The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)

Episode 178: Fortunately, O Solvania, marry me.

Searches Chamber of Commerce, Rondo de Terra branch. Currently, King Carlos I of the Kingdom of Solvania was staring at the letter sent to him by his beloved daughter so far as the hole opened, with a cheek wand on the desk in that room, which was too primitive for His Majesty the King to wake up, on the second floor of the building, which had been changed with a sign on the temporary subdivision of the Foreign Office of the Kingdom of Solvania.

"... hmm"

"Go. There's tea... Your Majesty?

As Carlos I leaks his exclamation breath, Maria Searches, the original lord of this room, faces as she cleverly opens the door, which was half-opened, with her feet. A little bit of Carlos I frowned at Maria's tricks like that.

"... you know, Maria? Yeah, but you, girl, don't you? Wonder if you'd like to open the door with your feet on a boulder?

"Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh. I don't think so. If you do, I need a little help. Do you?

Maria says that while holding a tray with cups and pots and tea treats on it. One sigh of sigh at the figure, Carlos I walked up to Maria when he rose from the desk and received a tray in his hand.

"Oh, dear."

Maria, it's about you who makes His Majesty the king imitate his service.

"You can use what you're standing on, even Your Majesty, you say?

"I told you, I was sitting in the first place..."

Once again sighing heavily at Maria, who bellows like a mascot character in a confection and floats the pose of 'Heppe', Carlos I placed the tray on the desk and instead offered Maria the letter she had been reading until earlier.

"What, this?

"A letter from Sonia or. Read it?"

"... eh?

"I promised you when I took it in. Yan. They're gonna talk about politics, but otherwise, they're gonna disclose it."

Look, and Maria grabs all the letters handed to her with a slightly trembling hand. Keep your gaze down on the text - and Carlos I smiled and showed satisfaction that his eyes were wide open.

"... to, Your Majesty... this..."

"Apparently, it's settled, we're here. It looks like Sonia shot Corta. No, isn't" Demon King "your stepson or something? I, the Great Demon King Yan."

Carlos I smile and show in a fun way. Maria raised her voice to that appearance.

"Sire!"

"Hmm? What, Maria? Bless me. Hmm?

"Huh! Shh, blessings are... ho, ho, ho!

I've known Erica, Emili, and Kota longer than Ayano, than Sion, and Maria longer than Sonia at the time. Although it may be inferior to the three mentioned later in terms of density - Maria still thinks of Erica, Emily, and Kota as friends in Maria to the point of lending her important "castle" to the state almost unconditionally.

"... there is no such thing..."

Because I think, or know, I know exactly how much Erica and Emili admire Hirota. I'm sure no one will be convinced of the 'settlement' in this way.

"... Erica, you're still in the royal castle, aren't you? If I did, wouldn't you still know about the marriage?

"Let it go. Philip, did it say come here? So I officially sign up for marriage... and I'll give you a ceremony at Terra, and I'll take out Her Majesty Erica. Do the dimensions all the time."

……

"Don't be a bad idea?

"Let me... if I do this way, no one will be happy. Stop. Even for Your Majesty...... eh? Master Sonia, I'm sure you're convinced.

Maria's gaze. While clapping his shoulders at that gaze, Carlos I vomited his words.

"Let it go. I don't think Sonia's convinced, do you? Yeah, but what? That's what 'royalty' is all about in the first place. I know where Sonia is. Do it. I can't marry happily ever after."

"But Your Majesty is happily married, isn't he?"

Alexia-Sorbania, Queen of Solvania, and Carlos I are good friends, and that is also a well-known fact of the people. I scratched my head poly just to say that Maria's words poked me in the pain, and Carlos I opened his mouth sighing.

"I'm in trouble when they say that... ho, but Sonia, there's no reason to hate Coata for doing it. Ya? Which one of you is happier?

"I think you'd rather be in love, that's for sure"

"Let him? If I did, would I be happy in Sonia? Accompanying a man in love makes a woman happy?

"... well... that would be..."

But that's just the result story. No matter how much of a man you fall in love with, you don't turn around on your own, and there's no point in it if you're just given it - and Sonia isn't the woman who makes it 'okay'.

"... I know what Maria's trying to say."

Show Maria again, sighing loudly and smiling bitterly.

"I don't like losing. I'm sure there are some things I'm not comfortable with... but Sonia brought these ideas from herself. Moreover, it is also an excellent opportunity to take it to the Kingdom of Solvania. You know what, Maria? I love Coata. I can get a coat like that. Solvania could make a big leap, you know?

……

"Maria?"

"... hey, how about as a father? As a father, do you wish 'daughter' happiness?

"... and what makes you happy... and I'm from the king. As a father, I can't cut it all in a pure sense... but as a 'parent' I can say. Sonia's idea is the best way to get to the 'Solvanian Royal Family', right?

"... as the Solvanian royal family, is it?

"It's a big premise not just for humans, but for equinoxes to leave their offspring behind. Leaving blood, even in the way I say it... I don't think I'm going to leave the blood of the" Solvanian family "for future generations. Maria, is that what you did?

"... well... I guess so"

"Saya... uh..."

To put it just a little bit, Carlos I flies his gaze into the hollow. Maria had such a surprising look on Carlos I's face, but felt something serious in her returned gaze and correct her residence.

"... Your Majesty?

"... well, be Maria, eh? Prince of our king, are you ready?

"Is this His Highness Alonso?

"Seya. Alonso... well, I don't know. I'll do a vessel that'll never be a bad monarch, but a man to precisely sixty points or so. If I did it in the time of defense, yeah. I don't think you can do anything."

"... how do I answer that correctly? I feel disrespectful about all the answers?

"Answer me, I'm a jerk. Anyway, Alonso's not a bad monarch or anything. If the continent of Orkena is ordinary, there is no dispute or anything, if we do it in normal times, we will do it without great difficulty, without connection, a monarch who can make the people happy. Why don't you do" Normal Time "? When it comes to" turmoil, "I think it's tough to get through the boulders if you do his vessels."

"... that"

Maria opens her mouth to see what she wants to say. Control it with your eyes alone, and Carlos I inherited the word.

"At a time when the kingdom of Flame will perish, which lasted a thousand years, even though the sign was changed, now. If we do Alonso's vessel, we can't get through it."

"... do not perish..."

"It's like doomed."

"- Yes."

"Well, don't worry, it's a fly. You merchants can eat anywhere. Come on, there's nothing much wrong with losing a country all over Solvania. Yeah, but what? We" royals "are left alive when the country is gone. The Solvanians will perish because they will not be sorry for their ancestors on the boulder."

Talking that far, Carlos I moistens his dry throat with tea. Maria opened her mouth after seeing the tea swallowed, making sure it fell to her stomach.

"... Your Majesty... thinks the Kingdom of Solvania will perish?

"I don't think we're going to perish easily. No matter what you say, we have a long way to go. I don't think it's a good idea to have a system and a stone, but I think it's a good enough pass."

……

"But even in a time like this when you don't know what's going to happen. Hey, I want a trusted ally. Capable, loyal, whatever, ae, but I want such an 'ally' anyway"

"... ally, is it?

"I don't think Coata is the kind of person who betrays his allies. If you don't, you won't miss that raccoon."

"... that's terrible rhetoric. Nostalgia."

"I miss raccoons, and I don't like them."

A nigga laughs at Maria, who turns her eyes to Jito.

"... even if the Solvanian 'kingdom' is doomed, the blood of the Solvanian 'house' will remain, I want that way. This Sonia marriage will fully satisfy that condition. There's no reason to disagree."

Carlos I continues his words as he glances by the edge of the cup after drinking.

"Not only in terms of pure competence, but the people around you are better equipped with Coata? Her Majesty Erica is the active queen of Flame, and Ayano is the Virgin of Larchia. There is also Theon Baumgarden, chief researcher at the Academy and blood relative of Lotte. According to what I've heard, Hotel Larchia and I are also very kind... Sonia, there is no reason for excellence."

"... some maids are good cooks."

"Are you talking about Emily Notesfield? What are you talking about? You know, do the irregular talent. The real sister of the president of the Becker Chamber of Trade, the daughter of the Notesfield family, who made a name for herself in maritime trade?

"... you have that kind of rating"

"Rather, your ratings are too subtle. You treat that Becker like he's scared... well, if you do it, Erica, you might be forgiven... but normally, you use it to be scared?

"Ah, haha..."

Emili is the real sister of the president of the prestigious chamber of commerce, the righteous Flame nobleman. To that fact, Maria sweats a tart. "Emily, I'm hungry. I've got cookies." "Yes, Maria," is not an impossible story if you think about it carefully. Well, Emily's bad about this. It is too disturbing, although it is appreciated.

"There's nothing wrong with that, either, because we're good friends. Talk, put it back? We've got talented people here. What about his abilities and the power attached to the buck? Don't leave me with another 'country' like this."

I will continue to say that there are no such people around Alonso and Kota. Maria opened her eyes wide to such Carlos I words.

"... 'Country', is it?

"I don't know what's going to happen to the country, but there's enough people for one force. Territorial or 'Coco'. Independence isn't funny, is it? In the first place, the people of Orkena are in a state of independence. I don't need to be compelled to take over the kingdom."

"... right"

"Let me tell you something, Terra is an emerging force. And we can pump the blood of the Solvanian family into such a 'force'. There is no blame from anywhere, rather in a way that would even be appreciated."

……

"No matter which one survives, ae. Even if the Solvanian royal family survives or flies, even if the terra side survives. Either way, we can pass on the blood of the Solvanian family to future generations. If you say greed, it's best if you stay both ways."

That said, sip the remaining tea in one breath and put the dried cup back on the table.

"... I hate war. It's like washing blood with blood, I don't want to fight like that. I don't like people dying, I don't like killing people. Well, I've been through enough in the first half of my life."

"… Your Majesty"

"Saya, while I'm king, war is ae. You need to pay for the firepowder that came down to protect things, but you don't have to do it in a way that would attack you from where you are. If I do, I fight in 'business'. Yeah, but you can do that and get resented. Do it?

"... right. There is resentment."

"I don't have to worry about that this time. Sonically dissatisfied or Erica sire dissatisfied, yet no one gets hurt. Don't talk like" my heart "? If it hurts my heart, I'll take care of it."

……

"The war, the battle, the feud, if you leave that to yourself, ae. We do it our way, leaving that 'blood' for future generations. I'm sure if I did the coata, I wouldn't treat Sonia roughly. Instead, are you going to adore me?

Behind Maria's brain, Kota stroked her head and said, 'I don't like to treat you like a child!' and dissatisfied, still floating Sonia smiling happily.

"... right. I'm sure you'll take care of it."

"Let him? I'm sure I'll take care of Sonia if I do the coata..."

"... eh? The... Kota Han takes care of 'everyone'."

"If you put a cross spear like that in there, Sonia will piss you off. In the first place, he was also the daughter of the Solvanian royal family. What I want is a snake fluent to get it on its own?

Maria smiles bitterly, too, unexpectedly at Carlos I, who says so with dignity and shows it. Such a gentle look at Maria, Carlos I took over the word.

"... thanks, Maria"

"See? What is it?

"As a parent, I'm glad you're worried about your daughter."

"Oh, and you're worried... you know... there you go! It's me! I don't want the horses to kick me, and I just said so!

Maria, her face is bright red. Because I was kind of illuminated when I spoke so enthusiastically earlier to thank Carlos I for my honesty, which was rare. Carlos I stared at Maria with such a nibbling look.

"Is that ~? Maria, are you lit? What? What? Are you so ashamed to worry about your friend? Ee Yan, youth! Feel that!

And it's Carlos I quality that puts it in words. Such a tearful glance at Carlos I, Maria sighed heavily.

"... sucks, Your Majesty"

"I'm aware of that. Come on, Maria? Can you ask me for one, please?

"... it's good to say that it's humiliating and humiliating, like a favor."

"I thought I'd say so-so. In the meantime, Sonia's - no. For Maria's" dear friend "!

"Don't say it again! You suck, Your Majesty!

Maria screaming with a bright red face. Look at you like that with the same nigga face.

"Please, Maria. Will you send a letter to Solvania? Come straight to Philip, huh?

Maria dropped her breathing shoulder in abundance at the words of the dazzling Carlos I.
