The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)
Lesson three: Bankers, leaving the city
Lotte Baumgarden is the first prime minister from the civilian population of the Kingdom of Flame.
Born as a poor farmer's three boy, Lotte graduated from college after a hard time and found a job at the Royal Palace... not that there is a tearful tale. By "civilians," Lotte's family is an extravaganza in the Flame Kingdom, and Lotte herself has never struggled with "money" since childhood. Lotte, who graduated chiefly in political science from the Royal University, the supreme school of the Kingdom of Flame, was enrolled as an official of the Royal Palace as it was.
Lotte, who has been a smart child since childhood, immediately appears on the headlines after serving in the King's Palace. 'Cut off your head is top notch. But I feel like I made a small fool of my colleagues and subordinates' is the Lotte review of my superiors at the time.
Some places I don't think Lotte herself can look back at herself at the time and reflect... but I think she would have the same attitude again, even back then.
A boss who is incompetent but is above himself just because of his' age '.
A boss who is incompetent but is on top of himself just because of his' family '.
A boss who is incompetent, but is on top of himself just because of the 'edge'.
Honestly, there was no such thing as patriotism. Lotte's house is a fingerfolding merchant and also deals with chambers of commerce in other countries. Though of the civilian class, the thought that 'the country is not the only place' was stronger than the ordinary people there because 'foreign' was closer to them. He said he made it his boss, the nobleman. In the Orkena social world, painted with political and inbred marriages, some people had the right to inherit the throne of two or three countries, albeit at the last seat during the last. At least, as far as Lotte can tell, none of the humans are advancing to their duties with 'patriotism'. Lotte rotted naturally.
"You think about interesting opinions inside, don't you?
It was the previous King of Flame, Georg, who pulled me up such a rotten lotte. At that time, in the kingdom of Flame, where a historic famine was occurring, the policy statement written by Lotte caught Georg's eye, and Georg, who remembered his interest in what had been written by people from the civilian class, began to speak directly to Lotte.
That's where Lotte's birth street opened up.
Georg was never a famous man, but he was also not a dark man who took care of his cohesive values for the rest of his life. At least, it gave Lotte some discretion and authority to set her free, and the responsibility was to the extent that she flatly declared the degree to the aristocrats who lived side by side. Or maybe this is the most prestigious condition you need.
Anyway, Lotte, who worshipped the high ranking position of 'Direct Policy Councillor', launched the policy early on in the arrow. I couldn't help but find the job interesting. It's not "Men's Work in a Lifetime is in Politics," but it was fun and enjoyable to see my thoughts, my knowledge and my thoughts reflected directly in the national strategy and on top of that the country turned out well. At all costs while sleeping, Georg's ratings go up even further to Lotte, who brings in policy proposals as he does every day. The status of Lotte also rose in proportion to the appreciation that rose, and he stood at the helm of the national government if he noticed.
… For the first time then, Lotte made this country think she loved the Kingdom of Flame.
Like a child on hand salt, this country couldn't help but be 'cute'. The order of this country, the prosperity of this country, the peace of this country, the things that disturb this country 'itself' gradually, but clearly, become unforgivable.
"Lotte! What the hell are you talking about!
... so.
"Weren't you listening to me, Sire?"
... The people who disrupt this country, they don't need it.
"Has my ear gone crazy? Did you just tell Matsuyo-sama to 'get out'?
"That's what I said?
"Lotte!"
Exasperating Liz also blows winds everywhere. Lotte turns to Kota and looks sincerely at him.
"What do you think, Lord Matsuyoshi?"
"May I ask why?
No anger, for a reason first. Again, this Mitsujin is satirical. Understanding that his own view was right, Lotte continues her words.
"Our country and our western neighbor, Westferia, are one step ahead of the war"
"Yes."
"We now manage to maintain diplomatic relations, but that is built on a dangerous balance. I would like to say that in terms of force, tonnes......, our country is slightly more disadvantaged. Of course, you won't be attacked by Wang Du..."
One or two of the territories will be ceded, says Lotte like nothing.
"... what if, in such a dangerous environment, the rumor of 'the Kingdom of Flame has succeeded in summoning the brave' and so on?
"... is it a threat to the neighboring country from the 'demon king'?
"Assuming you're a brave man."
"I think it's an eyebrow spitting thing?
"That would be so. But as a matter of fact, you have been summoned. You'll find out soon. If you are, before the brave are ready! and there is no chance of being attacked."
Though in the world of Ogami... "brave men" enough to defeat dragons and demon kings appeared from different worlds in a country that was hardly ever friendly. I don't know what power, what magic, what wisdom. Then there is no possibility of going ahead thinking, 'Do it before you get hit'.
"Is that why?
"One more thing. This is about His Majesty... Liz..."
"Huh? Is that me?
Liz with her little neck to show. Kota, whose grin leaks unexpectedly into that trick, which she does not look like the queen of the Flame kingdom with a very 'history and tradition'.
"... in the kingdom of Flame, the new wife is required to be a virgin."
"... Yes?
The grin froze and a storm of question marks appeared on Kota's head. Mr. Lotte, what did you just say?
"Rorororororororo-rotte! Oh, oh, oh, oh, you! Hey, what are you talking about!
Liz wolves more than Hota. My face is shameful, angry, lit... well, it's bright red anyway.
"As far as I can tell, Lord Matsuyoshi has also crossed twenty... right, can it reach thirty?
"Uh, yes. It's twenty-six."
"Master Liz is seventeen years old. This is the 'brightest' time as a woman. Well, healthy adult men and flattering young maidens. If they find out you two live under one roof."
"... scandal is fast feet, is it"
That's what I'm saying.
"Ro, lotte! Him, it's not like we're going down one roof and sleeping in a room together! Then..."
"Sweet."
"- Nothing wrong... Huh?
"The fact of 'what happened' is not the problem. 'What could have happened' is rumored to be the problem. And rumors are not things that stop at power. It burns in the population, and it knows all over the country, all the way to another country."
Her Majesty the Queen of the Kingdom of Flame is' used ', he said.
"Chubby, chubby, old! It's female contempt!
"This is rude"
Lotte thanks Liz for nothing. The figure strangely goes to the hall.
"Do you understand, Lord Matsuyoshi?
"... the point is, I'd be in trouble if my pre-dowry daughter gave me a bad review,"
"In a tangible way, yes."
"Okay...... right. Should I leave the royal palace and live in the city?
"So the second problem can be avoided, but the first problem… 'The Brave' cannot be solved"
"... right. So what am I supposed to do? No way, they're gonna tell you to 'die,' right?
I confirm, but Lotte shakes her neck vertically to Kota, who asks.
"Regardless, I'm not asking you to 'die'. Well, that would be the fastest way to solve the problem."
"Lotte!"
"Your Majesty, this is a joke"
"I have a good joke and a bad joke to tell!
My face, now I'm used to Liz dyeing bright red with anger eating lottes. The light-hearted Lotte and Liz look like a breathtaking comic talent combination.
"For that reason, I would ask Lord Matsudai to give me this royal palace... to leave the King's capital. Whatever you want, we'll send it to someone you can trust."
"Really... ok"
"Master Matsuyoshi! Say no. - What?
"So... it would be nice to take care of that 'trustworthy' place, wouldn't it?
"Yeah, that's right."
"Wait! Wait, please!
"... what is it, Your Majesty?
"'What is it?' It's not! Lotte! Do you know what you're talking about? Summon yourself to this world and leave the castle? Do you think such tyranny goes through!
"Has Lord Matsuyoshi also accepted it?
"That's it!
"Which one?
"Matsuyo-sama is also Matsuyo-sama! Do you have any idea where you stand?
"Whatever your position... troublemaker, is it?
"Why does that happen! Victim! What are you, a victim? More like this, put it in the big upper section and say, 'Take responsibility!' You can say it!
"Your Majesty, if you ask us to take responsibility, we cannot take responsibility."
"It's Aya the Word! Anyway! I just snorted high, high about what people told me! Don't you have any beliefs, intentions, thoughts of your own that you said so!
"No... I'm not saying that... sorry"
"That's it! Why are you apologizing immediately? Is that okay? Right now, I'm being rude, aren't I? You're about to get angry, Koko!
"You had a sense that you were being unscrupulous, didn't you?
"Lotte, I won't take your legs off! Come on, Matsuyo-sama! Be angry!"
"Uh... excuse me"
"Hey... why are you apologizing!
"With a sexual thing...... besides, isn't it a good story to take to Your Majesty?
"That's a good story! Yes, thank you very much! But if they say 'hi' so easily, you'll be looking for guilt!
"I only felt guilty when I summoned him."
"Lotte, shut your mouth! Come on, Matsuyo-sama! If you don't want to, please make it clear you don't want to!
Hota deflects her face from Liz, who also snorts roughly. My adorable face now looks like a night fork...... blah, I'm scared.
"... Your Majesty, I actually don't hate you that much"
"Whatever!
"Suppose, right? If this royal palace keeps bothering you...... I'm not talking about Mr. Lotte, but my position would be a pretty delicate thing, right?
"Well, that's... yes!
"Naturally, you won't go shopping to the city for something like that, and living as a shader in the royal palace all the time is going to be breathtaking..."
……
"Wouldn't it be more enjoyable to live somewhat freely?"
... I see, it makes sense. Though it makes sense.
... somehow, it's not funny.
"Is that... you don't want to be with me!
"Why does that happen! No, Your Grace? Something's wrong! Or, Your Majesty, do you want to be with me?
"It's not, but if they say 'Hi, I get it' so easily..."
... to the habit I just said flying beauty.
"It seems somewhat unpleasant that you are being denied your attraction as a woman!
"I'm saying the most unscrupulous thing I've ever said, Your Majesty! No, I'm not attractive enough to leave the royal palace."
"Hiuuuuu"
"- And even Mr. Lotte! Or the characters are different, you!
"You don't like it! What do you think, Matsuyo-sama!
"Your Majesty! What are you talking about! Hey, please calm down!
"There, Master Liz! Push it down!"
"Lotte. Shh!
... gossip.
"... excuse me"
"... no"
"I'm indulged."
"... lotte"
"Yes, let's keep it quiet"
The three men, who played a doozy comedy all the way, had a tired face (although only Lotte was matte) and were sitting in a chair. It is chaos.
"... I can't go on talking in silence. If Matsuyo-sama asks, I will sweeten her with courtesy. So, Lotte? Who the hell is that 'trustworthy'?
Take plenty of seconds to ask Liz.
"Dear Erica,"
In Lotte's words, the temperature of the room freezes.
"Lotte...... you!
"If you are Erica, you have no problem with Matsuyo-sama being known as the 'brave man', and Erica-sama's territory is also a distance from the Wang capital. In addition, Erica is bright and kind. Isn't it easy for Matsuyo-sama to spend too?
"That's... that's, I guess! But!"
"Um..."
"What is it, Matsuyo-sama?"
"Well, Dear 'Erica'...? You want me to take care of him?
"Yeah. So sweet... right, 'funny' guy, huh?
"I feel a little anxious about the way you say 'funny'...... what the hell is Erica like? As far as your name goes, you look like a woman..."
"Yeah, it's a woman. Erica Orenfeld van Flame. Make me the princess of my predecessor King Georg Orenfeld Flame..."
Take a breath.
"Liz's, she's your sister."
