Life with my Little Sister

Sky garden.

It is a garden built on a vast balcony in the upper part of the castle.

It was said to be one of the most prestigious sites in the Moon Rain kingdom due to its stunning borrowing scenery overlooking the lower boundaries and numerous colorful flowers gathered from around the world.

However, since it is a place built for royalty, it is not open to the public.

Rumors and bragging from some high-ranking nobles.

And by the poetry that the bard talked about, the population was scorched.

Of course, because gossip and poetry are the main thing, there are parts that are said to be quite a lot, such as "the highest garden in the world", "the garden with the most rare plants", etc. Praise words would have been far from the "floating garden" owned by the Archie Elf, who bears the name of "Doom."

Moreover, since the existence of the elf's ancestral garden is hidden in the world, it was inevitable that the Royal Castle Sky Garden could be considered the peak of the garden.

On that day, one of the royals came to this garden.

His name is Claudia Holly Metel El Fraswerk.

He is the Third Princess of the Kingdom of Moon Rain.

Claudia, who preferred quiet, liked seeing plants from the beginning.

However, I haven't visited this garden much in recent years. Because I was afraid to meet other people.

But that day is the day when a boy who is an acquaintance comes.

So, to an old magician who was familiar with it,

"Why don't you give him something as a present?

That's what I was advised, and I noticed.

'The boy' was kind to her.

No, you shouldn't be prejudiced.

Neither despise it as "inferior existence," nor look at it as mercy.

Very ordinary - a warm smile that was pointed at me before "The Ritual of the Treasure Sword".

That's it.

Not only him, but the Craneputs are bright everywhere.

It seemed precious to Claudia, as if it were a light shining in the dark.

(Thank goodness your father forgave me for picking shader flowers.....)

Not all flowers in the garden are precious. Though rare, things that look good are naturally grown.

The shedding flower that she was allowed to pick from her father's king was one such thing.

It is a calm flower with a definite "beauty", but not gorgeous.

However, what matters is not just appearance, but 'flower words'.

--Thank you.

That's what makes me a friend.

That you gave me a warmth.

Being treated as a "person".

All of them made Claudia happy.

That's why it's a 'thank you' shader flower.

(Actually, the beer flower was good, but the shader flower is also beautiful, so would you be happy...?

Beeler flowers have the same flower words as shedder flowers.

But because you were clearly precious, you did not get permission from the Father King.

The boy should be meeting with the prophet Ehmont by now.

As soon as it's over, I'll see him.

I was thinking of presenting a freshly picked flower in that seat.

Claudia smiles uncommonly and heads towards the garden exit.

--I felt a sign there.

In these times, she hides away.

It was late to think that meeting others was the same as being despised.

Claudia lurked in the shadow of a tall plant.

I was at the entrance.

Oh, it's not Sheila.

"Ah, this is Stephanie Onee-sama. It's been a long time."

Two names: Second Princess Stephanie of Moon Rain and Fourth Princess Sheila.

Claudia breathed more and more.

"Have I seen Sheila since your birthday party?

"Yes, that's for sure. I've heard that onee-sama is busy."

"Well, even if you say you're busy, you're not as busy. I'm just there."

The second princess laughs ironically.

Stephanie is now twelve.

It has already been decided to marry a neighboring country, and preparations for this have been increasing recently.

When he reaches the age of majority of fifteen, he should soon get married.

In preparation for "migration," I study clothing, life, customs, and other things over there, and I also learn what I need to do together.

That was Stephanie's day.

The question is when to go there, before or at the time of marriage, and the adjustment continues.

"Just being there" was the irony that it was a place for discussion and a person who did not have a say.

Sheila smiles deeply at her sister's words.

It is the same for her that her daughter-in-law is not free.

However, because Sheila is a talented person who is said to be one genius in a hundred years, and a princess with "high value" who is also desired from various foreign countries, it is said that it will be difficult to decide who to marry for a while.

Stephanie tells such a sister.

"I might have been able to marry a domestic aristocrat if I had been engaged a little later."

"... did onee-sama have anyone to admire?

"Yeah, she's not here. I just want to be in a country I'm used to. It would be more convenient this way. And recently, the elf chambers of commerce are going to sell one after the other, right? My daughter-in-law also has a Shorcina Chamber of Commerce, but it is the capital of this country where the" new work "is sold. It's definitely more fun to be here. My shoulders don't get narrower."

Sheila smiled bitterly at her sister, who had always prioritized "My Things".

Stephanie's roots are good, but sometimes she talks too much about what she thinks and causes extra trouble.

There is no one left, but what I am saying may also be taken to mean something to my daughter-in-law in some cases.

Since the reign of the current king, Moon Rain and other countries have attached increasing importance to 'interacting with other countries'.

Of course, "exchange" in this case is not the exchange of artifacts, but marital policy.

Why is that?

That is nothing more than more wars.

In response to the scourge of war, there are more and more moves to counter it in the "Alliance of Blood".

So, what did Stephanie say, "If only we were a little late"? Actually, this is also a consequence of the war.

The kingdom of Kempton is the kingdom Stephanie intends to marry.

Located north of Moon Rain and adjacent to its Kempton neighbor, there is a country named the Empire.

In the middle of his magical career, a country united the human sphere and since then he has become Empire.

Since then, the Empire was almost the only country in the world until it was destroyed by the Sigil King, who brought about the third great collapse of the world.

The Empire, adjacent to the Kingdom of Kempton, has chosen its successor.

In other words, the countries of the continent should descend into our country equally.

This "Empire" is similar to that of the Third Princess Claudia.

There is no doubt that the leaders of the country named "Empire" were directly related to the rulers of the Magic History Period.

But Claudia, the king's daughter, did not have the right to inherit the throne, and the ruler of the present Empire lacked the "proof of succession".

Nobody will obey this.

In the first place, countries are already independent.

Even if you show empire, there is no point in lowering your head.

That's why it's a fight.

When Stephanie decided to enter the Kingdom of Kempton, the Empire showed the momentum of sunrise.

Moon Rain and Kempton are in trouble.

Try to work together.

The engagement was decided because of that background.

However, the rapid advance of the Empire fell into a stepping stone shortly after the engagement.

And he defeated westward to the desire of the sea.

The kingdom of Newminster stood in the way.

The army of the First Prince, who is not the Crown Prince, was defeated before a magician with the name of the "forbidden realm", commonly known as the "arm of Mitridades".

The Imperial Army put in 60% of all troops and lost less than 40% of them.

Meanwhile, the neighboring countries of the Empire joined forces with the enemy immediately after the defeat.

Not only the army of my country, but also mercenaries were to be hired, but the knight of the Empire, who was entrusted with leaving a message, the one who wrapped the shadow of death, was defeated in front of the forbidden realm of the Reaper, and was retreating with a better retreat.

It was also at this time that Ronim, the mercenary bastard who slaughtered the guards in Cyril last year and then lost to Mejed God, was defeated.

It is believed that Newminster accurately observed the advance of the Empire, but on the contrary, the Empire was able to predict the advance of the Allied forces because of the presence of "star reading" in both countries.

As a result, the value of "star reading" has increased even more in various countries.

Since this war, both the Empire and the surrounding countries have invested in internal affairs to heal the defects of the battle and have remained in a state of moderate well-being.

This is the story of October 1204, the sacred year, and based on Alto Cranput's life, it was the time to save Enineve's life in the Great Ice Plains, fight lizards and rhuneloops, and nurse the notorious Snowflake.

As mentioned above, now that the Empire has grown up, it was whispered that Moon Rain might have a country or house that should take precedence over Kempton as a place to marry a few princesses.

In fact, Stephanie's daughter-in-law would have been "another" if it had been after the battle of October 1204.

But I can't do anything that wasn't there anymore.

If nothing happens, she will marry the kingdom of Kempton.

"That's why I'm here to pick up the flowers that I'll give you," Future Milord. "--My job is just to pick. I'll just send it to you with a letter. I flew a fast horse and might be dead by the time it arrives. The flowers are pathetic."

But onee-sama, isn't that necessary?

"Yes, I do. That's why I didn't bring my legs to a garden that I don't normally come to. - So, Sheila. Why are you here?

In her sister's words, Sheila dyed her cheeks.

This is the first time Stephanie has seen a "genius sister" like this, she blinks her eyes unexpectedly and waits for the next word.

The Fourth Princess says.

"Today, someone is coming to the royal castle to look after me."

"Hmm? Did you invite a guest?

"No, I'm sure she's here for Claudia's apprenticeship exam."

It was the third princess in hiding who was upset by the words.

There was a smile of a boy with a tight atmosphere in her head.

He must have come for Claudia.

(But not like this....!

"He" is taken away by a "sister" of the same age who is all better than himself. I thought so.

Sheila says.

"I wanted to give him flowers. Your father gave me permission to pick beer flowers....."

――

It's the name of the flower Claudia was not allowed to pick.

In front of the Third Princess, it became dark.
