Looks like the chatter between my father and King Ceredonia is finally over, and we're going into the carriage that's been prepared for us over there.

It's more luxurious and bigger than the carriage we've been on.

Even when it comes to royalty riding, ours is a carriage for travel, so it would be natural to focus less on mobility.

Ride a luxurious and comfortable carriage and move towards the royal palace of the Kingdom of Harzion.

Inside are me and my father, my maid Alisa, and Anne, the head of the Magic Knights as an escort.

On the side of the Kingdom of Harzion is King Seledonia, Princess Irene, plus one escort over there.

"But Miss Irene is a grown one too! I was this little when I saw you before!

"Thank you. But at the width of that finger, it's about the size of a bean grain."

"Right! That's too small! Ha ha!

"Shut up..."

Why does this guy talk so loud?

Big carriages aren't like big halls, so they should sound big enough for everyone to talk to their neighbors.

Speaking lightly to Princess Irene, my father began talking to King Ceredonia again.

The seat is before me, Princess Irene, and next door, Alisa.

"Princess Irene, I'm sorry my father got wussa tangled up"

"No, he's a very interesting guy and this one is fun"

When I apologized, Princess Irene said so with a gentle smile.

I wish I hadn't offended you because you seem to think that from the bottom of my heart.

"Does Prince Crist refer to your father as his' father '?

"Hmm? Yeah, right. I don't want to call him" Father "when he's dead."

"Oh, really?"

Whoa, that wasn't what you said to Princess Irene like this.

I got you in trouble.

"Are you unfriendly with King Leonardo?

"No, it doesn't mean it's bad. It's just that I don't like it unilaterally."

"Oh, you are"

Answer me honestly again, it's been weird air.

Ha, I can't help it.

"... it's not like I totally hate my father. Instead, there's a lot of respect."

"Oh! You are"

"Yeah, no matter what you say, the best part is, you have a lot of trust from your people."

Yele, the head of the Knights, Anne, who is there now, and many other people trust and respect him about his father.

If it's for my father, few men are willing to risk their lives.

I never want to tell this to myself, but my father has absolute charisma that I don't have.

It's something you have at birth, so it's not something you can wear acquired.

My father is an idiot, a big idiot.

Yet I guess I can be king of the country because its charisma is absolute.

For example, the previous raid, my father went to the front line himself, even if the butlers and maids desperately stopped him.

Which kings of nations will stand on the battlefield with their own swords and shields?

All I can say is stupid.

But he also had the strength to do it and inspired the soldiers by what his father did.

My father has the power to attract and inspire people.

I can't do that, I don't have the power.

I guess that's what the thickness of trust from my father's men comes from.

"So as a king, I think there are many respectable parts. As a father, it's subtle."

"Oh, you are"

Praising my father is a little itchy, so I'll leave it a little derogatory at the end.

Yeah, there's really not much I can respect as a father.

"Me too, I respect your father. As king, as one father."

"As a father, I can't respect a king. He's about the king of the Kingdom of Begonia."

"Phew, is that right? I think he's a fun father."

"It might be fun, but it's noisy"

"I'm afraid I can't defend that either."

Princess Irene, who jokingly returns it, still laughs elegantly with a beautiful smile.

Speaking of which, maybe I can say something about Eric because I can't leak my voice outside this anymore.

"Princess Irene, is this carriage soundproofed?

"It's magical, so I don't think you can hear it outside unless it's too loud.... Unless it's as good as King Leonardo's voice"

"I won't make that stupid loud noise, so it's okay."

My father still talks in a loud voice with King Celedonia, Anne, and the escorts over there.

Of course, the only one who shouts is my father.

Princess Irene tries to keep her face close and listen to me, either because I heard the soundproofing measures or because she keeps her voice down a little.

I also talk to her in a voice that only Alisa next door can hear.

"Earlier, Eric said he wasn't here, but he's just not here as an escort, and he's coming to Harzion State"

"Huh! Is that true?

"Yes, I'm on a mission, so it's up to me to show up in front of us."

By appointment, Eric and the others do not plan to show up to act in hiding.

Unless there's more to it.

"I'd love to meet you in person and thank you very much"

"Eric would like to see Princess Irene, perhaps."

"Huh! Oh really..."

Princess Irene, whose face turns a little red on my words.

When I met him before, Eric said, 'I will definitely come back to see him again'.

You were so enthusiastically approached, it would be natural to become aware of it.

Good for you, Eric.

At least it feels good.

"Um, is Prince Crist close to Master Eric? When I called Eric's name earlier, I felt like a friend."

"Yeah, right. He's my only best friend."

To my words, Princess Irene opens her eyes and is astonished.

It would be odd to think normally that a prince of a country and just a soldier are best friends.

But...

"Eric's not the only one who sees me as a prince, he sees me as a crist."

Really, I think so.

For some reason, he sees me not as a prince from the beginning, but as a friend.

I'm more than happy with that.
