1172 Moat: Behind the Sadness

Behind the grief

Side: Fiora Dafio First Princess of the Kingdom of Dafio

The wind freezes at night.

Still, there are still many sparkling lights in the castle town that can be seen outside the window.

Yes, people are not afraid of war levies or conscriptions, and they are not anxious about their lives tomorrow.

There are just people living there who sing songs about their lives.

"No, I'm sure there will be others whose hearts are as dark as mine."

Yes, you laugh at what's convenient.

In fact, what I'm seeing is only a fraction.

Even this kingdom knows that there are many people in the back who are suffering, injuries, illnesses, and even those close to them who are dying and in the depths of misery.

"Such misfortune is everyday, and happiness is everyday.Is that all you have to say? "

Indeed, I ran to avoid war with my neighbors.But for the people of this castle town, it has nothing to do with it.

Unlike the villages that actually suffered from water shortages, we solved the problem before the war in the first place, so there is no sense of crisis.

It's just that for them.

That's what people are.

And there's no anger or dissatisfaction.

Me too, no, this country is the same.

Prior to this intercontinental alliance, there were wars between the great powers within the continent of Logari.

But there was nothing we could do about it.

Rather, there was no direct damage, so I didn't try anything in particular.

Yes, after all, we just realized that there was a fire powder falling on us.

And the other is that they have taught us that protecting, nurturing, and empowering people is the job of keeping the country.

And I have done the job faithfully.

I've been told that's what I was born to mean.

I will dedicate myself to this nation, to this people.

That's the kind of gratitude you can give to the people of the country that raised me.

"Yes, that should be it."

Nevertheless, why am I so disturbed?

My father did tell me to be Yuki's wife.And it is not happiness, it is only a royal duty, as a culprit.

I understand that a lot.

This time Dafio talks directly to Weed without going through Rochelle.In addition, it was not so much to break the paper that I ignored the queen and suddenly asked Yuki, the king's mate.

I did it, and I say it myself, but it's rude.

Originally, Yuki was relying on rumors that she liked women, even if it was a fait accompli, to help the country.

"What a horrible woman am I?That's why my father told me that you can't be happy, and that you can be a tool for the country like this.... "

Yes, is it sad enough to make you cry like this?

Originally a princess was a tool for political strategy.

Why is it so painful for me to understand and convince myself of such things and to go on to educate myself to do so?

"... calm down, calm down. I will certainly be treated as a tool, but I am the one who mourns it like this."

I knew royalty was that kind of thing.

Besides, I have not been treated unfairly before.

Rather, my family loved me properly, took care of my subordinates, and protected my people.

I have lived in peace without hunger and without compromising the people, myself or the soldiers, even though it was a world of war a while ago.

And this time, in terms of whether the country will be wrapped in war or not, I vowed and acted with royal pride to give in return for the country that I have raised up to date.

What was the dissatisfaction with that approach?

Rather, is mourning a blasphemy against myself and my country?

Sure, as a princess, it was a bit of an elegant way of life, but the bandits were cut down, not only under proper military command, but also to crush monsters.

I was embarrassed by my father to be more generous about it, but it is a good memory that he took the sword and jumped out for the country.

Not only that, but also the uncles and aunts of the castle did well.

I also played with the children.

Looking back so far, I... finally realized why I was mourning.

"... I see. Don't I want to leave this country?"

I didn't have time to think about it when I thought my country was about to get caught up in war.

But you were relieved to see the prospect of solving the problem.

That's why I noticed.

I want to stay in this loving country.

There is nothing hard about marrying Yuki as a servant as a punishment.

No, to be honest, Weed's life was wonderful, and Yuki didn't like women unlike the rumors, and on the contrary, I know very well that she wasn't a meaningless tough person.

My father told me not to be happy with this marriage as a royal duty, but he still wishes me happiness.

If you look up, there may not be a cut, but what do you mourn for on such favourable terms in the first place?

So there is no reason for the other party.

I just wanted to stay here, in this dafio.

"Haha, how pathetic it would be to love home at a time like this."

When you murmur like that, your sadness somehow fades.

Oh, like this happened before?

Yes, when I had to go to another country on some business, I cried because I really didn't want to leave this castle.

"Fufu. But, of course, this is what I'm talking about..."

My beloved castle town spreads before my eyes.

Today is not the last day.

"You'll be busy from now on. And it looks like you're in shock, so let's stretch out your legs now."

Fortunately, my current mood seems to be conveyed to those in the castle, and no one comes to the room.

If I were a maid with a gift that would dare ignore that, I'd just retired the other day.

It's convenient.

So....

"Let's get you out of the window for a while."

I put my foot on the window whispering like that and jumped out.

If it was just a person, it would fall and cause serious injury or death.

"The wind."

Use magic to relieve the impact and land lightly.

Well, I can't use the magic of flying in the sky, but it's just too much magic to be practical right now.

I'm just going for a night out.

Yoo-hoo

As always, there was no problem getting out of the castle.

In the old days, running away was a hassle.

Ahahah, it is said that I am now working seriously as a princess, but it was a terrible thing in the past.

"But this hasn't changed either.I'm still garbage. "

I came out of the castle in a back alley somewhere in downtown.As soon as you get down to the walls of the castle, you'll find it straight away, so you go to the roof pass for a while and then you descend into the back alley.

Normally, these back alleys are dangerous, but this place has been secured since they found out I'm escaping on this route.

Well, I picked up the villains who would gather here myself.

"Oh, no. It's a waste of time to spend in places like this."

If you don't get out of town soon, the shop will close.Or let's enjoy the taste of the castle in a long time.

For me, it's the taste of home that will be relieved for a while.

So I'm going to leave the back alley and go out onto the front street.

It still leaves the liveliness that you just saw from your private room.

"Where are you drinking today?"

That's right. Why don't you excite yourself a little higher? "

Hey, I earned it today.

and so on, people who are returning from work walk with a whisper.

Almost all around you are men.

Well, it's not safe for a woman to walk out at night like this.

It's not far from Weed.

Well, that's fine, but I can't sleep because I have to eat right away.

Let's have fun here in one of the most popular shops.

So I went to an old restaurant on the edge of the street.

There are still bright lights and loud voices there today.

"Grandma, give me one of the usual."

"Yes, sir."

Same here. Give me the pasta.

"Yes, sir."

The shop serves just pasta.

And that aunt seems to be as well as usual, above all.

"Can I have the same one?"

When I go in with that, the shop's aunt looks a little surprised, but immediately smiles.

"Come on, let's eat."

"Yes"

and treats you as usual.

"Unfortunately, the table seat is full, so please use the counter there."

I don't mind.

It is always the case that this place is popular.

I've been here too many times, so there's nothing wrong with having someone next to me at the counter when I eat.

Rather, it is one of the pleasures of having a casual conversation with the person next door and listening to various things.

"Side, okay?"

"Oh, it's okay."

And I got an answer and sat in my seat and looked at my face to talk to me again....

Eh? Yuki-sama?

"Hmm? Oh, Princess Fiora."

For some reason Yuki was eating pasta.

No, it's delicious here, so I don't think there's any problem in that sense...

And beside that...

"Huh? Ah, poof."

Riel, let's eat and talk.

"" "Goho goho" "

"Ha, relax, all three. Eat up."

"Ahaha. it's a coincidence."

It looks like everyone at Weed is eating at the counter for some reason.

"Hey, why are you here?"

"No, I had a reputation for being delicious in this castle.That looks like Peperoncino.Culture, huh?So, as they say, it's delicious. "

"Hah... no, I think it's delicious."

"Oh, it's nice to hear it. Both of you, Fiora is in big spirits, and oniisan there is extra."

"Ah, thank you."

"Thank you."

Don, Don and Auntie's special pasta are placed in front of you.

I have a lot to tell you...

"I'll eat first. Can I talk to you later?"

"Oh, we need to eat while it's warm."

"Yeah, it's delicious. Auntie, replace it."

I'll have a refill with Riel.

"Yes, sir."

So we lined up and concentrated on eating more pasta.

"Goho goho. Ah, thank you. Dear Misty Hua,

"Never mind. But I know you're surprised, but be careful in the future.Rather, remember to eat it without worrying about it, as it happens often in Wednesday. "

"Huh? Is it common?"

"Yes, it is. And whether you are the king of the great Powers or not, you are in the stall."

"Ahahah. I'm afraid to go back to Weed."

After all, I feel like I've heard something cold and sweaty in my ears.

No, first have a good meal.

This may be the last home-cooked dish anyway.

... I don't really think I'm safe or anything.
