Portrait of Queen Berta: I accidentally got pregnant with His Majesty’s child

For the first time in a month and a half, a samurai who had sent her to the south for good reason returned to the rear palace.

Berta made a payment and called only the samurai into her private room.

"Thank you. You must be tired of moving on."

The samurai smiled, but her shiny skin and hair were a little rough before she left, and she would still have enjoyed a long journey on her own.

"There's nothing to say. Compared to the princess's usual impotence."

Encouraging her to take a seat across the street, the samurai does not hesitate to sit there as she is accustomed to.

"You put a new woman in the palace. Is it in the north, too?"

"Yep. There's a few things going on..."

Scratching and explaining about Nina, the samurai blew out like she couldn't stand it.

"... that's a good way to live."

"Lisa, you seem to like that."

Berta gave up this samurai, who has a profound weight of color lovers, because she wanted to be Nina's guide if circumstances permitted, but the job she left to Lisa was so much bigger.

"For now, I'm leaving Nina to Isalia."

"Is it Isalia? More importantly, she hates the northern Petra."

"Yeah, but Isalia is serious, so if Nina works properly, she'll see it without color glasses"

Lisa wandered her gaze a little to think of her peers, and she reacted that she was not convinced.

"... well, I'm pretty sure about that. It's a cure for princess."

"Right. Well, when I look at Nina, I think it could be a little cluttered."

Lisa looked like she had seen something rare, but for the first time she seemed to stop mentioning it and breathed slowly a few times as she did.

I called her here on purpose to pay for it because I have a point.

"In conclusion,"

"Yeah."

"We did not get any good color responses from Kasha. Again, the south is still in a very moveable situation."

Berta roared at the answer as expected.

"... well, there's no choice."

Berta also has no particular objection to Kasha holding back the south and not moving.

"Even Kasha is still a little over two years old since Louis was born, because he hasn't moved with that intention. I still can't move now."

The Queen's status, which the daughter of the clan suddenly gained, was in fact still out of hand for her southern cousin, the Kasha family.

"I just came to tell you what the princess wanted. Even if the house itself can't move, do you want to let the indulgence advance into the center, or do you want the people of the clan to serve as officials?"

"What happened to your father?

"He said it was difficult to get a candidate. However, you said you would draw enthusiasm for the Princess sending me over."

"Yes..."

Berta herself was just exploring the drop, staring at the atmosphere of the royal palace.

In due course, now is the best time for the daughter of the clan to stand as queen, and the external morning is not stable, and she also deserves to enter the Wang capital.

If the south were a stone, and Kasha could pour his strength over here, my father would surely do so.

From the Wang capital, the south is still being taken like a menace of hiding and female claws. But from Berta, who understands the political situation in the south as a party, there are many holes in the south as well.

That is a major flaw in the structure of governance.

"The south is rich, but it's still developing. We're behind, compared to continental countries and kingdoms."

Kasha has only been a father's substitute for more than twenty years and has developed visibly, but still remains strong and pre-epochal.

There is no doubt that Kasha is the largest power in the south, but the implications of its rule were vastly separated from the nations.

In fact, Kasha's direct jurisdiction is not significantly different from other great lords in the south.

Kasha's greatest strength lies in her appetite. It was because the vastness of the substantial sphere of influence makes Kasha the southern leader.

"So now I still can't move. Kasha's ground, which is not shaped by virtual domination alone, is too brittle and dangerous"

There is also the problem in the first place of saying how far we can add as Kasha territory when there is a clear test and line draw from the north.

And the house of Taisho, which is in kinship, and the house which the men of the Kasha tribe had inherited, and put under Kasha.

The small lords, who accept Kasha's substantial dominion at present, will also rebel not least if they are to be formally incorporated into their direct jurisdiction.

"Your father always looks like an absolute ally. But if you say so, it's a vanity. You really don't need a good look if you're a stone."

"At least your husband is a Southern hero. If my husband hadn't put the south together as Kasha's master, the land would still be a skirmish between small nations."

Lisa looked more tired just imagining. Her sense of reality is pessimistic, but it made sense.

Berta knows almost exclusively by hearsay the times in the south, once plunged into muddy civil strife. With only a few memories of my childhood and stories repeatedly heard by the adults, I only feel the history of my rough hometown.

Valerio, Berta's father, was raw to the largest clan in the south at the end of that era of chaos, separating it into one era by concentrating even power on itself.

"Right. I'm sure the south won't waver as long as your father stays on its throne."

But it is obvious if we learn from history that there is nothing we can do where heroes have only protruded one generation.

"… but there is no guarantee that Kasha will remain a Southern ally for decades"

It was also an issue that Kasha's current host Valerio himself was aware of and focused on dealing with. Berta's perception of herself as her biggest role at the moment was also a related trend.

- The most important proposition of the Kasha clan, which built the largest print in the south, is to perpetuate its authority.

It is good to say that finalizing Kasha's status in a way that anyone can understand and letting the stone next-generation take over is the great battle that betrayed the survival of the clan.

"- If the princess had been set on Kasha's trail,"

Berta couldn't retreat from Lisa's paranoia.

When we talked about this, it was a hypothesis that would always come out of the people around Berta. Especially this samurai, Lisa, who has always had a good time and speaks of that imagination in the way she dreams.

"If the princess had succeeded Kasha, she would have been a wonderful next generation, knowing more than anyone how to be the master of her husband and drawing his will as his lord."

Between the birth of his half-brother Cleto, Berta was the only child of his father for a long time.

In the meantime, opinions have of course emerged from the Kasha clan and the surrounding Taisho clan as to whether or not to take Berta, the maiden, as a trail.

But my father turned away from them, and never tried to set Berta on his seat of retrieval. Because he thought he was weak in his daughter as a trail to let Kasha inherit everything from him.

My father strongly wanted the outgoing boy for his own retrieval.

"Right. If I were born a man."

Berta herself has thought about it many times.

In a position where people spared me growing up that I wasn't born a man, it was an issue I couldn't help thinking about.

If I were a man, I would have grown up being seen as a trail from the moment I was born as my father's eldest son, my son. In the presence of my mother, the First Lady, I have seen my father as the Lord nearby for longer than anyone else. I grew up knowing the heavy responsibility.

"I'm sure it worked."

But Berta's tone of reflection on the past was now lighter.

There is no great significance in the hypothetical story.

"I told you nothing."

Lisa also smiles in eye contact with Berta again. The samurai didn't mean it either.

"That's right."

Raised that way. Before being wasted by the adults around me, I grew up knowing from my father and my mother that Berta was willing not to let me inherit the house and why, and I understand that's what it is.

"Besides, now I feel like I'm going to make myself worthy of being born a woman."

I wasn't dissatisfied with myself being born as a woman, and there was a lot that a woman could do with it. Political marriage is also the primary role of the daughter of the house.

"Even now that I am queen, I can protect my home from the outside"

At a young age, though I never imagined myself to be a daughter-in-law outside, let alone central to the royal family.

"When Kasha moves, it's time to harbor the power of the continent's great nobility, the Duke, at once."

In other words, Berta must struggle alone for a while, with an unwise face not to be distracted by the brittleness of the southern ground in the centre. Kasha refuses the episcopate and still does not enter the center.

"Are you surprised by the movement in the south in the morning?"

"I don't know. You understand that it's not because it's not a bedrock that doesn't come out, but I don't think we share the seriousness of the situation as much as the parties"

What Berta cared about was King Harold himself and his proximity, rather than emerging aristocrats and conservatives in the north.

"The more I am stood in distress by burning my hands at the northern faction, the more unnatural it will be that Kasha will not put out yet. So I don't want to rub it, I don't want to stand out."

Lisa looked somewhat dissatisfied.

"That's kind of what's going on for the princess."

"I don't have a choice. It doesn't mean I'm bad at it."

Seeing the surrounding environment and making the necessary moves was a familiar behavior for Berta.

"I'm sorry for your loss. It's like having a real wife who would have had a boy in the house."

Berta reserved herself to return a bitter laugh to the carelessly straightforward words of the samurai.
