Soul Eater of the Rebellion
64th Dialogue Face-to-Face
The face-to-face between me and Princess Sakuya was quickly realized. When I went to the Dragnaught Mansion in King's Landing and told him that I would be invited by the Empress, he took me to the royal palace that day.
I was surprised because I thought I would be waiting for a few days, no matter how many people invited me from the other side.
I heard from Lord Dragnaught that the Empress had instructed me to do everything. Let me know as soon as I get here.
When I got here, the line that the Empress had invited me with just interest disappeared entirely - walking down the hallway of the royal palace with Lord Dragnaught thinking about it.
He was guided to the room where Claudia and the King, the two princes, met the other day. In addition, the Empress was already waiting for me in the room, next to which was Claudia, who was packed in the royal palace as the Pope's escort.
It seems that Lord Dragnaught did not hear this, and there is a faint surprise in the Duke's face. The princess who saw it smiled as she concealed her mouth with a feather fan.
"You can't leave your daughter alone and meet your fiancée, Pascal."
The Empress, who called Lord Dragnaught's name, then gave me a soft smile.
"Nice to meet you, Dragon Killer. I am Sakuya. I am very pleased that you responded promptly to my invitation."
The words of the serene Third Princess were a surprise to me.
According to what Claudia told me the other day, Prince Azar didn't like the high attitude of Princess Sakuya, who was face-to-face in the Empire, and wanted to return to Claudia.
There was a story in my head, and against Princess Sakuya, there was a statue of a victorious princess who tended to hang.
I heard from Lord Dragnaught about the princess's behavior in the Royal Canary Palace, and although the impression was somewhat weakened, the first impression did not disappear.
However, the third princess who actually met her was a gentle, polite and very gentle princess. There is nothing to make you feel Keikaku in appearance or behavior.
While I bow my neck inside, I also thank you.
First time to see you, Your Highness.
While feeling the Empress's gaze on her face, she bowed her head politely. For a moment, I felt like there was a sharp light in the eyes of the princess looking at me, but the princess continued her words faster than I could confirm it.
"Come here, Dragon Killer and Pascal. I want to talk to you, and I want to listen to you. As long as time is running out, we can't waste a second."
This led me to have a chat with the Crown Princess with Lord Dragnaught and Claudia.
However, even if it's a cheerful conversation, I don't have the tale or education to stop talking to the Empress. That's why I was just listening to you.
It was mainly the Empress who continued the conversation, constantly laughing and turning to me, Lord Dragnaught and Claudia.
The content of the story was untouchable, and there were no extraordinary topics such as the empire's internal affairs, my officials, or the future of the Canary Kingdom.
Even so, I'm not innocently engaged in public conversation without thinking about anything. It seems to me that the Empress is searching for our relationship.
Recently, Claudia and I went to the royal palace together and figured out in front of the King and the Prince. There were no other ministers there, but Claudia held my hand in the royal palace for a long time, and there is no doubt that the relationship between the daughter of the Duke of Dragnaught and the dragon killer was on the agenda of the court sparrow.
It seems that the Empress wanted more information about this.
My relationship with Claudia has already become apparent to the public, but it matters whether I will be the duke's son-in-law or whether Claudia will leave the duke's house and enter mine. The Duke of Dragnaught sometimes has no boys, and the next Duke of Dragnaught is involved here.
At the same time, it also contained the meaning of inferring the affinity between me and Lord Dragnaught. As the future Queen of the Canary, I cannot remain indifferent to the connection between the noble leader and the dragon killer.
Regardless of whether the future relationship is divided into enemies or allies, there is a lot of information. Such intentions were felt from the Empress's story.
Hmm, I nodded inside.
It is obvious that the princess in front of her is not just a gentle princess, but there is no doubt that her head turns around. Courtesy is also good. I know I didn't call Claudia here to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, so I know I'll be considerate.
If you put them together, it means that you can talk to someone.
Somehow, it seemed that Lord Dragnaught understood why he was in favour of the Empress.
In the future, for example, even if the Empress turns to the Duke's enemies in desire of the kingdom's sovereignty, she will listen to the political enemies if she shows interest and reason.
I can't feel this way about Prince Azar. The Crown Prince seems to distinguish between his enemies and his allies, and he won't listen to them.
For the Duke, I cannot help but realize that there was a gulf between Claudia and the royal family. From now on, when the Crown Prince takes office and takes the throne of the King, the trench becomes larger and deeper.
With that thought in mind, I remembered my pale sorrow, and the princess who knew the story without thinking appeared as the prince's queen. It will also be favorable.
Although the Empire was aiming to eliminate Claudia, it is hard to believe that a 14-5-year-old princess was involved in the conspiracy. Given that the benevolent boy moved more than a year ago, it would be even less likely.
In this case, I am concerned about the high attitude that this princess has shown to the Crown Prince in the beginning. I don't know exactly what you said, but I don't think it's the kind of person who would be tough on a first-time partner, or a lifelong companion, for no reason.
If the princess dared to give the prince the worst first impression, the door of the room was knocked because it was to test the prince's capacity, or to prevent him from feeling affectionate toward himself - that way. One of the court ministers came in and said the king was calling for the princess.
The princess unfortunately exhaled and turned her gaze at me.
"Looks like this is it. I apologize to the Dragon Killer for carrying my legs."
"It is an honor to be able to worship His Highness. Please don't mind me."
As she struggled with unfamiliar lyrics, the Empress continued her words with a fan that seemed ridiculous.
"You don't have to do that. I'm not going to be small enough to be a little rude."
"I'm sorry about that."
"I want to build a good relationship with the Dragon Killer. If that's the case, I'd like you to attend this wedding, but how would it be convenient for you?
There's no way I can say it's impossible in front of the Crown Princess, and I'll reply with a promise. Well, anyway, it's no problem because I didn't intend to attend because I stopped working with Claudia.
There is also Westeria, who is advancing synchronization with homologous beings (anima) in the forest of Titis, and cannot stay long in the King's City, but Westeria is able to cross the puzzle.
Specifically, the puzzles no longer take over the body, even if it's not synchronized. We can use the activated puzzles near the Dragon Hole against them. There won't be any particular problem sitting still in the King of Flies' nest.
When the Empress heard my answer, she smiled satisfactorily and concluded by saying:
"Dragon Killer - No, Lord Sola, if you have any trouble, please don't hesitate to rely on me. I'll help you as much as I can."
"Thank you for your words. Let us show His Majesty mercy when we are in distress."
That's how I lowered my head.
Of course, it was just a courtesy response. I can handle most things on my own right now, and I don't think I'll owe the royal nobles anything else. This is a completely different story from the princess's personality - I certainly thought so at this time.
I didn't expect to rely on the power of the Empress in three days.
