The Equus king has three wives.

They are called First Princess, Second Princess, and Third Princess.

The two princesses gave birth to Muzio.

The three elders gave birth to their eldest sons.

It was the one princess who gave birth to the third son.

Basically, the younger the number, the better the family and the person's position.

This time, the three princesses who gave birth to their eldest son became ill.

"HM……"

Julia palpates the Three Princesses.

Then look at your throat to see your heart beat.

Finally, check your soul with your eyes (•).

"Is it going to be cured?"

King Equus anxiously watches over Julia's diagnosis.

Yulia nodded.

"Yes, somehow. I'll do the treatment .... I'm leaving you once. It's a secret."

Listening to Julia's words, the faces, including Almus and King Equus, leave Yurt.

After confirming that everyone has left the room, Julia cuts into the third princess.

"You're not sick. This is a curse. It's also very clever. It doesn't have immediate effect, but it's an annoying type of curse that slowly erodes the body. Are you not? "

"A curse ... is something like a medium ..."

The three princesses desperately remember.

But I can't think of anything that could be a medium of curse.

"Before the birth of the disease ... two or three months before, is there anything you still care about? It is something you use everyday."

"Even so ..."

"So what did you get from the First and Second Princess?"

Julia approaches the Three Princesses.

"I received this pendant from two princesses. For the New Year's celebrations, he seems to be using garnet from the kingdom of Domorgar."

The three princesses are fitted with green jewels.

Yulia receives it and smells it to confirm.

"This is different. What else? What gifts did you receive from the Princess?"

"Is this pillow?"

Yulia receives the pillow and smells it.

And frowned.

"It smells"

"I'm sorry ..."

"No, it's a curse instead of that. Can I cut it? I'll resew it later."

It's a rather expensive thing.

Once cut, it will not return to its original state.

"does not matter"

"I understand"

Julia pulls out the knife and tears the pillow.

Wool is peeped from inside.

Julia sticks her hand in the wool, dragging the source of the smell.

What came out was a centipede corpse.

"It's a poison ... a typical curse. But it seems like you're controlling the effects with multiple drugs. The smell is cleverly hidden. Let's curse it back. Well, it's a curse to die I'm not a sorcerer who asked me, ''

Julia puts her centipede in her pocket.

Then take out multiple herbs from the medicine box and make medicine.

The resulting drug was rolled up and rolled up on grass for preservation.

"Thirty, take once a day. Because it has a purifying effect, I think it will recover. I will eat properly, sleep and build my strength. That's it. ... I'll leave it to you. "

It is each other that the successor problem is a quagmire.

If you stick your neck, it will be troublesome. First of all, it should be left to the third princess.

Yulia decided so.

"That's why."

"Well, every country has a great fight for successors."

"That's true. It's a problem not to be like our country, but it's also a problem like the Equus."

I and Julia talk while drinking wine.

You don't need to use honorifics because you pay for the important stories.

It doesn't seem to matter that there are many successors to the Equus.

If anything, the character of the princess is correct.

Is Julia and Tetra okay?

I can't hear each other.

"But, why don't you aim for the usual eldest son, Methyl?-If you're among babies, it seems easy to aim."

"I think it's tough, because the guards are tough."

I see. Is it a bitter measure?

Is it too early to think that only the three princesses are cursed?

Relatives may also curse or have plans to do so.

"And the Equus seem to have a higher status of women than the kingdom of Rossais. The mother's voice is greater. That's why it's easier to do if the backing dies."

"Yes. Low risk low return is safer than high risk high return."

I'm also a cautious person so I understand my feelings.

But is it too long?

Oh, because it's a very curse. It's hard to curse.

Not astonishing for assassination.

"What about him, Muzio?"

"Oh, who was with Almus yesterday overnight?"

"It's bad, right. I'm not wrong."

It's true that we drank it.

"Speaking of which, is it a promise to get a new horse tomorrow? Then negotiations afterwards."

"Oh, yes. Distribution of the tyrannical dragon scales and fangs is tomorrow."

I want to end the negotiations as soon as possible.

It is reported that there is no major movement so far in King Rosais' hawk mail.

"I think white horses are good for me."

"White or ... um, I prefer black or red. That's cooler."

And I'm not a prince.

You are still a royal family. White is not suitable.

"Well, I'll be back and sleep soon."

"Can I stay separately?"

"Baka, it's going to be a big problem. It's much later to ignite this successor problem."

I pull Yulia and press my lips.

"Well, tomorrow."

"Yes"

"Now let's start with the distribution of the tyrannical dragons.

"Oh, the problem is the conscience and the opposite scale.

The mandrel is a special metal at the heart of the dragon.

When combined with Damascus steel by a special processing method, Dragon Damascus steel is completed.

But only the desert people can hit it. There is no help for it.

An inverted scale is a scale that grows in the opposite direction of only one dragon scale.

It is said to be weak because it is softer than other scales.

Since the color is beautiful, it is highly valuable as a decorative product.

"I haven't got married these days.

Muzio points to the opposite scale.

It's the same for me getting married ... but nothing has been sent to Tetra.

But sending it to Yulia is not good.

Would be good.

"I see. I'll get the money."

Ain's will either convert it or process it.

Honest dragons don't care.

This fangs, nails and scales are as hard as iron, but difficult to process.

It's just good for armor.

When the number cannot be secured, it is a failure point as an armor.

I want a horse more than that.

There is a horse that can replace that horse.

"Don't get so stuck. Come on. I'll let you choose."

"I'm sorry. The price is ..."

"Don't take it, because my subordinate was originally sent to find me."

I'm guided to the stable by Mzio.

"By the way, are there any requests?"

"That's right. The fur is good in red or black. The brave person is good. The previous person was adult but escaped."

Because of the use of black powder, it's out of the question to run away.

"I'm brave ... that kind of temperament is rough, but is it good?"

"I'll look at that area before thinking. If not, I'll do another."

When we talk about that, we arrive at the stable.

"I have only collected good horses. The four horses from the left are not castrated for breeding. The seven horses from the right are castrated. Please choose."

I look at the horses in order from the left.

First, a horse that has not been castrated.

He seems to have a bad temper, but he's not going to bark and run away.

But ...

"Don't say this. I'm unlikely to ride."

He has a face that seems to be unwilling to be carried.

I'm not good at riding, but it's not good either.

I don't like dropping and dying.

Next, look at the seven heads from the right.

He seems to be mature and his feet are fast.

Not bad ...

"Hmm, don't be surprised. Is there anything else?"

"The stable across from it.

I head to the stable pointed to by Mzio.

"Here's a mare, but it's worse than those guys?"

Well, it looks like it's a few steps behind the great horses there.

But I'm not looking for a fast-footed horse. A horse that never escapes in an emergency.

"Can I make a little loud sound?"

"Although it's good"

I take out the tantrum.

He wanted to visit him when he was attacked by a wolf.

Hit the ground with all your might.

A loud noise resounds, and Mzio sits down.

At the same time, the horse starts to hunger and rampage.

It took a few minutes to calm down.

"Hey, if you make such a big sound, say it from the beginning.

"Oh, do this. I wasn't surprised."

I point to a red horse.

I like the color.

"It's better to stop it ... it's got black spots on his face, isn't it? Allegedly, horses with black spots call evil spirits, and their mother gave birth to them He died shortly after, and recently there was a fire in the stable, and for some reason it just survived. "

"Then why did you put it in. Did you collect it for me to choose?"

"No, it's a story frame, you know?"

I don't know. Are you a high school student?

It's the same age as me, so I'm only a high school student in Japan.

"Well, what you have decided is what you have decided. And, after all, is it superstition? I can also regard it as having a strong ability to survive."

And it's a bit poor to be judged by face.

But why did you grow up so far though it was ominous?

I just want to crush it.

"He's a great horse. He's a pretty good horse. He's raised for breeding. Well, I'll do it if you want it. Don't complain if you die?"

You can't tell if you die.

"Would you like to try it by the way?"

"Yes, it's a problem if it goes wrong."

"That's good. I have to ride a woman and a horse to know it. And that's a mare."

You're bad at your proud face, but you're not saying anything good at all?

"Not bad, yeah"

The sinister horse that I chose did a good run.

Even with an unfamiliar saddle and stirrup, I didn't run a bit.

Kimo is sitting.

"What's your name? Well, I'll do it later. For the time being," No name. "Ominous horses are bad.

Suddenly the anonymity stopped.

Does not move easily.

Looking closely, you can see black clumps moving in the overgrown grass.

That is……

Isn't it a wolf?

Why do you meet a wolf on the first ride. In such a midday, near the capital of the Equus.

You're really lucky, aren't you?

"Well good, because there are tantrums."

I take a tantrum out of my pocket as I follow a wolf shrinking the siege.

"Hey, go there."

The wolf flees when she throws a tantrum.

Some wolves shrink and become immobile.

It's so cute

"Let's get away soon. What do you care about, maybe my bad luck."

We safely returned to the Equus capital.

Next is diplomatic negotiations.
