Episode 46: Vincent's Readiness/Prime Minister's Acting Inauguration

In the Kingdom of Tristan, if a person in an official position suffers from an illness, he or she can nominate his or her own blood relative as his or her substitute.

When Fioria received her power of attorney from her father Graham, she immediately headed toward the royal palace.

"Lady Duke of Florence, it's Fioria di Florence. I'm sorry for the rush, but I need you to follow Vincent's lead."

The royal palace was overwhelmed by a sudden visit.

If Fioria had been just a duke's wife, there would have been no problem.

Vincent's hand must have been allowed to see him even when he was cleared.

However, Fioria is the Duke's Lady, as well as the Pope of Monad Protestantism.

It far outweighs the King of the Kingdom of Tristan in authority and has great influence over all of the Belgian continent.

By analogy, it is like a sudden visit by a king to a local nobleman.

No disrespect is allowed in case, and even waiting is horrible.

All those who work in the Royal Palace are famous for their relaxation, but only this time, at a miraculous rate, was a place to see with Vincent.

"Long time no see, Vincent."

Was the last time we saw each other about a month ago?

At first glance, the expression was the same as usual, but the color of fatigue appeared in the pale eyes.

"Looks like I'm a lot tired, but I guess I'll be fine"

"Again, you know what I mean"

"Of course, I've looked after you since you were a little girl. Your complexion is also misleading with makeup, isn't it?

"…… I can't hide anything from you at all."

Vincent sighs as if he had noticed.

"Let me apologize first.... I'm sorry. I am aware that I caused a great deal of trouble to Lord Graham."

Graham, who should have already left the table stage of politics.

However, it was Vincent's strong request that he return to the post of Chancellor.

"As you know, the Kingdom of Tristan has been completely exhausted in the last twenty years. We have to rebuild it here. It was then that I was asked to rely on Lord Graham, once known as the" Chancellor of Ice ".... Thanks to you, I see some light. I thank you from the bottom of my heart."

"Your father's work was satisfactory to Vincent."

"Of course."

It was an immediate answer.

It is a caged instant answer of certainty that does not even place it for a moment.

"Without Lord Graham, my reform would have been so frustrating."

"Yes."

Fioria nodding satisfactorily.

"Your father would be satisfied if you could say that. I'll make sure that word gets through to you."

"……… Please."

"Is the prime minister's successor on the lookout?

"Don't poke me where it hurts, you are"

Vincent scratches up dark hair close to blue and smiles slightly.

"No one can replace Lord Graham, and I cannot allow Lord Graham to impose any further.... If so, I'll have to do it alone."

"What about the other nobles?

"You won't be able to. They're too old for heads. Left behind by the times, I haven't even been able to protect my own home"

Fioria once prophesied.

Since the beginning of trade with the East, merchants have been rapidly gaining strength.

In the time to come, what we will need is economic power.

If it is left in the stream, it will be fed, noble or not.

… the current situation is exactly as it stands.

The aristocrats of the Kingdom of Tristan, most of whom are in deficit finances.

I can't help but accumulate debts and collect taxes.

It is no longer a level of obstruction to the operation of the state, and the not so distant future, the country itself, collapses.

I guess Vincent got his hands on the reform because he understands it.

"I am well aware of the difficulty of the road. But whether it's just me or not, it has to be done. - Live in this country, for all the people. As kings, you will never be forgiven for letting them get lost on the street."

Vincent's eyes are engraved with a neighborhood.

This neighborhood is so deep that you can't hide it while wearing makeup.

But still, the eyes are filled with strong will.

A year ago, no young man was anywhere near as eye-catching as a loser.

As a monarch, as one who has, as one who stands above men.

For the people, for those who do not have it, for someone other than themselves.

A lonely king who will do his duty by cutting off his own life.

A man named Vincent D. Tristan had been reborn as such.

"I'm sure you won't live long."

Puffiness.

Fioria whining like a zero (spill).

"I don't mind if so."

No longer a single stray, Vincent answers resolutely.

"Despite his old age, Lord Graham served as Chancellor to the point where the limits came to pass. If so, if I don't powder myself again, I can't reward that loyalty. - If the Kingdom of Tristan is going to continue, I will dedicate as much of this life as I want."

Vincent's change.

The trigger, perhaps.

(I wonder if your father collapsed from overwork.)

And, Fioria is guessing.

(I've made a sacrifice, so I can't waste that. We must make sure that we achieve results.... I'm sure that's what you're thinking. Vincent has always had a strong sense of responsibility)

Looking back twenty years ago, Vincent had a childish, forceful personality.

I've grown up completely compared to before, but still on the inside he breathes firmly at the time.

As for Fioria, she's nostalgic, she's happy... she's getting warm somewhere.

"Hey, Vincent"

Fioria retrieved, from her nostalgia, a power of attorney on behalf of the Chancellor.

I originally intended to help Vincent reform instead of his father, but more than usual, I was more than willing to ride.

"Don't worry. You are not alone. - I'll give you a hand."

"… is that okay with you?

Vincent asks back unexpectedly.

"I appreciate it, but you will have a job as pope"

"The job is fine. Practice is what Sheila and Heinkel are in charge of. I'm a church advertising tower, so to speak, a mascot."

"Slightly too noisy when it comes to mascots -" Did I say something "- No, it's nothing"

Cohon, and Vincent coughing.

Then he had a slightly hazy expression,

"I didn't expect the day to come when I could do something with you. Glad to hear it, honestly."

And I shrugged.

Fioria will thus assume the office of Chancellor and will be involved in the national government of the Kingdom of Tristan.

Of course, the Pope of Monad Protestantism remains concurrent.

In contrast, many aristocrats

"It's Home Affairs Interference by Monad Protestantism!

"Fioria's gonna take over the country like this!

and started working together behind him to dismiss Fioria.

We feared that our position would be threatened.

A creature called aristocracy becomes active only when it does so.... I guess if I had demonstrated that ability to act from time to time, I wouldn't have suffered from a fiscal deficit either.

On the other hand, when it came to the public's reaction, this one was also superior.

"Master Fioria is going to be prime minister."

"Does that mean even the Wang capital can have the luxury of Florence territory!

"Isn't that great! I can't do this, we're having a party tonight! Golden Goddess Banzai!

Florence Territory reforms, Protestant foundations, Evil God crusades -.

All of Fioria's achievements were known to the people, and as a result, her popularity in Ichii had no longer reached an enthusiastic level.

Rumors circulate that he has assumed the post of Chancellor. No, he says celebratory feasts have been held in various parts of the Kingdom of Tristan.

Fioria's first policy was to meet people's expectations.

It was a devastating blow to the nobles pulling Fioria's feet.

Abandoned Territory Prefecture.

Abolish the aristocratic territory and make the whole Kingdom of Tristan a royal direct jurisdiction.

such a policy.
