Maou No Utsuwa

The Golden Generation. That's what the Princess Claudia's school year is called.

At first, the teachers at the college said, but at some point, it spread to the students and to the parents who heard from them, and now even in the castle, the word became commonplace.

But little by little, Princess Claudia became dissatisfied with what they called it.

Called leaders of the Faction of the College include Hildegand, Deefleet, Oscar, Marie and the Princess Claudia herself.

But I don't think I have enough to be seen in the same line as the other four.

And yet I am ashamed that I am being treated like one of the nuclei of that generation.

And the biggest factor that made Empress Claudia feel that way was the presence of Kamui.

Kamui is the son of a one-sided lord.

In terms of family character, the Imperial Princess Claudia, the royal family, doesn't have to be compared to any of the other four. But I also feel that my presence in the college, as opposed to being in line with the other four, exceeds it.

Now, as strange as any student is, they are not aware of its existence.

Kamui is obviously hiding his strength, hiding behind someone else's back, and behaving like nothing stands out.

Little by little these days, I'm starting to show one of those scales, but that's not going to spread that way outside of different grades, let alone colleges.

For those who do not know the circumstances, the Golden Generation refers only to the descendants of leading families, including the Princess Claudia.

That's what I'm not convinced of, and Princess Claudia feels as if she's being ridiculed.

Empress Claudia's feelings for Kamui are complex.

While I admire Kamui for showing far more discretion than I expected, I regret myself for not reaching it. Kamui lightly outshines herself in every way, even though she intends to work so hard to help her sister.

Kamui, who I have headlined and intend to introduce to my sister, aside from that self, has gathered the trust of my sister all together. I'm jealous at last.

This also has a problem with Kamui's attitude. In fact, Kamui despises Empress Claudia and does not consult with Empress Claudia beforehand when she tells her anything.

For Kamui, the opponent on his side is Empress Sophilia, not Empress Claudia.

Such a Kamui attitude is making the Empress Claudia feel ignorant of herself and dissatisfied with the Empress Claudia who wants to be the best of her sister, Empress Sophilia.

And there is a presence right near the crown princess Claudia who applauds such emotions even more.

"I'm not convinced of anything"

It's Theresa holding her mouth and complaining.

"Theresa, from earlier on, what are you complaining about?

"He's one of Claudia's men, so why are you so close to Hildegand?

"Come on, but I don't care who you get along with. Mr. Kamui's on his own."

"Mr. Kamui, you don't have to call me anything. That's how Claudia behaves, so he rides the diagram. I need to make sure I know where I stand."

"But"

"Anyway, let's not allow him to get any closer to Hildegand than this. Yeah, that's good."

"You can't forbid that."

"You just have to give me a word."

"Even if you say that, does Mr. Kamui listen to you?

If Kamui doesn't listen, the result is that she is the one who shames herself, Princess Claudia thinks.

"If you don't listen to me, you can tell me that you will no longer be in contact with Master Sophilia. Then he'll have to listen."

Now the trouble with being left by Kamui is that the Empress Sophilia, but Theresa had no idea of it.

"What if they say it doesn't matter?

Exactly. The Princess Claudia is not that short-circuited. I somehow know that Kamui is on Princess Sophilia's side because there is a benefit for Kamui there.

"That's when it is. By and large, it is a mistake for the son of the borderline lord to be close to the royal family, Claudia and Sophilia."

"I don't think so."

"No, it's a mistake. Look even if you think about it. It's never good to treat him special. What do you think the other students on my side would think?

"That's right..."

"Buying the misfortune of the central aristocracy will have a great impact on Sophilia's inheritance. Who should take care of it now. That's obvious, right?"

This Therese opinion is correct in some respects and is, in some respects, largely wrong. It is a fact that the students around Princess Claudia are not comfortable with Kamui.

They cannot meet with Princess Sophilia as often as they do with Kamui. It has become a source of great dissatisfaction for them to approach the next emperor, or Empress Sophilia, who should be an empress, and manage to benefit themselves.

But Theresa doesn't realize that it's fundamentally wrong to line up Kamui, who is actually trying to benefit Empress Sophilia with students who are approaching her with that feeling.

Even if you realize it, Theresa, who doesn't have good feelings for Kamui, may say the same thing.

"Hmm. But how am I supposed to cut it out?

And the Empress Claudia hasn't noticed that either. Even though she knows that Kamui is not the only one, Empress Claudia thinks that there are only a few things she can do in an inheritance dispute with Kamui, a student.

That's the same for me, and for the other students, but Princess Claudia, who is party conscious of the inheritance dispute, has considered herself different.

"If it's hard for Claudia to say, I'll say Gatsun. Leave it to me."

"But"

"I'll take care of it"

"Ugh, yeah."

So instead of doing it with Gatsun, Theresa gets hit.

"What did you just say?

The language is polite, but Kamui openly puts the colour of contempt on his face.

"Don't get any closer to Hildegand. You know what she is to us, don't you?

"What kind of existence is it?

"You're set on political opponents. You can't admit to getting along with that political opponent. All right, this is an order!

"I refuse"

"What?!

"Why do I have to take orders like that? I'm not in a position to be ordered by Mr. Theresa."

"I am communicating Lord Claudia's orders!

"Her Royal Highness Princess Claudia's? Is that true?

"Oh, it's true. You know, Claudia knows."

"... Really?"

With these words of Theresa, Kamui will also greatly underestimate Empress Claudia. Apparently, Princess Claudia has no idea what she's done.

The Kamuis have also preached to students in other grades the advantages of being influential in inheritance disputes, and the need for border territories to unite their opinions for this reason.

Some of the students who agreed with it even told their parents about it already. Borderline forces that had not previously existed in the Empire. That's where it's starting to take shape.

"You got it."

"Yeah, I refuse"

"What!

"Even if that is the life of Her Royal Highness Princess Claudia, it is the same thing. I am not in a position to be commanded by Her Royal Highness Princess Claudia."

"You're noble! Claudia is the Empress of the Empire!

"I have not forgotten my admiration for the royal family, but we, the nobles, are only those who serve His Majesty the Emperor that man. If it is His Majesty's life, I do not intend to go against it, but I will not obey the orders of one royal family."

"Are you prepared to say that much?

"I don't remember saying I needed to be ready."

"It is forbidden, then, to worship Sophilia in the future. I won't allow you to climb the castle again."

"That's troublesome"

"I guess."

So I finally got a grin on Theresa's face. Even if he says something great, Kamui is afraid that he will be cut off from contact with the royal family. That's what I thought.

"What would you do if His Majesty called you? No way, Her Royal Highness Princess Claudia forbids you to climb the castle?

A question that Theresa had not imagined at all came out of Kamui's mouth.

"Oh, that's... Then you are not forbidden to climb the castle. But I will not tolerate the worship of Sophilia."

"Is that the order of Master Sophilia?

"It was Lady Claudia who made you meet in the first place, wasn't it?

"I see. Is that so? Okay."

"Did you finally get it?"

"Yes, Your Highness Princess Sophilia will never see you again."

"... what?

Kamui's words are different from the answers he had planned. Theresa has not been able to hide the colour of perplexity.

"That's the order, isn't it?

"... yes"

"As I said earlier, I have no reason to obey anything other than His Majesty's orders, but I am not going to do anything deliberately unwanted. So I will do as I am told. Is that all you have to say?

"Oh, oh."

"Well, now that I'm ready, excuse me."

Saying this, Kamui takes a seat and tries to leave the classroom. Kamui's strength in this is that Theresa, who thought it was a rush, is also seriously in a hurry.

"Whoa, dude!

"Anything yet?

"Are you sure it's good? Even if you can't worship Sophilia."

"Nothing wrong with that."

"It's no use thinking that you can worship Master Sophilia with his life. I'm not gonna take it from you."

"I don't need that, and I'm not going to follow it"

"What?

I said, "I will not obey the life of an Imperial family."

"Hey? What does that mean?

Exactly. Theresa seems to have felt something for these words of Kamui, too. But there's no way Kamui could have been kind enough to tell Theresa that.

"I don't need to teach that anymore. Alto, Lutz, let's go."

"Oh," "Roger that."

Later, we will continue straight to the exit of the classroom without any more gaze on Theresa.

"Kamui!"

It was Serene who stopped that Kamui.

Turns out it's Serene's voice. Kamui looks back.

"... what?

"Three days, no, two days, please."

"Wait, what do we do?

"Please."

"But..."

"For me and Dee, give me some time."

When they say this, Kamui can't do it without her. I exhaled softly and loosened my expression.

"That's what they say......, three dinners"

"Twice."

"Do you want to ketch in here!?

That's Serene.Unlike Theresa, I know how to run with Kamui.

"That's good. Same number of days you're gonna have to wait, right?

"... I get it. Then let's hit our hands with two meals."

"Thanks."

and where Serene feels loose.

"Oh, I'm telling you, it's five servings."

"Why?"

"Otto and deto minutes. You're both short of money. If you don't accept it, this story is none"

"... ok"

Kamui was still a better negotiator.

"Okay. That's otto savings for floating. Bye, Sele. You keep your word, okay?

"Yes."

Beautifully sappy off the grump earlier, Kamui left the classroom looking happy.

The opposite of that is the extreme of grumpiness is Serene.

"No more, it sucks"

"What are you talking about?

"I'm talking about you! What the hell are you thinking!?

"Hey, what, what?

Serene's sword curtain is so awesome that Theresa can only say this much back.

"If you want to know, you're going to tell Sophilia exactly what happened here now. You can tell me what you've done."

"No, that's"

"Just talk to me! Not today! Because Kamui won't wait any longer."

"So what?

"Ask Master Sophilia that, too. I'm going home, too. It's frustrating to see your face."

"What?!

Though it was Theresa who tried to complain back.

"... that's good. Talk to me before it's too late."

"Oh, oh."

Theresa could only honestly nod at Serene's words, which were tougher than usual and turned a serious gaze.

◇ ◇ ◇

"What the hell are you guys thinking!?

Usually a gentle Sophilia Empress, but now that look is trembling with anger. Before that, the two Princesses Claudia and Theresa were frightened and small.

"Say that last dialogue again!

"Celle, keep your word..."

"That's the dialogue I told you about!

"Excuse me! Sure..., I'm not sarcastic to obey the life of one royal family, it's like that"

"Yes, you did say that. Zenlock?"

"Instead of stopping Sophilia from taking his side, you're going to be Prince Therese."

"Become?!" "Huh?

Even Zenlock, who just listened, doesn't know what Princess Claudia and Theresa know.

"Again, that's the thing, isn't it?... That sucks."

"Um, what's going on?

It seems that the Princess Claudia has finally understood the magnitude of the problem as well, and she has asked herself.

"I have always remained a royal family, and that's what Kamui said. That means you won't let me win the Crown Prince fight."

"But Kamui was on my brother's side..."

The Empress Claudia knows nothing about Kamui's influence, even though she appreciates her abilities. He is the descendant of a borderline lord and is only one student yet. The Empress Claudia has this feeling.

"You don't understand anything, do you? Well, I'm sorry, too. If I had explained it properly, this might not have happened."

"What's that?

"Kamui is trying to consolidate the opinion of the border territories. I'm trying to bring together the support of the Border Territory in a crown prince dispute."

"But I don't know what's on the border."

"It'll reflect. If that has one cohesion. Okay? The Crown Prince is the future emperor. What do you think happens when you choose a royal family that doesn't like the border on that crown prince?

"What happens?

"The border beeps at the same time"

"Really?!

"Aside from actually being able to do that, do you think the Empire can ignore you because you're shown that kind of bare hands?

"I can't..."

That's about all I know. Each border area is small, but if it is put together, it is just a force that cannot be ignored.

Just because of the size of the territory, it's a frontier area where we can reach half the Empire.

"Naturally, right? Borderlands are a constant source of headaches for the Empire. That has not been a major problem until now because each of the border areas was moving in pieces. If it comes together, it will be a force that cannot be ignored."

"Mr. Kamui said that?

"Yeah, he's trying to do it. There's a lot going on trying to sum up the opinions on the periphery. I hear it's actually getting a little bit shaped."

"How can you do that? Mr. Kamui is still a student."

"Why did you, the same student, want to go to college in the first place?

"To make allies for the future now."

"I'm just doing that, too. Many Royal College students will soon inherit their territory. Can my parents ignore that opinion? And for the borderlands, the central information we get from the college is invaluable."

"Really?

"That's right. The impact of the central situation on the border is enormous. The information that Kamui-kun brings to those students is such as to influence future central dynamics. That influence can't be ignored by a student."

"That Mr. Kamui."

"Yes. He says it will go with your brother. Together with the frontier territory we've put together."

…………

"Did we find out what we did? You drove your most cherished allies to their enemies!

"What do we do?

"You have to thank Mr. Serene. She made me wait two days."

"Um, wait, I don't even know?

"I asked you to wait for me to move out for your brother. As soon as they decide to do this, I'll move on to action. 'Cause I know I don't have time for this."

"Mr. Kamui is at Hildegand's..."

Empress Claudia, who speaks of this, after all, has not seen things. It is also the responsibility of Princess Sophilia.

"I'm telling you, Kamui and your brother know each other."

"Shh?"

"My brother told me. Because I rarely talk to you, I wonder what you're talking about, and I've come up with the name of Kamui. I was really surprised then."

"What did my brother say?

"You found someone interesting. And if you can't use it, you've been told you can always take it away."

"My brother?

"Yes, that brother did. Your brother, who hates that guy, even told you to talk about it and take it from him? You know how important he is, right?

"Yes......"

"We can't back off anymore. Of course, the Western House is already moving to take in the Imperial Knights. You know that, don't you?

"Yes."

"Still five minutes"

"But the nobles in the center..."

"They'll ride a winning horse. Betting everything doesn't belong to the nobles in the center."

"Really?"

The words of Princess Sophilia are the same as those of Princess Claudia who denied that she had done it. The colour of dissatisfaction appeared on the face of Empress Claudia.

"Bet everything, what you want for this selection of the Crown Prince is actually the Kamui, the people on the border. For them, the future of the Empire is directly linked to their own lives and deaths."

"But if that doesn't win this one,"

"I'll follow your brother."

"Then you don't know when you'll be betrayed."

"There's a time to stick. With the winner already decided, we can't expect to improve the treatment of the border territory even with that side. Get on your side in a situation where you don't know which one will win, and, by doing so, make your side win. For the first time in my life, I have expectations for the future."

"Which is the dominant one now?

"Fortunately, here it is. Because your brother's handles aren't small."

"Still, if Mr. Kamui followed his brother, would his brother prevail?

"I don't know that. But whatever you say, you're a cum. It's possible you're still thinking of something. I don't know what that is."

"Yes..."

"Now, how do I pull it off?

Stop talking to the Crowdia princesses and Princess Sophilia turned back to Zenlock.

"You need conditions again. But can I offer you more terms than I'm promising you right now?

"I don't know. I'll have to ask him myself."

"Well, let's hear it"

Zenlock is not confident in the negotiations. There's nothing else I can do, so I thought I'd have to do it.

"... are you okay?

"Apart from being successful, there's only one person I can talk to. Because of their character, they won't even try to talk to Lady Claudia."

"You tell me to climb the castle, I say no."

"They are better off now. You're not going to act like you're looking for a settlement."

"... you're strong."

"If you turn it to the enemy. If you're on my side. No one's ever felt more comfortable."

"Right. We need to remember that. And the crows."

"Yes, sir"

"Okay, I'll go and come. Honestly, I'm very upset."

"I'm sorry. Push the nasty part"

"No, I'm here for a time like this."

In the end, within that day, Kamui granted the revocation of the words of Empress Claudia.

There are two conditions Kamui has put out.

Commercial permission to Otto and the fact that the Princess Sophilia herself will be its guarantor. And it's about speeding up contact with Deefleet.

For Empress Sophilia, unexpectedly, because it was an easy condition, I could conclude within that day that neither Empress Sophilia nor Zenlock, nor Empress Claudia, were aware of it.

All Kamui really wanted was simply an apology from Empress Claudia or Theresa.

In the end, the groove between Kamui and Crowdia Empress was never buried here either.
