Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician
428, take a new step.
"I'm home."
"Welcome home."
When I came back from discussing the Grand Duke and the Duke, everyone greeted me with a smile.
"How did it go with the Grand Duke and the Duke?
And Rosemary asks.
"There was no problem. Shake hands, check inside each other's breasts... we seem to have been caring about each other, and I think the relationship between the three families will get better from now on. He's calm about the country and the arrangements he's made, so he's keeping the status quo."
Mallane grinned when she answered that, and Rosemary looked a little conceived while covering her mouth with a feather fan.
"If…, most of the nobles in each faction would be comfortable with the policy. It's not like what they've had before is threatened, and if you want more than that, you'll be stunned by the three houses, right?
"Right. I think I have to be in a different position."
I suppose the opposition is certainly in their respective factions, but I can say that was a situation where the policy above had obtained a pardon that it was consistent with their claims.
What if they tell you to go against the three houses until you take the risk? Since Rosemary also lost her legs, most of the nobles she had ever been with have kept their distance, and experience suggests that the majority of nobles seem to have the view of wind watching chickens. Well, I guess that stands out right.
"And then... you talked about taking good care of some nobles for a good reason."
"I guess so. Though it sounds like a father."
"Are some nobles… about the Lords who govern the Golden Mountains directly?
"Yeah, he said he wouldn't let you do anything to the detriment of a change of policy."
Ashley asked, so I nodded, smiling quietly and she nodded, too. Ashley is also a lord with territory, and I guess she's sensitive to those parts.
"Right. Unlike other nobles in their case, there are emotional parts, not reason or interest, and you can't say it's their responsibility to rebel in the first place."
Claudia closes her eyes. Well, that's right, they're royalty and nobility around here. They're not a strong field.
As far as the lords of Golden Mountain are concerned, they are also, if I may say so, meritorious in previous policies, and part of them is that they had to do so because of environmental reasons. It is unreasonable for them to be disadvantaged by the change of policy above. So unlike the others, they have to be taken into account, so the Kings of Melvin see a consensus.
"Perhaps there will be a reward for my previous achievements."
On top of that, it will take the form of the Grand Duke and the Duke moving towards the elimination of the obsession.
"I'm glad it's going to wrap up nicely"
"Right. The opposition doesn't mean there's no reason."
Nodding at Grace smiling.
"Oh, and then we talked about the island the Duke was talking about."
And when we were all talking about what had just been decided, that's where the woman came in.
"Thank you for waiting. Ready."
Preparing the venue for the celebration seat, it seems.
"Sheila and Illumhilt... are they already going to get ready?
"Yeah. They just called me out."
Serafina answers with a happy grin.
"Thank you both for your cooperation."
The woman thanked him. Hmm. Well... let's just say we move.
Heading to the balcony seat at the reception hotel, the Grand Duke and Duke, the Duchess and Oscar were lined up with Vanessa, Prince Josiah, Princess Stephania and Princess Adriana on the corner of it. They'll show us there, too.
That's right. Touch your face. King Melvin watches the festive seats from the tower near the square. The presence of Princes Josiah and Stephania on the balcony seat would be an indication that the royal family is deeply involved in this reconciliation between the two families.
I suppose it's also there to let you know that it's our policy to sit side by side with Princess Adriana and the Silvatorian group, as well as with Princess Elkham and the Folsetto and the Bahalzad group, to ensure that the country and the rest of the country are aligned in order to combat demons.
"Good day. Wasn't it hard inside to be present in a place of reconciliation?
Princess Stephania grins as she takes her seat in a toast to the face that was coming first to the balcony seat.
"Thank you. Well, I wasn't in a position to make a point."
"I wonder if that's what it means to have that much guts to relate to a demon. When it comes to all that touching and sitting around, that's the only thing that makes me nervous."
Prince Josiah laughs bitterly.
"... I see"
But in my case, I know from the beginning that King Melvin and the Duke are casual, and that the rigour of Grand Duke Devonis is to make the aristocrats, the exchangers, not like it, and that they are actually thoughtful, so there's no reason to be so nervous?
"In fact, it's as reliable as it gets. There is still something emotionally distressing about letting the ambassador stand on the arrow against the demon..."
"If you see that pillar of light, there's no room for disagreement."
"Well... I guess so"
When the Duke takes over the words of Grand Duke Devonis, the Grand Duke nods too.
Is that when you defeated the Dream Devil? That magic at night, I'm sure, would have stood out. Well, there are parts of you that need to do about that if you're going to destroy them exactly, so let's not worry too much about it.
One dish after another is also brought in as we talk. Vanilla-stuffed turkey dishes with plenty of ingredients from the Demonic Watershed... Needless to say, it's quite lavish because it's royal castle dishes. And the other nobles seemed to keep coming together.
In the square is a band of royal castles. And next to it Sheila and Irmhilt, then Justia of Seylan, Dominic of Harpy, and Cyril of Centaur. Illumhilt has smiled with pleasure when he and I are in sight. Sheila has the usual look on her face, but her tail is standing.
Prince Josiah has asked me if I could play in the royal castle's celebratory seat. It is not a full moon day, so it is not a theater, so it is in the form of a business trip to the royal castle.
They say the next step in the band's performance is the steps played by the Illumhilts. It wasn't long after I got back and there was a dream demon incident, so Sheila and Irmhilt seem to have been chased to prep for it... well, I've been practicing there for a long time and I play in the theater, so if it's not a new act, it doesn't seem to be a problem.
When it comes to playing in the royal castle, the problem is the stage device... but it seems that Alfred was making a simple one while I was away. If we put him on the airship, he would be able to start a show anywhere, in fancy language.
The person is… not as Prince Albert for some reason, but as Alfred the Magic Engineer. There may be no afterthought in checking the stage equipment in the Square of the Practitioner. It sounds like fun to play with the equipment... well, it looks like we're having fun...
The reception hotel was busy with the aristocrats who had gathered, but the greeting around seems to be a matching circumstance, either because of King Melvin's greeting from now on, or because the face we are gathering in is the face of face.
Given also that it is the seat of reconciliation between the Grand Duke and the Duke, there will be parts of it that cannot move in a detour. Identify the situation, maybe.
And where most nobles took their seats...... nearby faces such as King Melvin and Chancellor Howard, Knights Chief Mildred, and Court Mage Ricard appeared on the balcony seat of the tower.
When King Melvin spreads his hand, the bragging of the assembled nobles calms down. King Melvin opened his mouth where he could no longer hear the talk.
"- All of you, have gathered well today. Some have already heard some things… This time a new history was made in our country thanks to the work of Josiah, Prince of Kings, and the work of ambassadors from different worlds. Yu - the chief of the royal family, the Grand Duke and the Duke each took their hands together, confirming that they would walk together for the peace of Verdogal and the people living there. This seat is a glorious one to celebrate the ever-growing development of Verdogal and the new doorstep."
With that said, King Melvin looks over at the queens who once cut off their words and lived in line. On the balcony seat the Grand Duke and Duke, sitting next to each other as if to back up King Melvin's words, stood up and smiled and shook hands. The sight gives rise to the applause of the nobles.
"Well, if it's a new gateway, the others will often be concerned. It's a reminder if you can't enjoy the banquet too much to worry about it. Before we begin the feast, we have to touch on a few things to come. Firstly, there is no change in the arrangements made so far between the royal family, the Grand Duke and the Duke family. Bearing in mind that the rest of us are working hand in hand, as always, it's good to move on to what each of us should accomplish."
Settlement has been reached, but the status quo regarding the arrangements has been maintained. That's why it's a circular.
"And one more thing..."
King Melvin calls upon the noble name to rise. Parents of the aristocracy who will be jurors of the Grand Duke and the Duke respectively. I mean - two Kinshan lords.
"Those men followed Verdogal's policy so far, and served the country well, and their respective lords. Therefore, we honor the loyalty of those men and take the prize here. Verdogal begins a new walk today - but it never trivializes the walk he's taken so far and the thoughts engraved there. And the new steps that begin with this will still not be possible without the loyalty of those who have done so. So the rest - no, the rest is expected from those same loyalties. And all those around you, my lords, set this up."
and honor and reward loyalty in front of everyone. Even if the people who are watching the situation have no choice but to treat them lightly, I will not tolerate them.
The two give a deep salute to King Melvin. Saying it on these occasions... I guess it was through the conversation beforehand, and I guess it was making people understand about reconciliation.
When I looked up, they both had a blown out look somewhere. He walks from either side and, like his husband, the Grand Duke, the Duke...... smiles and shakes hands, albeit slightly less. Another big round of applause happened.
King Melvin nodded at the sight and raised his glass.
"Now we begin the feast of celebration with this! Enjoy yourselves!
And the cheer echoes in honor of King Melvin, the Grand Duke and the Duke. The musicians started playing music as if they expected the cheer to calm down.
