Risou no Himo Seikatsu

After that evening.

Yoshijiro was in a room in a completely dark royal palace, waiting quietly for people. If it had been originally planned, it would have been time to return to the rear palace, but the schedule had been rescheduled quickly.

This is a very rare thing. First and foremost, it is rare for Yoshijiro, who has not done as much work as Aura, to remain in the royal palace until the falling hours of the day, and it is even more rare for Yoshijiro's schedule to change along the way.

Now if it is Prince Francesco or Princess Bona that we are going to meet, we can also be convinced, "Oh, that prince again has mentioned that he has no clap whatsoever," but it is Secretary Fabio, the belly of Queen Aura, that Makoto is going to meet.

"Something must have happened. That's pretty bad, too."

Sanjiro leaks a potpourri and so much to himself, lit red by a vanishing sunset that plunges through the window and the flames of a burning oil dish on the table.

Sanjiro is not a particularly savvy person, but he is also not an extremely dull person.

I can imagine so much that if my plans were changed rapidly and the man who is Aura's belly was told that he needed to talk to him "without turning Aura over", there would have been some sort of emergency. I took confirmation just in case, but it is also clear to Queen Aura that Yoshijiro will have a place to discuss this with Secretary Fabio.

"I don't know what happened, but if Fabio's the only one coming to me without Aura, does that mean Aura can't get her hands off me now, either? An emergency that Aura and I each have to take elsewhere. This is finally important."

So whining Yoshijiro's speculation is muscular, but unfortunately completely off target.

At this point Aura is already back in the rear palace. Aura didn't come. One secretary Fabio signed up for an interview with Sanjiro in order to make a story in Aura that was difficult to explain without mixing private minds.

The only reason Sanjiro didn't think of that possibility was because that's how much Sanjiro trusts a human being named Aura, both capably and personally.

"Excuse me, Master Zenzilow. Thank you for waiting."

A fine middle-aged man arrived to tell him a story that would only shake up a little bit of such a full confidence in Sanjiro's wife after the sunset that plunged him out the window completely sank.

The royal palace samurai, who came in with Secretary Fabio, closes the wood door and lights an additional oil dish instead, before leaving the room in a courtesy.

The figure of Secretary Fabio, who is illuminated by the flames of Yurayura and the swinging oil dish, is frankly creepy. When a fine, faceless middle-aged man stands in good posture and without fine motion, he creates an inhuman atmosphere somewhere.

To be honest, I'm not the one you want to be alone in such a dark chamber.

"Let me ask you something. You don't want time with me at such times."

Sitting deeply on a chair made of wood and jaws, Yoshijiro cut out so as he looked up from the bottom at the face of the secretary standing opposite him.

To the words of the master's husband, the middle-aged secretary, small and gracious,

"Ha. I beg your pardon and be frank. Turns out there's this unknown 'second daughter', Lady Nilda, at the Borderline House in Ghazir. As a result, Lucinda's" eldest daughter ", Zenzilow's side room, has become a realistic story at once."

"Huh!?... let's hear more"

Sanjiro, who in an instant became a rugged face, prompted him to explain so with a brittle faceless expression that could not hide his agitation at all, even in the dim darkness.

Fabio, who originally performs the job of secretary, specializes in summarizing the main points of the story and communicating them to others.

Because of this, Sanjiro, who was briefed by Secretary Fabio, easily understood the situation in which he was placed.

In fact, Uncle Ghazir had a daughter of my own.

Its raw daughter is a nobleman with a history of associating her name with the "roster" of the Kingdom of Karpua, but Aura was unaware of its existence due to the effects of the partial loss (not finalization) of the "roster" during the earlier wars.

Chabiel Ghazir and General Pujol, with face-to-face knowledge, had been informed of his presence from Chabiel's mouth. For this reason, following the remark of Queen Aura that "Yoshijiro is showing interest in Lucinda", she moved her marriage partner on the spot from Lucinda, her eldest daughter, the son of her rightful wife, to Nilda, her second daughter, who is an illegitimate child.

As a result, Lucinda remained unmarried and the information that "Yoshijiro showed interest in Lucinda" spread to General Pujol, Chabiel Ghazir as well.

Sanjiro is not stupid enough to be asked all this information to understand his position.

With a deep wrinkle between his eyebrows, Yoshijiro confirms to his wife's secretary in a low voice.

"I know the approximate circumstances. Assuming you said" I want to see you once "from me, it would be a decision for me to meet Miss Lucinda more than this happened. On top of that, answer frankly. Does it leave me with the option of not eventually welcoming Miss Lucinda into the sideroom?

In that case, my bad reviews may rise as much as they do. Instead, is it possible to say no, with minimal real harm to His Majesty Aura, the royal family and the kingdom, and no real harm if you speak of greed?

To the question of the King's Mate, the Queen's secretary answers instantly, as if he had prepared an answer from the beginning.

"It's possible. After face-to-face with Master Lucinda, you should make it difficult for Master Zenjiro not to be present and break the story. Unfortunately, you can't use the biggest offense."

Needless to say the biggest offense is Lucinda's age. The age of being past the mid twenties can generally be a good reason to break up a marriage, but not this time. Yoshijiro needs to find somewhere else to add difficulty than he says "I want to see you once" after knowing Lucinda's age beforehand.

"Master Zenzilow rejects Master Lucinda with" one sided my best, "His Majesty Aura enters that arbitration in a visible way, and still Master Zenzilow does not change his mind. If that's the way it goes, except for Master Zenzilow's personal reputation, he'll be able to cut through with minimal scratches."

"Right."

To Yoshijiro, who leaked his breath of relief, the detailed secretary continues his words to cut off that hope.

"Dear Mr. Zenzilow, however, your personal reputation will undoubtedly fall to its worst. And, as things stand, the very loss of Master Zenzilow's reputation is the damage to His Majesty the Aura and hence to the Karpua royal family.

Master Zenjiro doesn't seem to be aware of anything right now, but now Master Zenjiro does a lot of work in the name of His Majesty Aura. But after Master Zenzilow's reputation has fallen to that point, it will also be difficult to do his famous job without any problems, as it is now. It will remain the burden of His Majesty Aura. "

"Mm..."

Secretary Fabio hangs on to Shinjiro, who makes a difficult face.

"I add, this is my personal view, that I think it is possible for Master Zenzilow to" not welcome Master Lucinda into the side room "this time, but isn't it impossible to" not have one side room "throughout his life? At least, as Master Zenzilow said earlier, can we affirm that it is absolutely impossible to achieve" without disturbing His Majesty the Aura, the Royal Family or the Kingdom "?

…………

Good Jiro, who had been poked at clarity and reality, often lost his word.

It is something that I knew would happen. There is only one thing a man named Yoshijiro should be asked to do as a king. It's all about making one and all heirs to Blood Magic.

Of course, it is by no means pointless to do work in the name of the queen or to benefit the royal family, the kingdom, with the tools and knowledge brought in from different worlds.

But it is the same part where a general of the National Army, in fact, is also strong in politics or a civilian who fights paperwork, secretly also hits a bow arm, "gets a positive fix on the rating for that matter, but is away from the base of the rating" part.

So far, Sanjiro has received quite a bit of recognition, other than because he and Queen Aura are doing well and setting up First Prince Carlos = Sanjiro.

To Gojiro, who has lost his word, Secretary Fabio adds to follow up a little.

"As we assumed before the summons, if there was enough blood intensity to barely provide a user of pedigree magic with His Majesty Aura, it would not have created a side chamber problem either, but if Master Zenzilow himself was thick enough to use 'space-time magic', the side chamber problem would be inevitable.

The status quo, with only three heirs to Blood Magic, cannot be described as normal in the great powers of the Southern continent. "

"... you mean it's no use fighting Miss Lucinda's side room?

To Sanjiro, who speaks hard with a hard expression, the secretary waves his fine face small and sideways,

I'm saying, "No, don't mistake the prerequisites. I don't need one side room or anything like that. Zenzilow's" All My Life "doesn't work. I'd like you to think about this one on the assumption that someone will have to take a side chamber one day.

Given the premise that you don't need a side chamber or anything like that, let Lucinda's people and the surrounding environment be completely pointless to take from Master Zenzilow. But if you don't want to, but you have to take the side room any time soon, will the interview with Lucinda be somewhat meaningful? "

Yes, I advised him calmly.

In other words, instead of rejecting it reflexively, he says we should deal with a person named Lucinda Ghazir and draw conclusions after some understanding of his personality and appearance.

If you look at the assumption that the fate of eventually taking a side chamber is unavoidable, a woman named Lucinda Ghazir may also be the best choice as a side chamber. If you refuse Lucinda here and are caught up to a point where you can't possibly pick up the side room any more at a later date, "Oh, you should have chosen Lucinda there if this were the case," it's too late to regret it.

"Of course, there can be incompatibilities with Master Lucinda, so let's also have the option of rejection. But that's the story of 'rejecting Master Lucinda'. I dare to complain that 'Side chambers reject unconditionally' is not dangerous"

Having said that, Secretary Fabio bowed his head precisely like a machine.

…………

Sanjiro meditates his eyes silently and stiffens his body so that he can endure pain.

Secretary Fabio's words are probably a very general opinion of the nobility of this country. It is a direct word, not conveyed by Aura, who is reluctant to Shinjiro.

(If you ask me, surely the aristocrats who recommend me to the side chamber only said something that assumes' having a side chamber '...)

With his eyes meditating, Yoshijiro recalls the words he has said to the nobles so far in the social world.

"What does Master Zenzilow want from a woman?" "After all, women like His Majesty Aura are your preference, right?" "No, Master Zenzilow is tough. Who will be the next woman to shoot Lord Zenzilow in the heart?"

Nobles who introduce their daughters and relatives, as well as daughters who sell themselves in, always said something on the assumption that it was certain that Yoshijiro would have a side room in the future.

Even if my hopes may not be fulfilled, it is a possibility that I will be crossed over by my competitors, and I do not envisage the result of 'zero side chamber test passers'. That's what I'm saying.

(The complete rejection of the side chamber is the path of Tsu...)

Still, if you have eyes, you want to try that tsubaki path, which is Sanjiro's honest sentiment, but if you think calmly, you can understand that Secretary Fabio's words are correct.

Sunjiro, who finally opens his eyes, tries to speak to a secretary who is not slight, in a voice disguised as calm.

"Okay. Your advice, I do carve it in my chest. Is it because of that bitterness that you told me this one on one, not your majesty Aura?

Aura is a person who prioritizes judgment as a public person, not a sweet person by mistake, but only against Sanjiro, she is reluctant. Well, given Aura's position, the decision is never wrong even as a public servant, because making a mistake with her husband and king's wife, Sanjiro, is something we must avoid even if we set aside all the difficulties.

I guess that's why a secretary loyal to this queen took the place of a suggestion to Aura that would undermine the mood of Good Jiro. To Yoshijiro, who hits so hard, Secretary Fabio unusual, slackened his fleshy thin lips into the form of a grin.

"Well, you'd be lying when it comes to not having that intention. But the reason it was the Lord. If we talk in detail about this one matter, we really need to touch on the death of His Majesty the Generation earlier. It will not be possible for His Majesty to explain the area without personal interest, so I have been helpful in explaining it to you in a different way."

"Earlier generations, His Majesty Sancho I? You were a same-bellied brother to His Majesty Aura. Is it difficult for His Majesty Aura to explain the story of the death of his real brother without sharing his feelings?"

To Secretary Fabio's words, Makiro shows understanding, but the secretary's answer was not.

"No, that's not true. The reason why it is difficult for His Majesty Aura to talk about the matter without exchanging personal feelings is not because of the blood connection, but more simply because His Majesty Aura is' one of the parties'"

"Huh!?"

In a position where even the thin lights of the flames can easily be seen, Yoshijiro reveals his surprise.

"Party? Does that mean that His Majesty Aura was also present on the battlefield where His Majesty Sancho was killed in battle?

In the war ahead, I hear that Aura also ran through the battlefield as a general, but when I hear the specifics, the surprise still comes first.

Secretary Fabio agrees on one small, faceless look.

"Yes, very few people know the details of that battle. That battlefield, which was" night warfare "," riot warfare "and" fierce warfare ", was so much so that even those who participated, soldiers and junior commanders, could not explain where they were doing what.

On the side of the Kingdom of Karpua, the only people who understand the details will be His Majesty Aura and the Marquis of Lara, and these three of me.

In an overnight battle, two kings of enemy allies died in battle, one of the most notable battles of the previous wars. If we were to define the winner of that battle, that would be the equivalent of Her Majesty Queen Aura - then Her Royal Highness the Princess.

It's a little long story, would you like to hear it?

Even though his expression, voice and emotional color were devoid of shards, to the questioning of his strange and oppressive secretary, Yoshijiro swallowed his gokuri and spit, shaking his neck vertically.

"Oh, let me hear it"

That word, which I intended to utter when I was ready, was nevertheless slightly faint.
