The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)

Lesson Five: The Princess's Depression

"... 'I'll take care of you, thank you for your help',"

With one sigh of sigh, he pounds the letter at hand, and throws it to the desk unconstructively. Even if you are a "sister," you can't complain if the offense of disrespect applies, such as coming from a king of a country, and treating him like this for an autographed letter... in the first place, it's not a funny dish to be treated as a family heirloom if you are in the right place of nobility, such as the King's autograph, and an apology.

"... well, he wouldn't have sent a letter like this to a normal nobleman either."

This is only a testament to the fact that that child, 'Elizabeth Orenfeld Flame', is' sweet 'to me, Erica Orenfeld van Flame, who is only one but a blood connected sister.

"No matter how long I tell you, its character won't heal...... is it good? Or is it bad?

I, Erica Orenfeld van Flame, hit the Queen of the Kingdom of Flame, the sister of His Majesty Elizabeth. In this country, where the first-born inheritance is fundamental, there is one reason why I, three years older than His Majesty, will not succeed to the throne.

Because I was the "concubine child" in the side room... commonly referred to.

Normally, anywhere noble, the concubine child seems to live in the shade. 'Seems' I put it on because in my memory, I don't remember living in the shade at all.

"Look, Erica! I tried to make sweets ~! Try them, try them!

It is the main room of His Majesty the predecessor who meditates and remembers, the smile of Dear Angelica as if she were a child. Well... even if the sweets tasted so heterogeneous that they only seemed blasphemous to the ingredients, Angelica still loved me, the concubine. Angelica's real son, Elizabeth, has the same affection.

Of course, whether that's good or bad is another story. I also love my concubine child more than enough, sometimes angry, sometimes crying, sometimes laughing. As if it were discrimination or, on the contrary, indistinguishable, that behavior, like that of the Virgin Mary, would be well worth it as a beauty story if it were a very common family, but unfortunately we are the 'Flame Royal'.

"... including Angelica."

Does Master Angelica know? Behind that tenderness, the rapists tried to burn my mother to the throne.

Does Master Angelica know? Using that kindness, the rapists pressed me to demand the throne.

... Master Angelica won't know. With that tenderness, the rapists tried to make Elizabeth... my lovely 'Liz' a deceased.

……

No dark imagination. I reckon so and take the income and expenditure report I had at hand...... I feel extra dark.

"... another deficit,"

There is an unexpected sigh in the '▲' to be noted in the final line. Really...

"... Dear Erica"

The door knocked unexpectedly and I turned my gaze and my eyes met with black eyes peering into this one.

"I don't think it makes sense to open the door before you hear back, Emily?

"With all due respect, Master Erica. The door was open from the beginning?

"Really?"

"Yeah, keep the door tight if you're in any trouble."

That's what I say and send a cold glance at this one with no expression. The maid is the only one who says... Anyway, I send Emily a bitter laugh.

"That was bad. Besides, it's not a problem to be seen."

See? And turn the paperwork over to you. I ran my eyes at that number in my hand and rarely distorted that faceless look slightly to her.

"... another deficit, is it"

"Yes."

Shoulder to shoulder.

"... I will not sit down because of Erica"

"... thanks. I'm glad for your comfort."

"It's no consolation. of Flame... No, this is what happens to this land no matter which nobleman in the whole of Orkena reigns. Salty winds along the sea hurt crops and yield very little for them. This Rondo de Terra, with no notable tourist attractions or specialties to attract people, is more than Erica's 'virtue', which is done in deficits of this magnitude."

That's what I said, and I said it in one breath. Emily has the same faceless look on this one. "Virtue," huh.

"... thank you, Emily. So, you didn't come here to comfort me?

"... I was losing it. Dinner is ready...... do you want to have it here?

Look at the paperwork that spreads to me, Emily, and suggest so. Honestly, busy is busy. I'm busy...

"... Fine. It's the day I picked up the coata. I'll pick it up in the cafeteria."

"Do you mind?

"It's not like I'm stuck with my job because I don't have that much time."

Emily shows me her will to take a seat. Walking in front of that Emily takes two steps away from me and Emily continues.

"Let's go then. Shall we even hear about the 'brave' from different worlds?

◇◆◇◆◇◆

"Ah, Erica."

"Oh? You've been waiting for me? You could have eaten me first."

He looks at me as I walked into the dining room and stands up like a cota who was in a seat panicked. Control it with your hands and I'll lower my hips to the front seat of the coata.

"No... I was wondering if I would eat before my landlord on a boulder"

"You don't have to be so afraid, do you? Take it easy?

"Don't be afraid… reluctance and courtesy are separate issues"

... I see. Don't hesitate, but be polite?

"That's a good idea. Is that your country... courtesy of the 'world'?

As a little surprised by my words, Coata flies her gaze at Emily, who keeps me, more precisely, behind me.

"It's okay. Emily knows who you are."

"... are you okay? It would be rude to hear that."

"Right. At least I trust you, and I trust you."

"It's a bad word."

Emily lowering her head behind me. I can tell by the atmosphere without having to look.

"Then you have nothing to say from me. Tell you what, it's not as polite as that, is it? You wait, usually."

"... well, I guess so. Thank you for waiting. Let's eat."

At the same time as my words, Emili brought the dishes for two. Not so luxurious, but the ingredients themselves pound their tongues at it in the first-class product, turning their gaze to the coater at the thought of it as badly behaved.

"... heh"

"... what is it?

Coata turns a surprise gaze at the accidental exclamation she gave. Oh, did you hear that?

"You're being rude. I was just a little surprised because it was a brilliant table manner."

"... oh, I was losing it. Table manners, do they fit?

"It's a little uncomfortable, but I think that's graceful. At least it doesn't feel weird watching. Did you learn that at His Majesty's?

"No, this is in training"

"'Kenshu'?

"Yeah...... in my workplace I have time to learn these table manners. Don't be ashamed because you don't know where, when, and with whom you're going to eat."

"... heh"

"... Most importantly, I haven't had a chance to go out to a meeting where I need table manners since training. I'm relieved it didn't rust."

That's what I say and laugh at Coata.

"... it won't just be table manners, but it still makes a lot of difference"

Coata with an unintentionally moist face. The look is lonely or admirable... either way, it's not a good emotion.

"... I'm so sorry"

"Heh? Oh, no! Oh, that's not what I meant! I'm sorry, this is weird! Well, if you're looking at a book, it makes a lot of difference ~... Oh, book, thank you!

I kind of laugh and laugh a little at the look of Coata rushing to say so.

"Are you really just apologizing? I told you earlier, are you okay? If you're grand."

I'm kind of more sorry if this is all they say 'excuse me, excuse me'. The truth is, it's on this side.

Excuse me.

"Here."

"Ah... hey, this is already like a habit... that's the kind of nationality, the country I was in"

"Apologies are national?

Interesting country, that is.

"Apologies are not meant to be... do you mean not to say what you want to say, or do you say that you will use the truth and Jianmae separately?"

"... you mean the country with the back?

"On the contrary, what kind of country has no back table?

... Indeed. Two tongues are fundamental to diplomacy.

"... but you, can you read Flame?

The book I gave him is one written in Flame. Give it to me. What, but I didn't think I could read it.

"I have a few words to say that I can read... at least I can understand the letters when they get into my eyes, naturally."

"... is that... convenient to say what?

"Right. Honestly, I don't know why the language is through... well, if it doesn't, it's troublesome, but if it does, it's fine."

"Right. If it's bad, you'll need to find out why, but if it's good, is it good?

"Even if it's good, you'll need to find out why, but I don't know what you don't know."

That's what I'm gonna say. Coata to flatter your shoulders.

"Fair enough. So, did you get a little idea of the Flame kingdom?

"... right"

That said, Coata just skipped her gaze a little hollow.

"The Kingdom of Flame is a constitutional monarchy born during the 'Great Disintegration of the Empire' by Dietrich, the fifth emperor of the Flame Empire. Generations of kings are called 'Successors of the Flame Empire', 'The Millennium Kingdom', etc. because they come from the Flame family, the Imperial Emperor. The king's capital is Larchia. The city, which was also the capital of the former Flame Empire, has numerous medieval Orkena-era architecture and is also known as the 'ancient capital'.

The legal language is Flame. However, many merchants such as dormitories and cooks can read and write Orkena Continental Language, so if you speak Orkena Continental Language, it's fine. Also, as you know, it is a language derived from Flame itself and from Orkena Continental, a language that has a lot in common, so unless it is a more detailed story, it is possible to communicate the will sufficiently in Orkena Continental.

There are four types of currency units: white gold, gold, silver and copper. One white gold coin consists of two gold coins, one gold coin five silver coins and one silver coin ten copper coins. Although it varies slightly from city to city, prices tend to be slightly higher than in other countries, as it would be calculated to consume about three to four hundred white gold coins per year if four of the common Larchian residents lived there.

Security is very good in urban areas such as Larchia, Titanium, Laura and Bundesbacca with Kingdom Guard books and branch offices. However, it is important to note that many people are outlawed when entering a single back road... What do you think?

Unexpectedly, it makes me a pocan.

"... wow"

"Well, you have to remember that."

"... by the way, what are the sights of the Kingdom of Flame?

"It is the ancient capital of Larchia that you definitely want to stop by once when you take a sightseeing trip to Flame. It is also the birthplace of medieval Orkena culture and historical buildings such as the Old Larchian Imperial University Auditorium, Larchian Cathedral and St. George's Church Larchian General Church are left as they were at the time from the point of view of cultural protection. In addition, Titanium, the heart of northern culture, roughly a day's drive from Larchia by high-speed carriage, you may try to touch an exotic Titanium civilization that is different from medieval Orkena culture. I'm tired of regular sightseeing, and I recommend Laura in the south for those who say so. Laura is the only permitted city for public gambling in the Kingdom of Flame and the largest pleasure district after Parsena CC on the continent of Orkena. How about a city where you don't sleep, Laura, and you can try to forget about temporary reality?

"... perfect. You remember that well, don't you?

"Rather than... Is that the book?" Walking on the Continent of Orkena: The Kingdom of Flame Edition "is... obviously a travel magazine, isn't it?

"It's the best-selling book these days, isn't it?

"... well, yes."

Again, a shoulder-flattering coata. Maybe this is his habit, too.

"By the way, it's this Rondo de Terra"

"Terra, I am. Normally, I'd translate it as Terra."

"Terra, do you have any specialties or specialties... or things like tourist attractions? I would like to see sightseeing, etc. to the extent that it would not be annoying..."

……

... where it hurts. You said you were worried about that until just now.

"... you said that book has been the best seller lately, right?

"... I see"

I guess the head spins fast, Coata who understands immediately. I'm kind of just a little angry about that.

"... I'll be honest at this point. Terra has no specialties, no specialties, or attractions. More importantly, it's a city built on inlets, so the flatlands themselves are few, and the sea breeze doesn't allow the crops to grow ingeniously."

"Uh..."

"Clearly, it's not a charming city. For once, I have an inappropriate 'status' because of my position as Sister Wang, but I earn less than the barons and Viscounts there"

It makes me sad to say it, but I can't help but lie.

"So, unfortunately, I can't even let you be that extravagant. I can't help but bring you here. What... Precisely enough to make you live a life without eating or eating?

I'm sorry, aren't I? And that's what I say and smile and show you. Really... it makes me sad to say it.

……

……

……

"... could you say something?

"... yeah... how do I put it..."

That said, I often fly my gaze into the hollow.

"... so?

"... what?

I just feel a little sorry for you.

"... the"

Still, clearly.

"... you don't want to make that unattractive city attractive? Assuming the Lords."

... what?
