Soul Eater of the Rebellion

Episode 26 To the Royal Palace

I was invited to Dragnaut's House, and was welcomed by the Duke, as Claudia declared.

Not only Claudia, but the Duchess' servants were eager to entertain me. It would not have been paid in front of him even if he came alone. That's exactly what Claudia said, and it's really grateful.

The guest of the Duke of Dragnaut is the family of the first nobleman of the Kingdom of Canary. Despite feeling a bit uncomfortable with the facts being treated in the mansion, I can't be pleased with his actions being valued-out of place. My reputation for the Dukes of Dragnaut was growing.

Sadly the lack of Dragnot and Astrid was absent, but this is as expected.

Sakuya As expected, the wedding of Prince Azar and the princess was also a serious problem at the Royal Palace.

Monster Runaway Originally, the marriage of the two was strongly promoted by the imperial aristocrat Corkia Hou. The marquis had greatly weakened his position in the case of Jinbo, but regained his political position by taking advantage of the confusion caused by the emergence.

Rudder In other words, the royal family pulled out a great deal of help from the empire in the name of the marriage, and if the wedding was canceled, the empire would cut marriage policy from military invasion and promoted the marriage at a stretch.

Obviously, there was a lot of opposition, but King Thorvald made the decision.

Even so, the power of the Kingdom of Canary is not as high as the Adastera Empire. It is this great confusion coming there. In this situation, the kingdom of Canary will not be able to win the full-scale invasion of the Imperial Army.

It would be better to avoid military conflicts by marriage, and to draw a lot of aid instead of looking down on the opponent and use it to finance reconstruction-the King's decision was in line with the dedication of Corquia Was something.

Although the marriage between the two countries was officially decided, many court officials rebelled against the king's decision. Some people seem to be outraged and try to break the wedding ceremony with their own abilities, and it is said that Dr. Dragnaut has been stuck in the Royal Palace to suppress such radical movements.

Commander Astrid, as the effective commander of the absent Dragon Knights, flies around Canary to maintain security, and he may return to the Duke's mansion once every few days.

After talking about the situation, Claudia exhaled a little.

Father "I'm worried when I come home because I'm always tired."

"Certainly, just listening can tell you the difficulty."

Beast King I cross my arms with a difficult face. I would like to help the Duke, if possible, but I have to go to Belka to search for it. This is necessary to stop pollution in the Titis Forest and the Kale River.

And in Ishka, sparrows and seals should be worried about me. In some circumstances, I wanted to return home as soon as possible and give me peace of mind.

It would be dishonest to hinted at Claudia's help in this situation.

Kei: That's all, let's go back to Ishka in a hurry, show the sparrows, and then head to Belka in full throttle. Defeating Behemoth and returning in a hurry can help Claudia without any worries. Alright, let's do it.

With that in mind, the door between the guests was knocked.

Claudia tilts her head lightly, then tells me "I'm sorry" and goes to the door. The duke's butler showed his face from the opened door, holding a letter in his hand.

Looking at the bitter face of the bitter butler, it seems that it is not good news.

A quiet conversation between Claudia and the butler. I didn't intend to eavesdrop on it, but I wasn't too interested in closing my ears, so some words jumped into my ears.

It contains the words "Her High Crown Prince" and "Her Majesty the King", and I reflexively frown.

Whether King Thorvald or Prince Hazard, they cut off Claudia, suffering from the curse, in the form of abandoning her engagement. In particular, he hears that while he was in his fiancee he did not deliver any of the letters that care for Claudia on his bed.

I'm fond of Claudia, and I have no good feelings about them, especially for the Prince.

Kage The finding of Claudia's face on the way back raised her feelings.

Claudia unfortunately opened her mouth in front of my eyes.

"Sorry, Sora-san. I wanted to talk more, but my Majesty called me. I have to hurry to the Royal Palace."

"Well, don't bother me-but are you calling from your Majesty?"

I behead my head.

According to Claudia, Prince Dragnaut has recently been stuck in the Royal Palace. If the king has a business with the duke, he can call Dragnot at the Royal Palace without having to invite Claudia.

Nevertheless, the king sent messengers to the Duke's mansion. In other words, the royal business is not with the duke, but with the individual Claudia. As you can guess from the above statement, its use is probably related to the Prince.

The prince who has broken his engagement has called Claudia to his palace via his father. What is not happy is the expression of Butler and Claudia.

With that in mind, I was a little wondering if I should continue with the words.

As I mentioned, I don't intend to stay in the royal capital. It should be avoided that I squash without knowing the situation, and to scrape things. On the contrary, Claudia can be annoying.

In the first place, Claudia did not ask for help. You should do something quiet here and do it quietly. I think so.

-But on the other hand, it was clear that there was a feeling that this should not be withdrawn. I'm worried about the call as if he had anticipated the absence of Drag Note and Astrid.

What passed through my mind was the face of a young prince who had come to offer Klaus Solas. At that time, the Prince kept away from Dragnaut and Astrid.

Should we step into this one or lower it?

I ask myself. My answer came back in an instant-go for it.

I opened my mouth with a mysterious face after I really coughed out.

"Claudia, I'll ask you frankly. I'm sorry if I made a mistake--"

"Yes, what?"

"Are you shaken by your opponent asking for reunion?"

When asked frankly as declared, Claudia's mouth made a strange sound.

"So, Sora-san? Well, what is that ...?"

"Specifically, it means that you're in trouble with the Crown Prince."

In response to this question, Claudia was buzzing, but he was wondering what he had answered.

It seemed a little determined and I nodded as if I had trouble.

"Yes, that's true ... how did you know that?"

"I'm sorry, just as Claudia was talking to her butler, I heard a glimpse of the word Prince, and as I mentioned earlier, Claudia was very beautiful. So I decided to consider the personality of the Crown Prince I met before and wonder if that would happen. ''

After hearing my answer, Claudia nodded with a serious face, and smiled with a smile.

"Well, it's impossible to argue that Sora-san is a civilian who is impeccable.

"I'm sorry for the praise. So, if you didn't hate Claudia, I'd like you to take me to the Royal Palace.

"... Are you sure?"

Shows a large nod to questions that are often hesitant.

Nobu: "Of course, because of Hydra, I'm scared, but talking about making Claudia a" hostage "hasn't yet gone away."

When I brought up my earlier story, Claudia looked sorry, but still happy.

By welcoming you to a single man's house, you can show others that they are engaged. Despite several other objectives, the focus of that story was to prevent this from happening.

It's been a bit late, but on this occasion Claudia and I would come and visit the Royal Palace and profess our future living together. This can help Claudia without staying in the royal capital.

The problem is if the prince did not give up-when he had previously asked for Clau Solas, he said, "Give it to me," but did not imitate him. It's not aggressive but not domineering. Such a person would not try to forge Claudia.

If this guess is broken and the prince tries to tear me apart from Claudia-then the Crown Prince of Canary will be punished for sin.

"Speaking of which, Claudia, was your Majesty's calling, but what was your business?"

I wouldn't have said in a letter that I wanted him to reconnect with my son. When asked, Claudia tightened her expression.

"The pope will be seen from the Holy Kingdom a few days later, and he asked if he would be able to work with the Crown Prince on his occasion."

The moment I heard it, I gazed at my eyes.

There is only one Pope in the Holy Kingdom. Chief of the Temple of Law, which exercises miracles of the sanctuary, such as "Restoration" and "Deity Advent." Although there are several other temples in the Holy Kingdom, only the Holy Religion claims to be a Pope.

The Pope was also the de facto leader of the Holy Kingdom and must have had a close relationship with the Adastera Empire. I've heard that the Pope was the one who taught me the existence of the Barrier Magic to prevent Hydra's poison.

Claudia says the pope will soon be coming to the capital city. Perhaps you have to find the necessary catalyst to apply the barrier magic. When it comes to this wedding? It is a marriage between nations. It is no wonder that the Pope himself travels.

However, it seems too early to get into the Kingdom of Canary for a wedding. The ceremony is still nearly a month away. Maybe there is some other reason.

――While thinking about such things, I wore robes borrowed from the duke.

Then, ride a carriage with Claudia to the Royal Palace. Claudia was smiling all the time before, during, and after the ride.
