“Are you all dyed with the colors of the Ernes Empire?”
“… … Time is long.”
2 The Marquis of Phrygia, who was having a meal with the Prince, Inas den Prussian Lobelium, laid down the kingdom papers he was reading on the table.
If you follow the flow of money coming and going within the Lobelium Kingdom, you will naturally laugh because the colors of the Ernes Empire are mixed together.
“What… … This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. That means there are plenty of places to touch.”
“It’s good to hear you.”
Although he expected someone in a high position to come, Inas swallowed his saliva because he did not know that the Marquis of Phrygia, who could be said to be an aide of Empress Gremory, would come.
Rather than saying that his words and actions were somewhat formal and dignified, he seemed somewhat vulgar and frivolous, but it hardly ever felt awkward.
Should I say that it is like a person who sits on a throne built up by people living at the bottom?
“It’s time.”
“… … Yes, go.”
In the meantime, the earthquake slowed down a lot of time.
But that too will be over after this meeting.
Inas followed after Marquis Phrygia, who got up first.
As if it was a signal, people who had finished eating at other stores come out one by one and follow behind them.
The sight of the flowing water rising in an instant and pouring out with great force.
But some will feel puzzled.
If they really are receiving a lot of influence and hospitality here, how can they eat in a place other than the royal family?
And the answer to that was really simple.
The Elmark Empire was not using the royal family of the Lobelium Kingdom as a house, but the capital of the Lobelium Kingdom itself as a house.
Not surprisingly, thanks to the time spent as a vassal of the Ernes Empire for many years, the Lobelium Kingdom has all its bases concentrated in the capital.
All the basic frameworks that support their economic power, including the estates of each nobleman.
That way, there was no need to look at the dynamics of the nobles of the kingdom needlessly, and it was simple to rule.
Therefore, the method of the Marquis of Phrygia is to show off their position in the current Lobelium Kingdom in their own way and to provoke the Ernes Empire at the same time.
As long as Inas ascends to the throne, the Elmark Empire will inherit all the fruits they have built for many years.
‘Our Empress considers it as a secondary gain, but… … ‘
The Marquis of Phrygia was also very coveted for material gains.
After walking and walking like that, the Marquis of Phrygia, the capital of the Lobelium Kingdom, reached the place where the royal family was located.
Just like rivers flowing down from different directions eventually meet at the same place and mix into the sea.
The second prince of the Ernes Empire met at the entrance with the high stairs.
“Isn’t the weather very nice?”
“Right. I heard that Elmark has a fairly cool climate even in summer, so that’s why it smells like sweating too much.”
“How many precious people you meet, would you care about the smell of sweat?”
Step by step, climbing the stairs and exchanging conversations, of course, were full of days.
And behind him, her older brother, the Second Prince–Elizabeth, who was following Raymond, frowned, full of beautiful eyes.
It must have been because it was so unpleasant that the memories of reading the inside came to mind each time while I was talking with him after bringing up a very sensitive topic at the first meeting.
Unlike his mouth, which spoke plausible words with a brazen smile, his insides were filthy and sinister.
Putting aside his true feelings that he wanted to rape himself, when he read the deep inside that he wanted to release the hot dogs and have them mate, he couldn’t manage his facial expressions on the spot without realizing it.
If he had spoken to wine, he would have slapped him in the face instantly.
… … Why does Empress Gremory have such a man as her entourage?
Judging from the mannerisms, flamboyant speech, and improvisation that he showed when he came down to the kingdom of Hagiya, he did not appear to have no ability.
No, it must be proof that a man with such a rotten heart is demonstrating quite outstanding abilities in the sense that he has no scars.
‘Gremory Eldin Ishtar Elmark… … ‘
You are holding a double-edged sword that is very difficult to handle.
The moment there is a wound on the palm I hold, the germs that infiltrate into it in an instant will gnaw at my flesh.
again.
Princess Elizabeth, who climbed all the stairs in such deep thought, had a cold expression on her face when she saw the Marquis of Phrygia who suddenly approached her.
“What, do you have something to say?”
“Is there anyone who sees a beautiful flower and opens his mouth?”
“… … ”
“I am silently appreciating it, and all of a sudden, I carefully reach out and look at it.”
If his handsome face, good-sounding voice, and external reputation are harmonized, there is no woman who does not dare to be thrilled at the moment.
However, Princess Elizabeth knew how many masks he was wearing to hide her filthy secrets, so she held her hand and saw him trying to kiss the back of her hand, without hesitation, she pulled her hand back.
‘If I had known this would be the case, I was wearing gloves.’
It is a pity that there are so many eyes to see around.
If I had been alone with him, I would have thrown gloves on my face.
“Marquis Phrygia, don’t be mean to my sister.”
“I’ve taken all the politeness I can, but I’m not the one who was bluntly rejected.”
The corners of his mouth, which were slightly curled up, giggled and seemed to laugh at himself.
It seems as if it crosses the line, as if it does not cross again.
His behavior, between indulgence and courtesy, was so irritating that the 2nd Prince could hardly stand it.
Instead of leading the mood every time he has a meeting, this sense of being secretly drawn to his pace… …
Before the bloodline of the imperial family, it provokes resentment as if his pride as a man was being devoured.
“ruler. stop… … Let’s get in.”
The Marquis of Phrygia turned around after glancing at the second prince who had a stiff expression on his face.
But he stopped after a few steps.
jerk.
jerk.
Undoubtedly, the sound of footsteps going up the stairs.
They were not even alone, but many.
Is there anyone who has not been able to climb up this not so high stairway yet?
If it were the Ernes Empire, it would bear ridicule.
The Marquis of Phrygia, who turned her head, wondering if they, the Elmark Empire, would have to pay the price of shame, instinctively felt a creepy feeling.
The rapidly contracting muscles showed how tense the body was.
Sweat from the heat that runs down your cheeks turns into cold sweat.
It’s like a beast’s posture with a lot of vigilance in front of a predator higher than itself so as not to look weak at all.
And even the rising sun hides its original traces by covering it with a blanket of clouds as if he were considerate of him.
Immediately, one step at a time.
The one who appeared clearly from beyond the stairs was Ferzen von Schweig Ruerg, who was slowly ascending, leading the five northern nobles.
Get food!
Birds sitting nearby enjoying the sun spread their wings in a hurry and fly away.
At the same time, the Marquis Phrygia clenched her fists, facing his reddish-red eyes, which were more clearly visible in the shadows.
It’s been a while since I’ve felt a chill like this.
I promise, I have never experienced anything other than the Empress Gremory Eldin Ishtar Elmark.
If she had been born as a man, it must have looked like that.
So he had doubts.
Why is it that the person who will become the king and the person who holds the vessel are claiming to be a pillar?
In particular, the people who were following him, the people of the Ernes Empire’s camp were also confused as to whether the northern nobles were right.
again.
Ferzen, who immediately climbed the stairs and stopped walking, glanced at the Marquis Phrygia, who was at the forefront of the Elmark Empire, and moved toward the second prince–Raymond, maintaining an indifferent expression.
okay… …
Those who faced eternal winter.
Finally, after chasing summer, they arrived at the Lobelium Kingdom.
* * * * *
“Forgive me for being late. His Majesty the Prince.”
“ha ha ha… … ! It’s never too late.”
The Second Prince realized once again the value of the Brutein bloodline.
The priority is the safety of the empire, but since he was also born as a man, how could he not covet the position of the emperor?
However, he clearly realized that the bloodlines of the imperial family covet the throne in order to win their support.
The momentum that had been shattered, broken and leaned to one side only appeared and joined, and it healed in an instant, hiding the cracks.
“Go. I will take care of Princess Elizabeth.”
Ferzen, who naturally stretched out her elbow and made the armrest to be able to hang her hand, bowed her head as she faced Princess Elizabeth.
Princess Elizabeth glanced at the Marquis of Phrygia beyond, and carefully placed her hand on his strong forearm.
“Thank you… … ”
“You’re talking about everything.”
As time passes on only one side, the people of the Ernes Empire side enter the palace one by one following Prince 2 walking in the front.
And soon before it was Fersen’s turn to set foot with Princess Elizabeth, the Marquis of Phrygia looked up at him and spoke.
“Unlike the current head of Brutein, I have only heard about you in words. It is an honor to meet you.”
“… … ”
“Well, you and I must be meeting for the first time. Don’t you think it’s too much to frown at the beginning?”
Indeed, there is a rather shameless corner to hear.
Thinking that it wasn’t wrong, Ferzen turned his head and answered.
“All men with warped walls have their own problems.”
“… … ”
Ferzen had once accused him of being a homos*xual race by simply turning his appearance to look like a parasitic brother, but the Marquis of Phrygia could not accept it as ancient.
“Hmm. How do you mean… … Who did you hear from?”
At the same time as the voice of Marquis Phrygia asking a question, the front row begins to move.
In response, Ferzen took a step with Princess Elizabeth and threw out a single word with her characteristic voice.
“I heard it as a rumor.”
… … Soon after, as Ferzen entered the palace, the sun that had been covering the clouds appeared shyly and shone brightly again.
The birds that had fled returned to their place and began to sing in a sweet voice.
