In a Different World with a Smartphone
# 377 Kingdom of Horn, and the conference dances.
Kingdom of Horn.
In the tabular world, agricultural countries located in the eastern part of the continent. Blessed with fertile lands and mild climates, the land created its own cultural area and only tried to have diplomacy with a limited number of countries.
One of the reasons that inspired this is the invasion of the Empire Euron, which once existed.
Until about a hundred years ago, the Kingdom of Horn also retained its territory in the north. It was taken away by the power of the Euron over its abundance.
Naturally, the Kingdom of Horn cut off its diplomacy with Euron, forged an alliance with the Kingdom of Ferzen and held Euron back. He has since been in a semi-clad state for nearly a hundred years.
Having an independent culture and national power, sounds good, but not having a new culture in also means being left out of the world. I didn't even try to incorporate that magical culture from an allied Ferzen.
It was Kamra da Horn, son and first prince of the former king, Tonam da Horn, who had a sense of crisis about it.
As it stands, there are no new developments in the Kingdom of Horn. He invited people from other countries to ask for teaching, and he advanced to his father, the King, that he should actively incorporate that culture.
But the Father King did not recognize it, and a certainty arose between the King and the First Prince. He said that if we didn't recognize each other and looked at each other, it would have been a yelling day. They were both stubborn in character, so they didn't give in to each other, and their friendship got worse year after year.
And a year ago, a tragedy befalls the royal family.
The sudden accident death of the First Prince. In the rain, every carriage fell to the bottom of a cliff, ending its life at the age of twenty-one.
The funeral took place to a large extent and all the people mourned its too young death. Now King Horn dies suddenly, as he chases after him there. It was only a week after the death of the First Prince.
Some said that there had been an overlap of hard work, while others said that the illness coming from ill health in the past few years had worsened.
An immediate national burial took place and the whole country was put to mourning. The people were saddened by the tragedy that kept them standing.
But this was not the end of the misfortune of the kingdom of Horn.
Normally the next king is the First Prince. But the first prince has died a week ago. Normally, Quo Da Horn, the son of the first prince of the direct line, the first year of his reign.
Naturally, there's no way a one-year-old can do national politics or anything. Everyone wondered if Shubain Adante, the prime minister of the Kingdom of Horn and also the maternal grandfather of King Quo, would be regent.
But it was Ganossa da Horn, who was the king's brother, who disputed this.
The previous king had expressly stated that he would strip the First Prince of his right to inherit the throne and let himself, his own brother, inherit the throne. It was proclaimed by Shubain to be the dictatorship and usurpation of kingdom.
On the other hand, the Chancellor, the Schbain side, wanted a relationship repair, as the former king managed to lose his tenacity with the First Prince. I disputed that I was the one being asked to bridge the bridge.
"We did not pull a single step from each other, and a power dispute broke out here between the Kings Sun and the Kings Brothers. This is what we're talking about when we finally got one step ahead of us in the civil war"
"That's what I mean"
King Ferzen nods small at Pope Ramish's words.
Large carriages in the Ferzen kingdom continued to drive down the road to the Royal Castle of the Kingdom of Horn.
The car is in a relaxing room, with Pope Ramisch and His Majesty King Ferzen sitting at the front of me.
And sitting on both sides of me are Yae and Cherry Blossoms, which have been named Escorts.
"Ferzen stands between the two factions and asks them to talk. In doing so, under the Pope, I want you to spot their lies."
"So depending on the outcome, Ferzen will be on either side?
"Mm-hmm. I can't think of a civil war for my country to put behind it."
Well, that's just it. But what am I supposed to do if Pope Takeshita is the one to spot lies?
"I want to ask the Winter and Night Hall to be vigilant by magic. I don't think so, but not necessarily no one harms the King's brother, or the Chancellor. Maybe there's something I don't know about you and the others."
I see. If it is true that a dark group of Eurons is involved, is there any chance that something will happen? They're like suicide bombers for a purpose. I didn't know what I was going to do.
As he took a deep breath to tighten his mind, the carriage was coming all the way to the front of the royal castle.
Royal castle, but not as big as Belfast or Leggles. The construction was qualitative in one way or another, and none of the beauty was there.
If I were to analogize, I wonder what...... I pulled out the red from Shuri Castle and made it feel plain, right? Although it is only an image.
Through the castle gate and into the castle. Raw Hate and Gate weren't like a courtesy gate.
Soldiers belonging to the Ferzen Magic Soldiers jumped out of another carriage that was running ahead of us when the carriage stopped. The same way the Ramish Saints descend from the rear carriage and line up in front of our carriage.
The captain of those soldiers opened the door to our carriage. His Majesty King Ferzen, under Pope Ramish, out in our turn.
"Welcome to the Kingdom of Horn, His Majesty King Ferzen, His Holiness Pope Ramish, His Majesty Lord Brunhild"
A man stands in front of the door leading to the royal castle. The age was around thirty, a man with dark hair all-back and glasses. I have an image like a civilian, but my eyes are sharp. He is dressed in asymmetrical ethnic costumes and wears something like a belt on his shoulder.
"What happened?
"My name is Torren Hanoi, the Tokai Marquis, and I have one Four Marquis of the Kingdom of Horn. See you later."
"The Four Marquis?
When I uttered words I was unfamiliar with, the person at the time answered me.
"It is a four Marquis with a large territory in the Kingdom of Horn. I am giving the Great East Territories facing the sea, so with the Horse of the East Sea."
There are several territories in the Kingdom of Horn, but four of them are large, each of which they call the Tokai Marquis, Nishimori Marquis, Kitayama Marquis, and Nanquan Marquis.
Within this, Hou Kitayama and Hou Nishimori are divided into two main parts: the Ganossa da Horn side, which is the king's younger brother, and the Chebain Adante side, which is the prime minister.
Does that mean the Tokai Hou Toren in front of you is on the prime minister's side?
Marquis Torren... can I have the Tokai Marquis? The Tokai Marquis will lead us to the castle.
"I never thought that His Majesty King Brunhild and His Holiness Pope Ramisch would listen to you."
"I wanted to see the scenic and famous land of Horn with these eyes. I thank His Majesty King Ferzen for making this impossible."
"I see. My country has little interaction with anything other than the Kingdom of Ferzen...... I don't think that's a good idea... I hope you'll be a witness to our discussion this time."
Tokai Hou answers with a bitter laugh. Hmm. Is this man a Founding Father? Maybe we, the representatives of the country, expect our assertions to be backed up when they're right.
Eventually we were led to a place like the conference room by the Tokai Marquis.
A luxurious room with gold all over the walls and columns. Big dragons carved all over the ceiling, how flashy. I can't imagine it from the plain nature of the building. For now we sat on the north side of the desk lined up in the form of a "b", with a few Ferzen soldiers of guard and the Holy Knight of Ramish lined up behind us.
The Hou of Tokai left the room saying that he would call representatives of both factions. Afterwards, I look around the room and find the great power I've been feeling.
"Hmmm......"
"Winter Night Hall? What's wrong with you?
Yae noticed my gaze and called out.
"The eyes of a dragon carved into that ceiling. And a treasure ball gripped to the left and right. Probably some kind of magic trick."
"Huh?"
"Well, it's not like doing harm. Probably something like [silence] that prevents the sound from leaking outside, and the junction that inhibits the magic of the metastatic system, and the deployment of simple defensive walls..."
I mean, the sound in this room doesn't leak outside, the magic of the metastatic system is suppressed, and if you try to do harm to people, defensive magic is activated. I don't know how much it is. Are you saying that the safety measures are quite adequate?
Eventually the two doors, left and right from where we were sitting, opened at the same time as they had been timed, and people from both factions appeared.
Neither one of us is currently on the throne, so we remain seated. Yae and Sakura stood and bowed their heads gently.
Keep saying hello to each other.
On our left, led by Chancellor Shubain Adante, the earlier Tokai Marquis, Torren Hanoi, and Nanquan Marquis, Navaite Chermin.
Chancellor Shubain is seventy years old, with an old man but unafraid light in his eyes. White beards tend to the mouth, and deep wrinkles and eagle noses appear to indicate the strength of their will. You look like the type who can't get through a joke or something.
Conversely, Nanquan Hou Navaite was a metabolic person in middle-aged shape after thirty. It seems mild, but I've been wiping my face sweat with a handkerchief since I was nervous. You seem like a weak person.
Meanwhile, on the right hand side, Hawks Manius, Horseman of Kitayama, headed by Ganossa Da Horn, the king's brother, and Horseman Nishimori, Sailia Suir.
Wang brother Ganossa is definitely forty years old. He has quite a sturdy, workout body. The black moustache and hair still seemed to retain a stiff youth. The eyesight is sharp, definitely a man of martial arts over sentence.
The Horse Hawks of the North Mountain sitting next to him is an old man after sixty years. He's a grandfather with a floating atmosphere and nothing to grasp. You look like our old man Uchido. Is it a daylight type?
The last one, Hou Ceilia Nishimori. A red dot in the marquis, with chestnut hair.
Did I just say I was in my early twenties? You're young. But the fortitude doesn't seem like a glimmer. I have an image of a stubborn man who is only a first impression, but not accommodating. I'm beautiful, but I don't want to be too close to you, I guess.
Others side by side with escort soldiers behind each.
Chancellor Schbain.
Tokai Hou Torren.
Nanquan Hou Navaite.
Wang brother Ganossa.
Hou Hawks, North Mountain.
Hou Ceilia Nishimori.
A meeting began to discuss the fate of the Kingdom of Horn.
"My brother had denied how Prince Kamla thought. That idea could break the backbone of the Kingdom of Horn. That's why he stripped me of his right to inherit the throne and promised to give it to me."
"But there is no evidence that such a promise was made. I wonder if the throne should be inherited by Prince Quo, Prince Kamra's first son, if he is to obey the law, regardless of the fact that he has been stripped of his right to inherit the throne."
"The Chancellor says I'm lying?
"I didn't say that. The king was very sick of his obsession with the prince. That's the only time I've lost my mind… I think that's what happened."
Chancellor Schbain and Wang's brother Ganossa. We don't pull a single step from each other, we stay in parallel.
As the Chancellor put it, wouldn't it be strange if I said I was drunk or after arguing with a deceased prince...
I told you about it even though I didn't want to... that's possible. The problem is that Brother Wang has believed it.
"I'd like to confirm one thing, Prime Minister. Is it true that on the day my brother died, there was a dispute between the Chancellor and my brother?
".................. Yep. Truth is, is that it?
"According to the story of the castle man, he was paid because his brother told an important story. Why don't you tell me what the story was about?
Chancellor Shubain slowly opens his mouth, taking the gaze of his staring king brother Ganossa.
"... until he stated the will of the deceased Prince Kamla. I said that we should still open new gates so that the horn is not left behind by the world. But the king hath not accepted, and hath disputed..."
"Is it true? Didn't your brother tell you then that he would give me the throne? There are a few doubts about my brother's death. Don't you have any idea, Chancellor?
"... I don't know what to do"
Hmm? No way the prime minister killed the king or something?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Just because you want to open a country, you're gonna kill the king, aren't you?
Oh, can you set this country free as a regent without a king? You've got enough motive.
Keep the two staring at each other and remain silent. To tell the truth about me, they're both suspicious.
Well, I brought under the Pope for times like this.
Few know the 'true and false demonic eye' that discerns the lies under the Pope. The Horn kingdom, which was mostly clandestine, is even worse.
I spoke softly under the Pope sitting next to me.
"What do you say? Now you know which one of us is lying?
"That's..."
Under the Pope, who looks troubled and twists his neck.
"I don't think either of you are lying......"
"What? Duh, what do you mean?
"I'm not responding to you lying. You're both telling the truth, or you're assuming so... or you have something to jump my demon eye..."
I've never seen a magic prop that can jump a demon eye before, but if a demon eye is a form of unattributed magic, that's not an unlikely story either.
But I don't feel like I have that...
"The Chancellor is the grandfather of Prince Quo. If it's Regent. Ah, I can wave that spicy arm more than ever. But with Lady Ganossa, that's not easy either. That's exactly what I call a tankob above my eyes."
"What are you trying to say, Hou Kitayama?
As the grandfather of the floating Horse of Kitayama opened his mouth, the opposite Horse of the Tokai glanced sharply at him.
"No. On the way to the Imperial Castle, the wheel of Master Ganossa's carriage came off, and he was almost seriously injured. Well, maybe it wasn't weird to die if I made a mistake."
"What is it?
Surprising voices leak on the Chancellor's side.
"At first, I thought it was an accident coming from aging, but it was strange. Prince Kamla also died in a carriage accident... do you have any idea, Chancellor?
"There is no way. suffer understanding of what to ask such a thing by"
"Do you..."
I'm laughing, but the eyes of Hou's grandfather in Kitayama won't leave the Chancellor. Is it just an accident that the wheel went off? Or......
He turns his gaze under the Pope again, but he still shakes his head small to the side.
I don't think the Chancellor has any reason to kill Prince Kamla. It's my daughter's husband.
"... let's take a break"
In the words of King Ferzen, the men of both factions withdrew from the door that came out.
I sit deep in my chair and exhale heavily. [M] Gizzy air is tough. We're staring at each other all the time.
A horn maid (maybe not a maid because she was wearing an ethnic costume) drinks the tea she served. Delicious. Similar to Eachen's tea but slightly different. Cherry blossoms pinch things like accompanying cookies.
"Delicious. Want some, King?
"Which one? Oh, it's delicious."
"Yeah. I want to make it a souvenir for everyone"
Cherry blossoms smile. Looks like a pack of sober to relieve the strained air. Soothing......
Arm up and turn your gaze to this one where the roaring kingdom of Ferzen was soothing.
"How did the Duke see the meeting earlier?
"Oh, my God. They both seem to be telling the truth, and they both seem suspicious."
"Hmm...... I don't think that's a good idea."
"I'm sorry. I can't help you..."
"Oh, no, not because of Pope..."
King Ferzen rushes to fix his words under the Pope who dropped his shoulders. When I laughed unexpectedly at that appearance,
"KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!
I could hear a woman screaming like a silk ripper. This room is soundproofed magic, but just because you can't hear it from the inside out, the outside voice is normally heard.
It was the Chancellor's side door that spoke. I immediately opened the door and jumped out into the hallway.
Behind the hallway is a crowd. There was a woman shuddering and kneeling in front of an open door. Earlier screams seem to be the voice of this man.
Jumping into the room that was open, one man was lying down and falling. It's the blood I threw up on the carpet. Who is the man who left the whole place, Nanquan Hou Nabyte Chelmin the person...
