Continental Hero Senki

31 August.

A line of luxurious carriages is created on the streets leading to the mansion of the Duke Krakowski family on the outskirts of Wangdu.

This is all an aristocratic carriage to the feast of the Duke's house, which is to be held today.

Among them are the appearance of Baron Randowski, the Baron Gurschka, of the Internal Affairs Letter, and others responsible for the responsibility of the State, in line. It is the escorts of each nobleman, and the King's Capital Defense Division, who guard it.

And among them, there was a distinguished group.

"Banquets of this magnitude are rare today."

"Right. There will be political grievances, and more importantly, there will have been wars. I couldn't even afford that."

It is the carriage of Princess Emilia, and King Franz.

Naturally, only that carriage was in too tight security. He is a SS, Kingsguard, a private soldier of the royalist nobility, and a squire near the king.

Too harsh, therefore, the carriage is going down the street at a much slower rate than the speed at which people walk. For this reason, the caravan beside him shows a slightly dissatisfied face, but he is drooling without complaining.

Emilia shrugged as she watched the merchants and travellers like that.

"Oh, when you see a sight like that, you think you don't have to."

"Don't say that. Bringing together dignitaries is important to the state. We can meet together, negotiate, argue, or make connections. Emilia will be our country's first queen in the future. Perfect opportunity, you better remember."

"Yes, Father. It's a place to learn."

If you are from the Union of Livonia Nobles, which employs a council system by the House of Lords, you will not be able to hear such conversations. In fact, there is no such thing as "great opportunity" because in his country he is obliged to open the Senate on a regular basis.

But a private feast of nobility will set the direction of the state because there is no "parliament regularly held by the state" in Silesia.

And Emilia will be the first to participate in such a "private banquet of nobility that sets the direction of the state".

In the past Emilia participated only in banquets that meant nothing more than political performances and in battlefields.

In that sense, she must have been very anxious.

"You're a little anxious about me becoming king. I don't know if I can be like your father..."

"No, no. You're wrong to set me up as an example, Emilia. Anyway, I'm in constant disagreement with the cabinet."

Yes, Franz makes me say it in a self-derisive way.

The King has discretion with regard to cabinet personnel. Who to appoint to the letter of profanity and who to dismiss. That is determined by the existence of a king.

But in a kingdom where factional strife persists, it can never be said that it is preferable to exclude certain faction human beings. That would result in fierce criticism and rebellion from hostile factions, which in turn would pose a serious obstacle to the operation of the State.

Franz therefore did not dismiss the cabinet members of factions hostile to him, especially the Chancellor.

Most importantly, the question mark has to be put on if we can successfully persuade the cabinet of ministers whose faction strife continues to prevail to be able to run a flexible state.

That's why it can be a wonder for Emilia.

On the relationship between the King and the Chancellor, and the decisive deterioration of the brothers' friendship.

"How did your father get married to your mother?

Marcelina, Emilia's mother, is of civilian origin.

When she married King Franz, she earned the title of "Grand Duke," but the reputation of being "a woman who draws the blood of a filthy civilian" drew her tail until she left the world with a puerperal fever. Rather, it was said that "divine punishment has been inflicted on a man who cannot speak his identity".

"... because I loved your mother, can't I?

"I don't think so. Isn't it like throwing it into a rough wave of noble society? Is that nothing more than calling for misfortune for each other?

If Marcelina were a nobleman, she would have made a better marriage.

But she was about to be eliminated from a society tied to special customs because she was not a nobleman, but a person of a bitch status.

It is not necessary to explain how hard it is at the earliest.

It shouldn't be that Franz can't read a woman's mind so much that he doesn't know about it either. If so, why did Franz decide to marry?

That's what Emilia thought.

Franz answers Emilia's question with a foreword, "Although it's no different because I loved Marcelina".

"Right. For now, there are two reasons."

"Two?"

"Oh. One is for political reasons. I didn't like marrying a nobleman."

"... is that a political reason?

"Whatever."

The advantage of marrying an aristocrat is the availability of the power of that aristocrat. We can get strong backups of that nobility at home and abroad to guide our own country.

But it was also the sword of the blades.

"If you marry an aristocrat, you can gain the power of that aristocrat. But at the same time, it can happen that the kingdom is shaped by the power of the nobility that has become a relative."

Originally, the rank of aristocrat can be said to be a person who "can exclusively manage the noble territory he occupies" if he says so to a great deal of mischief. In other words, it is something like a relative of a local luxury family, but it can be that the entire nation is swept away by such a human being.

This is something that has actually happened many times on the continent. The position of royalty and nobility is reversed and lowered to become a substantial puppet.

Therefore the kings of time rush to do something about this reversal phenomenon, and fail or fail to fail to fail.

"In fact, my father, or my predecessor Vazwaf, could rub it with it. My father, whom I know, has almost exhausted himself by losing the pressure of his relatives."

"… so, did you consider marrying a civilian?

"Right. Political abnegation, colorless nobility, etc. did not exist to the best of my knowledge, nor did the royal nobility of another country look to me because of what would be an anti-Silesian alliance. I had no other choice."

I see. Indeed, Emilia was convinced.

Nobility is basically a creature whose territory and privilege are important, and it would be good to be from the common people to get rid of that smugness.

"Besides, my brother did his best."

"My uncle?

"Ah. Thanks to his hard work in diplomacy, there was little interference in internal affairs regarding marriage. I was pissed off."

It was too late for him to realize that the problem was not one of being "pissed off" dimensions.

But marrying civilians also had an unexpected effect, Franz says.

That is the calming of anti-Silesian sentiment in public opinion in the Republic of Carlsbert.

In the Republic of Karlsbert, where it was a good idea to empower civilians and to involve them in politics, the news that the royal family had married civilians was favourably accepted.

It was the "Silesia-Karlsbert Inviolability Pact", which was destroyed in a military coup on the verge of being signed, that was used to advance that softening of public opinion.

"In that regard, Emilia is blessed. Carlsbert, we were able to have a friendly relationship with Ostmarc."

"Right. In fact, I am refraining from making matches with the Royal family of Ostmarc.... So, Father, what's the second reason?

"Oh, that's easy"

That said, Franz made him smile slightly. Seeing how it went, Emilia guessed, "Oh, it must be a great private reason," and it was the right thing to do.

"Because I and Marcelina were happy. Even after we got married."

"... really?

"Ah. I also know what she was told by the nobles within the court. But she didn't care. 'I'm happy,' he also answered. After Marcelina was summoned to heaven, I also asked the neighbors and close friends, but the answers were all the same."

How lucky and happy I am.

That's what she always said, Franz says.

"Well, that's the place. Have you convinced me?

After a long story, Franz exhales all the time. He was followed by an indescribable exhilaration after finishing his old story.

But the opposing Emilia was under unspeakable emotions apart from Franz.

"- If Emilia wants, I'll allow Emilia to marry a civilian man"

Franz said that abruptly.

Emilia must have been greatly confused because she suddenly said that to you from herself, for advancing the pageant of the Royal family of Ostmarc.

But Franz said it with all seriousness.

It was a statement as if Emilia wanted to "marry a civilian man".

Emilia, however, did not have such an idea in mind. For that reason, she made him smile and joke like his father had said earlier.

"I'll stop. Because like your father, I'm not sure I can make them happy."

It goes without saying that it was Emilia's heart.

The carriage then arrives shortly at the Duke Krakowski residence.
