□ Wangdu Althea King's Office

On that day, Ultimia, the first princess of the Kingdom of Alter, had performed many duties as acting king.

After Hanya's incident there was also the matter of a reconciliation meeting with the Empire, so he was immediately returning to the King's Capital. I am now clearing up various projects for the harmony conference.

"The increase in [second model] production at Calcheratan is going well, and we're almost ready to deploy to the Kingsguard Knights and the Wang Capital Knights. The example thing is... it still seems difficult to navigate. The next report is…?

After reading the report from the Countess of Calcellatan, Ultimia tilted her neck at its contents by reaching for the next document.

There it says, '[King of Fire, King of Blades] Master Fuel Rasburn, Unknown Message'.

That was the report on the directive that Ultimia was putting out at a time when she was trying to rely on a powerful tian rather than asking < master > for cooperation.

There were a few superior tians who lived independently of the kingdom's organization although they lived within the kingdom, and Ultimia was sending messengers to solicit them.

However, the result was not fragrant because many people were separated and hiding. Some had already died of natural causes, and others had ceded their super positions to leading masters.

And the last one who hadn't received a report yet was [Flaming King] Fuel Rasburn.

He was once strong enough to compete in arms with [the Great Sage], a figure that had become a public rumor that he was still training deep in the mountains...

"Unknown, that's also a sign of battle...?

According to the report, the messenger went to a deep mountain place where Master Raspburn lived.

However, the anus was all cooked, and most of the trees around the anus were carbide. It's as if Master Rasburn, the magical landlord of fire attributes, fought against someone... its battlefield trail.

But there is no Raspburn Master at the scene, and if he loses, there is no body of him.

It is also stated in the report that the battle itself was carried out well before… at least six months ago, due to the growing of new weeds around the whole baked restaurant.

…………

Ultimia is surprised by the content of the report.

It was incredible that there was a fight, but no bodies left.

It is also possible that the Raspburn Master, who was old if not in battle, understood the time of death and burned himself to pieces.

But that's not what Ultimia's intuition said.

Master Raspburn fought someone and wondered if he had been defeated.

And either way, life or death disappeared.

Besides, that hadn't been exposed in over six months.

Ultimia felt the kind of frizzy discomfort and crisis the snake was wrapping around her own feet without her knowing.

"... even though I don't think there's ever been an imperial plot,"

In any case, Ultimia thought that there were more matters to watch out for.

◇

Ultimia continued her work afterwards, first cleaning up all the paperwork that required her confirmation and settlement.

The last document was a report on the request for escort for the Conference.

"I also made a request to < Master > in preparation for the pageant meeting, but the participation was good,"

As for Ultimia, I was not in the mood to think, 'If only you had gathered this much during the war once upon a time...' but concluded, 'I'm sure you would have gathered if you had done the same then'.

In the end, many of the reasons for the non-participation of the last Master are on the Kingdom side.

But that's why she doesn't fall for it.

"Why is your father so stubborn..."

Eldor, the previous king, with his own creed, considered < master > a special being and made a decision not to be an instrument of war.

Azrite heard it in her own ear, and she understood it.

But 'why did you have such a creed in the first place' was unknown to Ultimia.

I was also thinking that if I executed Eldor's work as a king's deputy, I would see it, but now I don't know.

Instead, direct contact with the Rays, the masters, had also led them to believe that cooperation with them was essential.

People and... contact with Ray changed Ultimia's mind.

"... your father too?

Or maybe the fact that Eldor, the previous king, also dealt with someone, led him to have that idea.

But even if so, Azrite didn't know who was the one who whispered such an idea in the face of Eldor.

"You too, let's do a little research.... Oh, it's such a good time."

The time is already dusk and it will be dinner time soon.

Today Ultimia planned to have dinner with Elizabeth and Theresia as well.

Reconciliation with Elizabeth last week, and since Elizabeth's return to this king's capital, there have also been more sisters for dinner.

Or maybe that's to make memories with Elizabeth, who will be going to her daughter-in-law not far away to the Yellow River.

Elizabeth and Tsanron, the third prince of the Yellow River, are scheduled to travel to the Yellow River the day after the harmony conference.

That's the critical limit. Even if the conference breaks down, there will be only a few moments left to activate the War Conclave.

That grace period was the last time Elizabeth and the others left the country before the war.

Also, if Ultimia is assassinated in a meeting, Elizabeth will be the first heir to the throne of the kingdom.

When that happens, the shape of the fringe with the Yellow River will also change.

…………

It all depends on the outcome of the reconciliation conference in two weeks' time.

Ultimia was thinking about doing what she could while also giving thought to the possibility of her dying.

"Your Highness. Are you in the room?

Unexpectedly, the office door was knocked.

It was the Marquis of Findle, also the belly of Ultimia, who knocked.

"Yeah, I'll allow you in."

"Excuse me, sir."

That's how the Marquis of Findle entered the office, carrying a single letter in his hand.

"What's that?

"It is in a letter delivered to His Highness. The sender is Lord Integra."

Ultimia was surprised by the name and opened her eyes slightly.

Integra. Integra Sedona Clarice.

He is one of [the Great Sage] 's brothers in prison who died in the war ahead...... he is the only survivor.

She was the youngest of her brothers in prison, but was recognized for her talents by [the Great Sage] and taught many things in person.

The talent, he said, had undoubtedly plucked out of many of his brothers in prison.

And starting two years ago, I was on a journey around seven countries as the final challenge from [The Great Sage].

For this reason, he did not participate in the battle against [Tripolar Dragon Gloria], where his brother was exterminated, nor in the war in which [the Great Sage] died.

But I don't have the means to get in touch with her around the world, and I've never been certain of life or death... but now this is how a letter from her arrived at Ultimia.

…………

After a few thoughts, Ultimia received a letter from the Marquis of Findle.

Integra for Ultimia is one of the few friends and best friends as is Liliana and Claudia.

But the situation in the kingdom has changed dramatically over the past two years, and her brothers and mentors, the [Great Sage], have also died.

I wondered what she wrote in her letter about it and was just a little afraid.

But Ultimia made up her mind, cutting the seal of the letter from her, and ascertaining its contents.

"... Huh?

Only Ultimia's unintentional wording was written there.

"This time, Integra Sedona Clarice succeeded her teacher and became [the Great Sage]. After returning to the kingdom, I would like to do the same under His Highness Ultimia Azrite Alter '

□ [Dead Soldier] Ray Sterling

"I wonder what's going on..."

I've been worried since I heard about the Golden Pirates.

Join Senior Feminized Student or explore other ways to get to the critical.

"I wish there was another way... is that hard too"

"Right...... There aren't many clans in the rankings that have handouts."

As a matter of fact, there are a wide range of mercenaries in times of war in the top rankings… some clans are looking for temporary membership members.

This is the clan that ranks second in the clan rankings.

There are not many prominent members, unlike the number one feminized senior in the rankings, or the number three with dueling rankers Cashmere and Wolf Cherry Blossom.

Instead, the number of people is second only to the monthly meeting.

As for the clan's activities, it's a fan club, to put it fundamentally.

Three princesses, starting with Azrite, and Liliana, who, as her brother said it was what time it was, is also extremely popular in the kingdom Tian.

It was the AETL Coalition that brought the four fan clubs together. The clan name is their acronym.

They said, 'Protect them!' Anyone would have been granted temporary accession if it had been in line with the objective.

In the < master > of the kingdom that fought in the last war, it is said to be the largest force and also one of the reasons why the kingdom did not undergo complete collapse.

They had always declared that 'even if there were another war, they would come to the fight with the same purpose'.

And I had the same purpose as them, so to tell the truth, I was seeing them before the Golden Pirates.

But......

"... you said no to the AETL Coalition."

"That's..."

The biggest factor in this is the footage of Gideon's case, which was being relayed by Franklin.

In that battle I fought Liliana (and Sir Lindos) shoulder to shoulder.

After defeating [RSK], the natural enemy, Liliana also intervened.

Apparently that touched their scales.

I spoke directly to the sub-owner of the clan (head of the Liliana fan club), who said, "Shoulder to shoulder with Lord Liliana... well being handled directly and so on is too close!! And that serious look on her face when she's treating you...... Grrrrrrrr!! I'll never let you in! Pep!" he refused.

"A fan club is something you hate to run out of..."

"It depends on the organization."

So they were out.

Well, I guess they're still rational people who just haven't come up with the darkness.

Will you let me in if you still ask me...?

"Or is it impossible to join extra because Azrite and I are close now?

"... there was that too"

"... and I even took a mixed bath."

".................. it, keep it to yourself"

If they find out, this time they may darken.

... It still seems impossible to enter the < AETL Union > for the moment.

"... In the case of Senior Feminized Student, you can't let me in if you want."

Anyway, they were trying to get me to join the clan once, until they kidnapped me.

If I said "let me join" from myself like that, I'd be okay with two replies.

But then there's the problem.

The reason for entering is to participate in the war, that is, to temporarily join the mercenary frame... but I see a good chance that the other side won't do it for me.

You won't let me get away with this and why.

Besides, this one is also broken in real life. I can't get away with it for a second.

But it's out of the question that even this one can't go to war.

If the kingdom and empire are divided at the next harmonious meeting, what awaits is war.

It has too bad an aftertaste that you can't even be on the spot for the murders on which the fate of Azrite, Liliana and many of your friends hang.

"... I knew I had to"

Some say you can't change your belly on your back.

Even if we were to enter the Tiger Hole instead, we would have to join the Moon Sessions.

But what did you tell everyone at the party...

"N? Ka not Ray. What's wrong with that face you came up with so much, Da?

Walking ready like that, I just ran into an acquaintance with a distinctive voice and height.

Needless to say, it is [Corpse Immortal] Xuan Yu.

He had a popcorn from his brother's stall in his hand.

... is something that cleverly pinches popcorn with that prosthetic hand.

"Xun Yu..."

"What's really going on, yo? It's kind of like, 'Take off your clothes, take off your metal, put vinegar on it, mince the salt, it's passing across the door,'" zo. "

… which restaurant has a lot of orders?

But did I look so miserable...

"If anything happens, say it, yo. Ze to consult at the behest of the Dachi?

"Xun Yu..."

Kind of makes me want to rely so badly...... they're elementary school girls though.

"Actually..."

I told him what had just happened and that I was going to ask him to join the Moon Sessions.

Upon hearing that, Xunyu tilted his neck.

"Hey, why are you in the moon?

"Because there are no more handouts in the ranked clans."

"Not so, Na."

Xunyu cut the words there,

"You guys can make a clan, Ro?

I've thrown watery words in my sleeping ears like that.
