"Choose your favorite of these, Sonia"

After finishing his secret conversation with Cecilia, Erkühl handed Sonia a book sent by Nova Lemuria.

"What is this?

"It would be on the title, wouldn't it? A catalogue of wedding dresses. It was created by my great brother."

Erkühl's brother, Titus, has artistic talent and has his hands in a variety of fields, from architecture to painting and clothing.

Thanks to the weddings of Carolina, Lunarier and Sheherazard, especially with regard to wedding dresses, he established himself as a leading figure.

It has already been filled with reservations until ten years away.

Originally Titus was a distraction, and there is something troublesome about him.

For once, I feel like doing my job... but it's also a pain in the ass to have a meeting or explain it in my own mouth.

And it is a little awe-inspiring for the requesting party, even if the emperor's brother explains this directly to me.

That's why Titus was easy to understand and made a catalog book.

Read that first, pick some of your favorite design candidates, and the story starts with that.

That is the will of Titus.

"Well, I'm going to have a meeting with Titus later... but it'll be easier to talk about it after I've seen through it"

It's filled with reservations until ten years away...... but in Elquille's case, it's not the story.

With the Emperor's power, it is easy to interrupt this waiting order.

"Heh, Your Majesty..."

Sonia leans down on her face and starts to shudder puffy.

Erkür's heart rate increases just a little.

(Oh, that? Did I say something to piss you off?

Elquille sitting in her heart.

Either way, the other is the woman who murdered her fiancée at the wedding.

But behind Erkür's worries, Sonia held him in tears.

"You remembered that I said I wanted to have a great wedding!

"Oh, oh... is that so touching?

A little bit of a pulling elkür against Sonia...

Never does Elquille hate Sonia.

She's a very cute beautiful girl, and she's highly capable.

Above all, it is an indispensable part of the reign of the Kingdom of Cerda.

It was a triumph for Erkühl, but the engagement was made.

I want to be as close as possible to that fiancée, naturally...

What makes that hope as much a reality as possible is that it is worthwhile as a man, as an emperor.

"I can't believe you think about me properly...... that's all, I'm grateful!

But even if it's natural for Elquille, it's not necessarily normal for Sonia.

Sonia is a beautiful girl and princess, but unexpectedly she doesn't have much experience of being thistled or valued by men.

The factor would be...... it would still be because I was usually dressed in military uniform and running on the battlefield.

No man or woman exists on the battlefield.

Plus there is the bad reputation of her de facto private soldier, the Red Wolves.

I can't even call it a strong or bad reputation because of the tremendous amount of warfare I've done... but people who dye white armor bright red are feared regardless of their gender.

Sonia also had a fiancé named Hilderick II.

This Hilderick II was cold against Sonia and obsessed with her pet princess Cassandra - the daughter of Joamel.

Sometimes Hilderick II and Sonia weren't originally the opposite, and their relationship was chilling.

Still, no man has set up an approach to Sonia besides her fiancée's king, and even if she were, the serious Sonia has been badly impressed with such a man.

As a result, there was no such thing as manhood in Sonia's life for seventeen years and months.

"Your Majesty, I, you'll do your best! For Your Majesty's sake, I will do anything!! So... the..."

Sonia shyly mojimoji.

Elquille bows herself for her slightly shorter than herself and kisses her lips as she stares into those chestnut eyes.

Sonia's face turns red like a boiled octopus.

"You don't have to feel so bad. You're my fiancée, and you'll be a couple soon. It's all my duty to love you, to cherish you, to make you smile."

"Ah... hey..."

Sonia stares at Elquille with a decent eye.

Erkühr laughs bitterly inside.

(If this were Luna, I guess I'd say give me the money (support) because I don't need love)

If Renalier is a very golden woman for Elquille, Sonia is a very cheap woman.

Anyway, you just have to say the right hot words to him.

(But love is blind... you have to be careful so you don't wake up)

Renalier in a business-like relationship is, in a way, easy.

It is in the national interest, not the emotions, that matters in the relationship between Elquille and Renalier.

If it is of national interest and emotion, the former is easier to adjust.

But Sonia's relationship with Erkühl… is established by a unilateral Sonia romantic sentiment.

Nothing would be more volatile.

Only be most cautious of Sonia's mood.

And Elquille made a strong decision on her mind.

That was the time.

"- Yes, Your Majesty, Your Majesty. There's something I'd like to keep in your ear as soon as possible. May I?

From outside the room, I heard voices like that.

He is one of the ministers of the Kingdom of Cerda, one of the Sonians.

The current kingdom of Cerda has been swept away by both the Carmine and Joamel factions with respect to its upper echelons, and is occupied by the Lower and Middle Class Beast (Warbeast) nobles who have formed it into Sonia.

"We're taking it in now! Later......"

"Fair enough, Sonia. As long as you ask for the requirements, okay? You just have to judge after that."

That's what Elquille says and forgives Sonia.

The reign of the Kingdom of Cerda is ostensibly stable, but internal dissatisfaction is swirling.

Whenever and no matter what time there is a revolt, it is not strange.

So you can't neglect these things.

"Oh, really? Then, if His Majesty says so…"

For Sonia, the encounter with Erkühr is more important than the Kingdom of Cerda.

But if that's what the beloved Elquille says, then naturally Sonia will follow suit.

"Say the requirements first. Briefly."

"Yes!... Cassandra on the run has been discovered! We're tied up now."

"... ho"

"I see."

The color of Erkür's and Sonia's eyes changed.

Elquille slowly pulls Sonia away from her body.

"To the king's capital, bring him. Right now."

Elquille ordered that in a cold voice.

Kingdom of Cerda, during the sight.

Until not long ago, Hilderick II, but before that, in that place, where the throne of Laus I was placed, two thrones were placed so as to line up.

Erkühl sits on the right and Sonia sits on the left respectively.

The sloppy, side-by-side ministers had also completely changed their faces.

While conscious that there was no longer a Chelda kingdom of which he knew, the woman - Joamel's daughter, the late Hilderick II's pet princess, Cassandra - broke her knee and rubbed her forehead against the floor.

Silence rules the neighborhood.

First of all, it was...... Erkür who broke that silence.

"Is there anything open? Cassandra."

"... oh, I'm afraid"

Cassandra looked up, shaking her voice.

There was a man with cold, frozen lake-like eyes.

Next to it, a woman turns her gaze to Cassandra as if even a bug were looking down.

Meanwhile, the cold-eyed man - Elquille - seriously observes Cassandra.

(Hmm, did Hilderick II like this kind of woman?)

Is the year about the middle of thirty?

Sure, the beauty is shady because of her age, but she was definitely beautiful.

Not a bad hobby for a woman.

And so on and so on. Erkühl praised it in his heart.

Most importantly, there was no interest in Elquille for a woman who was already getting shady at her age.

Such Cassandra said with tears in her eyes.

"Please... please! Whatever happens to me, I don't care! Only my young child, only my child, please give me my life..."

"You're a glamorous woman while you refuse to give orders to appear, Your Majesty and I."

Sonia said in a frigid, cold voice.

Sonia's eyes had a clear color of hatred for Cassandra.

Sonia is Hilderick II's fiancée.

Cassandra, on the other hand, is the mistress of Hilderick II.

Sure, Sonia didn't like Hilderick II or anything... but her fiancée's obsession with a woman other than herself was annoying to add to that.

And if I'm obsessed with that woman and she neglects me... naturally hates me too.

For Sonia, who has high pride, externally, Cassandra's presence was intolerable.

"Your Majesty, such a woman, even now..."

"Wait."

Erkühl blocked Sonia's words with a cold voice.

Then he puts his hand on his chin and shows him a bare gesture to think about for a while before asking.

"Sure, there was one two-year-old girl and one newborn boy, was there?

"Yes..."

Naturally, they are both Hilderick II's children.

For Sonia, Cassandra may be someone she hates as much as she wants to kill, but for Elquille, it doesn't matter.

More problematic than that is her child.

Her son inherits the blood of the royal family of the Kingdom of Cerda, the Lupus clan sect and the Geicelic family.

Given that Sonia is from the Gayseria family, a branch of the Lupus clan sect...

The son of Cassandra is the more orthodox king, given only his paternal lineage.

That's why it's that kid who really has business with Elkühr.

Cassandra herself, it doesn't matter for the price.

So unfortunately, her wish to "only help my children because I don't care what happens to me" cannot be heard.

(Well, what is it...)

Elquille spins ideas.

Sure, her children are dangerous molecules, but when asked if they are dangerous enough to kill them, a little doubt arises.

Would you bother to set up a rebellion with a mixed race of people? and.

Besides, Cassandra is not a regular room or a side room, she's just a concubine...... I mean, the kid is a bastard.

(Killing a baby is a bad review...)

Regardless of the necessary bad reviews, I have never gone beyond avoiding unnecessary bad reviews.

Especially in governing the Kingdom of Cerda in the future.

(I mean, even if I did, actually, it would be a hassle if that was a shadow fighter and the real thing... etc., and Cecilia is going to be mad at me, and um, how to not kill it and lose its value as a flag on it...)

And when I thought about it for a while, a proposal came up behind Erkühl's brain.

"Cassandra, is there something you... aren't you making a big mistake?
