Stranger’s Handbook

196 Is it a dog or a lion?

"Ha! You think you won as much as you broke your arm? You got licked!

"That's great, that's what I'm trying to do."

"Albert's husband, you can take that lizard down, right?

"Right, right?

"Ahem? Dwarf's daughter's gonna take me down, huh? Albert's brother, can I melt it with this kid brace?

refreshing sleeping tea time begins with such an outside voice

Sounds like a ladies' education morning is early...... and Mira's drinking.

That kind of interaction had already begun in the courtyard.

"Sir, I'm going to report to the Imperial City today. You should be able to return here in the evening, so don't forget your souvenirs to your wife and ladies. Here's a list of trendy items in Imperial City."

"Hmm. That's very attentive of you."

When this lady education started, she said, 'Are you sure you're okay with this? I asked Su, but she smiled so well.

'Sir, if you care, you don't have to ask,' he said.

You're absolutely right, if you care, you lose.

"The movement of Imperial soldiers has also begun sequentially, so we will be able to return Allied soldiers to the country next month, as planned. In the meantime, it's fine if I leave it to you, Kathua lady, to stick around."

"Home affairs relations are handled by Borderline Uncle, so should I just settle... I mean, take charge of the aspects of going to the Imperial Capital or meeting His Majesty the Beast King"

"Yes, please do what no one else can do."

Sure, that's a good idea.

You're the Grand Duke and the Grand Marshal, so just show me the direction and I'll give priority to meetings with the emperors, kings and other superiors.

What form of governance will it take? What will be the arrangements with our neighbour, the Kingdom of Griffon?

Trouble, but it's impossible to leave it to your men.

"But even if I knew, I couldn't. Was he reluctant to use Uncle Borderline or Master as a subordinate after all?"

It was self-explanatory, but the good ordinance gave me the answer to that.

"No, it must be thanks to Sir Marie that those people became strangely cooperative. Are you a pussy? I'm really great. I seem to have given you something that you can only take off until you wear your skin."

"... did you settle down there in the end"

If I hadn't been naked or my chest had been choosy, I would have done a good job.

If I did that from the beginning, I wouldn't have let Marie see hell either.

That's a lot of blood.

"I said 'present something equal in size' to my reward when I'm done with my job, and I'm spared working while I sleep. I was wondering if Sir Marie was currently working on it while cutting his life."

"... so much so"

"Don't worry, sir. Sir Marie is a punishment, so consideration is useless."

I feel sorry for you if it's intense, but if it's punishment, I can't help it.

Next time, I'll ask for Beat and the others' figures.

That's what I thought. I was gonna get you a cup of tea.

"Hey Zest. Wouldn't you be my adopted son?

"I won't, Your Majesty. If His Royal Highness were here, and he did that, the stupid nobles would say," They're after the robbery. "

"I guess......"

"Don't tell me if you know"

Emperor looking completely smashed, Your Majesty, but since this is one of the rooms in the exclusive royal settlement, there's no problem.

If I did this between my eyes, it would be too bad to say it was the Grand Duke.

There's a distinction around here.

"But if you don't, you won't be able to convey my feelings, will you?

"It's telling enough, so it's time to sit down"

How tired I am, I told His Majesty the Emperor.

to that person who is still sitting on the floor...... you don't have to go that far in any Chamber, Your Majesty

"... So you'll forgive me?

"Forgiveness or nothing, I am subordinate. You don't have to do that. Is something wrong?

I regretted it since I said it.

His Royal Highness's Loribaba pregnancy case or an expedition round throw to the Dwarf kingdom

Even if it's okay to think about it normally, the pregnancy case is totally out.

sipping tea with that in mind, His Majesty took something small out of his nostalgia

"It's from your wife. I'm ready to die."

You look pale, shivering, that thing you showed me with your hands.

I guess it was originally white, a cloth cut with a little red and black stain.

I guess a similar thing is commonly called a handkerchief, which entails desperate black magic

And it's embroidered like this in bloody crimson yarn.

"Hay Cassia Wasse Curse"

"Heh, it would mean a curse for His Majesty to be happy"

"... that's what the Chancellor said. Did he say that? With a bright blue face."

"The... my wife doesn't like embroidery..."

That said, my groin was a little wet

No less than that, His Majesty the Emperor's cheeks were wet...... yeah, this is scary

"The Duke of Beatrice is in the former Dwarf kingdom? I don't even wish, keep acting together! I'll allow it!

persuaded His Majesty, who was frightened, to sit in a chair and put therapeutic magic on his head, which was thinning again

I'm finally settling down, so I'm like, 'Am I disrespectful?' I asked, 'Here's the answer I got back

"There can be no disrespect for a woman of the grand aristocracy with her own blood as a curse for happiness. If you say that, I'll beat you to death."

That's how I was blubbering.

Pre-Construction will be, but the truth is, 'I'm not disrespectful because I'm scared. It's not disrespectful, so give me a break.'

I happily agreed because I don't want to go into the area in detail either

"And I also found out about the old Dwarf kingdom rule. It would have been good in your territory, but there are fewer problems in dealing with belonging. I can only suck up the good stuff."

"Until some point, I'll fund it and get it in shape. After that, send a deputy."

"I'm sorry. When you calm down, you and your wife can come to the Imperial City and take your time. There's a lot of idiots growing up without you."

"I too despised socializing. I will, Your Majesty."

I don't even have a samurai, so I'll get you a cup of tea.

I can't let His Majesty do that.

Pour new into each other's cups for a sip

"When that happens, is the problem in the Kingdom of Griffon? Is the Beast King a dog? Is that a lion?

Whoops, breathe. Your Majesty asks.

I did get my plan through to this point, so I'm just gonna move on.

But the story changes depending on which His Majesty the Beast King is.

"If there was a conspiracy in my country during the battle, fine. What would a lion do if he created a gap with a wax and disposed of a disturbing molecule?

"A dog can stay put. I'm sure you'll get along with Albert's son at your place. If it's a lion...... how do you think it works?

"... probably doesn't work flashy. The whole season of the Beast Nation is long. If His Majesty is still a young Beast King, he will wait for me to die while he raises his power."

"Or work the internal division of the empire... no, let you be independent and hold yourself to the old Dwarf kingdom? Is that why it's safer to nationalize"

These two are the most suspicious.

It's easy to wait for my weakening with a long-term strategy.

And if I were independent of the Empire... it would flatten me in the opposite direction of the continent to the jetty

"It would also be fabric stone that easily retreated from the offensive strategy of the former Dwarf kingdom. It will also be a spark within the Empire, observing how I move with that vast territory in my hands."

Your Majesty's face is sinister with plenty of sugar and a cup of tea that should be sweet.

Probably convinced you of what I said.

Is His Majesty the Lion, after all?

But the answer is, if you go back to the realm, you'll know.

"We're still in the anticipation phase, so there's no hitter to worry about any more. I return to the former Dwarf kingdom via territory."

"Oh, if I stopped by your territory..."

"Yes, it's black when an invitation to trade and exchange comes from the Kingdom of Griffon. I'll let you know, so please take care of the lion, Your Majesty."

I greet His Majesty who nodded and leave the room.

I was thinking on the back of a dragon heading to the realm.

What would the Imperial Capital think if I did that only with my territory?

It is set to be seen as the Grand Duke who makes his own interests secure by scorning the Empire

Your Majesty will show understanding, but the nobles will make a fuss again

But if you refuse, you'll send a messenger to the Imperial capital saying, 'I won't trade or interact because I was refused in the Grand Duke's territory, which is the front door of the Empire'.

"It's an unpleasant prediction. But most of the anticipation... No, don't hit it extra..."

The solo whining on the back of the dragon was a really good flag.

"Ah! Welcome back, Lord Zest. The Kingdom of Griffon has sent me a personal note."

I sighed heavily when Catalina told me that on her arrival in the evening.

Do I have to see that? Really...
