Common Sense of a Duke’s Daughter

"... Dear Bern. We'll wait for you here."

"Okay."

... out of the palace.

A majestic place with quiet air, albeit brilliant as a royal palace.

It's like Queen Wang herself, I think.

I walked around there, never visited before, looking around to observe carefully.

Tension rises as you progress and you place your hands on your chest unexpectedly.

of the letter in the inner pocket of the chest, to make sure it exists.

… do what you have to do, exchange.

That's what they told me, a letter to Queen Wang entrusted to me by my father.

Even though it's paper, it feels terribly heavy.

'I'm not going to let anyone know what's inside. Even to a trusted servant.'

That's what my father is, so I guess it's pretty good content.

Do you fear betrayal, or the danger of those who know it, or...

I felt that the latter was more likely to see how I normally trust my servants and cut them off.

No matter how good they were at protecting themselves in the civilian population, they would easily be crushed if the enemy had a card called power.

Even my father was caught and dragged into the darkness of this country......

I was on the hit that you were afraid of that.

Once inside the palace, the servant will guide you but you will continue.

And before we arrived, there was Queen Wang, the present lord of this house.

"Well... did you come here? I wonder if Louis is that bad."

"No, my father's just taking care of me and letting me take care of him, and there's nothing else in his life. I was about to come here again today..."

"Yes..."

My father kept this for me.

Pass the letter taken out to the squire who had refrained from doing so on the side.

Queen Wang received it from her squire and dropped her eyes.

The face of Queen Wang changes after she starts reading the letter. Soft then to that of a strict exchanger.

To the change, nature and tension increase.

Air enough to convince me that this was once even the beginning of a period of war and the king who led this country......

"Do you know what this is about?

I shook my neck to the side of an inquiry from Queen Wang, who read it out.

"Both?

"I don't know."

"Yes... Louis is sweet for a child"

Corollo and Queen Wang laughed.

However, my eyes are cold.

I even felt the cold sweat conveyed on my back when I felt that it was being identified......

"Or is it because you're in a different faction than Louis?

"... I'm so sorry, but I know what you're saying."

"Oh, because you must have been Edward's alumni, right? I hear it was a friendly group, centered around Baron Yuri Neuer."

"... Indeed, I have been good to Lord Edward. But I am from the Duke of Almeria family. I am proud of the Armerian family for draining the Prime Minister from generation to generation. That's why my top priority is the stability of national politics."

"I mean, you just said Edward should get to the throne?

"No. I wonder if it makes sense for the First Prince to reach the throne if it is in accordance with national law. And... no, it's nothing. Excuse me."

"… statements made on this occasion shall be limited to this occasion. Say what you think."

Queen Wang urges me to continue with her mouth.

The pressure from Queen Wang made me anxious that my mouth had slipped, but it was too late to regret it.

"... It's a personal matter, but I was blessed after graduation with the opportunity to save myself. After much thought, I concluded that I was proud of the Duke of Almeria and, at the same time, loved him. … but when I was a student, I stupidly broke it myself"

In retrospect, I can remember it like it was yesterday.

What happened that day.

From the time I enrolled in school until that time, I didn't even look at my sister.

... No, I wasn't trying to see it.

At least I want that woman to like me.

Cut it off, as if that were your stain.

... and as a result, it broke everything.

The look on your face like you gave up all that and despaired when Dorsen suppressed you.

If you think so, say words that make you smile and crack as if you reject everything.

... At that time, I even hated that.

But now that I think back, my spine freezes.

And I'm even dazzled by the magnitude of what I've done.

Selfishly, I abandoned my sister.

Instead, I even thought of it as a pawn to get close to her.

... even though she said she was the sister who separated herself from her blood.

From an early age, the emotions I shared with my sister and the memories I have accumulated.

Many, warm them.

I threw it away when I said that it was because of it that I was now formed.

I can see now that it was like abandoning every thought of how I dreamed of the future I dreamed of.

Once you throw it away and treat it, you might not have been able to get it back.

No, I couldn't get it back if it was true.

Because what happened that day was not only a family bond... but a disdain for my own appreciation.

Still, I can still see the future in this way, probably because it was my sister who should have cut it off that woke me up.

"So I decided I couldn't go wrong anymore. I definitely don't want to hurt my own precious things, and because they do, this time they must be protected. That's what I decided."

That's why I never get to Master Edward's side.

Beginning with the break-up of her engagement to her sister, the church breaking disturbance and harassment of the Azuta Chamber of Commerce, as well as the matter of customs duties in the territory of the Duke of Armenia.

Other than harassment of the Chamber of Commerce, it was not done directly by Mr. Edward, but it can still be said that it happened because there is Mr. Edward.

I don't want to flavor that rejection back then again with my sister that day's despair.

If you have fallen into such a situation, this time you will never leave your sister's side.

... Yes, I was determined.

It's because you reminded me of what's important.

"Are you more about your family than about the future of the kingdom"

"... sorry"

To a sharp voice question, I bow my head in awe.

A heavy silence drifted on the spot.

Breaking that silence was the laughter of a queen king named Couscous.

"What a sweet, unexchange idea. … but can those who cannot even protect their loved ones who are close to them mercifully defend their country? Hehe, I don't hate you."

Ho, exhaled the breath I had unknowingly stuffed in her words.

"Now the upper echelons of this country are split in two. One is those who make the First Prince a god. The other is those who make the Second Prince a god. On the first prince's side, headed by the Duke of Almeria, are the leading and emerging nobles of the region. On the second prince's side are the nobles of the ancient ginseng headed by Lady Ellia and the Marquis Maelia family. The two factions stared at each other but kept their balance.... Well, which side would I be on?

Question of Queen Wang, but not answered. No, I couldn't answer.

Sometimes I didn't have the answers together, but I couldn't tell you anything far-fetched.

"The correct answer is neutrality leaning towards the First Prince."

Because I knew it, Queen Wang said the answer before I opened my mouth.

"I have hidden, fed and raised the First Prince. I did, knowing there would be such confusion in the future. Why do you think that is?

"… to reduce the growth of aristocracy, is it"

"Go on."

"The country might not have been more confused if the second prince had lined up the first prince and taken the throne. But if we do, it means that even the king, who is the head of this country, will be able to do anything with the power of nobility. If you do, you can even shake the roots of the kingdom. That's why I thought about it."

I spoke word for word, choosing words.

"Right.... Though, I was only neutral, and if the First Prince were a fool, I would have cut him off immediately. But out of the blue, he was capable. So I didn't do anything like that. Thanks to this, I have also been seen by the First Prince.... like some house."

'Some house' is about my own house... even if they don't say it clearly.

"For the Second Prince, the least intrusive is not the Duke of Almeria's house. Even though I made a concealment, royalty...... I'm the one most disturbing to them with a strong voice"

"So Lady Wang is also targeted like her father...?

"Yeah, right. I will soon be stripped of my authority as a royal. Your father and the First Prince were moving to stop it. This letter says it."

"I see..."

"I'll answer after reading the letter. Tell Louis," Go back to your territory and take your time. "

"Become...! Why!?

"The king has about a month to keep. After that child dies, the Marquis Maelia family moves out. Louis won't be completely cured in a month by a boulder, either, will he? Even though he was dying, I can't force him to."

"It's..."

"I had no idea Ellia was gonna get her hands on that girl."

Get your hands on it, and drink it.

"Are you sure?

"Yeah. Even though I fell, I was on my way to recovery. As for the body. Though the heart disease was the same. Suddenly, for a month... there's a lot of other circumstantial evidence."

When she uttered the word circumstantial evidence, Queen Wang bit her lip off for a moment.

If it's not conclusive evidence, I guess I regret that fact that I can't dispute the Marquis Maelia based on it.

"Maybe it's because I love you that hatred got bigger and deeper when you leaned towards negative emotions.... Anyway, I can't make it. Louis is in that state, and the First Prince is letting him go to another country."

"... to which?

"It's a secret.... Now that's probably a good time. I can't say that other countries are safe, but it's better than being in this country when things happen. Besides, it looks like he was trying to blame himself for taking the king on the road."

Ugh, and Queen Wang exhaled as she hid her mouth with a fan.

"But what happens to Queen Wang..."

"Come on...... Either way, I've decided to bet on a new generation… that kid. So there's no rest of my heart."

The brilliance of Queen Wang's eyes, who said so, was powerful.

"Bern, tell Louis what you just said."

"Accepted."
