Kuro no Senki (LN)

Far from Teito, the boxcarriage goes down the street.

More than one hundred cavalry will serve as escorts for the boxcarriage, and the total number will reach one hundred and fifty if the advance party is included.

Dressed in silver armor, a testament to the Kingsguard knight, they are excellent knights, and you can say that the safety of the journey is guaranteed in half.

Still, I can't wipe out my anxiety because they are not my own men, but those of Count Rio Cairon.

"What's wrong with such Buddha tops?

'Cause I saw your face.

Tilia glared at Count Rio Cairon, who would sit face to face.

"Really? I thought I was mourning the misfortune of being paid down to a nobleman like no one else."

"... it's supposed to be transplant therapy"

It should be. Chancellor Alcor has explained that he will be moved from the Imperial City for transplant care.

Of course, I thought there was something behind it, but no way, it was on the oblique side of my expectations that I could be paid down.

"Are you wearing a dress like that? Yeah, yeah, I'm using superior fabric, but I guess I'm only wearing a whore with such a big, open chest dress? If you weren't suspicious, it would be an unsaveable blunt."

"... Huh!

Licking gaze, Tilia held her chest down.

You don't have to do that kind of mane. The dress is highly exposed and you're about to see your chest from the side.

"You're the best pervert in the empire to be taken. So you live under house arrest without going back to Empire City."

"Khuuuuuu!

I can't believe I've been under house arrest at the main tower for over two months and I'm destined to be severely humiliated when I think I finally got out.

"Ha ha! Ouch!"

The devilish laughter stopped abruptly.

The girl sitting next to him gently slapped Count Rio Cairon with a sword pattern.

"What are you doing, Viscount Eryl Sardomerik?

"... lying is not good"

The girl, called Eryl, said without taking her eyes off the book of skin fittings.

Viscount Eryl Sardomerik is the leader of the Knights of the Eleventh Kingsguard.

Compared to the age of fifteen, limbs wrapped in military uniforms are scarce in ups and downs, making her look younger than her real age.

Her hair was pale brown, her eyes blue.

He looks adorable, but his grumpy, narrowed eyes ruin everything.

"... this carriage is destined for Marquis Elakis territory"

"Chrono's place!

Knowing that the destination was Marquis Elakis territory, Tilia relieved herself wholeheartedly.

At least Chrono is not the best pervert in the empire.

"Why would I tell you that?

"... that's why I was chosen as your sponsor"

To this end, Tilia realized the intention of Count Rio Cairon.

Count Rio Cairon is jealous of Tilia, who lives under Chrono.

"Only now can we be proud of ourselves. Chrono has lost his men in the battle against the Holy Argo Kingdom."

"Well, what does that have to do with me"

"Are you serious?

Count Rio Cairon flaunted his shoulders as though to say he could not understand.

"If you had succeeded to the throne, there wouldn't have been a war, and Chrono wouldn't have had to let his men die, would there? I'm sure he resents you."

"Oh, if you don't betray me!

"If I hadn't betrayed you, someone would have betrayed you."

Tilia couldn't argue.

Even Leonhardt, the embodiment of chivalry, did not reach out for salvation.

That's because I decided that the disadvantages were greater than the advantages of saving Tilia.

"Eryl, you think so too, don't you?

"... not interested. You can do whatever you want."

I wonder what this lack of loyalty is, Tilia even remembered glaring.

Wasn't the Kingsguard Knights an emperor's direct army with a noble spirit?

What the hell was wrong with me?

Tilia leaned over and kept asking herself.

The deafening sound of Khan, Khan, stimulates the tympanic membrane.

At first I wondered what it sounded like, but soon I remembered that Chrono had set up a workshop in the Marquis Mansion to build armaments.

There were other buildings not remembered by Tilia, where humans and subhumans were working together.

No, if you don't remember, the fields on the south side of the city, the buildings outside the walls, the bustle of the commercial district, and the alleys without floaters and strays are different from the Marquis territory in Tilia's memory.

The boxcarriage slowed down slowly and stopped in the garden of the Marquis Mansion.

Then Eryl closed the book she was reading and shoved it into a bag so thin and dirty that it didn't seem like noble possessions, and opened the door to the boxcarriage.

Cold winds blow in and goosebumps develop.

"... it's cold"

"I'm wearing a dress like that."

Tilia glanced at Count Rio Cairon, but he didn't break his abusive grin.

This man is having fun.

I enjoy trampling on pride, denigrating Tilia.

"You don't like me?

"I hate women who come to Chrono."

"I didn't say anything."

Hmm, and Count Rio Cairon laughed Tilia's objections with his nose.

"Was it because of your mind that you seemed to be seducing Chrono at the ball?

……

The doors of the Marquis Mansion open and the expression of Count Rio Cairon changes.

to that of a maiden in love from the grin of a ruthless, jealous hobbyist.

"Chrono!

"Good day, Rio"

Count Rio Cairon hugged Chrono and gave him an enthusiastic mouthful to show off to Tilia.

Chrono was weaving his cape over clothes similar to military uniforms.

Both are black in color and the cape is torn hem as it seems to contain the year.

Neck decoration. Curved conical. That would be animal fangs or something.

Unexpectedly Chrono and his eyes met, and Tilia was pressured.

Because the atmosphere surrounding Chrono was so different from when we broke up last year.

Chrono has grown so much that he hasn't grown one.

Yeah, I'm only worth enough to be paid down to the new nobility right now.

"... Tilia"

Chrono called his name, and Tilia remembered an unnameable fear.

"Tilia, aren't you cold?

"If that's what you think, lend me your cape!

After all, Chrono is Chrono, Tilia took her cape from Chrono.

Chrono is especially around the chest.

"I wish I didn't wear a dress like that"

"You think I like this dress and wear it?

When Tilia inquired, Chrono missed his gaze.

I'm not completely out of line, and I find it hard to forgive you for looking at my chest all the time.

"Empress Tilia likes to wear it."

"... Count Rio Cairon, go home"

"Oh, that's the dialogue with the loyal ministers we sent so carefully?

"Well, Rio will be tired with escorts, too, and you should take your time. I'll take care of the accommodation."

"Thank you, Chrono"

Count Rio Cairon rubbed against Chrono to show off again.

"With that said, there's another Kingsguard Knights leader coming. Eryl?"

……

Eryl stares intriguingly at the paper stuck on the wooden board.

"Is that paper?

"I run a paper workshop to create jobs. I'm unloading 16 pieces of paper on a plate with a piece of brass coin."

……

Eryl walked over to Chrono and took the brass coins out of the bag.

"... I want you to sell that paper as much as you can buy with this"

"I can accommodate that, though."

There are about twenty pieces of brass coins in Eryl's little hand.

"Goldie!"

"We've been listening for a long time!

Dwarf, who was traveling to and from the two workshops, ran over to Chrono with a bunch of paper.

"He's Goldie... head of the workshop where he also builds weapons and protective equipment and farm equipment over there, and head of the paper shop."

"Nice to meet you!

"... Regards"

Gordie ran away toward the paper shop as she handed Eryl a bunch of paper.

"... money, I didn't pay"

"Well, I'll keep it."

Kokun nodded, and Eryl handed Chrono the brass coin.

"Chrono, show him to his room."

Tilia ordered Chrono trembling.

It was of the former Marquis Elakis who was led by a human maid named Alyssa... used by Tilia when she was staying in Marquis territory last year... it was a private room.

The furniture in the room is about a covered bed and vanity, closet, desk and chair.

As a lord, it's a luxury to break, but it looks awesome on Tilia.

Staring into the vanity mirror, Tilia left unexpectedly.

It's more of a cloth than a dress.

The cloth extends diagonally from the shoulder, joining and skirting around the underside of the heso, but the slit is too pronounced.

From the side, my legs peel off, and my underwear could be exposed by a mundane cut.

Can she wear a dress like this, Tilia opened her closet with a feather woven on the cape she had taken from Chrono.

"... wah, my clothes?

When he brought it in, Tilia reached for her horrible hand in the white military uniform that was in her closet and held it in the same mood as she had met her living and broken up lover.

"... my clothes"

For some reason, tears overflowed.

I remember when I graduated from cadet school and put my first sleeve through my military uniform.

I knew I was being treated special.

But I was proud.

I was proud from the bottom of my heart that I could be of service to my country.

"Oh, did you change?

"Can you wear that thing forever!

Dinner, Tyria dressed in a white military uniform entered the dining room, said Count Rio Cairon with a provocative grin.

"You're both fine."

……

Chrono has a cramped grin and Eryl is silently carrying the dish to her mouth.

The menu for dinner is soup, roasted chicken with vanilla and bread.

"How was dinner today?

A woman in a maid's clothing with a big open chest without merit... well, what did you say her name was?... speaks to Chrono.

Also, you're going to seduce Chrono to negotiate a wage increase, and Tilia stared at the woman as she carried a thousand chopped pieces of bread into her mouth.

"The queen's dishes are always delicious."

"Oh, yeah?

When Chrono said, the woman called the general gladly let her voice play.

"... delicious"

"You're full of food to make your kid feel better, too. Oh, it's good food and it's worth it."

Arming himself to push his busty chest up, Karakara and the general laughed.

Is that it? and Tilia was bewildered by the unexpected intercession.

I don't know, this... conforming atmosphere.

Tilia continued her meal silently.

Removing the stain of the journey with soap that seemed to have refined the fragrance, Tilia dived into the bed as soon as she dressed for Negrije.

The impact of house arrest life, or, because of the long journey, the sleeper immediately attacked me...... Gabba! and Tilia woke herself up.

"... yes, I am"

I lost my mind because of my stomach, but I was paid down.

Perhaps, or Chrono should definitely come.

Chrono isn't just a half-elf, he's a kedamomorphic man who even hands on that damsel and even hands on Count Rio Cairon, the man at the end of the quote.

They would storm the royal family like cows if they were allowed to like this noble body.

How are you gonna come? You wanna sneak in in the middle of the night? Or... oh, I'm sure, like a kedamono.

It strikes you like a kedamom, ravages you, and grins gloomy after you devour it abundantly.

Terrible man, Tilia scratched herself.

Because it poses as a harmless breeze for humans and animals, and underneath it, it swirls desires like kedamonos.

"But it's not me you'll like!

He's a princess, not to say he fell.

Even the man from different worlds, no, Tilia didn't go to give in because he was a man from different worlds, just like the first emperor.

Pampan and Tilia slapped their cheeks on their drowsiness and waited for that time.

Wait.

I kept waiting.

And then the morning came.

"... Huh?

When I looked at the window as I rubbed my sleepy eyes, the light was slipping through the gap in the curtain.

"... that?

I rubbed my eyes with gossip, but it was morning.

"Oh, that's crazy."

Didn't I get paid down?

Didn't Chrono come to assault you by stripping you of your kedamomo nature?

The sound of knocking on the door sounded as Tilia tilted her neck.

"Excuse me, Master Tilia."

Um, I replied and Tilia headed to the vanity.

Intimate and entering the dining room, Count Rio Cairon was biting his yawn to death.

"Oh, are you sleepless?

"You're the one"

"I couldn't sleep because of the out-of-season mosquitoes."

"Well, some mosquitoes were odd enough to suck your blood."

Returning with dislike, Count Rio Cairon turned his pitiful gaze to Tilia.

"Hey, what, those eyes!

"Well, if you don't know, I don't mind."

Count Rio Cairon stroked to show off the seeping marks of blood on his neck muscle.

"What happened to Chrono?

"Aren't you asleep yet?

I felt somewhat uncomfortable, but Tilia thumped her tongue at breakfast.

"... Hmm, you're free"

After breakfast, Tilia was strolling around the Marquis Mansion.

You don't have to represent the lord's work as before, you're only expected to be a woman.

At least that's what Tilia thinks.

Chancellor Alcor wondered if he had paid himself down to Chrono to strengthen his relationship with the new nobility.

The successful exploitation of the southern frontier has led to a significant improvement in crop yields and to the stabilization of their prices.

No, should I say that Chancellor Alcor, with his new nobility and his own pipe, can now influence the price of crops?

Most importantly, its influence is only fragile enough to be lost if it undermines the mood of the new nobility.

If you have to, you can seal off the streets, cut off salt and other supplies, and intimidate them, but if they sell crops to the Kingdom of Dorado, you can't even look at them.

If I do badly, the Kingdom of Dorado will build a bridgehead to invade the Empire.

Well, in order to do that, I have to do something about the barbarians who use the Aleos Mountains as their root castle.

"... Chrono?

When Tilia entered the office, Chrono was handing a parchment-like object to the half elf.

"Congratulations, Leila"

"Oh, thank you"

The half elf hugged the parchment handed to him and said in a voice that was still going to cry out.

"What are you doing, Chrono?

"It's a deed award. I've been teaching Leila to study since last year, but I don't remember too well to teach anymore. Separation is necessary, and I made a deed that I'm as academic as this."

"You need something like that?

"Authority is important. After you quit the army, your employer will be relieved if you have a deed issued by your lord when you return to work."

Is that what it is? and Tilia thought, but the half elf is holding the deed tight like a treasure.

"Well, as good as the deed story is...... any work?

"Uh-huh, I don't know."

"Right."

Tilia dropped her shoulder without force.

"If you can think of one, please, just take a rest until then."

"... ok"

Leaving the office, Tilia sighed small.

Oh, Chrono is a fine lord, isn't he?

Hehe, how miserable I am.

Even that half elf is growing.

When I went out into the garden of the Marquis Mansion, I heard the sound of a hammer called Khan, Khan, and in between there was a mixture of dry sounds called cutlets, cutlets.

What's that noise? and as Tilia went toward the stables, Faye and a strange boy were meeting with wooden swords.

Oh, and Tilia opened her eyes for the first time to Faye's mentor.

The boy's naive feint, a low attack using his low back, returns as many attacks as the boy can handle.

A boy sticks out a wooden sword in a self-inflicted (damn) mood.

Faye swung it down with a light step.

The boy removed the wooden sword as the dry sound of a catoon sounded and his grip had reached its limit.

The boy immediately tried to pick up the wooden sword, but the wooden sword protruded by Faye held it back.

"It is a battle"

"... Master, give me a little more relief."

"We are doing more than enough. If a single apprentice runs away, it will be difficult."

"Master has a lot to say."

As Faye strained his chest, the boy said in a sigh of relief.

"Hmm, you're quite a mentor."

"Long time no see"

Faye pressed the wooden sword against the boy and knelt on the spot.

"You don't have to. As you know, I... am no longer the first heir to the throne."

"Is that so?

"Master, you can't honestly obey me because I said so myself."

Faye tried to get up, but the boy pointed me out and stopped the move.

……

Are you grinding, Faye sweats a daze compared to Tilia and the boy.

"You really don't have to, do you? Well, I'm glad you're being minimally polite..."

All right, sir.

Wiping the sweat, Faye finally got up.

"... yeah, what, what were you doing after we broke up at the ball?

"I was working in the Marquis."

Master, that doesn't make any sense.

Mmm, and Faye frowned as troubled.

"In the Marquis... guarding the streets, arching the disciples, dining with Lord Elena in the city, and so on"

"Elena?"

"Lord Elena is the accountant for the Marquis Territory and mistress of Master Chrono. You're supposed to be face-to-face at the ball, though?

Chrono bought the slave, or Tilia finally remembered Elena.

"And does Chrono have four mistresses?"

"It's not four, it's six"

"Ro, six!

Unexpectedly, Tilia screamed.

"The hundred captains, Lord Deneb and Lord Aridead, have just become mistresses."

"Oh, that's... ah, ah, what about you?

"We haven't gotten to you yet."

Relieved Tilia stroked her chest down.

"No, wait! Are you gonna be Chrono's mistress?

"We will rebuild the Murifine family by becoming the mistress of Master Krono."

Tilia was dazzled by Faye's story.

"Are you good with that? A man with six mistresses... isn't that too dishonest?

"If the Mulliphanes are going to rebuild, don't worry."

What about that split? and Tilia stared at Faye forgetting the situation she was in.

"Master, I don't think Master Krono will be able to divide the territory if he becomes a mistress because he's the type who doesn't confuse public and private life."

"Is that so?

Faye tilted her neck wonderfully at the boy's words.

"Is it no good?

"It's hopeless."

Faye will be fine, Tilia said after the occasion.

After dinner, Tilia waited in bed for Chrono.

Wait.

I kept waiting.

And I knew it was morning.

"Oh, come on, this is crazy, this isn't supposed to happen."

Because I haven't slept in two days, Lu Rhythm doesn't turn well.

Chrono is the kind of man who cuts off half an elf, brings more than a dozen distant generals into bed, buys sex slaves, surrounds two more mistresses, and even hands on the man, Count Rio Cairon.

He's a man of integrity, self-control, guilt, like a beast who lacks the spirituality he has to be prepared for as a person.

"Wow, I, am I unattractive?

No, that can't be right.

Because Chrono had a licking gaze on Tilia's chest at the ball.

Before Alyssa arrived, Tilia changed into military uniforms and headed to the dining room.

"Oh, my eyes are bright red."

"I couldn't sleep because my pillow was stiff."

When Tilia got to her seat with a flashing look, Alyssa brought the dish.

"Is Alyssa in charge of cooking today?

"The general… has a very important job and is closed until this afternoon"

Right, and Tilia carried the soup to her mouth.

Count Rio Cairon watches Tilia with pity......,

"Oh, yeah, you mean that!

Tilia slammed the table and rose to momentum.

"Ri, Count Rio Cairon! You were with Chrono last night!

"Have you finally noticed?

There can't be mosquitoes this season.

I mean, this guy was encouraging enough to fall asleep with Chrono.

"Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. And the general."

"You can't crawl out of bed by now, can you?

Well, for God's sake, Tilia was going to fall in on the spot.

A bloody sense of defeat...... I lost not only to Count Rio Cairon, a man, but also to an older general nearly ten years old.

No, wasn't there a problem with the attitude of waiting?

The figure of my mother, who is inadvertently in the castle of Justia, passed behind my brain.

Instead of waiting as my mother did, I should be actively challenged.

This is not a battle to defend, it is a battle to attack.

Tilia brutally wiped tears with the sleeves of her military uniform and poured bread and soup into her stomach at once.

"... if you don't fight, for me to be me!

"By now, you don't have to reach that frontier"

Count Rio Cairon said as if he had been stunned, but Tilia ignored.

The next day, Tilia stood in the garden of the Marquis Mansion to drop off Count Rio Cairon.

I really didn't want to drop you off, but if Chrono's going to say he's going to drop you off, I can't help it.

"Well, I'm going back to the capital."

"Be careful."

"... just go home"

As Tilia said, Count Rio Cairon shrugged his shoulders and boarded the boxcarriage.

"Be careful not to get thrown away because you're too uptight."

"Hmm, you're the one"

"I'm tired of eating all kinds of fine dishes."

Nooo, Tilia roared.

"Go home already!

"Ha ha! Fine, singing a short spring, but good!

The door closed and the boxcarriage began to move slowly.

Come on, do you have any... stones?

Tilia looked around and Eryl was waving at the boxcarriage.

"Why are you here?

"I am Count Rio Cairon's patron, as well as Princess Tilia's watchdog."

Eryl looked up at Tilia and muttered emotionally.

"... Regards"

What about the watchman revealing himself as a watchman? and Tilia tilted her neck.

Despite the substantial supreme power of the Kepheus Empire, Chancellor Alcor's office is small and extremely clerical.

Whether it was an appeal or a hobby of his own, Farna stared at Chancellor Alcor heading to her desk, lost in judgment.

"If you're a nobleman with abnegation and excellent self-control, shouldn't you have left it to Master Leonhardt?

"It would be preferable for the House of the Duke of Palatium to have power"

Chancellor Alcor finished writing his autograph, leaning against his back and rubbing his lid.

"But did I say Chrono? He would have killed my child if Count El Nato hadn't stopped him, maybe."

That's all my son did, and Farna sighed.

I can't shelter my son because he caused far more damage than I expected by making a mistake in post-processing to the citation of how many fruit sons he desiccated.

"... According to Count Piske, Baron Crawford's son seems to take care of his men. He killed his men and stood still, so I guess that makes sense. And the new nobleman... Lord Claude told me he hated me."

The Empire hasn't paid off any of the new nobles since the turmoil thirty years ago, so I guess it made sense to stay in the mood.

"Is it possible that Empress Tilia will have a rebellion?

"As far as I can tell, Empress Tilia is just a mediocre woman captured by immediate greed. I don't want to start a revolt with the man I like."

Farna felt distorted by Chancellor Alcor's view of women, but some parts were convinced.

Most of all, I don't have the experience of being tied to the man I love, so I get mixed speculation.

"... what do you think?

Farna's whining didn't reach anyone.
