Shinwa Densetsu no Eiyuu no Isekaitan

Episode 9: Black Prince

Empire History July 20, 1023.

Biru is in a room on the corner of the Duchess of Kelheit's mansion.

Large bed and chair for one. Nothing else.

Sleeping on the bed, Biru woke up by the morning sun that lit his face.

With his upper body up, Biru narrows his eyes to the glare of the sun as it plunges through the window.

He bit the stretch to death, then moved to crawl and looked around the room as he put his foot on the floor.

Looks like the Lord in this room woke up from within the sun and went somewhere.

(I wonder where to wash my face...)

Trying to find a water field in the hallway, I approached the door but I could open it from the other side.

Rosa appeared in a military uniform with a luscious atmosphere and a cramped chest.

"Hey, are you awake?"

"I just woke up. So, I'd like to wash my face a little..."

Rosa pointed her thumb behind her back to Biru, who tried to ask where it was.

"Before that, I have a guest for you."

Billu sends his gaze behind Rosa as he leans his neck against her with a strange face.

Standing in front of the open door was a well-dressed, elongated man - there was the Greek Chancellor.

"My apologies for earlier in the morning"

To him lowering his head, Biru raises a question mark.

"How come there's a Greek Chancellor here?

"We have come to deliver a letter from His Majesty the Emperor. I didn't think I could leave it to anyone else, and it's up to me to go out knowing the inconvenience."

"A letter from His Majesty?

"It will be here. Please read it alone."

Handing over the letter, Chancellor Guissi leaves with his head bowed when he glances at Biru, who looks suspicious.

Biru, who dropped that back off, noticed Rosa sending a gaze to the letter.

"Want to see?

"If you decide it's something you can show me."

With a shrugged shoulder, Rosa starts walking down the hallway and looks right back.

"Will you come to the dining room when you're done reading, or I'm ready for breakfast. And if you want to wash your face, the well is in the garden."

Waving back and leaving behind the words "I'm waiting in the dining room," Rosa turns around the corner of the hallway.

Billu dropped his gaze on the letter and made one stretch.

The content of the letter is largely predictable.

(... wash your face first)

In the garden of the mansion, Biru washes his face when he reaches the well.

But I realized I didn't have a towel.

Depressed about the water getting into my eyes, I think about what to do.

(Can we keep this up……)

When I gave up half the time and pointed my foot in the dining room, there was something soft on my head.

When you take it in your hand, it's a white towel, wipe the droplets that float in your face before you know who dropped in.

"Thank you, Helper."

I tried to thank you, but I couldn't tell you until the end.

Because there was Aura, who was proud of her anger and anger.

"... were you enjoyed last night? Black Prince."

Disgust is seeping from the verses of her words.

There were many things I wanted to say about why Aura was here, but I decided to hear the words that particularly bothered me the most.

"- What's a black prince?

"A lot of nobles say that."

"About me?

"Yeah, he said the black prince brought him into the mansion holding the weakness of a young widow"

"So, this is bullshit..."

"Rest assured. I just thought about it."

"…… don't be surprised."

"The truth is, it's called the Black Prince who spoken of the woman of steel."

"Ko, woman of steel?

"It's the Duchess of Kelheit's" alias. "That's what they call it because they kept turning down engagements from other houses by various means."

Aura turns her contemptuous eyes toward me.

"It must also be natural for it to be a rumor, as he spoken it down in a short time and disappeared into the mansion. Few among the nobles say they want to teach that technique."

"Is that what's happening…………"

It's not like you didn't expect it because you did such a bold act in a place where nobles gathered in large numbers.

But I didn't think I wanted to teach you how to talk or that I was leaping that far.

What's wrong, Billy holds his head.

Aura approached her and looked up at Biru with her lead eyes.

"I told you to be careful with women like that yesterday."

"You did...... sorry"

"It will be at the hands of the Kelheit family that rumors spread so quickly. I wouldn't say anything about lifting you up at another house. If I were you, I would spread the rumor with the foolish prince who was bewitched by the widow and discredit him."

"I guess I will too."

"But on the contrary, she spread rumors and raised her ratings. I'd like to send you a compliment on that arm - but I'm sending you an insult."

"……… I can't help it if they think so"

"Please be really careful from now on"

A sighing Aura glanced at "Princess Kurotsubaki".

"And what was Princess Kurotsubaki doing? Does it not work in the crisis of the Lord's chastity?

"Hmm... for the time being, I don't think you're going to listen to me."

"Surely," Princess Kurotsubaki lived with a spirit, didn't she?

"Yeah. Exactly. If you feel your life is in danger, you'll protect me though......"

"That's a canary warped spirit, isn't it?"

"…… right."

A thousand years ago - "Until I received the love of the Emperor, he asked me to say yes.

However, from the time the Emperor appeared before Biru, it seemed to me that Himeko Kurotsubaki had become my wife.

I left it there for 1,000 years.

It's not strange to think about it that it's strangled, and it might even be a miracle that it can be worn this way now.

I noticed a letter Aura had in her hand to Billy looking down at her military uniform.

"What is that?

"Oh, it's a letter from His Majesty the Emperor."

"You haven't read it yet?

"I wanted to skip the drowsiness. I thought it was time to wash my face first. Besides, I generally anticipate the content of the letter."

Aura nodded at Bilu's words.

"You're writing about attacking the Principality of Richter."

"If we don't retaliate, the people will say we are weak, and the nobles may be dissatisfied. The worst part is that there are countries in tune with the Principality of Richter."

And, taking over what Aura wanted to say, Biru took the letter out of the envelope.

One parchment had the words as expected.

"……… Hmm."

"Was it still what you expected?

"Yeah. I guess that means getting credit."

"Isn't that the right match for your first line?"

The Duchy of Lichtein can be described as a bug breath from the recent defeat.

I could not achieve anything while mobilizing as many as 15,000 soldiers.

As a result, the Duke of Lichtein's courage must be waning.

With just a little intimidation, the nobles of the Principality must choose the path of surrender.

"It looks like General Keelo, the new commander of the Fourth Imperial Army, will lead the 10,000 marches to the Duchy of Richter. Looks like Liz's in there."

The Commander appears to have been replaced because General Roing was also discreetly disposed of as was the First Prince of Stobel due to the recent failure.

"To you?

"He writes to hurry back and rendezvous and join the Tabernacle. Well, I guess it's my job to make the weaker Duchy of Richter work for the weaker generals."

"You're having a good meal."

"Right. And then under the control of the northern part of the territory of Liechtenstein, we will reconcile it with the Principality of Liechtenstein."

"It would be a reasonable place. If we destroy the Principality of Lichtein, we will no longer have a country to trade in slaves."

"I sympathize with the Principality of Richter, who will only live for it."

Biru shrugged his shoulder, glancing again at the letter.

What bothers me is the last phrase I didn't tell Aura.

(So I guess the Greek Chancellor has been telling me to read it alone)

I can't imagine Aura saying anything else, but I don't know where it can come from.

Bilu cleans up the letter as he strives not to be enlightened inside.

Then I turned my eyes to Aura and said what I had been wondering.

"Speaking of which, why is Aura here?

She is the chief of staff of Prince Brutal III.

There is a possibility that rumors of it coming to the Kelheit family mansion may not have been heard.

"Nothing like what you're thinking is gonna happen."

"Are you here hiding or something?

"We didn't even need that kind of small work"

Aura replies to Biru, who leaned her neck.

"The Imperial Palace is now full of rumors from you. I just visited the Duchess of Kelheit's mansion and nothing goes wrong."

"You don't have time for that."

"That being said, for example, where I rumored that I had switched to you, and only that girl didn't have it, we'd all have to defend ourselves. Otherwise, indecisive nobles could flow into the Kelheit family."

Aura has a strong influence.

Her glorious history of war is dazzling in the eyes of the nobles, as well as the achievements that have hunted down Ferzen.

So now I can't make weird rumors, because that might induce a change of heart on the part of the nobles watching things change.

"It's a delicate time, so nobody's going to do anything about it."

"Yeah, you're right. So... what's Aura doing here?

"We're leaving here in half an hour, so say goodbye."

"……… to the West?

"Yes, there were remnants of the party raging all over the province of the genus Ferzen. Your Majesty has informed me of the crackdown."

"Well, I was hoping you could show me the Grand Empire, but we're too busy for each other."

"Unfortunately, we'll take that another time."

Aura lowered her head and said, "Now be rude. I will write to you later," he said, leaving.

I wanted to say goodbye to Alfred as well, but he will be ready to leave with him, and Biru will have to head to Fortress Berk soon from now on.

Back inside the mansion, Biru turned to the maid when she asked him where the dining room was.

A servant stands in front of a large door, and when he lowers his head, he opens the door.

"Sorry I kept you waiting"

"I don't mind. You should sit here."

Rosa shook her head sideways and turned to the chair next to her.

Make sure Billy sits down, and then Rosa slaps her hand.

Then came a servant with the dish from the door provided on the west side - connected to the kitchen.

The maid arranges the dishes without making any noise. Billu turns his face to Rosa before putting his hand on it.

"I decided to leave as soon as I ate."

Describing the same content as Aura's, Rosa smiled at something that made her feel anxious.

"Well, I'll have to see you off."

It was a large number of noblemen who greeted Biru outside the mansion after breakfast.

The moment Biru appeared, the beautifully aligned aristocrats knelt at once.

The act of the famous nobles bowing their heads down to one boy is a distraction to everyone.

An admirable breath is being exhaled from his throat by a guard who was now watching from a distance.

To avoid confusion on his face, Biru turns to Rosa in military uniform standing next to him.

She said with a charming smile.

"We just gathered the Oriental nobles who stayed in the Great Empire."

"I feel like there's too many of them."

With all this number, we wouldn't get together if we hadn't called out in advance.

Since when the hell did Rosa prepare herself, she moves so many nobles to admire the brilliant arms that no other house can understand.

Rosa laid her hand on Biru's shoulder with such emotions rising from her heart.

"Come on, let's go. Black Prince."

Bilu drew his face to a dialogue he had heard somewhere.

A luxurious carriage with fine decorations appears in front of such a bath.

One nobleman stood up and opened the door for me.

"Your Highness, please take a ride"

Biru, who got on board with Rosa pushing her back, spewed out words in a somewhat sighing mixture sitting on the couch.

"I need to ask you something."

There is only one person who turns his gaze. It's Rosa, wrapped in a military uniform with plenty of flesh.

She sits face-to-face and tilts her neck as she joins her feet with a cool face.

Any trick on her is a sophisticated move and a beautiful reflection.

This neighborhood should be referred to as the former Third Crown Princess.

"What is it?

The carriage moves slowly, and the nobles follow behind on the horse that was ready.

"I wonder how long I've had such a massive plan"

Billu's eyes emit a sharp light if the conspiracy or deception doesn't work.

Seeing that, Rosa with a bitter face shrugged her shoulder.

"It was the day Liz wrote to me. I thought it was an opportunity. This is no longer an annoying engagement story, and the Kelheit family can be saved."

"What would you have done if I wasn't descended?

"At that time, I was ready to support Liz again"

"What about my son-in-law?

"I was going to falsely take the orphan as my husband's hidden child. I told you, I'm not unrestrained."

"That's not the only reason you decided to support me."

"Did you notice?

"Right. I know there are other reasons when I look so far ready to remember."

…………

With the silence falling between the two, the scenery was changing as Biru glanced out the window.

As we passed through the gate, the private soldiers of the Eastern nobility who were waiting at Rosa's behest joined us.

Every soldier wears armor depicting the crest of the nobility, the Lord, with many crest flags swimming in the wind.

But the biggest standout is Biru's - a crest flag with a dragon grabbing a silver sword on the black ground.

The flag of a dragon floating in cloudless sunny weather ends in a sweeping word.

The face of the soldier holding it in his hand was tense or slightly trembling.

But there's also a mix of exhilarations somewhere, and that face looks proud.

If I went back inside the carriage, there would be a change.

Rosa, who placed the silence between the bundles, opened her expression tightly.

"What do you think of the Grants Great Empire today?

"…… I think you're strong. I'm just spreading the prints too far."

"Exactly. But - His Majesty is aiming to unify the central continent. So prints will continue to spread."

"I think the current territory is enough. If we spread this further, the emperor's glory may not reach the border."

"The previous emperor - my uncle insisted. But now the Emperor is keen to be the 13th of the Grand Twelve."

"You think you want deification?

"History is made in the hands of men. God is the same again. But half-baked merit does not allow deification. Even if it was the Emperor."

"You think that condition is the unity of the central continent?

"The first emperor became the" beginning god "in the achievements of founding the empire, and the second emperor became the" military god "in the achievements of ending the turmoil. For a variety of other reasons, all of them emperors who have contributed so much to the Empire."

Some of them became goddesses with exceptions. And, Rosa added, spinning words.

"A feat the emperors of history could not accomplish. By accomplishing that, the present emperor is trying to become a god.

"So you think that leads to why Rosa supports me?

"That's right. No matter how many emperors, their lives are not eternal. There is a chance that he will fall in the middle of his dream. I don't know what will happen then. I'm getting ready for that right now."

When Rosa spread her arms, she said why she supported Billu, its underlying.

"There is too much vast land in the Great Empire. Even if we expand our territory in the future, it will be difficult to maintain it. We shouldn't want this any more, because eventually, somewhere, there will be a breakdown. It becomes a spark that causes civil strife in the Great Empire."

Can't breathe, Rosa removed the first button on her military uniform.

"What this country needs now is stability. We need someone to look inside, not outside. So the late husband paid attention to Liz. I can't say I'm still young and mature. But I found the future of the Empire in Liz's pure, unspoilt mind. There's a danger, but there's no problem if the solid consolidate their sides - that's the arrow tip that determined it. My husband's been assassinated."

Rosa, who made her fist in remorse, stares out the window.

At the end of his gaze was the Imperial Palace, and the carriage was running down Central Avenue.

Rosa turns Biru to Biru again.

"Liz was forced to move to the left when she was stuck in a disintegrating faction. I was stunned by my impudence. That's why I'm grateful to you, for saving my cornered sister. I cried a lot of joy when I read the letter from Liz. And I came up with the idea of using you."

"To make Liz the emperor, right?"

Rosa lowers her head.

"I am sorry for you"

"No, I think I'd appreciate that."

Because I have no ambition to become an emperor.

"There is a possibility that he will be returned to Earth.

Such a person would cause unnecessary confusion about the throne.

Rosa smiled bitterly at Biru, who was well-informed.

"But. Whether you want it or not, the emperor is also made by the hands of men."

White fingertips are pointed at Biru.

"At that time - like being ready"

At the same time, the carriage window made a noise and shook.

Rosa, with her eyes rounded, looks out the window.

The people smiled and waved, "Black Prince!" He raised his voice.

There are people lined up on both sides of Central Avenue, with tons of petals dancing in the sky.

The open-air merchant also just now threw out his job and joined the line, waving at the carriage.

Everyone is jumping to see Biru at a glance or screaming loudly with their hands to look out for him.

"Come on, this is the popularity of the Military God (Mars). Even if they are descended, their popularity will not diminish."

Rosa looking out proudly said.

Bilu couldn't help but be surprised that the name "Black Prince" permeated the people more than a large crowd had gathered.

(No, planting. Even so, if one calls the name, the others imitate it)

As expected by Bilu, the "Black Prince" grand chorus quickly began.

But cheers that don't feel evil are comforting. Biru thinks that will never change.

Bilu smiled at the exhilaration coming up from the depths of his heart.

"It would be great. But that's as far as getting drunk."

Rosa stares at me with a serious face.

Let's talk about the future.

"…… As far as I'm concerned, I'd like to move away from Rosa and the others back to Fortress Berk."

"Are you worried about Liz?

"I have that, too. Sometimes I wonder."

"Hmm. Then you should head from the East to the Berk Fortress. I guess we can't hire private soldiers yet. I'll put an escort on from home, but what do we do?

Even though Bilu has become the Fourth Prince, he does not have a territory that is a source of income.

Depending on future achievements, the territory will be given down. Until then, the salaries of samurai officers will be the immediate funds, but they will be paid at a later date.

Furthermore, we have to hire private soldiers, but the salaries of third-degree samurai officers are not very much enough, but they cannot be paid.

Speaking to Chancellor Greesi, he'll lend it to me from the treasury, but I just want to avoid making borrowings.

That's why I decided to use Rosa - the Kelheit family.

"The escort is fine. Just give me a station carriage."

"Sure, security is good in the East, but it doesn't mean there are no bandits or monsters (monsters) at all. If you're worried about money, we'll take it all."

"If I put on an escort, I'll be late returning to the Berk Fortress. I want to catch up with Liz as soon as I can."

"If you say so much, you can't help it. Let me get you the fastest station carriage we have."

"Thank you, I'll pay you back."

"I don't care. What are you going to do now?

After the attack on the Duchy of Lichtein - you must be talking about what lies ahead.

"I will gather those who can be trusted to establish their place in this country."

"Hmm. Then don't hesitate to count on me if you're in trouble with money or soldiers"

Seeing Rosa offer her hand, Biru gripped the hand as she smiled.

"From now on, I'm a lottery student. You're gonna die on your own, aren't you?

Biru nodded, smiling bitterly at Rosa's words,

"I need to change my mind."

I opened my mouth.

"What does Rosa think of this attack on the Principality of Richter?

"I expect it will be an easy fight......?

I knew it. And Bilu sighed.

Whoever you ask must get the same answer back.

"I've left as many as 15,000 enemies at once. Everyone would think so."

"Right."

"But don't be alarmed. It's an unforgivable battle, considering the future."

Rosa spoke for how Billy felt.

- A battle you can definitely win.

And Biru has seen many in the past that those who thought and relaxed would shrug under his feet.

(That's why it doesn't hurt to care too much)

Bilu turns his mind to what is happening in the distance.

I don't know what happens on the battlefield.

There are many enemies of the Grand Empire of Grants, only struggle must be avoided in order not to give other countries a gap to enter.

(Time is also limited. I don't have many hands to hit - then)

Biru opened his mouth with his thoughts.

"I need Rosa to help me with something."

In order to capture a definite victory, Biru began to act.
