The Branded Female Fencer
War and Peace, Part 17 - Little Queen and Alphilis ⑤
"I see. You're a very motivated country, but you haven't gotten to the details, including home affairs. Whatever it takes, security is too loose, and we haven't been able to restore it to the iconic Royal Castle. With me and 20 of them, the castle will be in control."
"You hardly ever met anyone. It was the end of thanking us for the last name we saw."
"Rayfan, the little queen's struggles seem clear. But on the contrary, if all this talent has an external reputation, you can expect it from the qualities of the little queen. It doesn't seem like we're going to lose any money."
"That's right, but weren't we supposed to use the line thing to favor the negotiations? Did you cut it out because you're a girl?
Alphilis shook his head at Lakia's words.
"It's not like that. I meant to, but... when I saw her vessel, I didn't think I wanted to take such a sigh of relief. I want to be with her if I can trust her from the core. That's how I feel."
"Right. Sure enough, even if I look at True Dragon, I know he's a rare person. I hope we can have a good relationship."
"Yeah, really"
While Alphilis and Lakia were crushing that sentiment, Rayfan and Nora were exhaling heavily. The lady has it in her to exhale slightly to collapse from the chair. It may have been a serious action, but Nora was not to blame this time either.
Nora herself was crouching on the spot, and she doesn't really like how it works in the first place. I have no choice but to act as such. Nora, an assassin and a whore, behaved like this but desperately didn't want to discredit Ray fans because of her.
Ray fans spoke to Nora in a voice with a dark color of fatigue.
"... Huh, you're tired"
"Phew... Rayfan, were you predicting this development?
"The tone is back, Nora. But honestly, no way? That's the place. Given Arnelia's information network, I thought she would come to see me early in the year to make a request and get an idea of the current situation in the Krums country. But I didn't expect a visit on the first day of the year, and by accident before dawn.
I don't think I would have behaved so well if this had slipped a few more days to de-alert the assassination. You must have been lucky. "
"I think luck is among the talents. But I almost got attacked with the intention of killing him by accident, too. If I had, I would have returned the favor."
"Do your arms stand?
To Ray Fan's question, Nora raised her hand and indicated her intention to surrender.
"That being the case, without having to do it, Krums won't have the kind of soldiers she can beat. But there's no sound coming out of the terrace. I had a lookout on the ground for once. He didn't seem human, but I wonder if he had anything to do with it."
"I'm a phantom dragon. If you do poorly, that intimidation may have been a fairly superior dragon, or a true dragon."
"A real dragon? I didn't know true dragons served people."
"We may not be serving, we may just be amused and beside each other, and there is a possibility that a reciprocal contract or alphilis is offering something to pay for.
Nevertheless, I never thought it would come this way. Nice to be able to handle this calmly. "
It never occurred to me that Ray fans, too, were in debt and that True Dragon was being used by Alphilis.
Ray fans blurred and snapped as he looked up at the ceiling.
"... Hey, Nora. Is he doing well?
"Are you talking about the line?
"Anyone else?
Looking at Ray Fan's expression, Nora sighed. I know how Ray fans feel painfully, but at the same time, I feel pity for His Excellency the Chancellor, who does his best beside Ray fans.
"Why don't you worry about Chancellor Rusty once in a while. It may not be a flattery or a masterpiece, but none of those loyal men have done so far, right?
"Don't make me tell you why. I know I don't deserve it, and I know I don't. But Nora, I don't want you to blame me alone."
"... I'm the one who interacts directly with the line, right? I'm not talking to the little princess."
Nora felt a sense of crisis in the eyes of a ray fan like Nora. I thought the intrusion was a girl's love, but Ray fans mean it. To the point of being such a bad whore and assassin.
There is no falsehood in Nora's words. Line and I have been in touch ever since, and we report all our interactions without covering them up. But I wonder if it's okay to stay like this. If Ray fans forget me and run to the line - or try to use their power to call the line to themselves. Probably a lot of people and if you do poorly, it can be a matter of moving the state.
Nora grabbed Ray fan's shoulder softly, confused, and lent him her own breasts.
"I know how you feel better than anyone. Who do you think shared the struggle with you? If you were just an aristocratic little girl, I would be on a journey at last. I am no longer your loyal subordinate.
In the meantime, I suggest you take a nap. The first glimpse is due after noon today, so there will be plenty of time to rest. With tired heads, things don't work in the right direction, do they? Whether it's national politics or personal relations, "
"But"
"What are you going to do if the line is coming on a sudden visit? Or will I see you with a terrible face? Even Nakahara has a reputation for being a beautiful princess fighting for one or two."
"... right. I'm definitely tired. I'm sorry, say what I can."
Rayfan took off his dress and headed back to bed. Ordinary princesses also take people's hands off to take off their dresses, but Ray fans try to take care of everything around them themselves. Nora also thinks that this area is preferred and has a troubled personality. I think we can leave more to ourselves and Rusty.
Ray fans in bed began to melt quickly, but among other things, he asks Nora questions.
"Speaking of which, Nora, what's your first glimpse today?
"In the New Year, we only choose those who have special celebrations and good reports over the civilian population. First of all, every shepherd has offered to give 10 times as many sheep as before, so we have allowed them to meet."
"Shepherd - oh, one day I gave way"
Rayfan remembered a shepherd who gave way during a demonic crusade. At the same time, I remember Jake, who was the knight of Arnelia. I might see him at the next meeting, too.
Nora nodded at Ray Fan's words.
"Yes, let's make it a good rumor in the wake of Ray Fan's politics"
"Give me more reward than consideration. If you're a shepherd, you could be working extensively in Krums, so get the best of the good rumors out there."
"Yes, Mochi. And apparently it's pretty eye-catching, so I'm going to take it in as one of the spies. May I?
"I'll take care of it - what else?
"The SS training that the Little Queen was planning to organize has been completed. The superficial SS, as I said, has unified a set of equipment in silver. That number, roughly 300.
The SS at the back is also absolutely obedient to the Little Princess's orders and consists only of personnel who do not hate death. As for the initial number of people, 20. I haven't gotten to the 100 people on target yet, but I was hoping to get them up and running first. "
"The SS on the table will be named 'Silver Knights (Nogle Chevalier)' and the SS on the back will be named 'Pale Reaper (Bluewin)'. Twenty pale reapers will be given a secret soldier's ceremony at their private residence tomorrow after their official duties. I'd like to at least go ahead of the Silver Knights unveiling, because honor won't remain a form."
"I'll give them enough compensation, but it'll be a pleasure"
"Tomorrow - no, today. Looks like you're busy again, I'll take a break. Just like you take a break."
"Yes, good night. Dear Ray Fan,"
Before I could finish hearing your reply, I could hear Ray Fan's quiet sleep. I don't throw up weak sounds on anyone, but I'm pretty sure I'm tired. I carry most of the country's burdens by myself.
Rusty is brilliant, but he is also a big promotion from his status, and there are still many occasions where he struggles with a compromise with the heavy minister, and he can't afford to support Ray fans enough. I wish there was someone like Rhine at a time like this, Nora, but Nora sighed that she was a really sinful man, including about herself.
