theory, and he had never tried to wear it by himself.

He stared at the suits of dresses in the closet, then turned to look at Escrit.

Escrito was still lying on the bed, seeing Celeste's gaze, he smiled and said, "What's the matter?"

Celeste looked at him, knowing that Escrito was deliberately pretending not to understand.He bent his lips and said softly: "Eri, you forced me, I hope you won't regret it after a while."

Celeste put on the close-fitting skirt, spread out the long blond hair that Escrit had combed for him, and then went to the dressing table to apply the lipstick that Escrit used to camouflage. I looked in the mirror and felt good, so I walked to the door, intending to open it and go out.

"Where are you going?"

Escrito got out of bed very quickly, walked to Celeste and pressed his shoulder.

"Where am I going?"

Celeste showed an innocent smile: "I'm going to find a maid to dress me? My dear, which noble lady doesn't have a personal maid?"

Escrit felt a little regretful, he was a little carried away during this time.

"Don't go." Escrit immediately admitted his mistake: "I've gone too far."

"No no no." Celeste said, "I think your idea is very good, very good."

He blinked his eyes and said reasonably, "During this period of time, I was so busy studying things with Du Li'an that I ignored you. I can understand why you are dissatisfied."

Escrito was taken aback, his pampered little master suddenly became so understanding, he still couldn't react.

"So I decided to agree to your request."

Celeste: "Don't you really want to marry a princess, this is very simple, just wait for me for a while."

His Excellency the Duke had a new idea, he acted vigorously and quickly established his new identity.He wrote a letter to his elder brother Noyce, asking him to help fabricate the identity of a princess, and then send the princess to the Os Empire, but only need to send an empty carriage.

After being crowned as crown prince, Celeste wrote to him. Noyce was still very unbelievable at the time, but now, he has accepted the fact that his younger brother will be the future King of Oss, and soon He agreed to Celeste's request.

In the letter, he also asked with great interest: "Do you want to be a sister-in-law?"

Celeste said without hesitation: "I want to teach Escrit a lesson."

The two brothers quickly reached a consensus. Noyce was free from foreign troubles and was in a very happy mood. It didn't take long for the princess to be sent here.

The "princess" is still on the way, and Celeste has been promoting the princess in advance. It is not the first time that the Aussie Empire has welcomed a princess from the St. Peter Empire. The people have accepted it well. With the help of Celeste, In their minds, this princess is really like an angel descending to earth, without any shortcomings.

The people and some upper-middle-class nobles thought that this princess would marry Celeste and become the future queen of Oss, so when they mentioned her, they were full of praise.Unexpectedly, after the princess came here, not only did she not marry Celeste, but she wanted to marry the Marquis of Smedley, who was not well-born.

Suddenly reduced from the future queen to the marquis, the princess must feel uncomfortable, everyone thinks so, including the servants in the Smedley mansion.

After the princess came out of the palace, she never showed her face in front of other people. Many people speculated that the princess hid and washed her face with tears.

Three days later, the poor Princess reluctantly showed up at another manor arranged for her by the Marquis Smedley.

Her appearance made everyone dumbfounded. The princess looked very young, as if she had not yet grown up. Her face was exquisite and beautiful, and she looked very good when she stood beside the Marquis of Smedley.

The Marquis of Smedley was eager to win the favor of Her Royal Highness, but unfortunately the princess seemed to have a prejudice against him and remained unmoved.

Lord Smedley tried everything to cheer up the princess.He ordered the servant to bring her favorite black tea for the princess, but Her Royal Highness said, "You don't like me at all, otherwise you wouldn't let others make tea for me."

The Marquess of Smedley immediately asked for the cup of tea to be taken away. He made a cup of tea himself and brought it to the princess. The princess picked it up and took a sip before putting it down.

She lowered her veil, and her voice was very sad: "You don't love me at all, otherwise you wouldn't bring such a bad cup of tea."

Lord Smedley: "..."

The "princess" J under the veil was laughing quietly, but her voice still sounded sad: "Forget it, since you don't like me, then I won't make things difficult for you. I'll go to the palace and ask for my favor." Brother send me back."

"Sorry, my lord, I'm going to make another cup right now, please don't be angry."

Lord Smedley made twenty cups of tea the first day the princess came.

On the second day of the princess's arrival, the Marquis Smedley's property was taken away by the princess, and now he can't even pay the bill for going to the restaurant.

The third day of the princess's arrival...

Celeste pretended to be addicted. He turned Escrit around, asked him to do this, asked him to do that, and when he was done, he put on a dissatisfied look.

Escrit didn't feel dissatisfied, but he found it very interesting. The way Celeste gets along with him now is like when he was a Knight of Celeste in the past. At that time, Celeste was in poor health. He has a very capricious personality and often makes trouble for no reason. He has long been used to it.

However, since Celeste became healthy, he has become less willful. Escrito found that his little master had grown up and sensible, and he was quite disappointed.

After Celeste teased Escritter for a while, he stopped teasing him. Escritter worked hard and obeyed every order he gave. This reminded him of how he used to be, when he His health was extremely poor, as if he would die at any moment.No one around him dared to approach him, for fear that he would be punished after his death, but only Eskrit was willing to approach him.He likes it but refuses to talk about it, and from time to time he finds some unreasonable demands to torment Escrit, which is really wrong.

It was rare for His Excellency the Duke to be emotional, and he planned to take good care of Escrit. As soon as Escrit came back, he would press him on the chair, and then handed him the tea he made, showing his hospitality.

Escrit took a sip of the tea, the taste of the tea was mediocre, but he was still very happy, and praised Celeste from head to toe.

Celeste was a little dizzy from the praise, and he happily walked up to Escrit and kissed him.

Escrit picked him up and kissed him, and they spent a pleasant afternoon.

·

With the passage of time, Celeste's relatives have passed away, and he is very sad. Accepting the departure of relatives is not so easy.But he is still helpless, time cannot be defied.

Fortunately, he is not alone. Although the people around him are disappearing one by one, he is still lucky:

He has a caring and handsome lover, a humorous friend, and a "sister" who is still close despite his bad temper.

In the long time, he is not alone, he has their company.The jealous Escrito seems to get rid of his bad habits with the passage of time. Instead of hindering him from getting along with his relatives and friends as before, he will considerately and patiently leave space for him.

Every time Escrit did this, he couldn't help smiling, and Escrit smiled too, and he said:

"Go, dear, you know, I hope you have a good time."

"I'm so happy when I'm with you."

Celeste always answers like this: "But people need not only lovers, but also friends and relatives, but in my heart, you are always the most important."

"of course."

Escrit curled his lips: "Of course, I understand."

Hillest nodded and left in peace.

Sometimes, he would lament his luck, and he believed that no one would be luckier than him.

"Yes."

After hearing Celeste's emotion, Escrito would smile and come over and kiss his forehead.

Such an Escrit seems a bit weird, but... everyone is more or less weird, who cares?

Celeste sometimes finds that the behavior and demeanor of Aponomo and Durian are strikingly similar to Escrit at certain times.But that doesn't mean sister

... This girl is so in love with her that she wants to live together for a long time, so she will be affected to some extent.

Leaving aside some outlandish speculation, Celeste would think: No one could be luckier than he.

No one will be luckier than him.

Yes, no more.

The author has something to say: that’s the end of the main text, and the next is the side story that I once promised to a certain little angel. The first side story is Escrito Alchemist x Celeste Mermaid

PS: There are still some things to be talked about outside the episode, such as the events of Mansfield’s era. The scumbag author is worried that he will not be able to control it and write a lot, and some readers don’t like to read it, so he put it in the episode. Because I think the story that should be told is almost done, bow, thank you little angels for your support.
