Risou no Himo Seikatsu

"In short, I imagine it hit 90% of the way. The only thing I would have misunderstood was that during that night's events," The Battle Death of Sancho "was truly unexpected to me."

With an unwavering expression and a calm voice, the Queen begins her explanation.

Though the tone is close to a private tone, the atmosphere emanating from that body is that, itself, when you are acting as queen in the royal palace.

As suppressed by such a queen's intimidation, Yoshijiro also fixes his sitting position and listens to Aura's words with a mysterious expression.

"If Sancho sticks to his brother's enemies, he would have succeeded in destroying the enemy country not far away, but at the same time the kingdom of Karpua would be reduced. It's no surprise that if you do badly, another country will attack you and the Kingdom of Karpua will perish. Sancho's paranoia, so obsessed with hostility, was bad for the country."

"Yeah, I know that"

To Aura's explanation, Yoshijiro shakes his head small and vertical.

"But there was a country that was more tormented than our country by Sancho's paranoia. You know where it is?

"Hostile targets. Enemy country, right?

Sanjiro replied instantly to a question that could not be called Aura's question.

That's a conclusion I don't even have to ask. Sancho I's paranoia is a foolishness that leads to the weakening of the Karpua kingdom and, in some cases, to the demise of the country, but before that, the enemy nation will perish. Even if the kingdom of Karpua is also destroyed afterwards, it will not be a great consolation for the enemy nation.

In that sense, perhaps the stupidest thing I have done is to deceive Sancho's beloved brother King - Enrique IV, the enemy king.

The queen nods heavily.

"That's right. So at that time, as we did in the enemy countries, the Armistices existed. In this case, the Armistices, though enemies, have the same purpose. There is room to tie hands. No, to be precise, I can say that he was the one who had to join hands for the purpose"

The result of the truce is not something that can be reached only by factions on one side. It is the result that the two factions during the fighting will never reach unless they announce it in unison.

For this reason, it is rather even inevitable that the cease-fires in both countries join hands behind it. But on the face of it, the enemy nations are one another. I'm not talking about anything I can brighten up.

"I'll skip the details, but we secretly negotiated with the armistices of the enemy country. With a common perception that we want to reach a truce as soon as possible, we and the armistices of the enemy countries have decided to join hands behind us and eliminate the 'total belligerents' of the two countries that are obstacles to a truce"

…………

To the Queen's confession, Yoshijiro gobbles his thirsty throat.

It's nothing but "murdered an ally through an enemy country."

Even if the queen of the victorious kingdoms who survived the war period can't possibly not have her hands stained with blood. It's a fact that I knew by my head, but when I'm told by my own mouth, I still get up a little bit. It is all the more true that the man who pointed the blade of the plot was not an enemy country, but a companion.

The queen continues without changing her complexion, even in the way her husband consolidates herself to nervousness.

"The story of the great muscle was easy to decide. Let's start by spreading false information here that we" perceived the enemy's night-time actions, "causing a night-time raid. Enemy forces ambushed the night attack. This night assault unit has been beaten to pieces, and my reinforcements have arrived. Hit the enemy ambush unit the other way. That's what I was saying."

Needless to say, the "night raiders" of the Kingdom of Karpua and the "ambushes" of the enemy countries are the "thorough belligerents" of the two countries that are the targets of the murders.

Of course, there are a large number of dead, not only to the 'total belligerents' greats who want to kill, but also to the soldiers in general who are fighting beneath them, beyond taking the form of warfare by turns.

But forgive the damage, but if we do not reach an early ceasefire, the damage to the soldiers will not end to that extent. Aura made that decision.

"So it was the treatment of the kings of both countries that was at issue. Fortunately, what is it, when it comes to murdering the king over there, there was not so much of a problem. The king at the time, the sharp vanguard of total belligerency, and the king brother of the Armistice - the current king - were originally unfamiliar. Even there, if we could get to a truce, it would have been 'cheap stuff' about the king's neck.

The problem is this king's neck. "

Even if taken to the kingdom of Karpua, Sancho I, adamant in his brother's enemies, is, of course, a troubled monarch.

But that's why it's easy to rule it out, and the situation doesn't allow it. At this time, Sancho I was the only royal family of men who already had the ability to be children.

To that explanation, Yoshijiro leans his neck wonderfully.

"Is that it? Then who's Carlos II to succeed?

"Uncle Carlos had a major illness when he was an infant, resulting in an incapable body. Additionally, he had a frequent fever afterwards and was a body that wasn't strange whenever he died. Therefore, the right to inherit the throne was also low for birth."

In response to Sanjiro's question, the queen shrugged her shoulders a little and replied with a voice that killed her emotions.

"That is why, for our country, it is extremely dangerous to keep Sancho on the throne as it is, but also to lose Sancho, given the direction of leaving 'pedigree magic' for the next generation. The best thing was to keep Sancho away from the enemy."

Sancho I's will is harmful to the country, but Sancho I's personality - in a more direct way, I want to leave that "reproductive capacity" if I can for the future of the country.

From such a slightly better idea of insects, the means chosen by Aura was to "destroy the 'thorough belligerents' in the country, except Sancho himself".

The Kingdom of Karpua is, once and for all, a feudal state. Royal authority is so strong that it cannot be compared to the feudal nations found in medieval Europe and elsewhere on Earth, but it still does not mean that the king is absolute.

After the burial of the heavy towns of the 'total belligerents', who subscribe to the King, it is possible to modify the kingdom's national politics on track if the Aura-centric Armistice strongly appeals to the need for a truce. In doing so, Aura decided at that time that priority should be given to the survival of a man with precious pedigree magic, even considering the downside, when a bad precedent would arise for national politics to have been pursued against the king's will.

"Sancho's front-line commanding ability was not high. So, even if you take command of the whole thing, you never lead a soldier and jump to the front line where you can cross spears yourself. Not until that night."

As he chewed on the bitter object, Sanjiro confirms to the face queen.

"That's the only time you led your own ambush unit that night during the 'ambush'?

To Yoshijiro's confirmation words, the queen shakes her head small and vertical.

"That's right. So I got off guard, too. Originally, while I was" unaware, "Sancho trusted the bellies - a supposed ploy to move a total belligerent. While I was distancing myself, Sancho, along with his thoroughly belligerent face, went out to set up a night raid."

By the time Aura got that information, Sancho I had already gone out.

"We borrowed soldiers from the Marquis of Lara, who had spoken in advance, and followed them at full speed, but the reinforcements, as originally planned, did not make it. But since Sancho was heard to have gone first, I assumed that Sancho would be killed in action. I don't know what to say, but I was ready.

So even when I got to the battlefield and they heard about Sancho's death in action, I managed to hold back the upset of the whole army and carry things on schedule.

The home of the enemy army and the detailed appearance of the enemy king had been informed by the Armistice faction over there, so they had succeeded in raiding straight home and taking over the enemy king. Well, because Sancho was running upset at the soldiers because of the impact of his death, it was a tougher battle than I expected, and I honestly sweated cold. "

The queen laughs ridiculously at herself for saying so. It is not uncommon for something such as a ploy, no matter how closely planned it was, to end up with the opposite result of intent, simply entangling one or two non-computational elements. With that in mind, this ploy, which did not deviate from the major thrust of sweeping away the 'total belligerents' in both countries and bringing them to an immediate ceasefire, may have worked out one way or the other.

"Because it was a riot at night, we didn't know who took on the enemy king until the end of the day. Some of them named themselves," Maybe it's me, "but the weapon and the wounds of the enemy king didn't match. I was listening to the troops, not knowing who the direct masterpiece was, and I took it down, in the form of"

It is not so uncommon that the person who took the general's head is unknown. Well, Aura is right, all the more so if it is a riot at night.

The enemy king said his throat had been slit to one letter across and he was desperate.

"Later, as Fabio told me. The enemy nation was the king's brother, and the Karpua kingdom was overthrown by a truce faction named Uncle Carlos, who immediately set out to cease fire.

The body of the enemy king was cleansed, wounded, and returned to the enemy country, along with the armor that was wrapped around him during the night war. Instead, by then, with regard to Mount Potosi Silver, a new border and also a source of disturbance, keeping the border line that Sancho was pushing in, as it were, the official statement "Mount Potosi Silver is a thing of the Kingdom of Karpua and our country will not claim that right forever in the future"

Enrique IV, who was deceiving, and Sancho I, who died in battle. Considering the price of losing two kings, it's not a very good deal, but there was a big premise of an immediate ceasefire, so I guess we had to compromise there.

This one has two kings dead. On the other hand, one king died, lost a little territory and was forced to officially renounce ownership of the Great Silver Mountain. Even as the kingdom of Karpua, I can say that I have managed to have a minimum face, that I have ended up with a result.

…………

…………

Often, the hour of silence flows.

As for Aura, I'm done explaining everything. All you have to do later is shut up and wait for your husband to react.

Even as a good jiro, it is not an atmosphere that opens its mouth easily inside, but it is also true that there are various questions when cooled from impact.

Breaking his thoughts silence and coughing one up and toning his throat, Yoshijiro throws an inquiry at his wife with a voice pretending to be as calm as possible.

"In the end, without knowing why Sancho I headed to that battlefield?

The Queen agrees to the inquiry of Kojiro.

"Oh, the truth remains a mystery. At that time, it was a priority to confront a national disaster rather than to reveal the truth, and now there's nothing to be done about it."

Aura's tone to say so somehow sounded like she was telling herself, too.

(Only then was Sancho I participating in the night raid. Maybe three reasons are "just coincidences," "enemy plots," and "plots on the side of the Kingdom of Karpua other than Aura")

Sanjiro guesses so in his head. In fact, the southern continent was in a state of war at the time, so there is also the possibility of a "third-country ploy," but that much to consider makes it completely impossible to narrow it down with Yoshijiro's head.

Either way, Aura says she doesn't know the truth about it, and she's not going to know it in the future.

Aura doesn't try to find out the truth. That in itself serves as a guide.

"Hey, Aura. Even if it's awesome to say this to Aura's brother, but hey, just looking at the results, there are aspects of Sancho I's death in the war there that were good for the whole country?

The queen stiffens her expression softly to the penetrating inquiry of Yoshijiro.

"... right. If Sancho were alive, it might have taken a little longer for the truce, even if he had ruled out all the 'total belligerents'. Besides, I am certain that I did not set a bad precedent for other royal nobles to move their national politics against the Lord of the Throne because of the death of war there.

But that's a theory of results. It is also a fact that the death of Sancho nearly interrupted the heir of 'space-time magic'. I still think it was a failure that killed Sancho. "

"Mm-hmm."

To his mumbling wife, Yoshijiro thinks in his head as he replies.

(I mean, the conclusion that Sancho I will also murder together is that standing by the side of the Karpua Kingdom isn't necessarily a strange decision, is it?)

In terms of connecting pedigree magic to the next generation, it carries great risks, but it also has the advantage of not disrupting national politics during wartime.

Aura took the former, but another human being, it's not strange to take the latter.

"So, what was Aura doing after Carlos II took office? Were you out on the battlefield until then?

"No way. To the boulder. That's all I am, not defenseless. At that point, I became the last person capable of connecting pedigree magic to the next generation. You can't commit danger in case. I worked as an assistant to Uncle Carlos in Wang Du. Well, nevertheless, when the user of 'Momentary Travel' was really required on the front line, etc., it was on the front line several times, but my safety was always a top priority.

If General Pujol or Raffaello Marquez were a little more free, he might have been married at that point. "

?

Aura's words were, in a way, the most shocking thing I've heard tonight for Sanjiro.

So if Aura had married General Pujol or Raffaello Marquez, Good Jiro would not have been called to this world. Naturally, there must have been no way for Sanjiro to marry Aura. If Fate's gear was just a little crazy, I might still be in that company, without even knowing the existence of my beloved wife, spending my days being chased to work.

To such an imagination, Yoshijiro, who was most terrified today, shivers his body so much that he bumps into the question he comes up with.

"Is that it? But then, you didn't come up with the idea of using 'different world summons' in time of war? Of course, being called in wartime wouldn't help me at all, but I don't know what to say, Holla, you can only increase the number of royalties, right?

To Shinjiro leaning his neck, the queen deviates from my line a little deliberately and smiles deeply.

"That's an impossible story in a double sense. In the first place, back then, I forgot to talk about having ancestors who once ran off into different worlds. Although it is an oral tradition that is passed on to the royal family, it was not an important piece of information. Therefore, the idea of using" Summoning the Other World "did not exist in itself.

And "Summoning the Other World" is a rather limiting magic that originally "summons certain people who know they exist from different worlds". The magic needed to be greatly improved in order to be able to summon it unconstitutionally under the condition that "a man in a different world, drawing the blood of a certain darker Karpua royal family".

"Uh? I mean, at that point, there was no magic to summon me, you know. Did you do that magical improvement, Aura? Or the Espiridion of the court-headed wizard?

Somehow, from the flow of the story, after knowing who it was, Yoshijiro deliberately asks Aura. From the look on the face of Yoshijiro, you perceived that you had already reached the truth, and the queen nodded one deep in meaning:

"No, it was Uncle Carlos who did it. My uncle, who had been weak since childhood and couldn't go outside, showed exceptional talent when it came to magic. As much as I was developing multiple new magics, not only space-time magic, but also the four great magics.

I guess such an uncle understood that his body could not withstand the king's intense duties. A hundred and fifty years ago, we studied our ancestors who ran off to the other world, and prepared magic to strike different worlds and subpoena a tribe of blood divided into different worlds.

Well, in fact, my uncle didn't make it to the end of his life to improve the "Summon the Other World," and I finished it. "

Still, when Aura took over, she said the magic was already 90% complete. Aura had more than a year to complete the remaining 10% of the magic that Carlos II had completed during his less than a year in office. That fact also shows that Carlos II, as a magic developer, had outstanding abilities.

"I see..."

If they ask me so far, I can see the big story, even if I'm not as smart as you.

But just in case, Sanjiro asks the last question in order to gain certainty.

"Carlos II is really sick and dead?

"Right. The continued development of magic, while performing the fierce duties of a wartime king, must have rapidly reduced his life, but the ultimate cause of death could be called morbidity or death."

"Didn't you use The Secret Stone of Healing for that disease?

When the queen sighs one big sigh on the couch, she affirms.

"Oh, I didn't use it." I don't deserve to use it ". That's what my uncle said until the end, and he refused to treat me with The Healing Stone."

That was more a word that would determine Kenjiro's speculation than he expected.

(Contrary to Aura's intentions, Sancho I died in battle. But Aura isn't trying to force me to find out the truth. Rather, he refuses to explore the truth.

Carlos II, the king before Aura, was ready to summon the descendants of his ancestors, who once ran down to the other world. Until it diminished its own life, too.

Besides, he refused it even though he had the slightest means to survive. because "I don't deserve that")

There is no physical evidence, but every circumstantial evidence has taught Shinjiro.

It was Carlos II who involved Sancho I in the net of murder.

But it would be useless to question Aura on this matter. Perhaps I really don't know Aura. Of course, Aura can't possibly guess what Yoshijiro can guess. But that's a more convenient fact for Aura not to know.

If you don't know, you don't have to put on the table the emotional lump that your uncle killed your brother, and Aura doesn't have to be involved in the plot that the previous king fell into generations.

A little bit, when it comes to having trouble, maybe you're going to make a snarling face by impersonating Carlos II with a whole case of murdering a 'total belligerent' in itself.

Aura is never a thick-faced, shameless person, but she also understands that as a queen she is better off being ostensibly 'clean'. When it comes to trouble, it's not strange to make that much of a decision.

…………

Various things, Seeing the dark side of his wife as queen, Sanjiro often remains silent.

plots, murders, and blood-to-blood killings. Because there was only one Aura in this country whose royalty was the queen, I had never been able to feel it before, but it still seems that behind the royal family in the other world, there is a blood odor.

Honestly, I don't know how it feels right now, but Yoshijiro is one of those noisy 'royals' now. I guess you shouldn't think it's other HR.

"Zenzilow"

"Hmm? What?

"Are you afraid of me?

Sanjiro, who, while perfectly faceless, looks from the front at his wife's face, where tension can be seen behind him, answers honestly after a little thought.

"Yeah, well, to be honest, you're pretty scary. But that's not what started now, because it started from the beginning."

To Yoshijiro, who laughs at him for saying so, Aura circles her eyes as if she had been poked at the intention.

"Really?

Born and raised as a royalty, the ability to read emotions from people's words and deeds is quite complacent Aura, but I have never felt that Yoshijiro had fear of himself.

However, if you think about it, Aura is capable of killing herself in an instant, both forcefully and powerfully. You can't be scared.

However, fear does not appear on the table on a daily basis because if we discuss it, we can be sure that Aura is an extremely rational person and not one who exercises violence or power, depending on her emotions.

What's more, the biggest thing in the sentiment toward Aura of Yoshijiro is affection. I guess I haven't been squashed and barely passed on by that huge affection, such as tiny fears. It's like a litre of gum syrup mixed with a spoon of coffee.

"Honestly, I'm still a little unrealistic about this one. Maybe I don't understand until I can hold on to my emotions. So far, I wonder if there's been a change in the way you see and feel about Aura."

"Right..."

To her husband's honest answer, the queen unnerved and exhaled in a ho. It's a story I revealed because I trust in the abilities, personality, and spiritual abilities of Sanjiro, but as an Aura, I guess I had the fear that in case they rejected me.

Queen Aura combines her strength to only use the best means rationally, even if she is frightened by her husband, but that is not to say that she feels no pain in being rejected. Where there was enough strength to withstand the pain, what hurts hurts.

Yoshijiro's thoughts on Aura remain the same.

To prove the word, Yoshijiro, rising from the couch opposite him, re-sits on the couch where Aura is sitting. Your feet, feet, shoulders and shoulders are in such a seated position to touch.

Yoshijiro and Aura decide that when they have a conversation in the living room, "serious stories go face to face" and "easy stories go next to each other".

In other words, Sanjiro's behavior, who took a seat across the street and sat back next to him, was a sign of willingness to "talk serious, let's be a little forgiving," and Aura's failure to stop it would have led her to accept the proposal.

"I don't know, it's a lot."

"... right"

Sitting close enough to even feel each other's body temperature, the two exchange words a little too often.

"Oh, yeah. Uh, look, is that it? Oh, yeah, that. He said he would make Japanese clothes. What happened to that one?

"Hmm? Is that it? That one hasn't gone any further. Well, I'll find some free time to show the royal tailor the kimono chassis."

Aura narrows her eyes as she loves Yoshijiro's purposeful public discourse, smashing her mouth.

That I sat next to him trying to stick together. You should also usually enjoy sharing your time in silence, but be bothered to look for topics until you speak up. All a blatant appeal from Yoshijiro.

I haven't changed my mind about Aura. There is no change in the sense of distance between the two.

Aura's expression also softens to the actions of her husband, who insists so strongly.

"Oh well. I'm just talking about hobbies, so I don't need to rush, but I'm looking forward to it."

Sanjiro replies so, turning his right hand to his wife's back and holding him slightly more forcefully.

"Zenzilow?"

Aura leans her neck a little surprised because every day, Zenzilow doesn't take this kind of direct skinship very often.

Of course, except in the bedroom, when you're lenient in the living room, even if you've ever been sitting on the same couch, it's rare to turn your hand or hold it against Aura's shoulders or hips.

Even among the couples, during four or six o'clock, they get stuck breathing in return. In any case, it seems to be a concern for Yoshijiro, who pays attention to his distance from people.

But that's why Yoshijiro now held Aura in his arms.

That's the action that came out of Aura's desire to relieve her anxiety, and it also makes sense to make sure that Yoshijiro himself, his feelings for Aura, aren't really shaking.

Yoshijiro leads his wife's body straight to her knees.

Naturally, but in the arms of Yoshijiro, it is impossible to lift his wife, who is almost the same physique as himself, while sitting down.

"Hmm?

Aura, who perceived the intentions of the attracting Shinjiro, actively rises on Shinjiro's lap and lowers her back sideways.

The queen, who put all her own weight on both her husband's laps, slightly distorted her mouth,

"Are you all right? Doesn't it hurt?

And ask Sanjiro.

If you want to be more precise, say, "Does it hurt? instead of" isn't it heavy? You should ask, "The word is forbidden to Aura.

"Mm, it's okay."

Fortunately, Yoshijiro is right, he doesn't even show a sleigh that looks particularly heavy, and turns his arms on his lap, to the body of his wife, who sat sideways.

"I hope so."

"Yeah, good, good. It doesn't creep."

Savoring the soft body of his loving wife all over her body, Yoshijiro tilts his neck in a way that lowers his brow butt but is not comfortable with anything.

"Is that crazy?

This is what is commonly called a 'knee cuddle' position. Had a bit of an admiration for taking this position with the couple, but when I put the various aura on my lap, the picture is quite different from what I had in mind.

What Yoshijiro assumed was that the sight of a woman and a man sitting on a man's lap was almost the same or just a little higher for a woman, and the two stare at each other, laugh at each other, and hug each other. Innocent, flamboyant, but sweet twisted men and women. That's what Kenjiro's imaginary knee hug was all about.

But in reality, Aura's gaze, sitting on Sanjiro's lap, is far higher than that of Sanjiro, and when Sanjiro lays his gaze horizontally, his wife's rich double breasts pop in front of him. It is also near the point where, if Yoshijiro holds Aura's body a little stronger, his face is likely to be buried in that deep valley.

That draws my gaze in the horizontal direction rather than bending my neck straight up and gazing at my wife because I also love it as a good jiro.

This is definitely a very attractive posture, but no matter how hard you put it, it's far from the word 'innocent' or 'rampant'.

Sanjiro doesn't think, he groans with potpourri.

"I don't know what to say... I feel like I'm getting a 'paid service' in a special store with that hand"

To that soliloquy, his beloved wife on his lap seeps awesomeness into his grin like a little angry.

"Here. I don't know exactly what you're talking about, but I'm pretty sure I'm feeling a little rude right now."

Saying so, lightly with your right hand, I snap Yoshijiro's left cheek.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Sanjiro, whose cheeks were picked a little painfully, remains irresistible and utters a pronounced apology.

"Damn, what was that?"

"Sorry, sorry"

While doing so, until earlier, the slightly giddy air that was flowing between them had disappeared beautifully.
