The Annals of the Flame Kingdom (WN)

Chapter 223: Time in motion

A room in the Imperial Castle, the Regent's office. The Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regents' Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regen's Regent's Regent's Regent's Regent's In spite of the fact that the office has such a large name, the bed will be there as proof.

"... nnh... ehh..."

On such a bed she has a happy face. Even though he wrapped himself in an inflammatory figure called a blanket, he felt more cute than porn, and Edward, who was called by his name in his slumber, stroked his head with a smile as he sat on the edge of the bed.

"... Dear Edward"

"...... Rona?"

There was no sign of Edward at all, and Lorna stood on his back. Without any further surprise or anger, Edward turned his back and called out to Lorna.

"Excuse me while you're on holiday." See Progress Report ”

"Please keep it short."

Yes. First of all, regarding the matter of sending a message to the Kingdom of Westria... it is premature.

"... the Larchia Imperial decree is also disapproving in Westria."

Well, Edward could tell to some extent. Westria is not as Lauren, but it is a somewhat closed country, as it is no longer too old-fashioned to be a man and a woman. Although it is a closed country, since it does not manufacture or consume all the goods in the country, import and export are naturally inevitable. Of course, there is no application of this law in Westria... even a Flames dealer in Westria would be uninteresting.

"...... What about the Larkia Guard?"

"...... I have a booze every night. If you have a degree of practice,

You don't even have to ask.

The Larchia Guard, even though they called themselves the Great War, was like a group of bandits and bandits. I couldn't expect my level of training in the first place... well, even if I did, I'd rather have a lower level of training than a garrison that would easily fall down with gold. Even if I get stabbed from behind, I won't be a foe.

"...... Happens in all directions."

Edward raised his face as he stroked Lorna's head with his hands. After saying a few words to Edward, Lorna opened her mouth.

"... and... when I returned to Westria, I was handed a code."

"The dictionary? Who's it from?"

It's Aksiz-sama. From Mr. Axiz Altoner. "

"Brother?"

Lorna greeted her with a sealed letter. I took it with a sentimental expression and opened my eyes to the seal. I open the letter with a paper knife on the bedside table to make sure it was the Altona family seal.

"... um"

After reading the letter, I put it on the side table with a funny expression-as if I remembered, I offered it to Lorna.

"... what is this?"

"Are you not interested? Oh, no, I might not be interested... but I think it's good enough to take a look at it."

"... would you mind?"

"I'm saying it's good."

There, I graciously receive the letter that was just given to me, and I tend not to hesitate to look down on the letter. After moving her gaze to the right and left, Lorna's face was stunned.

"...... this is......"

Apparently, your brother wants to make me a hero.

……

“What do you think?”

"... if you just look at the conditions, you're out of order"

"We founded the Earl's House as a new sub-family. Receive a royal princess as her daughter-in-law and create a new Altona in the Kingdom of Flame. In return."

"... rent the private armies of the Altner family"

"... yes."

I'll tell Lord Edward what he preached to Shaka.

"Altner's private armies are strong. I'm not accustomed to fighting on the border with Flame."

"It's..."

"... do you think we should take this plan for granted?"

In response to Edward's words, Lorna shook her head.

"--I 'm afraid to say no, Edward."

Side by side, he nods in satisfaction and opens Edward's mouth.

"I see. These are the conditions... [I will present Christina Westria to the Kingdom of Flame as the culprit for the seizure of the throne and the murder of Chancellor Lotte]."

I didn't think it was anything to admire.

"... it's my father's idea rather than your brother's." Even when I was old, I still had a strong desire for power. My head is bowing down while I'm my real father. "

Edward threw up as if he was making a fool of himself, saying that his head was going down. Without hesitation, Lorna clearly opened her mouth.

“... Edward's ratings in Westria are generally very positive. The young lion who hit the enemy flame

"In that way?"

"Because the results have been left."

Well, that's why I have the guts to take on a valuable role.

Saying that, she sighed as though she was stunned. After Lorna bothered a little bit, she called out to Edward.

"... I won't ask you about your evaluation?"

"Good. It's not too busy anyway." That's why such a plan is coming out. "

Edward is generally right. Generally speaking, it is because the upper echelons of the country have not penetrated at the popular level at all, such as how they seized the "how" regime in the underdeveloped Orkena continent such as the Internet and television. As a result, Edward's reputation in Westria was not as a "coup d 'état criminal," but as a "hero who fought bravely and fiercely in the Flames Royal Castle with an oligarchy and drove the Kingdom of Flames to perdition." In fact, it didn't perish.

By contrast, Chris' assessment is that he crawls through the earth. The man who was treated as a prince of his own country was actually a princess. This is not reputable enough to be fatal in Westria, where men and women are inferior. No matter how much the Westrians are humiliated, Chris, a royalty, cannot be blatantly made a fool of because he is a woman, but it would be difficult to imagine that "he was deceiving" would be bad evidence.

……

That's why the Altoners have proposed this method. By separating Chris, the "false prince", and Edward, the "young lion", and taking on the role of hero, Edward, the plan is to make his position within the Kingdom of Westria a cornerstone.

"... my father's favorite plan."

Edward said that and sighed deeply and deeply. With that voice, you gently stroke Chris's head, ”nnh”. Confirming that Chris, who had been foolish for a while, had once again taken a quiet breath, Edward rubbed his finger between his eyebrows.

"...... Lorna"

Yes.

"This plan, this plan itself, is the worst... but it's worth considering."

"...... Master Chris."

“No way. That's out of the question. Outside...... if you cheat skillfully, maybe you can break the situation a little."

"... can you do it?"

Well, that's impossible.

Edward shrugged his shoulders at Lorna's words.

"The success rate of any road or method is low enough to crawl the earth." In that case, no matter how low the success rate, we will have to use what we can use. "

Once again, Edward shrugged his shoulders.

"-Lona, go to Terra immediately." Go to Terra. "

Apply for a meeting with Kota Matsushiro.

"...... if you don't like the thrown tournament, I'll throw you one more tournament"

That said, Edward laughed low.
