As such, the night club ended and I returned to his mansion with His Highness Ethel.
Your Highness's residence is not that White Asian castle, but a large mansion in the vicinity of the castle, in the aristocratic district.
Because His Royal Highness Ethel is undoubtedly the son of the Second Lady of the Predecessor and the younger brother of the current king, King Owen, but he has no place in the royal family.
With the reign of his brother, King Owen, he descended to the throne - that is, he renounced his right to inherit the throne and became a minister.
The last name given is Southmark.
Yes, the Southern Frontier Continent (Southmark).
Originally, the name Fur Tile Kingdom dates back quite a long time.
Named after the Federation in the Great Union Age, it was a powerful country that spanned two continents, Glassland and Southmark, and dominated a wide area around the Medium Sea.
The kingdom's sideline royalty - self-proclaimed - will mean that the country that arose in the chaos after the Great Bankruptcy will be the current (...) Fur Tile Kingdom.
So the present kingdom of Fur Tile claims to be an authentic heir to the former kingdom of Fur Tile, formerly part of the Federation.
...... In fact, I also hear how historically certain and justified an argument that is is is a bit suspicious.
But I'm not very interested there.
It is noteworthy here that the present Fartile Kingdom has been quite successful and has listed the existence of the former Fartile Kingdom as a justification for its dominance.
The former Fartile kingdom also had a vast territory in Southmark, based on Glassland.
The rulers were the royal bloodline, headed by the southmark princess.
Although this Southmark public house was cut off two hundred years ago by the Great Bankruptcy, or the demons led by the Upper King.
Known for his auspicious arms, his predecessor, Egbird II, began exploring the South under the great name of reclaiming and rebuilding the territory of the lost former Fartile kingdom around here and regaining its former prestige in the kingdom.
It's just that it's been more than a decade, and he died suddenly half-witted.
Then, when King Owen, a moderate son, took office, dissatisfaction with the governance that had been made up of the former king's power erupted.
With the current king's indecision, the politics seems rough for the price.
However, King Owen may not be competent, but he was also incompetent.
He could understand how much damage would be done to the kingdom if the developing South broke down in the air without a clear policy.
That's why I gave His Royal Highness Ethel the name of Lord Southmark's lost home and sent him to the South.
Around them, they saw that a deal had been made that "the king would descend to his subordination a resourceful brother who might contend for the throne, and the king's brother would gain the name of Lord Southmark and a developable territory for it".
So they say the proceedings around here have unexpectedly gone so far.
Although the foreground has grown longer, that is why His Highness Ethel has a mansion in the aristocratic district of Teardrop Capital (Iliastia) and does not return to the castle.
Strictly speaking, he is the Duke of Southmark who governs the northern part of the Southern Frontier Continent (Southmark), not the royalty who lives in the castle.
And this was lucky for me, too.
It is the trusted servants chosen by His Highness Ethel who manage His Highness's mansion.
I can get distracted.
… today, I'm tired.
I breathed deeply as I lay down in a fuzzy bed in a magnificent guest room.
A vibrant nightclub.
Sparkling duel.
An unafraid conspiracy.
And, you know, a glossy woman with golden and purple blue eyes.
Too many things, I'm really tired.
Physical exhaustion can't help but spiritual exhaustion, even if the dragon's power compensates for it.
Close your eyes and you will soon find a comfortable sleep.
... that night, I slept like mud.
◆
The next morning I woke up early in the morning.
When the window opens, a clear air emerges, characteristic of the dawn of summer.
I washed my face and rinsed my mouth, then knelt down and prayed for about thirty minutes.
Report this and what happened to God.
Tell them what you think, thank them, confess.
... Somehow, I felt that God was smiling and listening to me next door.
When I stopped telling him that, I prayed heartlessly, with the intention of even offering "emptiness that there was nothing more".
Once upon a time, Marie said that it was only in that empty part of the world that we gave our thoughts to that God could live in.
At that time, I hadn't met God, and I wasn't sure.
... Now, I feel like I know somehow.
When he finishes his prayers, he goes out into the garden with the training sword he brings.
When you exercise prep and relax your body, concentrate your senses and converge your mana on the wooden sword.
The wooden sword, staunchly engraved with "signs" that add weight, grew heavier.
So at first, very slowly, wave a heavy wooden sword.
Extremely heavy, the snail crawls in a very slow motion, lifting and swinging it down.
Keep your center of gravity low and don't let your body shaft brake you.
Contrary to appearance, there is so much load that sweat seeps in tightly.
There is another load to swing quickly on the momentum and very slowly while holding it.
Something is going to be very hard, like working out a heavy sticky fabric, doing a slow, slow, basic series of operations.
When that's over, now switch and fast.
Like a swallow cutting the wind, he arcs and the tip of the wooden sword leaps.
Draw a large circle and hit your fictional opponent with a slash.
Draw a small circle and pay off a fictional attack.
Feet. Feet. Body. Arm clasp.
I intend to check one by one and repeat the operation over and over again.
I still have a slight discomfort sticking to all parts of my body because I haven't been able to work out satisfactorily on my journey for a while.
With the intention of eliminating that discomfort, I repeat my workouts in mind.
When I was immersed in the task of even bullying my body out and adjusting my moves with the beauty of my movements, I realized that the sun was rising completely.
By the time I was able to speak to the servant, I would be sitting in the morning hours, but the water was blowing from my whole body.
… the capital is an unfamiliar place.
Because it's an unfamiliar place, I want to rush to swing the burning blade and avoid things that fail.
Keep a good hold of what is possible with what you have right now and its value.
I thought so.
◆
I take a bath of water, get dressed as a butterfly while the servant helps me, get myself ready, and get out to my breakfast table.
His Highness Ethel came a little late and sat in the upper seat.
... I'm glad I didn't have to keep you waiting.
In the large hall, a long table for lots of people to sit at.
A delicate embroidered tablecloth was applied, where the dishes were already lined up.
A fragrant bread served in a knitting cage, butter served in a small jar.
Omelets with lots of vegetables on a white plate are served with brown sauce with slices of mushrooms.
A thick bacon with hot air beside it.
Various kinds of fruits are served vividly in high and low appearance.
"Getting Started"
"……… Huh?
And I was confused.
There is only His Highness Ethel and me on this occasion.
... As a matter of course, I'm not the only one under His Highness Ethel.
Beginning with the temple chief, there are several capable people under his command, even as far as I know.
To be honest, whatever the small scale of the havoc, my "value as a pawn" is about a show bill when it comes to political activity in this capital.
The important pawns in charge of practice are them. Not me. Even though...
"What about the others?
"I had it removed this time"
…………
"Don't be so alarmed, I'm not going to say anything unscrupulous"
His Royal Highness said so and flaunted his shoulder.
I just wanted to apologize for one thing.
"Apologize, sir"
"Uhm.... I was, apparently, insulting Sir"
His Royal Highness Ethel closes his eyes for the first time and strokes his jaw to choose a word, then continues the word.
"Though he is a hero of the world who was raised by a mighty hero and gained even the power of a dragon.
He insulted me that if I went up to the capital, I would only be confused and I could barely handle it.
Therefore, "Don't do anything" and so on, I stabbed a nail like I said to a bunch of kids I wanted to shake... apparently not. "
"No, Your Highness. I..."
"I would have roughly spotted that karaki from yesterday and put it in a difficult shape. Although noble, not everyone is good at witchcraft and observation, and some of them are good at it.
Especially if it's a target of conspiracy. "
…………
When they say that, I can't say anything.
"Also, Sir has an oath to break. It was my fault that I forgot that and ordered you not to move."
"Uh..."
"Don't look so troubled. To put it in a nutshell, there was a little bit more 'let's use it well'.
As a superior, I was a lot wrong about the Holy Knight's assessment of his power in urban areas. And I fixed that. That's the thing.
... Can you accept my apology?
Her Royal Highness Ethel laughs at me for saying so.
I snorted. [M]
"It's a waste of time, Your Highness"
"Uhm."
Although the head of a normal person does not diminish, the lower the head of a royal family, the less authority it diminishes.
- Your Highness seems to be feeling light, but he cares a lot about me.
"So let's get Sir to work from now on,"
…………
"Let's get you to work"
He had a very good smile.
"Hey, wait a minute. Not me."
"There's as much as you can spend on it as Sir. Even in the capital, I found out that I knew a lot about you, but I wouldn't let you rest."
I rush to say something, but I get convoluted.
"Mi, I don't even know the details of the capital!
"Let the rep explain.... Well, it seems more motivated than anything to show an interest in the truth!
"Stop interpreting enlargement like a forceful customer!
That's a good smile, motherfucker!
It seems like you want me to do whatever it takes.
"What will you do if I fail!
"I'm sure I'll help."
He was immediately answered with the face that he deserved what he did.
Because it's so naturally said, for a moment, thoughts freeze.
"There is a mistake. If there is any goodwill, I do not expect Sir to be a force in the court struggle right now.
Because we seem to have the qualities, we want to keep things going on the ground within the present time when the situation is stable.... you know what I mean?
His Royal Highness told me that what I should do this time is go through the air of court manipulation and keep it to a non-lethal level.
".................. ah"
That's all they said, and I finally figured it out too (...).
Indeed, as His Royal Highness has said, I have heard that Fur Tile has been stable for the past decade or so.
Peace has been established with the small and medium-sized kingdoms in the west, which crossed the drinks several times some twenty years ago, and trade is now flourishing.
We are not in direct contact with the Ice Mountains, where the families of the evil gods come down south, and there are few massive southwards these days. They've got a lot of defense nets in place, too.
Even though the Hundred Kingdoms of Conflict in the east still have no predictions, they are beginning to see quite a few signs of stability.
Even the biggest problem in the country, Southern pioneering, is that right.
The push and pull have been repeated internally for a long time.
I mixed up there this year, and I was somewhat flattered, and all of a sudden I said, "Let's not pioneer! All retreats!" such an extreme conclusion will not be drawn, nor will it be possible to draw.
There's nothing like a hero who suddenly switches when a big political currents appear without even a few agitators. Come to think of it, it's natural.
And in such a long and close battle, it is the likes of His Highness Ethel who make the situation so big...
"Slightly more pioneering" or "slightly more defensive" as a result of their battle?
I mean, that's what we're doing right now.
Of course I'm not a light pawn. [M]
The two names of "The End of the Holy Knight" have a lot of weight, as well as usage.
It would often be detrimental if denigrated.
But that's not what I'm talking about when I'm a detour, when it all loses, when it doesn't work.
It's not a quick-throwing showdown, like when you fought Valakhiaka.
I mean, you know, I was a little over-conscious, like one day... or over-conscious. Embarrassing.
"Did you understand the situation?
"Yes.... as long as you are ashamed"
I'm important, and if I fail, it's a hell of a thing! And so on, in the form I've said in front of someone who's doing something really important.
Really, this is embarrassing.
If there's a hole, you want to go in, or you want to stay small and disappear.
"Heroes, if you are entertained before you go with the brave men of your time, you are better. … than that, isn't it time for breakfast? It'll get cold."
Her Royal Highness Ethel cared about me or switched the conversation slightly.
My lord and I quietly pray for a meal.
"Well, that's what we talked about. In the future, you will be asked to move a little more with all kinds of manipulation……"
While cutting the omelet with a knife, His Royal Highness waved the topic at a level of public discourse.
That's about it for the important story, I guess.
"Is there anything you'd like to do with Sir? Take care to accompany your vows as much as possible as a reputable charity."
"That's right."
I thought, um...
Is it something I can do to help with court work?
I wonder if this is it. Alongside muscle strength is of paramount importance -
"I want to start with the money."
His Highness peeled off his eyes.
