“Things are good.”

Marquis Phrygia licked her lips and smiled.Last night’s earthquake must be a boon for them.
To be honest, I thought it was the Ernes Empire with a high probability, but natural disasters such as earthquakes are naturally accompanied by the sound of magical power, so it was difficult to say that it was someone else’s work.
In the beginning, what the Elemental Mage did on the earth was a realm of interference that hardly left a trace.
But at this moment, it didn’t matter in the slightest.
Even if it is a natural phenomenon.
As long as the public is following them, if Prince Inas comes forward and gives a useful speech… …
It could quickly cause revolutions at best, or riots at worst.
“I have to go find Prince Inas. Where is he now?”
“It’s on Bennen Hill.”
“Benen Hill?”
“… … It’s kind of like a cemetery.”
“under.”
At the words of the subordinate who followed, Marquis Phrygia snorted and got up.
“No matter how you look at it, he doesn’t look like a vessel worthy of a king.”
At such an important moment, to be engulfed in emotions, wasting time in vain.
“It would have been a better life to have been born as a girl and had to work for a man.”
tt
The Marquis of Phrygia, who was walking while kicking her tongue, thought it would be counterproductive to bring him straight to reality, who was still in sorrow for a long time. went.
* * * * *
jerk.
On the hill of Bennen, where the smell of the dead wafts.
Walking there, the Marquis of Phrygia seemed to understand why the Lobelium Kingdom had built a cemetery here.
‘The view beyond is nice.’
For those who have returned to the underworld, at least I want to present the most beautiful moment in this life.
He smiled at the emotional line he couldn’t sympathize with, but as soon as he saw Prince Inas’s back, he forcibly covered his sadness.
“… … It is unfortunate.”
“… … ”
Putting down the flowers she had brought in nearby, the Marquis Phrygia stood next to Prince Inas and murmured in a calm voice.
“okay. Indeed… … It’s unfortunate.”
“You will have to overcome it.”
“… … ”
“Earthquakes are natural phenomena, but they haven’t happened in years. It’s like a coincidence that it happens at this time… … ”
“Is that what the Ernes Empire did?”
“I cannot deny that possibility.”
“… … ”
“Even if it were a natural phenomenon, we could drive out the Ernes Empire with this event.”
Sitting comfortably next to Prince Inas, the Marquis Phrygia continued.
“Even in this situation, do you think I’m rude to discussing the future?”
“… … ”
“Prince. The time you are wasting today is the tomorrow that those who died yesterday longed for.”
“hahaha… … ”
“Maybe you were frightened by witnessing so many deaths.”
But.
“As a royal, you must not fear death. Rather, we should be afraid of not doing our duty.”
“… … ”
“You won’t have much time. The Ernes Empire will try to beat the players before they put pressure on them… … It would be a lot easier to get there before that.”
At the words of the Marquis of Phrygia, Prince Inas remained silent.
Their people, who have been forced to leave their homeland and have been subordinated to the capital for a long time.
… … The national capital should have been a land of opportunity for them.
Prince Inas felt deeply guilty for failing to do so and for taking the role of a prison and seizing their lives.
“marquis.”
“Tell me.”
“Once the work in progress is in place… … There will probably be a food shortage in the near future.”
“Yes.”
“… … Can you provide enough wheat and barley?”
“It will be difficult right now. But don’t worry, autumn is coming soon.”
soon… …
Autumn, the season of harvest, is still about two months away.
‘I… … ‘
who to trust
At the fork in front of him, Prince Inas was short of breath.
Which way is the right path to take?
It was hard to get a sense of it, so my shoulders were heavy.
‘At least… … ‘
With the Elmark Empire, who are not willing to bear the risk of a certain line.
Let’s look at the Ernes Empire, which has been fighting for the existence of the imperial family, risking their own history.
Prince Inas could clearly feel which way the scales naturally leaned.
“… … will you go away I will commemorate them a little more and then let them go down.”
“You are.”
The Marquis of Phrygia, who stood up without saying anything, gave a brief bow and quietly retreated.
Prince Inas, who was sitting alone on the hill of Bennen, opened his mouth to the warm wind blowing.
“I’m sorry that I can only make this choice.”
Even if they raised their hand on the side of the Ernes Empire, it was only an option that did not make the situation worse.
Even if there is a better option out there somewhere.
It wasn’t his choice, so Prince Inas smiled bitterly.
“someday… … A long time has passed… … If you are born again in this world through reincarnation… … ”
Then, step on this ground once more.
“The Lobelium Kingdom that will surely exist in the distant future… … ”
It must be a better place than it is now.
“And in the future, if the country hears about the wretched prince… … ”
Have a drink and be happy to laugh.
Beetle.
Prince Inas raised his body and bowed his head.
And when he raised his head again, his eyes were shining brighter than ever.

“Aren’t you going to ask me outright?”
“… … ”
“Unlike you, it’s not appropriate to squint and squint.”
Before facing the first prince of the Lobelium Kingdom, Princess Elizabeth felt Ferzen’s gaze and smiled at him and turned her head.
“The work… … Did you do it well?”
“Well. Shouldn’t that be something to be judged by looking at the results after the first prince leaves?”
“… … ”
“But he was crying like a little child. The width of the main woman’s skirt is soaking wet.”
Princess Elizabeth, who was reminiscing on last night’s podium, shrugged her chin as if in a strange sentiment.
Ferzen naturally shifted his gaze towards the width of her skirt.
To be honest, I highly appreciate the aspect Prince Inas showed me as a prince of a vassal country.
It is said that such a man buries his face in the width of a woman’s skirt and cries like a child… …
For Ferzen, it was a picture that could hardly be drawn in his mind, so he could not say anything and closed his mouth firmly.
Then, realizing that Ferzen’s gaze was near her skirt, Princess Elizabeth smiled and spoke in a soft voice.
“How? Have you ever been so hard on yourself that you bury your face in the width of your mother’s skirt and cry?”
Princess Elizabeth holding her skirt with her slender fingers and waving a loose skirt.
To say it was a joke, there was so much glamor that it was hard to accept it as it is.
If this is her charm, it is undoubtedly her charm, but… …
“My Majesty the Princess. It is a frivolous act.”
Ferzen opened her mouth firmly, as if urging it.
“huh. Where is the bloodline of the imperial family that can’t even joke?”
“… … ”
“It was done. I have two wives anyway, and I can’t imagine seeing you crying so much that even the width of their skirts can’t handle it.”
As if her excitement had cooled, Princess Elizabeth raised her body and extended her hand.
His older brother, Prince Raymond, is in front of him, so naturally he entrusts the escort to Ferzen next to him.
Ferzen also got up and took her hand softly.
Then you can clearly feel the tremor of your fingertips.
It was a reaction contrary to her relaxed appearance, so Ferzen deliberately lost her focus and looked at Princess Elizabeth.
“If you’re trying to give me a simple word of consolation, stop.”
“… … ”
“Didn’t you say that moderate tension is rather beneficial?”
“… … Yes.”
If there is anyone to entrust the escort to, there must be someone other than yourself.
The reason she chose herself was probably because she was of Brutein’s blood.
Because Brutein had been watching the imperial family’s weakness for a very long time.
“count.”
“Yes.”
“If there is a war… … Do you think we can win?”
“Why are you asking something obvious?”
At first glance, Ferzen’s voice, giving an answer without a single thought, seemed to accept her question with a dry look, but for some reason, Princess Elizabeth felt her confused mind calmly calmed down.
“… … okay. I believe that there will never be any chance that the original woman will be turned into the spoils of an enemy country.”
Finally this conversation.
The nobles of the Ernes Empire entered the palace following Prince Raymond, who was walking in the lead.
The time to throw the dice they are holding is approaching.
