From Shirley's point of view, I wouldn't be able to replace my belly on my back correctly. It would refer to this situation.
"The return and return of the spatial transfer to the Empire? Besides, he wants you to set up a place for conversation with the Emperor? I see. I mean, Shirley came to the power of a great concubine, didn't she? What should I do?"
…………
Two weeks after that, Shirley strongly thinks, "That's why I didn't want to rely on this woman," while keeping her iron skin in front of a mean smiling canary from Wang Du back to the guild on the border that would make me want to hit her right now.
The young daughters' thoughts were no mistake. I don't know if it makes sense, but clarifying this intent for my surroundings will also change my response.
It's more about the people than the individuals... Even if the imperial intentions remain unchanged, there is also the possibility that we can hope for a change in dealing with human beings on the Kingdom's side.
On top of that, if we can attract strong influential canaries from all walks of life in economic terms, we will be more likely to be able to keep our lives the way they have been without having to deal with much.
That said, it is not a matter of the highest priority. In the worst case scenario, it can also be eliminated by strength.
I relied on the canary because it is likely that I will be able to maintain my original life in peace and reliability. If that didn't happen, I would totally cut it off, but Canary's reply was unexpected.
"Be good, let us fulfill the Lord's wishes."
"............... what are you going to do? Did you eat anything weird?
"What do you think of your concubine?"
Such clams and this demanding canary are extremely creepy from Shirley. So much so that I accidentally worry about picking up and eating.
"Actually, it's no longer a good story for a concubine."
"What do you mean?
"Um, actually."
The canary spoke out loudly.
Two days after Rudolph and his men were arrested by kingdom soldiers, Alberto did something extra while an imperial minority, including Filia, was responding quickly to crimes committed in other countries.
They sent me a parent book using diplomatic communication magic props. If this were all, you would think that there would be some sort of apology or a request for future handover, and in fact Eduardo, who saw the letter in person, wondered what excuse he had prepared until just before, but there was an incredible sentence spelled out there.
"It is clear that the Adventurer Alliance representative Canary to the Kingdom has taken the two Imperial Empress to your country. It is rhetorical and moral that after the harm done to my consort, who picked me up for good reason of regaining the princess's personality, I have not even contacted the Crown Princess to surrender her. As soon as possible, hand over to our country the identities of two princesses and six knights below Rudolph '
Canary assured me that Alberto had sent a parent document as if he had learned more about it because he had learned it from information sent by the demon.
Eduardo gets angry at what could be called reopening rather than excuses for knowing so much.
Originally, if you want me to hand over the identity of a princess who is in another country, it is normal to send her a parent book before sending people.
Nevertheless, Alberto committed the kidnapping dispute by ignoring all the processes that were diplomatically essential, such as the noble surrender process and the apostolic immigration process that should have been taken.
There is no apology for the matter, and I ask the guilty people not only to be innocent, but also to be honest.
"This is selling fights to the kingdom... you're too naive to see it that way"
I guess the throne of the emperor will make it so. In the first intercontinental talks and this one, Eduardo's figure in Alberto is a childish, all-purpose adult.
"Well, then this is a war that does not depend on soldiers."
The Black Lion King responded quickly. He immediately adjusted the schedule and hung up with the Empire to talk about handing over the Crown Princess through Phillia, bringing it to the table of the Heads of State and Government in just ten days.
"…… It's too late."
"Hmmm... don't let the time pass already"
There is no such thing as belonging on the continent. The conversation between the Führer therefore also means that the positions are reciprocal, and it is a lesson to take place in tents provisionally built on the border.
In a place of dialogue covered by a large tent with references to those used by nomadic peoples, they continued to wait for the imperial side, where the civil servants and soldiers of the kingdom, including Edwald, and the Cardinal, called to make the meeting a smooth one, would not appear.
Despite the fact that the conversation was punctual and, fifteen minutes ago, it was an implicit understanding that Alberto appeared more than a dozen seconds ago.
"At all, what do you mean to call an emperor to a place like this? I heard that the Crown Princess has been handed over, but isn't that what you're supposed to be asking?
And the first voice is this. The kingdom side distorts its frowns simultaneously, with the exception of Eduardo and Canary, while the imperial side dyes its face with shame by several people, including Philia.
Even though it would be difficult for his subjects and people to follow him in the emperor, who had no common sense as a public servant, Eduardo felt painful to impose heavy taxes on the imperial people.
(No... the emperor who became a puppet without realizing (...) is pathetic too)
In Eduardo's eyes, aware of the major factors in the emperor's rampage with information conveyed by Philia, Alberto was only pitied.
"... well done, Lord Alberto. We're busy with each other, though we'd like to get excited about bickering. Let's get down to business."
"Right. So, where are my daughters, Sophilia and Tionisia?
Alberto looks around, shaking his head to the left and right.
"... I remember the names of the girls you claim to be princesses are Sophie and Tio respectively?
"That's the name given by their daughters' mothers. The Empress has a proper name for the Empress. I'd like you to at least thank me for improving the name I'm used to calling you."
If we had here, we would have been furious with the dialogue, without any evil. As his surroundings grew larger and smaller and his complexion changed, Eduardo replied without changing his expression at all.
"Cheng Cheng, I understand your claim. But there is no reason in our country to respond to it, and therefore the girls in this case are not here either. Six knights, including his best samurai."
"What!? Didn't the kingdom call me to hand over the two princesses and the Rudolphs!?
"All I'm telling you is that we need to talk about the Crown Princess's surrender."
Even with blood connections, Shirley and her daughters are just king nationals on the paperwork. First, Alberto bites abruptly at Eduardo, who tows that fact to his shield.
"The rest is the head of a nation. How can the people respond to a king who sold his people to another country?
"Since what time has the kingdom become a land of usurpation, such as refusing to hand over the princess knowing that the witch there has taken her to the kingdom!?
If you don't say so, Philia scolded him in the heart. I guess I only recognize that I picked up my daughter from the person in question, but I have enough shame on my face.
"It is understandable that it is indeed desperate in the matter of succession and in the position of Her Majesty the Queen. But I suppose you've cut off all connections to Lord Shirley, who had a child in his womb at the time, and you haven't even recognized the child before? Then both mothers and daughters are no longer imperial citizens, and there is no reason to give them to the Empire. This is what the Holy Nation, which presides over international mediation, also recognized. The same applies to the following six Kingsamurai, and if you do not intend to judge them in your country, you cannot hand them over as kingdoms. Do you think there's justice here?
"Th, That is……………………..!
Alberto the boulder must also be frightened to come out to the Holy Country, which is not only the kingdom, but also the main mountain of religion serving the goddess of the sky, and the role of brakes between nations.
And he doesn't want to admit it, but he understood that his decision to make Edward abandon his position as a fiancée, as he put it, and also cut off his connection to his parents' house, was a failure.
No matter how much this claim is pushed out, the kingdom can protect Sophie and Tio in the position of a people who should be sheltered.
(But... in other words, just civilians. I did fail this time, but next time you can start a war but you can reclaim it......!
Even though he's a king, there's no way he's going to turn his neck on millions of people, and he can't afford to put it on individuals at all times.
Alberto, who is sensitive to his weaknesses, sees that Eduardo doesn't like it while keeping his case on the shelf.
The Black Lion King in front of me hates war despite having a formidable army. That is incomprehensible to Alberto, it is also the common sense of the country.
Budgets, stockpiles and lives, war consumes a great deal. From Alberto, he thinks it's a good idea to throw away as much money, soldiers, etc., but Eduardo wants to control diplomacy without fighting as hard as possible.
Then if you let him smell the war, you should weigh the two citizens and the state, and lean towards the latter. The emperor, who only works the spicy wisdom of his hand, hoists the corner of his mouth to threaten the black lion.
"But it's troublesome how they can talk to each other and smell the war."
"!?
But the words that came out of his mouth with just one word of Eduardo, who expected such Alberto's thoughts, are controlled.
"But as a country, you should also want to avoid wearing it out with aggression… Now, what's the matter?"
"I have a suggestion in awe."
It was Filia who raised her hand. Alberto gives his sister permission to speak to Eduardo with a strange look on his face.
"……… Say it."
"I understand that the kingdom makes sense. But as an empire, I want you to connect with His Majesty the Emperor and his two bloody daughters and come to the empire as heirs to the throne. So it's an old format, but I'll sign up for a divine match."
A divine match is a proxy war in the country, so to speak, that takes place at the presence of the Cardinals of the Holy Land.
In the old days, each of the two countries, which had no room for war, elected one warrior of its own to compete in martial arts, saying that the winner's side of the country had benefited from territories, people, favorable treaties and other benefits.
However, it is a relic that has remained in form only in recent years because of the ethical issues that determine important inter-state arrangements in gambling duels and so on, abandoning discussions.
(This was good, wasn't it? His Majesty Edwald, Dear Canary)
And this is the trap that the three Phileas plotted. If the story continues to follow parallel lines, the foolish emperor may unilaterally provoke a war in which the damage of both countries spreads.
If only the kingdom had won this divine match and banned any invasion of the kingdom. Alberto bites remorsefully when he tells us that if we break the divine game, which is still in effect, and the treaty decided by victory, the surrounding countries will turn to their enemies simultaneously.
There are risks at the time of defeat, but it's the same thing in the sense that Alberto says so, because he takes more risks than that at the time when he comes up with a threat on the grounds of war.
(In addition to that, there is wasting (...)... if we do that much, the Empire loses forever the legitimacy to take the sisters to the Empire)
Either way, winning the match in front of you is the only way to show off the real price. It would be nice if we even approved Alberto later...
"Gu, uhhhhhh...!
"What is it, Lord Alberto? Is there a problem with His Highness Philia's proposal? It's a defective arrangement, but I think a duel is a far better idea than an invasion? I'm sure the Empire has had a bad time reconciling itself with the demon kingdom since ancient times."
Alberto was troubled. The same is true of the humiliation of being controlled at will of the venue, but my head is full because it hits my inner circle against a reality that doesn't go the way I want it to.
Pride as emperor, humiliation deprived of command by her sister princess, and the leisurely correspondence of the Black Lion King. While Alberto doesn't even say the exact opposite of the conversation he's taking the lead in, a canary that he hasn't spoken out before will haunt him.
"Kuhahahaha! It's not that hard on you, Eduardo. Because it's not very popular with retarded kids."
"Oh, retarded boy......? Is that what you're saying to me............!?
Distress is outrageous. Alberto unconsciously felt blood concentrate on his face where the sweat was seeping and illuminating the fire.
So far Alberto has lived in the midst of people. His sister, Filia, has been in conflict in recent years, but there are still many on his side, and it is only natural for Alberto to be respected.
Thus, for the first time today, he was subjected to ramblings thrown up with uncivilized malice.
"It was a laughing thing to watch as the momentum of the beginning faded instantly, Emperor. (laughs) Well, the play martial arts of a weak nation, the kingdom soldiers are not even at the feet of the adventurers our guild is proud of, are they? It's hard. There's an overwhelming difference between the Imperial Miscellaneous Fish and Adventurers."
"Ki, you!! You insult the country I rule!!
This also has Alberto raging his voice absurdly, and anger in the expressions of the Imperial Knights who have followed him, starting with Lumigliana.
Though it is not unusual for them to mock the power of their prized knights without any shards of reluctance.
"Well, is that supposed to happen, too? The key emperor can't do this... if you keep quiet from listening earlier, you'll only feel creepy about the attitude that takes precedence and is only natural."
"Creepy!?
"Bye. Your lord is creepy. I don't want to be the only one talking like this right now."
Even a canary that rambles against the head of a country. It is an acceptable barbarity because she does not strictly belong to any country and is out of her control financially, personally or competently.
"It also extends to the feet of formidable kingdom soldiers and adventurers, such as warriors from a country ruled by your son painted with such excessive complacency. Was there any salvation yet?
"…… would be good………! If you mean to disparage me that much, take it and stand! A divine match between my daughter and Rudolphs, precisely in the power of the knights of our country!
Alberto leaves himself to anger and cheaply accepts Philia's proposal.
Thus, the scene of the battle that betrayed Sophie and Tio's future was raised.
"Do you have anything left to say?
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!? Stop it! Stop it! Stop cutting your skull with your sword! Your brain won't spill!
In the courtyard of the Adventurer Guild on the border, Shirley buries a cut from the neck of the canary down to the ground and into her skull with a cut of her sword. The boulder witch also has to scream before the elaborate slaughter that can damage her brain, a weakness of the semiimmortal (Immortal).
"I understand the story. I could understand that it later set up a place of battle for the Kingdom to hold me back against the troubles caused by the Empire in connection with my daughter, and that that was the biggest compromise the Kingdom could come up with diplomatically. And then there's Canary's soul and guts trying to make the Empire a place to appeal to the power of the Adventurer."
"Oh, isn't that a good guess? I'll send a compliment."
But Shirley dwells a swordswallowing light in her pale and red eyes.
"That kind of thing should talk to us before we get on with it, right? I thought the neighborhood of His Majesty Edward was taking care of the neighborhood?
"No, my concubine had some business returning to this city during the conversation."
Then why didn't you tell me? You weren't away from this city because of your daughter and the Empire?
"Um, the concubine also told Eduardo not to worry because she would tell him when she returned to the city... Actually, there was a deep situation and he reported it afterwards. You'd be surprised to hear that.
"What? If it's just a story, I'll listen?
"As a matter of fact, the chef of the guild has developed a new suite of sweets without the knowledge of his concubine. There is a serious task of tasting it quickly……"
The sound of something hard cracked, Megoli, wooded in the blue sky.
"Well, that would be good. No, it's not good... but it's progress. Honestly, I had to rely on the power of the state to stop a country from moving, and if I could get through this demand, so be it."
It doesn't matter who they are... you just have to win.
Burning in unprecedented pneumonia, The White Sword Ghost was superimposed on a wooden no-leaf that swept through the phantoms of an imperial warrior yet to be seen, cleaving it with a flicker that far surpassed the sound.
