A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World

William's explanation continues.

"... then the prophecy that I would be a princess..."

"Yeah, I'm from Mr. Takeo.

Reports have come to the conclusion, to be precise, that this was not the case at the meeting between Mr Takeo and the five Wang Metropolitan Guards.

It further strengthened my conviction that Mr. Erica was the Crown Princess... in fact, due to Alice's report.

"Lord Alice?

Erica sees Alice but Alice says nothing.

"Yeah. I had a drink with Mr. Takeo and the others two days ago. Right?

"Huh?... Yes, I did have a drink with Lord Alice and the others.

"Mr. Erica, did you not talk about your name or your marriage in that seat?

"... I probably said it.

"Alice was casually listening, but I was pretty sure the name was almost certain when we heard it.

It was also notified that the fourth prince, Chico Creto Catlanda, had officially succeeded him along with a notification that the third princess had died.

"... did you get information from me..."

Erica is dismayed.

"Yes.

The name Erica and his grandparents, the Kilos surname, and even his brother's name Chico.

And the anecdote that the other guy collapsed at the wedding...

Nobility with so much contact with the third princess cannot be normal.

"Yes... you're right.

Erica notices.

"So we, the Third Prince, decided to protect Erica and the others in confidence with the First and Second Princes.

"... are you keeping it to yourself?

"Yes, it would be good if His Majesty, the prime minister, who is the head of the civil service, and the chairman of the Council of Lords, who is the head of the nobility who works for the King's capital, knew about this matter.

His Majesty is not willing to use Mr. Erica for political purposes at this time.

"... so far?

"Yes, so far.

Erica, just because you gave back how much of the throne doesn't change your blood muscles.

That's the same for me, but until I die... no, it involves all my offspring.

It is the fate of those born in the top houses of the country, whether royal or imperial.

But don't worry, Erica.

My Majesty and I are not willing to use Mr. Erica to do anything to the Katlanda Empire.

I believe that domestic and territorial stability is only a mission.

"... yes.

But does it slow down to do something?

"... Erica, what does the Katlanda Empire think?

We've been trying to do something in the last few years, haven't we?

"... what about it?

Erica answers William without losing sight.

"Well, the kingdom of Azpar pays attention to what the Katlanda Empire does, but it recognizes that the basic unbeatable (...) is of paramount importance.

Let me hit a lot of fabric stones for that... "

"... yes.

"Our concern... is the possibility of the death of His Royal Highness Prince Chico, 4th Prince.

Alma says.

Erica and Cassandra breathe in.

"We in the Kingdom of Azpar are moving to maintain our current borders.

I think the Katlanda Empire knows that.

"It's... yes.

"We believe that if His Majesty the Next Emperor dies before he makes a son, the Katlanda Empire will waver.

We don't want to shake the kingdom of Azpur because of that.

If so, we are also thinking of sending Erica's children to the Katlanda Empire in case.

Alma says with a serious face.

"It's..."

"It would be outrageous for adults to decide their fate even though they haven't had children. But that's what our house said. We also have to think about the situation. To each other.

Neither me nor Erica can really mean anything to the civilian position.

"I do know what you're saying.

We also know what the kingdom of Azpur is trying to take.

But doesn't the use endanger Chico's position?

"I guess.

That's why few people need to know where Mr. Erica comes from.

We do not want the fall of the Katlanda Empire, we want it to be a stone to prevent it from collapsing.

So it's only a way of dealing with His Highness Chico until he's born.

"... yes.

Erica had to snort at William's words.

"And I said what I thought when I saw the entire kingdom of Azpur, but as a matter of fact, as a third prince family, we are not willing to use Erica as a tool of politics, nor are we willing to discuss the Katlanda Empire.

Rather, it is the most important issue for me to express my opinions on us.

Leila says in a bright voice.

"Really?

"Yes, the whole kingdom is what His Majesty thinks, and with the Katlanda Empire and the Wilip United Nations, my brother improves.

It's our job to think about dealing with the demonic kingdom and our connection with the Count Territory facing the demonic kingdom.

Of course we have to run the territory.

"Yes."

"So we only think about Erica's children in terms of coverage for the country.

Besides, we are basically not willing to use our children as tools of politics.

If the king tells me to use it, I will consult Erica properly.

Leila says.

"What happens if there is nothing in Chico?

"Huh? Will Mr. Erica be a national of the kingdom of Azpur?

Erica, your kids can work under us, you can open a store, and you can live as you please?

Alma says strangely.

"Don't you think I'd set something up?

Erica asks.

"Set it up... you're usually caught on charges of overthrowing the state.

Besides, the neighboring aristocrats have ties to Alma and Leila.

I will not pepper Erica's sweet words.

Besides, do you think Mr. Takeo and Alice will leave you alone?

William says.

"It's..."

"We are royal, but from Mr. Takeo and Alice, we are sisters-in-law.

You're related, aren't you?

"... right.

"And Erica, what do you want to do by taking over the kingdom of Azpur?

You wouldn't put William on the throne, would you?

The 1st Crown Prince family has a son.

Alma says.

"Huh?... then.

"Yes, we, the Third Prince family, are the most distant royal family to the throne.

I didn't originally expect to get to the throne.

Then only hope for the prosperity of the given territory.

I'm sorry, Erica, but using us will not benefit the Katlanda Empire.

Rather, it would only jeopardize our position if we gave our opinion on the Katlanda Empire and the Wilip Union.

Leila says.

"Really?

"Yeah. That's why I can ask you to come under us.

"I see.

That's right.

"So, what do you say?

Do you think you can do it right?

Oh, if you can't, tell me you can't.

I'll take care of it.

"Oh... is that quite it?

"I'm in a hurry to get ready to run the territory... and I can't do much else.

As long as Erica and the others are good, please start tomorrow.

"Huh?... so much?

"" Yeah.

Alma and Leila laugh bitterly.

"... okay. With a slight force, I and Cassandra will take on the consultancy of His Highness William.

"Dear Erica, are you sure?

Cassandra asks.

"Yeah, it's better this way than looking for what you want to do.

Besides, if you work in the royal family, you'll find what you really want to do... "

"Tell me if you find out about that area.

Let's make it convenient on the condition that it does not violate the laws of the Kingdom of Azpur and that it does not threaten the standing of our family.

"Okay.

Well, thank you for sending our regards.

Erica took a seat and raised her head deeply.
