Emotions Behind the Iron Side

SIDE: Stacia Findar

"Dear Stacia, George, I'll see you tomorrow. Bye, badass."

"Yes. See you tomorrow"

"Welcome back with care"

That's how the Hiiro lords walk away from the inn.

Lord Leah, Samantha and I are going home with our hands together.

Those three backs looked just like us someday.

"Well, I'm done with my training, and let's go home for dinner."

"Oh, yeah."

'Before that, after you sweat and mud off. Your father will be mad at you if you show your face in the dining room like this. "

"Ugh. Then, Carrie, quickly wipe your body, get dressed, and meet me in my room. '

"Yeah. Okay."

"Here, Arge!! Don't make customers pick you up or anything stupid!!

He drops his fist bone on Arge's head in the excess of his manners and immediately apologizes to Princess Carrie.

'I'm sorry, Princess Carrie. Please wait until I pick you up'

'Uh, ah, yes. So, but Arge...'

"Occasion!? Sister, more help!?

"Arge, think a little more and say something."

Those days I pulled Arge home with Princess Carrie holding her head and rolling down the ground.

... day after day, right?

That kid did that almost every day.

Somehow, maybe he was beautifying his memory too much.

Lord Hiiro is several times better than Arge, isn't he?

"… on. Sister."

"Yes. What is it?

"What's wrong with my sister, I didn't know you wouldn't notice my voice?

"I remember a little, I miss you"

"Really? But I guess that's a good memory. My sister is laughing now."

"... Yep. George doesn't know. It's a woman's memory."

"... do you recall seeing Lord Hiiro? I don't think they look alike, though?

"I guess that's why I laughed. If only my sister and a tenth of Lord Hiiro were quiet..."

"You sound angry when you hear it in person."

"Yeah. So let's just get back to the room before they get mad. We have to wrap up tomorrow's story."

"Yes."

Yes, I don't have time to be immersed in memories right now.

Now we see the magic, technical skill of a great power called Weed, and we have to have a good relationship at all costs.

This is what everyone who visits Weed will think.

It is clear that me and George, who are also representatives of Findar, will be the key to friendship.

Wrong, but not a country that can be hostile.

As you can see in the simulated battle at Bide, the military can use such great magic that it doesn't make sense, and the economic and technical power is the difference between cloud mud.

If you have a subordinate who can't see through the streets of Weed, it's better for our country to dismiss him immediately and bring him back to the civilian population.

Well, that kind of idiot is fortunately not among the messengers and honestly listens to us.

"As we all know, how much friendship we can forge with this weed in the future is key to whether Findar flourishes or abandons it"

All the messengers and escorts nod at George's words.

"But there are also problems that we need to eliminate now in order to form that friendship. The remnants of the Lila kingdom that made us lick bitter acids. As I'm sure we've all heard from Jozin, he's very likely involved in this deterioration of relations between Findar and Heiden. If that is true, it could be a war involving this battle, the neighbouring countries as well. That's all we have to avoid."

"So Master Yuki is going to set up a meeting with Heiden's top ministers, unofficially, but not officially. The place for the first meeting will be around noon tomorrow on this weed. I think Jozin knows..."

When George turns his gaze, Georgine nods open his mouth.

"Perhaps, Princess Carrie, the Duke of Camisillo, the daughter of that Duke, Lord Kagra. And Lord Catherine, Lord of Byde... she originally belonged to Heiden."

"It's an informal meeting with two of Heiden's three houses. It seems the interior of Heiden has been vandalized."

... Instead of Findar, do you eat up to Princess Carrie's country?

One minister opens his mouth as I tremble in such inner wrath.

"But as long as it's true?

Sure, it may not be true.

But there's no way Jozin would lie, and I think that's limitless low.

He'll know that, too.

Calm down for once.

"Oh, you have to consider that, too. Tomorrow's informal talks are also essential in order to make that decision. Then there is the sight with Her Majesty the Queen of Weed. Probably going to ask how we Findar are going to engage with Heiden."

"... but given that the Heidens are already in Weed, does that mean that Weed will work with those three families to engage with Heiden today?

"Probably so. Even if the remnants of the Lira Kingdom are not the cause, Heiden's internal affairs are unstable enough for your three families to be anxious. As a Weed based in Bide, I've seen it before."

"Sure, you're right. Although the cause is unclear, Heiden is on the verge of a rampage. It's not a mistake to say that you're occupying a corner of Heiden's territory. Though the cause lies with us and Heyden, it's enough reason to attack.... Oh, I see. That's why the three Heiden families offered to help Weed."

Yes. I guess that's why that clever Princess Carrie tied hands with Weed.

"Exactly. Princess Carrie, Lord Kagra was in Bide and took command and prevented the onslaught for nearly a week when the advance troops of our empire attacked Bide. It would not be an exaggeration to say a famous general. But Weed took the battlefield in an instant. Findar, I put Heyden together and sealed him off. If Heiden is bumping into Weed, who has such power, and is running wild under some circumstances..."

Heiden will be gone.

Literally, it's gone.

"It's a crisis of national survival. It's just the difference between collapsing from the inside or putting up a fight on Weed and doomed. Understanding that, Princess Carrie and Lord Kagra decided to join hands with Weed. I think this decision is brilliant."

Yes, there's only one way to avoid it.

I just have to work with Weed.

"But that's only Weed and Heiden's talk, and how do we Findar get involved? If you name your country badly, you might say that you conspired against the Kingdom of Lila."

"Exactly. So it will be necessary to hold informal talks tomorrow to make that decision first"

"You're absolutely right. So who's in the informal talks?

"It wouldn't be a good idea to go with too many people. There is also the matter of the Kingdom of Lila, which the Heiden side may be wary of. Me, my sister, Jorzin, as a matter of certainty, and then about one minister and two escorts. I guess you should wear more escorts if you're normal, but luckily this place is weed. The escort does not make sense in itself. If they were to kill me, they would have killed me for a long time. In that sense, security is guaranteed."

"Right. Shall we do it in the meantime?

"Right. Ask Lord Leah or Lord Samantha for materials to explain in the Imperial Capital…"

That's how George wraps up the story well.

It seems to be growing as a proper successor to Findar.

Meanwhile, I was feeling nervous about my election as a member of the talks.

... and if you notice, they were all disbanded and there was only me and Jozin left on the spot.

Without saying anything, Jozin puts a cup with some brown liquid in front of me.

"They call it cocoa. Lord Filia said it was delicious and calming, so I bought it. How about it? Lord Hiiro seems to like you too."

"I'll have..."

"Be careful, it's hot"

"Yes."

I take my helmet and include cocoa and dots in my mouth.

I felt it tasted very good because of its unique flavour, its sweetness and the flavour I had never experienced before.

"It's delicious."

"It seems to fit your mouth. Most importantly. I don't like sweets, but this cocoa is quite bitter and I can go. Yeah. Yum."

Without asking me anything, Jorzin drinks cocoa and sees the streets of Weed in the window.

"... you're still in good hands"

"Well, what are you talking about? I just suggested a drink."

"Really? Then I'm talking to myself, too. Princess Carrie..."

Later words didn't last.

What was I trying to say?

How are you? Is it a breath disaster? Neither is a good word for me to say.

One day the three of us just can't keep promises like that again, or the princess's country is in crisis because of our leak.

... Now, isn't there a face to match?

"I hope you're well, but Her Royal Highness Stasia has become an amazing actress."

"Girlfriend? Is she there?

She was being pulled around by a gutsy arge, and the word princess suited her well?

"Yeah. At first I thought it was just a public ignorance, hiding my nails. To contend with Her Royal Highness's enemies, and to defend the country, so far. That's a great word for swords and magic. I can even politics further. Your Highness Stasia may have been overtaken."

"Really... I am."

"Think hard. You can start by delighting that we haven't met in a long time. I know you're scared, but I promised Lord Hiiro. Cowardice must be cured."

"... right"

It's already been decided.

I know George probably cared to see me and Princess Carrie, too.

If I refuse now, could my position be worse?

... I feel sorry for myself that I can only be convinced by this way of thinking.

Can't you even tell me you're going to see Princess Carrie from yourself?

Princess Carrie became stronger if she believed Georgine's words.

And yet, am I allowed to stay like this?

Wouldn't Princess Carrie be angry or disappointed like me? Is it really a good thing that I'm meeting as the representative of Findar?

Being in such a grand thought, Jozin crushes again.

"As I said earlier, you don't have to think hard. As always, all you have to do is meet with Princess Carrie and the Heidens as messengers. There's nothing like Princess Carrie risking her country with her personal feelings right now."

"... Really?"

"I suggest you drink cocoa now and get some rest for tomorrow. You're comfortable in bed, too. And, I'm going around in a tavern for a bit. After this meeting, I will probably be returned to the capital of Findar. Souvenirs, Souvenirs and"

"Ah, Georgine."

Before I could speak, Georgine was leaving the room.

"Huh. You don't have to think hard..."

At dawn, I would be seeing Princess Carrie for the first time in seven years.

I couldn't tell you anything in depth then, and that's clear.

I don't want to run away, but... what the hell am I supposed to talk about...

With that in mind, if you notice, the heat is coming out of the cocoa, and it's reasonably warm, and you drink it, and then you don't seem to be able to sleep, but I decide to go into bed.

Comfortable bed.

Out of the blue, unexpectedly thinking I might be able to sleep easily, reminds me of Arge.

"... arge. What would you think if you found out I was the only one meeting with Princess Carrie?

'It's sloppy!! It's sloppy!! I miss you too, sister!! And the cocoa is sloppy!! sloppy!!

"Here, don't be so impatient. I'll buy you a souvenir and go home."

"Mmm. Really? Can you get me a souvenir?

"Yes, I promise."

'... then I'll put up with it. Please say hello to Carrie. But the next time we go to see each other, we'll be together.'

"Yes, sir."

I woke up dreaming like that.

"... a dream, is it? You were asleep at some point."

Ha, apparently I was too concerned about Princess Carrie, and Arge came out of her dreams worried.

"What a Merchant idea. Well, thanks to you, I feel a little easier."

Be careful not to let Princess Carrie down because of my impudence, even for the sake of Arge, who came out of her dreams.

What, Georgine's right, you just have to do it the way you always do.
