227. Eleanor
“Suppression failed?”
When Eleanor heard the news, she sighed.
The information just delivered by the fourth prince, Lerhulta German, was so shocking.
“Yes, they said the subjugation failed. I heard that the monster was bigger and faster than I thought, so it didn’t do much damage. So his older brothers got really scolded by their father.”
Is it okay to simply say that I was scolded?
It was an overly light statement compared to the value of the lives of the soldiers led by the three men.
For reference, since he was one year older than the 4th prince, Lerhulta, he decided to stop talking and say they should be friends.
“The vassals barely managed to stop my father from saying he would step forward in person?”
Lerhulta is chewing the fruit that he brought for Eleanor and muttering.
He shook his head and criticized his older brothers.
“I wondered why the brothers who fought together every day because they were training together came together. “My father must have been very disappointed.”
‘That damn father.’
The fourth prince, Lerhulta, believed in his father to an excessive degree.
Even now, every time I say something, I add a response to my father.
Excessive loyalty and dependence towards his own father, King Ramahool.
That was the man Eleanor saw named Lerhulta.
“Ha, I hope my father doesn’t view me the same way as my brothers. Of course you too.”
I really hate the way he frowns and winks, but anyway.
Eleanor listened to those words and after being lost in her thoughts for a moment.
“How about checking it out? “I think this is probably an opportunity to show His Majesty the prince’s abilities.”
I smiled softly.

A few hours later.
The person who came was the first prince Rahul.
He had an overtly dark expression and was clenching his teeth in anger.
“Lerhulta!”
Rahul wondered if he, who was nowhere to be seen, had come to visit Eleanor.
In fact, Lerhulta was spending some time in Eleanoa’s room.
“Brother?”
Ler Hulta looks at his eldest son with a puzzled expression. But the moment Rahul saw him, he immediately swung his fist.
Wow!

“Keuuk!”
He turns his head and his floating body falls to the floor. Lerhulta, embarrassed, shouts with a puzzled expression.
“What are you doing! “Isn’t Princess Eleanor by your side now?”
“Shut up! How dare you insult me to my father? Did you really want to impress your father that much? Even selling out his brother?!”
“No, tongue, brother! What do you mean! “I’m just telling you how to subdue demonic beasts!”
“Then why did you bother to point out the reason why this subjugation failed? “There’s no way he wouldn’t know that I commanded the army!”
“Well, that is.”
“Thank you, do you know what my father looked like when he looked at me? Damn you!”
Rahul looked like he wanted to hit a few more punches right away, but when he made eye contact with Eleanor who was quietly watching from the side, he clicked his tongue and went outside.
It wasn’t something he would show in front of a princess from a foreign country, but it was something that showed how emotional and self-indulgent he was.
“Damn it.”
Lerhulta stood up, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, and apologized to Eleanor.
“You showed a side that you shouldn’t be able to see.”
With a wry smile, Lerhulta scratches her back, feeling awkward.
But Eleanor shook her head.
“I didn’t know Rahul would be so uncomfortable. It’s my fault.”
Because it was Eleanor who gave Lerhulta advice on strategies for subjugating large monsters.
The Griffin Kingdom grew in size through invasion. Since this was often done against not only natives but also demonic beasts, there were several strategies for dealing with large demonic beasts.
The experience accumulated was different from that of the German Kingdom, which lived in places where even demonic beasts could not survive, such as the Sahar Desert.
In response to Eleanor’s apology, Lerhulta shakes his head loudly, saying that he doesn’t really mean it.
“No. Thanks to this, I was recognized by his father, and I think he will invite me to the next subjugation. “It’s thanks to you.”
Lerhulta was truly grateful because it was one of the Griffin Kingdom’s strategies for subjugating demonic beasts.
But Eleanor’s expression darkened at those words.
“Wouldn’t that be dangerous?”
“Huh?”
“The method I told you about requires some skill as well as magic.”
“… ….”
“If you were to accompany me, you would have to lead the operation as the initiator of the operation, but you have no battlefield experience yet… ….”
Lerhulta’s expression darkened little by little at those words.
* * *
“hahahaha, this is this. “I’m so embarrassed.”
2 Prince Lehu scratched the back of his head while eating grapes placed in his room.
Lehul also participated in the subjugation of the demonic beasts with the 1st prince Rahul and the 3rd prince Serhul, but even though he failed, his expression did not look too bad.
“I said I would send you back to Griffin, but I failed. Sorry.”
The second prince, Lehull, has a kind smile.
He has an atmosphere that seems relaxed and relaxed like a cloud, but Eleanor was reading the greed contained within him.
“My father was quite angry. Moreover, the fourth brother, Lerhulta, pointed out that there was a problem with Brother Rahul’s operation, so the position of Brother Rahul is also unclear.”
Eleanor, who was listening to the story, smiled.
“Still, it’s good to see that the brothers seem to get along well.”
“…… Hmm?”
When Lehul asked what that meant with a subtle expression on her face, Eleanor answered by recalling a scene she had seen.
“Although the 1st prince, Rahul, was definitely angry, he still made peace with the 4th prince, Lerhulta.”
“…… “You reconciled?”
“Yes, that’s why Lerhulta decided not to participate in the next subjugation. “Rahul needs to re-establish His Majesty’s trust.”
“… ….”
“It would be natural since you are the next successor.”
The second prince, Lehull, looks at Eleanor with an expression that says he had no idea about such a thing.
Suddenly, his relaxed expression changed into a serious one.
“Ahahahaha, yes. I see? “I didn’t know.”
“It happened suddenly in my room. “I was surprised too.”
“… ….”
“But I was also a little worried.”
Eleanoa mutters with a worried expression.
“Rahul, the eldest son, tends to be a bit overly emotional. “As a princess from a neighboring country, I was a little worried.”
“…… Yes, you can.”
The successor of a neighboring country is emotional and also reveals that he is a woman.
Lehul could sense that Eleanor was trying to disguise something that would not look very good from her point of view.
“On the other hand, Lehul is a very gentle person. “Be relaxed and peaceful in everything.”
“Thank you.”
As he said that, Lehul glanced at Eleanor. As if thinking about something.

The Third Prince Serhul was a man with a cold atmosphere. However, if you were to say that he was similar to Deius Verdi, that was not the case.
It was right to say that he was silent because he simply did not have anything to say.
Even though Eleanor came to her room alone, he sat there and watched her without saying a word.
Schuk seu.
Now Eleanor was drawing her picture.
I was able to obtain canvas and various tools by asking the 3rd prince, Serhul.
“Who are you drawing?”
He was Ser Hul, who secretly hoped that he would draw him.
The person depicted there was a handsome man with black hair with an indifferent expression.
“Deius Verdillo.”
“Is this Griffin’s memorial service? “It’s been quite famous recently.”
She drew so often that Eleanor now felt like Deius could draw with her eyes closed.
As her painting was completed, Eleanor felt her mind becoming more and more calm.
Although she drew it herself, she felt better when she saw Deius in her eyes.
“hehehehe.”
The girl laughed for the first time after coming here. Ser Hull asked with a subtle expression as Eleanor shrugged her shoulders and hummed her tune.
“Do you like that guy?”
“Yes.”
“… ….”
Serhul was quite shocked as he had not expected such a firm answer.
He didn’t necessarily show it on his face.
“But it’s difficult. “He already has a fiancee.”
“…… Okay.”
“Well, it’s a one-sided unrequited love. I can not help it.”
Seeing her sad was more heartbreaking than Ser Hul thought.
Even though he won the heart of such an attractive princess, I was both embarrassed and envious of the memorial service that she had a fiancée.
Then, Eleanor seemed to have realized something. She looked at the pictures of Serhul and Deius alternately and laughed.
“Now that I think about it, there are similarities between Deius and Prince Serhul, right?”
“Similar…… ?”
This man and myself?
Serhul’s hair was dull gray and his skin was bronze. His height is also relatively small, and although his body looks thin, he has well-established fine muscles.
Even after all this, Serhul was a warrior.
But Eleanor said with a smile.
“You both are quiet.”
As he looked at Eleanor who was laughing, wondering what was so funny, Serhul had a thought in mind.

“Do you know what’s really bad about her?”
On the way to the Kingdom of German, passing through the Great Forest of Marias.
Aria, who came over to our side of the carriage, speaks with a dried squid in her mouth.
“Did you just tell the princess that it was him?”
Deia, sitting next to me, said she was shocked and warned me, but Aria paid no attention.
She said, “What’s so bad about her is that she uses everything that’s available to her without any thought.”
It was an ability that could be seen as an advantage, but Eleanor was a bit different.
“If it’s for the sake of a goal, you’ll rush in at any cost, right? She remembers how much trouble she went through in the past to save the kids who were brainwashed by him…….”
Tsk, Aria bit down on her squid and shook her head.
She wondered what he was talking about, but of course she couldn’t understand.
Because she was talking about it in the first episode.
“But I’m glad she changed completely thanks to her professor. “What disease was it?”
At Aria’s words, I silenced her for a moment and then shook my head.
“It is not a disease.”
“Yes? But the Eleanor I know now is very different from the Eleanor I know.”
On one side is a fallen princess.
As the leader of the rebellion, he turned academy students into rebels through propaganda and made them dissatisfied with the kingdom.
On the other hand, there is the simple Eleanor.
I’m just drawing pictures now. If I were to call it a deviation, it would be to occasionally draw funny pictures and laugh to myself.
Yes, you could have seen him as a completely different person.
“Eleanor hasn’t changed much since then.”
In the original work, the innocent Eleanor was trapped in her dreams, and Eleanor, with only her responsibilities as a royal, remained active in her reality.
Now the two personalities have become one.
So.
“It means you can be both.”
“… ….”
At my words, Aria swallowed her squid legs and made a subtle expression and she asked me.
“Well, you won’t cause an accident, right?”
To that question.
“… ….”
It was difficult to answer separately.
