Common Sense of a Duke’s Daughter

"Prince Alfred was also appreciative of your arms. Several Armenian measures have been taken, and we want to do so as a country."

"Well... Prince Alfred did"

"... you're not surprised, are you?

"I have already heard that you are in this country. Most importantly, since there's a faction like this, the people at the top of it and the people they belong to are in close contact, right?

In fact, the people here are more capable but somewhat distinctive than chills. It's what brings those people together and brings them together… they wouldn't actually talk without the top. Especially in such a difficult phase, it would be difficult to set up a surrogate.

"And if the people here support you... you'll be hearing about my realm."

At any rate, there are many bureaucrats here, headed by Count Sagittaria, the Minister of Finance. If they're following suit, it's not hard to imagine that they're doing quite a bit of government.

"It is a great honor that you are appreciating our territorial government. I just don't know if that suits the country..."

It is also significant that I was pushed to reform that far, because I am the only one at the top. Since this country has a great deal of lordship authority, if reform were to proceed on a national basis, it would take considerable time and effort from negotiations with the respective lords to coordination, etc.

"That one would accomplish it. Changing the existing system, truly as one kingdom"

Read my intentions, or Lady Sagittarius laughed and said. But at the end of the day, I remember a scratch. Change the existing system, truly as one kingdom...?

Count Sagittaria has a niggardly look on his face like a prankster. It's like you're measuring what I'm thinking.

As I said earlier, the authority of the lords of this country is strong. It's basically like having a country on top of it in the image of a single state. For this reason, tax laws and legislation are allowed discretion only insofar as they are not contrary to national law. It's also because of this that I'm free to like it. The only exception is the King's Capital, which is considered the direct jurisdiction of the Kingdom.

Now, if changing the existing system means changing this system... does that mean strengthening the kingdom? Sharpen the power of the lord and concentrate it on the royal family… it may indeed be easier to set up the system as a kingdom. But it's not hard to imagine a big backlash. Is that really possible?

... Before that, why did the Earl of Sagittarius tell me that now? Though I am on this occasion, even though I have not explicitly stated that I belong to the First Prince.

That's all I thought about, and then the conversation just occurred to me.

“Where are we going in the end".

No way, you mean it leads to what I just told you? If… although it's really unlikely, it's possible that the system is in place. I'm like, "What are we going to do?" … I wonder if that's what you want to hear. Do you rebel and become independent… or do you follow the country? He wants to explore my idea of actually doing lord's work as a lord's agent, not your father...

"… I don't know who you are because you haven't been able to see it. So... I can't measure it. But if it does… if it's for the good of the people, there's no better joy for me than this."

I've never met Prince Alfred, so I can't say anything. This is what I really am. So right now, I can't exactly say yes or no.

"It would be.... No, it's funny. Soon enough, I'd like to see you line up next to him."

"Well...... Play. It's a terrible thing to stand side by side."

"This is rude. You're past the prank."

Then, after breaking up with the Earl of Sagittarius, he greeted several people and sat in one of the chairs where the break lay on the edge.

When you look at it like this, all the faces on this scene are really amazing. I'm a little overzealous and tired when I was in conversation with the Count of Sagittaria.

I was tilting the glass while I was thinking about it, and what a host Baron Messy came to my side today.

"How was your meeting today?

"We're having so much fun."

Nickel, paste a grin and respond. Relax, you're going to get tired.

"... Speaking of which, Baron Messy, may I ask you one thing?

"What is it?

"Why are you returning to your territory so soon? Ladies and gentlemen here... except those who are bureaucrats in the Royal Castle... said that you will all remain in the King's Capital for the entire season. After all, I thought you'd all be home by now..."

Baron Messy opened his mouth to me, though I wondered if I had stepped in quite a bit.

'Cause that's what I was given.'

"... Mandate, is it?

"Yep. Miss Iris told Lady Gazelle about the Twill battle...?

"Of course, I'm listening. But my knowledge won't be so different from what's in the book."

"Enough.... As you heard, I once fought under Master Gazelle in the Battle of Twill. And by virtue of his martial arts in the battle, he gave him the title."

Baron Messy, who explains that, has a distant eye.

"But I'm only a member of the military. Giving him the title doesn't change that. And the truce with the Twiles has not been concluded… so as a border keeper, I can't leave much of my territory empty."

... you do think so... but I still don't get it. Although I know that Baron Messy is more vigilant than Count Monroe, who rules the same border territory. But I still feel like it's early. Anyway, I thought I was in critical condition before the official event, the Founding Fathers' Party, and they came home as soon as it was over. I can't help but think we're really close to starting a war.

"I am in a time of war in me right now, and I can't say I don't need to worry because I am absolutely fine with you like that. So just be careful… let's just say. Over there, I don't know if I'll take it to the fight soon, because that country is always after our country."

"Due to the abundance of grains and resources…"

"Yep. Besides, I was wondering if there was any war hatred left 30 years ago"

... war, huh? Armenian territory is quite distant because it is the opposite of the Twile country… so don't get distracted.

Once a war is waged, the burden falls on the realm in many ways.

"Thank you for your advice"

"Welcome to a party like this on a rude topic, excuse me. Now, if you'll excuse me."

"There's nothing wrong with that. I think it was very helpful."
