Anne - Annemarie named herself the Seventh Empress of the Empire and then sat down again. The three of them who were out front to protect me sit down again in the same way. You don't look more surprised than I thought, but maybe you're too surprised to feel it.

However, the order of succession to the throne would be considerably lower when she became the seventh Crown Princess. The Empress alone has six people up there. Adding a prince would increase it even more. I can't believe the Empress is the only one.

The trouble is that no matter how low the order of succession to the throne may be, it must be the direct line of the Emperor. It's very likely that if you treat it weird, it will be some kind of problem. This one is just a blacksmith. If you are disrespectful, you are not the one to do it, but the one to do it.

On the other hand, it can also be said that as an empire we are treated fairly highly. I sent a direct line on purpose in situations where I could send someone from the side, even if I needed an identity. I mean,

"It would be a hostage......"

I groaned with a sigh. It is not a bad hand to dispatch as a hostage if you become a person whose immediate line, even though they are no longer in so much trouble.

It also seems strange at first sight to send hostages from the other side, but it is a story that was also in the previous world, during the Japanese Warring States. In that case, it is usually a testament to the alliance and their subordination. I guess it's meant to be the former in this case.

Anne listens to me, she's nicking. He seems to be lying around and calmly understands his position. You're the most annoying type.

Except all this if what Anne is saying is true. I looked at Thermia for a moment, but she shook her head small and vertical. It means she couldn't sense the lie. I don't know if they would have lied to me without being upset at all.

Again, I sighed deeper this time than I just did.

"Well, I understand that you and the Empire are unwilling to harm us."

"Thank you"

Anne bows down with Pecori.

"Oh, let me just confirm one thing."

"What is it?

"We” includes Helen, of course, right?

Anne's sauce eyes narrowed much. It doesn't look like he's laughing, but even if he's laughing, it's that of the beast who found his prey.

Helen said, staring at my face. For a little while, I was pounding my mouth, but words never came out of it.

Silence came to the venue. Magic sends wind to the fire floor and furnace, flames rise, and the sound of coal blowing up echoes the blacksmith. I felt like I heard someone swallow a goku and a spit.

"... Yes, of course. If you harm her, you will have great hostility to the Empire, won't you? I am deciding that must be avoided. It doesn't seem to be aggressively speaking on the kingdom's side, and we shouldn't bother to imitate it by turning it to our enemies"

Me and Helen sighed simultaneously at Anne's words since it was slightly. Now you're missing Helen's concern material. I don't even have to wear a rash every time I go out of town.

"Well, let's just leave the troublesome story here, and I'll build your weapon, okay?"

Anne looks facetious. In fact, I guess I'm done talking about having to do it, so I can just kick it back, but it's raining now, and for once, the customers are customers. Build something to make and have them go home.

"No, if possible His Majesty's..."

"Um, it's our rule that the person who gets the weapon made comes here alone, right? I mean, in this case, His Majesty the Emperor will not come out on his own."

I said head to head. I don't want to make many special provisions for rules that say this. The Mithril Rapier requested by Camilo was special, but that had the advantage of letting me handle new materials, and it was Camilo's favor like no other, so I don't know.

"Okay."

Anne stood up softly. You're leaving because you've done your errands? I thought, when I got up, too,

"Now, my sword, please. A two-handed sword."

and Anne bowed her head.
