Continental Hero Senki

"With that said, Crown Prince, no. How old is Crown Prince Sergei, the eldest nephew?

"Sure...... I think he was 17 this year"

"Are you 17 years old? You're young."

"Right. It's not the kind of dialogue we can talk about."

"So was that. We were only 15."

Wouldn't it be a bad idea to forget your age at this age? I guess I should worry about juvenile amnesia.

……

Maya, would you stop staring at me for a second? Because I'm scared. I didn't mean to talk about my age. Nothing, because Mr. Maya doesn't care if he's seven years older than me!

"Maya."

"What is it, Your Highness?"

"Don't bully me too much"

"I'm not bullying you. I was just staring."

Please don't. Your heart stops.

"Well, forget the joke"

No, Mr. Maya's eyes were 80%. You meant five minutes, didn't you?

"I think this inheritance issue will have an impact that cannot be ignored for our country in the future. Whether we observe the problem or intervene, we must prepare ourselves in some way."

"Right... but there's nothing you can do to avoid gathering information before then."

"Well, don't call it information, even though you have to control the flight."

That's sword soldier chief and third place. You understand.

"… the problem is that all the information that His Highness Emilia has been told so far is from the great noblemen whom His Highness the Grand Duke Carol is cordially greeting"

"Ho."

The so-called Grand Duchy nobility? Looks like the Grand Duchy has a pipe with the Eastern Continental Empire, and I wonder if that information will come in. But it's tough not to have your own information route. Things around here are gained by the noblemen using their own pipes. It will be a tough place for Her Royal Highness Princess Emilia, who has less support from the great nobility.

"Well, it's not like information comes down where I mourned. I'll leave this for later, and now I'll give Mr. Yuzef the information I know. On top of that, I'd like to hear from Yuzef and Maya."

"Okay. I'd like to help His Highness, Emilia."

"I, too, will do my best for His Highness Emilia"

Because it's no exaggeration to say that I've been working so hard for that.

"Thank you. So let's continue."

His Highness, Emilia, drank up the tea at hand lavishly, told him about the information in the neighbouring country.

"Well, if your granddaughter Elena's son was a boy, you probably wouldn't have to look at the blood"

"What about Ivan X. 's intentions?

"So far, there's nothing. However, we have heard that Ivan X. was not close to his half-brother, Vassily X. So no wonder I don't want Sergei, the grandson of Vassily V., to take over the throne."

"I see. Which other nobles will arrive then"

It is the back shield of the nobility that matters in the matter of imperial succession. If noble instructions are not obtained, private soldiers may be used to wage rebellion. Even if we don't get that far, the economic and military power of the nobility is also critical to the Empire. As I said in my previous life, every time an election comes, it's like a major local company or capitalist comes gouging in.

"I don't know, but Sergei will probably be supported. It would be difficult for an empire with a strong idea of male inferiority to accept that only male men could ever be emperors, but they would choose female men here."

"But even if it were the words of His Majesty the Emperor..."

"It's muddy. It's like our country."

"... No, Your Highness should be king. Inheritance comes first."

In order of inheritance, it becomes like a continental empire.

"Right. But I might not care about inheritance order or anything like that. Only a man of excellence can take the throne."

"Your Highness!"

"Oh, don't panic. I didn't say I didn't want to be anything. I will do my duty."

I also understand what His Highness is trying to say. It is decided better to inherit the second place of fame than to inherit the first place of the Emperor.

But I don't think His Highness Emilia is the Dark One. I think there's room for fame. Really.

"Oh, you've missed the point. I'm talking about the shield behind the nobility, and there are rumors that concern me."

"Rumors?"

"Yes, in fact, Sergei Romanov's mother is still alive, and the rumor is that her mother is an aristocrat of the Union of Livonia Nobles."

"... what?

Union of Livonia Nobles, it is a nation west of Silesia. It is a military power called the German Empire in the previous life world.

"It's just a rumor. Besides, I don't even know which nobility it is. I think it's quite a position to marry the royal family..."

But if this is true, the roots could be pretty deep. It could also develop into a war of inheritance. Thus, Ivan Xue may be trying to force a female male to take the throne for fear of interference in his internal affairs by the Livonia nobility who became his cousin.... but it's still at the rumor stage. It's not easy to believe. Plus this rumor, it could contain malice by the Grand Duke. We have to consider it carefully.

"... Your Highness Emilia, do you know which Grand Duke supports or has connections?

"No, I don't know that far. I don't even know why my uncle values connections to the Eastern Empire in the first place."

His Royal Highness sighed and sighed, leaving me feeling sober. I don't know if I can do it.

"Well, you'll still have time. Until the child is born...... well, there is a respite of about six months. Besides, you can watch what happens."

"... right. Can't help worrying"

I can't help but worry. There's nothing there, and my arms don't suddenly stretch or increase where I mourn. Let's move on one by one. And Maya, don't stare, it's probably because of me.

"Now, aside from the truth of the rumor, the question is, who the hell is going to assist the 60th Emperor?"

"What do you mean, Yuzef?"

"It's a simple story. Ivan Xue will soon fall apart. If so, it will be a newborn dairy drinker or a 17-year-old who is better than that. Either way, the authority of those who assist the emperor in his affairs should be strengthened."

Is it the emperor's secretary of state or the imperial prime minister who assists in administration, and then around the minister of state? Anyway, I can say that the fate of Silesia depends on who holds that position.

"If you are also a 17-year-old youth, you will surely be able to demonstrate quite a bit of political skill. If so, we may support babies who are prone to wield their own power."

"Right.... With that said, don't you know who that Empress Elena's spouse is too?

"That's it... Actually, Empress Elena is still unmarried"

"... don't you know who your father is?

"Yep. Assuming they are royalty, I'm sure they're not the sons of the men who go away..."

The Romanov Emperor family is apparently feeling like a labyrinth on the verge of flames. This is going to be pretty deep.
