"Now, Mr. Oscar Almon... how do you know I called you?

"Uh... sorry. Please, can you tell me?

Later, Erkühl called Oscar Almon.

Oscar Almon is the second son of a branch of the Almon family.

The Almons were one of the great nobles targeted by Erkühl, and the head of the house was imprisoned and confiscated most of the land.

But the branch is a thing that follows the main house.

Erkühl also knew that the branches had to take part as well as the main house took part in the rebellion, so the branches of the aristocracy who took part in the rebellion had been subject to relatively light penalties.

It was the same for the branches of the Almonds, not without any blame, but only the destruction, the confiscation of all their possessions and the imposition of extreme sentences could be avoided.

But what does it mean that the emperor himself will be summoned?

Why am I called and no other brother is called...

And Oscar thought about it, but I actually had an idea.

Because Oscar was the only one who had succeeded in getting out of the siege of Elquille.

Isn't that relevant?

And, Oscar bows his head to Erkühl with his heart in mind and asks for answers.

And Elquille's response was the thing I expected.

"Because you got out of that siege. I was confident. There's no one left, and I'm confident I can destroy them. But you broke it brilliantly."

"Am I on death row?

Oscar blues his face a little and asks.

A hostile faction nobleman, with excellent command.

It will be easy to kill.

Is Oscar expelled or condemned to death by Erkühl?

I thought you were going to say some sin.

And Oscar was ready to take it spoiled.

Whatever the reason, it is true that he participated in the rebellion. I can't complain about being killed.

But Elquille speaks unexpected words.

"Death penalty? What are you talking about? … I called to hold you as a general."

"Huh? To the general?

Oscar had a puzzling look on his face.

If you've done something, I know it.

But Oscar was hostile to Erkühr, and did some, but only some damage to Erkühr.

I don't know what that means...

and so Oscar recalls an example.

Mercenary Captain Darios.

A man who once flied an anti-flag against the Lemurian Empire, put his heart into the emperor Hadrianus III and is also said to have become a distant cause of his death.

Erkühr was holding the man to his minister.

"I appreciate your command. A strong army needs a brilliant general. I want you. What do you say? It shouldn't be a bad story. … will also restore the honor of the Almond family"

"It is an honor for His Majesty the Emperor to appreciate it that way."

Oscar bowed his head to Elquille deeply.

Either way, Oscar doesn't have a choice.

Assuming no, waiting for Oscar would be death.

It is too dangerous for insurgents to exist in the country, turning down the emperor's solicitation.

Besides, the position of the Almonds is in jeopardy.

In the first place, there's no reason to say no.

Achievement will pave the way for birth.

The Almonds' lost glory can also be restored.

Above all...

This emperor gives me a legitimate appreciation of my abilities!!

"Young man, thank you very much."

"Ha, the same goes for the youngsters. Let's try not to lose each other or Grandpa."

Erkühr reached out to Oscar.

Oscar, bewildered, held Elquille's hand strongly.

"So from today on, you're my minister.... because we can't go back?

"Yes, Your Majesty. Anywhere we go, we're here to serve you."

Oscar Almon.

Mistle aristocracy, Almond family branch.

Two names are "oligarchy."

During the chaos of Hadrianus, they are found and held by Elquille.

One of the seventeen-pillar subjects of the Erkür Emperor.

"Your Majesty."

"Carolina, what's up?

"That's the line here. At this late hour."

Carolina spoke to Elquille as she watched the moon on her own balcony.

Elquille flaunts her shoulders.

"No, think the stars and moon are different."

"What is it?

"This is the story."

Erkühr teases appropriately.

The truth you don't believe is the same as a lie.

"But I'm not impressed with a woman coming to a man's room at night like this."

"Well, your father will be angry... right?

Carolina laughs like a prank.

Carolina had a very dangerous outfit called stall on top of the thin negligee of the fabric.

I visited Erkühl in such a good manner...

At the same time that I trust Erkühr, it is a sign of my feelings that if anything happens to Erkühr, it will be fine.

Erkühr was just a little, happy about it.

"Actually, I have some good wine, but it's a corner and you want a drink?

"Well, it's a corner, and I'll take it."

Elquille opens the cork and pours the bright red wine into a glass of carolina.

And trying to pour it into my glass...

"Your Majesty, I'll pour it for you."

"Really?

Carolina receives a glass bottle of wine from Elquille and pours it into a glass of Elquille.

When they make sure that the wine has been poured into each other's glasses, they gently glaze at each other.

"Here's to your eyes."

"Cheers, you're the same. Your Majesty."

The two drink wine slowly.

I don't do anything nasty, like drink all at once.

The lead is not alcohol, it's a conversation between the two of us.

Alcohol is just a lube for conversation.

If you get drunk and Lu Rhythm stops turning, it makes no sense.

"Good luck. Your Majesty, it must have been tough, right?

"Well. Nevertheless, if you don't do it well in the aftermath, you'll have trouble later"

It is post-mortem, i.e. post-war processing.

Can we suppress the insurgency, strengthen the system of domination and strengthen the country?

Or will it destabilize the country more than ever and weaken it?

That hangs on post-war processing.

"... What did Her Highness say?

"Thank you, I suppose. Well, killing my brother is a scandal."

Erkühr recollects his own mother, who weeps and thanks.

"Well, fortunately, Your Highness was wise. Hadrianus and I would have been given the title of mother and brother killer if we had been rebellious."

"Your Majesty..."

Carolina is a little confused, then asks.

"Do you dislike the matter of Her Royal Highness?

"Carolina, let me tell you something good."

Elquille smiles.

"The opposite of love is not hate or disgust. indifferent."

……

Yes, indifferent.

That's why Elquille doesn't care what the Empress thinks of herself.

As long as we're adults, there's nothing wrong with that.

"You're white. Can we have a little more fun? You don't have to talk about politics right now."

"Then..."

The two change the subject and tell a delightful, bright story that was close to them.

While the conversation plays, the liquor progresses, and the dish (small) brought by the samurai is also sucked into the stomach of the two.

"This is delicious. Are you the head chef?

"Well, you do. Bring the right dishes according to the type of wine. As always, I'm sure of his arm. But you're in trouble at this late hour."

"Well, that's your job, right?

"It must be! Well, I'll pay you for overtime later. I'm looking to build a white country!

Two people who get drunk around each other and rap.

Soon, Elquille sat next to Carolina.

When Elquille turned her hand around her shoulder, Carolina did not reject it, but rather put her head on Elquille's shoulder to accept it.

"Your Majesty..."

"What's up?

"I like it. I love you."

Elquille doesn't answer that, he grabs Carolina's jaw.

Carolina meditates her eyes.

Elquille presses her own lips against Carolina's lips.

The two lips meet.

"I love you, too."

"Your Majesty..."

The two of them kiss each other again.

And Elquille asks.

"What do we do?

"... I'll take care of it"

Elquille held Carolina.

And crawl your tongue into Carolina's long ears.

"Mmm... Your Majesty... because this is my first time..."

"Oh, I know"

They then had a sweet evening like honey.

The next day, the two officially exchanged engagements.
