Risou no Himo Seikatsu

That night. As planned, a welcoming night club was held at the Marquis of Lara to welcome Wang and Yoshijiro.

The attendees were the face of the Marquis of Lara, the neighboring nobles, and the leading men in the territory. Naturally, the chandeliers that illuminate the venue from the ceiling, as well as the plates and tables on which the dishes are served, fall short of that of the royal palace. It is probably deliberate to be downgraded without one exception.

In the meantime, keeping an eye out is the sophistication of the samurai working in the venue. This one isn't that color compared to the two women in the royal palace. I can tell you are very well trained.

Introduced as the main guest of the night club, Sanjiro was then face-to-face with the family of the Marquis of Lara.

Incidentally, the next lord, the eldest son and his wife, are not here because they are packed in the Wang capital. Other than that, since the adult eldest daughter is already married to another house, it was inevitably the three young women Ida and the four women Lolita who would be introduced on this occasion.

"I'll be the first to see you, Master Zenzilow. The Marquis of Lara is home to three women, Ida."

"Likewise, I'm Lolita, the fourth woman. Today, we are delighted to meet you."

The little lady in the dress, Yoshijiro, smiles and raises one hand to greet the two replies.

"His Majesty King Aura of the Kingdom of Karpua is his companion, Sanjiro. The boulders sounded like sounds. You're a marquis lady from the Lara Marquis. It's a greeting into the hall."

Sanjiro's response was the same as the stereotype, but the words were also the honest thoughts of Sanjiro as they were.

The Marquis of Lara. Three daughters Ida is seventeen years old, four daughters Lolita is fifteen years old. Around this age, I have never seen a girl so sophisticated in the royal palace, neither in words nor in the way she wore a dress. They look less pale than humans who are supposed to be role models for ladies, such as Countess Marquez Octavia and Countess Aubenis Perpetua. Regardless, that's because the eye you see isn't very well developed, Yoshijiro, so I guess you have a different feeling if you look at it more harshly.

Either way, these are the two main purposes for which Sanjiro flew to Marquis Lara territory this time.

Sanjiro takes the time to have a conversation with two young ladies in particular.

"Well, does Ida make her own dress? I don't know much about women's clothing, but I think it suits them."

To the words of Sanjiro, Ida the Third Woman grins with a grin.

"Thank you, Master Zenzilow. But I still can't get a pass from your mother."

Ida laughed uncontrollably, if not more sophisticated.

There are generally two kinds of meanings for the term "make your own dress".

One literally means sewing a dress with a pin and needle. The other is meant to convey an image of the type of fabric, the colour, and the specific shape of the dress so that the craftsman can make it.

In the case of the Wang capital, when a civilian woman says "make her own dress," she often refers to the former, and when a noble woman says "make her own dress," the latter means a lot.

But Ida is a flying aristocrat named Marquis, but thanks for the words, which also seemed to contain the meaning of the former.

Exactly the kind of official social dress I'm wearing right now is left to the artisans, but they make dresses for relaxing in their own rooms, etc. with a needle in their hands.

"That's a big deal. With that said, Miss Lucinda of the Border House of Ghazir is trying to keep her needlework arm at a minimum."

Not only Ida, but Lorita, the fourth woman standing next to her, nods to Yoshijiro, who says so as I recall.

"If you live on the border, maybe the neighborhood is common. I can't seem to repair it at times of need, because my feet are clumped together."

Saying so, Lolita, the fourth woman, laughed as if she had hung up. This world is not as full of things as modern Japan. Especially in the middle of the war, which had been going on until a few years ago, distribution lagged behind, the fields were rough and there were numerous territories with many manpower taken to the battlefield.

In that case, the lord's wife and daughter are also an important workforce. At the very least, I have to be able to do things around me myself. The Ghazir Border House and the Marquis of Lara seemed to have such an idea.

Of course he said, "Don't be stupid. It is the role of the aristocrats to discriminate not to be taken to the battlefield even by craftsmen" houses of values. There is no problem that one is right and one is wrong.

But regardless of the four-woman Lolita, the three-woman Ida clearly seemed to have a lot of passion for clothing rather than the level of "borderline woman's preference".

"I, sooner or later, want to create an epidemic in this country."

I can see a bright color in the eyes of the three breasted women Ida, who say so and are not very rich, that can be called both dreams and ambitions.

"Right. So Ida wants to go out to the king's capital?

They should also be aware that the reason why Yoshijiro came here is to recommend Ida and Lorita as the true wives of the next host, Chabiel, of the Hakata family on the border of Ghazir. Yet to mention this, is Ida, a little of a threesome, not too enthusiastic about marrying Chavier?

Three women, Ida, smile and deny such good jiro's concerns.

"No, I don't stick to places. There are advantages and disadvantages, but the epidemic can be transmitted from anywhere."

What is the meaning behind that word when I said, "but I will not give up fashionable transmission of clothing wherever I go"?

Perhaps the aim was for it to pass from Good Jiro to Chabiel.

As for clothing, it's not a strange hobby for a woman to be aggressive, but it costs a lot of money, and if she tries to spread the fashion, she needs to host something like the social world on a regular basis.

For this reason, it is not uncommon for a man not to welcome such activities of his own wife. Sanjiro guessed that he was concerned that Chabiel was such a man.

"I see it's important to Ida. Let's remember. Doesn't Lolita have that kind of focus?

Lolita, the fourth woman told the story, shyly lays her eyes down after her little neck is covered and her eyes are often obtained.

"I didn't say anything about this..."

Three women Ida follows into the words of her sister, who is ashamed of her tastelessness.

"Lolita is clever, unlike me. So much so that I remember what I learned at age ten at age eight. But because of that, I don't seem to have much obsession with certain things."

"That's not true. I'm just desperate to get a pass from your mother."

To his sister's words, her sister leaned down in vain when she said so. Apparently, compared to Three Woman Ida, Four Woman Lolita is a lot of drawn-in ideas.

"So what does Lolita do in her spare time?

Normally, Yoshijiro dares to listen to things that go too far. Ida and Lolita will be sent by Yoshijiro as Chabiel's fiancée. In exaggerated terms, he is Sanjiro, who is rambling a sense of responsibility like his companion.

Lolita, the fourth woman who doesn't know such a good jiro's thoughts, answers honestly.

"Right. If it's active, I look forward to doing some sunshine on the lawn in the courtyard."

"Is that, like, reading a book or knitting?

"No, don't hold anything"

"Don't have anything"

"Yes."

Sunshine without holding anything. Is that really fun? Even Sanjiro, who understands that it is not a good thing to say anything to someone else's taste, is a use of time that leaves his inner neck open.

"So, what's the hot season? Can't you do sunshine in the heat?

"Yes, in the hot weather, in my room, I put my foot in a bucket with water, and I'm depressed"

"Boom."

"Yes, I am."

"What about the rainy season?

"From inside the room, looking out the rainy window"

"Boom, huh?

"Yes, it is."

Finally, all year round, you mean you spend your free time in a blur? Now, they say that things are remembered quickly and that they do what their parents tell them to do without graduation.

If you are reluctant to follow people's instructions and think you have the ability to do the job as instructed, this may be a difficult quality for you as an innkeeper of the Border Lords.

"Standby state". To Lolita, the fourth woman, who said that she would be upset if she had time, Yoshijiro had such words on her mind.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

Two days later.

The day before yesterday, three daughters Ida and four daughters Lolita were safely and "instantaneously moved" to Wang Capital. Sanjiro then made a return to Wang Capital by "instantaneously moving" himself.

Originally planned, the three samurai Ines, the samurai Marguerite and the knight Natalio were also to be sent home on "Moment Travel," but to shorten the stay of Yoshijiro, they stopped.

Fortunately, all three are quite used to outdoor activities. The distance between the Marquis Territorial Capital of Lara and the Wang Capital is quite remote, but it is domestic. Even if it takes some time, there won't be any danger first.

Either way, Making his return to the royal palace, Sanjiro takes a break and heads to the royal palace after putting in a report of his return to Queen Aura through a soldier packing in the stone room.

It was Lucinda, the eldest daughter of the Bojia, on the border of Ghazir, who was waiting in one of the royal palaces to which Yoshijiro headed. He asked Lolita, the third daughter of the Marquis of Lara, to give her a message and rescheduled her to tell her that Yoshijiro would also return today.

For this reason, I can resume my work from the day I moved there in vain.

"Dear Zenzilow, safe return, above all"

To Lucinda, who stands up and welcomes himself, Yoshijiro answers with one hand gently raised, lowering his back to the face-to-face couch and urging Lucinda to sit down as well.

"Thank you, Lucinda. It was my first time, but I'm so relieved to be able to do it safely."

Fly people from the region to the Wang Capital with 'instant travel'. There was nothing difficult to do when I finished, but until I succeeded, it was a nervous job inside. In the future, similar jobs are expected to increase. You'll have to get used to it.

"Ida, have you met Lolita face to face yet?

Lucinda agrees with Yoshijiro's words.

"Yes, because it will take a while for both of you to get used to the life of the King's Capital. I'm thinking of inviting you both to a small luncheon or something."

If you put it in a way that doesn't dress your teeth, the first step is for Lucinda, a relative, to make provision for a candidate daughter-in-law.

Lucinda has also heard rumors about the Marquis of Lara and the Marquise of Lara. Heroes of the war ahead and his wife, a nanny woman of Queen Aura. It's not like they don't trust their recommended daughter, but there's something about compatibility in the world. Even a proud daughter over there can often be a wife who wants to shy away.

"Okay. The daughter of the Viscount Regalado family shall also temporarily be granted permission to leave the rear palace. Nice to meet you too."

"Yes, sir."

Lucinda answered that in a calm voice.

Thus, as Yoshijiro and Lucinda continue their discussions, Konkon and the door to the room are knocked.

"What?

The voice of the soldier returns from beyond the door to the voice of the enquiring Sanjiro.

"His Royal Highness Francesco is applying for a visit. His Royal Highness Bona is with you. May I come through?"

Yoshijiro unexpectedly sees Lucinda sitting face to face. Lucinda also pats her eyes and shakes her neck to the side. Apparently, Lucinda hasn't talked about it either, a genuine unexpected apologetic assault.

Well, in Prince Francesco's case, it's not particularly unusual, and I understand why he went into such behavior. Fortunately, I'm sorry, but the dialogue with Lucinda has already ended on an important part.

"Lucinda, as you asked, the emergency went in. That's all I want to do today. Let me make this up to you later."

"Yes. Never mind."

To Yoshijiro's words, Lucinda smiles small and returns so. With General Pujol and Nilda Ghazir in charge of wedding ornaments and wedding rings, Lucinda is also becoming quite knowledgeable with Prince Francesco and Princess Bona.

For this reason, I understand everything about Prince Francesco and Princess Bona.

"Now, if you'll excuse me,"

"Oh, hands."

"Thank you"

Sanjiro escorted to the exit as he lent a hand to Lucinda, who rose from the couch.

A dozen minutes after that. In the same room, opposite Yoshijiro sitting on the same couch, sat a blonde prince and a chestnut-haired princess.

"Hey, sorry to push you so suddenly"

"My apologies, Your Majesty Zenzilow"

Next to Prince Francesco, who laughs as badly as ever, this one still has Princess Bona in the frightening compartment making her body smaller.

"I'm used to boulders. So, what can I do for you?

No matter how princely the two kingdoms are, they can't be called "careless" because they are definitely very disrespectful acts. Still, from words and deeds, Princess Bona pulls out only a little of her shoulder strength in order to convey what Yoshijiro doesn't care about. Meanwhile, the culprit Prince Francesco doesn't even care from the beginning.

"Anything. Did His Majesty, Zenzilow, get you a special stone or something?

That's what I say with a full smile. That was the word I had expected at the time of the arrival of the urgent hope of seeing from Prince Francesco. So the stone has been brought to this place from the beginning.

"You're early."

Sure, I didn't mean to hide it specially, but how does Prince Francesco know about the information on the object that Yoshijiro brought to the royal palace today on "Moment"?

Even with some doubts, Yoshijiro gives instructions to his squire, who had refrained behind him, and puts the little box on the table.

When he took the lid of the rectangular box and made it visible inside, not only Prince Francesco, but Princess Bona, sitting next to him, sparkled its eyes.

"That's Amber, isn't it?"

"Wow, beautiful... what an intense golden color..."

Prince Francesco's voice overlaps that of Princess Bona, who has wooted. From Princess Bona's reaction, this amber looks pretty good.

"What do you say? Your Highness Francesco. Can you use it for the 'eyes' of decorative oil lamps?

To the words of Yoshijiro, Prince Francesco says with a serious face that does not instantly answer and seldom shows.

"May I take it in your hand?

"Go ahead."

"Excuse me."

Prince Francesco, who attracted a small box all the time, when he took the white fabric gloves out of his clothing pocket, did it and then took the amber into its hands.

"... His Majesty Zenzilow. Do you know where this amber comes from?

Sanjiro thinks, feeling a little pressure on Prince Francesco's serious face, which he rarely shows. The origin is almost certainly the Kingdom of Tukare, a virtual enemy country. It comes from a slightly disturbing stroke, but it doesn't hide it specially. I'm going to give it to Prince Francesco originally and have it used for my wedding decorative oil lamp, so it would be more harmful to keep it hidden from Prince Francesco if there was anything.

So concludes Yoshijiro, honestly revealing.

Prince Francesco, hearing it, puts his hand on his chin and thinks.

"I see. Is it the Kingdom of Tukare? I am not that familiar with the western part of the southern continent, but is the Kingdom of Tucar also an amber region?

In reply to Prince Francesco's question, Yoshijiro replies, recalling his lecture with Mrs. Octavia.

"As His Royal Highness knows, the kingdom of Tukare's lineage magic is' solving magic ', so that country boasts a wide variety of mineral resources. I can't be sure, but I was wondering if Amber was anything wrong with being one of them."

"Really..."

"What is it? Your Highness Francesco?"

Princess Bona gives a lot of attention to Prince Francesco, who thinks about it.

Prince Francesco turned his neck to the side, holding a grain of amber with his right hand in gloves.

"Oh, I was just wondering. Don't Bona look familiar to this amber? If you don't know just how it looks, you can hold it with that hand."

"Do you recognize me? I beg your pardon, Your Majesty."

If you say no, Princess Bona also wears gloves and grabs another amber with that hand. And I opened my eyes to the feeling.

"... stiff? What is it, this? Is this really Amber?

Prince Francesco and Princess Bona, skilled in carving gems and precious metals through blacksmiths, sculptures, have only grasped them with their hands and have some idea of the hardness of the subject. Originally Amber is a relatively low-hardness stone in a gem. But this amber was clearly stiff.

I say to Princess Bona, who cannot hide her surprise, in a tone that Prince Francesco has become a little softer than earlier.

"It's definitely amber. However, it is overwhelmingly harder than normal amber. I guess it weighs a little heavier too. And this intense golden color. I look a lot like this Amber, but apparently Bona doesn't look familiar."

In words to Prince Francesco, Princess Bona agrees.

"Yes, such a stunning amber, you wouldn't have forgotten it if you had seen it once"

To Princess Bona, to whom I assure you, Prince Francesco nods once, turning his gaze back to Good Jiro, who sits face to face, and opens his mouth.

"One of the secrets passed down to the Shalova royal family. It is a terrible resemblance to a gem called 'Sealed Dragonstone'. This intense golden color is also rare, but I can only honestly assume that the hardness unlikely in this amber was dug from the same mineral range as the 'sealed dragonstone'"

"... may I ask where that 'sealed dragonstone' came from?

In response to Sanjiro's question, Prince Francesco regains his usual mild grin and answers.

"It's been conveyed as one of the things my ancestors possessed since before they came to this southern continent."

That means it's from the North.

Prince Francesco's explanation continues.

"Your Majesty also knows that there is a widespread teaching of faith in wise ancient dragons on the North Continent. One of its teachings is a pillar of wise ancient dragons covering themselves with amber and falling asleep for a long time until the time they should come. There is."

The wise ancient dragon tale of that hand, in some way remaining in this world, is said to be left very much behind. Naturally, most of it is just a fairy tale. Neither does Prince Francesco believe the story itself.

"Well, although I don't exactly believe that the amber transmitted to the Shalova royal family is an amber shard that was really sealing the wise ancient dragon. From the literature, I think it is certain that 'Sealed Dragon Stone' is a stone that we have owned since we were in the North Continent.

Then, if my eyes are certain, I wonder if these two grains of amber were produced on the North Continent. "

Regardless, it is not unlikely that a very similar shade of amber can be found from another mineral vein. But I can't even ignore the jewelry any more than Prince Francesco, who is loud enough to assert that he "looks terribly alike" so far.

"Okay. I'm sorry, but I'll let you look into this a little bit. Can I wish you back?

"Ah?"

"Huh?"

In the words of Yoshijiro, the prince and princess, who had the amber in their hands, reflexively held the amber in their hands and hid it.
