Common Sense of a Duke’s Daughter

"Speaking of which, Prince Alfred, who was wrapped in a secret veil, has finally appeared."

"Right. I was wondering if the princes downstairs would be a little rougher... what a crude result. He said that he was putting some escort and surveillance on the second princes because he wanted to die soon..."

"Perhaps the First Prince is a good man."

"When it's all over, is it good to see you again?"

In the cup I put on the side table, Grandpa pours coffee. From there, the fragrant scent spread around.

"But I can't solve it. Grandpa remembers saying he didn't know which way to fall when he left the Duke of Almeria the other day..."

"If the Kingdom of Tasmeria is defeated by the Twiles, even some of them will win. The Duke family will not be able to carry the two countries against them. Though, okay, Grandpa. I can win or lose this fight, honestly. It's just that they're in the way to get what I want. And like them, the ones who couldn't keep it in the future of this country, I tried to get them to go."

It makes it fun to stick around, and it makes me laugh.

"The longer they're not in this country, the better things will be. For me to keep the country in my hands."

"But if we lose, won't we be financially damaged?

"No, it would be better if 'those who perpetrated the act of aggression' were held accountable for it. The greedy ones seem to be hoarding a lot."

"Is it Master Left?"

"But they alone will easily lose. It settles too quickly, and even if the survivors come back early, it happens. That's why they let me do a little small work."

"Well... are you Kaadil-sama's petty worker? That's again..."

My grandfather had already had a bitter laugh before I heard jeans.

I wouldn't even call it offensive, but I feel uncomfortable that Grandpa's reaction is silent and blamed.

"What, Grandpa?"

"No, sir. I'm sorry for Iris' hard work in the future."

"... say what. My future beloved wife will not be soft enough to crush with such things"

For a moment Grandpa was flattered by my words.

From what I can tell, the grandfather's reaction is surprising.

"Do they think you're sweet?

"Otherwise, you can't propose. Oh, my God, Grandpa. No way, are you kidding me?

"No.... I thought I'd look at something that was just political. It wouldn't be normal to push a beloved woman into a cramped place."

"As I said earlier, she's not soft enough to be crushed by this extent. Politically...... Hmm, there's definitely that side to it. But if that were all, there would be more ahead to tie. I won't go out of my way to propose to the duchess of the land that separated the sea."

"That is certainly true, though. As you cross, Master Kaadil. Where the hell were you attracted to the Duke of Almeria?

The truth is, I only met her once.

It was only then that I went on a confidential inspection to the Duke of Almeria's territory.

And then a few times, about what I saw when I went to the Kingdom of Tasmeria in dispute with the country's inspection team?

"When the deal with the Duke of Almeria became active, he made me look into the land. That's how I found out she existed. What a joke to begin with... I thought it was a lot of exaggerated content... but I went to the actual land and found out it was true. Really, isn't it difficult? Wise, merciful... a woman who can stand next to a king. Plus, it's stunning. Isn't it natural that you should want it?"

"Ha..."

It was an ambiguous reaction, whether you were convinced or not.

"... Speaking of which, Grandpa. In the territory of the Duke of Almeria, we produce our own silk."

Unusual for Grandpa to change his expression to what he continued to say.

"What!?

That means what I told you was shocking to Grandpa.

"The secret is how to make an array. How the hell..."

"I don't know. I don't know the truth. Did she discover it herself, or did she manage to get the information, or did a competent subordinate discover it... I don't know. But get the information, let your men discover... that those who are so capable are under her? Doesn't that mean that those who are so competent are human enough to admit it?

"That's true. I have to change my perception."

Happy with what Grandpa said, I tipped the cup again.

"We met only a few moments ago. But that's enough. I could have known that the path she had taken was never a lie or an exaggeration."

"... I see. But would that be better?

"Grandpa, did you forget? This case is already moving. At the beginning of the Twile Nation's proposal, my father never stopped trying to disagree. I can't do anything about it already, and I don't have that time. Besides, as I said earlier... she wouldn't be crushed if she kept going down a path that wasn't flat. It would be a shame not to be able to see her eyes cloudy with her strong will."

At the end of my words, for some reason my grandfather smiled softly as if he hadn't heard anything right away, although for a moment he had caught his face.

"Then you must do your best to the Kingdom of Tasmeria. Even if the Duke of Almeria struggles, if the Kingdom of Tasmeria itself is defeated, it will be difficult for the nobility of the defeated country to make it the righteous queen, as Lord Kaadil said on the ship."

"Right..."

"Do, Master Kaaadil. What is the flirting that Master Kaadil did?

"Hmm? Simply reused"

"... reuse?

"Look, there used to be a woman fox in that Twill country who put a little bite on the territory of the Duke of Almeria, right? At that time, I was allowed to reuse what was left of it because I didn't have any body. I'm gonna smash my head and get a little confused so the cursed ones can fight safely."

I laughed as I said I enjoyed myself.
