Hakai no Miko

Lesson 135 Pillar Stone

"If it were Princess Warina, she would be the princess of Holmea, the central power of the western region." I will never pull my finger on Parfena in this bloodline. "

Solon shook the bottle and weighed the remaining amount of alcohol, saying like any other human resource.

"Besides, this is a country that was a former Holmea country." It is only natural to marry the princess of the old royal family for the sake of the peace of the folk grass that lives there. The boy was reluctant to think that he had inherited the Hormea nation, but even after the Hormea nation had already been destroyed, he would have had enough of it. Everyone will be convinced that this country is stable and that it was secretly trying to receive Princess Warina as the princess of the lad in order to obtain the peace of its citizens. Enough to turn down Parfena's proposal.

And above all, anyone in this country will know the relationship between the princess and the lad. Even if you were engaged to that kid, don't doubt anyone. "

It was a pale horse who refused to inherit the Hormea nation, but it should not be taken as a disregard for the Hormea nation itself.

Therefore, Azure horses did not lack gifts for Warina at that time. Also, it was usual for Warina to return the gift with a letter of thanks, accompanied by seasonal flowers and embroidery by her own hand.

In addition, Azure horses not only indispensably invite Warina to official events, but everyone in the capital knows that Warina always holds a personal tea ceremony when visiting the capital.

"In addition, if you look at the personal character and qualities of Princess Warina (Kan), there will be no problem." Although I was treated coldly, I was educated as a daughter of the royal family. I've never been stupid enough to speak and act as a princess in exile. Even on the slightly introverted side, as a queen, you can think of it as a beauty if you don't uselessly talk about politics (every festival). "

Everyone was convinced by Solon's words, "I see."

However, there is no question at all. There was a reason why everyone had unconsciously excluded Warina from discussing the honorary consort of the pale horse by Parfena. Garam asks questions on behalf of everyone.

But Princess Warina was abducted, and now she's with her brother Alexius.

Solon kicked Garam's concern off, saying, “It's more convenient.”

"Parfena, who is crazy about faith, can't be easily convinced just because she has a prior appointment." But there was no such thing as Princess Warina. Even if I don't want to pursue it, I can't help it. It is enough to buy time for a while. The Kingdom of Shpamur can't just leave Parfena in this mess. Soon, Parfena will be recalled to her homeland. "

As for the Shpamur kingdom, which will not want any more disturbances, it is only natural.

"Besides, this is convenient for Princess Warina." We know that the princess was forcibly abducted. Then, Alexius named Princess Warina along with his own name when he started the rebellion, and nominally tailored it to be the mastermind of the same rebellion. Now, after the rebellion is quelled, we have to punish Princess Warina in some way. "

Certainly, it is not surprising that Warina was accused of collaborating with Alexis' rebellion because of her feelings for her brother.

"Everyone who knew the situation in Holmea knew that the princess was being sinister towards Alexis." What happens when the boy comes in there and takes back his wife, the princess?

The princess turned quickly into a tragic princess who was captured by her violent brother and separated from my contemplators. Again, I will. Common people love these stories. Then the people will applaud the call of the abbot, and on the contrary, the hearts of the people will be further away from Alexius. "

As well as defending Warina's position, everyone could not help but admire the tricks of Solon, who gathered support for the Azure Horse Rally and even damaged Alexius' reputation.

"But old Solon. If the emperor declares Princess Warina as his wife, perhaps the cornered princess of Alexius could be used as a hostage to the emperor?"

It was Marcronis who raised the question.

And Soron admitted that "there is a possibility." On top of that, Solon continued.

By the time we do that, Alexius will be dead.

When Alexis started the rebellion, he went out of his way to seize Warina, not just to take away the witness who had transferred the royalty.

It is the relationship between the king and the nobles of this era that the king grants the nobles the right to rule over the land that they possess, and instead the nobles have the duty to follow the king's orders and lead the soldiers in battle in the event of an emergency.

Alexius, who had the legitimate right to inherit the Hormea nation, had left a great stain on the city of Ruoma, where he abandoned his allies and fled before the enemy during the Battle of Hormea. It is no exaggeration to say that in the event of a matter, it is a foolishness for the royalty who has the duty to lead the lords and protect the country, to cast down the crown themselves.

Warina, on the other hand, has remained in the royal capital until the end, watching the end of the country, and has fulfilled her duty as a royal family until the end, such as transferring the royal authority to the current Erdoğan country.

If this rebellion had been Alexis' only, many would have kicked Alexis's assertion that he would lead his soldiers to the Holmea revival, like Mitus in the city of Ruoma, saying, "You gave up your duty first." However, many people were upset because of the name of Warina, who fulfilled the duty of royalty until the end of the rebellion.

"If we take Warina hostage or harm her, Alexius will be just a thief." The ones who are helping him with his rebellion are the ones who originally wanted to reclaim their interest in the land of Hormea. Alexius, who had fallen into the thief's hands, was worth it. Rather, Princess Warina would be interested in it. If you shake them up, it'll be easy for them to surrender with Princess Warina. ”

Everyone in the room admired Solon's suggestion.

With some problems, it seems best to welcome Warina to the pale horse's queen. It seemed to me that if only we could solve the problem of Parfena, who was besetting her head, or if we could contain Alexius' rebellion, there would be nothing else.

Even though the brightness of the problem-solving was visible, everyone's face was brightened, but Solon continued with "Hayato-".

The biggest problem is how to convince the boy and his half body.

Solon's words were showering with cold water in the hearts of everyone who stood up.

In the first place, the source of Parfena's problems lies in the pale horses themselves.

For ordinary people, the appropriate age for marriage is from the middle of the teenage years to around the age of twenty. It is not strange for a king to be a nobleman, even if his fiancé was appointed before he was ten years old, and in some cases he was married.

In those days, even though he was a king but he was twenty years old, he was still unmarried. It was abnormal in this era to have a pale horse that he did not set aside as a mistress.

It would be no exaggeration to say that Parfena's disturbance was attracted to the anomaly.

However, the anomaly was not pointed out not only by the subordinates of the former Holmea country, but also by Garam and the others. And there's only one reason I couldn't.

It is the presence of Shemul.

The relationship between the pale horse and Siemul was difficult to understand from the rest of us.

An unusual courtesy of deliberately establishing the position of King with various privileges for the King, who is the seat of supreme respect, and placing him beside him. Furthermore, the privilege of scolding the king, yelling at him, or even acknowledging the violence of hitting and kicking is clearly beyond the control of the majesty.

Pointing that out to the Minister, Azure horse said, "Siemul will beat me. I am determined to have done something wrong. There is no problem."

King Sadma of Holmea, who was once honored, also said something similar when he used General Darius and Prime Minister Pompeus.

However, in the case of the pale horse, it was hung in a circle.

It's not all about the behavior. Even the standard of judgment of everyday good and evil is more Siemul's than its own.

This could no longer fall within the confines of a mere lord and his loyal servants.

But even so it is not a love between a man and a woman.

The pale horse is a man, and Shemul is a woman, though the tribes are different. Too close a distance between the two of them, the subordinates were sometimes harrassed. However, the two of them do not care about each other's sexuality, and nothing makes them feel the love between men and women.

Rather, he hated to be perceived of such things, but at night, Siemul kept away from the sleeping quarters of the pale horses, and entrusted the guard to Shahata.

If you think so, the two exchanges in daily life are the breathing of the ahn (ahn) of the couple who accompanied them for many years. It was something that made everyone feel a deep bond that could not be broken.

It didn't fit into the frame of the master and his loyal servants, but more.

Love between a man and a woman is a bond that is deeper than that, even though it is not a bond.

It was a strange relationship.

Therefore no one knew how to touch it.

Even Eladia, who was jealous for a moment and thought it was better for Sinhorse and Siemur to keep a distance from each other, saw Siemur's wolf slap after she was assassinated, and she swore to her heart that she would not touch their relationship.

To welcome Warina into the honor of the Azure Horse is to create a wave of such a relationship between the two.

No one knew what would happen if there were no longer any cracks between the pale horse and Siemul, which everyone recognized as a unicentric union. In the worst case, there is a danger that the pale horse will cast off the crown and destroy the country.

With that in mind, are you prepared to tell the two of you to welcome Warina to your queen?

Still, are you prepared to crack their relationship?

Solon was silent and asked.

A lot of silence came down.

"I'll tell you what."

Garam rose with the words.

Soron's eyes narrowed with interest.

Oh, I wonder if the General will persuade you both.

“No, I'm only going to tell Siemul.”

Garam said as he turned his back to Solon, who frowned for some reason, and walked to the door.

"I will have Siemul tell you this to His Majesty."

Everyone was jumpy.

The relationship between the pale horse and Siem Reap, which no one has ever cared about, and which was never touched.

Make it clear to Shemul himself.

That's what Garam said.

Please wait!

It was Eladia who stopped him.

"General and Master Wang...!"

What Eladia couldn't say was the word "brother and sister."

I was asked to testify, and I was told to welcome Warina to the pale horse. Moreover, from the fruitful brother Garam, how was Siemul's mood at that time?

With that in mind, Eladia, the same woman, became indignant.

"With me, I have a love for my sister."

Garam clutched the door knob and uttered a bitter word.

"We are still at the heart of one country." What we're doing is no longer a game. Every decision we make and every action we make has a bearing on the lives of this country and its millions of people. It is unacceptable to be a fool who now turns a blind eye from problems because of fraternity or affection. Don't be a coward who hates being resented by your Majesty and your sister and throws away responsibility. ”

So Garam looked over his shoulder and laughed so bitterly that other races could see it.

If that's the case, then it must be my duty to bear the role of a general.

Then Garam left the room.

With everyone unable to find any more words to stop Garam, one Solon mouths a bottle of wine.

"Do you want me to go ahead and take on heavy responsibilities..."

Solon smiled mockingly at himself.

How reliable compared to myself who once could not bear the weight of the death of my love son in battle and the death of my daughter-in-law and her first grandson in womb, and who threw everything away and left the country?

"It is precisely the pillar of the country that bears its weight"
