The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)

National Alliance of Lime Cities, Abarte.

There is no upward or downward distinction between the Lyme City National Alliance, originally "founded" as a Free Cities Alliance, i.e. the seven cities that make up the Lyme City National Alliance of Abarte, Basso, Caffaro, Danieli, Aeco, Fano and Gadda exist in parallel, as a prehistoric theory.

Even though representatives of each city state have one vote, each city also has a clear balance of power. For example, Abarte, known as the 'chick type of the Lyme City National Alliance' and a free city that does not place the first royal aristocracy in Orkena history, is also regarded as superior within the Lyme City National Alliance and is also a political, historical, cultural and economic centre. Even in Japan, "one vote disparity" became a problem, but even if I take it to Lime, I can't help but say that it is the same, what is wrong with it, the policy of "center" Abarte nearby. To the left, the official residence of the Free City, where the Council of Regents now serves as the presidential palace, is located in Abarte, and Alberto, an Aeco native, is "traveling" to the presidential palace despite his presidency. It is not the same as the king's capital as the 'king's capital' in the kingdom he needs… it is a feeling of similarity or stopping by because he became prime minister in Japan, and the local area of that prime minister will not be the capital.

"... thats... go ahhhhhhh!

Get off the carriage parking lot, the gateway to Abarte, which can also be called the 'capital' of such a Lyme City National Alliance. No, Erica grows loud at the same time as Mmm. The Solvanian royal crested carriage, plus the people who go on such bizarre journeys of the beautiful girl who came out saying, 'What is it?' Erica dyes her cheeks to the vermilion as if she had always noticed she was coming with a gaze. Seeing Erica like that, Kota, with a bitter smile on her mouth, followed her off the carriage.

"That was a lot louder, wasn't it, Erica? What's the matter, sir? Was the carriage trip cramped?

"Let's... don't be shy. 'Cause there's no choice, is there? It was in a much narrower carriage. If you think you can finally get out of the carriage... you know... right?

Erica lays face down saying that in embarrassment. Such a pompous stroke of Erica's head, Kota makes her gaze run all over the city.

"... that's amazing"

On either side of the straight stretch of Main Street, where the two carriages can relax and cross, there are various illustrated signs that convey the performance, and you can see five theaters, large and small, just to get inside Hota's gaze.

"... Erica, I think the clothes that are coming over there are with the costume of that sign person..."

"Lime also sells costume artifacts used in theatre as a souvenir. That's the costume of Lady Leila, the protagonist of The Duchess of Hundebarn."

"... you know what I mean?

"There's a big embroidery of butterflies on the left of your skirt, right? That's Mrs. Leila's trademark. That's funny, the depression of the Duchess of Hundebarn. It's a masterpiece with laughter and tears."

"That's familiar."

"I told you, didn't I? He said he liked theatre."

With that said, he smiles back at Erica with a glittering grin, and Kota returns his gaze to the whole city. Even from Hota, who has seen Parsena, Solvania, and Larchia and the 'King's Capital' of several countries in this other world, that sight, which is a kind of alien, is exactly worthy of 'exoticism'.

"That's amazing. Is this the case everywhere in the Lyme City National Alliance?

"Hmm... Lyme City National Alliance is popular in all cities for mass theatre, but I knew Abarte was something else. It's called the birthplace of theatre."

"Really? I don't know about theater... Oh, my God, I'm allergic to that, but it kind of feels natural. Are you claiming the origins of theatre, Lyme?

"Oh, you don't. I play something naturally in every country... because the birthplace of the so-called" Free Theatre "is Abarte after all"

"... free theatre, what?

"Literally, it's free theatre. I don't care what act you play. Exchangers' criticism, sarcasm, and whining are also allowed. That's the" Free Theatre, "a unique form of the Lyme City National Alliance."

"... ho"

"Of course during the time of the Titanium Empire, when Emperor Alex unified the continent of Orkena, there was still a lot of theatre to beautify Emperor Alex. I'm sorry if I should tell the traders I'm selling the festivities... but, well, that's the way it is. In the meantime, they did a theatre in Borusa, on the outskirts of Abarte, that looked like they were playing the Alex Emperor of Time. That too, in the sight of Emperor Alex."

"... that's another story... I don't know what to say."

It is the theatre of the powerful of time, but also of the present person in front of the powerful. It's not funny when her neck flies. To such a thing, Erica still laughed and shook her head.

"It was a play about Emperor Alex, Queen Freia, and the Yumerian and Aleia squares, right? Alex, the Emperor, Freya, Yumeria and Aleia, they all laughed and watched the play. Alex, I hear the Emperor was a bitter laugh."

……

"At the end of that play, Emperor Alex gave Abarte permission to perform all of his theatre without prior censorship, in which he taunted or taunted high nobility, statehood heroes, and the emperor himself." Culture comes from the wind spurs. No need to hesitate, just play, 'he even made a law called the Imperial Culture Decree to launch the protection of Abarte's theatre. So theatre flourishes in the Lyme City National Alliance. Don't hesitate, just play. "

"... what shall I say... yes, that's amazing"

All sorts of things. Especially from Kota, who reads through "Alex's Letter," I can see the sight in his hand. I'm sure Yumeria and Aleia on Alex's side stood up with a nibbling face, and Freya would have turned her face bright red. I'm sure that imagination isn't far away, even if it doesn't hit her. I don't need to hesitate or just play it. I must have made Around Aleia say it. I hit it, and Hota sighed again.

"Is that a free city?"

"Well, I'm sure a city in the Flame Empire would create a reluctance, so Emperor Alex recognized Abarte's autonomy. Luckily, Orkena Avenue, which connects the continent of Orkena east and west to Alex Avenue north and south, has been improved to make it easier for people to come and go, 'Let's have a glimpse of the free theatre recognised by the Emperor! The tide has risen."

It's like Ise.

"So the National Alliance for the City of Lime, starting with Abarte, is a city where theatre was born, a country that has remained faithful to the words of Emperor Alex for thousands of years."

"I see. So? Is this Borusa?

"I wonder if Borusa is a little more of a northern district. Abarte is quite large, so it's divided into several districts."

"Does it feel like the North and South Sides of Parsena?

"Uh... well, yeah. I feel that downtown the center is literally the center of Abarte, and there are many small towns in the city called Borusa, the city of theatre, Aleri, the center of the economy, Lucambia, the residential district, well 'Abarte'......?

"... I see"

It's like the difference between City of London and Greater London. Tell me, does it feel like 'The Great Abarte' or something?

"That being said, if we're going to split up now, it feels about right. It's good to know a city with a theatre everywhere."

"Is that what it is?

"Something like that, something like that. I said a lot of things."

Erica laughed at Kota.

"In the meantime, you'd better walk around the city than I explain! Cotta? Let's go! The Free City Mansion is a short walk away, and you'll see lots of things!

Erica smiles and offers her right hand. Staring at his right hand like that, Kota sighs small.

"... don't stop the carriage a long way from the city centre, I thought... did you want to do some sightseeing, Erica?

"Nice, sightseeing date! Isn't that good? Because it's a corner!

That's what I said, and I offered you my right hand. 'Mmm!' and stick it out. Is it just a little light, or Erica dyed her cheeks red, and Kota smiled small and bitterly.

"... as you say, princess"

I held that hand tightly.
