Seirei Gensouki ~Konna Sekai de Deaeta Kimi ni~

Episode 119: Discussion in the Basement

Upon entering the dining room, Rio took the initiative to offer a servant and headed to the simplified kitchen. It is only an action to appeal to the attitude that you are only a third party.

Even so, the dining room and the kitchenette are connected, so if you want to hear it, the story is out of context.

"The teacher wants to see your father, but Count Claire should come down to this basement early tomorrow morning. It seems that the search party faces are also lodging in the mansion now, so it seems difficult to get around."

And, first, Christina opened up and gave us the information Celia wanted to know.

"I see. I also thought it would be wasted if I were in Wang Capital, but I was fortunate. Then it seems better to wait for my father to come."

"Yes, we have a lot of time, so it would be nice to have a lot to talk about in the meantime"

When we discussed it that far, they gazed at each other.

"And even if I said it, what can I tell you from?

Celia opens up, as she explores Christina's way out.

"Right. What bothers me is how we got out of the castle with each other? As far as I can tell, there were rumors in the castle that a teacher might have been abducted."

"I wasn't abducted. I escaped the castle of my own free will."

"May I ask why?

Asked, Christina looked straight at Celia.

Overlapping gaze clouds Celia's face like she's subtly sorry.

"... I am ashamed to have left the castle because I wanted to escape the mission imposed on me as a nobleman"

"Is that from a political marriage to Charles-Albeau?

"Yes. Sometimes you have to marry someone you don't want. I understand that that is the mission imposed on aristocratic women. But still, I couldn't convince myself to marry him politically"

Nodding, Celia spoke heavily.

"Well, naturally. I think I made the right decision."

Let Christina lightly support Celia's chosen behavior.

Celia blinked unexpectedly. Christina smiles dull and continues her words.

"Indeed, we are not free to choose our fiancée in our position. But that's because it's for the house, and hence for the country. I can't admit such profits - rather, it's not worth complying with a vicious political marriage"

"Does the princess think it would be harmful to the country for me and him to marry politically?

Celia asked Christina what she meant when she ran out of evil.

"Rather than that, the very existence of that man is harmful to the kingdom of Beltram today. Didn't you get out of the castle because your teacher thought so, too?

"... wrong, I thought. Even though it leaves results, the way it's too forceful. Everything."

"You weren't sure?

"Because I'm not the one who decides whether I'm wrong or not"

Celia gets an ambiguous (ambiguous) grin.

"So you regretted it? Leaving the castle."

"No, I don't just regret it"

Now Celia shakes clearly or not. Cristina then smiled furiously,

"Then why don't you?"

And that's what I said.

"Regardless, some aristocrats will deny what Dr. Celia has decided to do. But I thought the Duke of Albor was doing it the wrong way. I thought it was right to leave the castle. I pierced that will. I have no regrets."

Talk, Christina points her deep purple eyes straight at Celia.

Celia also stared back at Christina.

"Then it's up to us to be judged if that decision was really the right one. And it is we who live in this country who judge…, at least, I personally support your decision."

"If you say so, I'm fortunate..."

Celia grins like she has some difficulty reacting.

"Doesn't it matter what Dr. Celia wants to do in the future? So being back in this mansion doesn't mean you've abandoned being a nobleman in our country, does it?

"Is that... is that eligible for me now..."

Celia answered Christina's question with a troubled face.

"Oh, I think I deserve that. I'm also on my fleeing and lurking body, but I never meant to give up being royal. It all depends on what you do as a royalty and what the consequences will be - and I believe it all depends there."

"... I see"

Celia snorts as she roars at Christina's words, which I let speak resolutely.

Celia thought the same thing, but she wasn't confident.

Christina against makes me feel strongly confident and ready.

I guess that doesn't mean I'm never bothered. You can't stay out of the castle and not worry about anything, knowing your position as a princess and running away.

If I could stay without worries, I'd be a look-alike leisurer or just ignorant of the public.

And Celia knows that Christina is neither of them.

So why the hell did Christina want to leave the castle - and Celia wanted to know about it.

"Dear Christina, may I ask you a question, too?

"Yes, I don't mind."

Celia spoke to me, and Christina responded unrelentingly.

"Why did the princess think to leave the castle?

"For the Duke of Albor I got in the way - no, because I was no longer worth using. I decided to leave the royal castle because I also felt in danger."

Celia's face tenses slightly to the less serene narrative.

"Did you think the Duke of Albor would do harm to the princess?

"Yeah, that guy right now could do it. We are taking the summoned brave and we are losing our reluctance to royalty."

"But there is only one reason why the Duke of Albor would harm the Princess's life..."

"That man is an ambitious man. You're looking to exclude the current royalty and produce the next king from the Duke of Albor's house."

"So you think that makes the princess a deceased? Doesn't it make much sense to do that?

The throne of the Kingdom of Beltram is hereditary.

Those who have a high right to inherit the throne are eligible to become the next generation of kings in turn, and the absolute condition of succession to the throne requires that they be the direct descendants of the king, and it is determined by national law that the outgoing descendants and the male descendants will prevail and acquire a high succession rank.

It is unlikely that the rank of succession to the throne will be overridden unless the right to inherit the throne is extinguished for reasons such as death, renunciation or deprivation, or unless new male descendants are born with only female descendants.

Christina and Flora, born between King Philip III and his rightful wife Beatrice, now hold the first and second throne inheritance rights, respectively, under which the children made between the side chambers take their names.

The youngest daughter of the Duke of Albor is also married to Philip III as one of the side chambers, but the order of inheritance of the children born in the meantime is quite low.

Moreover, there is no great significance in killing one or two of those in the upper order, because if a person with the right of succession to a higher position has a new child, the rank of heir to the lower throne will be lowered.

Still, there are no examples in the past of attempted assassinations, but those whose rank rises due to assassinations and benefit are placed in suspicious and natural positions, and are double-edged (offal) swords that may later leave their roots behind.

In addition, since the authority of the Bertram royal family was backed by the divine authority of the Six Wise God, inflicting harm on the royalty is tantamount to treason against God.

Even though we are gaining real power, we are not talking about ignoring the social structure that should be observed at the very least in order to ensure legitimacy.

That is why the Duke of Albor - although it was in the context of force - takes the form of a peaceful transfer of real power from King Philip III, and may not have gone as far as the seizure (greeting) of the throne.

Yet, if you come here, step over that line, and the Duke of Albor no longer hates (or says) harm to the royal family, it is not a calm story.

"Yeah, I'm sure Dr. Celia's right. Until now, it was difficult to realize that man's ambitions."

Say, Christina takes a deep sigh.

"But you think there's been some change in circumstances?

Cristina snorted as Celia sat down and spit.

"It's a business belly, but the summons of a brave man has made it possible for that man's ambitions to materialize. That man is trying to get his own granddaughter engaged as the brave man's rightful wife. It must be an abdominal desire to have a child born in the meantime as the next generation of kings."

That's what Christina tells me, and Celia's face catches on.

"When it comes to the granddaughter of the Duke of Albor, is it Lord Loris? Sure, then the possibilities...... But the country will split up. I can't believe we're ignoring national law and overturning our existing order of succession to the throne."

Originally Christina, the First Princess, and, in the next place, Flora, the Second Princess, have made a pact with the brave and are on a legitimate path to greater royal authority.

Because the brave man is an apostle of the Six Wise God and dwells in him more authority than the king, and if he poorly engages those who have less right to inherit the throne, then his descendants may also be born with only authority alongside the next king.

If you say that you will be bound to someone who does not have real rights or status, there will be no great harm, but when you are engaged to someone who has both real rights and status, it can be a difficult situation if you do not take due account of them.

And if Christina is right, she is not willing to give such consideration to the current Duke of Albor, but intends to marry her granddaughter and the brave one, and to push his descendants to the next king -.

If so, it may not be helpful to affirm that his presence is indeed harmful to the country - Celia thought instantly.

"The Kingdom of Beltram is already bisected. And that's why the Duke of Albor is afraid that I will approach the brave. Since the brave were summoned, I have hardly been allowed to act freely."

Talk about it and let Christina peek into her mouth (cuckoo) with a woven grin of anger and awkwardness.

"You were making such serious progress while I was away from the country. As long as you're ashamed of yourself."

Celia glanced at me because she had feelings for me.

"I'm sorry I'm talking to you. Warm drinks are ready. Go ahead."

Then, there, Rio came back from the simple kitchen.

On the tray are four ceramic teacups - from which comes the scent of sweet citrus honey.

Celia took a softly deep breath and calmed down her darkened mood.

"Thank you, Hart. This..."

"It's hot lemonade. There's also a mixture of honey and grated apples."

"Sounds delicious. I'd love to."

Celia gave me a soft grin. It's a healing smile that reassures the viewer.

"Yes, be careful not to burn it because it's hot"

Rio smiles with a grin and returns the words, feeding them to their respective seats.

"Thank you. Sit down, if you like. Sir Amakawa."

And Christina spoke to Rio.

"Excuse me."

Nodding, saying no, then Rio sits down next to Celia.

"It shouldn't be poisoned, but feel free to taste poisonous. I can do whatever you want."

He went on to ask if Rio would be poisonous to Christina and Vanessa sitting face to face.

There is a high degree of inevitability that the poisonous taste will take place than it is a beverage made by the first meeting Rio and spoken by Christina, the royal family.

Christina and the others won't think it's poisoned either, but this kind of thing is like a promise or a ritual that should be formally followed.

So, by suggesting from himself, Rio decided to create a poisonous air.

"I care, I'm in pain. Then I'll..."

"Fine. Let's have it."

I threw away Vanessa, who tried to do the poisonous taste, and Christina put her mouth on the cup without any hesitation (cunt).

"Oh, that's delicious."

Eyes peeled and Christina mouthed her thoughts.

"Hih, princess!

Vanessa, who had been taken aback, protested hastily.

"I don't mind. If he wants to kill us, he will. Something you could have done in the first battle you encountered."

"That's right..."

Pushed by Christina, who shakes the kaburi and talks neatly, Vanessa gets stuck in the words.

"I trust Dr. Celia. I'll trust her if she's using it."

Christina told me if I should say the vessel was big or thoughtful.

"... I understand"

A small sigh, Vanessa breaks. When I gently put my mouth on the cup, the unexpected sweetness spread to my tongue, circling my eyes.

"By the way, Sir Amakawa. May I ask you a few questions?

Christina turned her gaze to Rio and cut out the story.

"Whatever. To the best of my ability,"

He shrugs his shoulders a little and Rio takes the lead.

"Thank you. Let's start with your relationship with Dr. Celia. This way you're escorting me, can I assume that you're involved in Dr. Celia's escape from the royal castle?

"Yes, Master Celia is my benefactor. In return, I have guided my escape from the royal castle."

"I asked Hart to do it. Dear Christina,"

Celia added words when Rio spoke in a talk that seemed as if the blame for Celia leaving the castle lay with herself. You want to pierce the stance that you left the royal castle only by your own will.

"... I see. So you think the Kingdom of Galark is not involved in bringing Dr. Celia?

Asked, Christina stared at Rio's face.

"Yes, rather than the other day, I was named Knight of Honor in the Kingdom of Galark, so I can't get involved."

Let Rio give it a good head start.

"Have you been an honorary knight lately?

Christina blinked a little unexpectedly. But in the words of Rio that follows, the expression is stained with even more astonishing colors.

"Yeah, it was only a few days ago. Before that, he was a civilian, a wanderer."

"... civilians? Though it behaves overflowingly (abundantly) in upbringing for a long time. Compared to their noble children, they don't have that color."

and Christina praising Rio for her standing behavior.

"It's an honor to speak to you."

Rio bowed his head small and gave a loving laugh.

(He was a civilian. And Dr. Celia is the benefactor.... but the teacher tended to cage (also) in the college, and where did he relate? When you were returning to your territory? Or -)

I hold the unequivocal thought of Christina somewhere as I turn my exploring gaze to Rio.

"Hey, it doesn't really matter, but when did you and Dr. Celia get to know each other?

"Was it nearly ten years ago now?"

"Nearly ten years ago..."

Would I have been to the extent of entering or not entering the Royal College of Beltram by then, even when I was so immature that I was entertained by its surroundings and was arrogant by mistake that there was nothing I could not do - and I think Christina does that.

Exactly a youthful past that I don't really want to recall, but it doesn't matter now.

So Christina gently closed the door to her memory of sleeping deep in her heart, whilst subtly hissing her face.

"What's wrong?

I perceive a slight change in her expression and Rio asks.

"... no, it's nothing"

Christina waved slowly and for the first time.

It would be a lie to say you don't care about Hart's relationship with Celia, but now there's no time to be out of line with the story.

Also, it's not too good to hurt Hurt's mood too badly because it's too root-digging leaf digging information, and I decide to keep any further prying down.

"Shall I put the story back? Without the involvement of the Kingdom of Galark, you said you rescued Dr. Celia entirely individually?

"Yes, you're right."

Rio nods instantly.

"Given the security situation at the castle, it's a little unbelievable... but I don't know if I can believe it any more than I'm also breaking into this place this way. Though I'm just curious how to do that."

Talk, Christina narrows her eyes softly.

"It would be helpful if we could keep it a secret there. We also crossed a number of dangerous bridges."

Cristina's indirect request for disclosure was firmly denied, and Rio glanced at her from the front.

"... ok. Well, that's good. And because of that, Dr. Celia is here, so don't ask."

After about a few seconds of staring, Christina exhales deeply and breaks.

"Thank you, it hurts"

Thankfully, Rio lowered his head gently.

"What can I say instead, but could you let me know what's going on here in the Kingdom of Galark these days? 'Cause it doesn't matter insofar as it's irreplaceable."

"I understand. Right. So the other day, at the castle in the Kingdom of Galark, guests from neighboring countries were invited to unveil the brave Satsuki-Smeraghi, did you know?

Rio decided to give us some information about the night club earlier. Christina shows interest.

"No, it's my first ear. Because outside information was controlled in the castle. Did you attend that night club?

"Yes. We also needed people from the Kingdom of Beltram who are defying the Duke of Albor. Now we call ourselves Restoration."

Responding to the presence of anti-Alborians and the presence of 'Restoration', Christina's eyebrows moved tingly.

"" Restoration, "I wonder if the substantive leaders are places like the Duke of Jugneau. Flora..."

"You seemed fine. Fortunately, I have been honored to speak with Master Flora. Now it seems that you are acting with the brave Hiroaki-Sakata."

Rio answers a reassuring grin to a question that is probably thrown around. Christina then leaked a ho relieved breath.

"Yes, you're safe. Fine."

I'm saying it slightly less nicely, but my mouth (crease) is slightly loose and it conveys that I look happy.

I guess that's all I care about my sister.

Christina is a girl who was once Rio's classmate, but has never had a chance to have a decent conversation like this.

If I knew Rio was the one talking like this right now, I wouldn't know what kind of reaction I would have, but it seemed a little surprising to make me peek at the casual kindness like this because I was an oligarchy (maybe) at the time.

"Nevertheless, you still had the brave summoned beneath the Flora and the others. Louis-Sigekra, Hiroaki-Sakata and Satuki-Smeragi. There are three brave men found in this. And then there must have been holy stones in the Kingdom of St. Stella too..."

"Yes. The Kingdom of St. Stella also has a valiant summons. His name is Takahisa-Shendo."

And, Rio tells Christina information about precious times.

"... maybe even attended a night club to the brave men of the Kingdom of St. Stella?

Cristina stares and reveals her surprises. Maybe he was surprised that even the closed Kingdom of St. Stella showed movement.

"Yep. Kingdom of Galark, 'Restoration', a rebel force of King Bertram's government, Kingdom of St. Stella. These three forces, who have brave men, will have strengthened their relationship in this night club."

"Sounds like the international situation is changing a lot while you're under house arrest for a bit. Things are happening now...... I guess it's not funny to the Duke of Albor that a brave man was summoned, especially under Flora......"

Saying, Christina peeks at the worrying look on her face.

"From now on, the antagonism between the Kingdom of Beltram itself and 'Restoration', between the two, will be so strengthened. Behind" Restoration, "he also refrains from the Kingdom of Galark. I am also satisfied with the reason why the Duke of Albor is bloody eyed in his search for His Highness."

When Rio said that, Celia, who was listening in silence, opened her mouth.

"But then there's one thing that bothers me..."

"What is it?

Christina turns a blind eye to Celia.

"Does the presence of search party personnel near here mean that the princesses' footsteps are almost grasped?

To Celia's question, Christina snorted.

"Probably. Taking us out of the castle in secret has put Count Claire on suspicion of conspiracy."

Clouding her face like she's sorry, Christina says.

"Did my father lead the escape of the princess?

"It was my father who made the plan. There is only a princely and dependable being today, the Count of Claire, who told me to send me to Flora. I managed to escape to the land with the help of the Count, but it was only a few days ago that I was unable to move and hide in this basement."

"... things have gone hand in hand with the current situation. Then this basement doesn't seem perfectly safe either."

That's what I'm gonna say, Celia.

"It seems that the search party personnel are staying at the mansion now, and they seem to have noticed the existence of a hidden room slightly. The Count seems to be doing well, but it's only a matter of time before he breaks down his paralysis and starts a forceful search."

Speaking of which, Christina sighed deeply.

"... how about the princess? Will you keep lurking in this place like this?

"I was just worried about what to do with it"

Do you want to follow the hopeful observation that you will not be discovered and stay here, or do you want to walk out of this place knowing the risks?

The former will do everything well except eat time if things go according to hope, but hope is only hope. It is unclear how prolonged the search will be, and it is expected that the escape will be blocked when the search comes within reach, at which point it could be game over.

On the other hand, the latter is likely to be discovered at the time of escape, but is free to move around to some extent if he gets out. If we avoid the eyes and proceed successfully to our destination, we will be able to use our time more effectively than staying in this place for the disciples (pranks).

Either way, it's Christina who weighs the pros and cons and decides whether to leave or stay.

"I see..."

Celia nodding with a small difficult face. The side of it, Rio watched silently.

"By the way, Dr. Celia, how is the hair color now? I remember her hair was beautiful white."

As I recall, Christina throws such a question.

"Oh, uh, this..."

Looking slightly moved, Celia turned her gaze to Rio. When Rio snorts, he exhales small and ho and opens his mouth.

"They're changing the color of their hair with magic props."

"May I ask where you can get that magic prop?

Although the current exchange may have some approximate conjecture, Christina dared ask.

"I made it. Your Highness."

Instead of Celia, Rio answers.

"Is the technique of changing the color of your hair something that is commonly distributed? As far as I can tell, I've never seen it within the Kingdom of Beltram."

There are numerous surgical ceremonies in circulation in the Strahl region, but not all of them are open to the public.

Inside there are also surgical ceremonies that are kept secret by some groups, or by individuals, and managed in secret.

Sorcery using such a technique is treated as a secret technique and is not easily leaked outside.

Thus, its value is sometimes immeasurably high. So much so that in the history of the Strahl region, which spans more than a thousand years, there has been a war between small nations over one secret technique.

"I guess. At least it wasn't made using a commonly distributed surgical formula. It's called secret technique."

"... Forgive my disrespect, but would you not be able to accommodate about four of the same magic tools? No matter what, thank you very much."

Christina cut out the conversation to go straight.

Demonic props that can change the color of your hair - from her on the run, you'd want a substitute for enough to get your hands out of your throat.

Christina's light purple hair is a rare shade in the Kingdom of Beltram, and the Japanese pair of dark hair outside the dining room is rare in the Strahl region, because the more she walks outside, the more she stands out.

Nothing. Demonic props are not the only way to change the color of your hair.

However, hair dyeing using paints that are commonly used is not suitable for use as a means of disguise because it can easily become an unnatural shade and the appearance of the rashes becomes obviously unnatural.

However, Celia in front of me now produces such natural shades that she doesn't even realize it when it's called natural ground hair. Neither does the tracking side think you can change the color of your hair so precisely.

"Right. If you can swallow some of the terms using a magic contract, lending it for a limited time is not stingy."

He showed Rio's attitude in accepting the offer with uncertain conditionality.

In the future, just in case something happened, it seemed like a good choice to leave Christina a loan as a negotiating card.

I just have some demonic props Mizuki and some spares left for emergencies that Mizuki and I don't need any hassle.

It should be noted that there are several kinds of sorcery contracts, but now I will discount that explanation.

"Is that true?

I'm curious about the terms, but Christina's expression is definite.

"Yeah, later on in terms of terms. If there's anything else you'd like to talk about, tell us first."

It wasn't until we had all the talk to boil down the terms - that's what we thought, and once Rio had cut off the subject and encouraged him to go ahead.

"If so, is there one more thing you would like to say from me right now? Dr. Celia -"

That said, Christina looks straight at Celia. The dialogue that follows -,

"Would you accompany me to 'Restoration'?

It was supposed to be an indication, or a word soliciting Celia under herself.

You expected that offer, and there's no way Celia moved it. But he is badly clouding his face.

"... could you give me some time to think about it?

The tour took place and Celia withheld an immediate response. I'm not looking at you, but you seem to care somewhat about Rio sitting next to you.

Christina's expression, on the other hand, is really cool.

"Whatever. Shall I keep it around here today? Count Claire should come down to the basement tomorrow morning. I don't mind asking the answer after talking to the Count."

"Thank you for your extraordinary consideration"

Celia lowered her head to Christina with a pepper.
