Episode 15: Eastern Diplomatic Undertaking

"Hmm... you've got a problem"

"You're in trouble..."

Erkühr and Todoris had their heads troubled by a certain diplomatic issue.

The season is March.

A little warmer, just the right season to take a nap......

A single letter was received from the Kingdom of Pharus.

The sender is the Kingdom of Farth, King Sassan VIII.

"Dear Emperor of Lemuria. (omitted). I'm ashamed my daughter, Shehrazard, is missing. I have a sighting saying we're heading west, so I'd like to ask you to cooperate with the search if possible. If you find me, I want you to contact me. Shehrazard is characterised by… '

That's what it is.

"The search, there's nothing... what do we do? Can you spare me?

"... I was wondering if that would taste bad when they found out. Instead, sending me this kind of protégé… maybe I've already got the information that Princess Shehrazard is in this palace"

Suppose...

The contents of this parent book say, 'Give me back my Sheherazard!!' If so, Elquille could pass unknowingly.

Who's Shehrazard?

What do you look like? I don't know.

Sorry, I didn't realize that!!

Even with the level of correspondence, the muscles go through.

But when it comes to 'I want you to look for Shehrazard', it doesn't.

I didn't realize that the beautiful long-eared (elf) girl with protective blonde hair was Shehrazard, knowing the characteristics of Shehrazard and that Shehrazard was missing......

That doesn't work.

"Emperor Lemuria is incarcerating Shehrazard, knowing with my daughter!!

It would be troublesome if they attacked me for that reason.

For once, there is an inviolability treaty with the Kingdom of Fars…

My daughter is incarcerated, if there's a big nickname... there's nothing I can't destroy.

Historically, the inviolability treaty has rarely been properly observed.

"What do we do? You want it back?"

"You don't have the option of not returning... More than the protection of the kingdom of Hayastan has not been consolidated...... we cannot have a rub in the east. But if you just keep returning it..."

"Failure to protect the Messians, could be defamed...? Well, don't crush my face."

Nevertheless, if I don't give it back, I'll crush Sasan VIII's face.

In that case, war.

"Honestly, I'm not sure I can beat Sasan VIII. The military force over there is in the wrong digits... and most importantly, Sasan VIII is in trouble."

Conqueror of the world, "King of the Sun," Sasan VIII.

The name is also bombarded by the Lemurian Empire.

Either way, he defeated the previous emperor Hadrianus III to Zutaboro in two matches.

There is no certainty that the boulder Elquille can win either.

"Don't you dare, ask the person?

"... right, I thought that would be the best"

Once, they shelved the problem.

"Oh, please, Your Majesty!! Duh, please let me stay here!! Oh, your father is absolutely mad!!

"Then you'd better apologize soon..."

"Wow, you mean whatever happens to my butt!! Not a hundred or two times like this..."

After all, the Akaimenez family is carrying out their work with butt pens.

What if the father slaps an eighteen-year-old girl in the ass...

I only feel criminally unsavory.

but i guess it's safe in the phallus kingdom.

… perhaps it is a unique custom of the Akaimenez family.

"If you're going to apologize, you better hurry"

"I knew it wasn't a good idea to prolong it."

"Huh, do you say that to both of us!!

Lunarier and Carolina tell me, Shehrazard brings tears to his eyes.

Renalier is gentle and slaps Sheherazard on the shoulder.

"For once, I am familiar with Sasan VIII.... so I can forgive you, shall I tell you?

"... wouldn't that be counterproductive?

The kingdom of Hayastan was an ally of the kingdom of Fars,.

Yes, it's a story of the past.

If Renalier, the mastermind of betrayal, says something bad to King Farth...

Conversely, Shehrazard's position could be worse.

To Carolina's question, Renalier answers.

"Either way, it's time to keep it face-to-face with Sassan VIII. That's the thing called muscle."

Apparently, Renalier was going to talk to Sasan VIII about cutting this off.

Well, it's certainly not a good idea to remain a betrayer.

One word, I'm sorry I betrayed you, maybe you should say it.

"I don't care how much you say you don't like it though... I can't believe you need to tell me the fact that you protected it. I'll ask you to forgive me for a hundred butt pens or so."

"Is it true...?

"True, true... the problem is you can be converted"

Clearly, it doesn't matter to Elquille whether Sheherazard gets his butt penned or not.

No, I have a desire to see it, and I'd rather even try it...

That's about Erkühl's hobby, and it doesn't matter politically.

The question is whether Shehrazard can be converted or not.

If we are not allowed to convert...... Faceko will be preserved if he manages to uphold the faith of the Messians under Erkür's diplomatic pressure.

but if it comes down to something that can make you convert...... it's not funny.

"I'm talking about Sasan VIII.... will definitely make you convert to harassment"

Originally, Shehrazard fled conversion.

It is self-evident that if I return it, I can be converted.

Maybe you don't want to...

It is not whether there is a problem or not, but whether it can or cannot be done, and whether it is possible or not.

If Shehrazard were to be converted, Elquille's face would be crushed.

or, if you defend Shehrazard...... it will be war with Sassan VIII.

I want to avoid both if I can.

What to do...

"Well, we can only try to negotiate. If it goes well, we might just have to discuss it."

"Ho, is that true!!

Shehrazard held onto Elquille.

A busty chest is pressed against Elquille's arm.

If this were Siffany, I'd almost push her down and offend her with or without saying...

Assuming you are a princess of one country, there is a risk that too much contact may be misleading that is unnecessary.

Elquille is forced to pull off the sheherazard.

"Calm down. I don't know what I'm not trying. I'll talk to Todris. Well, once we have another (...) diplomatic card. Just don't expect it? At the end of the day, it depends on what Satan VIII thinks."

"Yes!! Please, please."

"How about that?

"Surely, Princess Shehrazard, if you break the treaty earlier, and add the example cards...... you might have a pretty good advantage in the negotiations.... but also inspire Sasan VIII and threaten to be a war?

"That's when, that's when. Well, I'm not going to lose for free. Most likely, if Sasan VIII were to be as rumored, he would avoid war. I wouldn't fight a war without a certainty that I could win."

The Farse kingdom torn by Erkühl, ravaged its territory and paid compensation…

Still recovering, it's hard to say.

Regardless, I haven't been damaged enough not to be able to wage war, and I might try to clear up the snowflake, but as for what Sasan VIII really means, I should want to focus on my internal affairs.

Besides, it is the Cindilla Expedition that the Kingdom of Phallus is currently working on, and the biggest virtual enemy is the Black Clash Coates.

You shouldn't want to have a useless fight with Lemuria......

Maybe, probably, I'm sure, I hope so...

"For once, mobilize hang up and put it down.... Rest assured. Even if it were war, we wouldn't lose easily."

Why, this man is a confident man.

He really thinks he's the last one to win.

That's why I don't doubt my victory.

... Well, Sasan VIII is of similar quality.

Similar, so.

"In the meantime, let's contact Sasan VIII, 'Got it, I'll look for it'.... right, let's get 'found' out in two weeks"

"I think it's a little short...... well, maybe we should report the discovery before Sasan VIII starts feeling weird"

It was decided to temporarily return the Shehrazard.

Then two weeks later.

In the kingdom of Farth......

"Looks like Shehrazard was in Lemuria, as you expected. Befnam."

"Foffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff This is not going to take a thousand butt pens."

Sasan VIII, who read the parent book from Erkühl, took a deep sigh.

And hold your head.

"You stupid girl...... totally, where did you grow up wrong?

"I guess from around the time I allowed the Mesians to convert. Around forcing me to re-convert to Holy Fire in the next place. Your Majesty has fallen for you, too?

"... I know that too"

For Mesians, converting to paganism means falling into purgatory after death.

If it's forced conversion, it's a misdemeanor.

There's no point in Shehrazard escaping.

"... after all, is it reasonable to assume that he was leaning under Emperor Lemuria?

"Right...... I sent spies to Lemuria and let them investigate... not a single sighting came out. It is all too unnatural that that is discovered two weeks later just by shaking Emperor Lemuria with one letter...... It would still be natural to assume that Emperor Lemuria hid and hid Princess Shehrazard as a diplomatic card."

It was Befnam who advised Satan VIII to give Lemuria a parent book.

Because it was possible to reach the point where Shehrazard crossed to Lemuria and through the province of the genus Shria to Nova Lemuria in the capital by road, but the information was interrupted there.

Possible possibilities are captured by Emperor Lemuria...

or were involved in some kind of crime.

Either way, without Emperor Lemuria's help, it would be difficult to get Shehrazard back.

Satan VIII reluctantly said that he would show his weakness to Emperor Lemuria, but he was persuaded by Befnam to give Emperor Lemuria his protégé.

And Befnam's predictions were misplaced, so...

Nevertheless, there is no solid evidence for that either.

Even assuming he disputed Elquille, it was only visible that he would be ignored.

"Whatever it is, I need it back..."

"It must be difficult. For Emperor Lemuria, Princess Shehrazard is a Messiah to protect. Even though he is a parent, if he returns it lightly under the heathen King of Holy Fire... his face will be crushed. Probably put some sort of..." Don't force conversion, "for example."

"... is it still a fight?

"I was wondering if I should avoid that. Exactly, I get the accusation that it is unrestrained to break the truce agreement twice. It is possible that not only foreign countries, but even the people of the country, will no longer trust His Majesty the Akaimenez family.... I was wondering if it would be a good idea to settle this in a discussion. Worst of all, we need some kind of concession."

Then, Satan VIII shook his head wide aside.

"No concessions!! You can't beat Lemuria any more."

If we continue to give in to Remlia any more...

The international status of the Kingdom of Pharus is at stake, and the domestic courtship of Sassan VIII could be diminished.

All this time, we have to win.

"But given Emperor Lemuria's character... that young man won't give in. Yeah, I hate losing, just like your majesty. That young man would choose war, if he were to war with his own face.... somehow, let's bring it into the draw. That's the only way."

Befnam remembers Lemuria's fat diplomat - Todoris - as he forgives Sasan VIII.

I don't know if we can talk to Emperor Lemuria, but if it is Todoris, to some extent, we may be able to negotiate.

Befnam and Todoris are friends who fought their tongues over and over.

That's why we can trust each other.

Farth does not want war.

And Lemuria shouldn't want war either.

Then there was room for both sides to walk away.

"The question is, 'With the Mother Highness of Princess Shehrazard, I'd love to see you', isn't it?... My parents will be worried, I want to show my mother her face soon, etc..."

"... is there such a human sentiment for that Emperor Lemuria?... Again, you might have been taken for granted. What do we do?"

"... you'll have to take him. Does the parent book also say, 'If you don't check your parents' faces, you can't return the Messians to you '?

That is, unless you check the face of Shehrazard's mother, Shehrazard will not return it.

And Erkühr says.

Assuming the terms were something like "Give me the territory," "Give me the money," or "Apologize," I could jump.

But when they say, 'As Emperor Lemuria, as guardian of the Messians, you can't return one Messian unless you check your parents' faces beyond returning it under your heathen parents'...

It's hard to say no.

From the field's point of view, it is a natural condition to demand…

It is also a natural condition for acceptance.

"You'll be at a disadvantage. But...... if you don't, the negotiations themselves won't start. Just to be clear, it's not even a very big deal, is it?

"... well, you're right"

Let's be clear, I'm taking Shehrazard's mother, I'm not taking her...

The national interests of the Kingdom of Fars, rather than issues relating to the mood of the mothers of Sassan VIII and Shehrazard.

From Befnam, it's a condition to drink in two replies.

"Okay, let's take him. … but also on condition that we bring Shehrazard"

"I was wondering if you'd like that."

Lemuria and Farth have the Flat River as their border.

And the river is being used by both sides in discussions.

There was one big middle state in such a river.

This middle state is usually used by fishermen on both sides...

Lemuria, is often also chosen as a venue for discussion between the monarchs of both sides, due to the geographical characteristics of being just in the middle of the border of Pharus.

And today, the heads of both countries were gathered in that central state.

From the Lemurian side, Emperor Erkür I of Lemuria.

Minister for Foreign Affairs, Todoris.

Lukanos, Archbishop of Nova Remulia.

As an escort, Carolina, Christoph.

of five.

From the Farth side, King Sassan VIII of Farth.

Prime Minister, Befnam.

The Queen of the Three.

And as an escort, Coward, Sherheen.

of five.

And most importantly, Shehrazard.

A total of eleven people gathered in Central State at a set date and time and met face to face.

"I see you first, King Farth, His Majesty Satan VIII. My name is Erkür Yulianos. The Lemurian Empire, the Emperor. King Farth and may I call you?

First, Elquille takes a step forward.

Then King Farth takes a step forward as well.

"Welcome, be the first to see you. Emperor Lemuria, His Majesty Elkhur I. My name is Sasan Akaimenes. Farse kingdom, king.... Go ahead, you're free to call me. I, too, call you Emperor Lemuria."

Both sides grin and shake hands.

A very friendly smile... but my eyes weren't laughing.

"My stupid son bothered you the other day. And even my stupid daughter, I'm sorry. And thank you for returning our daughter. I appreciate it."

"... well, I have a lot to say about that"

Erkühr relaxes, "Give me my daughter back..." Satan VIII remarks.

And after making an appeal that I'm not going to give it back for free...

"There's actually something I'd like to talk about before the handover of Princess Shehrazard's personality. To be precise... Archbishop Nova Lemuria is the mother of Princess Shehrazard."

Erkühr says so, then takes a step back.

Then Lucanos took a step forward.

"I will see you first, Your Majesty King Farth. I am the Archbishop of Nova Remulia, my name is Lucanos Lucarios."

Since I named him that...

Turning to the beautiful long-eared (elf) woman with gray hair - Shehrazard's mother - who was holding back behind Sassan VIII, he said.

"Nice to meet you...... no, should I say it's been a long time? Helena Valeri... now Lord Helena Acaimenez," "

"Yeah, it's been a while. Archbishop Nova Remulia...... Lucanos Lucarios"
