Kyuuketsu Hime wa Barairo no Yume o Miru

Okay, let's just put the clock needle back a little bit.

To counter the Chancellor's faction, Empress Oriana, who had been rejected by Levan as spurious about the necessity of military cooperation with Imperial Crimson of the Crimson Empire, looked up after much reflection. There's a pranky grin there.

"I understand the policies of the Crimson Empire Imperial Crimson. But if you think about it, the person I'm talking to right now is The Alliance Leader of the Free Alliance of Cres. And it was also near the capital of Cress that the 'transfer device' in question existed. I mean, free trade negotiations can be concluded with the recognition of Cres, right?

"... it is, indeed"

Originally on the agenda of the previous meeting with Scarlet Snow (laughter), it was the beginning of the matter that I begged bitterly to "do something about Bimbo", and as a result, it was this "transfer device" that was given to Kress to become the hub or relay of world trade in the future.

Therefore, trade negotiations were also planned only by and for Kress in the name of Kress.

Also for the "Transfer Device" body,

"Whether it's boiled or cooked or forked dancing, you can use it if you like."

And I wouldn't actually complain about what I'd do out of her personality than I'm getting unconditional discretion from Scarlet Snow - also known as a round throw.

"A dramatic increase in logistics speed due to massive transfer magic, no, it's not just logistics, because it will also require information cognition and readiness to make decisions in the private sector, so it will also allow for temporal compression in the production and sales process. So this leads to a significant improvement in the economy on an overall scale.... if it was so woven - well, it would be a calculation - Her Majesty became more and more interested in the fact that she wasn't just a doll."

The Princess of Suzuran strokes the 'Chibi Scarlet Snow' doll as she says it.

Its eyes and mouth laughing but it was as challenging as a gambler who found a good enemy rather than fun.

"... ha"

Levan's just hammering him appropriately because he couldn't understand what she was saying from the middle of nowhere.

"I'm just not convinced that you've suddenly brought your story to Grawior, where there's no national traffic. Would it be beneficial if I told you to go out of my way to potential enemies? I would use it domestically and, at best, between countries in the western part of the country where I have national connections, to inform foreign countries about its effectiveness, and then use it as a negotiating tool… Suddenly, it's convenient to use it on a global scale, whatever you want. There must be no mistake in seeing that there are other thoughts. I don't know what that is, but I think it was used very well."

To conclude so, Oriana put the 'Chibi Scarlet Snow' doll back on Levan's pillow and turned its eyes straight on Levan again.

"So I'm not saying it's a return of interest, but it's a suggestion from me. For the sake of 'emperors', I am in favour of the conclusion of a free trade agreement with the Free Alliance of Cres. For trade purposes only, but I'd like to add a mutual defense text when things happen."

Levan frowned at what had to be calm.

"What do you mean by mutual defense?

"You're right. The Chancellors originally forced a military invasion of Kensruna using Aeon as a back shield, which resulted in success and rocked their place within the Empire. Sooner or later in this momentum, the Emperor and other famous innocents... No, it might be more profitable to let him leave and set up a convenience for himself, or, as he did when he was a father, to hold me as the Emperor and serve as Regent and be thorough with the Black Son.

And unfortunately, I am a woman, so it seems that I have some relatives of my own - some idiot sons, too, so that I may lift up my husband around it and disenfranchise him, and put my birth grandchildren in a new place? Well, it's not hard to imagine being in a very uninteresting situation, either personally or as a country. "

"... well, I don't think you'd like to marry someone you don't even like"

Princess Oriana sends a favorable and aspiring glance at Levan's words as she twists her neck.

"- Oh. You've been a romantic a long time. Are all of you from the Beasts so? I'll put it down without misunderstanding, but personal feelings about royal, royal marriage are not such a big factor, and I'm not saying I don't like it in itself"

"You don't have a problem marrying someone you don't even like?

Levan with a sinister face.

I do hear that political marriage is the predominant thing about the aristocracy and royalty of the human race, but I still don't have very good feelings about marriage without love.

Scarlet Snow also looked disgusted when he said, "It's an anachronistic custom before you treat women as things"...

"Right. I do believe it is a natural desire to seek happiness more than we are human beings. But that's only if we have the state's Antai. It is up to the royal family, the royal family, to meet its expectations, because the people will shelter their own lives and honor us and dedicate their own working blood taxes if they think they will bring future peace and prosperity. Marriage is one of the means of bringing prosperity to the country, so it's betrayal of the people, like prioritizing personal desires."

Again... it was Levan's feeling that she was a very realistic princess. Even though she looks like a sweet princess, the way she thinks is reasonable, yet she has no compromise whatsoever with a clear philosophy. I don't know about expressing this to women - it's a truly split masculine personality.

Her Majesty's pretty close to this princess, too, but there's something sweet about her, and there's a cute, soft gap somewhere, so that's way above her in her feminine charm.... and Levan continued to think that Scarlet Snow (really) would be greatly shocked if he heard it.

"So I'll get back to it, but it's too dangerous to allow the Chancellor to be any more arbitrary. There is a problem where, in his view, the basis of support for reform is the Eon Holy Kingdom. His country publicly proclaims neutrality vis-à-vis other countries, but also ecclesiastical, if based on the common language and calendar we use. It is no exaggeration to say that we are essentially in control of the world. The Chancellor seems to underestimate their impact, but I think working with them is very likely to make mummification"

"I see."

In a form almost swallowed by her power, Levan nodded.

"Once upon a time, the prosperity of the country would be made possible only if we did not have to know and interacted with multi-ethnic people, whether we preferred it or not. In the Prime Minister's view, the reform is about removing the rotten parts of this country - so to speak - but instead of being able to have only a temporary effect in such a violent manner, it seems likely that 'the surgery is successful, but the patient is dead'. What you will need is new blood from the outside and building as much strength as you can withstand surgery. What we need for this is a mutual defence agreement with the Free Allies of Cres."

"I'm not sure around that...?

"If I say so, in an emergency using a transfer device - nominally, as an emergency evacuation measure, such as in a disaster, we find it necessary to send troops and accommodate each other when requested."

The seriousness of the sayings made Levan nearly fall into bed.

"The two countries are not home to the Crimson Empire Imperial Crimson, but to the Free Alliance of Cres and the Gravior Empire...... or between the Emperors, right?

"You can take that for granted."

"… are you going to involve the Freedom Allies (us) in your civil war?

She also has the grace of having her life saved, and although I personally am not vulgar to cooperate, it would be too great if the country were to be one another.

I had an accidental grudge. I look at it with my eyes, but Oriana nodded at Levan's words without changing one complexion. Meanwhile, the sideline samurai was pale in her talk of shaping the country in a way, told in front of her.

"That's what happens if you say it the way you don't have a body or a lid. But I think it would be beneficial for both of you. The first is that free trade can take place on a global scale. Secondly, by cooperating with us, we will diminish the influence of the Aeon Holy Kingdom from the Empire and indirectly reduce military aggression against your country. Thirdly, the improvement of the global status of the Beast Nation.... How about that?

"Sounds like you're trying to reason with me and forge a military alliance. Clearly, it's beyond my authority. I'd like to consult with the Imperial Crimson nation of the Crimson Empire."

To this point, the Empress is in the hands of the political amateur himself.

Having so decided, Levan decided to withhold his response.

In contrast, Oriana puts her hand on her mouth with a slightly playful trick.

"- Oh. Is your majesty narrow enough not to give you that degree of authority?

To the obvious provocation, Levan sighed.

"... when His Majesty asks about the current state of your country and says that I will cooperate, 'Then I will wipe out the Chancellor's sect completely so that it does not rot behind me', you will say farewell and execute it."

Even when asked such horrible and rough things, Oriana returned the words with a flat face.

"That's just troublesome. If it is inherent to disobey the Emperor's will, and to bull and ear politics (every word), then a certain seriousness beyond the subordinate portion. Nevertheless, since it is based on the original and guided by the fate of the country, it does not come as a general plea of not guilty. Also, as I said earlier, the prime minister is involved in all factions in the country. If we cut this off, there will be chaos in the country."

Seeing Sigh Oriana, it's a lot to do when she's also a big country, and Levan, a representative of a big country, sympathizes with Neng Weather at first.

"And we're not actually going to take military action when it comes to mutual defence agreements. It's rude to say this, but civil unrest and all this could lead to a repeat of the Fools of the Kres-Kensruna Federation. I'm only hoping to act as a deterrent, so in the meantime, I'm going to do ground consolidation and a prime minister's chop."

The grinning Oriana is confident, but I have to be skeptical as Levan, who experienced exactly the civil war that bisects that country.

"Will it go so well? It's always been a disadvantage, hasn't it?

"Sure, the situation is tough, but it's not like we don't have a chance at all. I see Chancellor Warren is an excellent intellectual and experienced person, but for this reason, his feelings for others are very rare. You don't understand what you can do is what others can't do. I loathe others because I, others, demand the same without acknowledging the difference with others and it cannot be accomplished. The only people around him are those bound by profit and fear, and there is no love or loyalty there."

Oriana sighed lightly.

"That will be his Achilles tendon. Compared to that, Father, now God is not the only one who has pulled out the instrumentality, but with a probable and well-deserved personality and, more importantly, no hesitation whatsoever in acknowledging the talents of others. In the first place, it is only with the trust of my father that I, my only daughter before adulthood, can speak out to politics (that is, every word). Aren't those points considered to be the qualities of kings? The point is, humans are the way to use them. Because all you have to do is put together a minister who is good at each side."

He turned a slightly challenging grin on Levan, who still seemed concerned.

"- And until now, the emperors have been disadvantaged because I have not been able to speak to the government (every word). But not from now on. I'm not going to lose to you like the Chancellor."

Levan flashly recounts the beauty of white, which he affirms in a naturally spoken tone.

"... somehow I thought you were a princess who didn't poison or drug the princess until now, but it was a hell of a mistake"

Despite very rude remarks from some of the listeners, Oriana smiled as she shrugged for fun.

"Did you know? Suzuran is poisonous grass, right? Especially because flowers and roots are poisonous."

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

There was a roaring noise, from a drain that was more than 5 metres long and horizontal, and Argentina's domestic drainage was flowing into the waterway.

With less odor than I was prepared to say sewage, and a sigh of relief, I asked Shadowloon, who seems to be on guard around me.

"I'm so far from the palace, are you sure you can get out of here?

"Yeah, definitely. There's an aqueduct that leads from a branch along the way to a secondary tube in a palace that we don't use right now, and it's too old to manage in a palace, so I guess there's only a few people who know it."

"How do you know such a place?

Asmina's natural questioning also aptly suggests, "Well, there's a snake path in Nantka".

"- Ma'am, fine. If it was sewage, there wouldn't be a classic unknown creature or something, would there?

I'm afraid I'm going to be normal in this world, like the white reptiles of urban legend.

"It's a good idea. I checked, but the rats have bats."

"... well, is that okay?"

Make eye contact with Asmina with the face that

"Oh... and then there was a huge bunch of oilworms (cockroaches), but it's not really harmful..." Lady! Why are you running away with a dash!? Both of you!!
