"You're in a good mood, Carolina"

"Heh, isn't that obvious?"

Happily Carolina stroked her own stomach.

As you can see from this motion, Carolina is pregnant.

I just discovered it, so my stomach isn't swollen though.

"Boy or girl, which do you want?

"I don't care if you can give birth well."

"That's not the kind of pre-construction... the real thing, is. I'll do my best."

Erqueur laughs bitterly at Nico and Carolina smiling.

What do you mean, work hard?

I can't even change the gender that comes into being where I worked hard.

"Hmm, a girl, I guess"

"Is it good, not a boy? You inherited it, didn't you?

Carolina raised her confused voice to the unexpected response.

I guess he was willing to have a boy in person.

"I guess my age changes only thirty...... soon after I die, I'll be dead"

"Oh...... I see"

If Elkhur were to die at two hundred years of age as the average long-eared (elf) life expectancy would mean that a child born now would reign at about one hundred and seventy years of age.

When that child lives on the street with an average life expectancy similar to that of Elquille, he is in place for only thirty years.

Well, that doesn't mean what's wrong...

"Recently, the Titus guy made a boy. Well, if only we could welcome the child to adoption. I don't really want a boy."

"So why do you want a girl?

"It's just like when I was in Chiffany. Girls don't have any trouble no matter how much they are......... well I want my daughter personally. She's cute."

That's what Erkühr said, clapping his shoulders.

"Unlike you, Luna has a problem with having a boy."

"The kingdom of Hayastan is not bound by a man, so there are no problems around it"

Renalier joins the conversation.

Note that Renalier was dressed in made-up clothes with the usual Elquille prank.

I don't really look like a queen... but I'm not surprised, I'm a queen.

"You guys don't have to be good, there are people who obsess that it's bad. For example, the kingdom of Farth, the kingdom of Farth, the kingdom of Farth."

It is possible to attach any amount of difficulty.

The fact that the king is not a man is a reason to attach Ichamon.

"Choosing a son-in-law is more troublesome than choosing a daughter-in-law. They could take over."

A man is desirable for the throne.

The sun is still shallow after coming under the control of the Lemurian Empire, especially in the case of the Kingdom of Hayastan.

"Your Majesty, may I have your time?

"I don't mind, come in."

I was suddenly called from across the door.

When Elquille gave permission, it was Todoris who came in.

Ruthlessly Renalier hid behind Elquille.

Because it was embarrassing for the minister to see him in maid clothes, servant clothes.

"Anything wrong?

"The civil war in the Kingdom of Cerda is over"

"Ho..."

Elquille raised her eyebrows.

The civil war, which lasted more than a decade, is finally over.

"Stupid son won?

"Yes. Laus I takes it down, Hilderick II wins. I reigned as the only king of the kingdom of Cerda. … the Lords of Laus I want asylum, what will you do?

Laus I struggled, but in the end Hilderick II, who excelled in economic power, won.

As a result, many Beast (Warbeast) aristocrats were evacuated to the Misr oblast.

"What did Hilderick II say?

"We are making a return request. And… we denounce this… breach of confidentiality, and support for Raus I… What will you do?

"Ignore it."

Erkühr was not willing to answer their accusations properly.

Let me tell you something.

"The exiled nobles accept him as much as they can. Why don't we have a welcome party?

Elquille was going to welcome them.

Because it will be an ingredient to promote how Hilderick II is a tyrant.

"I can't avoid a deterioration in my relationship with the Kingdom of Cerda...... because it would be nice?

"No problem. It's a country that's going to be gone."

Erkühr smiled niggardly.

"Hi, Cecilia. You came to see me today."

"This is, Master Elquille."

The next day, Erkür visited the mansion he was lending Cecilia.

Cecilia broke her cheeks and welcomed Elquille.

"What can I do for you today?

"Oh, you needed me to come to you. I'm sorry about this."

"No more... don't be mean like that"

Cecilia gently fisted Erkühl, who, as she said, was hurt.

No matter how you look at it, you'll be a flirtatious couple.

For the most part, I go in a private room in the invisible Cecilia.

"So... so, I've come to talk to you today, just, is it?

Cecilia compared the flicker to the bed and the elqueur.

What we say here, is the physical language on the bed.

"Well, I have a favor to ask..."

"I knew I could use your help."

Cecilia laughed bitterly.

"Do me a favor, or, well, yeah. I'm here to ask forgiveness, but I'm right."

"Forgive me, sir?

Cecilia tilted her neck.

"I am going to issue a new decree on religious relations. … a decree that equates the treatment of Western Mesians with that of Alexandria and Orthodox."

Cecilia narrowed her eyes.

"I see... may I assume that this has something to do with the end of the civil war in the Kingdom of Cerda?

"I hope so. I mean, it's a decree for the Kingdom of Cerda in the first place."

Cecilia, who perceived everything in Elquille's words, meditated her eyes and sat back on the bed.

"What is orthodox and what is heresy...... it is the realm of the Holy World and my jurisdiction. But how we treat heretics is within secular boundaries. So please be at Elkühr's disposal..."

Cecilia has said that since...

I laughed mischievously and bashed my tongue out.

"And I just wanted to say, I still don't like it"

"Well, I can't help it."

Erkühl laughed niggardly, then grabbed Cecilia's shoulder and pushed her down to bed.

"Hey, what are you doing!

"It's a punishment for bad kids. Be prepared."

Elquille and Cecilia's bodies overlapped.

"That's Nova Lemuria's report on the criminal organization."

"Hmm, well done. Though, you're still a jerk. This kind of thing... crushed or crushed, I don't have the chili. It's like weed."

Erkühl sighed when he heard Nia's report.

Nia is waving Daiju as police commissioner in Nova Lemuria, but it was still difficult to eradicate.

The more people we get together, the more we can really do something called criminal organization.

"Your Majesty, one thing, the... I would like to make a statement..."

"Well, what? Say it."

What a rare suggestion from Nia.

Elquille narrowed her eyes.

"We want to expand our police organization across the country."

"Hmmm...... as it stands, even Nova Lemuria looks like a handful, but why is that?

If this were a suggestion from a non-Near human being, Erkühl would have decided this.

He said he was trying to strengthen his power.

Police power is a more troublesome force than command power when it's bad.

It's just... Nia loves Erkühl to the point of being pathological, and she's sworn absolute loyalty.

That's already the level at which Elquille pulls lightly.

"With the expansion of the distribution network, we have a connection next to criminals. Especially between the big cities, between Nova Lemuria and Alextia."

"Hmm...... I mean, is that it? You said before, urbanizing and widening the bandits."

"Yes, it is"

Traditionally, bandits were based in mountains, caves, etc.

Attack travelers and merchants walking down the road and take away hardware.

That was the common bandit.

But that has not been the case in recent years.

The reason is soldier Tunda.

Tunda soldiers have delayed disobedience when their enemies attack them and their role as reserves for the Standing Army...

Other than that, he is also responsible for policing and acting as administrative police.

If a bandit, etc. breaks out locally, Tunda soldiers will catch it.

Since the main streets will be enemy marching routes, Tunda soldiers will naturally be installed on top of them.

As a result, it was harder for bandits to break out between the main streets.

It is possible if it is not a major street, that is, a narrow road on the border, but this time travellers and merchants do not pass enough to maintain the bandits (...).

As a result, classical bandits, like laying low in the mountains and ambushing their prey, are vanishing.

but on the other hand, more bandits have lurked in the city.

What troubles them is that they usually live as ordinary citizens.

Sometimes they don't attack merchants even more, and vice versa.

In short, it is a group like the Yakuza and the Mafia.

Nia says they are stepping up cooperation between cities.

Especially since Nova Lemuria and Alextia are geographically remote but connected by sea, they are actually quite “close".

"When you get on a boat and you get away with it, you can't track it anymore."

"Hmm... I see"

Elquille looked up to the ceiling.

And think about it for a moment and then ask Nia.

"Is your workload okay? The Independent guerrillas I left you with, they're not gonna be more neglected."

"I'm fine... I'm fine, I'll leave it to my men"

"Hmm."

I can use people well.

It would be a big growth.

"As you know, policemen and soldiers from Tunda and the Standing Army are responsible for policing our country."

In the Lemurian Empire, the military is in charge of areas such as police and fire fighting.

I can't afford to split up.

"But the only judicial police force that investigates crimes exists in Nova Lemuria. It's not a bad story to install something similar to that in Alexitia."

"So..."

"Let's test spread it to alektia"

To Elquille's words, Nia let her face shine.

That my opinion was acknowledged by Elquille, I guess that makes me happy.

"Do you have any idea what talent is?

"Yes. About that, to me too, some"

"Okay...... well, yeah. Next time, submit a specific plan."

"Yes!"

Nia's tail rocked in a good mood.

"Yeah, but you don't have to do it now. Focus on training independent guerrillas."

"That's... I see, I get it"

Nia sensed what Erkühl was trying to say.

That means there will be a war soon.

"By the way, Your Majesty"

"Yeah?"

"... Sounds like you've been getting along with Cecilia a lot lately"

The tone of Nia said so had a slight thorn, unlike earlier.

Erkühr lightly slapped himself on the knee and pounded.

"You can come."

"Yes!"

Nia jumped on Elquille's lap with great joy.

We kiss each other.

"Don't be jealous when I leave Cecilia to you. That's not gonna happen in Carolina or Lunarier...... can I ask why?

"... I don't want to lose to Cecilia."

"We're friends, aren't we?

"… so"

"That's complicated."

I don't understand.

But as I said, Elquille clasped her shoulders.

"Eh!

"Even so, this place is as sensitive as ever"

Elquille said as she eagled Nia's tail and stroked it.

Nia roughs her breath, grabs Elquille's clothes still and shivers her body.

"That's right Nia...... you want to marry me?

"... uh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh... not really, eh, eh, I never thought about it,"

Nia said as she tided her cheeks.

"If you want, you can have a ceremony after everything you've cleaned up"

"... I'd like to have a wedding"

"Right. Then..."

"But marriage is... good"

Erkühr's hand stopped in Nia's response.

The tail leaves Elquille's hand and drips off.

"What do you mean?

"Politically speaking, I don't think it's a good idea for me, the adopted son of the Lucarios, to marry His Majesty."

"Hmm... did the guy from Lucanos say that?

"... no, it's my personal view. But given the balance of political power between your father-in-law and General Galphis and General Christos, I guess I shouldn't get married."

Galphis is having Elquille daughter-in-law Carolina.

Christos is Elquille's uncle in the first place.

And Lucanos was Elquille's tutor.

This balance of power between the three lays down the political stability of the Erkühr regime.

"But my power is now absolute. Even if it collapses slightly, it's a margin of error, right?

"Yes, but... I still don't want to bother Your Majesty. And..."

"And?"

As Erkühr listens back, Nia laughs lightly.

"Hey, I think it's going to be a pain in the ass. The queen is. No matter how many side rooms, I knew I had to do a lot politically."

"Well, sure."

Erkühr laughed bitterly.

"And that's not the pattern I have. As Your Highness, I want to be of service to Your Majesty."

"I see... So what do you want to have a wedding?

Nia blushed her cheeks as Erkür asked.

"Look, isn't that a girl's longing? I knew, well, I'd like to have a nice wedding and try on my bridesmaid's clothes."

"I mean, is that it? Weddings are held inside. But marriage in the public sense, which means it won't be a sideroom?

"Yes.... well, am I at all costs?

Nia looked up at Erkühl, in such a way as to fear.

Erkühr drops a kiss on such nearer lips.

After an exchange of kisses for a while, Elquille looked up.

"I don't mind. That much, if you don't make it happen, the man will get rid of it."

That's what Elquille said and laughed, grabbing Nia's tail again.

Nia doesn't think, she whispers.

"Let's stay seated today, shall we? Lots, I'll adore you."

"Heh, heh..."

Nia slid her cheeks against Elquille's chest plate with a lukewarm face.
