Tearmoon Empire Story

In the meantime, I'll put Ruvi in a chair and ask Anne for tea and treats.

I knew it! "Anne nodded and flew away. After seeing off his back, Meir looked at Ruvi's face again.

A girl sniffed her bright red nose. There is no shadow of the usual calm and prone figure.

What kind of situation is it when Ruvi reacts like this?... The moment I imagine it, Meer's spine gets cold.

Oh, no, did something happen to Mr. Banos?

Banos, the head of the princess's own guards, is Ruvi's lover. I was a skilled soldier, and my sword arm wasn't as good as Deon's. Besides, Meer also appreciates the personality.

"Different type of talent than Deon..." Something happened to such a gentle giant!? "And, it was meer who became anxious..." What came out of Ruvi's mouth was an unexpected word.

"Uu, uuu... Actually, I'm here to talk about my relationship..."

"Oh...... editorial......"

Meer unexpectedly raised her voice.

― ― Sure enough, Ruvi-san is old enough. It's not strange to come to Emeralda, is it? Saffias-san has a wife too.

It's about time for those two to talk about their stories. Those two! But I can manage, so naturally, even Levi nods. but......

"That's why you can appropriately put on a habit and refuse." It's not like you. "

What's bothering you...? "Meer tilts her neck.

"Now, because the mission given to me is important and I want to become a career promoter in Kuroki Province, I don't want to get married for the time being, somehow..."

Even improvisation comes to mind as an excuse. It was easy for me to say no...... but Ruvi shook his head loosely.

"Damn, I did it." But... it didn't work. I was told that it would be useful for my career, and that it would also be useful for fulfilling the mission given to me by Master...... uuu...... "

Then Ruvi said, staring at Meer with his wet eyes.

"The person with whom we talked was a knight named Hildebrand... because he was the second son of the Marquis of Cotyarr..."

Hearing the name, Meer unexpectedly turned away.

"Hildebrandt! What...!" Is that Hildebrand? "

Hildebrandt Kotiyar, the second son of the Marquis of Kotiyar, mother of Meir and home of Adelaid. That is, he is Meer's cousin.

And......

"Oh, I see. That's why you were there..." I was wondering why you were near the Imperial City..... "

Hildebrandt was the man who cast a fervent gaze at Meer on the way back.

"Hmm, that's what it is." Well, it's certainly complicated. "

For a noble lady, marriage and politics are inseparable.

Just as the editorial with Eschar brought to Emerald last fall, Ruvi's editorial is firmly tied to political strategy.

So, what does this conversation mean? And with what intentions did the Duke of Red Moon contemplate this conversation?

--This aim... is to strengthen your relationship with me.

Not with the Imperial Family itself, but with individual Meer, that was really troubling.

Apart from the Marquis of Kotiyar, it was not a house that attracted the blood of the Emperor. It was only the home of the late wife of the current Emperor Matthias, and from the point of view of blood ties, it had nothing to do with Meer.

I can't talk about the connections between the noblemen's houses only by blood, and it doesn't make any sense to connect with the family of the emperor's late wife... but at least, it's subtle whether or not the famous Red Moon Duke's house is the one I want.

In the first place, the House of the Red Moon is closer to the Emperor... but what does it mean to be related to the House of the Marquis of Kotiyar?

Needless to say, we need to strengthen our relationship with Meer personally.

In other words, it may even be an acknowledgement of Meer's power and an affirmation of Meer's support for succession to the throne. Ruvi's father, the Duke of Mansana Etois Red Moon, is going to officially declare his commitment to Meir's camp.

"I see... I've definitely had a good relationship with Mr. Ruvi's father... but this conversation must be a sign of my kindness." However, it's quite a troublesome situation for my cousin to talk to..... "

If it's a hostile act, you just have to stick it out. However, it is not easy to act with good intentions and still have great benefits.

"No way, because Ruvi likes Banos! I can't say no."

It is unacceptable for the daughter of the famous Red Moon family to fall in love with a civilian soldier... Because of that, you shouldn't be able to reject an editorial that has merit...

I guess that's why I'm here. Ruvi's been cornered to this point.

Usually, she's so stubborn that she's cornered to the point of exposing her pathetic face like this...?

Gently, the memories of the riding tournament were revived in Meer's mind.

I remember Ruvi's face crying in the same way as before...

--Oh, that's right. This person, unexpectedly, becomes a maiden when it comes to romance.

If so, this reaction may not be surprising either... "Anyway, it's dangerous to leave her alone.

--It is more dangerous to get in the way of someone who is in love than to get close to a rough storm without being alert. "And..."

"Uuu, uuu, Miss Meir..."

Levi stared at me with a pathetic face. Looking at it, it's meer who wants to do something about it.

- Sure, I appreciate Lord Red Moon's kindness, but it doesn't make sense to ruin Mr. Levi's mood. Good!

So for now, Meer has a policy to take Levi's side.

Besides, I'm a maiden in love with Meer. I know how Ruvi feels.

"It's all right, Mr. Ruvi." Don't cry so much, but I'll take care of it. "

And so, Anne came back at the right time.

Meer doesn't miss the aroma of vegetable cake mixed with the good smell of tea.

"For now, let's settle down with a cup of tea." And the cake! It looks like the chef put a lot of effort into making it. "

In the meantime, if I didn't eat something delicious and refresh my head... it was meer.
