The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)

"... hmm"

Rondo de Terra Commercial District. The paperwork at hand with a strange look in the sea breeze coming in through an open window in a room upstairs of that store facing the sea - Carlos I, staring at a letter from Sonia, pointed his gaze from the paperwork to the door with the sound of a knock called Concon.

It's open.

"Uh... Your Majesty... there wasn't, Hayka? I haven't been in a cage in my room for a long time, but I was wondering what kind of drink..."

After opening the door and thanking Maria, the woman who reluctantly peeked at her face, 'Come on,' Carlos I buries that body behind a chair that was sitting on her back as she slouched. Surprised by Carlos I like that, Maria put the tea on silver on the table for a toast, and left the room behind.

"... I don't know?

Later, no. With silver in his hands and his mouth hidden, Carlos I gave Maria the paperwork at hand, one nod as good at 'oh' to Maria, who sends only her gaze to Flirting and Carlos I's paperwork at hand.

"Mmm."

"No, what's 'n'... uh... can I see it?

"I say so." Look and go home! ♪ To the habit I saw with the look on my face ♪

"Uh... uh hehe. No, because, Your Majesty... not Hayka"

"In Your Majesty. Yes. We're alone here."

"I don't know how to say it. Well anyway...... 'Your Majesty' if you were there. Is that a letter from Sonia? I wonder what Erica and Emily are doing with the coata... don't you care?"

"What about Sonia and the raccoon?

"Sonia and the Violent Virgin met the other day, well, I guess."

"... she's my daughter. Oh, don't you think the sign's false?

"I know, that's about it. Well, I think it's false on the sign for Master Sonia, too?

What are you talking about? Carlos I sighs without a voice at Maria's words just saying.

"... you have an ae personality, Given?

Besides, to Carlos I, who says and shows, 'When I was just here, I was in a habit of doing frightened out attitudes,' now Maria shows me in a sigh.

"Isn't it His Majesty's pleasure? The great people of the country, or whatever they say, will get used to sleeping with you every day, right? Ah! Your Majesty, your Majesty is on bath cleaning duty today, thank you very much."

"What? Would you like my order now? I think I did it yesterday.

"Yesterday's meal duty, did you take his place? Instead of me."

"Oh... you did it. Ugh! Hopefully, I'll be the shiny one!

If Maria is also Maria, Carlos I is also Carlos I. It doesn't matter what you think. Maria drops her gaze on the letter at hand after watching Carlos I with her jitty eyes who wrestles her arms. Maria sees the contents of the letter as she remembers a strange emotion that the royal family is different in a letter so neat that she doesn't think it was written by a very ten-year-old girl.

"-!? hey, sire!? What is this?

Raise your voice up. I twisted my neck to show Maria like that, pounding my hand and showing her as if I just remembered what it was all about.

"Hmm? Oh, let it go? Lotte Baumgarden, the prime minister of the kingdom of Flame, has passed away. As a token of my condolences to the Kingdom of Solvania, I have delegated full powers to Sonia."

Say so like it's nothing and mouth the cup of tea you left behind. Waiting for the warm tea to swallow, Maria hangs words on Carlos I.

"Uh... this letter says' assassination '... is that... is that a homma?

"Well, Sonia says so. I don't know what to do."

That's what I said, another sip of tea, and Carlos I put the cup in my hand on the table. Maria, who has even felt somewhat ashamed of herself for her unusual attitude, even though the prime minister of one country was assassinated, scratched her cheeks small and then took over the words.

"... uh, Your Majesty?

"Hmm? Doesn't he?

"Um... tea, did you do that?

"See? Tea?

"No, because you look so sinister... tea, I don't know if you did it."

……

"... what is it, Your Majesty? Don't be silly, Zito."

"No... even though the prime minister of a country has been assassinated, he says he cares more about the taste of tea... Maria, surprisingly, he's a big man."

"Nah! Well, don't, Your Majesty! To the habit of looking normal myself!

It is a terrible betrayal. To Maria, who says and shows that with only her eyes, Carlos I waved gently with a bitter smile.

"Oh, that's a joke, but... you looked sinister?" I don't know. "

"... hmm. Really?"

"Wow, kanji wow. If I love you any more, I won't punish you."

"Whose fault the hell...... oh well, it's a fly. So, you don't know? You mean you don't know who did it?

"... uh... well, let it go. I don't even know who did it."

"The killer 'also'?

"Seya. I don't even know who did it... more than that? I don't know why."

"'Reason'?

"Why you want to kill Lotte Baumgarden"

That said, Carlos I flies his gaze at the view from the window of the room. With such a gaze on Carlos I, Maria reluctantly spoke.

"Uh... Your Majesty? I don't know why... you're the prime minister of Flame, right? The powerful, the candles, they say... if you get laid... yes..."

"There is a Solvanian branch of the Foreign Office of the King Flame in Solvania"

"... Huh?

"I don't care if you say so yourself, but Solvania is the most prosperous nation in the continent of Orkena. Naturally, if any country were to send people to Solvania, they would send good people flying by. Oh, yeah? Depending on the trends in Solvania, it also affects my country, so it's wrong or wrong to focus on each and every step of the way."

It may not be a very good way to put it, but the so-called 'ambassador' also has a thing called character. Solvania is one of the largest countries in Orkena, and the man who heads the diplomatic corps sent there cannot be matched with any other country without its corresponding status and knowledge.

"Hope so, though? The director of Flame's division always says." We will reply to the case after inquiring with our home country. "

……

"A little more mattomo with the kid? Really, I didn't think you were sending a human on a chopstick or a stick. The way you stand in the social world is in the hall, the conversation, the spinning of your head."

"Yeah... after all, it's a tumor over your eyes or a chicken? His Excellency the Prime Minister."

"No, that's human behavior I can't take responsibility for myself. The head of the Solvania division. So? If you do anything less than that, guess what? If I assassinate Lotte, I'll strangle myself."

"... then... is it another country? Lotte Baumgarden is that Lotte Baumgarden? I've been prime minister in the Kingdom of Flame for decades now..."

"Seya. The shadow dong of the kingdom of Flame. My head is so pretty, and I have a lot of experience. My parents are rich and almost invincible."

"If I let you do it, wouldn't there be lines like that? Westria and Flame are friends of the dog monkeys."

"Look at Westria. Marie's wedding's holding off, right? If I did, I wouldn't go to war from here."

"... because my daughter is cute?

"Because it costs money. War, marriage. Marie's marriage is like marrying a second prince, but it's like sending her into virtual inheritance. We can't have a conversation."

"That's a greedy story by the time you get around and clear, huh?

"There's no such thing as a royal marriage. It's stranger not to get involved in the damage. Well, that's why we exclude Westria. If I set you up anyway, I'd be better off after my marriage with Laurent. Yeah. Laurent, form an alliance. The same applies to other countries. The Kingdom of Larchia and Lyme have just ended the war. I can't afford a new war right now. Except for that, the Prime Minister of Larchia is a man of great affection. Don't do anything to avenge your gratitude."

"Is Lime too?

"The other day the war just ended. So? If Lyme moves as a nation, he won't be able to execute the assassination so soon. Dumb gathering, over there."

"What asshole... you want, Parsena?

"There's no point in killing Lotte over there. Instead, if Lotte dies and the continent gets rough, we'll be in trouble. There are fewer tourists."

"Ho..."

Talk that far, Maria mouthcages. It also opened its mouth for a moment as if it had decided to do so.

"Want... 'us'?

None.

Hit back, no time. Continued, Carlos I opened his mouth.

"Because I don't think 'I want' war. Peace is best now. Any country? If I didn't want to, there wouldn't be a war."

Maria glanced over her shoulder in silence at Carlos I's remarks, which, depending on what she heard, could not have been taken as arrogant shores, that another country could not have waged war on her country.

"Thats a thankful story burn...... is it 'now'"

"Don't do war if you have to? There's no other way, Maria, for you people."

"Peace is the best thing about merchants."

"What do you say to the habit of making money in war?"

Maria raises her hands to give in to Carlos I, who laughs at Karakara.

"... hey, there's only one more reason. Yan"

"One?"

"Lotte, this is the Chancellor of the Kingdom of Flame. Do it? If you were that great, you'd be buying grudges, right?

"Hate me?

"Yes."

……

"Sire?"

"Uh... no, I figured Maria would agree?

"Your Majesty, too?

"I don't think it was organized in some country, or in Flame. Suddenly... I didn't think much about it. I thought I'd commit it."

……

"... let it go. If you do that, ae. Flame's guards are brilliant, so be sure to do something about the killer. The nations sent a mission to offer their condolences, and after a little confusion, a new prime minister was born in the Kingdom of Flame, honey,"

Yeah, I nodded twice like I was convinced, and Carlos I shows a sunny face floating.

"Come on, Maria. I was just wondering, but when I talked to you, my thoughts got caught up."

"Uh... would you be honored if I could help you?

"Who are you asking? Say it! Ho, I want to take a bath instead of thanking you, make it shiny! Even in the royal castle, it's called" Carlos the Bath Cleaner "from me! When you expect it!

"I'm surprised His Majesty the King of one country is cleaning the bath before I expect it. You're kidding, right?

"... do it tough, us"

Carlos I after the room with that said and my shoulders dropped. I stared at that sad back with my eyes like I could even look at a pathetic thing, and Maria tried to follow it.

"... ah. This letter."

After dropping her eyes on the letter at hand and often troubled, Maria carefully places it on Carlos I's desk and leaves the room behind when she folds and folds the letter. A letter on the desk in that room, where the LORD was gone, swayed only a little with the wind that came in through the open window.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"... n"

Hota hugged me, how long has it been? To the feeling of being slapped twice in the back with a pom, Kota unties Erica's restraint she was holding. Kouta smiled as if she was relieved only slightly by her slightly wet eyes and Erica with a smelly grin, thus keeping her distance from me to a certain point.

"Are you all right?

"Yeah, I'm fine now. And... well, thanks."

I laugh bitterly at Erica for the way she laughs at what time she doesn't smell too good. As he stroked his pompous head, Kota lowered his hips to the empty chair.

"I can't really say much about people, either, but I think Erica's holding them a little too much, right? I was wondering if it would be easier if I could pull my shoulder out."

"I don't want Coata to tell me... but well, yeah. That, I'll do good. But you know what? I was just wondering if I could do something about it this time."

"Well, I understand."

"If it didn't work out like Liz to me, I'm sure the affairs of the Flame kingdom would have lagged behind, and you think that would be troublesome. That's why I've been a little patient this time."

That said, as if he was just a little obstinate - more than that, Erica looked at Kota like she was joking and laughing.

"... Coata's gonna be nice to me, so I cried. Silly."

Keep the word, keep it up. Showing Erica with such shoulders, Kota took the words.

"I didn't do that. But... well, that's right. As it was, Erica was about to 'break it'."

"I know. Just kidding."

"I know that too."

Staring at each other, and erupting from either side. Something was wrong with the trick, and Erica sighed heavily after wiping her eyes tears.

"Ha-ha-ha. I didn't think there'd be such a laughing day about Lotte."

"Right. 'Cause I thought you were like in the kingdom of Flame."

"Well, for better or worse, Lotte's influence is so strong."

He clasped his shoulder again, and Erica also dropped her eyes on the paperwork in hand as she lowered her hips to the chair and leaned over the paperwork to let it slide towards Coata.

"Mind if I look?

"I'd rather watch, and if I could get some advice, it would help."

After glancing at the line of numbers in the documents, Hota twists one neck to show it.

"... What's this?

"It's a draft budget for a fire on East Street. I made it and saw it... how's it going?

Put the twisted neck back on Erica's voice like asking and drop her gaze to the type. I stopped the gaze movement in a place where Kota was following the numbers sequentially from the top.

"… defer the underwriting of Terra's local bonds?

"Yes."

"I remember this regional bond was a regional bond at a shipbuilding pageant...... can I?

"Of course, I don't know what's going to happen because of Liz's ruling, and if it's going to happen, I'd like you to take on Terra's local bonds. But... there was no other 'Larchia' in the fire. It's better to recover quickly, in many ways."

Larchia, the capital of King Flame, and Terra, a regional territory. When it comes to which budget to prioritize, you will understand that it is definitely the King's Capital. In the event of a landslide, the theory goes hand in hand with restoring the Yamanote line as a priority if it is a Yamanote line and a local line. In particular, it is doubtful whether there are places where landslides occur on the Yamanote line.

Even without it, Larchia is the capital of a thousand years from the days of the Flame Empire, the predecessor of the Kingdom of Flame. Although commerce gives way to Solvania's king capital, Solvania, and tourism to Parsena, it nevertheless has its character and status as the 'capital of the continent of Orkena'. If Larchia is not beautiful as Larchia, then there are places where it does not show against other countries.

"... I see"

"... I'm a royal twig... I mean, if I wasn't Liz's sister, I wouldn't be able to put together a budget proposal like this and say, 'You said you'd take it once, so be sure to take it'"

Take it to Erica. Terra is a territory to protect, but Larchia is also the home where she was born and raised. It is also a troubling place inside.

"... right. In addition, Erica is now in the position of regent."

"It's just the name. Anyway, if His Royal Highness the Regent has put up with himself, other lords will not... I hope so ~"

Erica lowers her eyebrow root and shows her face like she's in trouble. On such a kind of pitiful Erica's expression, Haota also accidentally erupted, showing her head gently bowed to Erica staring at such Haota with jittery eyes.

"Excuse me. What a lovely look."

"Hmm. I'm in real trouble!

"No, I'm really sorry. You know... well, I'm also wondering if I can just be honest. If you don't try, you won't know."

"Yes, but..."

"If you're on Terra's ship... well, we'll have to ask the Becker Trade Chamber. 'Could you please pay me in instalments?'. The repayment schedule is crazy, but, well, I suppose it's somewhat acceptable, right?

……

"Is that it, Mr. Erica? What's wrong, with your subtle face?

"No... if I asked Becker to do that, he'd say, 'Oh, Master Erica? Is it not only the breasts that are poor, but also the nostalgia?' They're going to say..."

"That's not true."

No, I can't say enough. A glimmer of sweat flowed from Kota's forehead.

"Yeah... well, if it's hard to say, I'll tell you from me?

"That's why I said, 'Okay. But I swallow your demands. Naturally, you can swallow this request, right? So what time shall we have our wedding with Emily, our day off?' They're gonna say something like that."

……

Kota, this time there is no word. It's incredibly easy to imagine, and Kota's face is also distorted.

"... Shall I ask Emily?

"... right. Let's ask Emily."

Erica thinks Emily won't say such impotence to the boulder - well, she might still demand one or so of the dates, but that's about it, where she split it it with 'necessary expenses' and smiled even more, but very inexpensively.

"- Dear Erica!

Indoors, Emily jumped in with a bright blue face. Give me a look of surprise at the rush of not even knocking, the usual Emily and the others.

"There's an armed group breaking into the castle! Quick... Quick, don't run away!

Erica couldn't understand what Emily was saying.
