In the afternoon, in the training ground under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Defense, I straddled a horse.

A fine white horse, both furry and shaped, the horse is outside the professional field, and I can tell that this horse was raised with a lot of time and effort.

Spanning the horse, he is slowly going around the stable.

I wonder, Your Majesty.

Henry heard from just outside the stable.

While I was around, Henry was there all the time.

I'll pull the reins and answer Henry.

"Good horse. He listens to my orders."

And what?

Henry broke his neck.

I pulled the reins and increased the speed of the horse.

I speeded up and went around the stable.

After a while, sweat gushed out of the horse's body.

The white-haired sweat reflected the sunlight and glowed golden.

Oh!

It's a good constitution, and it's a good enough symbol.

So this horse is accompanying you?

I pulled my horse slowly and came back in front of Henry.

Jump off the horse and stroke the sweaty horse's face.

The horse tickled, but I stroked it with pleasure.

“Basically, that's what I do. Do you have a spare?"

“A little quality drops, but I can secure a few heads.”

Well then, please --- Oh, thank you very much, you're a good horse.

From the moment I jumped off the horse, the rest of the stables came.

I gave the man my reins while I was at it. [M]

I'm sorry to hear that.

"Did you raise this horse?"

"Yes, yes! From such a young age"

Didn't expect the emperor to speak to me, the man jumped up and answered with patience.

"Well, well done." I'll reward you with a year's worth of salmon, so go get it later at the Ministry of the Interior. "

Thank you!

The man knelt on his knees while pulling the reins and lowered his head. After that, he stood up on his knees while pulling the reins and pulled the horse with his head bowed to me.

"You know your horses well."

That's what I said when I saw him off.

What kind of place?

Henry asked strangely.

"Whatever you do on the side of the horse, 'suddenly' is not the best thing. Just doing something suddenly makes the horse sticky and dangerous - a useless explanation for Henry, who knows the battlefield well.”

Haha

"That man suddenly fell flat beside the horse, but the horse was not surprised. Was it a move that you didn't want to make, or did you just make it so that you could be trusted by that man?"

I see, it could be both of them.

Haha, was that even possible?

Henry pointed me out, and I hit my side of the head.

Surely, it doesn't make sense that only one of them has to be the reason.

Both are sufficiently conceivable.

It's the royal palace's stables, and there's no such thing as a bad person.

Not necessarily.

Huh?

I'll show you how to make that successor clear and incompetent.

"... other than that your Majesty will appoint you directly, right?"

Henry frowned and checked his assumptions.

"Ahahah, that's right. I don't want to directly appoint incompetence."

……

Henry thought about it, but he couldn't think of anything.

“I don't know. How the hell did you do that?”

"It's easy. As the caretaker of this horse, you can take him to the conscription and make him cute."

"...... I see"

Henry thought for a moment and smiled as if to squeeze out a bitter bug.

"Any position that may come to His Majesty's attention will be politically contested."

"That's what I'm talking about."

"If you are only a politically contested lowly position, it is highly likely that you are only a puppet and incompetent... Her Majesty has thought about it for a moment after all."

I smiled. [M]

Even now, there is a place where the prince and ministers can be seen, right?

That's right.

Henry has his family somewhere, right?

"I have been with His Majesty since he was a child."

Hmm?

“I'm only going to leave you with what your Majesty has in mind.”

Haha, I see.

I laughed out loud.

I had a little fun.

It seems that Henry didn't say "I didn't" here.

Naturally, there's no way the Prince's class won't leave the people who have their own breath behind.

I didn't know that I was an incompetent prince before, and now any prince can be there.

We all know how important information and connections are.

In the first place, humans from the Prince's residence are called "family".

It's only natural that someone with that kind of breath should be over here.

"Fufufu"

"What is it, Your Majesty?"

"Unfortunately, this story reminds me that the Prince's house is full of spies for each other." Since I was born, I didn't wonder, but if I was just a villager, I would have thought this sight very strange. "

"Although it can't be helped, it's a bad culture."

It wasn't until after Zhongxing that this happened.

Haha

Henry agreed with me.

Zhongxing.

Once upon a time, the Empire was on the brink of destruction.

The ancestors of Zhongxing rebuilt it and led the Empire back to prosperity.

Previously, he was raised indiscriminately, except for the Crown Prince.

"Hah, I took the lessons from that time, I gave my prince a land seal, and I started to nurture him by getting him involved in politics."

"Therefore, the quality of the prince after ZTE has improved, but by engaging in politics, each of them dives into each other's spies." It's a mess in the world, isn't it? "

I laughed.

From Dustin's point of view, it might have been easier to live in the old days.

Ahahaha, it's true.

Henry, I laughed.

Tenth Prince Dustin.

Not a competent person, but a person who has consistently been known as a "lady lover" since he was a teenager.

Sometimes I wondered what that was like, but Gilbert and Albert were surprised to find out that they had fallen.

It was Dustin's top-notch obscenity, and he insisted that he had no ambition for the throne by piercing his favorite woman.

If you're not interested in the throne and you're always a woman lover, it's fine to leave you alone as a prince.

Dustin noticed the position first, and now he thinks he's on the right track.

"... I'll talk to you because it's statute of limitations."

Hmm?

His Majesty's 13th Prince's residence was famous among us for being the most difficult house to infiltrate.

Huh?

I turned my back on Henry.

I didn't know it was said like that until now, and it was interesting to hear it for the first time.

"Most of the servants of the 13th Prince's residence owed a debt to His Majesty." Some of them think he saved his life. "

Yeah, that's right.

"Because of this, it is difficult to dive in. Even if you can dive in various ways, most people feel indebted to your Majesty, so even if you can't see him, you will naturally be vigilant for him."

I see.

"Especially that woman named Evelyn. Her Majesty's treatment of that woman is amazing, everyone says it with all their mouths." I can't believe you're showing me not only grace, but also the future. "

“Everyone's got a family, right?”

Her Majesty is the first to kill a woman, and she's the only one left.

"..... ahh"

I nodded tinyly.

That's right, that's right.

Evelyn, formerly a guest maid at the 13th Prince's residence, I was sent as a substitute for Almería.

It is almost unprecedented to make a woman a substitute.

But if you have the talent and loyalty to use it, your servants will become more and more united.

"People are treasures."

I turned around and said, looking up at the sky.

"Half of human beings are women. Even though there are the same number as men, it's a waste not to take advantage of it, right?"

"That's the beauty of His Majesty." We can't use women anymore. "

"... that's right."

I nodded tinyly.

I still think so.

When I became an emperor and thought that I could use a woman on my own, the resistance from those who valued tradition continued.

It doesn't go well inside.

Well, I can't help it.

I don't think we'll be able to make it anytime soon.

Let's turn it into a tunnel.

"... the man from before"

Yes?

"That man from the stables, I'll take him to the Parental Conscription." Give him a proper position and let him take care of my horse. "

"I don't mind that, but... why?"

If we keep this up, we might get involved in a political game and disappear somewhere by the time I get back.

"Ahh..."

"Your arms seem to be working properly to take care of the horses, so I'll keep them protected for a while."

That's right.

Well then, that's enough.

"Hah. I'll put you back in service."

I nodded and left the stable behind.

People are treasures.

I wish this way of thinking were more widespread.
