Continental Hero Senki
A day to tear for the princess
"- Please let me go!
The feast at the Duke of Krakowski's house ended with a sudden incident.
A person named Prince Valter of the Ostmarc Empire announced his engagement to Princess Emilia, while announcing that he and Princess Emilia had chosen to give it to the Grand Duchy.
Whether this was a plot or not, there were many who suspected that the voice of him would not leak to the outside world. Because Grand Duke Carroll, who appeared at the banquet hall, led a regiment of one infantry unit belonging to the Wangdu Defense Division to besiege the mansion.
In this gathering, where the Kings and Princesses were gathered, the people at the core of the Kings were held by the Grand Duchy. And with some support from the military.
"Oh, no, you don't have that attitude toward a man who's going to be my future husband, do you? Well, I think that's nice, too."
Princess Emilia was taken to a room with the Royal Chancellery in the form of a half abduction by Prince Valter. It was a room like an aristocratic guest room, with luxurious dishes on a luxurious bedside. Emilia is in that room with Grand Duke Karol, Chancellor, and Duke Alfreto Krakowski, an old friend of the Grand Duke, and Prince Valter.
Emilia's head is in a vortex of confusion, confusion, against Valter, the expressionless Grand Duke of Karol and the Duke of Krakowski, who smile humbly while showing calm.
Why, why not.
Why did the Duke of Krakowski, said to be the leader of the Kings, betray him?
"Why, why not! Answer me, Duke!
The anger struck Emilia. In tears, I screamed.
"... it's a simple story, Your Highness. I just want to protect my people. That's why I followed His Royal Highness Carol."
"Why...?
"You... no, you did too much."
As he leaned down, the Duke of Krakowski replied.
The beginning of the matter was August 637 of the Continental Calendar… in other words, it happened just a year ago.
What was going on at this time? That Emilia knew well. For, behold, I was also a party.
That is the month in which the Marinovska case, a wrongful case against Major Sarah Marinovska, took place.
This proved to be a wrongful crime by means of Yuzef's plot and the blockade of the territorial capital under Emilia's command, and in the Wang capital he succeeded in taking in Baron Gurshka, the financial script.
But on the other hand, there was something disturbing about this case.
That was the Duke of Krakowski.
"At that time, His Highness not only made a political outline, but also put the lives of numerous inhabitants at risk. It is true that the cooperation of the Ostomark Empire and the existence of prior roots and collaborators are the only hands that I could see as' putting tens of thousands of citizens at risk for just one officer '"
"It's..."
Surely that is not what both Yuzef and Emilia felt.
That's why Yuzef said, "I take responsibility" and Emilia also thought, "You can't just take responsibility for Mr. Yuzef".
But the thought strangled Emilia.
The Duke of Krakowski, anxious about this, had more opportunity to meet his old friend, the Grand Duke of Karol, and was told this at one point.
"Is it the Kings that Alfreto swears allegiance to? Or are you a resident?
This is the word the Duke has decided to betray.
"I defend my people. For that reason, let's spoil it and accept the disdain of 'traitor'"
"... ugh."
Emilia can't say anything.
I have fought for myself, for the people. I thought I would succeed to the throne for that.
But when has the means and purpose been reversed... Emilia couldn't help but think so.
Emilia, who thinks again of her incompetence, her incompetence, has no more anger.
It's just sad.
Whether you can't read that Emilia emotion, or you know it and it's deliberate, Prince Valter opens his mouth with a slight laugh.
"I see. I thought it was for self-preservation, but I'm surprised you had such a beautiful story, Duke."
"... ugh!
Emilia looks at her fiancée, no, her ex-fiancée.
I have the suspicion that this is really the royal family of the Ostmarc Empire.
"You have scary eyes. I'm just doing what's in my national interest, my wife."
"The mystery that tells you it's a 'wife'... First, Ostmarc's national interest won't be a war of division! Why, you do this!?
"Why, why, why not. That's all. I'd have trouble getting a little more upbringing if I were to be my wife...... oh, but is it fun watching idiots? Especially a pure girl who only thinks she's right this way..."
That said, the prince touching Emilia's jaw. That's a common practice before lovers kiss each other, and Prince Valter aimed at it...
"Don't touch me!
That's what Emilia shouted and thrust the prince.
In fact, because of the physical difference, it is Emilia who left, but that is not important. If you do that to such a "madman," the next action that that "madman" will take will be determined by itself.
"... heh. I thought you had the right to escape me!!
The prince shouted and tried to wield it with Emilia's face with the wand he had. In a small room, avoiding it won't come true.
But...
"- Prince."
Grand Duke Carol lowered his voice and stopped it.
"... What is it, Grand Duke Carol? I'm taking it in right now."
"I know that, but I also have a mind that I can't keep quiet about the sight of a handful of relatives being subjected to violence."
"Hmm? More family love now? Well, it's certainly savage to hurt a beautiful doll's face like this." This time, let's not. "
Valter highlights special words.
If we are indeed a couple, such things will happen again and again from now on, and more should happen. If they react the same way every time, they'll have trouble with Valter.
"Forgive the gentle, gentle Grand Duke Carol, my wife with the head in the flower garden a hint"
Approach Emilia, who is still so stunned that she is about to collapse, and keep her mouth close to her ear with great care not to touch her. And with a slight breath, he delivered the "hint" to Emilia's tympanic membrane with a voice smaller than the feather.
High Police Department of the Imperial Ministry of the Interior, and.
Moments later, Emilia collapsed.
I understood the prince's tips.
"- Well, and. As far as I'm concerned, I'd like to make sure my wife and I love each other from now on..."
Walter tells as he sees Emilia on the spot. But by contrast, the Duke of Krakowski shook his head beside him.
"Before that, His Highness Valter should return to his native country. The plan is still on the way… we can't afford to make sure we love each other"
I don't know if that was sympathy for Emilia or the last.
However, it was true that the plan was still on the way.
Though we have captured many of the royalist nobles, there are still many adversaries in the king's capital, in the kingdom. And I'm in the Empire, too. That elimination comes first.
"Right. Well, me and Princess Emilia are connected by a red 'chain' of destiny. And... let's keep the fun till later..."
With that said, Prince Valter bid farewell to the Grand Duke and the Duke, leaving the Chancellery with his escort who was waiting outside the room.
The remaining Grand Dukes and Dukes also move to make sure Prince Valter leaves the Chancellery.
"Grand Duke. I'll be back in the realm once and see how my family is doing, okay?
"Oh, I don't mind. Say hello to my daughter."
"I'm in awe. Bye."
That's what I said, head down, the Duke leaving the room. Instead, a corporal in military uniform came into the room.
"My Lord Chancellor. The 1st Infantry Regiment of the Wangdu Defense Division took control of key bases throughout Wangdu and detained key figures, including cabinet members. The 2nd Infantry Regiment controls the Sage Palace. Also, the 1st Cavalry Regiment of the Kingsguard Division was held by the same 2nd Cavalry Regiment. However, while there was a small battle, there were a few casualties…"
"Hmm... that's no choice. How about the 3rd Cavalry Regiment?
"Troop authority has been stripped, so we are detaining everyone after disarming them. Military personnel and nobles who did not endorse this plan have also been detained by the National Police and the Wang Metropolitan Defence Division. At present, nobles and their descendants, including His Majesty the King, are placed under house arrest in aristocratic compartments. Otherwise, he's being transferred to a prison outside Wangdu."
"Very good. Then, at 1700 hours today, an indefinite martial law will be laid on all the kingdoms under the authority of the Chancellor. Also issue a restraining order for night trips to Wangdu. Keep your guard down."
"Copy that. Now, if you'll excuse me,"
Regardless of Emilia, Grand Duke Carroll began to do what needed to be done. It behaves as if it were not of earliest interest to Emilia, who was the biggest political enemy.
He stayed put, walked out of the room without a glance at Emilia, and closed the key. On the other side of the door stands two people from the Wang Metropolitan Defense Division. Although there was no one in the room, the windows had undergone renovation of the kill.
Full incarceration.
Emilia understood what was happening to her physically and politically.
"...............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Behind her brain, her memories float like a running lantern.
What was fun, what was happy, what was sad, and... what just happened. All memories are reflected on the back of the lid.
All that was in Emilia today was sadness, and a mere tear and regret.
