Dancing Circles on the Horizon of Events

After the pump body was completed, the waltzes began to build motors. Meanwhile, both Josephine and Asteria were observing the actions of the waltzes with interest... From the edge, it did not seem that there was a difference between the two of them in their status as archdukes and slaves.

Copper wire —— after coating too thick a copper plate with chemicals. While the waltz wrapped copper wires around the electromagnetic plate, Lucia became empty.

"Um... Mr. Josephine?"

Lucia asked Josephine if she had any doubts.

"If you don't mind, can you tell me about this country?"

"Huh? About this country...?"

"We haven't even been able to tour that city, and I've never been to any other town..." I don't really know what kind of country the Grand Duchy of Restophen is. "

In response to Lucia's inquiry, Josephine thinks something. Apparently, Lucia's intentions were overweight. I was sure that Lucia and the others were from outside the Grand Duchy of Restophen, so I couldn't help but think that Lucia's words might have something to do with the desire to know the Grand Duchy of Restophen.

Lucia noticed Josephine's suddenly steep expression, and seemed to faintly wonder how she understood her words. Hurry to supplement your own words.

"Well, uh, what I want to know is what kind of culture there is. I want to know what kind of people live, what kind of businesses flourish, what kind of festivals are going to be held, and so on.”

"... I see."

Although it was Josephine who said so, her expression never brightened. Lucia's question was not confidential or anything that everyone could know, so I should be able to explain it from Josephine's mouth... Nevertheless, her mouth was heavy for such a reason.

"... Actually, I don't know much about it either."

"Eh... even though you're the Grand Duke?"

"I know the size of the country, the military, geography, utilities, etc., but I've only seen through the windows what people in the town are doing, what their faces are, what fun things are, what their sufferings are."

"... I see. You must have been a real princess..."

Lucia wondered. Unlike the princess, Josephine lived until now without showing her face at Ichi. And even after sitting on the Grand Duke's throne, there was no freedom, and I've spent my days just like a machine in government...

"...... this too, we have no choice but to fly around in Restopen together! Yup!"

Huh?

Onee-chan, when the pump is finished, let's go on a journey!

"Huh? No... yeah... well..."

Suddenly, in front of Lucia, who had asked to go on a journey, the waltzes that hadn't been listening seemed to be devoured, but for the time being, they decided to leave it to the current to nod.

The Asteria who was listening to the exchange seemed to have a subtle expression on her face at this time. I can't say that I want to go on a trip together because I'm a slave, but I'm interested.

Lucia called out to such an asteria.

Asteria, come with me!

What? Ah, yes!

Called by Lucia, Asteria nodded loudly with a full smile.
