Dangerous Monsters of Skyte and Malaise [Part 3]
“Victoria-sama, have I made any mistake?”
She remembered the thing she heard from Emma, a unique person, or if she were to put it bluntly, an oddball. Emma had taught Rose the highest level of apology, the secret finishing technique [Dogeza ‘Prostrating’]. Rose secretly resolved that it might be time to unleash that.
“Actually, I want to talk to you about Maximilian.”
The queen began the topic while staring at the fluctuations on the surface of the black tea she brewed herself.
“His Highness Maximilian…?”
The queen told Rose, a fellow mother, about the sense of unease she had always felt with her son.
‘I’m sure no one will believe such a thing,‘ thought the queen.
The queen knew she would only trouble Rose if she discussed a vague matter like this with Rose, but once the queen opened her mouth, she couldn’t stop herself until she had let everything on her chest out.
Maximilian was truly a good-natured son who never caused her any trouble.
Even now, the Prime minister, maids, and even his nanny all said there was nothing strange with him as they tilted their heads in confusion.
Still, the queen couldn’t help but think she was the only one who felt something was different from him.
It was also a rude thought to have toward her son, so the queen had been wondering what she should do…
The queen exhaled, gulped down the black tea that had turned cold, and sighed.
Surprisingly, Rose listened to her story seriously. More so than the Prime Minister, the maid, and the nanny.
Rose didn’t interrupt Victoria until she finished talking, just listening earnestly and kindly.
“Victoria-sama, I think if the mother said there was something strange with her son, there must truly be something wrong.”
Then, looking straight into the sighing Victoria’s eyes, Rose said the words even the Prime Minister, maid, and nanny wouldn’t.
“…Rose-san.”
After a moment’s hesitation, Rose spoke truthfully to Victoria that one thing about Maximilian had also bothered her.
It was that time when she and Maximilian met in the courtyard.
“This might not be related to what you are concerned about, but I also felt one strange thing about His Highness Maximilian.”
Victoria watched Rose take a deep breath and waited for her next words.
“I met His Highness Maximilian in the courtyard a little while ago and greeted him… Um, at that time, His Highness didn’t look at my breasts even once.”
“!!!! Wha—”
Victoria was so shocked that she stood up by reflex.
“He didn’t look at… Rose-san‘s breasts… you said…?”
Victoria’s pupils shook, ‘Maximilian is a full-fledged adult male.
How can he not look at her chest even though he is greeting her face-to-face?
That’s… impossible.’
“Um, maybe I am being overly self-conscious, but… most people’s gaze will drift to my chest when they are talking to me…”
As if finding it hard to say those words, Rose blushed as she put her hand on her cheek.
“Well, this… There’s something quite abnormal… about my son…”
Victoria was convinced.
Men and women of all ages couldn’t help but look at ‘those’.
‘Those’ being Rose’s breasts.
No one could fight their instincts.
No matter if it were small children, the Church’s pastors, a woman who had married thrice, or even a saint, all would look at Rose’s breasts when they were present right before their eyes.
“Thank you, Rose-san. I will put my son under surveillance at once. I didn’t feel anything strange with him before he went to the Empire… I have to spy on and investigate him a little further…”
After receiving Rose’s counsel, Victoria dispelled all her anxieties, left her palace with steady steps, and headed towards her office.
Rose stared at such a situation absentmindedly.
“…Glad I could be of assistance… I suppose?”

Author’s corner:
Sir Comedy: To think he didn’t look at Rose-sama’s breasts… That’s abnormal.
Crisis: This is a crisis! A big crisis!
Serious: Eh? Wait!? Victoria-sama? So she didn’t call for me? *COUGH COUGH…*
Crisis: Serious, don’t exert yourself. Go back to sleep. I think it’s better for you to sleep for another three years.
Rom-Com Geeky Lady: HUH! Could it be that His Highness Maximilian was awakened to a whole new world while he was in the Empire…? There’s no doubt. I’m on the edge of my seat, waiting for the continuation!
