The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)

"There are quite a few problems in the Flame Kingdom right now. There's a big problem, too, like if you make a mistake, it'll develop into a dispute between nobles and civilians."

"... ha"

Kota recommended the chair to Erica, who came to visit her room, 'Well, even tea'. There were two cups of tea on the table, making the hot air stand up. Earlier, Liz drank her own tea. Erika had a full stomach without metaphorical expression, but I thought it was nothing to say no. I put my mouth on the tea and dampened my mouth to carry on the words.

"Here... actually? There is also a family of counts in the Kingdom of Flame known as the Fame... and the lady from there ran off with the merchant in and out. The Earl family is a prestigious royal family, but it's already in Cancún... so I'm going to talk to the head of the Earl family."

Hearing Erica's words, Kota also puts her mouth on the cup of tea in front of her. There is one word that comes to Hota's mind, namely, 'I've heard it somewhere'.

"Uh... is that about Count Ferber?

I tend to shy away just a little bit, and Erica's eyes are rounded in the words of Kota, who speaks so. Then he opened his mouth surprisingly to show it.

"... you know?

"'This civilian flair!' Though I was told. directly from you."

Show those words with Erica shaking her neck left or right to do it to her forehead.

"I don't know... I'm sorry, Coata. I don't like it."

"No, I don't care. Besides, you're not asking Erica to apologize, are you?

"For once, it's a 'relative'. Well, if that's what Coata's gonna say to you, it's sweet of you to say... sorry about Coata, Ked, that's quick and helpful. To put it bluntly, 'Please' from Liz is Count Ferber's persuasion. He wants me to convince him that he's smart enough to convince him."

"... Convinced?

Ferber cursing himself in the back of Hota's brain comes back to life.

"Isn't that... impossible?

Boy, if you hate me, you hate me. That attitude is all I'm saying. Doesn't look like an easy balls to convince.

"Besides, I think Mr. Ferber has a point."

"One thing?"

"Your daughter, who was adorable, ran off, right? Ordinary parents would be angry."

"So it's not a good reason to scold Coata for not having anything to do with it, is it?

"Well yes...... isn't this the kind of thing that doesn't solve anything but time? If you show me your grandson's face, I'll hear he's in a better mood."

……

"... what is it?

"No... don't hold Ferber's shoulder long enough ~. What? Could it be an experience?

Kota shows Erica, who sees herself with jittery eyes, shaking her head left and right in a hurry.

"Oh, it's not! It's not... well, it's a good story to hear."

There is the phrase 'Congratulations on your marriage'. Double Happy Marriage is something I've been saying lately, but it's about premarital pregnancy, when pregnancy is discovered before marriage. That's called 'Shotgun Maridge' in the United States.

There are two sources of language. "Oh, my God, you're scratching my daughter! Take responsibility and marry! 'And the theory that I'm going to church with a shotgun stuck in the back of a man and' Oh, my God, you're scratching my daughter! Don't move your cock! I'll beat you to death! 'And I have a theory that because I go after him around with a shotgun. Either way, it's not moderate, but I don't know from a parent's point of view.

"Co, a premarital pregnancy! Oh, you filthy bastard!

Erica dyes her face bright red for Kota's slender description. I'm a beginner at that for Around Twenty, but I can't help but say that the Kingdom of Flame has some other choice than to be a nation seeking the virginity of a new wife.

"Personally, I think it's more important than the process leading up to it whether life is happy after pregnancy and childbirth… well, there will be a lot of thinking around it, and I will avoid making explicit statements. Anyway, that's how I got angry once. The story of my father changing his attitude if he sees his grandson's face too... well, if he asks, I hear it."

"... even running off?

"It's a subtle tocoro around there, though."

There is no human being in the boulder who ran down around Kota, so there is no place for reasoning. I won't answer, but Niza, Iris, and the two parties make up first as a priority issue as Hota's belly. I don't know what to say, but I don't have time to deal with my obstinate father... and on a genuine basis, there are some things I don't even want to be involved with.

"So personally, I think Count Ferber's best bet is to 'leave him alone', right?

In conclusion, here it is. Having heard the words, Erica sipped a sip of tea and then exhaled a big big sigh to show.

"... I see. So you're saying it's better if you don't stick your neck in the coat?

"I have a few words to say..."

"Oh, I'm sorry. I don't mean to be stubborn. There are some things I can understand when I hear Coata's explanation. I don't think time is a bad way to solve this."

"Bye."

"What if Ferber was an old man in hiding or something?

"... Hmm?

"I'm sure Coata knows, but 'The Kingdom of Flame' doesn't have a simple state system of 'nobility is great, civilians are not great'."

"Mr. Lotte, but Mr. Scion, right? Even the civilian class will be used heavily if they have the ability."

"That sort of thing. Especially when it comes to supporting the kingdom of Flame, an organization called the" Royal Palace "is an administrative organization occupied by the distinguished" civilian "class who graduated from the University of Larchia. 'Just because I'm noble doesn't mean I'm at peace with that status. It has been a tradition since Alex, the founding emperor, to say," Citizens, give the right place to those who have completed their studies. "

"It's like you heard somewhere, it"

It rewards not only by virtue of family character, but also by virtue of status and honor, as well as money, to the person who made the effort. His Majesty's Majesty's Majesty's Majesty's Majesty.

"Ferber is the deputy head of the Kingsguard. In my duties, I may meet with officials of the King's Palace, and I may meet with academics like Theon. There seems to be no remarkable problem right now... but what if? Like Ferber said to Coata, 'This civilian flair! What if I told a man in the King's Palace?"

"... you don't really want to imagine, it"

"Give me a hundred paces. I'm not ready for the King's Palace or the Academy."

"Really?

"We weren't originally that close, and martial arts officers and civilians"

"That's what Mr. Theon said, too, I guess."

"But right? Some of the national armies held by the kingdom of Flame are commanded by civilians? There are discussions between the military, and at that time... on the day I say 'I can't listen to civilians'... the Kingdom of Flame will split. Basically, there's a lot of blood in the military."

"I don't think the Commander Class will ever take such short-circuit action... but I know what you're trying to say."

You won't have to roll the spark in vain.

"I can't even tell you how long it's been."

"I see."

He nodded like he was good at it, one sigh.

"... so a white feather arrow stood on Erica," he said?

"It's best for Carl to convince me, really. He's my current supervisor. But Carl's not a less bloody person either... or he's a more bloody person. Buying words into selling words is definitely a fight."

……

Kota, who knows too much, responds in silence. Silence is gold.

"When Liz says it's going to be totally 'royal life' and it's out of the question what 'civilians' Lotte says. When that happens, it will not reside in the king's capital, Larchia, but it will also have the knowledge with Ferber, where it will be best for a high-ranking human to 'persuade'. In other words."

"... Erica said the bowl is coming around,"

He resides in Terra, is a duke, and is the sister of His Majesty the King. It's like a job for Erica.

"What about facial knowledge?

"I wonder if you're cute? I'm close to Iris."

"Increasingly perfect, is it"

Again, sigh.

"... As I said earlier, Mr. Ferber just told you, didn't he?" There's a civilian flair! '"

"It's the right job for me, including there, this time."

"... eh?

"What Coata did is also being discussed in this king's capital, Larchia. Naturally, it's also in Ferber's ear."

"Is that it?

"'This civilian flair! To Ferber, who says,' Don't be silly because you're a civilian! I can tell you, it's like a coata."

"... it seems difficult, but it"

Erica shows a little sympathy and more dissatisfaction in her face to Kota, who has an obviously unridden look on her face. Haota twisted her neck in surprise at the look on Erica's face.

"What's up?

"Nothing. It's the same masochistic habit - I just thought"

"Self-inflicted... I'm not going to say that."

"Pull yourself up a little bit more, won't you? You're my... well... you're my partner." It's all my business, isn't it? You can tell me about it. "

"To the boulder. That's a little, what is it?"

"But that's how amazing you are. So, personally, I want you to be more forthcoming."

Drinking up the remaining tea in one breath, Erica puts the cup on the table. Katin, and Sosa and Cup played a small sound.

"Well, that's why. Will you hang out with me?

One smile. Shoulder to shoulder with a smile on Erica smiling.

"... you have no choice." Partner, "so."

Erica's grin also darkened to such Hauta's words.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"... there's something I wanted to ask you."

"What?"

Kota's private room to Kingsguard Knights Deputy Commander's private room is a sufficient distance on foot, 'I can't believe you two walked alone...... So, a date? This isn't a date!' and the convenient conversion of Erica's brain marrow had the side effect of blushing its cheeks, 'Is it a cold?' 'Yes, it's okay!' What a betty conversation, Erica and Kota were both walking down the corridor of the Royal Castle of Larchia. I don't care, Erica, who can be happy enough to rise to heaven with her little happiness of walking side by side, is almost as fuel-efficient as a hybrid car. It's pitiful.

"Mr. Iris and Count Ferber weren't their... good friends?

"Why?"

"That's what Mr. Ferber says...... if you think it's 'civilian', I thought Mr. Iris himself would grow up to be that kind of person. I thought I'd do something to run off with Niza."

Grow up looking at a parent's back, but the impact of the home environment on a child's growth is not small. If you are a child with a good relationship with your parents, you will apprentice your parents, otherwise your child is something to rebel against.

"There would have been momentum, of course, but even so much as choosing for a lifetime companion. Were you dissatisfied with your education policy?

Erica responds by clamping her shoulders to Kota, who asks.

"The Ferber family is one of the prestigious nobles, and it's a royal branch. If you think only of the right to inherit the throne, it's higher than the Lausanne family at Carl's. Being a nobleman that high is one important task: 'Pool of blood'. Nonetheless, Count Ferber doesn't have a side chamber. You know what this means?

"... first in the main room, and?

"Because we're family friendly and famous, over there"

"Then why did Mr. Iris' run off 'and so on?

"Neeza, the other person, was somewhat attractive to me... but perhaps it was Count Ferber who changed."

Talking that far, Erica stops the walk. Kota, who was then stopped on his feet, urged Erica to continue with her eyes alone.

"Back in the day... or Count Ferber as I know it wasn't 'yes'"

"Were you treating me separately?

"I've always been a proud man to be a 'nobleman', a house to be brought to the royal family. But... that's not why you were unfairly disparaging people, Count Ferber."

"... Hmm"

"Nobles were nobles, civilians were civilians, there was something else, of course, but they were still people who recognized and respected their abilities. The last time it happened was more than five years ago, and now it's not funny to change... but let's ask the person around."

That being said and showing her shoulders again, Erica knocked the door in front of her three times with Concon Con. When I heard the voice 'Go ahead' from the room, I pushed the door open.

"... Long time no see, Count Ferber. Is it a breath disaster?"

Ferber, who was blinding himself to the writing on his desk, raises his face to that voice of Erica. After a moment of surprise, a delightful colour appeared on his face.

"... oh!

Full grin. I looked at Kota earlier and said, 'There's a civilian flair!' Kota unwittingly draws her body and consciousness to that smile that doesn't really match the human memory she said.

"It's been a long time, Master Erica. You've been so beautiful... you've come to resemble Master Lieselotte more and more."

"I'm glad you said that, Count Ferber."

"Oh? Because you wouldn't call me 'Uncle Airhardt' like you used to?

Ferber smiles a prankster, looking just a little funny.

"... how many times are we talking, Count Ferber?"

"This is rude. But no matter how old you are, Erica will be at Erica's table. Remember that? This, Erica, lost in this vast Royal Castle of Larchia!

"Oh, already! Don't talk about it!

"Can you remember this airhardt like it was yesterday? Put a cup of tears in your eyes..."

"Surrender! Give me a break already."

To Erica, who showed her willingness to surrender with her hands up, Count Ferber also tried to turn her face into a pleasant grin from the bottom of her heart - she noticed Kota behind Erica and at once erased the grin of her face and showed it floating on the top of the Buddha.

"... Dear Erica?

"... this will change your expression as easily as possible, you."

Erica sighs like she's tired. Then I showed Ferber a dry grin.

"Mostly, I think you can tell... I came here today to..."

"About Iris, right?

"- That's the thing. To be precise, we're talking about your attitude.

"I was glad to see a pure reunion that would warm up the old relationship if I could?

"Let's warm you up that way. There's a lot to talk about."

Count Ferber and Erica's gaze are involved. After staring at each other for a long time, he sighed and Ferber missed his gaze.

"... well, it's also a matter of staying standing. Please, sit down."

At the tip of the deviated gaze, point to the space in which the simple set of receptions is placed with gaze. Gently pulling his jaw, Erica and Kota lowered their hips to the chair on the reception set.

"Shall I let you brew some tea?

"Just how you feel, I'll put it down. I've had enough."

I nodded to Erica's words, and Ferber also lowered his hips opposite the reception set.

"I'm not going to go around saying that. Ferber? Isn't your attitude very good?

"... Hmm. Your... Excuse me, what was your name?

"It's Matsuyo. My name is Kota Matsudai."

"Did Lord Matsuyo ask you? I said," This civilian thing, "huh?

"It's not just Coata. Your majesty told you that, didn't he?

"I'm letting the aristocratic wind blow and make it look great," he said?

"... disrespectful, Ferber"

"Excuse me."

Ferber stares into the hollow so as to cut the gaze that was right for Erica. Erica went on to say things, as if pursuing them to such a Ferber.

"I know you've always been proud of a house called Ferber. But Ferber? You weren't once a civilian, were you? Um... I know Iris can't get to his stomach like this... but, Ferber? It..."

"You seem to be misthinking something, Erica."

"- So... misunderstanding?

"I don't think nobility is great. More precisely, nobility is not 'unconditionally' great."

"... what does that mean?

Erica brings the color of doubt to Ferber's answers in her eyes. Taking that gaze, Ferber opened his mouth - as if he were a teacher giving his own students a solution.

"The equinox called 'nobility' is endowed with enormous rights. The right to have access to the territory, the civil grass, the tax revenues, all of them, and - at the same time - the duties and responsibilities that arise from exercising that right, right?

"... right. Well? If this country were just as' splendid 'a nobleman as you call it, this country would have been a better country, wouldn't it?

"I am not going to sit around saying that all nobles are fine, etc., and I know very well that there are still immature places for me. But at least I'm not going to live to do what I've been given."

……

"More or less, the thing called aristocracy is trying to fulfill its' duty '. Therefore, in consideration of this, our aristocracy is a territory, a status, an honorable being… and, yes, a" should be "being."

Ferber turns his gaze to Erica so he can talk and get confirmation. I realized that Erica was only urging me to continue with her eyes, and I took over the words.

"We also know that some of the 'civilians' are trying to fulfill this' duty '. Sir Lotte Baumgarden, for example. Kakaen is... With all due respect, despite being a civilian, he is a fine contributor to the state. Those people deserve respect, and I'm going to try to be brotherly."

"... so?

"To sum up… there is no such thing as a nobleman/civilian if you are a person who contributes to this kingdom of Flame. But if it's not, if it's not a person who's not contributing to the state... I'll tell you what I mean by" civilian flair. "

Take a breath.

"The act of 'running down' sits on this very thing. Niza's deeds are not just his own, they are even demeaning acts of the Roat Chamber of Commerce, his parents' home. I put my heart into Your Majesty's work, and I sit in the act of causing Sir Lotte to give unwanted attention and to pursue only his own pleasure on it. Do you have any idea why this extended to such conduct?

"It's..."

"Niza is missing the concept of 'responsibility'. Do whatever you want because you are not responsible. I'm not responsible, so I'll do something on my own. I'm not responsible, I don't care who you bother, I don't care who you bother, I don't know."

"... because you're a civilian?

"As I said earlier, I'm not saying that all civilians are. My apologies, but in terms of 'responsibility' for 'the state', I think nobility is above it. It seems to me that nobility is required to do everything for the nation and His Majesty. So, if there is, I want to thank the people who fulfill that responsibility."

That's it, turn your gaze to Kota.

"… indeed, it would not have been a praiseworthy act to suddenly say to Lord Matsuyoshi, 'There is a civilian flair'. But, Master Erica? He stepped into the Holy Kingsguard training ground, didn't he?

"... is that... is that right, Coata?

"Uh... yes"

Just a little awkward, Kota looks away. Even though there are excessive bends, the fact that you set foot is an unmistakable fact in itself.

"... Coata. The Kingsguard Training Grounds are 'sanctuaries' that must not be stepped on except by members of the Kingsguard Knights and His Majesty. It's forbidden for outsiders to use it on their own."

"I'm sorry about that."

Honestly bow your head, Kota. He lowered his drinks somewhat to that attitude, or Ferber continued with a heart-warming voice.

"After that, the circumstances were accepted by His Excellency the Commander. If you ask, the captain said he couldn't possibly invite you, and there's room for extenuating circumstances. Yes... but if you were a 'nobleman' in the Kingdom of Flame, you wouldn't have thought to step into a training ground, despite the recommendations of the captain of the regiment? Lady Erica, would you hesitate?

"... right"

"So I said then. I don't even know the logic of such a flame kingdom."

……

"Aristocrats live as nobles. Civilians live as civilians. This is not discrimination, it is distinction. We need to not cross each position and do our best in it."

"I know how you feel. But you know what? That said..."

"And... that's the same for Iris. No, it's no exaggeration to say that Iris is more guilty."

"-... and yes?

"There is a thing for you: the duty to fulfill more than the nobility is nobility. That silly girl... after running off..."

Clouds, endangerment. Looking down, he was angry like a volcano about to erupt.

"... largely, what is the rush down... of the nobility, the daughter of the Ferber family, who also brings it to the royal family, by virtue of, say, the rush down? Are you licking me, that stupid girl...... what is it? 'I live in love!' Ahhh!

- Correction. I didn't run out of time.

"Huh, Ferber? Well, calm down."

"What is it? 'I want to live free! I'm sorry about the birds in the cage! What makes you say that? This is the first conversation between wild, live birds! I want bait, but I don't like it in the cage, do I? Don't let it slip past you! If you're noble, you're noble, you do your duty, and that stupid girl!

"Oh, fall -"

"I raised him the wrong way! I grew up with such a stupid daughter because I thought she was my last daughter and I spoiled her! A lifetime of unconsciousness! That stupid girl, if you find her, it won't be free! Locked in a 're-education room' passed down to my Ferber family to educate the nobles from scratch -"

"I told you to calm down! Ferber!"

Erica screams indoors. To that voice, Ferber, who had regained some calm, showed her hips beautifully folded.

"... excuse me, I'm a little disturbed"

"... is that a little bit, you?

Kota nodded in her chest at Erica's voice like she was tired - and I think. I was wondering if there was anyone decent in the Flame Kingdom.

"And anyway! I know what you're thinking - I don't really want to know, but, well, I get it."

"It's superimposed"

"For once, I'll make sure... Ferber? Is it good to realize that you don't make insulting remarks to civilians who contribute to the state?

"In a tangible way, yes. A human being who contributes' properly 'to the state, to be precise,"

"Decent?"

"It is not a recognition that you are contributing because you are serving in the royal palace."

"... what does that mean?

"That's what I mean. I'm the Deputy Commander of the Kingsguard, right? The Kingsguard exists to protect His Majesty and the nation."

"... Ferber. Stop any further. Neither do I believe that all of the people in the King's Palace are innocent. But..."

"I'm not going to sit down, neither am I. I'm just saying I think so."

"Fine then."

Talking that far, Erica lifts her hips.

"In the meantime, just be careful about that. The kingdom of Flame is broken in two. Please don't make a scene."

"Accepted."

"Nice to meet you, huh? So, Coata, let's go home."

Talking that far, Erica pointed her gaze at Ferber again, as she noticed something.

"What is it?

"Hey, Ferber? You said you were gonna slap Iris in the re-education room, didn't you?

"I told you?

"Well, Iris anyway...... what about Niza? When the two of us come to apologize, forgive me and raise it - hi-ha!

Raise your voice like Erica was hooked in the back of her throat.

"- Forgive Niza, is it? Phew... Phew... Master Erica? For once, I'm also a parent of a person. And take my daughter who was adorable... um, take my daughter... hehe... hahahahahahahahaha!

"Oh, I'm sorry! It was my fault! Because it was bad!

"I won't forgive you, Niza! Always! Always! I'll make you this rust of a knife. Uh-huh!

"Ferber!

It's like, Conto.

Showing Erica in her sight shaking her hair and desperately pushing Ferber around the rampage, Kota exhaled in great depth.
