Aquilegia


The eight-horse carriage runs under the moonlit night.
Actually, four horses would have been more than enough, but they have double the number of horses.
The sight of the horses running was dazzling. The horses kicked lightly on the ground as if they had grown wings.

Despite the towing of the eight horses, the carriage was extremely comfortable, thanks to the well-functioning springs in the body of the carriage.
The gold-plated interior of the carriage also kept out the rattling of the horses’ hooves.
However, as one would expect, the carriage was not stable enough to have a flat table. Even the springs cannot completely counteract the bumps from the road surface. As a result, the only flaw is that the interior of the car is full of placements for things, such as cup holders.

However, the sight of eight horses in a row was more spectacular than I had expected when viewed from a close distance.

…… Or rather it was quite embarrassing when I saw it now that I’ve calmed down. It’s too much.
It was a mistake to discuss with the idiot Bradd at the blueprint stage.

「Anyway, I want to make all the nobles dumbfounded!! So I’m going to make the carriage be pulled by six horses!!」

Bradd shook his finger at me as I held out my hands wide open in the air and declared that.

「No, no, no, it’s a good opportunity, so let’s make it eight horses. As for the coachman, leave it to me!」

「Okay, I’ll leave it to you!! Then, let’s go all out and have two rows of seats for three adults in the carriage!!」

I shouted, as if competing with him.
Normally, private carriages are designed to seat two people on each side.
Otherwise, the car would be ridiculously wide.
It was inconvenient to handle.
Except for a large, heavy, and crude stagecoach, it was not something you would do with an expensive nobleman’s vehicle.
At this point, we had run amok and stepped into the mire of carriage making.

「That’s cool!! You can spend the night in the carriage while traveling!! It’s like a mobile dream house!! I want to stay in it too!!」

Bradd, being the idiot that he is, didn’t stop me, but instead encouraged me.
Then we can just make it as huge as a wagon. Don’t make it with the official type of carriage of the nobility.

「Of course!! But, when you ask someone for something, don’t you have to be polite? And here’s the ….. Ohohoho!! ….. Kyaa!」

But at that time, I also got too carried away. Instead of admonishing him, I looked up too much for the laugh, slipped, and hit the back of my head hard. Sparks flew in front of my eyes. Forgetting to hide my pumpkin pants, I tossed myself around due to the pain, like I’m breakdancing.

Laughing so hard till I fell, I feel like an idiot when I actually say it….

「Bradd!! Blow on itttt!! Bloww!!」

Because of the pain, my pride was chopped into tiny pieces.
I didn’t care about my image as a maiden.
My bump was tingling hot.
I sat down flat with tears in my eyes and let Bradd cool the bump down by blowing on it.

「You know. There’s a limit to how much you can look up when you laugh. ….. What a helpless kid. Ahh, don’t cry anymore. I’m going to cool you down now by manipulating your blood flow.」

Bradd had a helpless expression, but I’m generous, so I don’t mind.
As was the case with a newborn baby, a little girl’s body cannot hold back tears.
Maybe it’s because the nerves are not yet fully developed.
So this is like a physiological phenomenon.
I’m definitely not being spoiled by Bradd.

「Good grief. Even though you’re so cute when you keep silent. Well, but that’s just how you are.」

My ears were becoming red, which was probably a physiological phenomenon peculiar to young children.
Why would he say something like a pick-up line so casually?
The fact that he is unaware of it makes me angry.

I wondered for a while whether I should take it out on him like a child or just let it slide with an adult’s composure, and then I decided to be a big sister and give him a spicy response.

「….. Ufufu, I see you have finally noticed my overflowing charm. I’ll allow you to stay during the night in the carriage. But no matter how attractive you are, if you do anything strange in the carriage during a sleepover, I’ll hit you with my certain kill ruby shot to stop the sound of your breathing.」

I put my finger on the chain of the ruby pendant and swung it threateningly.
The spirits of Light Bat Tribe that are attached to the ruby have become calm, and although it is not at the level of a deadly curse now, the curse that stuns those who touch the ruby is still alive and well.

「No way I’d do that. Rather, you ….. That ruby is the True Emperor’s ruby, you know. Don’t use the curse of that ruby as a toy.」

Bradd looked even more helpless, but I didn’t care.
Nowadays, a heroine has to have one or two special moves.

Bradd tried to teach me the mysterious heart-stopping technique of the Lawless Crew as a self-defense technique, but there is no way I can learn such a thing at the age of three or so! What your village considers as common sense is considered insane in a normal society!! There is no way that I, a noble young lady, can easily master the secrets that are difficult even for those who can do somersaults at the age of two!!

「But I was able to do it at the age of five. I’m sure little kid Scarlet can do it even earlier …..」

Bradd, don’t tilt your head to one side to look cute while wearing a maid’s outfit!!
Even if I start training right after birth, what’s impossible will still be impossible!!
My previous 「108 times」 was a repeat of the life of a queen, not a career as an assassin!!
Even so, I am one of the most athletic people of my generation.
I just haven’t reached the level of a superhuman.
It’s a given that Bradd’s skills are in that range.

I still think that father’s horsemanship has a better chance of being mastered than heart stopping or blood flow manipulation.
And since horsemanship was a part of the queen’s skill set, I’m already at the master level.
However, in my miniature size, the horse I can ride now would be a pony, but …. child me, plus the power of a pony …. even if the equestrian fighting techniques are successful, I’m still too weak …. to put up a fight …..

On top of that, Bradd, envious of my dashing pony riding, started horse riding as well and quickly reached the master level. I was stunned by the sight of him galloping along on the most rambunctious horse in the house in 30 minutes. It was a marvelous super growth that father gave him high praises. Even I have never been praised that much. Wild intuition is scary.  

It’s okay. I’m going my own way.
I’m not jealous of Bradd at all.

I was so inspired that I decided to hone a special move that only I could do.
Thanks to that, my throwing skills have been improving rapidly, and now I can throw the ruby from a distance of three meters and always hit the target. After some distance, the ruby automatically returns to me, its owner. It’s like a yo-yo. How it works is a mystery, but my boomerang-like special move was being perfected. But there was nothing I could do about the short range. But the range was too short. The arm strength of a young girl is too impotent …. and my arms are too short …..

Nevertheless, together with my other original technique, I was steadily getting ready to entertain those damn four princes when I meet them face to face. A beautiful rose has thorns.

Let’s get back to the story of the carriage.
Bradd and I were in high spirits and hit it off so well that we ended up planning a super-luxurious carriage while making an uproar. As they say, 「Two heads are better than one」. But two idiots together is not a good thing.

But …. It’s a carriage!! And custom-made to your liking! I think even I, as a queen, could not suppress my heart-throbbing excitement and would be in high spirits. Carriages are filled with a maiden’s romance and dreams.

….. Back to the present, I’m currently sitting inside the carriage reflecting on it.
My maiden’s romance has gone too far. Everything needs to have a limit.
This carriage cost a hundred million Japanese yen ….
Dreams don’t come true for free.
Why did I build such a foolish thing? I can only think that the devil whispered it to me.
Now my secret savings are almost all gone.
