The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)

Erica rebels his words in her head as she stares at Ed with a pocan face that erases the smile that was floating.

"-" Christina "- Her Royal Highness Princess Westria's," Happiness, "right?

I said, yes, this is what Ed did. What you want, what you want to accomplish, you did say that the purpose is Chris' happiness.

"... what are you talking about?"

A diagonal answer to every word you throw that you want to understand. Ed handed over the words pale to Erica, who leaned her neck with a question mark on her head.

"You may take it as it is denominated. All I want is for Dear Chris - to sit down to the happiness of Dear Christina. I want you to fulfill what she wished, what she wanted, what she thought, what she wanted to be. But that's why I'm here."

That's what Ed says. He turns his gaze towards the window. Once again Ed opened his mouth after keeping his constant silence to remember something.

"Westria is a highly patriarchal country. Women are 'tools' to have children and their status is significantly lower. Like this country, a country where women are not allowed to be queens."

"... what are you talking about?

"Shortly after Master Chris was born, Westria lost the war with the Kingdom of Flame. We decided to take hostages instead of ceding territory, but there were two Westerian princes at the time. Of course the inheritance is not going to take the second son hostage either. You understand, don't you?

Exhale a small sigh at Ed asking.

"As a 'spare' inheritance."

It is a story well understood by Erica, who was born of a concubine and first princess but Liz's 'spare'. Ed continued his words with one nod to Erica, whose pool of blood called 'Just Live' snorted bitterly at her own work.

"That's the thing. So Westria decided to offer Master Chris as a hostage. I did, but there was a problem here. It's Chris's gender."

"... because she was a woman, you mean no?

"In a tangible way. As its culture, Westria does not recognize 'women' hostages or anything else. Women don't have that much 'value'. It's just a trophy."

"... what can I say, me?

"Go ahead and do what you think. I'm the only one here."

"Yes. Then let me not hesitate to say it. You suck, Westria."

Ed nods and shows Erica like that without grinning.

"It would be so from the perspective of others. However, well, this is only a matter of degree of cultural difference. Let's get back to it. I don't recognize a woman as a hostage. I can't accept a hostage for a woman like Chris."

"I don't care, the Kingdom of Flame."

"You said, 'Take it to Westria,' right? Because there is also a lot of frowning old age in our country. Fortunately, since Chris was only three years old when he played flame as a hostage, and until then he had talked about building up a bond, Chris had been tapped into his qualities as a man by the age of three."

……

"Chris, who is three years old, will be heading to the Kingdom of Flame as a fine 'boy' as a hostage. When you're a child, the difference in gender doesn't affect your appearance very much."

"I can tell."

"Once we behave deludedly, we can only delude ourselves for a long time afterwards. Sometimes it's domestic. Later, as Erica knows, Chris continued to behave as a 'prince'."

……

"Master Chris has been a wise man since he was a young man. I continued to be behaved as a prince, taking into account everything about the balance of power between nations, my own standing and reputation within Westria. Don't you have the image of His Highness Chris laughing all the time?

"... there is. I, too, His Highness Chris, is laughing - wait. The... Could His Highness Chris cry in front of you..."

To such Erica's question, shut up and Ed shakes his neck left and right.

"No. His Royal Highness Chris is always laughing even before me. What can I say for myself, but I am the only good minister to His Highness Chris. I am proud to say that I am the only one who can be trusted from the bottom of my heart."

"... right"

Chris and Ed have been dating since Chris first came to the Kingdom of Flame as a 'hostage'. He came to another country, which was also a hostage, and lived with each other. There will be no disagreement when I say one subordinate.

"I used to say that." If you're sad, you can cry in front of me. "

"... What about His Royal Highness Chris?

"He shook his neck to the side with a smile on his face as usual." I don't know how sad I am, "he said. I didn't know what you were talking about at the time, but now I know how you feel about it. Because Her Royal Highness Chris... she didn't live Christina."

"Not living Christina?

"She was thorough," His Highness Cristian. "He was only an actor, playing the role required of him as Kristian"

No.

"- It's the only 'dogmatization'. It's a pathetic, miserable, and sad 'clown' of the country that was falsified for adult convenience and still had to live."

To Chris' words, Erica is breathtaking. After a moment of silence that could be taken forever, Erica sighed small.

"... I sympathize with His Highness Chris about his condition. That's what you call faking your gender...... but right? It's more like a tax to pay than being born as a royalty, isn't it? I don't really have that many royalties who are free to do anything...... I think"

"I understand. Dear Erica, you have also been chased by the royal castle. Oh, you don't need an annotation, no matter what the reality is. Because even Master Marie is. Political marriage is a tool if you ask me. I know that."

"... then"

"But it's a different story to be satisfied with."

To block Erica's words, Ed inherits them.

"His Highness Chris is not the one who knows the emotion of 'sadness', and he is never the one who is impatient. The hostages are either letting that happen, or they're cautious."

……

"When Chris was a young man like that, he said all I could for once. Do you remember, Master Erica? More than a decade ago, a war was rarely peacefully reconciled between Westria and Flame."

To Ed's words, Erica shook her head vertically just a little reminder. Even though it is usually a 'truce' close to a quarrel breakup, there was indeed a war in which a peace treaty was rarely concluded.

"I remember talking about it immediately... but there it is."

"Well, it's always a matter of breaking. Just to celebrate the harmony of that war, a big party would have been held at this Royal Castle of Larchia, right?

"... oh, there you are. A lot of people came not only from Westria, Flame, but also from the kingdoms of Larkia and Solvania, as well as the National Alliance of Lime Cities and the Kingdom of Lauren..."

"Our country's Marie, Her Royal Highness Princess Jessica of the Kingdom of Larchia, Her Royal Highness Princess Sonia of Solvania and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, as well as Erica, you were among them."

"... I miss you"

Dance party in the Great Hall of the Royal Castle. Delicious dishes, sparkling lighting, and little ladies dressed in dresses naturally hang themselves in the venue.

"At that time, His Highness Chris was leaked potpourri." Yeah. Everybody wear beautiful dresses. "" I want to try such a cute outfit, too. "Even Your Highness is only ten years old or there. Even if I had admiration for my own sister or for the look of Elizabeth's dress that was close to me, it's not a strange story otherwise. Oh, let's just correct one thing. As I said earlier, 'Exhaustion' is not such a big deal. It's just a wish - if it's a" princess "born into the Westerian royal family, it's such a tiny wish to the extent that it normally comes true."

……

"As usual. 'Oh, my God. Just kidding, Ed,' I saw Lady Chris laughing, and I lost my temper. With this little body, just living to be a bridge between Westria and Flame, this little girl, pathetic, pathetic, miserable, sad and..."

- And, dear.

"I really wanted to fulfill and raise the tiny 'wish' that such a girl showed me. But the girl wanted to give her a world where Christina could live as Christina."

……

"If she wants to wear a beautiful dress, then so be it. If she says she wants to read an interesting book, then so be it. If she wants a delicious cup of tea and a delicious treat, prepare it for her. Until now, let me give you my best spoil of the 'Chris', which continues to be trampled on as a bridge. Nothing hard, nothing sad, I just want to give her a life where she can do whatever she wants."

So.

"So I broke it. If Christina can't live as Christina, then the world must be wrong. Then such a wrong world is useless, futile, unnecessary and useless. I broke it because I didn't think that living as Christina would come true if Chris wasn't as happy as he is now."

"... I don't..."

"I had some impossibility and impotence. It is an unstable regime built on it, but it is still sufficient. At least, Master Chris can live as Master Christina. Because some of you will be happier than playing" Dodo "until you die."

"... you say it's okay to die?

"I won't say that. I'm just going to scratch my feet. But I didn't want to see Master Chris just getting old without doing anything. So it just moved."

Ed showing his expression until it's kind of clear and saying so. The figure looks kind of odd, and Erica asks overlapping.

"... what does that... do to you?

Moving for someone is hard work. Besides, it's a life-threatening behavior. I believe so and ask Erica, who should not be able to move without immeasurable benefits.

- I love her.

Pale.

"If she smiles at me, no matter where she turns everything in the world against her enemies and who she hates like a serpent scorpion, that's all I'm content with. If so, is that my" gain "?"

I even smile and a cold thing runs on Erica's back to Ed who says and shows me that. As usual - no, Erica pointed at Ed with a trembling hand, pointing his eyes at something more intelligent than usual.

"... you... what are you talking about?

This emotion opens Erica's mouth without understanding what the hell it is.

"Whatever you say,"

"... So what? You said His Highness Chris wanted to wear a beautiful dress, so you said this country was in... confusion about the Kingdom of Flame? Killed Lotte, took the lives of innocent East Street people, chased Liz off the throne... yes, you say? Just because she laughs... because she wants me to laugh... yeah, you say that?

No, I want you to deny it.

"... Hmm. I see, when they say that, they certainly do."

"Don't be silly!!

"Nothing, I'm not kidding, am I? That's fine if she's happy to be exact...... well, it's certainly not a mistake because the trigger is' I want to wear a beautiful dress'"

"No, that's crazy. Ugh!

"Really? So I ask you the other way around, Master Erica? What did I say, your thinker... Oh, was it Lord Coata? Assuming Lord Coata wants happiness, won't you make it happen?

"Oh, that's..."

"If you can, won't you act for Lord Cotta's happiness? Different?

"So, but! So... well, that would be weird to think about in common sense! That's why you want to embarrass innocent people, torment them, and make them feel better!

"I think it's good. I don't care if Chris is happy, to be exact."

"Oh, no..."

"Rather, I thought you'd be convinced even if you didn't understand. You take action for the happiness of Lord Coata. I take action for Chris' happiness. See? Isn't that the same behavior?"

Right? Erica speaks up reflexively to Ed asking.

"Oh, not the same! You can't be the same!

That's right.

It's not the same. It can't be the same.

"Really? Okay, that's fine."

"That's right... me and you, you're different!

To Erica's loud voice cry, Ed just frowns a little bit. What are you getting so emotional about, Erica twisting her neck to Ed?

"What you're saying, that's crazy!

Yet again, overlap the words of denial.

"... I understand now, Master Erica"

To Ed, who looks a little fed up, Erica turns her gaze at all the shooting.

"... you're wrong."

A person is an organism that thinks things through common sense. Think in "Common Sense," for the sake of your loved ones, annoying them just for that reason is never a praiseworthy thing.

"You don't have to understand."

"... yes. I don't understand. Because... you and I are not the same."

Not the same.

It can't be the same.

Because.

- Because maybe my 'love' is thinner.

……

"Common sense," "public body," "they don't want that either," deluded by such an exchange, the truth is.

"... it's crazy, you are"

- I was wondering if maybe 'love' for Ed's Chris is the pure, unmingled, true 'love'.

"... wrong"

Assuming that Hota turns everything in the world to his enemies but wants his own happiness, what would you think? If you acted for yourself and only for yourself, wouldn't you think I'd be a little happy? When you're loved, when you're really loved, don't you think so?

……

Erica doesn't want to provide happiness until she destroys the country, kills people, and destroys people's lives. If you do that, you can easily imagine yourself scolding Hota like a fiery fire. I can imagine - still, in some corner of my mind, I must be 'happy'.

- For my own sake, he'll do it this far.

You can't be unhappy. 'Cause Kota did. My own loved ones. He chose me by putting the world and himself on a scale. Somewhere in my heart, another Erica speaks out, wondering if I can't be happy with something like that.

"... I don't"

That's wrong. I don't have to be told that. But I'm absolutely delighted.

"... wrong... of"

And... I'm sure I can't do that much. "If you lose the Kingdom of Flame, Kota will be happy." But you can't do that.

"... apparently it's going to be a parallel line. Erica seems tired, and I will be available today. The earlier draft policy is a matter of decision, so please sign the ruling as soon as possible."

That's what I said, a toast. Ed walked to the door door without a sound and pointed his gaze at Erica as if he remembered something.

"Yes, yes. We are calling the Rote Chamber of Commerce to Royal Castle in ten days' time. Because His Royal Highness Chris wants a woman's jewelry. Will Erica be available at that time?" With Same Sex, Choose Accessories "seems to have long been the longing of His Highness Chris"

I don't even hear a response, the door closes with a pattan and a noise. Look at the door like that with your disgusting eyes.

"... here we go..."

Now I just wanted to see Kota's face asexually.
