The Branded Female Fencer

Knight's Service, Part 3 - Princess and Chancellor

"Ugh..."

After his consultation with Rafferty, Ray fans had one loud sigh in his private room. Keep the costume. Having removed Katyusha, she sits down in a window chair and closes her eyes intact. Yesterday I also slept briefly on the errand. She was cut off early from her meeting with Rafferty, which is likely to give her a little time to sleep.

To her, the lower daughter brings the chilled cinnace fruit juice. Ray fans liked to drink a small amount of honey in this sour fruit. It also helps to calm the mood.

Rusty walks in this time as the youngest girl backs off with a gratuity.

"Excuse me for relaxing, Ray Fan."

"Rusty, what's wrong? Now, outside of clerical hours, my last name should be limiting my entry."

"No, I thought we needed an inside discussion, too. I said I couldn't do it with my last name."

To Rusty's words, what a serious prime minister, Rayfan breathed one slightly shuddered. At the point where I say nothing, Ray fans want me to guess that it means I'm not worried, but this prime minister still doesn't care that much. Seriously, it's a good thing, but Rayfan thinks he wants a little more of his replacement, but Rusty's appointment as prime minister was quite sudden in the first place, and it seemed impossible for Rusty not to get used to the prime minister position yet.

I think it would be somewhat different if he raised his position as a nobleman to the Marquis in the near future, but Marquis and I are kings' relatives in Krums. Otherwise it was Ray fans' opinion that it was too early for Rusty because he was a man of great success. Ray fan relatives have not been interrupted, and Ray fans have not yet gained a free say in the running of the country.

That's why Ray fans had to play the perfect princess to strengthen their voice in the official setting. Same goes for the pre-meeting with Rafferty. It is a meeting for Ray fans to take the lead in tomorrow's formal military debate. If we discuss it in a private residence, the contents will never be divulged outside. Even if it leaks, traitors are easy to spot. Rusty also knows about it, which is why he wants at least a close meeting between the two of us.

Some disrespect also meditates on the eyes because Ray fans also know how to care about Rusty like that. Though I buy quite a bit of discomfort from the inside.

"Can't the meeting be after the evening?

"I have a project that I would like to move as soon as possible. How did the princess see Lord Rafferty, the commander earlier?

As he looked at Rusty's gaze, Rayfan guessed that Rusty was probably in the same opinion. It's easy to understand what foolish people think.

"Lord Rafferty seems like an honest man. If you cut off your head, you'll stand on your arms, but you're not a strategist. Of course it would be the supreme bishop of Arnelia who intended this expedition, but he is only carrying out the role.

His, no. Here's what they're going to do. They want to take advantage of this expedition to wedge here in Nakahara. "

"Wedge, you say?

"In the first place, in the last war, the Arnelian Church as an arbitrator did not function at all. It became clear that there was a problem with Arnelia's surveillance system, and the fact that Zamwed had less time for Arnelia to intervene was destroyed. This could be called Arnelia's Great Failure.

This lapse will be known to all countries, and it is imperative that they be disputed at the next Arnelia Memorial Assembly. After a moment, you may also act just to question Arnelia's asylum. Before we do that, I want the fact that we have reviewed the surveillance system again. That is why we have come to pass Lord Rafferty, two men of the Lazar family and now second in the Knights of the Temple. The significance of this request not as a danger, but as a social dimension, is very significant.

On the other hand, Gruzaldo's movements are enlivened. We're actively sending scouts to countries, and we're kind of obsessed at home. To stockpile food, iron and other metals have also recently been brought to flourish. Yes, as if ready for battle "

Neither does Rusty know when Rayfan grabbed that information, but he's also not going to make any sense in collecting her information. Besides, I'm more concerned about Gruzaldo being at war.

"Is Gruzaldo at war... and not in this country?

"Come on? There's a lot of barbarian country on the south side of Groussard, and Groussard is at their doorstep. I hear there are constant glitches near the southern border, and of course there are possibilities there. But if we're going to be at war with the East or the North, we Krums will have to get involved. Because of the convenience of the streets, they should pass through our country"

"North. My name is North."

"It would be Romansland"

Rusty nearly dropped the paperwork he had in his hand. If Gruzaldo and Romansland become wars and so on, a third of the continent's countries will be caught up in that war in some way, also considering the distance and belonging of those two countries. Plus the size as a country, the top two on this continent. Without a doubt, it will be a war on a terrible scale.

"Dear Rayfan, do not threaten me. It is not strange that this continent should be ruined if that happens. Besides, is there any specific reason why Gruzaldo would go to war with Romansland?

"... external intimidation shown by Romansland. Last month, there was an incident in Vindal, a satellite city in Romansland, where an ambassador from Romansland was attacked. Romansland is using it as a pretext to make Vindal recognise the military presence and to advance the army in the name of surveillance at the border. You may say that this is already a situation one step ahead of the war.

Again, this is breaking news, but Slasmund has made a virtual demise. Neighbouring countries will be in contention over Slasmund in the future. And to the west of Slasmund is Vindal, a Romansland country. Will the Great Powers miss this opportunity? "

"Uh-huh."

Rusty looked difficult and silenced herself. As for Rusty, he had his head troubled by how big Romansland would be if he fought the war, but Ray fans thought differently again. There are two ways to explore the roots of events: the thought of seeing the surface of facts in a multilateral direction as a thought habit of Ray fans, and trying to eat through that surface. While many humans could only see the surface centrally, Ray fans' thoughts were very diverse.

"(Yes, the real question is why something like this happened. Romansland often has a transverse attitude, but that is the flip of having great national power. Almost no Arnelian interference will also depend on the desire to prevent the Church from becoming aware of the domestic circumstances, and the great powers have national powers that simply do not require Arnelian assistance. I certainly don't want Arnelia's interference with me if circumstances permit. Hi. I don't trust that church. I don't even care about the system of Virgin Accreditation, but my purpose as a church has been too consistent so far. Even though the supreme bishop and archbishop are shifting from one year to another, the doctrinal claims are the same in every age. This is creepy.

Same thing happened this time. Lord Rafferty only knows so much about the internal affairs of our country if something like a secret detective is lurking inside the country. Not only does Arnelia's facility itself act as a spy, but I guess the average person has the same kind of person in the mix. Otherwise, there's no way the Expeditionary Force will follow us to the story of selecting a battlefield that abruptly descended and sprung up. It was only the other day that I learned the detailed map with us.

Still, I have to get Arnelia's assistance this time, because I can't change my belly on my back. Besides, Arnelia is offering aggressive assistance to Gruzaldo, and Krums, who hits the doorway of their beastman as the human side, will not escape Arnelia's influence.

But Romansland isn't. They were protected behind them by the mountains of Pilevos, and the resources could be raised from their own countries, because of the country's repeated acts of aggression of the past from that point of view. Romansland did a good job of analyzing his country and knew that there was no shortage of force and human resources, but that there was an absolute lack of crop productivity for its vast national territory. And Romansland has since repeated the invasion, and they have stopped the invasion at a stage when their productive power, including that of their own country, has reached a certain level. Because I realized I could keep it the strongest country on the continent without any further aggression.

That is why this Romansland action does not fall sincerely. What the hell is the point of restarting the act of aggression now...... no, because it is not under Arnelia's watchful eye that the invasion was carried out? Because that country will also be manipulated to someone's will, but who the hell can do that? But that was the same for Brother Muster. Maybe Rhine went to explore the situation) "

Rayfan's thoughts are all reasoning from the way in. But the thought had gained so much purpose that if the black magicians had seen her thought process, it would not have been strange to applaud her. But what Ray fans care about was the inexpensiveness of the line over Romansland's invasion.

"(Where on earth is he doing well by now? If that's what I imagined, I'd be looking into something pretty dangerous. But I'm sure he'd put himself in those situations hoping. Oh, I resent this self being imprisoned in my capacity as this country and princess. If I throw myself out of here and only my soul, I can fly to that guy right now, though)"

Ray fans look softly under the balcony. But not so high, she realized that in this garden surrounded by hedges it was to the extent of pursuing injuries at best.

"(Rather, just more injuries, and he'll hate you)"

"Princess... Princess Rayfan!

With Rusty calling himself, Ray fans returned from the sea of thought all the time. There was Rusty's face, which seemed anxious but often wrinkled between his eyebrows recently.

"Ah - I'm sorry. I've been thinking a little bit."

"Sometimes that happens to Ray fans. Aren't you tired? I hope you love me a little bit."

"It's okay, I'm not tired enough to fall. Besides, I don't want you interrupting my break."

To the words of a slightly mean Ray fan, Rusty wandered into confusion. Ray fans continued to ask questions when he grinned, wondering if he had abused his honest men too much.

"Did you have any other cases?

"Yes. Are you sure the little princess is going to be in line for this battle?

To Rusty's words, Rayfan nodded strongly.

"Yeah, sure. I've told you so many times about the need."

"But I think it's dangerous to go out of my way to empty the royal palace to see how many people complain."

"Don't worry. Over the past few months, research has shown that they still don't have the binding power or idea to have a full-scale coup. As far as I'm concerned, I want them to divulge their dissatisfaction with my absence, and vice versa. In addition, I would like to remind the court that the queen's watchdogs will function without me or you."

"Sure, that's why I'm bringing people together..."

Rusty was gathering soldiers on Rayfan's orders who would only obey her and Rusty's orders. The original Ray fan SS is moving forward, but still not enough to keep the entire royal palace under surveillance. That's not why Ray fans want to lay down fear politics, but as for her, let SS learn to stand and behave as a nobleman, and let blooming rose flowers on her left chest in Blossom Garden. The SS was given the name 'Bluewin' which means a bouquet of victories, and they will henceforth become famous as the most magnificent knights in the Middle Plains, but they are still in their infancy. Experience and trust are not enough in Rusty's view.

But Ray fans insisted slightly harder.

"Surely Rusty is right, this action is a kind of bet. But I don't think all things will work as calculated. Sometimes we need to bet."

"I know that. But isn't this too premature?

"I think it's a good bet for a minute. Whatever you say, it's an expedition with Arnelia attached to aid. That alone would be difficult to rebel or something, and let's say there were people with the courage to rebel in this situation. Indeed, Arnelia is moving purely at the request of the demonic conquest, and internal affairs non-interference is Arnelia's apparent principle.

But even if the insurgency succeeds, Arnelia will not give aid to the state formed in the coup. History proves that such a regime will not last long. If you're a bit of a head turner, you know, and you look dumb enough to let a fool who doesn't know that steal my country?

Rayfan carried the tea to her mouth with an extra grin, so Rusty just lowered her head and followed her intentions. I do also think Rusty is not a Ray fan who gets his country stolen by mistake, as Ray fans say. Rayfan's ability as a ruler is far too great, and now his reputation within the royal palace is also rising. It is not a sane shack, such as rebellion against a princess who will continue to ride in this rising airflow.

But Rusty's concern is that at any given time, there are people who want to criticize things for something. The more perfect the ray fans are, the more they even point to trivial failures that are not usually pointed out. I'm terrified of Rusty for that.

"(Really, I hope nothing happens)"

As Rusty bows her head, she worries once again with wrinkles between her eyebrows. Rusty herself can't stop worrying that the frown wrinkles won't go back to normal as they are.

Ray fans asked Rusty if he knew what was in Rusty's heart like that or not, and when he put the cup around him.

"Speaking of worries, I have one concern too"

"I don't think so."

"Earlier boy knights... I was surprised why Lord Alberto was taking them, but is it true that he will serve as my escort?
