The Inner Palace Tale of a Villainess Noble Girl

- Ban!!

--Gaki!!

Suddenly, a loud noise opened the door of the "Morning Meeting".At the same time, a dull metal sound sounds, and the First Prince squats with his arms suppressed.

― ― In a world where the flow of time returned to normal, Exiga lifted her restraint and stood up without missing a loose gap in her arm that had sealed her movement.Wave toward the door as if it were flowing.

"I'm sorry to interrupt.Is there a difference in the room where the ministers of the Stanza Empire meet?

Standing in the middle of an open door was a young man dressed in a noble dress in the Kingdom of Elland.He had emerald eyes on his loosely wavy maroon hair and looked like he liked women.

"My name is Edward Crester, the eldest son of Count Crester, aristocrat of the Kingdom of Elland.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Brr...."

Manipulating the perfect pronunciation of stanza like his sister, the man enters the room magnificently, ignoring the face of the woeful stanza empire.

As he walked on, he stopped in front of Exiga and it smiled.

"Thank you very much, Your Highness.--This is the first time I've talked to you like this, right?

"... that's right.Sir Edward Crester, you are as talented as your sister. "

"No, because I am not as good at foreign languages as my sister… I do not have the opportunity to go to His Highness in the Kingdom of Elland.I studied hard that I shouldn't do this, and this time I was granted the task of picking you up safely. "

"Please be modest. Pronunciation and grammar are comparable to those of the Stanzas. Come and talk to me."

"I was relieved to receive a note from His Majesty who is no other."

While talking, the man - Edward - smiled even deeper.

"So, where is my sister now?You've already overstayed your scheduled stay.Even in the kingdom, the voice of "red roses" is growing every day.I'm stuck with my plans, and I'd like to get back to my country as soon as possible. "

With a body asking about Exiga, I gave a concise and clear "requirements" to everyone here.... perhaps after all the shallow prospects of the Stanza Empire.

--At the same time as the door opened, for some reason the sword was dropped and the First Prince crouched in his arms, trying to stand up while distorting his face as if he had felt a sense of crisis in the appearance of Edward.The surrounding supporters rushed to help him and supported him.

"Nah... let's go."

"Anything?

How the hell did you get here?

"... I don't really understand the meaning of the question.No matter what, I came across the sea normally.--the latest high-speed vessel built with prestige by the Kingdom of Elgrand. "

N-na!

"We have been able to increase the speed of navigation by half as much as before.The hull was also strengthened, so the sea certainly seemed rough, but thanks to the skilled sailors, it was possible to set foot on the ground of the stanza without overturning it. "

It was the scholars who were called experts who were pulled out by Edward, who spoke with a very natural face.

"Eh, Elgrand's ship crossed that rough sea faster than Stanza's?"

"You won't be so surprised.Just like your country, we continue to make technological progress every day to enrich the lives of our people.It was also my country's desire to build a fast boat, as the faster the boat could run, the more times it could travel and carry more loads. "

"That's it... but!We don't know that Elgrand is investing in shipbuilding!

"No, apart from our country, we are not just investing in shipbuilding.Excellent scholars and engineers are collaborating in research and development to improve people's lives in various fields. "

"Nh... nnh"

"However, there is no reason to make such a noise especially to others.--If there is a clear relationship between Japan and your country, such as vertical and vertical subordination, it is different, but we have only continued to have a reciprocal relationship with your country. "

He speaks in a calm and humble tone, but if we summarize the main points carefully, "I'm not going to divulge national secrets to any other country.It's just a nail stick that says, "Out of the question of the Sovereign Kingdom."... that's exactly what Diana's brother said.

--The First Prince, shaking his shoulders in anger, finally stood without support and opened his mouth as he stared at Edward.

"Even if... we could get the ship to the harbor.Then what happened? "

"Afterwards," he said.

"There are many guards in the Imperial Capital.In the gates of the palace, in the interior!If you break through that defense and step here, it's nothing but the battle Elgrand has waged!!

"We duly followed diplomatic protocol and informed you in writing of our visit.We used an emergency contact route, so no matter how fast our legs were, we should have arrived already. "

"Nh...."

"Impossible! Yesterday or today we should have received the letter we sent to Elgrand as soon as possible!

To the old minister who stood up and shouted, Edward sent a cool glance.

"The country and the Elgrand Mission to your country have their own means of communication that do not pass through the Stanza Empire.Eight days ago, my Majesty the King of our country was sent to the Stanza Empire to receive me and sent an urgent letter to the Stanza Empire.By yesterday at the latest, the Stanza Empire will have been informed that we are going to the Imperial Palace.--That's why I thought the road from the harbor to the Imperial Palace was opened, and I was invited to the palace, and I was able to carry my feet here without getting lost. "

"Don't be stupid!

"Bullshit!!"

I don't know how the First Prince feels either.Eight days ago was the day the Emperor fell.It is the first day that Deanna, who fell, was saved by Deanna and was supposed to have been saved, was taken to the back of the Imperial Palace and placed under substantial house arrest.In view of the situation of the Lord, there are far too many elements for the daughters of the Elland Mission to consider "difficult to return home", but the fact that they can be communicated immediately to their home country means that the Kingdom of Elland has a "means of communication" that transcends the human realm, without distances.It may be helpless to say that this is bullshit... but at least at the time of Diana's birth, which exerted a power reminiscent of the Legendary Virgin, there is no doubt that the ancient legacy of the Kingdom of Elgrand is a "mysterious country".Otherwise, it would not be strange if there were other moves that are impossible to manipulate in person.

― ― One of the young civilians who received Edward's words and shouted, "We should return the Virgin to the country", whispered to his subordinates behind him and sent the letter that had arrived to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to "During the Morning".Not many books have arrived from the Kingdom of Elgrand to the Stanza Empire... soon we will find the document in question.

"... indeed, here is an official diplomatic message between the states stating that they will receive you from the country of Elland.The date of receipt was the day before yesterday, so I was wondering if Lord Crester's words were true. "

"Oh, such a thing."

"Who's in charge?!

"... if I recall correctly, the Minister himself would have ordered me to stop all documents from being exchanged so that the Elgrand Mission would not ask my country for help."

The old minister who tried to pass the responsibility on to his subordinates was more daunting than anger.Even though you bragged so much and said a shallow plan in front of Exiga, did you think you could deceive him?Too stupid to even feel dazzled.

And... luckily, Edward's eyes glowed to the "ask for help" that Exiga talked about.

"Ho ho. Did the people of the Stanza Empire force the inviolability that the emissaries who came from our country had to turn to their country for help?You can't just throw it away. "

"I can't help apologizing.The end of the runaway by some foolish people - even if you can still follow the unresolved Keri, but if the scheme gathered here was joined by about 80%, it would not be very "part of".

"As far as I can tell, His Highness Exiga is on the other 20 percent?

"Lord Left, however, as a member of the royal family, you must bear responsibility for the evil of the kingdom.I'm not ashamed to say that I had nothing to do with it because I was against it. "

"... you've changed a little, Your Highness.That's a fine word, but I hope you're not too upset.If you carry too much and crush it, there will be no ex-child. "

For a moment, think of a real smile, not a fake smile.

But it was really a moment, and in the next moment, he looked around the room with an unreadable smile.

"So, what exactly was the" plan "that 80% of the people agreed to?In some cases, I have to report to His Majesty the King and reconsider our relationship with the Stanza Empire. "

"....."

The people in the department that was mainly in charge of finance all at once looked bad.Since the beginning of our dealings with the Kingdom of Elland, the profits we have earned have grown year by year and are now absolutely indispensable in the country's finances.The economy of the Stanza Empire will be devastated if relations with the Kingdom of Elgrand deteriorate and trade profits are zero.

If we really took Diana as the "Queen", we would have stopped any interaction with the angry Elgrand Kingdom, and it would have been impossible to continue trading anyway... Apparently we didn't have that much in mind before the big Venus that we could get the "Legendary Virgin".Edward laughed sneeringly at the fiscal officers who wrote on his face that it was the first time he had noticed it.

"Apparently, if His Majesty Juke asks, it seems like a" plan "that will never be tolerated.Does that mean Deanna - the head of our country's side chamber?

Sure. I would like to welcome Deanna as the wife and queen of our Emperor. "

"That's..."

Edward's eyes glowed sharply when he heard the specific details of the plan, and the smile that was floating deeper, heavier, and darker.... if you laugh so horribly, I'm scared to the bottom of my heart that if you're angry normally, you don't have to feel fear yet.

"No, I've never felt more grateful for having a conversation in a foreign language.As expected, I still don't have enough training in stanza to express my language as it is.― ― It was only because of my stanza awkwardness that I was able to prevent a reflective curse and stifle the rapprochement between the two countries.

"No... you're very good.The rhetoric is really like Elgrand. "

"Compliments, it hurts."

... I don't praise you at all.Or rather, "I want you to scold me directly."Exiga does not have the technology or the imagination to express the declaration "I am angry with the greatest" so far, nor the oral skills to answer it.

And more than Exiga, those on the "80%" side who received Edward's gaze straight from the front turned blue and white.

"Nh... no, this is, um..."

A little disagreement?

"There may or may not be a fault in transmission."

"--Misunderstanding! Yes, it's a misunderstanding, everything!

For those who excuse mogomogo, Edward...

"I don't care about the internal situation on your side.--Is it true or false that Deanna Crestor, who was my sister and head of the side room of the Kingdom of Elland, was about to be installed in the Queen of the Stanza Empire without the consent of herself and the Kingdom of Elland?

He smiled and truncated the excuse, and at the next moment, he erased his smile and turned into a true face, asking concisely and clearly the factual relationship.

The elderly ministers who breathed at the difference in expression were agitated without returning a word.

"Yes, we are."

"If you do not answer me, I will judge the words of Prince Exiga to be true.Moreover, there is a certain relationship of trust between His Highness, who came to the Kingdom of Elgrand as an Envoy of the Kingdom of Stanza, and our country, and His Highness is not a liar in such a serious situation, as many of you in the upper echelons of Elgrand, including His Majesty King Juke, know.In addition, there is no reason to doubt His Highness the Exhigar. "

No, but...

"Whether His Highness's words are true or not.And if thou deny it, then answer it with the proof thereof.

In response to Edward's pale questions, the stanza side was gradually being chased away.

"... rarely"

Suddenly, the First Prince moved loosely and advanced before Edward to make him angry that he could no longer return the word.

"Anything?

"I said shut up.The young man of the Elgrand family is the only one.Without a moment's notice, we will enter a great country. "

"I just wanted to ask you something."

"That's what they say!It's a great honor for a woman to be Queen Stanza!Born in a barbaric and untouched country such as Elgrand, it is only natural to rejoice in the unwanted supreme fortune and pray for your life!

"I see. - So you admit that Diana was being moved to become Queen Stanza?

"That's right. I am trying to give your sister a great honor, my wife.As an Elgrand, kneel down and thank me. "

After hearing the words of the First Prince, who stepped back and reopened, Edward stared at him for a while....

... somehow, there are idiots like this in every country, but when it's the top of the country, it makes people sad around you rather than angry.

She held her forehead down with her hands and sighed deeply.

The Elgrand language spoken in an unexpected fashion is quite shattered, and I wonder if this is who he is.

... my brother is sorry.There seems to be a verse that says that every woman wants to be a powerful man with money. "

Well, from the standpoint of common sense, it's not exactly a mistake.At least the side trying to sleep with the exotic side chamber leader reopened and said, "Is this just wild?"

Rather than wilderness… I don't know if I'm asleep at first, so I wonder if I can understand where I'm going.

... I feel sorry for the people of stanza more and more.There were various explanations as to why the First Prince has not yet been proclaimed more than forty years ago, but if you look at him closely, you can instantly understand.My apologies to the Emperor.

Before the many disrespectful First Prince, Edward was the first to speak to the people of Stanza.Brothers and sisters are alike everywhere.

- The First Prince, who was unable to follow the conversation in Elgrand and was consequently completely ignored, did not feel uncomfortable with the situation.

"Oh, no...!I'll imitate you everywhere...!!

His face turned bright red and he trembled, but his arm didn't seem to be healing enough to hold the sword (although it's a mystery what happened and how much damage he took to his arm), but he looked around with angry expressions.

Guards, what are you doing?Catch these strange invaders now!!

"Ha...? No, but..."

"They stepped deep into the Imperial Palace without permission!Instead of catching them, we could just cut them off here!

"No, Your Highness the First Prince -"

"And the traitor prince there!Mercy is just forgiving the last seat of the royal family, not to mention passing through Elgrand and the like on a lowly body!

"Um, Your Highness..."

"Move it! If you can't hear my life, you're all traitors!!

The soldiers of the Imperial Palace, who were placed for security, looked at each other in a confused manner.

The First Prince, who did not think the soldiers would disobey his life, made his face more red and stepped on his feet.

"Nobody, he made a fool of me!I will be the next emperor!--Whose life will you obey if you do not obey my order to be Emperor!!

"It's the rest of my life."

With a loud voice, all the hustle and bustle disappears instantly.All the stanzas who were there shouted their voices in suspicion of their ears.

--The deepest part of the "Morning Meeting".The thick curtain leading to His Majesty's throne slowly and slowly opens.

"When His Highness the Messenger of the Kingdom of Elland came, Yu ordered him to bring him to the minister in charge immediately, without hindering his steps.The guards followed the rest of their lives. "

I walked with a stick, but I walked with a firm leg.

The magnificent style is wrapped around your spine and body.

Answer the First Prince's "question" with clear words.

"Emperor, Your Majesty!!"

Someone's voice was a signal to untie the situation.Everyone kneels together.

As he was being worshipped, His Majesty, who had approached the Throne without danger, stopped at the sound of his cane.

Everybody, face up.

Ha.

The first to raise their faces were the ministers they had served for many years.They wet their eyes with joy, and they mouthfully celebrate.

Welcome home, Your Majesty.

"Congratulations on your healing."

"I look forward to your return all day long."

Meanwhile, it was the grand ministers who had the First Prince who lost sight.He lowered his head and said, "Congratulations," but his expression was painful.Even though the priests are smiling at the celebration of recovery, it is a mystery what the truth is.

His Majesty the Emperor, who had finished hearing the celebrations of the Lord's servants, nodded one by one to the eagle.

"By the way - what were you all talking about while the rest of you were sick?

Expressionless, with few words, I just asked the point.

In the unusual state of the emperor, the old minister, who could not read much air, clamoured his mouth to see the state.

"Yes, Your Majesty. ― ― I feared and believed in His Majesty's healing and made the choice of a new queen.

"With the queen?I think she always told me that the lady was enough in the side room and that the queen was no longer needed. "

"But, Your Majesty. Your life has been saved by the legendary Virgin who manipulates the power of a miracle beyond man.I wonder if it would be natural to welcome the Virgin, who is revealed as an apostle of God, as queen after her arrival in our country. "

"... I see. Was it a gathering for that?"

The Emperor who heard the story slowly lowered his hips to the throne.

"--Lovers. Are you going to embarrass me any more than your old age?"

Without roughing up any of my words, I heard a deep anger with a low roaring thunderbolt.

In the unexpected anger of the Emperor, those who were about to welcome Diana to the Empress turn into stone statues in an instant.

His Majesty looked around the entire "Morning Council" with sharp and shiny eyes he had never seen before.

"If you treat the princess as a savior of life, thank her twelve times, and plead facedown to stay in the Empire, I would not dare to proceed in a cowardly manner in a place unknown to the rest and the princess herself.Such behavior will not bring any benefit if we lower the standing of the Stanza Empire. "

"Hee, Your Majesty....."

"Not to mention, did you say" descent "?Then you should first hear the words of the princess, and ask the will of God.It is an arrogant undertaking without fear of God, such as leaving the princess at home and deciding the fate of God on his own. "

"But, Your Majesty!

"In addition - to do so shamelessly and foolishly imitating, not to apologize, but to reopen it in the presence of the messenger of the Kingdom of Elgrand, who came to pick up the princess as a matter of course.If you can't admit mistakes to other countries and apologize for not lowering your head, you will end up despising the Stanza Empire. "

His majesty, who spoke indifferently, was most astonished by the old ministers who had rubbed against him so far.... not as much as they do, but I feel the same way about Exiga.

Who is this man?I don't know such an "Emperor", Exhiga.

His Majesty the Emperor, whom Exhiga knows of, the people of the palace.Though he was not so smart, he had little interest in politics (festivals), and playing with women was his only hobby, so it should have been neither poison nor medicine.

This is it!

"You can't afford to think about other countries and even push the convenience of one's own country and force subordination to the other - do you want to make the Stanza Empire think of the neighboring countries as a small country of such vessels?Diplomacy is not possible if you just give it away, or if you just push it.Naturally, it goes without saying that measures such as welcoming the quasi-royalty of other countries and those in the position of the head of the side chamber to the queen of our country without a word's consent are the culmination of foolishness in diplomacy. "

Speaking so clearly about politics (festivals), acting as a protector of the Stanza Empire with the bad hands of its servants.

His Majesty the Emperor - I don't know his father, Exhiga.

"... and yet, Your Majesty..."

To His Majesty the Emperor, who was quietly and quietly rolling his wrath, there was someone who spoke up without warning.... apparently lacking the ability to "read the air", the First Prince.

Slowly, sharp eyes penetrate the First Prince.

"What is it, Prince?"

"Ha...! Princess, it's me.If the Princess of Elgrand wanted to be Queen Stanza, it would not be a mistake.It will do as God wills. "

"Whoa. Did you hear the princess's thoughts directly?

"No, it's not.There can't be anyone who refuses to be Queen Stanza!

"... that's something you don't know unless you ask yourself."

His Majesty did not tolerate any further objections from the First Prince and whispered to the chamberlain behind him.The chamberlain, who received the Emperor's words, quietly retreated to the back and pulled the strings to open the curtain.

That's where I was.

Dear Red Rose...

When the Emperor revealed himself, the messengers of the Elgrand kingdom, including Edward, knelt together.--The Knights of Elgrand, the greatest tribute to the royal family.

― ― With the maid, Diana appeared from behind the curtain and walked slightly to the knights of her country, who performed an undisturbed courtesy.She was just walking around with some mysterious signs, and when she realized that the people of Stanza were paving the way naturally.

Straight ahead of the knights, Diana stopped her feet in a beautiful way.

You don't need to thank me.Please, please fix it.

Ha

Thank you very much for welcoming me this time.

I know what to say.Deanna, are you hurt?Is there anything wrong?

Yes, oniisama.I am not injured anywhere and I am not sick.Me and everyone are healthy.

That's good.Your Majesty will be relieved.

Though the rhetoric is a little shattered, the distance between Diana and Edward is closer to that of a knight who serves a quasi-royal rather than a sibling.It seems that speaking in Elgrand has strong implications for letting the people of Stanza know who Diana is.

His Majesty the Emperor of the Throne called out to Deanna, "Princess," as the conversation between the brothers and sisters came to an end.

Yes, Your Majesty.

"Princess, I would like to thank you very much for the rest of your illness.--Besides, I'd like to ask you a question.I think they heard the outline of the rough story behind the scenes. "

"... yes"

"Where and how does the Princess want to live in the future?Do you want to be Queen Stanza?

Diana smiles slightly at the straightforward questions.

"The Queen of Stanza... there is an excessive seat for a lacking woman like me."

"Huh?

"Oh, I'm going to give you that excessive seat!As an unworthy honor, you should accept it!

The first prince, who was positioned right next to Diana, approached Diana with high footsteps.Before Edward, who was kneeling, moved, his pale eyes filled with anger and stabbed the First Prince.

"There is no need for excessive seating.― ― I have a mission to perform as "Red Rose", the head of His Majesty King Juke, King of the Kingdom of Elland.I came to the Stanza Empire because of my mission.It's not to be the queen of your country. "

"Nh... what's wrong with you?!King Elgrand is a better man than me!!

"... that's right. As a man and a man, it is certain that His Majesty Juke is more" superior "than His Highness.His Majesty, Juke, has the strength to face all the good and bad things of his past from the front, to incorporate them into his present self and to feed the future. "

"Does that make you strong?!A man's strength is a sword!Force! - It would be a woman's happiness to be hugged by a strong man and have a strong child!!

In the words of the First Prince, who was close to screaming, Diana said:

"The woman who comes around you may be happy by giving birth to a stronger child... Unfortunately, I am a more heretical woman among the nobles of the Kingdom of Elland.--I only want a child with someone I love from the heart. "

"I don't know, to you?

"If you can give a child to your beloved lord, it is certainly one happiness.... but that's not you.I'm sure there's only one person I want. "

"Yes, we are."

"You... can never make me happy.--The status of Queen Stanza only deprives me of hope for my homeland, future, and guidance to happiness. "

Even with a smile, she brazenly refused the Queen Stanza's seat as a "red rose" without telling a single lie.

(I'm just blurring important parts, and it's brilliant that I'm not lying.)

Lies are convenient, but lies in politics (festivals) can turn into murder weapons that tighten their necks the moment they find out.In order to avoid the situation, I would never have to lie on an important occasion if I could… The Elgrand faction is really good at carrying the words with the Prime Minister in mind.Even more so after knowing their truth, I can see that they are using rhetoric to cover up the truth without lying as much as possible.

--Rather than turning away, the first prince, who was rejected directly, blued his face and, conversely, the emperor laughed low.

"... the princess can speak clearly.I know that the princess's wish is not for Stanza. "

"Thank you very much for your generosity.--This is how my brother came to pick me up, and I want to spend my time quickly. "

"Of course, the princess's will comes first.--Guys, there's no such thing as an alien.

The servants stood up in the sight of the Emperor.

"... Your Majesty doesn't understand anything.How profound is it for the Stanza Empire to get the Legendary Virgin?- How deeply the loss of the Virgin makes us despair of the future of the Empire!!

Until now, a priest who had smiled inside his belly and even moved to keep "The Virgin" in the Stanza Empire - a man who had been creepy and silent since Edward and the others were embarked on Elgrand's momentum - screamed out his spare time.

"The Virgin must remain in the Stanza Empire, yes or no!--- Bury the bones in our country... that's the true destiny imposed on you!!

"... hypothetically. Even if it were my fate, it would be the same.- Man is never a slave to destiny.No matter what the world imposes on you, is it always important to know what you want to do and what you want to do?

Diana's words rounded the eyes of the priest.Edward, who stood up, smiled with a slightly surprised expression - much happier.

Deanna, you.

... I'm really sorry for worrying so much.But oniisama.- I'm fine now.

Ah, that's right.

Thank you for keeping an eye on me.... thank you for loving me as I am.

... thank your father and mother more than me.How much suffering have you two suffered, and been rotten to protect you?Without the love of my father and mother, I don't have you.

Yes, I remember my liver.

Exiga finally notices her brother and sister's conversation.How much she loved and raised Diana.

If the parents who raised her, if the adults around them, would have noticed her extraordinary talents from an early stage.If it bothered me, I could have raised her to take advantage of her talents.If Count Crester had known the tale of the "Legendary Virgin" of the Stanza Empire, he would have had the option to raise his daughter as a pawn of diplomacy and a "Virgin".

(But... her parents didn't choose that path, Count and Countess Crester.I chose to raise my daughter only as a human being and as a "Deanna".)

There is not a single ugly intention of an adult.Only deep affection is filled with pure desire for the happiness of my daughter.

It's because she was loved so much that she grew up straight.Diana can always be in the "world."Undoubtedly merciful, unhesitant to protect... no matter how harsh a reality you face, you can stand up with your face up.

You realized you couldn't stop Diana with her attitude and her strong bond with Edward, no matter what you say.A trembling priest, instantly weakened.

Easy, easy.

"... I can't help it.If you will, you can't stay. "

In a flowing motion, remove paper with something written from under the white robe.

--The Emperor and the Barloon Ones were the first to realize what it was.

"--Stop, Father Harm!!

"Princess!!

"... even if you push hard, I'll hold on!!!!

The moment the three voices overlapped, something like black smoke popped out of the paper and headed straight for Diana.While everyone was stunned, the laughter of the victorious priest echoed.

"Hahahahahaha!! Take the curse from this land!!

Black smoke reaches Diana's heart as fast as light!!

Pahn!!

"I don't know, to you?

The moment the smoke touched Diana.With a light burst sound, the paper in the hands of the priest tore to pieces and turned into dust.At the same time, the growing black smoke disappears like a phantom.

Even the emperor was stunned and unable to move, but it was the Elgrand momentum that was plain.

Diana gently held the dress around her waist.

Just now...

Isn't that a reasonable line of death curse that activates when you leave Stanza? Such a splendid "danger", his spiritual power (spirals) cannot be broken.

I see.... if it was true, it would have been best if I hadn't appeared.

While saying that, didn't you let go of yourself?The amulet.

Rather than being an amulet...

So I looked at Deanna with her mouth caged and her cheeks slightly red, and Edward had a very bitter face.

Hey, wait a minute.What were you guys doing in the exotics to make sure you didn't have a guardian?

What, that. Isn't that like stealing a parent's eyes and making them look bad?

It must be similar.It's no use trying to deceive me. What were you doing?

Besides, oniisama didn't scold me!

Then you can answer!

... both of you.Think about the situation. Can you fight?That's not what we're doing right now, is it?

The little knight behind Edward (who had been discreet until now, but apparently a woman) arbitrated with a dazed face.Judging from the atmosphere of the words, it seems that he is close to the Crester brothers and sisters.

And the airless sibling quarrel seems to have relaunched the thinking activities on the side of stanza that had solidified as a result.His Majesty stood up with his wand rang.

"Guard, what are you doing?Take the priests into custody. "

"Ah... hah, yes!Immediately!! "

The guards who were near the priests returned to me by His Majesty the Emperor, and moved in haste.Ring the sword and rush to capture those who participated from the temple.

Having been destroyed by a blow to his body, Father Harm looked at Diana with vain eyes, as if he was still unbelievable after being captured.

"Stupid... that's how the curse is broken..."

"Yeah, get up right now!

"It can't be broken.If anyone could break it... it's no longer a person...!!

As Father Harm shouted, Diana stopped moving and turned around.

― ― People

Calm and quiet.

But with a certain strength.

Diana shoots through Harm.

"Even if you weren't human, it wouldn't be a problem.... this may be an unacceptable reality, but the one who broke your spell is undoubtedly a "person".

"Nh....!

"Even if you have too much power in you.There is no one but "man" who was born as a child of man, raised with mercy in the hands of man, and knows for sure that he loves man.Because what makes a person "human" is not a power, but a soul that is always inside. "

Diana, who spins words, has no doubt.The eyes of the blue sea are as wide and clear as ever.

The deep, deep light of affection was glowing with glare enough to enchant everything you see.

The radiance is under pressure.Finally, Father Harm broke his knee.Dragged as it is, he leaves the "Morning Room" with the other priests.

--His Majesty the Emperor, who dropped off the priests without moving one eyebrow, looked around the room.

"... haven't you finished deliberating?The rest do not want the Queen, nor does Princess Diana want the Queen's seat.What more do we have to talk about in this situation?

That's a clear order to 'get out' while spinning around.

Eighty percent of the people who were moving to make Diana queen, who had been turned into stone, blued in the words of His Majesty the Emperor, and the usual greetings ran away from there one after the other from the "Morning Meeting Room".The First Prince, who tried to give opinions to the Emperor in his usual life, was also suppressed by the surroundings and was slightly forced out.

Finally - like Exiga, those who opposed Diana as queen stand up.

"Congratulations on your return, Your Majesty."

"Thank you again very much for your wise judgment."

"... hmm"

His Majesty the Emperor, who was thanked, slightly broke his lips.

"I only saw your courage, your faith in what you think is right without being flushed into the field.― ― The Stanza Empire will mark a major turning point in history.With your courage and conviction, I want you to support those who will face great difficulties forever. "

"Your Majesty..."

"Thank you so much for your words....!

"We all risk our lives to those who truly believe in the Stanza Empire."

... not only those on whom Exiga depends, but also those who have never known each other before.It's a world I've never known before.

(This country, I'm sure.It's not over yet. --Can be reborn)

As long as there are people who sincerely believe in the country and try to confront it.... unless you give up, the road will go on.

Thank the Emperor and... Exhiga.Those who remained also left behind the "Morning Meeting."

In a big, big room.

All that remains are His Majesty the Emperor and Exhiga.

Brad and Barloon Ones.

And... the people of the Kingdom of Elgrand.

His Majesty's signal lowered the guard and the chamberlains disappeared behind the curtain.

Shhh, silence has dominated the space for a while.

... damn, that's close enough.I hope the boat arrived in time, but I'm not going to do this again.

In the words of weakened Edward, the air in the field eased at once.
