"I brought Merze with me."
"Oh, thank you."
A five-color golem-made Aqua 102 came with Merze.
"Oh, you're Merze.The rest is Ernst Lupus von Richte Schauro. "
"This is the first time I've seen you, or I'll call you.Wow, my name is Mertze. "
"Mm-hmm. Nice to meet you, Auntie."
"Auntie, auntie..."
"Being my grandfather's daughter is my father's sister.That's because she's my aunt. "
"Well, I don't know if that's true, but, ah, it's just too much..."
The Emperor Ernst II sighed.
"... being part of the Emperor's family is still a burden to you."
……
"For today, I wanted to see you, and I wanted to apologize for my grandfather rather than my ancestors..."
Ernst II said he felt responsible for the irresponsible way of reaching out to the common people, getting a son, and even not recognizing him officially, simply giving him a piece of evidence.
"... there must have been a lot of trouble.It may be too late to apologize, but you're right. "
Emperor Ernst II lowered his head towards Merze.
"Hee, Your Majesty!? Oh, no!? Ah, ah, your head is lifting up, cumming!"
Melze panicked and drowned.
"Your Majesty, in the middle of it... Merse-sama will also be watched."
"... hmm"
One of the Kintetsu knights, Iisa, finally raised his head.
"It's an unofficial place, and I'm just talking to my aunt.Nothing bad will happen. "
"I don't know if that's true..."
"I don't think you should be ashamed of your mistakes because you can't apologize for them."
In that word, Jen remembered that the Empress once said, "I want to be a monarch who does not hesitate to lower her head when it is time to do so."
Seeing the atmosphere calm down, Emperor Ernst II opened his mouth again.
"Merze, you have a number of choices... One is to live in the Imperial family, in the Miyagi castle, and the other is to become a statue and have territory in the region."
Jin thinks he doesn't like either of them.
And in fact, Merze also looked disgusting.
"The other way to live is to cut off from the emperor's house.... but I can't say it's completely irrelevant. "
"... I'm still..."
"Oh, of course, I won't tell you to come to a conclusion right now.Six months, maybe a year. Think carefully. "
Ah, yes.
It was Merze who had a little taste for unexpected suggestions.
"... but understand that you can't let me live alone like I used to."
Ernst II explained that regardless of Merze's own will, people who want to use it will always come out.
"Yes...."
"So, your identity... could you please leave it with Count Nideau?"
"If that's the case, yes, I'll take care of it."
"Well... I thought I'd leave it to Count Yohia, who first informed me, but it would be more convenient for me to leave it to Count Nideau, who can visit from time to time."
"I'm honored."
Count Nideau's residence is much closer to Miyagi than that of Vicomte Yohia.
And Emperor Ernst II turns back to Merze.
"That's why, Merze, you've been in trouble with the Nido family for a while, and I want you to look and learn about the noble world and the world.Then choose your own path. "
"... yes... thank you"
Hmm.
It was thus officially decided that Merze would live in the Nideau family.
Well...
Ernst II turned to Jen and Elsa.
"Jin, Elsa. In addition to the rescue and treatment of Merze and the retrieval of the Dagger of Evidence, I was very grateful for your help in apprehending the perpetrator. Thank you."
"No, I did what I could."
When Jen said so, Ernst II smiled.
"Well, that's the only way Lord Jin can do it."
……
"I would like to thank Prince Jin and Prince Elsa more personally than from the Empire...Will you take it? "
"Um...."
"Yes, thank you."
Elsa responded instead of Jen, who hesitated for a moment.
"Well, I'm glad. This is the catalogue."
The Kondo Knight standing beside Ernst II presented the catalogue.
Jin receives it and confirms the contents.
"100 kilos of mythrill silver, 10 kilos of adamantite, 10 kilos of gold, 50 kilos of silver..."
"Hmm. I thought you, Magic Engineer Magikraft Jazz, would be more useful with materials."
"You're right, thank you."
"Hmm, this tea is delicious. The sweets are incredible."
"I'm afraid."
Having completed the main business, His Majesty the Emperor enjoyed tea below.
Yokan soup made by Perido 102 on the finest Omega tea from Penglai.
They also use red beans (azuki), agar, and sugar, which are raw materials from Penglai.
As with tea, it has a high content of free magic elements (ether), so the taste is different.
Incidentally, Saki is studying how the "free magic (ether) content" works to increase taste.
"Well then... maybe we should talk about this as well.... please explain. "
"Yes, Your Grace."
Ernst II gave instructions and one of the Knights of the Guard opened his mouth.
"I will interrogate the kidnappers and thieves that Lord Jin captured and briefly report what I have learned."
That was something I really wanted to know as a benefactor.
"First of all, they must all be members of a social ideology group called the 'Fair Party (Ekita)'.It turned out to be based in the southern part of the Kingdom of Cellular. "
South?
"Yes, the exact location has not yet been revealed.... and... "
The explanation from the Kintetsu Knight still continues...
