"... was that the drop place?"

I'm just telling Alfred in front of me how the party went the other day. Still, it's been a long time since I've been to a party, so you're tired.

"It would have been a little more interesting if Ellia and her parents had come out on that occasion. Ellia greeted the aristocrats… and was obsessed and unaware of his exhortation to the forces, and the Marquis was the same."

Alfred nods satisfactorily.

"It wouldn't be good to be too greedy. In front of other countries, there's no reason to show a lot of crap about our country. Still shredding the forces of the Second Prince… and restraint on the neutrals. You're a boulder, grandmother."

"I didn't do anything. If you dare, did I just say Edward's self-destruction…? Still, that kid was so shallow."

"Come on...... Originally, I was seen to be strong. If it's a sign of what's going on, it's called" Losing Stoppers, Running Out. "

To Alfred's words, I do... snort. It's odd to say.

"Was it that baroness... who took that stopper away? Did you find out who you are?

"Yeah, of course....... Rudy"

"Ha."

Rudy, who had refrained beside Alfred, reacted and came out one step earlier.

"I looked into it, and the young lady was the bastard of the Baron Neuer family owner. The other maid was serving the royal castle. She entered the Neuer family at the same time she retired. And at the same time I caged Miss Yuri away from Baron Neuer's house. Baron Neuer seems to have been searching for her whereabouts, but he hasn't been able to find her for more than a decade and found her and picked her up before school enrolled."

Does that mean she lived in Ichii until we found her? Nevertheless, the fact that he still kept searching for it without finding it for more than a decade meant that he was an important figure for the Baron beyond...?

"Yes...... Any other information?

"I'm sorry. We have no other information right now."

"Okay. Let me continue my investigation."

"I'm in awe"

"That said, it would have been more convenient for you to have the stopper off."

"... Well, what is it about"

Ask, Alfred falls in love. Really, you don't expose yourself.

"Some of the second-prince factions will certainly have pulled it off in this case…" The shallower the god in charge, the easier it is to manipulate. "Something that sears out those people, but the more Edward looks like it, the better. So it's convenient for you, right?

"... you can't deny that he thinks he'll be a good bait"

Although Alfred said so with a bitter laugh, I agree greatly. Protect the people at the forefront... There is hardly a house that has the possession and power of a former nobleman. Ning Ro, how prosperous your home… take pride in your self-satisfaction and only repeat the usurpation of rights and forces for your own personal self-interest. Such people would be the subject of even royal use.... Then there's no better master than Edward. Anyway, if you lift it properly, anything behind it seems to be up to you.

If we don't take advantage of that child, there will be others in the Second Army.... That's extra because Alfred isn't on the table. Whatever, Alfred hasn't been on the chronological stage for more than a decade. Even the school attended by aristocratic children was so thorough that they went by hiding royal names. How many of you will remember him as a toddler? From a first prince without even a name, a second prince available... and. You think so.

But on the contrary, it is now also a chance to sweep away such students. The more that kid behaves like yesterday's party.

"... so? I wonder if you can muscle in the future."

………

I tried to ask, but the advice was silent. I'm just smiling. You really can't read my grandson's thoughts and emotions.

"Well, that's good. Whatever your muscles are, I got on with it. I don't care what happens, I'm just going to do a good job of clowning."

As long as Baroness Yuri is around, Edward can't count on it. I knew that well at the last party. Though I didn't even think about putting her up for a moment and me taking real power... the obstacles and the risks are too great. Then you don't have to know what you're thinking… who can entrust the future of this country is the Alfred choice in front of you. Even if Alfred falls short of my expectations, he's better than that kid.

"... Speaking of which, I called Iris to the party this time. You've grown so beautiful."

If I said so, I had a slight reaction with Pickle.... though it soon returned to a smile that could not read any of the original emotions.

"Grandmother. Why did you call her all the time?

It makes me happy with its voice color, which has a little thorn. I mean, I care a lot about her.

"Oh, I love hard working girls. Of course you want to see me once, don't you?

If I recall, I will be overflowing with laughter. An atmosphere with a face similar to that of Mary and the blood of the Duke of Armenia. Hehe... if Mary is a big wheel rose, Iris is a clean beauty as Rin as a lily. Fun is different, my favorite girlfriend.

"Plus, it would be a plus for Iris, wouldn't it? Mary said she was getting an invitation from the other side."

"... there's no way you can stay away from her."

"I guess so. Her background, track record, appearance, and blood muscles… all attractive things. Don't Alfred think so, too?

"Right."

Alfred replies, floating. Oh, already. I think you might want to break my expression a little bit more. While I thought so, I was still observing Alfred, and I noticed that gaze and deepened my grin like I was in trouble again.

"I said something, didn't I?

"No? Nothing in particular"

I wonder if I can do any more shaking. Well, let's just say I saw Alfred's upset, even if only slightly.

"With that said, Alfred. In your eyes, what about the Armenian Dukes?

"What does that mean?

"It's about the consular government and the system.... I have no intention."

"In a nutshell, is it interesting...? We have a variety of measures in place. One thing that bothered me is its growth and combat power. I wouldn't be surprised if, 100 years from now, the Armenian Dukes were more prosperous than the whole country."

"Again, is that right? I'm not happy that one house is overpowered. … Nevertheless, the development of each territory is also essential for the development of the country. That's a constant blur."

"That being said, you won't be spearing anything against that house because it's about your grandmother. The Royal SS and the Armenian Duke's family guard, with the same level of sophistication, are good evidence."

"Well, yeah. In view of the fact that the current emperor supports the entire country as a prime minister, including in the present era... and the aristocratic nobility that contributes to the country more than any other nobleman... the status quo, in particular, does not seem to be willing to do anything."

Not only does he do a good job as Chancellor, but the Armenian Duke family is a home that contributes to the royal family for the price. Something better to have power in that house of credibility than to shred your power poorly and go elsewhere.

Then we talked about a few practical aspects. Alfred is already a little bit absent from the back, filling the hole that Edward is softening up with the Chancellor. Lately, I've been putting my hideout aside to get to the point. The guy I used to take the pestle...

"... then, grandmother. I beg your pardon."

At the end of what was to be talked about, Alfred took a moment to cut it up and go.
