The largest continent identified today is made up of five nations: kingdom, empire, principality, holy kingdom and demon kingdom, one of which was the Empire.
Purr! and a single-handed sword with a gorgeous decoration that cuts sharply and wind draw a streamlined trajectory.
In a garden with a luxurious hall, performing a sword dance like a stream dance is one young lady ponytailing her red hair enough to reach her back.
Lumigliana, daughter of the Marquis of Legnard, who has territory close to the easternmost part of the empire, is a young man of seventeen years of age and a strong man who serves as a rare knight under the Crown Princess.
The red twilight eyes, which seem to be strong enough to see, create an atmosphere that seems to keep the man away, but they are in harmony with the appearance (Kao) that is still neat while leaving him young.
"Ma'am, I brought you a drink."
"Mm-hmm. Thanks."
The cup that one samurai brought on the tray is filled with cold water and Lumigliana pours into her stomach at once.
Feeling comfortable with the feeling of hydrating and at the same time the body heated by training getting cold, he delivered his sword to the sheath, also a demonic weapon that was made a family heirloom and engineered for magical effects, and wiped the sweat that transmitted his neck muscles with a towel.
"What is His Highness doing now?
"We are studying in the materials room. When I brought your drink earlier, I had a few dozen or so copies on my desk, so I was wondering if it would take me a while to finish reading it."
"Yes. Okay."
The Empire is in the vortex now. What the Crown Prince, the son of his predecessor seven years ago, said since he succeeded to the throne at the age of twenty-three at the time, tax exploitation without regard for the people, is showing a gradual spread.
The reason for all this was supposedly the daughter of the Duke of Algrey's family, the queen of the current emperor, where nightclubs were held every night to fulfill her desires, making her a tyrant who paid off the treasury, which was a blood tax, for the rare jewels and dresses she said were outside the country.
Lumigliana's master and best friend of his age, the Emperor's sister, is gathering his allies secretly and steadily based in Legnard territory, prepared neither to resign from rebellion against his real brother for the sake of the future of an empire that is getting thinner.
The princess, determined to save the people caught up in the doomsday country, will not mind the loss of the Imperial Family.
To protect such a noble lord, I will not leave my side until the last moment to stand up and protect myself. Exactly what can be considered the knight's true spirit, the courtier swordsman will listen to the public tale of the samurai, the arrowhead who tried to encourage training as long as time permits.
"Speaking of which, lady, did you hear? Talk about adventurers active in the kingdom"
"Adventurer?
Lumigliana warped her shapely eyebrows.
The anecdote of a revolutionary who once tormented the Imperial aristocracy, The Grey Haired Ghost (Haku), is famous for the story that the Golden Witch, the founder of the Adventurer Guild, helped.
She herself is rare to the Imperial nobility and has no idea what she thinks about The Gray Haired Ghost. Rather, it sees it favourably as an end to an era in which nobility was tormenting the people with repression.
But I can't really like The Golden Witch. Although we have never met in person, it is because the story is famous that with tremendous wealth and the most powerful magic, we are still causing chaos and immersed in joy.
And again, the presence of an adventurer created by such a witch. There are adventurer guilds on the border outside the country, like the empire doesn't have noble power, but it is only an armed and unreliable gathering that values rewards such as adventurers if you look at them from Lumigliana.
An evil warrior not even at the feet of a knight with a format and a straight path and an ambulance mind. Admittedly, there is demand because she takes the lead in dealing with a few monsters, but her nasty attitude when she saw her face before made her rejection really precede her.
"There is an adventurer who alone crusaded one of the dragon kings who attacked the kingdom from three directions."
"What the hell!?
Speaking of dragon kings, the most powerful class dragon in the world with only eight heads. We have heard stories of three of them attacking the kingdom, two repelled by the adventurer guild and one crusaded.
Dragon slayer (dragon slayer) is a kung fu praised by adventurers and knights alike. Lumigliana could not hide her dismay at the fact that only one adventurer had crusaded against the Dragon King.
"Sure... the white swordsman knocked down the Dragon King?"
"Princess Kenki"?
I come here and there is a huge difference in the perception of letters.
Lumigliana is nicknamed "The Guardian's Sword Princess" in the sense that she won the traditional martial arts tournament held annually in the Imperial capital and defends her master, the princess.
I don't know about the noble lady being called a princess, but for her, the alias "sword princess" is a pride in itself.
The feeling that just an adventurer named it was very uninteresting came to a boil before I thought it was active in the same woman.
"But if there are so many swordsmen, it doesn't seem like they can pass it on to the Empire."
"It's a matter of no choice. Because she's an adventurer."
Adventurers' reputations are passed on to adventurers, some of which spill over into the private sector. Inevitably, in an empire where the number of adventurers is extremely low, information about adventurers is difficult to convey.
Aside from the story if there is an easy title for the folk who said this is S-rank as well, don't you think the swordsman in the matter stays in B-rank without a promotion?
"It seems to have a very beautiful appearance already, with two colored eyes, pale and red."
Along with "The Grey Haired Ghost" to the point of being an odd eye. While realizing that she had been put on board by a long-time samurai, Lumigliana became interested in the woman swordsman.
If the empire, the kingdom, and the strongest swordsman in each country combine their swords, they want to compete even when they look away from being adventurers.
"Hey... there's a really beautiful woman in the kingdom with gray hair and odd eyes...?
"Your Majesty?"
Switching to a trembling voice, what stood there was Reishi's master, who shook his blonde hair brilliantly in the sun and opened his empty eyes.
"Maybe the person's name is -"
In the center of the Emperor's Imperial capital, a majestically built outhouse apart from the giant Imperial Palace, a lady with pink blonde hair who was plugged into the thirtieth road was leaning her teacup towards her mouth in a really bad mood.
Queen Alice Ragdor, the righteous queen of the present emperor. Formerly the second daughter of the Duke of Algrey, a prestigious nobleman of the Empire, she is a monstrous woman who shot the Emperor's heart, eliminating her sister, the fiancé of her husband, who was still the Crown Prince at the time eleven years ago.
Once held to be truly adorable and fairy-like, his face lost its spirituality with age, proving that, although deluded with thin makeup, it had not been able to beat the opposite annual wave.
"How could this have happened... and everything was going so well along the way!
Gachari! and Alice putting the cup down to slap on the saucer.
It is good that we took the heart of our beloved emperor with all our efforts and safely took the throne of the queen. Apart from his destiny, there are many beautiful men who devote themselves, and his parents, who are the backshield, have gained a great deal of strength.
But what time did all those glories begin to have a debacle?
"Even a child... even a child in a cage says my position is a stone......!
A congenital illness that does not cage a child. It was nothing short of a fatal flaw as the queen to whom it was most important to have an inheritance.
The emperor himself loves Alice all the way and has set up a manipulation, but few of his men expect Alice, the twenty-nine stone women, to inherit her now, and he has been advised to marry her side chamber and divorce her.
As far as the abominable sister-in-law is concerned, Tachi is bad because he can even see a verse plotting to eliminate Alice for that reason.
Now, eleven years ago, many of the humans who were on her side when she eliminated her sister are on her sister-in-law's side.
Now the Emperor and his sister-in-law, who have many allies.
"What's wrong, Alice? So absurd."
"Dear Alberto,"
It was Alberto Ragdor, who took the throne of emperor as Alice's husband, who sounded worried by his wife driven by such agony.
Alice is getting older and carving up fine wrinkles, but it should be called the privilege of a man, which makes it a dandy charm.
"... In fact, I am doubtful of the Queen's qualities for not being able to give birth to an inheritance at all times... If you cannot give birth to an inheritance like this, I was wondering if it would be better to withdraw before Alberto bothered you any more..."
"Oh, poor Alice. It's okay. If there's anyone who can hurt you, I'll get rid of it."
Alberto gently hugged his wife's body to comfort her when she struck and behaved differently.
My husband has been the same for a long time. There is no different relief in trying to respond to it if you stir up a little desire for asylum, and it is actually easy to handle.
Without realizing that the two are gradually deprived of their courage by keeping away those who do not like them in this way, the emperor and his wife forget about their affairs and confirm their love with each other.
Eventually, when the night book also goes down, Alberto on the bed tells Alice gently to sleep next door.
Alice, you don't have to worry about the kids.
"Eh?"
"Actually, I stumbled upon an independent investigation by the Empire into the case of the Dragon King who came to the previous kingdom, and to my surprise, Shirley was alive."
Alice became aware of that name, which she had heard for a long time, that the consciousness floating in the heat cooled at once.
An abominable real sister who fell into a state of ruthlessness that she could not bear to see as a result of torture. The torturer was paranoid that all the wounds had suddenly disappeared, but he escaped immediately after that and thought he had already died somewhere wild, but apparently he survived and lived in the kingdom.
"I was curious to find out, and I saw that apparently now she has a twin daughter who is ten years old"
"Ten years old...... maybe"
"Oh. Probably think about it at times, it's more likely to be my child"
From inside Alice's chest came a blackish emotion.
Even though I can't have children, when I think that my sister, who has looked down on me so scatterly, is living happily ever after with Alberto's child, I immediately want to destroy that happiness.
Turning away from the fact that what underlies his heart is his jealousy of his sister, who has something he doesn't have, Alberto told him without realizing how his wife was.
"So I thought... if you take her to the Empire as heir to the throne, I don't think you need to suffer any more from the succession issue."
"So? Is the end of the dragon king's battle over earlier?
It has changed again, the office of the Royal Castle of the Kingdom. Canary, master of all adventurer guilds with the alias "The Golden Witch," a black double-horned demon clan that rocks long blonde hair that reaches his feet, sat on a desk where the king encourages paperwork and had a really mean grin.
"Ah. The post-war report to the people that Canary pushed the rest of the way was two letters of victory, and unnecessary confusion could be contained as much as possible.... every time, every time, just push it aside for plain trouble."
"Isn't that what the king does? Originally, politicians, including kings, were behind the country."
Eduardo Pendrago, the current king of the kingdom, is the magnificent man with dark hair like a lion who dwells in majesty in a bittersweetheart who laughs that it must be.
Commonly known as Black Lion King. In the kingdom, an ally of the Golden Witch, he is a wise king and famous ruler rarely seen in history.
"Nevertheless, in the process of sending soldiers to the scene of several dragon killings before, I had heard some information about the adventurer who had exorcised the dragon, but I really didn't know she was becoming known as the White Sword Ghost."
"Speaking of which, I hear your lords have known each other."
"Oh. I doubted my ears when I heard of the misfortune that had befallen me."
Famous memories are still a vivid reminder of the party that took place in the Empire, where we still had (...) interaction.
White hair that even deceives snow into a face so beautiful that it doesn't seem like it belongs in this world. And the girl, characterised by two colored eyes, pale and red, as if she had embedded a gem, smiled happily next to her fiancée.
Eduardo also understood how she felt at the time as a lover of his wife. So she spared terribly that love had been lost as a result of the Crown Prince's iniquity, but now she says she lives happily with her two daughters, albeit in the harsh position of adventurer.
As a king and as an individual, I am truly delighted.
"That's right, Canary, it's a medal ceremony for the adventurers who fought the Dragon King this time, but how many adventurers have expressed their participation?
"Oh, then you should see this"
What Canary handed him was a list of adventurers who took part in the battle against the Dragon King looming from three directions.
Edwald glances at those with and without the butt stamp next to his name and gently frowns.
"Less than I thought...... less than ten, isn't it? Is this a sign that the rest of the glory is lacking?
"Because a lot of adventurers and other people don't like hard rules. Instead, those who have expressed their participation are among the guild's strangers."
"Even as a country, I'd like to give them a reward in some way… because the most discerning money is already paid for by the Canaries. What's wrong?"
"Why don't you just give him some booze and food? Though I think it would be more pleasing than the honor of being sent in a tough place."
A king who genuinely takes into account the words of a canary who laughs. Edward sighs when he sees that the name of the person next to him bears a bat mark when he is disturbed by the exquisite additions and subtractions of adventurers who hate tough places for seeking honor.
"Will she still come? My wife was looking forward to seeing her soon as well... not the defeat of the Dragon King, but the people who will be treasured wherever they go, such as those who have accomplished the crusade. I need you to pick up your medal somehow, but what can you do?
"Hey, I can't do this."
Let the witch nibble.
"On this planned medal ceremony day, he refused because he said," The day I teach my daughter how to bake cookies. "I don't know what I'm going to see if I can't take him."
