The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)

It may not be an old thing, but the so-called "established" has a format and tradition that corresponds to it, and it is the world that gathers respect for it.

The Kingdom of Flame is an 'established' grouping not only of the countries of the continent of Orkena in this respect, but also of the rest of the world. An authentic successor to Alex, the founding emperor who united the continent of Orkena, which was called the 'hero' and was a time of heroic warring. Its noble blood and history, with its continuous cotton, will give the Flame royal family the name of one of the most prestigious royal families on the continent of Orkena. Erica called it the "relationship between landlord and store," but the reality would be that parent-child relationships would be more appropriate. Around Carlos I, king of Solvania, would be bassari truncated as' fruitless', but the Kingdom of Flame always sits on the 'upper seat' when negotiating with each nation. Whether the position of the practitioner's opponent is higher than that of the Kingdom of Flame, lost in the war, or offered assistance, he or she will always sit on the upper seat in any bargaining matter, and will receive the worship of each nation in the pre-construction period. Only, up front.

"... ha"

He drops his eyes on the report that came up in his private room, and Liz sighs alone.

Elizabeth Orenfeld Flame, 'Liz' is the queen. Indeed, Erica and Sonia are undisputed princesses in the brackets of "royalty". but the minutes are a little worse than Liz's.

As Erica has said in the past, she is the son of a side chamber while staying at the first princess of the former king. From the moment of her birth, she had been shut on the road to becoming king. That has been more pronounced since Liz was born, and all she was asked to do was act as Liz's 'spare'. I grew up without any discrimination because of the morality of Liz's mother, Angelica, but I could have had enough of a good, political tool if it was supposed to be, or an assassination if it was bad.

Let's do it in Sonia's case. She is the eleventh child of Carlos I. Even she is undoubtedly a princess, but her powers are very weak. Whatever, Eleven, guess what, man. There is also the character of Carlos I. Sonia has rightly lived as a 'tool', but also as a substitute consumable.

……

In that regard, Liz is overwhelmingly different. 'Orthodox' successor to the Flame royal family, who stands in the upper seat of each country. As the only being with nothing else to replace, from birth to its future, glory was promised that a brilliant crown would shine over its head... a 'real' princess, if you dare. Soon after his birth, Liz was attached to dozens of female officers, raised to be butterflies and flowers.

Children grow up looking at their parents' backs. Liz had eclampsia every time she was young. Naturally, you will be greeted with the most salutations at home and abroad. Expecting a young girlfriend to have the opportunity to look behind people's minds is an intangible story, and it's not funny if she misinterprets it as' all grown-ups bow fathers are great 'and thinks' such a father's daughter's me is great too '... well, no wonder. It is also in the circle that the women blow to Liz,' You are the king any day. 'She did not doubt, of her own free will, that she would always get what she wanted.

It was Leezelotte who tenderly preached Liz when she was such a child, and it was Erica who treated her with mercy while fighting...... it was Angelica who educated her with iron fist sanctions. Whenever Liz said I was exhausted, Angelica relentlessly dropped her fist bone on her head. Cry or call, but without any mercy. It is roughly a royal secluded occupation, but called Jessica and good Angelica, the Larchian royal human being would fundamentally be classified as heterogeneous in the royal category.

With the gift of education, Liz's endeavor gradually grew. The princess who thought she was the greatest princess in the world had learned the fact that by the time she was over ten years old, she could not remain of her own free will or make mistakes herself, and become a person who could bow her head to people. Some subordinates complained that the royal family, which is also 'honorable and traditionally noble' the successor of the Flame royal family, bowed his head lightly. I was there.

"If you do something wrong, you can't admit you did something wrong. What's" king "? Even kings are human, aren't they? Sometimes I make mistakes. Besides, what? What do you call" honor and traditionally noble ", flame royal character, when you bow your head a little bit, is such an easy thing to do?

In Angelica's words, everyone said they shut up. It is a non-standard royalty that makes it.

"Why... why, Lotte"

Under such an education, Liz didn't think she was' all right ', but she was less shocked by Lotte's' treason '. It's the biggest thing for her that Lotte, not any other minister. My father found me, and he was with me from a young age, like a grandfather. A' never betray 'loyal minister, but in a way a family-like being. That is the Lotte Baumgarden review in Liz.

……

Of course, not once or twice has Lotte complained to young Liz. He's the hardest man in the Flame kingdom to be made up of civilians. Lotte's words, experienced both sour and sweet, were also things worth listening to, taking to the inexperienced Liz, who was young but had to head the national government.

Still, Lotte eventually continued to be on Liz's side. Politics is not always something that can be divided into two parts: white and black. There are times when Liz's words and Lotte's, both of which are right. Or when you don't know which is right.

That's when Lotte was sure to get Liz up. Adopt Liz's opinion, and if it was out of business, turn your hand and keep that damage to a minimum. Relationships as if they were teachers who let students work on them and take responsibility. Being young enough to be seventeen, but bent over, Liz behaves as queen of the Flame kingdom is not something that could have been achieved without Lotte's help.

I can understand what Lotte has to say. Because it is possible to harvest large fruits with less effort. But at the same time, Liz's judgment is by no means a mistake and definitely not a good one. "It is the role of the Kingdom of Flame to arbitrate," Lotte said, "but" comforting other nations crying in tragedy "is also the splendid role of the Kingdom of Flame as the 'parent' of the continent of Orkena. It can also be argued that Liz's judgment will be more easily endorsed by public opinion in terms of her future standing in the international community.

"... why"

In a case like this one, Lotte must have stood Liz up. He did not do anything to advance on his own, but listened to Liz's opinions and worked out all measures to make Liz's thoughts reflected in national politics. At least, Liz doesn't know "Lotte" as a stand-up person. No wonder Liz was shocked... no matter what, Liz's stress tolerance, raised as a 'princess', was not as strong as Erica's or Sonia's.

"... yeah! It's all right!

More than in ancient times, the history of the royal family is the backbone of the history of murder. Assassination, poisoning, murder, whatever. Thousands of years, I made it a flame royal family over the fifties, not all monarchs died in "On Tatami" in Japanese style.

"Oh, it's okay... Daiji... Bu?

So far, Lotte, who was on your side at the end, betrayed you?

"Oh, no..."

So far, Lotte, who helped herself, has finally abandoned herself?

"Oh, there must be..."

For Lotte... aren't you unnecessary?

"Heh... heh...?

Doesn't Lotte hurt me?

……

I pay for such an imagination after a moment by shaking my head to the left and right. There's no way, there's no way, I squeal in my mouth. Yes, I'm not bad. Then you can't possibly be harmed. Mostly, I'm not the bad guy, I'm the Lotte guy.

"... yes. The bad news is Lotte. It's not me."

Diplomacy is a matter of state. It's ridiculous that a prime minister decides such an important thing that shapes the end of the line, aside from himself, the king, he said.

"... I'm starting to get angry."

Not being royal, Liz can honestly bow her head if she thinks she's bad. but on the contrary, he is a person who will never bow his head if he thinks he is not bad. She didn't have the idea of "bowing her head for now, even if it wasn't bad, and" Queen Flame, "she was pretty much the only woman on the continent that was allowed to do that to anyone.

"... Huh!

Liz replaces the sentiments of fear from earlier with anger and again drops her eyes on the paperwork at hand, which she abusively handed over. The way she waves that emotion is also a testament to her fear of Lotte... but she doesn't realize that much. Or are you avoiding instinctively coming to that idea?

"Yes! Mostly, Lotte always does! Treat me like a child at all times...! Even I'm trying!

Liz is never a fool king. Since history, if we were to divide the kings that exist into two parts, we would undoubtedly be queens who belong to the wise kings, and Lotte also fully acknowledges that. I just didn't tell Liz that.

"... what is it! Lotte fool! What is loyalty!

Leaving it to anger, Liz threw the paperwork she was holding at her side desk and turned her gaze to the next paperwork.

"... oh?

To the letters that dance there, hold your eyes.

……

... That's right.

"... oh, yeah"

... what am I now? and.

"Poor queen, betrayed by loyalists."

A naked king, flaunted by loyalists who believed, whose thoughts, thoughts, and nothing are reflected in national politics. No one can believe it.

"... that sounds pathetic, doesn't it, me"

Clearly, it is a paranoia. That would be anger if Lotte listened, excessive paranoia.

"That's right... I'm a very pathetic, weak girl"

... but Liz won't stop.

"... such a poor queen... young, saving a girl..."

The paperwork at hand - as I speak to the name of the person found in that paperwork announcing the repayment of the debt from Terra.

"- It's the 'brave man' job, isn't it?

Liz doesn't even hate to bow her head if she thinks it's bad, that's who she is. Anyway, as a king, as a human being, I'm never a bad person, nor am I an impatient person.

"Please protect me, don't you?

... Still, she is the 'King'. Even if you don't get what you want, what you want, or 'everything' … you get most of the stuff. That is not in the category of 'exhaustion' for her. As a king, it's a natural 'right'.

And gems.

And painting.

And a delicious meal.

"Hey... Dear Courta Matussillo?

... myself, even the 'brave man' who let go once.

◆◇◆◇◆◇

"Coata, Han!

"Maria, the tail!

"Akan. Everybody listen to me."

Maria leaps into Erica's office and sits back in the chair like she's tired shaking her neck left or right to the words of Kota, who speaks out in anticipation. I gently returned it to Emily's tea and put it in my mouth.

"... I'm really here. If we do this, we won't go any further... or the carpenters we've gathered will quit... and it'll just cost us money."

……

"... the... I'm sorry, Coata Han. If we hold on a little longer..."

"It's not Maria's fault, this is"

Kota laughs at me for saying that, but I don't have the strength to laugh at it.

Terra was temporarily in a state of panic when an egg and milk bubble could be played. There were many people in Terra, not even about Lime, the source of the earthquake. I'm not allowed to be intact at all... specifically, 'pennies... my pennies!' and Erica wet her pillow with tears. By the way, Sonia and Emili sell out and have the profits there. The reading of the market does not necessarily coincide with the talent of beating.

'That's why I told you to quit,' he said in tears to Kota, shrugging his face. 'Absolutely, I thought I was going up a little bit more!' It was good until Erica argued. That was a joke...... Erica's purse. I'm sorry for the joke, but it was a joke.

"... I'm here"

The problem is the war that ensued.

Though it is a nasty story, 'war' is basic and lucrative. Weapons are not the only way the so-called munitions industry can make money. I need food to feed my soldiers, and I need something to wear. Especially as in this war between Lyme and Larchia, in a type of war where the Larchian side names its country and moves into war, many men, whether volunteering or conscripting, participate as soldiers. Men who join the war as soldiers are basically young and often the most 'fat ridden' years as workers. Industries where workers have been taken naturally suffer from depleted production capacity and will no longer be covered by imports from other countries.

Yes, war is profitable. Mainly 'countries not participating in the war'.

If it were meant to be, it wouldn't be funny if there were war special needs for Terra either. It's the war between Lyme and Larchia and everything else. Terra, which has no major industry, is at least about the relay point. If things move, people move, and if people move, money moves. If it was Terra until before Kota arrived.

Terra is home to many merchants and chambers of commerce. There are people in the Flame Kingdom, and there are people in the Solvania Kingdom, and there are tradesmen in Laurent.

... of course, merchants coming from Lime and Larchia.

The Larchian Chamber of Commerce, which bordered Princess Jessica's obituary, was engulfed with profound grief. The Chamber of Commerce that is coming to Terra is basic, the 'big' Chamber of Commerce. Jessica was a royal family who valued contact with the people, and the class of representatives of each chamber of commerce who were on assignment to Terra worshipped Jessica, and knowing her personality with their own eyes added to their grief.

The Lyme-based Chamber of Commerce naturally panicked. Famous for his fellow merchants, 'Don't speak ill of Jessica in Larchia. The next day, it's getting cold,' said Princess Jessica's obituary. It is also due to the failure of its own government.

Terra's gathering of each chamber of commerce in the corner of the "Commercial District" was also a source of confusion. Next to the Lime-based chamber of commerce, Zara is home to the landscape of the Larchian chamber of commerce. It is not the noise of the crossing boat.

Extremely is Larchia's declaration of war against Lime. Terra's tensions climax and the Lime-based Chamber of Commerce panics. At each Lyme Chamber of Commerce, it is decided not to go out at night, even during the day, but always to act with two or more people. Monodane with life, this decision is not a laughable thing in itself. No, but this in turn will harden the attitude of the Larchian Chamber of Commerce. Said, 'It is very sad that we have fallen into a state of engagement between the two countries. But aren't we, the Chamber of Commerce of Terra, one of those people who formed the "Union of Londo de Terra Merchants"? What the hell does it mean to make such a decision unilaterally without consulting that fellow citizen? You don't trust us, do you?' and. Larchia's side of the story is' Boy hates to the point of hating ', something close to saying but certain reason. On the Lime side, there is no room for negotiation in setting up a messenger and making explanations, and Larchia's attitude just hardens.

Tensions between the Chambers of Commerce of Lyme and Larchia also pass on to the Chambers of Commerce of other countries. As mentioned, the Lyme and Larchian lines up the house. Even the chambers of commerce of other countries caught in the meantime are not human resources. Even if we don't intend to do so in both countries, there can be plenty of things to do. Naturally, each Chamber of Commerce reported this to its head office in its home country. "Terra is in a ruthlessly dangerous state right now," he said. The merchant who had come to Terra gradually turned his legs away, and the city of Terra, so busy, became quiet as the fire was extinguished. Even the merchants in Terra are the same. Everyone is adorable. Each Chamber of Commerce, overlaid with a suspicious ghost, decides to suspend the functioning of the merchants' union until 'Larchia Lime's relationship returns to a healthy state'. It can be seen that it is true that if they don't beat you at a union meeting, you won't be enemies.

To this end, Terra fell into complete dysfunction. The harbor maintenance project is running, and work is already under way. There are still a lot of matters that need to be approved by the union, even though they are still going according to plan. In the meantime, I can't go without paying the people I hire. I'm not even going to take the method of dismissal. If you do that, it will be a credit issue. The plan is not over. Instead, it's coming.

……

Staring into his own hands, Kota contemplates future measures... and resents his own head for not floating anything.

Kota is a basic, output-capable talent, but not a creative genius. Various things he has shown us so far in Terra, or in Solvania… If we are to call him the 'Demon King', then many of that 'magic' is just a rekindling of the knowledge that we have ourselves. In Japan, it's just a story that I've come to output the knowledge I've put in at the bank. And he never has infinite knowledge. As a matter of course, there is so much knowledge that it has not been input by itself that it rots, and this case is really knowledge that Kota has not input.

Kota is an extremely average 'Japanese'. The experience of war and the sense of crisis that makes it a state of war are really average Japanese. I didn't even imagine, by any chance, that my city would suddenly be divided into enemy allies and a state of tension one step ahead of the war. It may be sweet to say, but it would be too harsh to ask Kouta that much.

"... Dear Coata"

Emili softly lays her hands on Kota's face of anguish. Knowing that he himself floated the colour of his misery in his worried eyes, he tried to force himself to smile.

"That... what the hell do you have in mind?

Kota's smile solidified in Emili's expression, which brought the expected color to her eyes.

"... Huh?

With a sweeping voice, I squeal like that.

"Oh, yeah! Coata! You got something, don't you? Unlock this state of affairs, there are such measures!

Erica glistens those eyes and stuffs them in the coata, as Emili agrees.

"Right. Cotta, what's the way?

Sonia's, of course, words.

"... SEYA ~. CORTA HAN, WHAT WAY?

See how well you do, and Maria's attitude all the time.

"Oh, the..."

Four to eight eyes shoot Kota. Everyone's gaze of anticipation shifted Kouta's gaze.

"What? Coata, hiding again? I told you, didn't I? Quit doing that!

Erica's trust to the cruelty pierces Kota.

"How, even if they say..."

"Dear Coata, We don't understand everything that Coata thinks. But now it's a matter of Terra. There may not be much I can do... but let me help you, too."

That said, to Emily, who bows her head, a pain runs in Hota's heart.

"Yes, Master Coata. I have a place in Solvania, but I want to help you this time. I want to be of some help to Kota..."

Hota's spirit screams at Sonia, who dyes her cheeks to Zhu and says something special.

... you need to quit.

... there's no way.

... No.

Don't point me at those caged eyes of expectation......

"... I'm sorry. I have no way..."

Like squeezing.

I said I had no power, so I drooped my head and apologized to Kota.

"Is that how you're gonna do everything on your own again? Already! I know the coater is awesome, so let us help you!

... this neighborhood was the limit.

"So... you're telling me there's no way!

Burn, and.

Strong, slap the desk in front of you. The office time stopped.

"It's not like any case can be solved immediately! I can only do what I can!

Erica.

Emily.

Sonia did.

Maria.

Everyone takes their breath, unexpectedly.

It's not like Erica, Emily, and Sonia have never seen Coata's anger. As far as Sonia was concerned, she lost her fist bone to her head. Naturally, even Coata knows to be angry. I know.

... I've never seen Kota like this before.

"Cotta?

Approximately.

To Erica's words, courageous and so vocal, Kota learns the feeling that the blood ascended to her head descends to her feet.

"Also, sorry! Shh, I'm missing a little calm! Ho, is that a way? Yeah, yeah! Please wait while I think about it!

Obvious, defective. It is the pinnacle of stupidity, such as not answering expectations and absurd voices. Emily, clearly upset, gives a voice to Kota, who unwittingly bows her head.

"Yes, no! I'm not going to sit here and apologize! Hi, sorry to hear about this! Well..."

Kota can't lift his lowered head to the end of a disappearing narrative. Face up, driven by the urge to beat yourself up by your pity.

"... Huh!

As before, it is shot into four pairs of eight eyes.

... frightened and in the eyes with a little 'disappointment'.

"... Oh, that!

"And excuse me!

Voices echo from beyond the door, as he could no longer stand his gaze and accidentally controlled Kota, who raised his voice.

"Hey, what? If you're not in a hurry, I'll..."

pointing out that door, to Erica, who spoke so.

"... in shapes... from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth Orenfeld Flame, sit in shapes. Please... Permission to enter."

The voice outside the door told him so strictly.
