Tearmoon Empire Story

Episode 8 The Haunted House of Claudius

“Hmm, it wasn’t here either….”

Meea walked around about three of the shops she knew, but Strina and the others didn’t have shadows or shapes.

“Is it possible that this is still in the dormitory…?Lucky blue mushrooms grow close to each other…Hmm, I’m in trouble. ”

“Meer Sensei, um… um…”

Patricia glanced at her eyes as she looked around Kyrokyolo.

“That shop….”

“Oh, it’s a sewing shop.It means there are cutting-edge designs on the continent….. ”

“I’ve never seen such a sparkling shop.”

“Oh? Have you never seen the Emperor?”

Meer leans her neck unexpectedly.

Well, St. Noel is certainly the continent’s epidemic destination.However, even in the Imperial Capital, there are shops like this.Isn’t that surprising?I thought…

“Yes, because I’ve been living in the Claudius Capital for a long time….”

Listening to that, Meer snorts.

–fufu, you’ve fallen to talk.Even though you’re trying to be my grandson, you’ve never been to Lunatia…No, but this kid doesn’t come from the same place as Belle.In the first place, can you imagine that this child appeared from that light and did not travel in time?Doesn’t that mean you’re dressed up as my grandson? Hmm…

In the first place, I can’t wait to talk about cases like Bell.

Or maybe the timing just happened to be right, and this kid has nothing to do with Bell?and so on.

–The tip is the Clouseau family.I’m curious.The Claudius family. I’ve never heard of them before, but I can’t remember. Mmm…

Since Ludwig preached in the previous timeline, Meer has tried to remember the necessary names.In the first place, as Empire Empress, the names of the nobles in the Empire should have been remembered quite a bit.At the very least… for now… yeah…

Nevertheless, it is!For some reason, I had no impression of the Claudius family.

–I can think of it as a foreign aristocracy, but… I feel it’s different. Hmm…

After thinking about it, Meer moves to solve the question. The method is very simple.

“Um, Patricia, Uncle Claudius….”

Yes… let’s finalise the Title.

If you combine not only the family name but also the title, you may remember.It was Meer who brought such hope to her chest….

“… uncle? The Claudius family is a marquis…”

The answer that came back was unexpected.

“Marquis…?”

Meer leans her neck unexpectedly.After all, the Marquises are superior aristocracy.There’s no way you won’t even remember me… I’m sure!Probably… probably… yeah.

Nevertheless, I don’t remember…

“You’re still not an imperial aristocrat…?No, but it definitely sounds familiar… ah… ”

It was that moment. There was something flashing in Meer’s mind.

–Ah… oh, that’s right! Marquis Claudius!It must sound familiar!

It’s only natural that you remember.Because the Marquis Claudius is…

–Patricia’s grandmother’s home….It’s not your family name before you married your grandfather!

Unexpectedly, it was Meer who was about to hold her head.I can’t believe I forgot my family name…

Well, it certainly was a failure.But there was no room for sympathy.

Because Meer has never met anyone from the Claudius family.The Marquis Claudius had already been destroyed before Meer was born.

In addition, there were circumstances in Meer that she didn’t want to remember. That’s….

–Oh, that’s right.The cursed Marquis of Clouseau… I miss it.

“Cursed Clouseau.”

It is a family that appears in mysterious stories where Meer has been traumatized several times in her childhood.Moreover, it is a monster story of a terrible curse in which a terrible monster comes to the bloodline.

Just in case… just to be clear, I’m not afraid of a curse or a ghost, apart from Meer.I’m not scared at all. That’s why I didn’t have my ears blocked when I talked about it.It’s not like I was trying to keep my memories as quiet as possible. I’m telling the truth!

… well, that’s why in Meer, my grandmother’s home, the Claudius family, is the name of the house that I don’t want to remember.

–That means that this child is not my grandson who received her name, but Grandmother herself…I wonder if you’re doing a lot of research with your enemies…? Yes?

And so, Meer feels uncomfortable again.

I don’t know… I think I’m seeing something serious… and I have such a hunch…

–What if I did something like that to disguise myself?

The discomfort took the form of a question.

–Maybe there’s a simpler answer than such a roundabout interpretation?

Meer tried to immerse herself in reasoning… just then!

“Oh, how are you, Princess Meer?”

Suddenly, someone called out to Meer.

-Who is it?

Meer raised her face reflectively and noticed.

Is it because I was thinking?When did you get into an unpopulated back alley?

And there is a woman standing in such a back alley.And that’s….

“… hah?”

Unexpectedly, I raised my lost voice.

Because I was standing there…

“Ufufu, I didn’t expect to see you in such a place…I just want to thank God for my good fortune. ”

It was Barbara… a woman with a snake-like smile.
