Akuyaku Reijo Ni Koi Wo Shite

Among the audience rooms in the castle, this is a place used for informal occasions that do not need to be very formal. It is not strange that the king and queen are here. Unless the opponent is only the Guard Knight.

There is no need to use an audience room for meetings with the Knight of the Guard. All you have to do is speak normally in the office. Nevertheless, there are only three people in this place because there are people to be with after this and we have a meeting before that.

And even this is an excuse. The reason they're meeting here is because they don't want to tell others. For example, even if the stiffness of the mouth is a royal aide with origami.

"In conclusion, Vincent Woodwill and Eriel Woodwill were absolutely innocent."

"I know that. It's an ridiculous story of national treason. What I'm listening to is what I'm guilty of doing."

"So I said, absolutely innocent."

"……What did you say?"

The king believed that they were guilty of extortion, but that they were guilty of some crime. But the commander of the Knights of the Guard said that they were not doing anything, just as they said.

"First of all, let's talk about what we have extended to national treason."

"ask"

"First of all, harassment against a female student at the Kingdom Academy, Maria Theodor. I know you are the one who is rumored to be the missing princess."

The commander of the Guard Knight's gaze turned to the Queen. The Queen responds by simply shaking her head. Maria Theodor is not a child born of himself. The Queen knows it without having to make sure.

"... but the letter is treated like a royal family, and that's why it's a disdain for the royal family."

"Is that a fabrication?"

"Did you not know from the beginning that a letter of advance is made?"

"That's ... well, yes."

The Guard Knight is strictly strict with the King. I know from an early age that I still have a strong sense of mission that I need to grow up into a respectable king.

"Now, regardless of whether they are royal or not, they are not involved in any of the harassment against Maria Theodor. There is no fact that some have tried to take advantage of the power of Eriel Woodville. It was only at the beginning. ''

"... I don't know. Why can you convict me?"

"Someone was trying to rub sin against Eriel Woodville."

"Who is it?"

"Till then. That's the information I've heard from him on condition of anonymity."

"... I don't know that."

The witness is Rion. If it is a Lion, it is safe to protect Airiel. Rather, I would definitely defend it.

The king thought this, but was soon denied by the Knights of the Guard.

"It looks like you have the evidence. Aeriel Woodville, so long, she's called Miss Aeriel. I've noticed that there's someone rubbing her against her, and I need to gather evidence in case of emergency. I was doing it. "

"Did you confirm the evidence?"

"No, I just showed you what was going to change and said that the true culprits would have little benefit and wouldn't reveal it."

"What a ..."

The first word is a bitter irony. He sees through that he does not intend to reveal the truth.

"Just imagination."

"Is that so?"

"Maria Theodor or Charlotte Lanchester. They were the two people who were involved in this case."

"Is it your own work?"

"It seemed that there was an atmosphere that seemed to be true. No matter how harassed she was, Maria did not seem to be able to bear it. However, probably the true culprit is Miss Charlotte."

"Reason?"

"At the execution site, Maria was clearly resentful of him, and she couldn't protect them."

"I see. What is the purpose of Miss Charlotte?"

"The purpose is to break the engagement. Then why ..."

What we do not say in the future is the care of the Knight Guard.

"... I see. Miho no longer has an older daughter."

If Airiel falls outside his fiance, Charlotte is the next candidate. But the King ruled out that choice. Because of the punishment for Charlotte.

"Next is disrespect for Prince Arnold. This is subtle."

"subtle?"

"If the Crown Prince is profane, it is profane."

"Hey, that's it."

The king has no choice but to cheat on the intense irony of the commander of the Guard Knights. After all, the uproar was caused by Prince Arnold. The commander of the Guard Knight says:

"Once again, I was able to investigate the spirit and rebellion of the rebellion that has spread to the Kingdom Academy, and as far as I was concerned, the rebels seemed to be studying students who had a passion for the kingdom. It was. "

"Is that certain?"

"I will judge so"

"... I didn't mind trying to attack at the execution site."

No matter what you ask, the Commander Knight wants this. The king decided to respond.

"Wish"

Hearing the desired answer, Commander Knight seems to be satisfied.

"Are there any other students? I heard that criticism of Arnold was imposing on campus."

"It seems that the storm against the Crown Prince has been quite strong for a long time, but that seems to have been caused by the fact that His Highness hurt Miss Airiel."

"... So what is the impact of this?"

"Worst. Vincent and Miss Airiel both had overwhelming support, especially from low-profile students. Many of the students were convicted, and many of them were false charges. I know that. "

"Really……"

An adverse effect beyond the king's imagination. In this case, the kingdom has lost the trust of many of the good students of the commoners. It is quite doubtful that they will do their best for the kingdom as a king.

"To be clear, this is a terrible failure."

There, the commander of the Guard Knight followed.

"I know it"

"No, I don't think I know. What has the kingdom lost? How far have you imagined it?"

The King's education of the Knights of the Guard has not yet begun. On the contrary, it is production from here.

"Is there any more?"

"One thing. The queen who may have been the most liked by the people in kingdom history. Your Majesty should consider the consequences."

"... I see."

Public support. This is the power of the royal family. No matter how powerful the aristocrats are, it is the territory that underlies that power. If the people are facing the royal family, nobles can't turn their powers toward the royal family. Not only in direct force, but also in political influence.

The royal family lost the opportunity to gain the support of the people. Ultimately, you have lost the opportunity to regain absolute kingship.

"Next. A marquis who wants to be loyal to His Majesty even if he bets on his life. Isn't this person ever since the founding?"

"It's ... maybe."

The House of the Three Houses is at the heart of the kingdom, but also a king of the royal family. Not only the Three Houses, but the more powerful nobles, they give priority to their own interests. If the aristocrat gains power, the power of the royal family will relatively weaken.

In the early days of the kingdom's founding, for example, the noble family supported the royal family with loyalty, after the kingdom became powerful, the dedication to the royal family was limited to the top.

"The kingdom has let go of what it may not have in decades to come. Think about what it means."

"……Do you get it"

It is not only the responsibility of Prince Arnold, but also that of the King who has forgiven that he can move things as he wishes without checking the details. This action is like abandoning the king's right. Although the commander of the Guard Knight feels the sense of crisis so far.

"I've given you an overview. What will you do?"

"One last thing"

"What is it?"

“What is that power?

"I don't call that a battle. It's just that he punched out of the gap that was distracted by the Crown Prince and others, and pushed it all at once. "

"Really"

"but……"

"Hmm?"

"I had something that made me think I had to go through that gap. It wasn't obvious either. He wasn't turning on the attack. Until what happened when I forgave it I don't know unless I actually see it. "

"……Do you get it"

That's the story of the legendary world, such as users of multi-attribute magic. But Rion actually showed it in front of him. As I showed it, it was just that the fire and water were in the form of a little dragon and a person, nobody knows what it could do.

"So, do you have an audience?"

"Oh, Rion is here."

"Wish"

◇◇◇

After a short time, Rion has been drawn into the audience room, and the expression that he has been drawn is perfect. Its hands and feet are chained in the same way Vincent did. The knight dragged his crippled Rion, taking his arms from both sides.

The Queen looks at the appearance with a painful expression.

"It was a hard time.

"However?"

"I'm there. No problem."

He told the hesitating knight, and he was forced to lower his commander midway. I don't want to tell people about the future as much as possible.

"Give your face"

Rion, kneeling down, commanded the Guard Knight to raise his face. There is no response from Rion. Still facing down.

"I'm telling you to raise your face. Or do you want to force it up?"

At last the words like this threatened Rion. No eyepatch. The red and blue eyes were clearly visible to the king and queen sitting in front.

The king who growls involuntarily. Not against odd eyes. Look at Rion's entire face.

The king, who is watching the queen by his side, is not fooled by black hair and odd eyes. At first glance, Rion was found to look just like the Queen. The beautiful face of Rion's woman was her mother's name, the kingdom's name.

The Queen looks unbearable and has tears in her eyes. This confirms that Rion is two children. Nevertheless, neither the king nor the queen calls Rion a son.

The myth that odd eyes call misery is widely known in the world. The king can't do that ridiculously and laugh. There are many such stories in this world, and many believe that many are true. It's a world where science is more disgusting and hated.

What's more, Vincent, where Leon was serving, was actually sentenced to death. Anyone who believes that it is Rion's odd eye will come out.

Rion, who feels unhappy, cannot be recognized as a royal family. In the first place, if it could be done, Rion was just born and never left the castle.

Rion was not abducted. The child was abandoned by her mother, the queen who knew she had an ominous odd eye. This is the truth that the Queen has always hidden. Fourteen years later, the king came to know.

"Rion. Is this your real name?"

The king and queen are already convinced that Rion is their child. But even knowing that, the Commander Knight did not stop seeking clear proof. I think that's my role as a third party.

"... I don't understand the meaning of the question"

"Who named Rion?"

"... Eriel"

"In other words, there is another name. What is that name?"

"Even if I had another name, the one with that name died. I am now Lion."

Frey died in favela. Ryo also died in a traffic accident in the original world. It is true that the will is dead, even if the will remains, and Rion is a fusion of the will of both, inheriting the will and neither of them.

Rion is talking about the truth seriously, but it cannot be understood.

"... I'll tell you the name of the dead."

The commander of the Knights of the Guard knew, in a emotional sense, but dared to listen to Ron's words. There is no reason. I just thought that Rion would speak.

"why?"

"Because it is necessary."

"... Frey"

And Leon tells Frey's name. I know that Ryo doesn't communicate well. This resulted in the king's desired answer.

"Really……"

With this, the commander of the Guard Knight was convinced. The name of Frede, the abandoned prince, is known only to the queen and the midwife who was taken away by the queen. He had only decided to be Frey for boys and Fear for girls with the king, but the child was reportedly a princess. This is to make the search target wrong.

Thus, if you see yourself as a missing princess, it will all be fake. The Queen was not hurt by the appearance of the fake, but rather by the guilt of abandoning her child.

"Now, it's a punishment for you, but the King's exceptional religion has put him in prison for the past few days.

Even if this is conveyed, joy does not appear on Rion's face. I'm just listening silently with an invisible emotional face.

"I want to talk about the future."

Here the king took the story from the commander of the Guard Knight. From here on, it is no longer a conversation with the sinner.

"The Marquis of Winheel has been asking you to return. What do you think about this?"

"... I'm long away from the Winheels, and I'm not obliged to follow it."

The king knew what Leon would say. Just before the Winheel House, I just told the shape.

"So, why don't you become Konoe? I think you have that much power."

"... It's better to stop it."

"Why is it so?"

"I just die my precious Prince."

"Away! This rude person!"

Before the king said anything, the commander of the Guard Knight shouted. Lion's statement indicates a clear murder of Prince Arnold. Such a statement cannot be forgiven as a guard.

"If you can't blame, kill me with that sword! Or is your loyalty just your mouth?"

Rion shouted as fast as she could. The commander of the Guard Knight is amazed at Rion's heroism with the shout. Did you know that Leon was a prince, so you were pressured by that supremacy? The commander of the Guard Knight could not judge.

And the thought is the same with the king. That causes anxiety in the king's heart. I'm worried if I can keep Lion alive.

As he overlooked the king's thoughts, the Queen took action.

"Don't say that."

"... I want to make up for death."

"Who is it for? ま し た I was at the execution that day, but I don't think your loved one wanted it."

On the day Vincent was killed, the queen was at the execution site. I didn't want to be present at the public execution, but I felt like I had to go that day. Rion appeared as if led by fate. It was the Queen who asked the King to help Leon.

"... but I swear I'll protect my important people even if they turn them into lives."

"To whom?"

"that is……"

"Isn't that person your important person?"

"……It is an important person"

The expression of Rion changes to something painful in the words of the queen. I don't know what to do. Such anguish had emerged.

"Don't you have to protect that person? Is that what you are entrusted to the lost person?"

"... I don't know what face to look at. I've killed that person's loved one."

"Do you want to meet?"

"……House"

"I just want to meet you. If you fit, laugh if you want to laugh, if you want to cry, just cry. Isn't that honest with your feelings and that's a sincerity to the other person?"

"……Yes"

For some reason the Queen's words come straight into my heart. Rion can't tell that it was due to the mother and child.

"I'm really searching for where Eriel Woodville is going.

Here the king broke in. There is no doubt about her expression anymore. If you watch the conversation with the queen, you cannot kill Rion.

"... I know where I am."

"What? How is it?"

It is said that Rion has found Aeriel, who cannot be found by issuing a king's edict. The king is getting lost.

"I knew that I was going to be enslaved. If so, I could do whatever I could."

"That's why ..."

It takes some power to make that move. Rion has acquired that power at this age and in the presence of a follower. That's amazing. The fear of Leon comes to the king's heart again.

"Your Majesty, did you have another suggestion?"

In addition, the queen moves to stop the king's thinking at exquisite timing. You can do it because you have been with them for many years.

"... That's right. Actually, there is another thing I'm thinking about your future."

"What?"

"There is a royal territory on the eastern border.

"……Yes?"

"I'm not a substitute. I'm giving you the territory you give. I'm giving you a baron. I'm not doing anything, but I can't go any further. Don't expect it to be a territory. Yes, but the industry isn't prospering, and the tax revenues are low, but the military costs. "

The king made a statement at this point. Rion said, it took a little time to sort out the King's words. The king's proposal does not indicate to himself who was just a sinner.

"……seriously?"

"No wonder"

"Isn't that what you're doing?"

"It's ..., don't tell me why."

Stunning behavior like a king of a country. Rion took this as a penalty for dropping Vincent and Eriel for innocence. But, in fact, he has a fondness for a territory, at least for Rion who can't make his son public.

The king has not told a lie. Rion just misunderstood himself.

"I think I should take it."

I want the queen to accept it by all means. I think this is the only way to stay connected with Rion.

"Why?"

"Can your important person endure the lives of ordinary people?"

"Ah……"

The Queen's words brilliantly hit Rion's key points. Aeriel, who grew up as a daughter of the noble family of the Marquis, cannot live for the commoners. Rion knows that even the changing of clothes was largely left to the maid.

Leon receives this proposal. That said, in my mind, if you don't like it, you just have to escape. Anyway, anything can be released.

Rion wanted to meet Eriel as soon as possible because she chose to live.

The audience room after Lion and the Queen, who is trying to see him off while leaving.

"I don't seem to be saying my Majesty."

"What do you mean?"

"I feel like I made a big mistake"

"... failed?"

The King knows what the Guard Knight wants to say. The king has the same feeling.

"Yes. No matter how much you buy Queen's anger, you should have killed him."

"I know how I feel, but I can't tell it. Even the king is a child. Don't look at that queen's face beyond my feelings."

"... it's me too"

One more thing was lost. An entity called a master who greatly develops the kingdom. It should have been evaluated against Prince Arnold, but was counted as one of the two lost.

The moment they came to mind, they thought that Leon should be turned off, but that would never happen. The world needed Rion a little later.
