Continental Hero Senki

Victor Romanov II, second in the right to inherit the Empire of the Eastern Continent. His belly sister, Marquis Marcelina Panuvnica, married Grand Duke Carol.

Mr. Feene's face when we talked about this looked unusual and understandable. I opened my eyes and the cup of tea I was about to drink is stopping in the air along the way. I'm surprised no matter what you think.

For a few seconds, Mr. Fine, who kept that attitude, gave up drinking tea and quietly put it on the table, and began to think about what this information meant.

"In short, did the prime minister of this country become a relative of the Romanov Emperor's family?"

"That's what I mean"

Well, that's what I said, Countess. I can immediately see what this kind of blood muscle thing means.

The only person who cannot do so is a nobleman, like her, a knight of fame. Yeah, you look so troubled. I've seen this several times. That's my face from the cadet school written exam. By the way, Julia, sitting on Sarah's lap, appears to be rowing a boat. Cute.

"Hey, hey, Yuzef?

"I don't know, Sarah."

"I swear... oh, I don't care anymore"

Sarah clenched her fist for a moment, but she quickly pulled her fist in to see if she remembered when Mr. Fine first came to the office of Governor Krakow. Kind of funny.

"So, what's up, Sarah?"

"Uh, yeah, that. I don't know what that means."

"What?

"Grand Duke Carol, Viktor? what it means to be a relative of"

"Oh, yeah. I'll explain now."

Normally, it's just a Grand Duke scandal. As is often the case in aristocratic societies, it is difficult to obtain the daughter of a royal royal nobleman and have blood ties, but it is also difficult to become a person of an enemy country who has the right to inherit the throne.

"First of all, the political significance of Archduke Karol's marriage to Marquis Panufnik is simple. For the Grand Duke to be a relative of Emperor Romanov's family."

"That's all?"

"Probably. Maybe there's love between the two, but blood muscles matter more than that"

The moment she is born to a noble daughter who does not inherit the title, her daughter is destined to be made a political tool. Or that's like work. Even for Mr. Feene, who is now in front of me, I suppose he will one day. The problem is, it's her father. No. Is the story good now?

"Sarah. Not Grand Duke Carol, more normal...... right, what would you think if I had a relationship with a famous emperor or royal family?

"... Huh? Are you marrying a royal nobleman with your name?

"It's an analogy, analogy story!

"Oh, yeah, you did..."

You look a little desperate! It's not normal for a peasant to marry a royal nobleman!?

"I mean, you know, Yuzef Romanov... you know, it's gonna be Yuzef Silesia, right?

Sarah speaks a little of Yuzef Silesia's name. No, no, you don't have to care deeply about that there. It's an analogy, and His Highness Emilia is the one who will be united with the nobler...... Well, leave that alone.

"What do you think that means?

"Erm......, foils on? Silesia just has a surname, and it's pretty amazing."

"Yes, correct"

"Huh?"

"That's the answer"

When I said that, she was a pocan.

"... that's all?

"Of course, the ultimate purpose is different."

In the case of this marriage of the Grand Duke of Karol, the matter of the Marquis of Panuvnik does not have to be taken into account. The problem is that he was still foiled by becoming a relative of the Romanov Emperor's family.

And until then His Highness Emilia, who gracefully drank tea, takes over my words.

"Become a relative of the royal aristocracy. Even if you are a foreign relative, that alone increases your authority and voice. Because it is better to be an emperor's cousin and a prime minister than a foreign minister."

"So, but that's not in the empire, is it? Silesia doesn't make sense..."

"Sarah is right, there is no substantial significance in Silesia. Instead, you can't complain about being rebutted for 'having a relationship with an emperor of a virtual enemy country'"

"Then why did you do that..."

Sarah was even more confused. Indeed, as it is, Archduke Carroll can only be a country yankee who makes subtle threats such as "Because there are runaways I know".

But adding the conditions we have here would give us an ominous feeling. Both His Highness Emilia and Mr. Feene have such a hunch that they wrinkle between their brows and think deeply about it.

I'll represent those two thoughts.

"It certainly doesn't make sense within Silesia. Then what if Silesia is no longer outside the country for the Empire?

"Does that mean... that if Silesia is destroyed by the Empire?

"Yeah."

"I don't..."

"Can't there be?

"... I don't know"

Sarah said so, biting her lips. Well, we're talking about the demise of the kingdom. It gets dark too.

That's why you can't keep this topic away either. That's synonymous with getting on the Grand Duke's ploy. Now I have to think about it.

"If the Eastern Continental Empire swallows the Kingdom of Silesia, the question is how to govern the former Kingdom of Silesia. One or two aristocrats can send officials from the Imperial Centre if they want the old Silesian aristocrats there to continue to rule. But not all of the kingdom."

The ultimate goal of the Eastern Continental Empire is the reunification of the continent. For example, the annexation of the Kingdom of Silesia is only a crossing point. After that, we have to fight a powerful country that is not comparable to Silesia, who said Livonia, Ostmarc and the Second Reich of Christ.

Then the geopolitical significance of Silesia becomes greater. Regardless of the Second Reich of Christ, the "region" of Silesia as a relay point for the annihilation of Livonia, Ostmarc and Karlsbert, or as a shield for the defence of the Eastern Continental Empire, has an important value.

We cannot leave such an important area to the cluttered old Silesian nobility. And it's also a problem to govern directly from the start. It will cause the Silesians to rebel, and if riots are frequent, it makes no sense.

In the early stages of post-Silesian rule, it is good to give nominal power to powerful, imperial submissive and imperial aristocrats convincing figures to govern the former Silesian territory. I mean, make it a puppet state.

"If we keep Silesia under indirect rule, to some extent, the rebellion of the Silesians can be contained. For the purpose of fame, what gives the Silesian dynasty its name governs the former Silesian territory. If I were to name it, I'd say" Grand Duchy of Silesia. "

"And it will be your uncle, or Grand Duke Carol, who will govern that Grand Duchy of Silesia. Because only the Grand Duke has a name for the Silesian dynasty and a relationship with the Romanov Emperor."

There are two possible meanings for the Grand Duke to become a relative of Emperor Romanov's family.

One, there stands an excuse for each nobleman of the Eastern Continental Empire.

When mere Grand Duke Carroll is to govern Silesia, he may raise his voice, assuming that it is not a good idea to put the royal man of the old enemy country in a key position. But if there is an excuse to be a relative of the Romanov Emperor's family, for one thing, the rebellion will subside.

Because if they are named, the nobles cannot stand out and disagree. There's no reason to disagree.

In aristocratic societies, this kind of "nominal" is an important story. Sometimes it is interesting to ask for reasons more nominal than substantial value.

And the second reason is that Mr. Fine spoke to me.

"A thing called the royalty of a doomed country is usually not executed. Because it threatens to buy the antipathy of nobility and the people. So it's the stones that take you to where you can see them and shut them down. That would prevent things like taking on royalty and encouraging bees, etc. In the case of Silesia, you will take His Majesty Franz and His Highness Emilia to the Imperial capital (Tsar Ligrad) and spend the rest of their lives in the proper castle or palace. With all due respect, this is the beginning of a life where you are deprived of your freedom and forced to be a bird in a cage for decades."

Mr. Feene explained that somewhat coldly.

Speaking of His Highness Emilia in person at the time, he heard it with a sad face.

That's what Maya once said before entering the cage, His Highness Emilia was exactly the bird in the cage. It would be unbearable for His Highness to go back to that state, or even worse than going back.

Her Highness Emilia, stay down. I was worried Sarah would say, "Emilia?" but there is no response.

And a dozen seconds later, I said potpourri in the same position.

"... I've always wondered"

"What?"

"If your uncle is serious, he should be buried long ago about me and my father, why wouldn't he..."

Indeed, His Highness Emilia is right.

The time of the Silesia-Karlsbert war would have been a great opportunity for Grand Duke Carroll to seize it. If he was serious about attempting to seize it, he could have taken the throne by assassinating His Majesty Franz and, with the endorsement of the Grand Duchy nobility, which occupies a large part of the nobility, returning the throne inheritance of His Highness Emilia, who is still young.

Even without such a roundabout plot in Kobari or Krakow, there should have been as many opportunities.

"You didn't have to. From the beginning. For my uncle, the throne is not necessary or anything, and neither about me, nor my efforts..."

It was not the purpose of Grand Duke Carroll to take the throne. Born after being swallowed up by the Empire of the Eastern Continent, it is aimed at the status of Grand Duke of the Grand Duchy of Silesia.

And maybe I wasn't interested in His Highness Emilia's life or death. I was there and I'm going to interfere with something, so I just ran some assassination plots in the sense of a warning. I don't care if I succeed or if I fail. Maybe it was recognition to that extent.

It's like my efforts are being treated like a toy. If I think of it that way, I do feel like I can't do it either.

His Highness Emilia was about to cry. But not yet.

"Emilia, you're still early to cry."

"... Mr. Yuzef?

"Not yet, this is our discretionary prediction. You don't even know how to fall in the future, Grand Duke Carol."

This expectation in itself is not of any physical evidence. mere speculation, possibly Grand Duke Carroll's Grand Poca, there is, maybe?

"Even if the prediction was always in the middle, it wouldn't be His Highness Emilia watching it in silence, would it?

His Royal Highness Emilia is quite a miserable man. Enough to get back into the cadet school with the opposition and persuasion of His Majesty the King.

It's ridiculous that someone like that would give up here.

"Yes, Emilia! Yuzef would laugh at you if you were beso here!

"Uh, wait, Sarah. It's like I'm dead."

"You're dead! My ability as a soldier!

Hi. but I can't argue with you. Regret.

And for some reason, Mr. Fine has also joined this cont.

"Right. I do think Major Yusef should work out some more. That body is not a major. Start over with Private."

"No, no, no. Because I graduated from cadet school, even if it looks like this! I'm working out better, let's take it off!?

Don't lick the muscle strength of former peasants! You can have it if you're like a quack or something!

"It's disgusting. And then she wakes up, so be quiet. It's annoying."

"Oh, yes, I'm sorry. I'll weigh myself in."

Yeah, I'll spare you Julia's sleeping face already... but Julia hasn't missed me yet. Sad.

At some point His Highness Emilia was laughing when she had a cont of things like that.

"Both Yuzef and Sarah have been the same for a long time."

"So is Emilia!

"Oh, really?

"Yes! For example…"

Thus, for a while, the conversation proceeded in a different direction from the fate of the Kingdom of Silesia. Sarah may have forgotten about Archduke Carol. His Royal Highness seems to enjoy the conversation with Mr. Feene, and it's kind of like a sorority.

But, well, I knew His Highness Emilia would look good with a smile. I can't help but feel disillusioned if I have a depressed look on my face the whole time.

So can we stay like this for a while?
