Tearmoon Empire Story

Lesson VI Emeralda's Tea Party

Emeralda Etois Green Moon is a woman who is regarded as one of Mia's best friends in later generations.

It is known for the high temperament of the grand noble lady, the strength of the superficial hits against those under her nose, and the depth of her nostalgia that contradicts it.

She is such a woman, but she is not much appreciated for her work as a public servant.

Her activities were rarely recorded on the stage of history.

Well... the truth is, the role she played was by no means small.

Just as the Saffias Etois Blue Moon acted as a stellar duke's sigh, so did Emeralda's role as a stellar duke's daughter.

I said, "Will you ask me to come?" Nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn! Well, sometimes there were days like that, but anyway, she was doing her job.

As a matter of fact, Emerald moved the day after Theons came to visit her.

After all, the first thing to start with is the Ganudos Port State, right?

Even before Meer told her, Emeralda decided to go to Ganudos herself.

The decisive and quick attack was reminiscent of Meer, the one who had thought of it.

By the way, most of the preparations were round tossed to Nina, the maid.

Anne and Ludwig do the same job, and she's a very good maid.

"That's just the trick, Nina." That's my Green Moon maid. "

With Emeralda's praise, Nina bowed her head... "

"Overrated and painful, lass." Also, while crossing the border... I don't think it's very nice that the daughter of the four imperial dukes remembers the name of the maid... "

"No! What are you talking about?" You are a precious maid who serves me more than a childhood mason. It's only natural to remember your name! "

For some reason, Emerald stretched her chest out with Doya's face, and Nina let out a sigh...

"... well, but this is it..."

Emerald leaned her head toward Nina, who was crushing her.

In this way, Emeralda went to the port country of Ganudos.

Now, at the separate residence of the Green Moon family in the capital of King Ganudos.

Emeralda was getting ready to greet her guests. That said, it's Nina who's actually doing it... "

In any case, Emeralda smiled small as she watched the tea sets and sweets that were lined up.

Fufufu, it's been a long time since we had a tea party with that person, isn't it?

That's why we often wait.

The guest did not come at the exact time of the appointment and appeared late for an hour.

... well, since it's the usual thing, I decided not to worry about Emerald...

Thank you for inviting me today, Emeralda-sama.

Then it was a girl who lifted the hem of her skirt.

She was a very tall girl. Like a stage actress, the girl, with her stretched spine and long limbs, looked at Emerald and smiled plumply.

"Thank you for taking the time to come today." It's all in your heart, but I'd be glad if you could go and enjoy the tea party. "Her Royal Highness the Princess of Oulania"

The girl's name is Oulania Perla Ganudos. Princess of the port country of Ganudos.

And they're only friends with tea.

Originally, it was Emeralda who often came to visit the Galleria Sea... I often dine with the leading figures of the country, and inevitably I had the opportunity to get acquainted with the oldest Oulaniya.

That's why, well, it's not unusual in itself to invite her to tea...

"By the way, Princess Oulania..."

Emerald slashed into the air as quickly as the world could talk.

"It's a little strange, but your father has a disturbing attitude towards our empire..."

"Um, uh...? Is that so...?"

Oulania tilts her head. Essentially, she has nothing to do with politics. It is a princess who was raised in the royal palace to be cherished and isolated from the world.

Emeralda, who knew that, was elegantly drinking tea,

"Yes, that's right." Well, I knew that from around last summer... That's why my friend Meir is taking this issue seriously. "

"Well, Princess Meir...?"

Oulania closed her mouth with her eyes round.

"Yes, that's right." So, what's the matter with me...? Do you think that my friendship with the Ganudos Port State is very important? It is not so sad that our Empire's friendship with your country should break down. After all, the closest Imperial nobleman to the Ganudos Port State is my Green Moon family. ”

Emerald had a sip of cake on her face. "Then, look at Oulania with great care..."

"So could you please tell His Majesty the King to change his attitude?" I thought.... "

"Hmm, am I...?" Isn't that... impossible...? "

Oulania shook her head in a relaxed tone. Emerald nodded inside.

Emeralda knows the basics of negotiation.

First of all, it demands great things, and then it presents the very conditions that can be swallowed. In keeping with that theory, Emeralda puts her true demands on her. That is......

"Well then, what do you say? If you're going to study at St. Meer's..."

"... erm... that's..."

"Since Oulania turned her gaze toward Emerald..."

Is that a hostage?

Tilt your neck with a dazzling gesture.

Emeralda nodded with a smile as she did it...

"Fufufu, as usual, you don't adorn words." I don't hate your honesty, do I? "

Emeralda thought of Oulania as a strange princess. It was in a box, and I didn't know anything outside the Royal Palace... it was an ignorant person.

Well, that doesn't mean it's stupid.

Oulania is a strange boxed princess, but she has a head that can properly understand her opponent's words. Therefore, we have made the essence of what Emerald says into words.

Emerald had previously felt favorable about its straightness and speed of rotation.

But... actually, Emerald didn't expect to take Oulania hostage. What she's up to is a little closer to Meer... that is.

― ― St. Meer Academy is an environment where you can get plenty of exposure to the virtues of Meer-sama just by passing through. If so, we should be able to attract Princess Oulania to our school.

This is it.

Well, I can't even tell you that honestly. Emerald kept smiling.

"Well, actually, it's not that bad." The St. Meir School is scheduled to become one of the highest schools in our empire. Wouldn't it be a very good opportunity for you to learn...? "

"Well, I don't have the right to refuse...?"

"There's no reason to say no." It's rare to hear such a good story... If you say no, I'll blow you away... maybe you should take care of it? "

"Then I rinsed my face with tea..."

Oh, and I want Cold Moon Heaven as a souvenir, but can you introduce me to a good place?

It was an emerald that I could say without hesitation.
