Stranger’s Handbook

"Was it fast, my son-in-law, did you hit your hand?

Poncotsist preached to me. I was in Borderlands now.

There's something I really need to check.

"Am I coming within my expectations... this is my first hand"

What I showed Uncle Borderline was writing up some of Sister's sermons and blessing the priest...... that's like a magical seal.

That's the parchment in it.

"Ho, a sermon... whoa, this could be used for either..."

"Yeah, so what about the Emperor's belly?

"Um, the Elf Prince isn't Bonkla... so I guess I would have let him marry me"

I knew it...

Put the parchment down. Uncle Borderline goes on.

"My son-in-law, Empress Tsubaki has betrayed me... and will you be angry?

That's an exploratory eye...

"No, it's a political marriage from the beginning. That princess...... no. I guess the royal family can't do otherwise from the beginning. He tried to keep his head down and be soft on me because it was profitable."

"... good if you know that. Okay? Never think the royal family moves with emotion, you can't just stand pretty with the top of the country. Don't trust non-family nobles, okay? I'll give you credit, but don't open your mind completely."

Look me straight in the eye, and Uncle Borderline goes on.

"I have kept Beato in my son-in-law's house, and if you are noble to protect him, swallow it with cloudiness. If it's noble... it might be tough on other people."

"... I've decided I'm ready"

"Good then. Your Majesty is not going to take Elf's country from the inside, not even Bonkla, but Prince Wang. Put the princess in the main room and the child will be the next king... in that place."

"Then what should I do..."

"Uhm, don't dissolve the engagement successfully... on top of that..."

"Adopt the Tsubaki Empress to marry the Prince......?

Nita.

Hih!? So scared...

"Well, I'll have trouble marrying you as a princess. The royal family who drew the blood of an elf, from unraveling when to turn against His Majesty."

"You're only a subordinate..."

Slowly drank tea, Uncle Borderline.

Let's drink too... my throat is crunchy...

"Well, if you daughter-in-law in law, you can interfere unilaterally because you don't have the right to inherit our empire. If you are the daughter of an imperial sword that has been spiritualized, you will have no complaints, hope for the protection of the Spirit on the bridge between the two countries..."

"After that, my... reason to dissolve my engagement and to the nobles."

"Um, I can't say I've dissolved it because I've been proposed to another person as a Duke's house, well, if God wills, I can't help it... you admit the Spirit too, right?

I laugh at Toto on my shoulder.

Ha, Uncle Borderline finds out...

"Yes, would this be okay?

"Hoo-hoo, son-in-law... now I trust your majesty a little too, you're full."

That's what I say and laugh at. Uncle Borderline was really scared...

Toto, I'm fine, so I'm not trying to poison you!

Between the sights of the Empire

Read parchment in front of Your Majesty and the nobles

"I will preach on the engagement of His Royal Highness the Duke of Zest and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess of Tubaki. You will hope that the water of the river flows into the sea and nurtures life. Forest trees need light, never seem to wear rocks. Because that's God's will!

Yeah, I don't know what that means... but...

"This sermon is just God's will. Our empire is blessed with water from the mountains of the Borderline Borderlands, and the Empire is water. And the woods beyond the sea... that is, your will to marry the kingdom of the elves and illuminate the people as light"

Yeah, nodding, Toto.

"Rock is the Borderline House, and I am bordered by the Borderline House, and I will wear it... which means Her Royal Highness Princess Tsubaki will marry me, not"

Full-sided grinning toto gets cocky

"The Spirit also recognizes God's will. Then I will dissolve my engagement and accept Her Royal Highness Princess Tsubaki's dowry in the land of the elves as God's will."

"That is indeed what the priest admitted... not if it is in the service of God and the Spirit. But you took care of the Duke."

There's no annihilation.

"Yes, by adopting Tsubaki as Duke's son and then letting him be his wife?

"With the blessing of the Spirit, you have become a bridge between the two countries, and an honorable thing for our Duke's family. I thank His Majesty the Emperor for his consideration."

Yes, it's a farce with a meeting

Well, that's a proper explanation for the sermon, but if Toto admits it, he does.

If the Spirit will admit it, we have no choice.

The Tsubaki Empress... yeah, she was royal... she's belly black. I'm

Your Majesty only wishes he could get along with me.

For now, if Empress Tsubaki is adopted, we can get along.

Finally, you can connect with me in the Elf Country, but Empress Tsubaki doesn't work in my language.

Rebellion the Empire with the elves... I can't believe it.

His Majesty convinced me he was about to drop it around here, too.

You're showing an attitude of cooperation for the benefit of the Empire, so you don't want to inspire me any more.

............... No, was it tried? I bet you have that, too.

Whether to work for the benefit of the Empire

If it moves, fine, if it doesn't, Princess Tsubaki is in the side room...

How far do you think the royal family is going?

Well, it must have been decided to work for the Empire if it hadn't been for Beato.

Actually, you're right.

Did you think you'd be better off with some connection than letting me marry you poorly and rub you with Beato?

Politics is... a total pain in the ass...

I can't have the royal family...

I don't want to have this exchange for a while...

Thus Princess Tsubaki was to go to Elf Country as my adopted son.

I want to go home soon...
