Risou no Himo Seikatsu

Chapter II.3 [Requests to Princes and Princesses]

The road musician with the promise attached - Primo Gijen leaves the room at the end.

Only Queen Aura and her belly, Secretary Fabio, remained indoors.

In a room of return of tranquility, Queen Aura accidentally exhaled one, a great sigh.

"The Gigens and the Ghazir Borderline House will be linked in marriage, or? Don't let your domestic power relations shake up."

As the king of a feudal state, he is the king of the kingdom of Karpua, which has exceptionally strong powers, but that is not why he can sit back on the ties between the leading nobles.

"If each aristocrat says it will increase its self-reliance in territorial development and so on, it is not necessarily an unwelcome story because it will also lead to the enhancement of national power, but there is no reason for His Majesty Aura and the Crown to welcome the leading aristocrats to unite in marriage and build a single force."

To the words of Secretary Fabio, who says so, the queen leans between her eyebrows and gives her abominable endorsement.

"Oh. Correct the ex, it was impossible to reject Pujol any more than he was emanating from tying him up as my fiancée candidate. So I can't help but flow this far.

Here's the problem. "

"I don't think the Gigens will gain more power than General Pujols."

"That's right. I want to stab the nail in some way for the Ghazir Border House. Keep your hands in order to call Lucinda soon."

"Is it Master Lucinda? Not Uncle Ghazir himself?

The queen agrees with the secretary who takes the confirmation.

"Oh. The border uncle of Ghazir, for better or worse, is a local lord nobleman of independence. It is good to say that there is no possibility of General Pujol 'sticking below'. You're on par with Pujols, both in position and spirit.

The problem is, the next generation. Chavier is a promising good boy, but he's still young. Besides, I have a strong vision for Pujols because of my strong values as a samurai "

It is quite possible that the young samurai-skinned Chavier will be taken in by General Pujol, a hero in the war ahead.

If so, it is the Grand General of the Centre, who has in his children a local lord of great proprietary strength. To boulders. This is not something you can look at as a royalty.

"I see. Is that why you're Lucinda?"

"Oh. Lucinda is the most obvious way to talk about such a small difficulty in the people of the Borderlands of Ghazir. It's a little inconclusive on the spot, as the decision of the clan rests only with my father, Uncle Borderline, but it should be quicker to talk than to pull Uncle Borderline out to the negotiating table from the start."

Assuming it's a terrible rating for the lord nobles of the Great Territories, but unfortunately it's not an unfair rating.

Miguel, now a Gazier borderline uncle, is an honest samurai-skinned man, for better or worse.

A rare honest personality for a great nobleman, a man who, as a force of war, is very dependable, but not in such a troublesome story.

However, since he is definitely a man of measure, if the conclusion reached by his trusted real daughter is that he will swallow it.

So Aura decided that Lucinda was the best point of contact.

"I'm not reopening it, but I guess we should do more to make Pujol and Nilda's wedding a success even here than we can avoid.

One year's respite can never be afforded as a prep period for the wedding of a great nobleman named the Gijen family, the Borderline House of Ghazir. "

To the queen who switches her thoughts so, the secretary also nods small and strikes a connection.

"Yes, many of the lord nobles who are pulling into the territory on a daily basis will be gathered in the king's capital. Local lord nobles have their own mansions in the aristocratic neighborhood, so there is no problem with accommodation, but if food is not purchased significantly, the Wang du will be hit by temporary food distress"

"Around there, it's awkward for the Royal Palace to stick its mouth in too many details. Tell the King's Capital Merchant Guild about the big frame and keep your nails stabbed so you don't plan on making bad borough money."

"I was wondering if that's okay. Later, the problem with temporary population growth is the disturbance of security.

The majority of invitees are aristocrats, so the main population growth is the aristocratic district, but when it is General Pujol's wedding, once the bride and groom will parade through the city of Wang Du in a dragon car.

Then I was wondering if we should be prepared to gather numbers that would not be foolish, too, for ordinary tourists trying to see the march at a glance "

The wedding of the grand aristocrats is a great business opportunity to take to the merchants, and for the rest of the citizens it is an excellent post-entertainment.

Not to mention that General Pujol is a hero of the war ahead.

On the other hand, Nilda, who is to be married to him, is a village daughter who grew up without even knowing she was a nobleman until she was well-intentioned, even though she was a courtier of the Gazir Border Uncle family.

A (former) village daughter, seen by a man who is a great nobleman and a great hero. The bards have agreed to create dramatic and romantic poems.

Inevitably, it is also better to think that there are more spectacular spectators listening to the poem than usual.

Understanding the circumstances, Aura wrinkles between her eyebrows.

"Security. Noble neighborhoods have no problem with the jurisdiction of the Royal Palace Guard, but civil neighborhoods are under the jurisdiction of the Wang Metropolitan Guard. We need to talk to Viscount Regalado."

There are two types of organizations in charge of security here in the Wang capital, Karpua.

The Royal Palace Guard and the Wang Metropolitan Guard.

The Royal Palace Guard, which is guarded by the Royal Palace and the Noble Town, is a very moveable force for Aura because of the organization directly under the Royal Family, but the problem is the Wang Metropolitan Guard, which is guarded downtown.

The head of the Wang Metropolitan Guard has been designated seat of Viscount Regalado for generations.

It is only the role of the King's Capital Guard, armed limited to the less lethal, and less skilled soldiers, but in numbers alone, far more than the Royal Palace Guard, which reports directly to the Royal Family.

For this reason, Viscount Regalado's cooperation is essential if we are to have a major event in the King's capital.

"You're the one on the left. I'll arrange an interview with Viscount Regalado."

"I asked."

To one nodded queen, the faithful secretary undertakes to "leave it to me".

"Following on from the earlier matter, may I introduce Sir Primo to His Royal Highness Francesco and His Royal Highness Bona, as I ask Lady Zenzilow to be present?

To the secretary who takes the confirmation, the queen agrees after only a few thoughts.

"Oh, that would be good. My son-in-law will be burdened again, but the caretakers of both highnesses were originally left to Zenzilow."

"Is there a problem? Sir Primo is a little bit oblivious to me when it comes to the world of hobbies."

"Well, you'll be fine. His Royal Highness is an excellent granting magician, as well as an excellent craftsman. Primo Gijen never forgets respect for a good craftsman and artist, even if he never forgets to be polite"

And Prince Francesco is not a politely noisy person.

While acknowledging certain correctness to such a queen's claim, the secretary leans his neck as usual with no expression.

"I think that's right, but at the same time, it's a bit of an anxiety material that feels too fit.

The combination of craftsmen and artists who don't know their own weight and generous patrons often depends on foolish thinking that it might cause a rampage. "

"Humph. In that case, it is the nostalgia of the Gigens that the damage of the runoff goes directly. It's convenient."

"Well, from the assets of the Gigens, isn't it a great deal of damage?"

"That's sweet, Fabio. You don't know how wasteful it is when a good actor and an artist come together and remove the hoop. If they're serious, they'll lean toward the country instead of home without joking."

That's what the queen says and exhales one sigh.

In fact, some of the anecdotes passed down to the royal family seemed to be royalty of the road musicians who consolidated the country that way.

To the words of such a queen, the fine secretary tilted his neck with no expression,

"Isn't that the next proposal that needs a lot of attention? Whatever the assets of the Gigens. That is, in a broad sense, the assets of the Kingdom of Karpua.

Meanwhile, His Royal Highness, who receives the price, is the one of the two kingdoms. If we change our view, can it also be said that enough assets to tilt the country will spill from the Kingdom of Karpua to the two kingdoms?

…………

to the secretary's sober allegations. The queen often, after reticence,

"... I'll ask my son-in-law to pull the reins so he doesn't take his wings off too much"

That's what I say and look away softly.

"I'll give you a cup later, Mr. Zenzilow's labor."

To the queen's words, the secretary breathed a great sigh of sigh so that she could hear it deliberately without expression.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

Then three days later.

In one room of the royal palace, four men and women were face-to-face.

"His Highness Francesco, His Highness Bona. Thank you very much for your time today."

Shanjiro, who is formally the organizer of this occasion, would like to begin by thanking the princes and princesses of the Shalova royal family.

"No, Your Majesty. Zenzilow, I'd be delighted to introduce you."

and a blonde prince, beside the usual brain-weather grin,

"Thank you very much for inviting us today, Your Majesty Zenzilow"

and the chestnut-haired princess, with an expression that can't hide the tension, is watching this one closely from earlier.

The chestnut-haired princess - as Princess Bona, I guess she makes an unpleasant association with the fact that she was summoned from the side of Yoshijiro instead of pushing her from Prince Francesco.

I am totally in the mood and a parent with a problem child.

Of course, in the invitation sent in advance, Yoshijiro describes the purpose of this meeting (Primo Gijen says he wants to meet with Prince Francesco and Princess Bona), but that is the only thing that does not reassure him is the guardian of the child in question.

Princess Bona may start apologizing on her own if she says this poorly.

Sanjiro, with such a fear, cuts the case out quickly.

"As I told you in writing, this man wishes both His Highnesses as he sees fit. I was allowed to set up a place like this. Primo."

A middle-aged nobleman who had refrained behind his demeanor until he was spoken to by Sanjiro - Primo Gijen, when he leaves one step ahead, courteously greets him and names him.

"Nice to meet you, Your Highness Francesco, Your Highness Bona. I, the Kingdom of Karpua, am a member of the Gijen family, my name is Primo.

This time, I have the opportunity to see both Your Highnesses, and I know with great pleasure. "

Big words, but the fact that the words are not exaggerated in any way would be guaranteed by everyone who knows a man named Primo Gijen.

For Primo Gijen, a pioneer blind to works of art and crafts, the royal family of the Charois, an excellent craftsman and artist, is precisely the presence of envy.

"Ha ha, that's scary when you're so grateful"

As it was, Seeing Primo Gijen, the momentum he was likely to embrace, Yoshijiro remembered the work imposed on him by his beloved wife.

Somehow, it is the job of the good jiro today to control this Taoist aristocrat and so that the runaway prince does not take his wings off too much.

"Well, let's introduce ourselves, and let's sit back and talk about it slowly from here on out."

Like pulling off the exciting Primo Gijen, Yoshijiro led them to the couch.

"I see. General Pujol is getting married, isn't he? And with that, you want to ask us for a job?

Asked about a series of circumstances from Primo Gijen's mouth, Prince Francesco openly stepped forward with his body and said so.

…………

Princess Bona, who sits next to her, also lets her eyes shimmer more than Prince Francesco in silence.

The blonde prince sitting next to him and the uninspiring eater changed his expression like "Parent of a troubled child who had eaten a call from school" earlier.

Prince Francesco and Princess Bona.

The common denominator between the two with different personalities and genders is that they have a higher awareness as granting magicians and craftsmen than the awareness of the royalty of the great powers.

"First of all, whatever it is, I'd like to ask you to do, 'Wedding Rings'. It would be desirable for the bride and groom to replace each other with a pairing that both men and women wear on a daily basis and is not too flashy to interfere with their lives"

To the term 'wedding ring', Prince Francesco turns his gaze to Chilari and Yoshijiro with a serious expression that has rarely erased his smile.

"When I say" wedding ring, "that demonized me and Margarita, huh? Sir Primo wants something comparable to that one?

That, needless to say, is the wedding ring of Yoshijiro and Aura, brought in from Earth by Yoshijiro.

Fashion ring with gold pedestal decorated with extremely small triple diamonds in all colours and shapes.

Regardless of the overall artistry itself, the precision machining techniques expended there are not reproducible in this world on boulders.

"Oh, are you going to try that?

Neither can Princess Bona keep her mouth distorted by surprise and joy.

Primo Gijen looks to the blonde prince, who unexpectedly shows a sober response, and the chestnut-haired princess, who unexpectedly burns a hot fighting spirit.

"No, it's not. Only the same is true for the purpose of use: 'Wedding Rings'.

For more information, I'd like to leave it to you. "

"I see. Do you have any requests for pedestal metal or decorative stones?

At some point, Primo Gijen replies instantly to Princess Bona, who eats more than Prince Francesco, without breaking his smile.

"Basically, I want to leave it to both Your Highnesses. But the most important thing is that it suits the owner.

We will have seats soon, so hopefully we can see the bride and groom up close once and wear them as a design reference. "

"Oh, thank God for that."

"Thank you very much"

The prince and princess smiled happily at Primo Gijen's response.

In the case of jewellery for which a human being is determined to be sent from the beginning, it is self-evident that it is easier to consolidate the image to make it after meeting the person in question.

"You're right about something else. It's a bit of a ruthless story, but should I think about the budget as much?

Primo Gijen answers the administrative question of Prince Francesco, who is serious about his work, with pleasure.

"No cap"

"Huh!"

To that answer, Prince Francesco further embarked himself,

"Huh!?"

At the same time, Princess Bona floats her hips with rattles,

"Yes, please wait a moment"

And Yoshijiro rang his hands together with his pussy.

With the sound of a squeaking hand, Yoshijiro, forced to direct everyone's attention to himself, poses as calm with the power of the whole body and corrects it with a suppressed voice of discouragement.

"To be precise, as things stand, there is no clear ceiling,. However, there is also a combination of the bride and groom's houses when it comes to the budget, so please be the first to understand that there may be some modifications in some cases."

"Dear Zenzilow!?"

Sanjiro explains to Primo Gijen, who gives the unexpected restraint a look that he is out of his heart.

"Sir Primo. Your Lordship is indeed the chief of the Gigens at this wedding. And this request is a stand-alone request of the Gigens.

Therefore, although it is not a principle for others to make statements, as I said earlier, there is a problem of matching the two houses. Just in case, shouldn't we check with Lucinda, who is the head of the Border Bojia side of Ghazir, before we formally request it?

If the item to be sent from the bride to the bride is worth 100 million yen, and the item to be sent from the bride to the groom is worth one million yen, a variety of lumps will remain in the boulder.

Because it was extremely common sense to point out that the servant Primo Gijen could not have done more.

"Hmm... you're absolutely right"

Nevertheless, the budget ceiling is undoubtedly quite high compared to public work in general.

Princess Bona, who perceived it, with a red tide face that could not hide her excitement, asks.

"Let's leave the budget aside, how will we procure the materials? We don't have access routes to precious metals and stones in this country?

To Princess Bona's natural concerns, Primo Gijen answers with clarity this time with a tight chest.

"Leave that to me! Domestically, of course, if you are a country bordering the Kingdom of Karpua, this Primo has a handout for 'all of it'.

If you're limited to the things that exist in the western part of the southern continent, you can take a look at them at any request. "

"Whew! That's dependable"

"Right, Your Highness, Francesco. If that's the case, corals, pearls, etc...!

"Gohonghonghonghong!"

Showing great exuberance, Prince Francesco and Princess Bona on her ass, Yoshijiro makes a series of deliberate coughs to pretend she can't hear Primo Gijen.

Some of the countries bordering the Karpu kingdom continued to be thoroughly hostile in earlier wars and are still 'officially' cut off from national traffic.

In other words, what Primo Gijen is doing is, strictly speaking, a fine smuggling.

However, it is not realistic to seal off all border lines in a country as large as the Kingdom of Karpua, and if we seal it off so completely that we no longer have any information on virtual enemies, that is again problematic.

For that reason, trading on a personal level, for what you're sneaking up on, is an eye-spill, but it's difficult to be declared grand in front of a royal family.

"Then, with regard to the material, it would be fine to say that Primo would take it responsibly. Is that all you got to do?

To Sanjiro, who proceeds fairly forcefully, Primo Gijen knows or does not know, honestly according to the flow.

"No. Fortunately, there is more than a year until the ceremony, and besides the 'wedding ring' if possible, I will go down there hoping that I can ask you for decorations for the ceremony"

"Is that a ceremonial decoration?

Primo Gijen nods again and again to Princess Bona, who listens back.

"Yes, it is. Chandeliers, candlesticks, special utensils for brides and grooms, etc. Of course, we have all the streets at home, but because of this, I wanted to make a new one."

It's a Gigen-headed wedding, so it's normal when it comes to that much scattering, but there's no doubt about the mixing of Primo's personal tastes first.

To Primo Gijen's suggestion, the blonde prince and the chestnut-haired princess face to face.

"When that happens, will one of us be in charge of the 'wedding ring' and the other of the ceremony decorations?

"You will. Which would you prefer, Your Highness Francesco? I'm better at little things like rings."

"That won't be up to us alone, Bona.

Sir Primo, what do you say? Do you have any preferences for job assignment?

"I leave it to both Your Highnesses. The condition of a good patron is that it does not sharpen the motivation of the artisan. Oh, well, few craftsmen are happy to hear the Gatekeeper speak from the side."

In a familiar tone, he says so to Primo, Yoshijiro quietly penetrates once he meditates his eyes hard enough to suffer a headache.

"Primo, how long have you been a patron of both Your Highnesses?

Primo, they say, laughs deceptively after a hack.

"I'm sorry, dude, with the usual scum. You haven't been a patron yet."

Still, does that mean you're going to be a patron in the future?

He is Sanjiro, who had such a question for a moment, but soon shakes off that question.

I don't even have to think about it. It is decided to be.

My intimacy with Primo Gijen is thin. But I can assure you.

Primo Gijen is such a man.

Therefore, Yoshijiro must say:

"Primo. His Royal Highness Francesco and His Highness Bona are royal guests. If you ask both Your Highnesses, make sure you talk to me like this one, okay?

Primo Gijen himself is an indefinitely harmless man who lives in his hobby, but still a Gijen family person. We cannot afford to miss the fact that the Gigens make direct connections with the royalty of the two kingdoms.

"... I understand that."

Replying reluctantly so, Primo Gijen's face was like a child taken away with a toy.
