Continental Hero Senki

Emilia arrived in the king's capital at 13.30 on 22 August.

It can be said that many citizens who heard the news of the Princess returning to the King's Capital a long time ago had a smooth journey, except for the event that the soldiers would approach her carriage in an attempt to see the face of Princess Emilia at first sight.

"... loved by the citizens. If you think about it, you can't get in the way, but you're a little tired."

She squeaks so in the carriage.

Usually, there are people in the company who empathize or admire the whine, but in this case there is no one in her carriage except Emilia.

"... the absence of Maya is also an out-of-the-box fatigue"

Now she was aware of the gratitude of a being named Maya.

The carriage heads to the aristocratic quarters while surrounded by citizens in the Wang capital.

Just that, the citizens gathered will no longer accompany the carriage, but they will have to endure the spiritual torture of passing through the compartment inhabited by the nobles, who have now become only political enemies. Needless to say how hard it is for Emilia to go through here without the support of Maya, Sarah, or the friends who said Yuzef.

But there can't be nobles trying to do things like that, and it all ends in Emilia's worries.

At 14: 00 she arrives at the "Palace of Wise Men (Philozov Palettes)".

While greeting the royal palace's closest samurai and deacon, whom she has not seen in a long time, Emilia heads in a straight line under her father, or now king Franz Silesia.

Along the way, she encountered unexpected figures within the court.

"Oh, this is His Highness Emilia. I'm in a good mood......!

"You look well and above all, Duke Krakowski"

It was the figure of Maya Krakowska's father, Emilia's friend, the current lord of the Duke of Krakowski family.

"We have heard more about this visit from His Majesty the King. Her Royal Highness, a young princess until recently, is finally married… I am a little moved by this."

"Alas, I still don't think 'I've decided to marry'. If the other person is helpless, as far as I'm concerned, I'd like to be united with another lord."

Emilia looked like a joke, keeping her mouth down and making her laugh. Emilia also knew very well that this was a terribly formal grin.

"This is... No, but we have heard that the opponent, His Highness Valter Augustine Damien von Romanov-Hermesberger, is a courageous and humane man, right?

At this time the Duke seemed a little horrified to have been able to speak fluently without biting the long-standing name of the man who was to be engaged to Emilia.

Emilia, on the other hand, will be dominated by the slight and serious concern of hearing the name and saying, "Can you remember it, and can you say it without biting it if you can remember it," but that is another story.

"His Highness Valter was indeed the nephew of the current emperor Ferdinand... wasn't he?

"Yes. You're the son of His Majesty's brother Ferdinand. The right to inherit the throne is seventh place. You know, he did turn 21 this year."

I see, and Emilia is heartily convinced.

As the nephew of the current emperor, the seventh place of inheritance is really in the position of reserve. Few desires for imperial succession, and therefore impeccable for political marriage. And if the Duke's words are true, it is certain that Prince Valter's personality is a good fringe for the better.

In particular, whether it is Emilia's preference is another matter.

"I see. I get it. I'm not sure they'll like me, but I'd like to have a good conversation."

Emilia said so and told the Duke indirectly that "I am positive about the fringe and intend to emphasize my relationship with the Ostmarc Empire".

The Duke smiles and shakes his neck vertically many times as if satisfied with the answer, but tanned his face as if he remembered.

"No, but Your Highness. I may have more to say later than His Majesty… His Highness the Valter arrived a little late and the Embassy of Ostmarc contacted me"

"Oh, really?

"Yes, apparently, the impact of this battle."

It is about this battle, or the Seventh War.

Even when it comes to seventh-place inheritance, there seems to be some hesitation in the wartime friendship. Still, the political importance of this engagement is so high that I guess I'll make the decision eventually, even if it's somewhat delayed.

"How late, do you mean?

"It would have been 3 days later if I had planned it, but I think I'm going to be 10 days late."

"About two weeks later, do you mean?"

Two weeks.

If that's all, how much work in Krakow has been cleaned up. It is Emilia who cannot help but think so. But now returning to Krakow is also a hassle, so he will be held in the Wang capital for two weeks for an engagement that he does not really care about.

"… Your Highness, it is a little disrespectful to say this on this occasion, but would you like to use this time to attend a banquet open by our Duke's family?

"Banquet, is it?

"Yes, it was originally planned to be a small banquet in a few nobles, but until His Royal Highness the Valter arrives, we shall be in your hands, shall we?

"Yeah, well."

It is certain that Emilia is no more free than she is also a soldier and princess. But not if I say I'm busy enough to have a full cup at work for two weeks. If it is Krakow, there are few plans to bury him at work in the capital.

"May I then invite you to a banquet to be held on August 31 at the separate residence of our Duke's house?

"Happy. Father… No, I would like to consult with Your Majesty and attend"

The Duke of Krakowski family is a princess-headed house. Participation in the banquet held by its Duke family is more of a natural choice due to domestic political considerations.

But Emilia still didn't know that it was the beginning of the end.
