The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)

Episode Two Hundred Eight Sounds, Song of Love: If Ed

On the right arm of His Royal Highness the Regent Christina Westria, Edward Altner, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Flame, was brought to life by the King of Westria Capital as the second son of the prestigious nobleman of Westria, the Marquis of Altner. Badly folded - rather than, well, at any given time, the two countries of Flame and Westria are, but at the time of their birth, Flame and Westria were said to have been in a state of engagement and their own father, the Marquis of Altner, was also in the midst of going to battlefield. Especially when it comes to 'battlefield', though it is my territory.

Altner territory is a territory facing the Kingdom of Flame. With the high title Marquis, the Altoner family, with a territory adjacent to the constant battlefield, has the custom of having its son in the King's capital if caged, both in the main and side chambers, and even the King's capital has a house dedicated to it. Avoiding danger, so to speak, has the implication of alienation, but the great nobleman, the Altner family, likewise called it 'hostage', took it as a testament to loyalty by sending regular rooms and inheritance to the Wang capital, and also had the advantage of picking the buds of rebellion before by giving the utmost consideration to the Altner family, both on the King's side. Originally, the Altner family was a branch of the King's family, but it was a WIN-WIN relationship with each other. In that, Edward grew up fast. His brother, too, had a prolonged war relationship, and Edward would spend much of his childhood in the capital of the King of Westria, not in the territory.

Not stained with the 'colour' of the territory, the prestigious nobleman Cao Su.

Even though he was my second son, Edward was well worth the use. The royal family was also the chief sarge of this prestigious nobility, and both the Altner family and the royal family loved this boy, who showed talent since childhood. And things go steadily without knowing who they are.

He will be born in the future, the descendant of the First Princess.

Originally, it was also the will of the King of Westria to say, 'At the dawn when the woman was born, she shall have Altner's second son'. Although it is the ultimate part of a political marriage, Edward is also impeccable in his family - regardless of his will to each other - and it was a subject of celebration even for the Altner family.

"One day you will marry the First Princess of Westria and set up a separate house"

When my father told me such a story at a young age, Edward felt no separate itch or emotion in the words. The nobleman, my father and mother, who also cared about leaving blood, were particularly pleased, but the person at the time was… well, at the time I was only four years old, to the point of 'Is that what it is'. In the first place, there was also a realistic thought that even if I gave my thoughts to the fine man of the future, who still had no shadow or shape.

One day Edward turned five, Westria lost the war. It was a war that lasted a long time, but Westria was so scratched that it could be described as Cotempan. In particular, the frontline, Altner territory, was devastated. On top of that, besides being asked to cede territory with post-war compensation.

Even though it was devastating, the Altoners are not talking about the great aristocracy, territorial devolution, etc. that can be described as the clan screen of the King's family. The troubled king makes one proposal to the side of the Kingdom of Flame.

of the newborn 'Third Prince', hostage to the Kingdom of Flame.

A critical compromise that would not cause any more wounds to the Altner family and on which the Kingdom of Flame would be convinced. Male and female esteem echoes throughout Orkena, not "princess" who has no chance of becoming king, but "prince" who happens to be lucky enough to be born - not Christina Westria, but Christine Westria "prince" as hostage, he said.

The flame side drank this. Angelica's intention, disgusted by the act of offering a never-born baby to the hostage, comes after three years of respite, that is, on Christine's third birthday, as a hostage.

"Edward, I'm going to ask you to go to the Kingdom of Flame."

That's what my father told me when Edward was eight years old, when the day for His Highness Christine's hostage to the Kingdom of Flame was decided.

"The fact that His Highness Christine is a 'woman' is of the utmost confidentiality, known only to some of the heavy ministers in the state and to our Altner family, who were candidates for fiancée. You know what this means?

The name is as your alumni, the real deal is with escorts - and as a surveillance that Chris doesn't wear out. After the word of his father, he nodded and showed Edward in a pale, and true face.

'Okay, Father. Even if I turned it into this life.'

Son of the clan screen Taru Altner family of the Royal Westerners. Having sprouted that complacency enough, Edward encourages workouts until the day of his departure. To never be licked, to never be fooled as a hostage, and to protect the 'Prince'.

- Are you Edward?

In his first meeting with Christine, who came with such a strong will, Edward would be shattered of that strong will.

- I'm Christine Westria. Say hello, Edward!

Because I fell in love at first sight with that 'princess' who looked pathetic.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"Ooh, Edward? What are you doing?

'... Dear Chris. This is Flame, isn't it? Please refrain from speaking Westerian'

"Why not? Everybody in our country talk, right? I'm just a little lonely. Everyone here is not just flaming, sometimes they want to hear Westerners. '

"… Your Highness"

"Hey, Edward? Please. '

'... just for a moment, Your Highness?

Edward and Chris had a good relationship. Edward has watched over his brother and Chris, who treats himself more like a good friend than a subordinate, gentle, warm, and strict man.

"What do you say, hon.!

'She's cute, Liz!

"Hey, you're beautiful too!

Years have passed since Chris and Edward came to the Kingdom of Flame. Edward spent a longer period than he grew up on his own territory, and a longer period than his own, leading up to Chris, where he spent enough time to truly be called home.

"... Peace be upon you, Ed."

"... right"

"I didn't know Flame and Westria would unite in harmony ~"

Rare - really rare, there was a conciliation between the Kingdom of Flame and the Kingdom of Westria. A peace treaty in a true sense, not a truce or a document of surrender. It was the first peace treaty in history to date, and a party was held to commemorate it. Maybe this peace will last a long time. With such a kind of exhilaration, not only Flame Westria, the people invited from all over Orkena were intoxicated by the atmosphere. Chris glared at the sight as everyone and everyone floated.

"Brother!

'Ooh... Ooh, Marie. What's the matter with you?

"Eh heh... is this dress beautiful!

My own sister smiling at me for saying that - broke up with Marie Westria's appearance.

'Oh, it's beautiful, Marie! Much prettier than Erica and Liz!

"Thank you, brother!

Jump happily and stare at Marie as she runs, called 'Marie', as she falls apart.

"- Beautiful, then."

Poop, and.

"Yeah. Everyone wears beautiful dresses."

"... Chris, dear?

'... not once, either'

- That's so cute, I want to try.

"Eh! Dear Chris!

'... oh, my God. Just kidding, Ed. Come on, Ed? The food looks delicious and looks like a lot to eat!'

Worried face, for a moment.

As usual, to that figure of Christina, who plays "Christine Westria," uncontrolled, bright, cheerful.

"... Your will"

Edward just had to keep his head down in silence.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"... duh... Ed!

Slowly.

Edward opens his closed eyes in a room where the West Nippon plugs in snugly. In a slightly sumptuous view, what I saw came the appearance of a woman with a worrying look on her face.

"... Dear Chris"

"Are you finally awake? It's been a long time. If you slept here, don't catch a cold?

I look at Chris with a slight smile on his face and say such a thing, and there I notice Edward trying to wake up, noticing the schematic 'My subordinate is asleep and my master is standing', a blanket hung over me.

"... is this what Master Chris is?

"So? If Ed caught a cold right now, he'd be the enemy."

"... thank you for your attention"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ed won't be able to do anything about it."

That's what I'm saying. I'm gonna laugh and I'm gonna wave and I'm gonna show you Chris. Thanks again for that look, Ed gets up.

"... I haven't been able to do anything about it, Master Chris. I'm just doing it on my own."

"Really? Yeah, but it's a lot of trouble now, isn't it? Solvania comes to declare war, and lately the load of chambers of commerce has become harder to reach. After all, you don't care what we do?

"I don't care who likes me. I'm not going to sit down. It's okay, nothing."

"... ho but"

"Master Chris doesn't have to worry about anything. As usual, I don't mind if you just smile."

"... Ed ~? What is that? Am I always laughing like an idiot, Chiu?

"I don't mean to...... but well, yeah. Master Chris doesn't think hard, just laugh. Because that's all I can do. Come on, you'll be up late, won't you? It's time to eat."

"Mm-hmm. So is that! Bye, Ed! Let's go!

That's what I'm glad to say. Chris pulls on Ed's arm. Like a girl, Ed smiled small at Chris showing such tricks.

"- I won't let anyone break it anymore."

"Hmm? Did I say something, Ed?

"No, anything. Come on, let's go, Master Chris."

- Your happiness, my love, your happiness.

You can't even hear it, it sounded like a love song, and Ed took Chris and left the office behind.
