"So, what do you want, sis?
"No, what to do, I mean ......
Yes, helplessly.
The empire is another country.
The kingdom of Darrison is another country.
If this country was invaded, I would work as a nobleman of this country and to protect the people I care about, "as long as it's not dangerous for me".
But there's no reason and no need to meddle in a battle between two other countries without permission.
Although the Kingdom of Darrison and this country are friendly countries, they don't have a security treaty or anything like that. So there's no obligation to join the war without conditions just because one side starts a war.
And I personally promised Princess Lemire that I would help her in case of a personal crisis. I didn't mean to say that I would side with the country in a war. It's about pressure and coercion against domestic dangerous elements.
That's right, "whether it's an invasion from another country or a demon king's army," but it's about "protecting Princess Lemire from them," not about protecting the country or the entire population. It is a promise between me and HRH Princess Lemire, not a promise to the country.
The promise we made as a delegation was only to consider prioritizing the deployment of the equipment we developed, not to have anything to do with military cooperation.
In the first place, unlike my personal "promise to protect Princess Lemire," getting involved in a war with another country is not allowed without the kingdom's, or His Majesty the King's, instructions.
It's fine to help individuals as an angel or princess maiden, but to meddle in another country's war from the side without permission is not good. I'm an aristocrat in this country: .......
It's a good thing that you're able to get your hands on a few of them, because they're not going to be the same as you.
Oh, of course, if you wish, you can bring your brother Prince and his attendants along with you.
Well, for now, I'm going to meet the king and hear what he has to say at .......
* * *
That's why I'm here to talk to you.
This is the home of the self-serving Sabine.
...... I mean, it's a royal palace.
And talk to the king.
I'm not sure what I can do for you, but I just wanted to get an idea of the situation: ......
At my words, the king with a complicated look on his face.
No, I'm not saying anything crazy, I .......
It's not a good idea for a 'grand alliance' to be occupied and annexed by a hostile country after losing a war, since the country of Princess Gegege is a member of the 'grand alliance'. Besides, if we get that country, won't they go after the next one?
Saying that, I was about to ask the king what he was going to do: .......
"Gegegegehime? What's that? What kind of monster changes?
Oh, that's a name that only goes by between Sabine and me: .......
"Uh, it's Princess Lemire, Your Highness.
...... Don't say that name anywhere else. I'm not going to call you by that name. I'm not pretending!
"...... Sure, I know, ......
"What's that 'pause', what's that 'pause'!
Shut up .......
...... Anyway, don't mess with Mituha on your own. If you decide to do something, always consult with us beforehand! I love it!
"Yes, that's of course .......
The only thing I'd like to do in an emergency is to save Princess Lemire from a 'crossover' in case of an emergency.
I don't mind. The prince and the viziers will be with you.
Yes, with that many people, a government in exile could be established.
If the prince is captured, the rightful heir to the throne will be seized by the other side, so it would be meaningless if the sister and brother set is not rescued.
It's not that there's no point in rescuing Princess Lemire, but from the point of view of the future of the country and the happiness of the people, it's not.
I can't eradicate the enemy on my own to begin with.
No, I could physically do it, of course. Also, if I hired everyone from Wolffang or transposed a large rock over the enemy's main camp: .......
But it's not like you have to get rid of a fireball or go out and kill people for the love of it. It's not that I'm a homicidal maniac.
The only time you need to do that is when you have no choice but to protect yourself and the people you care about.
"Hey, sister, Lemire just called!
I was talking with the king when Sabine came in.
Yes, since this was a sensitive topic, it was just me, the King and the Prime Minister, without His Highness the Dauphin, the First Princess or Sabine, so it was "just small talk".
And yet, Sabine burst into the king's office without knocking.
If anyone other than Sabine, even other princesses and princes, would not escape a very severe reprimand.
Even at ......, Sabine, most things are extraterritorial.
I think you're being a little too lenient.
Well, I can't speak for others either .......
And this time, no one scolded me because I seemed to have brought some highly urgent information.
It's not time for regular communication, is it?
Regular contact is once every three days. Today is a different day and a different time zone.
'Yes, my sister is in King's Landing, but I've been leaving the divine power switch on for a few days now, just in case. I thought I might get a call from Lemire after hours at .......
This is it.
That's what I'm talking about, Sabine. Think for yourself and take the appropriate action without someone telling you to.
Meticulous like a demon and bold like an angel .......
It's a good thing that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about the fact that you're not going to have to worry about it.
And no one is going to complain about it.
It's not a brave man who can say something tactful like 'put a title of respect' when they are talking so well together, isn't it? Both Princess Lemire and Sabine have a cold stare that almost kills that person when you make them uncomfortable, and it's quite a kudu. ......
What's the content?
"There is a disturbance in the Empire, and they want Mitsuha-chan to be ready to fulfill her promise. ......
"What's that? You know that's just lip service to protect Princess Lemire personally, and to silence domestic opposition!
No, it's a promise, and I'll keep it. ......
But it's not just that statement you're going to get away with, it's .......
Of course. Of course you're deliberately expanding and demanding that your sister go into battle.
...... or rather, even I would do that in this case. You can limit the damage to your country and garner support from other countries.
The power to be gained without cumbersome negotiations, gratuities and big debts at the national level after the fact. You can get the "Banner of Justice" that the messenger, or goddess, is on your side. I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future.
...... That's right, this is not the time to get all dolled up. I'm sure they'll cling to it with all their might.
Saying that, Sabine cowered her shoulders.
Gah~~!
Damn, you schemed, Princess Gegege!
