Risou no Himo Seikatsu

"I see. Living on the border is a lot different than living in the center. The distance between lords and civilians is very close. I'm a little jealous."

"Right. Central - Wang Du has a large number of nobles, so it seems that there are very few opportunities for royalty and high-ranking nobles to deal directly with civilians. Compared to that, the border inevitably frequents the opportunity to exchange words directly with them even in our Lords' clan for a small number of aristocrats. Honestly, it's often a big deal, but it's also a very exciting and meaningful experience."

Afterwards, Yoshijiro and Lucinda Ghazir's "pageant" continued soothingly, perhaps as no one expected.

Speaking of who the credit lies, it is in Lucinda, on the other hand.

Lucinda, who is able to guess with some precision why this place was originally set up, is convinced that there is no future for herself and Zenzilow to be joined from scratch.

Therefore, there are no signs of disappointment even on this occasion where we can talk one-on-one with Yoshijiro. Rather, we want this occasion with the stance of "working together so that we can talk as peacefully as we can, to the extent that there is no blame on our parents" because it does not harm the royal heart certificate.

As a result, Lucinda did not engage in a conversation that would lead to erotic love, but merely interpreted the phrase "Yoshijiro took an interest in himself" as it stood, and remained amused and strange to talk about his recent situation, his daily routine in his hometown, etc.

"The civilians I have the opportunity to exchange words with on a daily basis are about the craftsmen in the backyard. The conversation with them is indeed, very interesting"

"Excellent craftsmanship transcends magic on one side. Some craftsmen have established techniques that combine magic with craftsmanship."

"Their presence is a treasure of the country, isn't it? I hope there is a mechanism to protect and nurture them, to create a successor, and to convey the moves to future generations."

"Basically, I agree. However, if you weigh too heavily on protecting your current moves, you may end up liding the soil that creates new moves in the long run, so that's what's bothering you."

"Sure. But when it comes to considering not only the inheritance of existing technology, but also the protection of the soil of technological development, we are not talking about this at the discretion of the individual. Is all I can do is complain to His Majesty Aura? Your Majesty would have already struck his hand."

"Right. I only know rumors of people because I spent time on the border, but I hear that His Majesty Aura understands the importance of the craftsmen."

"Right. It is superimposed that His Majesty's fame is echoed all the way to the border. I would like to continue to support His Majesty."

"... I'm ready for you."

Praised for Aura, his wife, Lucinda narrows her eyes to see something cute and laughs back small, gladly chested by Sanjiro.

The purpose for which this occasion was set up - in contrast to the premise of an interview with a woman who is a candidate for the side room, it is a little insensitive for Sanjiro to happily put Aura on the subject, but fortunately Lucinda did not seem to be at all offended by Sanjiro's attitude either.

"Master Zenjiro's presence will be a great help to His Majesty Aura. I can assure you that."

Lucinda, who hasn't been in the Wang capital for days, has been asked by the head of Amanda Samurai about the unusual Good Giro and Aura.

In light of that information and the words of Sanjiro here, I have no doubt that the man sitting in front of him is very powerful as the queen's companion.

That is an extremely rare quality in this country.

Lucinda is a typical local lord aristocrat, and therefore a person who puts self-rule first. However, I also understand that it would be better for the country itself to be stable and prosperous in its own territory.

Given that, even for the local nobility, the presence of Yoshijiro would be greatly appreciated.

Queen Aura is a competent exchanger, but it is not uncommon for anyone to rebel just because she is the king of women.

If one can correctly recognize the status quo, one would understand reason in supporting the queen, but whether one can convince even emotions is another matter.

Regardless of the short contact time subordinate, in the case of a companion who joins in the daily routine, the daily life itself becomes stressful if reason alone understands but cannot keep up with emotions.

A man who can have enough strong mental strength to withstand such stress and the means to relieve stress by some means on a regular basis. That was the condition of Lucinda's initially conceived "The Best Man for a Queen's Spouse," but Yoshijiro is a qualified person for a queen's spouse who goes far beyond such a condition.

In the first place, there will be no more qualified people because they are not stressed at all about the position of supporting the Queen.

(Maintain good friendship between Master Zenzilow and His Majesty Aura. That is essential for the stability of this country. Doing so will also lead to stability on the border with Gaza)

The eldest daughter of the Borderline House, who found great significance in the sense of gathering information for this "pageant," narrows her eyes and laughs elegantly.

"Master Zenzilow's likeness is the best way to take it to His Majesty Aura and lean in. And that can also be said to be the best choice for the entire kingdom of Karpua. As it may seem now, thank you again.

The benefits that Zenjiro brings to our country are hard to understand at first glance, but they are more important to our country, called stability. "

"It's no big deal. I'm just behaving the way I want it to be."

To Lucinda's words, Yoshijiro breaks his mouth.

In retrospect, this may be the first time you have fully affirmed your relationship with Aura.

Many people feel an emotional lump in a man who makes it good to stand in the queen's wind, and even those who don't, he brings the story in the direction of "If you're making friends with the queen, it's time to have a side room". This is not even the exception to Queen Aura herself.

Lucinda, however, gave me a full affirmation of such a good jiro way.

It is only because, as the queen's companion, there is a good jiro who supports the woman from behind, loves and loves one queen, that this country is now so stable, despite the unusual situation in which the king is a woman.

"That's why Master Zenzilow is honorable. Don't forget how you feel now, I will not wish you to remain in your relationship with His Majesty forever."

Lucinda lowered her head small with a modest grin.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

She was Lucinda Ghazir, who successfully completed her 'pageant' with Wang Jinjiro, but she has not yet been allowed to leave the royal palace behind.

It was another room in the royal palace that Lucinda headed on its feet.

When Lucinda informs the Kingsguard, who consolidates himself in front of the entrance door, permission to enter the room is granted after a while.

"You've come well. I was asked to accompany my son-in-law's" My All, "and it was great. Let's do it first."

"Yes, Sire Aura"

There's nothing else waiting for Lucinda in that room.

Wife of a man Lucinda had been bickering about until earlier. Queen Aura, it was that person.

I talk to a married man alone, and shortly thereafter the man's wife is questioned.

In modern people's sensibilities, the three-letter "training ground" is a head-on situation, but it is also not unusual to take it apart in the aristocratic society of the southern continent.

Nevertheless, it's about emotional men and women there.

It is not uncommon for a genuine wife to summon a side-room candidate, often in the Karpua kingdom, for 'future nail stabbing' or, if it is bad, 'declaration of war'.

Therefore, Lucinda, called out, was quite nervous under a calm expression. Aware of a disgusting sweat seeping into the palm of your elegantly aligned hands under your desk.

(His Majesty Aura I. I don't think it's a problem to start with because I hear you as a very rational person, both in your father's story and in the information you've collected so far...)

Still forbidden to be alarmed, Lucinda tightens her mind.

It is not uncommon to talk about how even people who are extremely calm and competent in politics and the military cannot control their emotions at all when they become sexually out-of-the-box.

Without knowing such inside Lucinda, the queen starts talking, with the majestic grin of the usual.

"I'll be the first to make it clear that I may be nervous to call you to a place like this all of a sudden, but that's a useless worry. Whatever they say on this occasion, it will not be detrimental to them or to the Ghazir Borderline House on the grounds of it. I want you to answer my question."

"Yes, I understand."

Lucinda bows her head small with an extraordinary attitude, but of course she hasn't pelted Aura's words.

Aura is a relatively honest monarch, but Lucinda also knows enough in her previous life to say she doesn't like that a person involved in politics can't be honest on the upside.

If in the first place it harms the heart of the queen in supreme power, it is already a historical disadvantage in itself. No matter how much Aura herself had the will to keep her promises, if she became disgusted in the depths of her emotions, she would unconsciously avoid that other person.

Even at the unconscious level, that alone creates a disadvantage that cannot be ignored: to be distant to the Queen.

"Well, let's get straight to it, but what kind of talk did they have with Zenzilow? And what was Zenzilow's attitude?

"Yes, Master Zenjiloh, without hesitation, said he was interested in me, so let me mainly tell you about my routine in the outer realm of Ghazir. Mr. Zenjiro's reaction is only my personal opinion, but I think you might have enjoyed it."

"... ho"

To the queen who moves Pickle and One-Eyed Eyebrow, the eldest daughter of the Borderline Uncle family does not break her gentle grin and continues her words.

"I had a great time too. I will not be able to thank Master Zenzilow again in the future because my body will be blocked by the adjustment of my sister's marriage that I have sprung up from down, so please also convey my regards to Her Majesty."

…………

To Lucinda's somewhat blatant statement, the queen keeps an often unnatural silence, although it is the expression that does not change.

Asking Aura, the queen, to give her a message is, strictly speaking, a slightly disrespectful wish. Of course, it's impossible to say that Lucinda doesn't even know that much common sense.

In the first place, Lucinda is a high-ranking nobleman called the Border House of Ghazir. If you want to thank Sanjiro, you are not in a position to meet Sanjiro again if you take enough time following the formal procedures.

Yet it is Lucinda's appeal, "I have no intention of taking this opportunity to deepen my friendship with Master Zenzilow," that I dare ask the Queen to give a message in a way that is a little out of courtesy.

"Hmmm............"

Aura often thinks.

Lucinda's attitude was a little unexpected as Aura.

Rude to say this, but as for Aura, somehow, I didn't expect an unmarried aristocratic woman after her mid-twenties to resign herself from the opportunity to enter the royal sideroom.

(And I also deliberately touched on "Marriage of my sister who came down and sprung up". Can you speculate to the back that my son-in-law showed an interest in himself?

Even if that's too much to think about, there's no doubt that Lucinda is trying to be cautious, distance herself from Yoshijiro, and pass this place by in socio-normative terms.

"Lucinda, as I'm sure you realize, there was an intention in this interview to develop a rapport between Zenzilow and him. What do they think of that?

The queen cuts in with a glance that even if she talks far away, she won't latch.

Didn't you anticipate any direct words that far, Lucinda glanced at her surprise for a moment, but soon regained her original soft grin,

"It's an honor story. But there's too much to talk about when I'm you. Find a young, attractive woman soon more deserving of Master Zenzilow."

That's what I say and turn myself around.

"Sure, I am, and there are so many women who sell in. But it was Zenzilow himself who showed interest."

"My father told me about that, but wasn't that really just an interest? Now that my sister and General Pujols have been married, and the Wang Capital is making a scene, and if you knew this was such a busy time, wouldn't Master Zenjilow have told you that?

Without the marriage story between Nilda and General Pujol, Kenjiro would never have shown any interest in Lucinda either.

Because of that saying, the Queen is convinced this time.

(That's a decision. I don't know where you guessed from, but this woman is convinced that the vernacular that her son-in-law expressed an interest in herself is due to my failure)

Having touched on the essence of a woman named Lucinda Ghazir, Aura finds herself slightly interested in the woman in front of her.

"Right. I understand their claims. So, what kind of woman do you think Zenzilow would deserve if he were her sidekick?

From here on out, a shattered public tale, to claim, the queen, with a slight breakdown in the sitting position, asks the same generation of women sitting so face to face.

"I fool you that it is not a word to be delivered from my mouth to His Majesty's ear"

"What, you don't have to think so hard. It's just a matter of interest. Look, Fabio, you'd be interested, too, wouldn't you?

"Yes, Sire Aura"

The queen looks back and speaks to a fine-faced secretary who stands diagonally behind her.

Even though with the Queen, Fabio, who is only a single secretary, has no right to utter words of his own free will in a public place. By adding the secretary to the conversation, Aura coordinates that the story is a 'private public tale'.

This is irresistible. So enlightened Lucinda takes a small, deep breath that only strengthens her mouth grin a little and utters words.

"I understand. Let me now make my personal observation. Master Zenzilow is best left as it stands. The missing side chamber would be the best side chamber ever taken by Master Zenzilow."

I guess the word was quite unexpected for just the queen. Extremely rarely, Aura reveals a vegan surprise look in front of her subordinates.

"The side chamber... don't you need it?

Lucinda endorses the Queen, who does not hide her surprises, with a slightly more serious look.

"Yes, it is, for one thing, with the help of His Majesty the King, Aura, that the kingdom is now so stable that it has not had as much time since the post-war period. It would be an uncontested fact from anyone that the most important thing for His Majesty the Aura to exert his full power is the royal Antai.

And the two of you, His Majesty Aura and Master Zenzilow as it stands. To this state, who else has been added, it is very small and the royal family stays away from Antai. "

"But then the domestic aristocrats shut up. It's unprecedented that a man's royal family has only one wife, right?

Strongly put, Carlos II, the predecessor king, has been single for the rest of his life, but that's just a story he was allowed to do because of his childhood illness causing him to lose his reproductive capacity. Even that Carlos II, when rumors broke up with a side-by-side samurai, said, "Wouldn't you be able to have kids in a little while?" Because they had expectations, they knew how much it meant to the royalty of the southern continent to be a child.

To the Queen's theory, the daughter of the Borderline House wrinkles between her eyebrows like a little trouble.

"That's right, but I think those situations are extremely burdensome for Master Zenzilow. Sure, Master Zenzilow was a bit of a special birth. Excuse me, but does His Majesty Aura know the people of Shirai's view of marriage?

"Mmm? No, you don't. During the war, some words were exchanged with the soldiers of Shirai on the battlefield, but we never had a chance to talk that deep into the boulders."

To the queen, who said so and shook her head sideways, Lucinda nodded one, carefully choosing words to begin explaining.

"If that's the case, it might be a little difficult to understand. I am a woman on the border as you can see, so there is a lot of interaction with people from Shirai. So this useless knowledge also comes to my ear, but in principle, in the people of Shirai, it is' common sense 'that men and women are united one-on-one."

"Well, that would happen. In common city well men, it would be a burden to marry multiple wives financially"

To the snorting queen, Lucinda goes on to say one thing.

"Yes, you're right. But when that state lasts for generations, the state of one woman in one man is consolidated as custom and common sense, not for economic reasons."

In the case of rural villages in general, marrying multiple wives is often limited to village chiefs, counsellors, youth heads, etc. Some hunters, such as those blessed with arms and luck, are sometimes more financially loose than village chiefs, but when such people marry their second wife, they have a bad reputation for "cheatiness" and "lack of sloppiness in women".

Under Kingdom law, a man should be allowed to marry more than one woman, regardless of their status, if the parties are satisfied, but the reality is that "village customs" are stronger than such "Kingdom laws".

"So the man from Shirai, who grew up with those values, after marrying his first wife, is largely quite small and all confused when told by other women. Especially if you're a" serious, "" honest, "and" heartfelt lover of your first wife, "you seem really annoyed by the presence of the woman you say you are"

"Well, that's an interesting story"

Aura nodded as she suppressed the loosening of her cheeks with the force of her will.

"Serious" and "honest". And a man who "heartily loves his first wife". I can't help but tickle Aura that Lucinda appreciates Yoshijiro so much. Even if you're conscious, it's hard to get a third party to point out your husband's love for himself.

A fine middle-aged man showers cold water in the soft air between such women.

"But Master Lucinda. Master Zenzilow is royal. The royal family has a royal duty, but what do you think about that?

This is a private place, and since Aura is the first to talk to Fabio, it's no strange story for him to pinch his mouth in the conversation.

Even to Secretary Fabio's usual cold words, Lucinda breaks her soft grin,

"That's not something I can assure you I don't know the profound circumstances. But is that royal duty so great that it must be fulfilled until it risks crumbling between the Queen and her companions? What do you think of Master Fabio?

and returned more ruthless words than Fabio, depending on what he heard.

"Mm..."

While Aura is heartily surprised to see a very rare thing called Fabio, who is questioned and said, she asks Lucinda before that.

"Hey, Lucinda. Isn't that a lot of boulder?

"Yes, let me state the worst possibility I 'know'. Of course, you're right if you say it's very unlikely."

With that said Lucinda bows her head small, but the queen, who could understand the meaning of the word, has no superior expression at all.

Lucinda's 'as far as I know' worst possibility is to say that there are households that have collapsed that way, at least in the city well.

And Aura knows. The fact that the other world where Yoshijiro lived was dictated by law. In other words, Lucinda's presumption that "Yoshijiro's view of marriage is closer to that of Ichii than it is of nobility" shoots completely at him.

Such a Lucinda warning stabs deep into the queen's chest.

Behind the contemplating queen, the fine secretary asks Lucinda again when she coughs up one with Cohon.

"But is such sweetness acceptable to royalty?

"Shouldn't we soften the argument of 'possible or impossible' before the argument of 'permissible or unacceptable'? That's what I'm proposing.

For example, there is one hunter in our territory. He is a very skilled hunter, a rigid man who tailors wild carnivores with a single spear and captures wild walking dragons alive in traps. But he can't use a bow and arrow that should also be called a hunter's essential skill. Because you're losing one arm in the war ahead.

Does Master Fabio consider it 'sweet' that a one-armed hunter cannot handle bows and arrows?

"Does Master Lucinda say that Master Zenzilow is equal to that one-armed hunter?

"I don't know. Because unlike the shape of the body, the shape of the mind is invisible to people. But even if I had just spoken to you once, I could be sure that Master Zenzilow was for a different form of mind than the average Karpua kingdom aristocratic man. That's why it is possible to say this, but to do so lightly, the extremely difficult position of the queen's companion.

Is it rather the 'sweetness' of the people around you that while Master Zenjiro benefits from not being a common man, the disadvantages that Master Zenjiro emits from not being a common man are unacceptable?

Having said that, Lucinda realizes how 'private place' she has overstated her opinion of stumbling into a boulder, and to calm herself, attaches a cup to her hand from the table.

Over the cup, Lucinda glances at the look of the queen sitting face-to-face and the belly-hearted man who refrains behind her, but contrary to expectations, there was no negative feeling about this one on both faces.

Rather, interestingly, Queen Aura asks for further advice for Lucinda when she embarks on the table a little bit.

"I see. No, Lucinda's words really help. It was a very valuable piece of advice. Let's just say I carve it in my heart. So, that's it, Lucinda.

Still, if Zenzilow really had to take the side room, what kind of woman would he think he deserved?

Lucinda, imprisoned by the self-blame notion that the words had passed earlier, keeps silent, as often troubled, but eventually opens her mouth, as she perceived.

"Right. If Master Zenzilow really needs a side chamber, isn't that best for His Majesty Aura to decide?

"Am I?

"Yes. In the first place, what conditions does His Majesty Aura have in mind when it comes to Master Zenzilow's side chamber?

"That's not particularly true. Of course, he bends over and ties his blood to the royal family, so he sees a minimum of family style and personal qualities, but he wants to do the rest by sending a woman like Yoshijiro."

"Excuse me, I dare to assure you. The idea is fundamentally wrong."

"What?"

Lucinda, who sees the expression of the queen rounding her eyes as a crop to encourage ahead of the conversation, leaks a sigh of relief in her heart, making a conclusion.

"Master Zenzilow's wishes are already out. My wife is good for Her Majesty Aura alone. I don't need another woman in the first place."

"I mean, can't you have a side room?

To the queen leaning her neck, Lucinda shook her neck to the side.

"No. It's not. On top of that, if we are still going to let Master Zenjiro marry the side room, it is more important that the woman we love most," the woman who will not disturb the relationship between His Majesty Aura and Master Zenjiro as much as possible ", than that the woman is" the second woman we love "for Master Zenjiro.

I mean, we should take it to His Majesty Aura and find a convenient woman. "

"That's on the boulder... no, but sure... that's good, huh...?

A servant Aura is often stunned by the advice that is too unexpected.

However, based on the assumption that Yoshijiro loves Queen Aura more than she loves her heart, it is also understandable that it is indeed a muscular story.

If you say so, it's like forcing a human being immersed in one hobby or another to have "something else because the world is just too narrow".

For accepting that advice, would a human being immersed in the first hobby choose a purely "second interest hobby" if he chooses the second?

In conclusion, I do not choose first.

The top priority is to "stay out of the way of my first hobby". If the first hobby is a hobby that costs money, the second hobby will choose what it can do for free. If the first hobby is a time-consuming hobby, the second hobby would choose a time-consuming hobby. And if the first hobby is a physically tough hobby, the second hobby must be choosing a hobby that is unaffordable to the body.

"There is another reason why we should choose Master Zenzilow's side room on the initiative of His Majesty Aura. That's to make it clear where the responsibility lies.

It is His Majesty the Aura, not Master Zenjiro, who needs the side chamber of Master Zenjiro.

And yet it would be a little dastardly to entrust the decision only to form to Master Zenzilow? In that case, I thought it would be easier to make it clear that, by choosing the side room at the initiative of His Majesty Aura, it would be at His Majesty's convenience everywhere, and later on, it would be more emotionally convincing for both of you. "

"Sure, that's right"

"It is up to you to foolishly think that if you choose to look for a 'subordinate of the woman who leaves the back' that combines reason and ability, such that the consciousness of His Majesty's subordinate will stand first, rather than the consciousness of being Master Zenzilow's sideroom, even if you take it to Master Zenzilow, it will somehow become a compromising sideroom. Because if you are such a woman, you will stand around undisturbed by Master Zenzilow and His Majesty Aura.

Regardless, in order to play the role of side chamber, it is a big premise that at least Master Zenzilow is a woman who 'feels attracted as a woman'. "

"I see...... No, it's a really helpful opinion. Let's think about it once we have their opinions in mind."

The queen, who answered that, had a meaningful grin on her mouth.

Eventually, only Queen Aura and her belly, Secretary Fabio, will be left indoors when Lucinda Ghazir, who has finished the conversation, leaves.

…………

…………

Often, silently, the Queen and her belly do not remain slight. Eventually, it was Queen Aura who broke that silence.

"What do you think, Fabio? What was Miss Lucinda's opinion earlier?

"No, what an earache story that was. Indeed, I have many painful feelings if Master Zenzilow tells me that he was' sweet '"

If there is a side to the fact that Yoshijiro is a changer and he was helpful, Lucinda's opinion is that the disadvantages caused by Yoshijiro being a changer should be followed around.

To the secretary shrugging her shoulders small, the queen says with a laugh.

"It's unusual that you say you lose. Well, that's good. More than that, I'd like to ask you about the conditions in the sideroom of my son-in-law, which Miss Lucinda said."

"It's a very sudden opinion, but I did think it was firing a target. Well, it was out of my imagination that His Majesty Aura would have a man so in love that I would never come to the conclusion."

"Say it. Well, you say yes."

"Yes, but it's never an easy condition. Whatever you say," Women who can be trusted with their talents and personalities, so much so that they can be entrusted with the back. "

That kind of Fabio secretary thing is very deliberate.

To the evil of such a secretary, the queen also rides.

"Sure, if there's such a woman, I'd love to see her. What happens when you go into the royal side room of an adult man with only one person, and you can act rationally without losing your desire?"

"Right. My idea is," The woman who sat face to face with His Majesty until earlier. "

"Well, that's an odd encounter. I only know that woman."

The queen and her belly-hearted men grin niggardly as they gaze at each other.

"Your Majesty. I don't think I need to tell you, but you haven't let me get away with it. In the unlikely event that it does not become Master Zenzilow's sideroom, he should at least be welcomed as one of His Majesty's immediate men."

"I don't need to be told. It's a miracle that all those women stayed single until that age."

"But what Lucinda said earlier was desperate to kill the laughter. With a woman like 'A Subordinate Who Can Be Left In The Back' who combines reason and ability, etc. If you hear what you hear, it only sounds like an intense self-assertion that sells itself in"

"Oh, and I'm glad I can assure you there's absolutely no such line. Anyway, Miss Lucinda herself has decided that she does not satisfy the general premise that her son-in-law is a woman who finds her attraction as a woman."

"I was wondering if I couldn't help it. It would be stranger to expect, in Zenzilow's common sense, that the mid twenties are 'marriageable age', etc."

The marriageable age of a woman in the Kingdom of Karpua is fifteen to twenty years in number. Kojiro's senses are nearly ten years off.

Of course, whether it be Aura or Fabio, the image of Lucinda Ghazir is still only my first impression. In the future, if you examine the person in detail, they will also come out.

But as things stand, she's definitely the first candidate in the side room to suddenly jump to the top.

Just one interview, the intelligence that spotted the relationship between Yoshijiro and Aura. The gall power to put painful advice in her ear without timidity, even against the Queen and her belly. And that nature that allows you to do your best for your own stability, not your own happiness everywhere.

"Fabio. Check your son-in-law's plans. And let my son-in-law take a half-hour in the morning or afternoon, the day when either one of you has a whole job in it."

"Ha. I understand that."

It was a very rare order. Typically, Aura makes sure that her and her husband's breaks overlap as much as she can. Doing so ensures a little time for couples to spend together.

There is no other reason for giving orders that conflict with such daily habits.

"In anticipation of that time, ask Amanda about becoming a Lucinda person. First, I'm going to wash it from a source close to me. We're gonna be busy."

That kind of queen's smile was sunny, which I don't think is very much my husband's sideroom choice.
