Maou No Utsuwa

First Celebration

Kamui and Hildegand's wedding is strict on the first day and grand on the second. The venue was chosen because of visitors from outside the country.

For the Republic of Arten Kreutz, it is not a place with very good memories, but by being the venue for the King's wedding, on the contrary, the thought of blowing up those dark memories was decided without so much rubbing.

Now its Nortwagh is visited by many visitors from all over the Artenkreutz Republic who celebrate their marriage.

Invitations such as heads of cities and villages, chiefs of the demonic races, and so on, will be a good number, but other than that, the people have been visiting from all over the Republic in an attempt to see their first celebration in the Republic of Artenkreutz at a glance.

It's harder for the Kamuis to respond to that.

It was at the beginning that I was bickering with each and every one of them in the venue, but the people who line up in that row, while increasing, I don't think it's going to be over for days as it is.

I jumped out of the venue on the way to show my face outside the building, but in the end, a lot of people lined up in front of me wanting to have a word with both of them.

Hildegand is the most troubling part of this.

"King Kamui, what is the white flag hanging under the flag?

Right next to the Kamui line, the flag of the Republic of Artenkreutz is flying. And just below it is a white flag. A lot of people ask me genuinely if it's some demonic habit, but every time Kamui gets stuck in words.

"Ah, that one. That's..."

It's a testament to Her Majesty's maiden.

And several times Lucia answers to refrain as Hildegand's escort instead of the mouth-watering Kamui.

"Maiden's Testimony?

"Simply put, it's your first night's sheet."

"Oh......, I see. So is it a testament to the maiden? Well, I see."

When I hear this answer, in the case of people, I find it more difficult to react when I hear it.

"It's in ancient customs. This is my first celebration in the Republic of Arten Kreutz, so I'm trying to learn as many stories as I can."

"But... Oh, no"

Many know that Hildegand was the queen of the imperial Therese. This reaction is the same as many others.

"Master Therese was surprisingly disciplined and kept his promise when King Kamui was in the Imperial Capital as a student."

"Is that a promise?

"Yes. Master Therese knew the companionship of King Kamui and Master Hildegand. So, as a prince, His Majesty the Emperor decided to marry me, I have to accept, but promise me that one day I will return it."

"... was there such a situation? So stay maiden. No, that's eye-catching."

Even if the words of blessing are hung, as a Hildegand, I feel completely exposed.

"... thank you"

I'll say a word, say a word of thanks, so make the best of it. That's all it seems unfathomable, but when it comes to dyeing your face bright red and mouthing you in embarrassment, it makes them feel like bridesmaids at first sight.

The one who hears leaves the spot with a satisfied smile.

And when they become demons, they become more embarrassed.

Many of the Demons know what it means to be hanged sheets. If you keep an eye on it, the greeting is behind you, spreading the sheets and making sure you see the stains that are left there, then you will come back to state your words of blessing with this satisfying face again.

"Yeah. Good thing."

"Thank you"

"Yeah, yeah, it's a good thing"

Most of them leave with words they don't know what they're convinced of.

Where it continued, it was just a break. What Hildegand pulls into the building says first is naturally about the sheets.

"Hey, why is that happening?

"That's... It seems to be true to learn the story."

"Was there such a custom back in the day?

"Looks like it."

"... I'm so embarrassed"

"Right. But it seems to be important to the Demons."

"Why not?

"I wonder what that means. Originally, they were the way God wanted marriage to be. That we keep each other pure until we get married. It seems its remnants that royalty and royalty seek purity from their wives."

"I know that's a good thing. But"

Hildegand's words, which he continued to try not to expose his first night's sheets, are blocked by Kamui.

"But for the Demons, that's not going to happen. Long life expectancy means we often die."

Demons have a long life span. But naturally, not everyone can live long. And because of the long life span, I don't really care about age. It's natural, such as a 20-year-old man and a 100-year-old woman falling in love.

"... you will"

"But the rest of my life is long. It's hard and difficult for the Demons to keep thinking about one person and live. You will experience romance and marriage with many people in your lifetime."

"That's..., right"

"So I wonder if that's the kind of virginity. You never want that from someone. Take care of that because you can't want it.... Is that an explanation?

"I know how it works."

"I know it's embarrassing, but I wonder if you'll put up with me. I wondered if I could, but when I saw the sheikhs with so many unfathomable faces, they looked so happy."

"Unsympathetic?"

When Hildegand became the demon tribe he knew, it was the masters of the Kamuis. They, I find difficult, but unfathomable, have a far more distant personality.

"If you live longer, that's all the emotional ups and downs become smaller. He's been through a lot, so trivially, he can't move his emotions."

"Really? But Lord Ryan and Lord Silvere."

"It's both extremes. Maintain a youthful spirit forever, with demons like children and demons who are completely old and show no emotional color."

The Ryans are the former. That's why I can play the role of master.

"... ok. I'm embarrassed, but I'll be patient."

"Please."

"It's still going on, right?

"It was a bit of a miscalculation. I didn't expect more than invitees."

"It's our first celebration."

"Right. Until now, I'm just trying my best. There was no celebration. From now on, we need to think about that."

We can finally afford to think about this, Northende and the Republic of Artenkreutz.

"Is it a festival or something?

"Yes, festivals are more than just festivals to God, they're supposed to be for fun."

"I can't believe I have to even think about the festival"

"Oh, but you can leave that to the Devils because they're good at that"

"Really?

"I guess that's the wisdom in a long life, too. I wonder if it's to make my life feel better."

"Yeah. Looking forward to it."

"Um. Enjoying, I'm sorry, but it's time."

Lucia sounded sorry for me.

"Oh, okay"

And in the end, greetings to the people will continue until nightfall.

◇ ◇ ◇

For the Kamuis, the general public was not the only unscheduled visitors. Foreign visitors were mixed with unexpected people.

"I'm sorry. As you can see, King Kamui is unlikely to have time soon."

"No, I don't mind. You haven't even been invited, but this one you pushed is bad."

"But......, you understand very well. I don't remember making any moves that the kingdom would notice?

Alto is responding was Vasily Serov, senior civil servant of the Kingdom of Ruthua. Suddenly, a kingdom messenger appeared. When this becomes the messenger of the celebration of marriage, it cannot be done without. Until Nortwagh, when there was no obstacle, he was to be welcomed in.

"I didn't explore developments in your country. If you do that, this is the one who feels pain."

"So how?

"There are places where you can learn a little bit about trends in your country. This case is the result of an investigation there."

"... is it the Conservative Society"

There are only a few places to send out invitations. If anywhere in it, this is the only conclusion I can draw.

"Yes, if the president of the Conservatory leaves Benedica, it is easy to imagine that the destination is your country."

"That was trouble"

"You wouldn't be in so much trouble, would you? Because it's like this one, the president of the congregation moved. I don't think we're going to be able to make any other move."

"Well, yes."

In fact, Alto has no trouble at all.

This visit by Chairman Modiani is not as president of the Congregation for the Protection of the Child, but as former orphan dean. I mean, it's personal. Confidentiality of the Artenkreutz Republic will not flow to the Conservative Society.

"I dare you to forgive me for admitting that I am monitoring the Congregation for Protectorate. Now the kingdom is not willing to be hostile to your country."

"Now, right?

"Isn't it the same thing your country can't promise for the future?

"Right. Ok. So what can I do for you? No way. I really just wanted to congratulate you, didn't I?

The rush ended and I decided to get down to business.

"Yes, actually, I need you to fold in."

"What is it?

Ask for a favor, alto's vigilance increases at once.

"Why not invite King Kamui to come to the kingdom in the name of payback?

"It's..."

Rarely did Alto end up jamming words at the negotiating table. Vasily's offer was so unexpected to Alto.

"How about that?

"… the King himself will tell us why if we do not ask the Kingdom"

"Yes, I want you to meet His Majesty in our country"

"That will happen if you visit. What's the reason?

"... I want you to promise to keep your story here confidential"

Vasily has told me this as she shows how she cares about her surroundings.

"How far is that? I must naturally tell His Majesty. And you'll know the proximity."

"I want you to keep it there. You can call it a range that doesn't leak externally."

"I think that would extend to a good extent?

"It doesn't matter if it's not external"

The Kingdom of Ruthua knows with its own hands how good the protection of confidentiality and countermeasures of espionage in the Republic of Arten Kreutz are.

"Okay. I will stop talking among a limited number of our country's heavy ministers. The King, the Queen, the Right Chancellor, that's all for now."

"Yes. Okay, I'll talk to you. His Majesty the King of our country, but it may not be very long away"

"It is...... What's your intention to tell our country all those secrets?

It's the most important of all confidentiality, including the King's health problems. Alto has no idea what it means to try to inform other countries of this. It's normal to think there's a back.

"If we don't talk about this, I can't tell you why King Kamui is here."

"Are you ill?

"No, I was wondering if the expression was correct that it was debilitating"

"Isn't it too early for aging?

"After all, I seem to have enjoyed being in battle for a long time."

"Then you should rest and focus on recovery."

"My strength is weaker, not my body. I mean, here's the thing. For our country, going beyond the Empire is a grief that we have been seeking for hundreds of years. That was the general battle, unexpectedly accomplished with ease."

"No, even so."

What the kingdom obtained in the earlier battles was only part of the eastern border territory of the Empire. So the achievement of the grief seems altogether altogether.

"Yes. The territory of the Empire is still vast and its power is not an insult. But with that degree of shaking, the Empire easily succumbed to its knees. That is no longer an empire that kept stuck like a wall in front of our country. Your Majesty doesn't deserve to be the one who burns confrontation."

"... so you say you've lost your motivation?

"Yes, that's all. For the status of king of our country, the hegemony of the continent must be heavy. I don't think I can understand this, my subordinate."

"... so?

It's not something Alto understands either. If you're an alt, winning is just one of the conditions necessary to achieve your goal.

"If your country had even a third of the Empire's territory, perhaps His Majesty hasn't been like this either. You could have used your country as a new adversary to burn your strength."

"It is...... Should I be sorry or something?

I don't understand this Vasily story any better.

"Exactly that. But it's true that the problem is there."

"Because our country is small, does Your Majesty the King of your country mean?

"That's right. For His Majesty the King, your country is still small. But it is also something that makes you expect. Excuse me for saying this, but does it feel like an adult watching a promising young man in the future"

"I can't say anything, but I know what you're saying"

"And that feeling confused His Majesty"

"Confusion......, is it?

Vasily's story, moreover, begins to move in the unexpected direction of Alto.

"His Majesty had similarly exaggerated expectations. There's a presence that I was hoping would push the kingdom up to the champion of the continent."

"His Royal Highness the late Prince Alexei, isn't he?

"That's right. His Majesty is overlapping His Royal Highness the late Prince Alexei with King Kamui of your country. That's what confusion means."

"No way?"

Finally, I can see Alto talking just a little bit. It's just hard to believe in Russia.

"Only a part of my memory is flying. We envision your king Kamui as the son of His Royal Highness Prince Alexei."

"... so he wants to meet the king of our country"

"You may think this is a ridiculous story. But if you doubt it, please look into it. If you have the power of your country, you will now know that the story I have mentioned is true."

"But even if it were,"

Even so, King Alexandre II should be apart from the feelings of the Kingdom of Ruthua for Kamui.

"You don't have to name King Kamui. It's fine in the form of diving in as part of the messenger. No, one way or the other, I want you to."

"That means there are people who don't feel comfortable visiting my king, right?

"Exactly."

"Really?"

Regardless of King Alexandre II's feelings, the hostility of the Kingdom of Ruthua remains unchanged.

"I meant to tell you everything about this one. How about that?

"I'm sorry, I can't give you an instant answer."

"I know that. I'd like to know if you can confirm King Kamui's intentions."

"No, I want you to wait a while to try to do that too"

"... why?

Vasily's expression gets more rude. Exactly, I didn't think you could even talk to Kamui.

"If we talk about this, my king will undoubtedly ask the kingdom. No matter how dangerous it was."

"... I see. Is that who you are?"

"Well, even if it's dangerous, we'll figure it out. However, if you do that, it is inevitable that your feelings for our country will deteriorate rapidly. His Royal Highness, the current Crown Prince, is the head of those who don't think well, right?

"... yes, you're right"

As for Vasily, I can only honestly admit this. If we don't, we know the negotiations won't go well.

"Well, I know how you feel. It is stranger to think that the expectations of my brother, who died a long time ago, do not know that they will still fade, and that they have moved to my king."

"Yes."

"With all due respect, if His Majesty the King actually dies early, it is no surprise that the Kingdom and our country are at war. I know this danger, and I can't tell the king right away."

"Right. If I were in the same position, I would think so."

"That's why I'll give you time. Let me actually look into it first. You may not be able to make it."

"... there is no choice in that. Originally, we know it's a hopeless wish."

At a minimum, action is taken to determine the admissibility of the visit. As a Vasily, it's very convincing.

"But......, the kingdom is restless, too. I became a champion because of you."

"I can't answer that. Now I am acting as His Majesty's minister, but if the new king sets up, as the new king's minister, until I have accomplished what is to be accomplished. I'm not going to get off the champion's throne so easily."

"That's right. We will now take you to the guest hall. Please wait there. My king is about to end his greeting to the people."

"Okay."

"Hey! Show Lord Serov to the guest hall!

"Ha!"

Alto remained in the room when he instructed a civilian who had refrained from going outside the door to guide him to the guest hall.

On the front of that alto, Mito had already appeared.

"You were listening. Let me find out what's going on in the kingdom right away."

"How far do you explore?

"What about kingdom alert?

"It's pretty stiff."

Even though the Demons have excellent intelligence skills, neither the kingdom nor ever, has allowed it. Royal Castle, if that's a limited space in it, there's a way to prepare as much as you want.

"Is the king difficult?

"To make you stick around."

"Hmm. Then the king can just explore the situation a little bit. Focus on the movement of Prince Wang. That should tell you somewhat."

"Understood."

"Well, you've got a problem. I wonder what Kamui would say?

"Are you going to talk right away?

I told Kamui I wouldn't speak right away, and Mito is listening to Alto's words.

"It's obvious, right? Can you hide something from Kamui?"

"But just now,"

"Ha, Kamui is such a sweet man. That's because I thought it would be more useful if I let that happen later. The kingdom is coming."

"... you'll learn"

There is no alarm or gap. This is who Alto and Kamui are.

"The question is do you get anything by going to the kingdom...... Well, that's in the conversation with Kamui. Well, the next problem..., is that for sure?

The matter of the kingdom, so far, and Alto moved on to a separate matter. One way or another, this is the one thing that's bothering the response.

"Yes, I checked your face"

"Where now?

"I'm on my way here. I thought I'd be here in a few days. Are you sure you want to keep it in Nortwagh?

There were uninvited guests besides Vasily. That's an uninvited guest, too.

"I'm pretty sure you're alone, huh?

"There was also one person who left the Imperial Capital. No one lurked around when they showed up at the fort."

"... what the hell are you doing here? The one you can't calculate is here. Well, listen to me. Uh, nothing starts. Allow entry"

"Okay. Then Theresa Hanover will continue to bring you to Nortwagh."

Therese, as ordered by Claudia, was destined for the Republic of Artenkreutz. Throw everything away, even your obsession with raw.
