Continental Hero Senki

Elena Romanova.

Born March 616, Continental Calendar.

Granddaughter of the 59th Emperor of the Eastern Continent Empire, Ivan Romanov VII, mother of Victor Romanov II, second in the right to inherit the throne.

His partner is Ludovic Panuvnik, Marquis of Silesia.

It is no exaggeration to say that a woman is in the middle of a complex kinship of the Emperor of the Eastern Continent.

The woman is now in a separate residence of the Duke of Krakowski near Krakow, the largest city in the southern part of the Kingdom of Silesia.

"I'll see you first, Your Highness. I am Lieutenant Colonel Henrik Mihau Rosenstock of the National Police of the Chancellery of the Kingdom of Silesia."

"I'm Elena. Elena Romanova, Empress of the Continental Empire."

And, Empress Elena called the Eastern Continental Empire an almost dead name, the "Continental Empire".

Elena Romanova is 22 years old. He has wolf-like silver hair, characteristic of the Romanov Emperor's family. His face is also a common aesthetic for royal nobility, but he looks strangely unconfidential somewhere.

Currently, one of the reception rooms at the Duke Krakowski residence is in a rushed interview room, where Mr. Henrik and someone from the Ministry of the Interior are interrogating Elena Romanova. Me and Her Highness Emilia just shut up in the corner of the room and listen to how it goes.

Behind Empress Elena again was their side, with one of the closest samurai (maids) holding the baby. That's probably one of the heirs to the throne.

I'm not good at questioning myself or anything, and the other guy is noble enough to say he lost a political battle. Henrik, the Duke's man and Lieutenant Colonel of Police, is here, and the people of the Ministry of the Interior are also princess and secure with the title.

And even if I say interrogation, they're the other person, so immigration screening might be more appropriate than interrogation.

"Far away, I know you're tired. But because of the circumstances, we wanted you to help us, so we set up a place like this."

"... I don't mind"

Empress Elena replied with a voice that seemed scratchy.

I don't know, it's surprising. I thought I was going to be more arrogant, but he's mentally very exhausted with this look.

It is mainly Mr Henrik who asks questions, from administrative confirmations to questions that go a little further. And Empress Elena's answers are probably all true, but I still have no hegemony.

At the end of about five or six questions, Empress Elena suddenly took a deep sigh. In a tone that doesn't matter from the bottom of my heart,

"... aren't you sure you don't want to go that far anymore?

said.

Mr Henrik asked back, but it would be obvious where this was intended.

Just say what you guys want to hear, that's more efficient. That is what she said in polite words.

"You set up a place like this to explore the possibility of me being an imperial spy, right?

Mr. Henrik answered nothing to the words of Empress Elena. In fact, it's true, so you can't deny it, and you know it when you think about it. I don't need to bother to say that. The crown princess's neighbors have amazing eyes.

"If that's what you mean, it's easy to talk about. I've been running away from Sergei. When he says things like that, even if the heavens and the earth are turned upside down, there's no way."

"... is that right?"

Well, if it's just my mouth, I can say anything. He said to the spy, "Are you a spy?" Don't let anyone ask you stupid honest answers. But when I asked him there, he decided that nothing would progress, and someone from the Ministry of the Interior proceeded.

"Then why is His Highness in our country if what His Highness says was true? We could have come to Silesia from the Imperial capital (Tsar Ligrad), so it would have been possible even in the more powerful Christ and Ostmarc."

It was not the Empress Elena who answered this question, but the deacon man standing behind her. Even when I say deacon, the royal deacon, he may also be a nobleman in a good place.

"Your Highness made your country a place of asylum for a number of reasons. The first is that the unarmed buffer zone established between our empire and your country was convenient when you exiled, and the second is that you were wary of a country called Christ and Ostmarc."

"... at the discretion of the Deacon?

"To be precise, we have decided after consultation with His Highness Elena."

Did I just say, "I thought about it and let Empress Elena make a decision?"

Well, I have no complaints about the first unarmed buffer zone. Maybe if I were in the same position, I wouldn't have a hand in not using this, and people other than Empress Elena are actually in exile through this buffer zone.

The problem is another, about the vigilance of Christ and Ostmarc. Was it because the conflict had just ended that I alerted Christ? No, that's the same thing as Silesia. You're alerting Ostmarc because you virtually left the anti-Silesian alliance?

Yeah, I don't know. I just have to poke around here.

A third reason, perhaps, also concerns the fact that Panufnik, the Marquis of Silesia, is the father of Viktor II. It means he relied on an acquaintance to exile.

In the meantime, we need to explore vigilance against Christ and Ostmarc. Does Mr. Henrik know that, too, and he seems to have decided to focus on it there?

"Why are you wary of Christ or Ostmarc?

"As for Christ, the conflict has just ended. It is self-evident that asylum in such a country is not welcome. We heard that Ostmarc was showing an attitude of bonding with the empire of our continent."

Is Ostmarc and Sergei bonding, or what? I also find it absurd to say that I had heard it from His Highness Emilia beforehand. Ostmarc is wary of Sergei, and it's odd that he can't perceive that while he's in the empire.

... No, or maybe it's true.

Indeed, we in the Kingdom of Silesia are in a relationship with Ostmarc and the honeymoon. But that's due to the "Silesian Alliance Theory" that I made mainstream during my second assistant years, which is now becoming mainstream within the Ostomark Empire. It is the Emperor Ferdinand and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who support it.

However, it is also possible that supporters of the "hitchhiking theory of participation", who have become non-mainstream, are bonding with Sergei. It is not surprising that the Ostmarc Ministry of Resources and the Ministry of the Interior intend to consign Sergei to a diminished stomach of authority. I can't think of any particular benefit from that either......

Yeah, maybe it's the reason around here. It's a volatile guess with assumptions on top of assumptions. Anyway, to find that possibility, or crush it, it might be quicker for me to ask the question myself.

"... Her Royal Highness Princess Elena, do you mind coming from me, too?

I asked the Empress, but the key Empress Elena was silent. It was still the butler who answered me instead.

"What about your honor?

"I am Major Yuzef Waresa of the Knight (Cavallers) Royal Army. We're acting together as Lieutenant Colonel Henrik's assistant."

The status of special participation in the civil administration of the Duke of Krakowski was kept hidden. Once.

Even so, I feel like I have publicly named the title "Knight (Cavalier)" for the first time. A knight (Cavalier) is also a nobleman, so even if he is a royal nobleman, he doesn't have to say "like a civilian".

Thank you, Emilia, for giving me something convenient. And now I appreciate it even more.

Forget it.

"I'd like to hear why Her Royal Highness Princess Elena, or Deacon, thought Ostmarc and Continental Imperial Chancellor Sergei Romanov were joining forces."
