The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)

Episode One Hundred and Two: Leap, Leap, Leap Again

"In the end... Marie found out everything from the beginning... shall we sit down?

"That's what I'm here for, Sonia."

A desperate little play between the Virgin, Her Majesty and the Merchant - well, also called a farce, but Ayano, Carlos I, and Maria exclaimed a little that "farce" was completely discovered. Maria took Sonia to visit the Lizard's Head Pavilion after receiving Marie's words: 'It's pathetic to be out of company' a little more.

"... there are many things I'd like to say... well, whatever."

I cut my gaze that I was pointing gracefully at Marie sipping tea after the meal, and Sonia gave me a jitty eye.

"... why is your father eating steak in tears?

I turned that gaze to Carlos I, who stuck to the third steak meat.

"Fuhi-nahahahahahahaha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha -"

"Please eat and then talk! Oh, no more! The table will be dirty!

'Embarrassing' emotions on Sonia's chest. I had a good year - specifically, Sonia politely wiped her desk with a prepped table wipe as she had her head on how an old man over fifty was flying a eating cuss like a child. By the way, this man, he looks like this and is His Majesty the King.

"In the first place! Why are you eating three steaks all by yourself! If you're about your father's age, wouldn't one be painful!

"Ngu...... phew! Sweet, Sonia! I'd be in trouble if I had this Carlos Solvania with fifty of them! There's no limit to my stomach! Boy's stomach!

"Isn't everything you say and do something like a boy!

"Hmm! And if you're rude! Where's my kid? Anytime you're a calm, settled Solvanian, you're talking about me!

"Shall we discuss exactly who did this with indiscretion, Father?

Show Sonia's words his gaze in the direction of the day after tomorrow, also stuck in words for Carlos I. Sonia lifted her lips in an attempt to recruit her without loosening her mouth.

"- Kusu. We're still good friends, the Solvanian royal family."

To Marie's laughter and words as if she had rolled the bell, she unloads her raised lips and her ascended blood at the same time. Even scratch the shame and there's nothing but shame in a parent-child fight on this. That's what I thought, and Sonia panicked and bowed her head.

"Also, I'm sorry, Master Marie!

"You have nothing to apologize for, Sonia. It enriches my own heart to show" My Friendly Parents and Children. "

Say so like it's nothing. Marie puts another bite on the cup of tea. While stroking my chest down in my heart to Marie, who shows no wind I cared otherwise.

"The... Dear Marie?

Sonia cut out another matter of concern.

"What is it?

"From the beginning, Master Marie had realized that a merchant named 'Carlo-Hayka' was King Carlos I of Solvania. Can't you make a mistake with this perception?

"Yeah, I've been aware of that since they called me at the Searches Chamber of Commerce."

"Now, the..."

Only a little lost. Eventually, Sonia opens its cherry blossom lips like she decided to.

"Am I, Marie? 'Congratulations on your engagement,' may I say?

Why did Marie imitate Carlos I as inviting him on a 'date'? During the Marriage vacation, there has to be some reason why the princess of Westria, who is inferior or inferior to a man even if she is not, should do more than make an understatement. I thought so, and Marie answered Sonia's query, wrapped her suspicions in oblate, by laughing lightly and showing them.

"Thank you, let me answer that. At least Sonia? You're not going to play 'Unfortunate Girl' as much as you think, are you?

"So... why?

"Will you need answers?

"If you can have it. For my spiritual stability and peace in the Orkena."

Sonia and Marie's gaze is intertwined. For a moment the silence, Marie opened her mouth and showed it as if she was just a little shuddered.

"It's something that Satanic Sonia would likely notice. His Majesty was there, and I was there. What do you think, why did you act like this?

"Because he is a hater and a genius."

"It's not something that makes you look very low, is it, Sonia? So... Your Majesty? Would you give your lovely little girl an 'answer'?

Three to six eyes of Sonia, Ayano and Maria pour on Carlos I in such Marie's words. He showed a slightly awkward bare gesture, and still grandly Carlos I opened his mouth.

"... you're as smart as ever, Marie is. I can't do it to Laurent's bong. To my second son, but to my wife..."

"Father!

"- What, Sonia? After you look scared. Do the joke, joke. If you do that, you're going to go to war with Homma? I can't do that to a boulder."

"Not so! Around my mouth! It has steak oil and it's a git git! Silly!"

Carlos I rushes to Sonia's point and wipes his mouth around his sleeve. Thanks to this, the area around my mouth became beautiful, but my cuffs became girth and I said, 'Ah! You can do it!' What are you talking about, this man, he seems cruel, but His Majesty the King?

"... Cohon. Oh, well, anyway! There's only one reason Marie invited me on a date. Do it?

"... one, is it?

"Seya."

That said, Carlos I turned his gaze around.

"That's - because I did it, man!

……

The temperature in the room dropped about two degrees. Carlos I is shot through by six eyes with disappointment, pity and ridicule in his anticipating eyes as to what answers pop up. For the last time only, this man, for once, is still a famous man.

"Oh, that's one of the reasons. His Majesty Carlos I is a very charming man."

Still don't forget to follow Marie. It is a rare and made royalty in the continent of Orkena.

"... this is it?

"Oh, Sonia? You can't say 'this' about your father, can you?

"May I introduce you to a good hospital, Master Marie?

Primarily, Sonia has yet to cross the line around her head.

"Don't be rude! I was just trying to soothe the place a little! Sonia is a joke to me. You want to do my daughter?

"Think of the time and the case!

"You're so stiff, Sonia is. Well, ae. Answer... imaginary burns because there's no way I know what you're talking about."

Still a fly? Marie answers Carlos I with her consent. He nodded one more time at the look of it, and Carlos I opened his mouth.

"Simply put, do it for 'Peace on the Continent of Orkena'?

"... Huh? Oh, peace on the continent of Orkena? You have a date with your father?

The words of Carlos I caught Sonia's voice of doubt. Still make sure there is no correction from Marie, and Carlos I goes on with the words.

"Everyone in Orkena knows that an alliance has been formed with Larchia, Lime, and two Terra countries in one territory. What if, within that alliance, my Kingdom of Solvania enters? In the alliance of the three nations of the Seven Orkenas? Terra is said to be a territory, a land ruled by the king and sister of the kingdom of Flame. It's essentially an alliance between the four nations of the continent of Orkena, isn't it? Really, what do you think would happen if we had such a big alliance?

"... it"

"As my Kingdom of Westria, and my daughter-in-law, the Kingdom of Laurento, it's no different than having a blade stuck down my throat. Especially as far as Westria is concerned, right? Because the Flame Kingdom is a 'hatred', a friendly quarrel."

Marie was the one who made me try to respond instead of Sonia with a mouth cage.

"But Master Marie! This alliance is solely made by Terra!

"'Now' would be. But that doesn't necessarily last forever in the future. Especially since Erica is the Queen's sister."

The friendliness between the two of you is famous, so carry on the words and dampen your mouth with tea.

"Even Westerners have voices that jeopardize this' alliance 'of Terra. If you take part in the Kingdom of Solvania on this, that will be the war. Before they do, they want to hit the Flame Kingdom."

"... no"

"I'm royal myself, too. Your Majesty, the King of the Kingdom of Solvania, is obliged to report to your country more than he has had the pleasure of seeing Terra. But..."

With that said, Marie turns her gaze to Carlos I like she's in trouble with Chillari.

"When you get a report like that, you're gonna have a problem with diplomatic relations. Westria feels suspicious, and we're suspicious because we're doing bad things. Even Lyme and Larchia float... well, not a thing."

"Yes, it is."

"I may have missed the deadline and grasped 'weakness'. Ho, but that 'weakness' could spark Orkena 'weakness' or. Marie, having trouble processing, offsets' weakness' with 'weakness', that is."

"Let's make it a charade in a place called 'I Worked Infidelity During a Marriage Vacation'. Why don't we put each other in a grip of 'weakness', Your Majesty?

With a smile on Marie's shoulder, Carlos I replied and continued to say whether he felt that was not enough.

"You had the option of keeping your mouth shut until the end, didn't you?

"If you could have misled me a little more cleverly, I would have had that option...... being fooled by a boulder in 'Arre' would treat me more like an idiot. I couldn't tolerate the boulder either."

"... so much?

"It was a terrible thing. But, well... Your Majesty hated the eggs, so let's make it a charade."

"Terrible story. I almost cried, me."

"So you asked for the steak His Majesty wanted, didn't you? To reword it."

"… surrender. You're scared of women, homma."

Jesus Christ, Marie shows her with a bitter smile on Carlos I, who shows her with a smile on her shoulder.

"And... I actually wanted to ask and put it down, because there is"

To the words and gaze that went on, Carlos I shook his right hand in a hilarious manner, as if it were just a little troubled.

"Don't worry, ae. I'll do it smarter if I intend to make an alliance. Number one, Marie? Do you think His Majesty the King, who came here to talk secretly, would do anything to imitate a merchant?

"Because you're a snake."

"Then believe me, no. King of Solvania, as the words of His Majesty Carlos I"

Silence falls on the lizard's head pavilion. The gaze of staring Carlos I and Marie swept through the universe and fell to the slated ground.

"... let's believe it"

After a few moments or even a silence that can be taken forever, Marie leaks her pompous words.

"What's going to happen in a different story?

"I don't mind. At present, I am convinced that His Majesty has come to see his daughter with patience."

"Oh, dear."

"Yes. Please give it back with something"

That's what Marie said and smiled small to show.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"This time… I really apologize for the inconvenience caused by the book"

Face-to-face with Marie, Sonia sits on a larger chair with her heart deeply bowed her head. Looking uncommonly, and watching with a smile, Marie raised her mouth just a little bit to show.

"I don't mind, Sonia. I enjoyed it too."

"I would appreciate it if you could say that..."

"If you think it's worse than that, you'll have trouble getting frightened like that. I didn't think I'd ever meet you in an exotic land. I could see you again. Come on, Sonia? Can I talk to you? Didn't you used to admire me as' Marie Sister 'too? You know, when you came to Westria and you were a" whore, "

"Yes, how many times are we talking, Dear Marie! I'm ten years old too..."

She was a frightened Sonia, but she blushes her cheeks on Marie's words and shakes her hands like a wasp in embarrassment. The look was hilarious, Marie made a laugh like the sound of a bell.

"It's been a long time since you and I wanted to talk, and we all wanted to go home, didn't we? I can't even talk to you as I am now. Come on, don't be so hard."

"... right. Yes, I understand."

Sonia's face also loosens to a warm smile like Marie's sun. Watch that look again with gentle eyes. Marie put her mouth on a cup of tea.

"And it's been a long time, Sonia. The last time I saw him..."

"Anne, your sister's wedding, right?"

"Oh, I was. Jessica, Liz, and Erica are here."

"Yeah. I feel like I've been following you around a little bit. That verse... that verse, too, right? Sorry for the inconvenience."

"Dear Jessica, Liz, and I didn't have a sister, so" Little Sonia "was so cute to follow me around desperately. But what do you mean... it's been three years?

"It's been four years. Anne, your sister had a baby too."

"Oh? So, Sonia, you're Auntie, right?

"... Dear Marie. Well, Anne, your sister's kid is adorable... but, uh, 'aunt' is a little..."

"Isn't that nice? Because I was an 'aunt' in your year. Besides, my nephew and niece, there were five of them together, right?

Sonia shows Marie how willing she is to surrender, just like Carlos I did earlier, by saying that with a lot of tea glamour. Marie laughed and showed it ridiculously again at the look of it.

"It was Dear Anne's marriage then, but now it's my own. Time flies fast."

That's what I said, smudging and staring out the window. Somehow the appearance seemed just a little dazzling, and Sonia was unknowingly frowning.

"... the... Dear Marie?

"Yes?"

"I sincerely congratulate you on your marriage. Sonia Solvania, we would like to express our sincere pleasure."

"For your pleasure, you look kind of subtle, don't you?

"Well, that's... that's..."

"... well, you don't know what you're trying to say. Certainly in Sonia's position, whether or not it's okay to say congratulations on your political marriage."

Sonia Solvania is the eleventh son of Carlos I, a son whose brilliance was loved by Carlos I. Alonso, Prince Wang, of course, but Carlos I also brought his youngest son around to socialize with the nations.

"Thank you for thinking of me, Sonia."

Conspiracy swirls, not to say, but the social world is still an 'adult world'. The child had a community of children, of whom Sonia, the youngest, was often adored by Marie and Liz, as well as by Jessica of the Kingdom of Larchia, who had done much better, especially for Marie, who was the closest of the year.

"... I'm just a kid, me"

Political marriage and other royal traditions. Besides, he marries a prince who can almost be the son of a second prince. It is good luck if it is meant to be, good luck if you are happy to raise your hands. If you don't think about Marie's "feelings,"

"Please don't look like that, Sonia. I don't mean to be pessimistic, do I?

"So Master Marie is satisfied," he said?

"Satisfaction, it's not accurate to say..."

Like I was in just a little trouble.

"It's just... I'm royal. Royal marriage presupposes the inherent benefits of the state to one another. It's a thing that takes place after considering friendship, dominance, expectations of economic assistance, and all that. Marriage between royalty gives birth to children and creates ties by 'blood'. And that blood tie may be the basis for prosperity for the millennium in Westria"

……

"There is no freedom, I'm not going to mourn. Because I was' wealthy 'instead of' free '. I don't recall being deprived of any of the things to wear, the things to eat, the houses to live in. That's what I think when I let you live a satisfying life. If you're referring to birds in cages, my cages were much wider and more blessed than people. You will never treat me roughly as Laurent, who is going to be my wife. Whatever you say, I'm a' friendly 'messenger."

"but... it"

"Regardless, it would be a 'no love' marriage. But I don't think it's instant misfortune not to have 'love'. If love is everything, don't you think it's impossible for two people who have fallen in love to break up?

Well paradoxical, but laugh and Marie goes on with the words.

"Overall, my marriage is good luck. There will also be a view of the tools of marriage, the tools to have children… why don't you change your mind?"

"How do you think, in?

"I wouldn't be so pessimistic if I thought I was going to have a child that would be a bridge between the two countries instead of going as a tool to have a child."

"... positive, right?"

'Cause even if you think backwards, the conclusion is the same.'

So, laugh again - and frown root like trouble.

- Well, it's not pre-construction.

"... Dear Marie"

"Sonia's right, even we want to make love. I just want to go with the guy I like, just the guy I fell in love with. Status, honor, identity, it doesn't matter, it's just that we both want to have a relationship that makes us laugh, fight sometimes, cry sometimes, and sometimes lean on each other... well, there is."

……

"No, but that's not a trick. Whether you like it or not, we're going to Laurent's wife. It doesn't matter what we do there. If so, we should take things a little more positively... well, I think it's funny."

"... there are no words. Dear Marie... you are strong."

"Weak, I'm not just going to have fun at least. You think Sonia's stronger in that sense?

"Me, is it?

"With a reputation?" The Snake Daughter Has Been Married To The Demon King. "

Zhu runs on Sonia's face. Seems like an interesting change in that look, but very gentle - and Marie stares jealously.

"... after Marie's story, I will be ashamed of my 'selfishness'"

"But it won't? If you have a chance, and you're in an environment where you take advantage of that chance, then don't have to shy away from anyone else. If we had a chance, we'd have scratched our feet desperately to take advantage of that chance."

No, he said.

"... Homma probably had a 'chance' she hadn't even noticed. Get the way you want to live, get the life you want, such a chance. I missed it, I guess it's my sown spring, this is"

On the look of my face, I feel lonely.

"- I want it, again. Just one more time, eh... 'Chance'."

I floated, for a moment.

"That's not what Sonia cares about. Rather, what kind of man is that 'demon king'? I'm a little interested, tell me, Sonia!

All I could see there was Marie laughing happily.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

Street lights are not a convenient thing on the continent of Orkena.

That's not why it's dark when the sun goes down. The liquor store opens its doors for people who take their feet to earn work worries and vitality for tomorrow, as well as the lights of the houses where the reunion with their families takes place.

"- Ah! Ahhh!"

But that's a limited story along the boulevard. If you put a bottle of alley in there, you won't rely on it, the darkness awaits with its mouth wide open with only enough moonlight to illuminate your feet.

"- Ha... ha..."

One boy was running through such a dark alley. From the bead-like sweat on his forehead, it is easy to imagine that this boy was running with all his might and a long distance.

"- Shit! Shit!"

It is an all-powerful walk in the dark night, but also a narrow alley. Speak of the king's capital… No, because it is a heavily populated king's capital.

"Uh-huh!

An alley with lots of obstacles, a night of poor vision, and full sickness walks. The answer to be derived is one, namely a fall.

- It's not over.

A voice coming from behind a boy who crashed grandly, involving crates and barrels that had been loaded. The boy, rushing back to that voice, laughed loudly with pleasure despite the moonlight backlight.

"Really, this is the end."

I saw a blunt, shining blade, gripped by my shaken right hand. As if in slow motion, the boy closed his eyes to the sole, which seemed to be slowly swinging down.

"- Yes, Eric's loss today. It's a hundred years early to beat this Lorna."

Pippun, and a blade that makes a pitiful noise pierces the boy - Eric's brain. The patterned part of that 'blade toy' of the pop-up ceremony hit Eric's head, and the dull sound of a dogon echoed in a dark alley.

"- Oh, stay! That knife, the blade's pulling in, so don't hit it with all your strength! The patterned part is metal, so it's normal, you idiot! Gorillas? - Excuse me, Rhona. I said too much. I said too much, so don't give me a real knife! Eyes! Eyes!

"What kind of word comes out of a gorilla when you catch a weak maiden, normal?

"It's impossible for a weak maiden to walk through all this darkness and not lose her breath! A monster... okay! Because it was my fault!

Eric heads down in a hurry to Rhona trying to wield a real knife again. After staring at the figure with jittery eyes, Lorna slowly lowered the swung knife.

"Bad outfit."

"Ugh. Take care of your life."

"Mmm...... well, eh. If you die in a place like this, you won't be able to do it."

"... don't shake the knife up once and for all with nothing like this."

"Hmm? Did you say something? Specifically, even today Lorna is beautiful and beautiful, and so on."

"I didn't say it! What, ears that are convenient for that self!

"Noise is limited to blocking. Don't you think the world is peaceful if you only ask what's convenient for you?

"... peace, that?

"If you hear bad things, you'll be less angry."

Rhona reaching out to Eric, who is falling. After only a little hesitation, Eric hand-paid the bread and the dust on his clothes as he stood up holding that hand.

"... hey"

"I know what you're trying to say. Every night, every night, out of the orphanage, it's the middle of the night. What's the point of this, chickens?

Eric shakes his neck vertically and spins his words in a way that blocks Lorna's words.

"Lorna, I told you, didn't I? 'If you follow us, I'll tell you who's wrong'. Look, it's time for you to tell me, okay? Who the hell am I supposed to avenge? What the hell am I supposed to do? I don't know what the hell I'm doing."

Jesse's - Princess Jessica's, can you take revenge?

……

……

"... Mm-hmm. You want to hear it?

"Naturally! What the hell am I doing this for? If you don't know what that means..."

"Yeah?

"Huh?"

"Are you sure about this? If you ask me, why can't I go back? Now I can do things that weren't there. We just worked out Eric's body, and we can do it. Here, but."

If I asked, I wouldn't be able to go back.

Like the Book of the Night, silence falls. All you hear is the sound of the door opening and the voice of a drunk, heard from the boulevard of a single table.

"... Fine."

Eric breaks such silence.

……

"I'm ready now. Tell me, Lorna. What kind of 'revenge' am I supposed to give to, who the hell?

Strong will, Eric's eyes. Staring into its eyes, Lorna opens her mouth.

"- There's only one person Eric will 'avenge'. It's..."

"What's with the parents?! I... I'm gonna be independent! Independently, confess to my beloved Iri! Marry me. - Iri, no!

"Hey, idiot! Too much to drink, man! It's midnight! Neighborhood annoyance, though!

It's heard from the front street, a drunken voice. You would have drank strongly, that drunk, breathing voice sounding all the way down to the two confronting alleys.

"- Huh? Hey... Rona?

"What is it, Eric? Did you notice when you asked them?

"Oh, no! Well, I'm not..."

It doesn't matter if it sounds like it. Who to do it with and what to do. Eric, taught those two things, makes me shiver one all the time, even though it's not even cold.

"... Seriously, Kai"

The voice was plundering.

"I'm serious. I mean it, I mean it, I mean it. If you harm" the other way, "you will have your revenge. Right?"

"It's..."

Sure. If Eric 'succeeds', Eric's revenge will be. It will, but.

"... into war, will it?

"Bye. It's gonna be a war. Besides, it's not a 'minuti' war like the other day. The Great War of Manmon, involving all of Orkena."

……

"Did you notice?

Just a little, it seems like fun.

Eric shakes his neck small and vertical to Lorna's words as if they were teasing.

"... oh. Honestly, I'm freaking out. I can't help being scared and scared."

"Well. Hopefully..."

"But"

"- Hmm?"

"... but I will. So... if it's going to be my sister Jesse's condolences"

……

……

"... it's a bad way to live, Eric."

"Say it. It's better than living like you're dead."

"Well. So, so, eh. Come on, Eric.

Petin, and slap your own cheeks with your little hands.

"- Time to go home, Eric. If you don't go home, the dean will worry."

From Westerian, to Solvanian. While wrapping her tongue around Lorna with her heart that changed not only the language, but also the expression and the surrounding atmosphere.

"Hey, Lorna?

"Hmm? What, Eric? What's wrong with you?

"Why... are you guys trying to do this?

Eric hits the question. Smile tearfully at Eric like that.

"Looking forward to a chance, slightly"

"Want a chance? By who?"

To Eric twisting his neck.

"- The princess at our place, huh?

That's what Lorna said, meditating on one eye and winking to show.
