Risou no Himo Seikatsu

"You kept me waiting, Octavia. Hike."

"Yes, excuse me, Sire Aura"

Then some time later, Queen Aura was relative to Countess Marquez Octavia in a room in the rear palace.

Mrs. Octavia's role is that of tutor of Wang Jinjiro Karpua. Because of this, I meet with Yoshijiro regularly, but the chances of seeing Aura face to face are surprisingly low.

But there's no way we're not seeing each other at all. Originally, it was Aura who put 'tutors' on Sanjiro, so I have a duty to keep an eye on the process. I can't assign work to my husband, even as Aura, to not knowing to what extent Kojiro has acquired courtesy, knowledge, and upbringing.

For this reason, roughly once a month, Aura was thus setting aside time for a meeting with Mrs. Octavia to report on her progress.

The queen looks from the front at the Countess, who laid down her hips opposite the long table, and cuts out into a single direct entry.

"Shall I hear the report, then? How's your son-in-law's education going?

To the Queen's words, which make her feel majestic, even quiet, the glossy brunette lady smiles small in her mouth and returns her affirmative words.

"Yes, as always, Master Zenzilow is highly motivated to learn and always takes it seriously. Now, as Your Majesty has instructed, I am here to teach you courtesy of the man in sight."

"Hmm. How far along are we?

"Yes, for now, if it's a general answer in a public place, you can already do it without a problem. I'm still somewhat anxious about answers out of stereotype, but I was wondering if I would commit a major lapse. The problem is, you're the answer in a private setting. This is still a challenge."

Yoshijiro has so far put behind him his courtesy of the 'man of sight'. For Sanjiro, the "King's Mate", there is only Aura, the Queen, in the Kingdom of Karpua.

For this reason, we have given priority to thorough courtesy for the "person under the eye" and the "person of the same rank", but from now on, we need courtesy for the "person under the eye".

Needless to say why. It is for a visit to the two kingdoms of Shalova Jilbaer, which has been planned since Yoshijiro began.

By the time Aura gives birth to her second child, she will have the magic of "instant mobility" to set up a system where she can call the 'healers' of the Pope Gilbert family. It is necessary to visit the capital of the two kingdoms in advance in order to achieve such a good jiro's purpose, but it is imperative to see the two kings of the two kingdoms - the king and the pope - together, assuming that the king and his wife, Sanjiro, will visit the two kingdoms.

In other words, even if Yoshijiro meets the magic of "instantaneous mobility," Yoshijiro cannot fulfill his purpose without a courtesy for those in sight. Aura is not so rigid a man as to send to another country a man who does not know how to give thanks to those in sight, as the representative of the country.

"In the meantime, how long will it take to plant another country to the point where there's no problem with making it a respectful visit?

My husband is doing everything he can for himself and the children he is going to have. The queen, feeling the joy of having her back swollen, asks that of her husband's tutor, striving to remain faceless.

"Yes, if I can wear it with the same amount of educational time as I've had, I know I'll wear it, roughly as long as I have at least no problems in a month. Just..."

"Hmm? Just what? Tell me."

The queen tilts her neck slightly to encourage ahead in the rare clouding of words by Mrs Octavia, who always returns a clear answer.

The dark-haired lady, once she exhales small, opens her mouth as if she had decided to.

"It's just that Master Zenzilow is not a born royalty like His Majesty. We are gradually filling that difference with a very high willingness to study, but our standing behavior is already complete with something that is not royal.

Master Zenzilow only acquires the skill of 'behaving as royalty'. I know it's a good idea not to forget that, but let me advise you. "

"Hmm...?

The queen puts her hand on her chin and often thinks of the words that Lady Octavia said.

"I mean, that's the only burden on your son-in-law to take action as royalty, is that what you're trying to say?

"Yes, it must be a natural act for His Majesty to be unconscious, but for Master Zenzilow, it is a skill that must be conscious and nervous from one to ten."

By analogy, would it be a little easier to understand when it comes to taking it to Aura and standing officially as a royalty is a burden to the extent that modern Japanese 'eat well with chopsticks and tea bowls', whereas for Sanjiro it is a burden to the extent that 'eat well with a fork knife spoon'?

Whereas courtesy in an official setting for Aura is only on the line of extension of words and deeds of everyday life, it is a special standing behavior of a completely different dimension from everyday words and deeds for Sanjiro.

Not to think of the difference, just look at the superficial fact that it is "made," and if Aura imposes just the same official duties on Yoshijiro as she does, Yoshijiro will not go far and flake.

The queen, who understood the correctness of Mrs Octavia's point advising her so, nodded one small way.

"Understood. Precious advice, thank you. Octavia, your loyalty must be rewarded in some way."

"It's a waste of time."

To the Queen's words, the young Countess slowly lowered her head as she gently flushed her long, matte dark hair.

"I know about the courtesy. So, what's going on with magic technology? As for magic, I also teach a little at night, but I would also like to hear about your progress."

Then, to the queen who asks so, the governess of the king and his wife answers in an unparalleled tone, as if he had prepared an answer from the beginning.

"Yes, ever since I woke up to my magic vision abilities, I have mainly spent time training in magic output manipulation. Dear Mr. Zenzilow, I take this very seriously, but frankly, the results are not encouraging. I'm afraid I'm going to put my lack of instruction on the shelf, but I think I should switch to certain spell mastery rather than spend any more time on magic output manipulation"

"Hmm, still? It's a little unfortunate, but it's a fair place."

To Mrs Octavia's report, the queen shook her neck vertically as she was immediately convinced, although she wrinkled a little between her brows.

Spell activation requires pouring the right amount of magic, but the ability to 'adjust magic power output' ruthlessly says a significant part of talent.

Of course, if we train every day, as Yoshijiro does now, we will definitely get better for it, but the rate of improvement stems from our natural talents, and to some extent for those without talent, walls exist.

In fact, Aura herself, because she doesn't like to squeeze output, on the other hand, she's good at 'space-time magic' and some fire magic that requires great magic, and on the other hand, she can barely use day-to-day, frequently used, small-magic spells like 'water purification' and 'fire'.

Even so, it may resemble the practice of letters. If we take the practice of writing and writing seriously, anyone will be able to write some letters, but it really takes a natural talent to work as a 'calligraphy' or be called a 'masterpiece'.

In the same way, I am certain that the ability to adjust magic power output will only be better if practiced, but talent will say something to be able to naturally adjust the output corresponding to every spell enough to put it on the job of 'Wizard'.

"Then you need to remember the spells that are frequently used as a matter of priority. How exactly should we go to 'Moment Travel' next......?

The queen puts her right hand on her chin and thinks.

Wearing the magic power output of a particular spell as a priority is like ending up practicing certain characters when it comes to practicing letters.

Even if the characters in general are poor, the same logic is that if you concentrate and practice only commonly used strings, such as "your name" or "seasonal greeting," only those characters will be more than crowded.

Of course, you compensate for your lack of talent with a concentration of training, so compared to a really talented wizard, the number of spells you can master is overwhelmingly low.

Aura's opinion that the necessary spells should be remembered as a matter of priority is therefore extremely legitimate.

"Yes, I was wondering if that would be all right"

"Okay. After this, my son-in-law came. I will now return to the royal palace, but I will not have to practice magic for some time from today. My son-in-law's magical mastery revolves around" bloodline magic, "the late, for a while I direct my instruction."

"Yes, I understand."

The courtesy tutor who obtained permission from the Queen to leave, in a sophisticated manner that did not betray her title, bowed her head to flow when she stood up on the spot and dropped off the Queen who walked away.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

Just moments before Yoshijiro returned to the rear palace after completing his face-to-face meeting with Prince Francesco, Queen Aura, who finished hearing from Lady Octavia, was on her way to the royal palace just as badly.

Sanjiro, who had hoped to be able to meet his wife face-to-face even in a very short time, was told about it by a samurai from the rear palace and sounded his tongue a little unfortunately, but immediately regained his mind and headed to the room.

"You kept me waiting, Mrs. Octavia."

"No, not at all, Master Zenzilow"

In the room, a beautiful tutor, who had previously held a meeting with Queen Aura, greeted Yoshijiro in an elegant position.

As usual, Hayajiro takes his seat first, then Mrs. Octavia sits down face to face with the permission of Hayajiro, but he's a little different here these days.

Mrs. Octavia leans softly next to Sanjiro, who maintains upright immobility, and, aware of 'the presence of a fictional king sitting face to face', mentors Sanjiro.

"'Your Majesty' has already come about his seat. Please raise your eyes a little bit. In front of kings of other nations, Master Zenzilow is certainly a present, but his ascent and descent are by no means significant. Laying your eyes down is if there is a slightly more difference in the floor position. Yes, yes, that's about it. Because you're going to gaze at your throat roughly enough from your opponent's chin, and if you distract your chin too much, this time they'll take it badly."

Under the guidance of Mrs. Octavia, Yoshijiro moves her face subtly.

The content is extraordinarily detailed compared to the instruction received so far. It is natural when taken for granted. For Sanjiro, king of the kingdom of Karpua, the kingdom of the great power, when it comes to the 'man in sight', this no longer exists except the king of another country. Even the former king and the king prince are equal to Yoshijiro.

In other words, 'the visible' refers only to the kings of equals other countries. It is also natural that instruction for this will be detailed and rigorous.

Mrs. Octavia conveys the words of the 'fictional king' to Sanjiro.

"Your Majesty, sit down and say, Master Zenzilow."

"Ha, excuse me"

In response to that word, Yoshijiro finally lowers his back to the chair. The way you do it and the procedure for sitting in a chair basically doesn't make that difference even in front of the king.

Meanwhile, the language is completely different. However, because it is close to respectful language, it is rather less uncomfortable for Good Jiro than the verbal attitude towards those under his control who use it in the Royal Palace on a daily basis.

"Yes, fine. If you're strong, it would have been better to lower your back a little deeper."

Although it was the tension, the study of etiquette was progressing relatively well.

"... Your Majesty has been withdrawn. So, that's enough courtesy classes, Master Zenzilow."

In response to the declaration that the fictional king has left the room, Yoshijiro looses a little of his shoulder power.

"It was brilliant, Master Zenzilow. Earlier, if you were invited to the royal palace of another country, there wouldn't be a bigger problem."

"Right. With Mrs Octavia's assurance, that's comforting. Of course, it's forbidden to be alarmed."

As a tutor, Yoshijiro loosens his cheeks slightly. Because Mrs Octavia is a typical 'praise and stretch' tattoo leader, the praise itself is not so rare, but even if there is excessive praise, she does not lie specifically. I guess the fact is more than that Mrs Octavia affirmed that "there will be no major problems".

As for Sanjiro, who plans to visit another country in the not-too-distant future, I really appreciate the ink.

The beauty tutor watches over Yoshijiro, pretending to be faceless but not able to hide his delight, with the kind of eyes he sees flattering things. Depending on the person who does it, it can be taken maliciously. In the case of Lady Octavia, a sweet beauty, few men take it maliciously.

"I will now go on to explain the two kingdoms. May I, Master Zenzilow?"

"Um, here we go."

To Mrs Octavia's words, Yoshijiro nods back small.

As soon as the preparations are investigated, it is an open fact that Sanjiro intends to visit the two kingdoms, although it has not been officially announced, nor is he particularly willing to hide them.

In the first place, there is no one to the detriment of being able to come and go with the two kingdoms by remembering "Moment Travel".

In time for Aura's second child birth, Yoshijiro is about to get to meet the "Moment Travel" to bring in a healer from both kingdoms, but if Yoshijiro is able to bring in a healer from the Pope Gilbert family on "Moment Travel," Aura is not the only one to benefit from it. The magic of Aura, the queen, is a power that serves as the backbone of the country, so it is not easy to use, but the magic of Yoshijiro, the king's mate, is a little more accommodating.

If a person has suffered a life-threatening injury or illness, he or she can call a healer from both kingdoms if he or she asks Sanjiro. That would be a great heart support for the nobility of the Kingdom of Karpua. In fact, by the time there were more royalties before the Great War, there were numerous royalties who had thus come and gone between the two kingdoms and the Karpua kingdom.

Of course, getting Pope Zilbert's "healer" on the Carpua Royal "Moment" costs a hell of a lot of money. Even grand aristocrats such as the Marquis of Lara, the Marquis of Gijen, the Boundary Uncle of Ghazir and the Count of Marquez are just enough economic losses to be described as' painful '.

A small or medium-sized aristocrat would have to give up the sum.

But it's never a bad thing to be able to hold a handout where life can be picked up with money. At the very least, we can connect 'One Hope'.

Mrs. Octavia therefore actively imparts knowledge of the two kingdoms to Sanjiro.

"As Zenzilow knows, the two kingdoms are unparalleled countries on the southern continent, where the two royals stand side by side."

There are other examples of large countries taking control of the surrounding small countries and becoming 'de facto united kingdoms', but it is said that only the two royal kingdoms are officially present within one country.

"In the southern continent? Does that mean it's different on the North Continent?

Mrs Octavia concurs with the simple question of Yoshijiro.

"Right. Some royals on the northern continent do not have lineage magic, so they say there is no united kingdom by more than one nation between such countries. But the example of multiple royals with pedigree magic ruling one country doesn't sound familiar. It should not have existed in the past either.

If you go back to the ancient days when there was no exact history, you hear that the superpower, once known as the White Empire, which ruled the North, consisted of twelve royal families, but this is a complete fairy tale already. In fact, we have not found any evidence to support the existence of the White Empire, so only so many strangers believe in the reality of the White Empire among wise men, scholars "

"I see."

If I told you, Yoshijiro was convinced that the White Empire was the Taguchi of "Ancient Atlantis", "Ancient Moo" and "Summer Dynasty". I guess that means that every world has a race that wants romance for "supercivilization that once existed, superior to modern times".

It's not that I wasn't interested in talking about that hand either, but from the current subject matter, it's clearly out of line.

"So you're saying that the two kingdoms of Sharova Zilbaer are countries with no other specific power structures without real examples"

Mrs. Octavia smiles and agrees with Yoshijiro, who returns to the conversation.

"Yes, Master Left. For this reason, when visiting the two kingdoms, there are a number of caveats, different from when visiting other countries.

First of all, there are two royal palaces in the king's capital of the two kingdoms. It is the 'Purple Egg Palace' of the Royal Sharois and the 'St. White House' of the Pope Zilbert family. As a matter of course, there is only one human body, so any national guest who visits the Twin Kings capital for the first time must choose which royal palace to visit first. "

(Wow, I wonder why you make such a mean choice...)

Yoshijiro had to do everything in his power to curb his attractive expression.

That would be so. Visitors must order the two royal families that stand side by side. Pretty mean if you think about it normally.

However, due to such a slight change in the expression of Good Giro, Mrs. Octavia, who reads the idea, laughs elegantly and denies the concerns of Good Giro.

"That said, of course there are certain stereotypes. The categories" Royal Charois of Home Affairs "and" Pope Gilbert's House of Diplomacy "have been developed, so the average visitor will have no problem if he visits the 'St. White House' of the House of Gilbert first. Naturally the Pope Gilbert family is also a priority for those who come to have the 'healing technique' applied.

Conversely, visitors to the purchase of demonic props visit the Shalova Royal Family first.

The exception is the visitor for the purpose of purchasing the 'Secret Stone of Healing', isn't it? That's all the Royal Sharois and the Pope Zilbert family create together, so both families have equal rights. Because of this, those who want to buy the "Secret Stone of Healing" are forced to negotiate very hard. "

In doing so, the two kingdoms have raised the value of the 'secret stone of healing' to serve as an addition to their finances or as a weapon of diplomacy, but it has not much to do with Good Jiro around it.

The problem was Mrs Octavia's next words.

"In any case, in the case of Master Zenzilow, there is a clear purpose for forming friendships with the Pope Zilbert family, so I know that it would be fine if we went straight for the 'St. White House' without thinking about the difficult things.

If you first send a letter from here that you wish to visit, the two royal families should send you an invitation at the same time, but that's a formality. Unless there's more to it than that, the Shalova Royal Family should step back as soon as they show understanding. "

To reassure her, she was Mrs. Octavia, grinning, but Yoshijiro finally returned her words without shaking her voice.

"... I see"

(I mean, if there's so much reason, the Shalova royal family won't back down either, right? The reason for "caging royalties from other countries that enclose the conferral magical lineage" is probably in "How Many Reasons"...... it will be)

Whatever you think, it seems unlikely that the Shalova royal family will miss the visit to the 'Holy White House' first.

Nevertheless, we cannot teach the circumstances behind that to the lady in front of us, the wife of this leading nobleman.

Yoshijiro squeezes the power of his whole body and replies with a voice disguised as calm.

"Well, that doesn't sound like a problem."

"Yes, Master Zenzilow"

The dark-haired lady, who was not even supposed to know the diplomatic content behind the exchange between the Karpua and Sharova royals, replied with a smile so innocent that she could even say it was disproportionate from her age.
