The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)

Episode 155: No Bad Guy, Monogatari

Suddenly - even though it is sudden at all times, it was not until two months after Lotte and Ann met that the wedding of King Flame Prince Georg Orenfeld Flame and Princess Larchia Angelica, which had been extended to an extension due to the sudden start of the war against Westria, took place. Likewise in time, the entry of the royal castle as the side chamber of Lieselotte, which had kept this one waiting, was announced by the king's palace.

Domestic public opinion naturally cracked.

A small skirmish with Westria, which is so frequent that it may be said that it is almost an annual festival poem, does not know when it will resume, even though it is over. I naturally know that this admission of Angelica is a sign of friendship with the Kingdom of Larchia and that, at the same time, it is King Flame's people who have a connotation of restraint against Westria. In that case, would the inclusion of Lieselotte inspire the Kingdom of Larchia? Such public opinion erupted, and it accounted for a large part of domestic public opinion. Naturally, the wind to Lieselotte was strong.

Angelica was constantly concerned about such a leaselotte. Her innate temperament - rather than the temperament of the 'kindness' of the Lalchian people that follows from the founding of the country - remains intact, Angelica continues to be in contact with Lieselotte. Liezelotte also honestly accepted Angelica's feelings like that. Inside the royal castle, we could only see the two of us colluding happily ever after. Eventually, around the addition of Georg's figure in that circle, public opinion in Flame gradually subsides as well. It also affected the absence of any protests from the Kingdom of Larchia. At times, the people living in the kingdom of Flame began to await the birth of their inheritance.

However, there will be ten years without being blessed with children's treasures.

It was a time of lots of dark news. The Predecessor collapsed and in the first war of the reigning Georg, the Kingdom of Flame defeated the Kingdom of Westria. The economy continues to fly at low altitudes and is not always easier to live with. The people wanted the news that life could be energized at all, and Lieselotte lived up to that expectation.

Lady Lieselotte, you are pregnant.

The people were ecstatic. Dear First Son of His Majesty the King. The joyful news, irrelevant as being a concubine, runs around the kingdom as well as under the castle, praying for the health of the children everyone is born with and for the future of the future kingdom of Flame - and at the same time Angelica's appreciation falls to the ground.

What is the main room doing when the side room has done its' job '?

Isn't it a child's unwanted body?

Didn't Larchia send a stone woman?

Are you trying to stop the blood of the Flame royal family?

Angelica continued to be a 'defect', beyond the emphasis of political marriage on the 'link' of blood. Malice calls for malice and further malice. Not to stand out, but so much so that within the royal castle there is a fruitful talk of estrangement.

With the 'headwinds' blowing inside the royal castle, Angelica nevertheless bordered Lieselotte as usual. Not jealous, not secluded, not envious. Each of them was delighted that Lieselotte's stomach would grow bigger, and that Lieselotte would suffer with it.

Liezelotte also treated Angelica as before. Angelica laughed off the guilt she had for having conceived earlier. Rieselotte believed in Angelica, and Rieselotte called Angelica first and foremost when the labor pain began. During the ten-hour birth, it was Angelica who kept holding Leezelotte's hand. Eventually, Lieselotte gives birth to a girl like a bead.

'Ugh... Wow! Or cute! Lieselotte! Hug! Let me hold you too!

Angelica loved Erica Orenfeld van Flame, the son of Lieselotte. I used to say I like kids. Sometimes gentle, sometimes harsh, with love, Angelica treated Erica. To the point where they said, 'It's like having two mothers,' there was a crowd of friendly families there.

Then a year or so later, Lotte became Prime Minister.

In the past, Lotte climbed to the top position in this country: the "Chancellor", who can only fly to the top Duke and Marquis class nobility, and worked more vigorously in government than ever before. Numerous policies that work to take care of oneself and even hate it are released early on. For the first time in its rightful work, the man of the king's palace turned his gaze in awe and respect. It was only at first that the nobles, who were obviously making fun of Lotte because of their 'civilian flair', gradually changed their attitude to many of the policies that had targeted Lotte - and how long they had come to call this about Lotte.

- Lotte Baumgarden is a 'king's house' and a 'nation', he said.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"... don't always struggle, Lotte"

The private room of Georg Orenfeld Flame, who reigned King of the Kingdom of Flame. Lotte, who received a summons order, lifts his head, which was lowered, as he takes the courtesy of his subordinate, who poked him on one knee.

"I'm going to sit down with you."

"What is unbearable? Thanks to you, this country is better. True loyalty and that's what I think. Keep encouraging me, Lotte."

"Yes. As His Majesty wills."

That's what I'll say and thank you, Lotte. I called him to my private room on purpose while I was busy. I heard a hesitant sigh from the head of Lotte waiting for the next word, not just to give her a compliment.

"... thinks I have to reward you with something"

"... reward, is it?

"I believe that many of your measures are well worth the reward. But I haven't returned anything to you for what you've done."

"Didn't you put me in the prime minister's position as a civilian? That's enough."

"It's just a simple proper material place. The" place "to make the most of your abilities was just the prime minister, nothing more or less."

"... thank you for your kind words"

"What is thankful. That's a better word for me. You'll lose your head."

"With all due respect, Your Grace. I will sit unnecessarily in the presence of the Head of State and the work of his ministers. It's okay if you just say," It was daunting. "

"I would, too, if it wasn't for you. But, Lotte. You are 'special'. He's my master."

That said, Georg laughs uncontrollably.

"... so I want to reward you. How about that, Lotte? You got anything you want?

Georg laughs that I can give you most of my stuff right now. To Georg like that, Lotte opened her mouth with a small smile back.

"Then, Your Majesty. May I sweeten your words and offer you what I want?

"Ooh, say it, say it! What? Is that a title? Is that money? Is that territory? I don't care about anything!

Happily to Georg like that, Little Lotte shook her head.

"No. I won't sit with that kind of thing. What I want is..."

It took a little courage to put it into words.

"- Your Majesty and... Angelica's, I will sit in 'Your Son'"

"-!"

To the words, Georg unexpectedly kicks down the throne and stands up and stares at Lotte. Without such a glance, Lotte continued her words.

"After your marriage, Your Majesty will not give Angelica a hard time in her bedroom. I will sit with your knowledge, Your Majesty. Lord Angelica and His Majesty's Son will sit on your son who will take over the blood of the Royal Flame and the Royal Larchia. I foolishly believe that the presence of his Son will underpin the next millennium of development of the Kingdom of Flame."

……

……

"... I mean it..."

……

"... are you serious, Lotte?

Tickles and chest pain.

"... I will sit with you, Your Majesty. If His Majesty is made to 'scorn' Master Angelica, there will be a crack between Flame and Larchia. In fact, there is a strong voice from the Kingdom of Larchia that wants the Son of Angelica."

Drinking up such chest pain, Lotte answers with her chest stretched.

……

"Your Majesty"

"... Ha"

On a raised chair, he lowers his hips deeply and deeply and exhales, and Georg puts his hand on his forehead and shakes his head twice, three times to show. Later, he raised his face like he was tired.

"... it would still be better if you told me to give it to you"

"With all due respect, Your Grace. Master Angelica will not sit in 'things'."

"... right. Sorry, Lotte. Silence. Forgive me."

"Yes."

Again, deeply and deeply bowing your head, Lotte. To its appearance, Georg stares at Lotte with bewildered eyes. but it also squeezed out the words for a moment, sighing again.

"... ok"

……

"... I will 'go' to Angelica's room as you wish."

"... Yes"

"... Actually, Lieselotte also told me"

"To Master Lieselotte, is it?

"..." The wind is getting stronger to Dear Angelica. Master Lotte is keeping it down now, but I don't know until what time that will last. Please, Your Grace. The true heir of the Flame royal family. "

……

"... people around me are too good"

Just a little bit, like a shudder - then, with a sad smile.

"... even His Majesty the King and Fu He, this is what they are all about. Let the beloved and the trusted minister, those two, be so attentive from now on. What a pity."

"I'm afraid, Your Majesty. It sits in His Majesty's imperial virtue. I don't feel sorry for you."

"... right"

……

……

"... disrespect"

"Hmm?"

"... if you are aware of the disrespect and dare"

"... what"

"His Majesty's 'Beloved' is not the only one -"

And Angelica, if you will.

"... ok. Stay back."

"... Yes"

Again, Lotte bowed her head deeply, leaving Georg's private room behind.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"... it's a good month, huh?

After Georg's private room, Lotte, who was looking at the moon in the courtyard within the royal castle without expecting to see it, looks back to the voice that hangs from behind, and takes his benefactory thanks.

"... Dear Lieselotte"

"Keep your head up, Master Lotte. You don't need to thank me like that, do you?

Nico and the woman who smiles and shows - to the words of Leezerotte, Lotte also untangles his minister.

"Now, if you'll excuse me"

"Yes, there is no need for the Prime Minister, Lord Lotte, to bow his head to me, who is in the side chamber"

Unexpectedly Lotte gets stuck with words when he says things that make him difficult to answer. but also for a moment, he coughed up with Cohon and Lotte went on to say.

"Lady Lieselotte, I'm afraid? Master Liezelotte will sit with the Mother of the Nation. Master Lieselotte's son, Erica is the number one successor to the throne -"

Leezerotte controls the talking lotte with her hands.

"What are you saying, Master Lotte? Your Majesty and Angelica will succeed to the throne, won't they?

……

"Under Your Majesty, did you take your feet?

"... Yes"

"So... has Your Majesty told you?

".................. Yes. I have likewise spoken to His Majesty."

Exhale small, Lotte continues her words.

"... do you resent me, Master Lieselotte?

"resent? No way"

"Really?"

"Yes."

……

……

"… of course"

"... Yes"

"Of course, I love Your Majesty. Your Majesty is Angelica's..."

Take a breath.

"- No, it is a fact that I regret the fact that I turn that smile on someone other than me. Madly jealous and insanely inferior, this person is going to be in a hurry."

……

"I want to cling to my feet and cry, 'Don't go'. I want a tight hug so I don't let that go. It's just me, so that you can prove it's your own thing, so that you can hold this body so strong, tight and tight that it falls apart!

Very, very small, seems to whisper.

"... yes, I think"

Now, as if screaming, be strong.

"... then"

"Yes?"

"So why? If you admire His Majesty so much, you don't have to send him under Master Angelica, do you? It would be nice if you put it in your monopoly. Why won't they?

The tone of Lotte as if to ask questions. Rieselotte opened her mouth to such a low voice, like trembling if she were a servant of the king's palace, still not showing herself moving.

"For the kingdom of Flame."

……

"The wedding of His Majesty and Dear Angelica is not just a marriage. There hasn't been a wedding in the last hundred years to welcome the princess of the Kingdom of Larchia."

"... right"

"His Majesty and the Son of Angelica are the rightful successors to this kingdom of Flame, and it is their successors who shall be the bridges between this country and the Kingdom of Larchia."

"... and for that... you think you can pull yourself off? To Master Angelica - are you sending salt to the 'enemy'?

"... Huh? So, enemies?

The words convey signs and voices that seem a little surprised. Lotte also turned her gaze towards Lieselotte for that reaction, which was somewhat different from what she expected.

"... hehe"

I saw Liezelotte turning a surprised face into a pleasant smile.

"... Did I say something strange?

"No...... yeah, right. Surely I must be the enemy that will take away the Lord Angelica and His Majesty. If you think about it, as Lotte said, what I'm doing is sending salt to the enemy."

"... That's what they say, isn't it?

"Yeah, I'm not..."

Say that, give me a nice flying smile.

"- I'm sure I love it. About Angelica."

"... love it, is it"

"Dear Angelica is a very sweet person, and a very cute one. I love that one more... and I want that one to be happy"

"... is that to receive His Majesty's favor?

……

"... Dear Leezelotte?

"I can't tell you from my mouth around there. Because I'm sure the happiness I feel and the happiness that Angelica feels is different. But only one. There is only one thing I can say… If I do not become your son with Your Majesty, I am sure Angelica will be unhappy. Don't you think so, Master Lotte?

"... right. I'm sure Angelica will be 'unhappy'."

"And it is also an unhappiness taken to the kingdom of Flame… a people living there, all unhappiness. Then I won't take that as a yes."

"... even in exchange for your own happiness?

"Because we have Erica. I have a pretty girl. Made amongst loved ones, sweetie. That will make you happy enough."

That's what I said, I'll laugh and show you. Lotte stared at Reese Lotte's smile as a pocan, but eventually she sighed small as she gave up.

"... will my mother strengthen you and sit in?

"What do you think? It's just... well, I guess I simply love this country"

……

"... but that would also be Master Lotte, wouldn't it?

"Is that me?

He said, "You know what I mean? Master Angelica."

"... what?

"'A country where everyone can live with laughter. I'm sure Lotte will make it happen'."

……

"If it's nice, I think so."

To the words of Reese Lotte, Lotte smirks her shoulders small.

"... right. As Master Lieselotte said, I'm sure I love this country, too. And I'm not lying about everyone wanting to create a funny country. I want to make a country where no one can grieve."

"... then our thoughts are with us. I'm not talking about resentment or not resentment."

That said, Leezelotte smiles. Lotte also smiled so that she could put that smile on her face.

"... right. I'm not gonna tell you I don't resent you."

"Yes, I am."

That's what I said, Leezelotte laughed small.

"And... aren't you the one who resents me, Master Lotte?

"... me, is it?

"If they say they send salt to 'enemies', isn't Master Lotte the one?

"... what are you talking about?

"Why can't His Majesty come under Angelica and why, Lotte desperately suppresses Angelica's reputation"

……

"And if you add your gaze at Master Angelica's Lotte, it's a result you'll know too well, don't you, Master Lotte?

The same, nico smile.

"... Dear Lieselotte"

"No matter, I'm not going to tell anyone. If you have noticed even within the royal castle...... is it about Master Carl?

……

"Oh, I'm not blaming you for anything. Anyway, she said it was about Angelica. It's just...... that's what I thought when I shared the same thoughts with Master Lotte. And... sorry, 'it's not just me' is what I need right now... well, a little. It would be just a lick of scratch."

……

……

"... I will return this favor."

"Please don't be distracted. 'Cause I don't think I sold you a favor."

"Now let me give it back to Erica."

"To Erica, is it?

"Someday...... right. I will do everything in my power to protect Erica so that she will not be in a bad position. Hang on to this lotte's name."

"... Really?"

"... yes"

"... ok. Thank you very much, Master Lotte. Please protect Erica."

To Lieselotte, who says so and bows his head, Lotte likewise bows his head. Only the full moon shining in the jade watched those two quietly.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

Two years after the birth of Erica Orenfeld van Flame, the Angelica Birth Report ran around Flame, the Kingdom of Larchia. As it was two years ago - no, more than that, the subjects of the Kingdom of Flame ecstatic about this good news. Everyone wished for a safe birth and eventually wished for the future of the kingdom of Flame to their birth daughter.

Elizabeth Orenfeld Flame.

The relationship between the girl, who was promised a glowing crown on its head, and Erica, the other girl who slipped off the throne, was amazingly good for everyone in the people. Elizabeth, her own sister - a sister who borders Liz and a sister who nostalgic well for such a sister. Once two tea parties, Leezelotte and Angelica, the time became a family reunion of five, including Georg and Erica, and Liz. From the edge, even in a distorted, strange family relationship, the Flame Royal Family had a happy time. It's like that time that lasts till hours and hours.

It was Angelica who broke such time.

'What are you talking about, Lieselotte! The next king is going to be your sister, Erica!

'No, Master Angelica. Even Lady Angelica can't give up this much! Your next king, Your Majesty, will be Master Liz!

"Why not! I don't think Erica looks pathetic! He's my oldest son!

"Dear Angelica, don't you think Master Liz looks pathetic! He's a kid in a regular room!

- Gone, Angelica. Let Erica inherit the throne.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"... no"

Georg, Liezelotte's persuasion is also vain, and it is only natural to say that a white feather arrow stood on Lotte in Angelica's persuasion to show her firm rejection. I showed Lotte, who was only a little heavily footed and still headed to Angelica's room, saying 'I don't like' the opening most Angelica. Sit down to sleep on the couch, with only your face facing Lotte. Clearly, it's pretty sloppy.

"... Dear Angelica"

"If I say no, I don't! Oh, my God, no! Why can't Erica be king! 'Cause, Erica, you're my oldest son, right? It's your sister!

"... Angelica and Lieselotte have different identities"

"... so?

"Dear Angelica, you are the royal family of the Kingdom of Larchia and the righteous queen of this kingdom of Flame."

"... so what?

"Erlai, it is not uncommon for a son in a proper chamber to have inheritance rights above those in a side chamber. That is a fact that takes precedence after birth. So..."

"It doesn't matter!

Blocking Lotte's words, Angelica stares at Lotte as she rises off the couch.

"Because of Reese's low status? Because I was the princess of Larchia? What does that have to do with anything? How precious is it to be royal and noble? What does that have to do with that sweet, cute, - poor girl!

"... I'll sit on that kind of thing"

"You know what? How much does that kid care about his surroundings when he says, 'I'm the kid in the side room'! You know how pathetic that child is for a real father and a real mother, Lotte! I want to give that kid a brilliant crown!

"... Dear Angelica"

"So! So I won't admit it! The next king of this Flame kingdom is not Liz! Erica - Erica Orenfeld van Flame should be made!

Angelica, breathing with her shoulders, turns her 'kick' gaze to Lotte. With such a gaze, Lotte disguises herself as calm and relative to Angelica.

"... I know"

How long have we been staring at each other like that?

"... I know, that's what I'm saying."

Sutong, and Angelica lower her hips to the chair.

"... that's what I'm trying to do. Liz, the son between me and His Majesty, has the blood of Flame and Larchia, both their royal families. I know how important it is."

"... I will sit down"

"But... still... Erica is pathetic. For her... I want to do something for her..."

Angelica's words as if squeezing them out. To the words, Lotte nodded loudly as well.

"Yes. That, I think so, too. It would be reasonable for His Majesty to give Erica her rightful title and territory."

"What is the proper title and territory... Laura? Or titanium or something?

"Laura, or Titanium, will sit at the heart of national politics. Though royal, it cannot be given lightly. Because the kingdom of Flame leans."

"... So where are you?

"-Terra. I thought Rondo de Terra was reasonable."

"Terra?"

Angelica with her fingers on her chin, as troubling as it is. After worrying so often, I shook my head like I'd given up.

"... I've never heard of it."

"It is located in a small cold village by the sea. It is a territory that has never prospered since history. It is an area where the sea breeze is strong and crops do not grow properly."

To Lotte's words, I was surprised for a moment.

"Erica in that place!? You're going to treat Erica like a disturber!

Eventually, Angelica yells at Lotte. To Angelica like that, Lotte showed her three fingers up.

"There are three reasons to give such a place to Erica. Can I ask you something?

"... what?

"One. In the first place, that territory will sit on a barren earth. I wonder if it is reasonable to give such a land with honor to the royal family, which cannot even be used for merit awards."

"So you're telling me you're going to disturb me!

"Two. Will there ever be a swarm of idiotic aristocrats like Mesmerizing, blinded by the desire for power, to Erica, who was given such a territory?

"... ah"

"Dear Erica, His Majesty's blood is flowing. Whatever you might say, this is a pure fact, and that 'blood' is also the 'power' that I want to take from the nobility of the Kingdom of Flame so much that my hands can get out of my throat. But why don't you give Terra to Erica? What do the nobles of the world think of the royalty that descended into a barren land that has never prospered since history?

"... banished from the royal family, do I look like a 'disturber'?

"That's right. I'm sure you'll look like a 'disturber'. And to the best of my knowledge, there is no spiritual nobleman to approach Erica until he takes the risk of buying the royal inquisition."

"... that you're free to live?

"There will also be many glitches in the royal castle. I thought it might be better than living a cramped life."

"... what's the third?

"Terra is a poor territory. And the expense of running a territory is better known than being poor."

"... what's going on?

"Even if Erica were asked to subscribe to a local bond, it would be easy for her to be prepared to accept it as the Kingdom of Flame."

……

"Even if we fail to manage our territory, we can cover it with our nostalgia. Originally, it's a direct jurisdiction, and we have a budget for it."

"... yes. Oh well..."

"Yes."

"... ok. And thank you. You've been thinking a lot."

"I'm not here for you, Angelica."

"Oh? For Erica?

"I take your place in the covenant with Master Lieselotte"

……

……

"... hey"

"Yes?"

"... hey, jealous"

……

"... well, fine. Bye, Lotte. Please speak to Your Majesty to give Erica the Rondo de Terra."

[]/(exp, adj-na) (1) (uk) (uk) (uk)

"And one more thing. This is an order from me."

Lotte smiles at the words.

"... order, would you like to sit in?

"... what, that face?

"No... Angelica's orders are largely unknown."

"And excuse me! That won't happen!

……

"... hey, what?

"No… if you put your hand on your chest and think about it"

"Muki! And, anyway! I can't protect this anymore. I'll keep watching!

"... ha"

"What, that disgusting face!

"... No, excuse me. Ok. Then I'll ask you. I ask you...... Dear Angelica? There are things you can and cannot do. I don't know how many orders you can give me."

"I know, that's not true. This is" what you can do "- yeah, only Lotte can do it!

"... I'm getting anxious"

"I'll listen to you in silence because it's good! There are two conditions for me to admit Liz's standing child! One is to give Erica territory and title and get her out of the royal castle! The other..."

That's what I said, cut the word.

"- To Erica, let her marry someone that Erica really loved"

To Angelica's words, Lotte is breathtaking.

"... make sure you can marry someone you really loved, not some kind of political marriage. For the convenience of my country, I will never be torn apart from the one I love."

"... ah"

"This is the only thing Lotte can do. Only to Lotte Baumgarden, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Flame"

Can you? And ask Angelica.

"... promise, let's do it"

Lotte snorts, powerful.

"-This, in the name of Lotte Baumgarden, I promise you,"

"... yeah, yeah"

"Let me show you Erica - no, not just Erica, but Liz and no one else, creating a 'strong' country that will never be an instrument of political marriage, like you have to."

"... yeah, yeah, yeah!

"Let's make it look like a country where no one will grieve, no one will feel hard, no one will cry. Let the colour, the glow and the joy of being united with your beloved be such a country that you will not deprive them of their natural rights. Everybody..."

- Everybody, let's make it a 'smile' country and show it to them.

"... yeah"

……

"... you can do it. Please, Lotte. No one... no one will grieve."

"... Yes"

"With someone you loved... really, with someone you loved, make it a laughable country"

"... yes, yes"

……

……

"... if"

……

"What if? If someone like you was there at that time... if someone would have told me that it was okay to choose a future where I could marry someone I loved, not a political marriage."

- My life could have been a little different, too.

"... it's bullshit"

"... Dear Angelica"

"... back off, Lotte Baumgarden"

"... Yes"

Courtesy, before Lotte's gaze with her head up.

……

It reflected Angelica's side, who turned to Soppo and wept in her eyes.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"..."

Two, Lotte opens the eyes she was meditating on in the voice someone calls from afar. And, at the same time, Lotte unexpectedly frowns at the sight of him jumping into view.

"Huh! Lotte!! You woke up! Doctor! Somebody, call a doctor! Lotte's awake! Come on! Don't call me that!!

I saw it there because it was the girl who promised to 'smile' - Liz's, crying face.
