Stanza Empire, Imperial Capital Iftane. With its wide harbour and abundant greenery, it is a city that represents the Stanza Empire in both its fame and its development has continued unchanged since the founding of Stanza.
The day when the morning and evening winds mixed with the chills that tore him apart, making him feel the deepening of the autumn in earnest, Iftanne was engulfed in a glorious but somewhere floating, restless air from morning onwards.
"- Hey, is that true? The royal family across the sea to the kingdom of Elland will triumph in battle."
"Oh, apparently I'm sure. As a testament to the effects of the war, the royal family will hold the princess of the kingdom of Elgrand in their hands and offer it to His Majesty the Emperor. That would mean that you've achieved the kind of battle you can have with a beautiful princess over there."
"But hey... the other guy is that kingdom of Elland, right? I don't know how easy it is for the royal family to make war work."
"Well... I guess the great battle isn't just about being cut off, cut off"
The raw stanzas who have long lived in Iftane seem to feel the richness of the Kingdom of Elland through themselves just because they support Iftane, which is also a trading city, while delighted by rumours that the royal family's "battle fruits" are heard, and they are not convinced of one thing right now. There is therefore no hesitation or guilt on the part of the biological stanzas that the royal family and nobles extend their national territory by making war effects or by taking hostages and advancing diplomacy in their favor, but there have just been times when they have lived in the Stanza Empire, which is just a state of force, and the strength of the targeted country can be instinctively perceived.
For the majority of Stanzas living in the Imperial Capital, Iftane, the Kingdom of Elland has the impression that it is a "tough opponent", which I do not think can be easily dropped. Therefore, few people believe from their minds the rumor that the twitchy spread from a few days ago, 'the royal family will fight for results in the kingdom of Elland and take the beautiful princess back as a hostage', and she looks somewhere restless with joy.
- And those who were not pleased with the rumors as if they were not, and who still have deep sympathy for the "exotic princess" they have yet to see, were also present in the Imperial capital, Iftane.
(Poor thing...)
(Hey, I...)
(To a country like this far from my home country...... in a country across the ocean, I wouldn't even get the word out)
(At the very least, don't let them treat you rough in the palace...)
Those who have no voice, and who just whine in their hearts, are not even allowed the freedom to utter words, slaves and needy people - people who were not originally from the Stanza Empire, but people who descended into control of the Stanza Empire, who were barely recognized as slaves, or who lived in countries that were destroyed. Although the Stanza Empire has encountered quite a few rulers of the country who have vowed to be subordinate, the general public is more clearly positioned "below" than the ancient Stanzas. They were forced to pay a very heavy tax every month, those who could not pay were relentlessly cast into slavery, and those who could pay painfully were also promptly put to the bottom of the accumulation, and were forced to work in a hostile environment, having no choice but to leave for Iftane in search of a job to earn. When they also become slaves, they are treated completely as "not human beings" but as "objects", meals and dwellings, possessions of the home only to be given minimal clothing for the rest of their lives, up to descendants. The poor are barely "people," but most of them only get enough pay to finally pay their taxes each month, and when they do poorly, they look worse than slaves, and they are thinner. Still, there were many who cling to the status of the poor rather than becoming objects.
For them, the "exotic beauty princess" who became a personal witness for their native country is not a human resource. I don't know what kind of princess she is, but they secretly hoped that her position in her native country would at least be high enough to frighten the Stanza Empire.
When the sun rises high as the thoughts of all kinds of people are disturbed - from the palace of the royal palace, a carriage of greetings comes luxuriously. It is considered a virtue that women in this country do not show any skin all over their bodies, and it is natural that they do not even show themselves in public easily when they become noble. For this reason, the carriage thought to be for the princess was a luxurious yet robust construction, and it also looked like a prison somewhere.
Eventually, the latest fast-track ships, built with prestige by the Stanza Empire, slip into a port lined with bright lines of greetings. That's just what I should say, the ship was so glorious that I didn't think I'd made it back and forth between Stanza and Elland in a short period of time.
As the welcome line and the people watched, the ship was fitted with the well-built talap it deserved, and a few female officers and thinkers first entered the ship with a veil for concealment. Then again, after a while - those who went to the kingdom of Elland and brought back "the fruits of war" descend one boat after another. When a young man, however royal, dressed in a dazzling costume, appeared on the talap, a great deal of cheer arose.
The royal family does not stay on board, but stops at the side of the talap. When he looked up, the exotic princess appeared before the people in a manner protected by the veil of the clash ceremony set forth by the women.... of course, I can't actually see that. To see the appearance of the accompanying men and thoughtful daughters walking around the veil of the princess, it seems certain that she is a "beautiful princess". For the Stanza, whose shallow black skin is common, the white skin as the Ellanders pull out makes them feel exotic just that.
The princess, who got off Tallap, was talked to by the royal family who was waiting for her and seemed to be having some conversation. He shows a carriage for the princess, shown the ride, she has no bare gesture to resist, and therefore honestly heads to the carriage. The giant carriage was closed with a heavy noise as it was, swallowing the princess and all her entourage.
At this moment, both the ancient stanzas and those of the ruled class who had no choice but to live in Iftane, felt one thing.
(- Exactly, prisoner)
Destiny to wait for her, will never be gentle. I don't like the queue that moves, but "I invite pity for the exotic princess..."
"Khaaaa!
The queue that moved out, however, never progressed that long, stopped unexpectedly. Because a run-down toddler jumped out of the crowd of sights. Both men and women have stretched their hair beyond discernment, and their clothes and skin are thin and dirty. Toddlers fall and fall just in the position where they will flutter and hinder the progress of the queue. The surroundings became noisy, and soldiers believed to be escorts in the queue rushed to the toddler with their swords of escape in their hands.
"Please wait!
The soldier jumped in between them sooner than he could reach his toddler, a daughter who is still difficult to say how old she is. The clothes that are wrapped up are still thin and dirty, and at a glance I can tell they are children who are poor.
Her daughter lay her head down on the ground as she was.
"I sincerely apologize for obstructing your noble path. But, please, have mercy. My brother has had a high fever since last night, and he can't help walking straight. It was never harmful."
"Shut up! Your Royal Highness is on board! obstructing that step is a sin worthy of death!!
"If so, the sin is on me. My brother's untimeness rests with me, my sister. Please, my brother missed...!
"Can't you see I'm telling you to shut up! I didn't know the impoverished style would dictate to us with a palace... even if they didn't tell me, you two would cut it together and throw it away!!
The soldier's blade is raised high, and the sun's light reflects ominously in a giraffe. My sister, who was lying flat, raised a cry that did not speak, a toddler who looked almost unconscious while falling...... covered by her brother.
Everyone around us is convinced of the end of a toddler and his sister who have fallen unluckily in front of the queue, turning away -!
"Stop."
The murder blade nearly swung down, exactly at that moment. Rin and a glimmer of voice sounded as if he had targeted the silence of the moment.
That voice, which is strong, noble, and somewhere proud to be heard, belongs to an undisputed woman. A soldier who shook his sword was accidentally stopped moving to a voice that was out of place to be pronounced in such a situation, and he shook up the voice.
As if waiting for his movement - the doors of a ruggedly luxurious and gigantic carriage that was running in front of the queue, just behind the one on which the royal family was riding, slowly, slowly, open.
"Let's have that sword down. Of course, without bleeding anyone."
The matrix swayed without a sound, deliberately. Because from the open door, a young woman, dressed in a long garment with a large, exotic hem, appeared. The crimson costume is just luxuriously embroidered in brocade silver yarn, or the glowing stone is embedded there, and the luxurious carriage is no less glamorous.
The long golden hair up to her waist is intricately knitted to further enhance her beautiful appearance. The cool-cut eyes are the pale of the sea, the muscles of the nose passing through are high, and the bright red lips are well visible.
There was a beautiful woman there who didn't seem like a good person to flatter, but did attract people just by standing there.
As she descends to the ground in a smooth motion that does not make her feel the height of the carriage scaffolding, she approaches the soldiers in a relaxed foothold.
"Don't you understand my words? - Take the sword down, now."
"Ha..."
I don't know anybody anywhere, it's a woman's word. The soldiers have no obligation to obey, of course. Yet they could not go against her words. Take down the sword you were shaking up, and they stay put, step back.
She proceeded without hesitation to the space opened by the soldiers' falling back.
"Are you all right? Are you hurt?
"Huh..."
"With all due respect, I was asking about the situation from inside the carriage. Can I see how your brother is?
A girl who was trembling with her brother in her arms is engulfed in pure confusion. Noble people dressed in costumes that seem expensive, but also women, on the move, give voice to the poor. It's so unrealistic that I can't even think of a surprise.
Noble women don't mind their clothing hems getting dirty, trying to kneel on the spot.
"Hih, princess!
At that point, the royal clan called me back and said that I had come down from it, and turned around.
"What are you doing!
"That's the word, Your Highness."
Confronted the royal family, her words were sharp. Whoever was in a position to be seen that expression realizes in her pale eyes that there is a lightning-like rage.
"Cut off their own people in the sight of an exotic country mission visited for friendship. Is that the hospitality of the Stanza Empire Ceremony?
"Oh, that's..."
"If you wanted friendship with our country, the Kingdom of Elland, and you" invited "us, you should show certain consideration for your guests. In the Stanza Empire, it may be normal for lower class people who block the path of the high-ranking to be truncated, but we never feel good about being shown that way."
"Princess..."
"Not to mention these people were not rebellious against the country or the royal family. I'm just talking about a young boy suffering from such a high fever that he couldn't even judge the situation, and where he happened to fall was in front of the queue. Even if it was disrespectful, it was a proper apology from your sister. If you want to move the queue forward promptly, isn't it just a matter of helping the two of you to move to a safe place, even if nothing waves down your sword and takes young lives and doesn't pollute the road with blood?
"Oh, yes..."
"Or is it stipulated by law that those who have obstructed the path of the royal family in the Stanza Empire are immediately condemned to death, just because I do not know them because I am ignorant?
While a woman, and also an exotic, her manipulative stanza seals the imperial objections without a minute's gap. Finally turning her back on the royal family who had lost the word to return, it was only this time that she knelt without hesitation.
"I'm sorry. You look terrible in front of your ill brother."
"Yes, no"
"Mind if I take a look at your brother?... Oh, this looks spicy"
The woman, as if it were normal to do so, touched the toddler, a poor child, looked at her complexion, pulse, how her eyes were looking and in her mouth, and nodded.
"Is the water you're drinking safe? Aren't you dirty or something?
"Yes. Because there are wells that pump up groundwater."
"That was good. Can the fire burn?
"Yes, because waste materials are free to use. … waste ingredients, so it's not suitable for keeping warm, but you can do it as long as you cook the dishes"
"Okay. - Rita!"
Gradually she responded to the woman who shook her back and spoke up, looking around the same age or slightly up, her client-like daughter advanced.
"Yes, ma'am"
"Give me my medicine box."
"I understand. Here."
"Exactly."
Handed to me was a large, scratchy crate that was used, disproportionate to a beautiful costume. With a familiar hand, the woman opened one of a number of drawers and took the plant from inside and put it in a bag of paper. Repeat the same action several times, three paper bags will be ready in no time. It was an unspoiled move, which I know well from day to day that I am used to the act of handling plants.
"This way, please. For ease of understanding, the colors of the bags are divided. May I explain?
"Huh..."
"What's in the red bag is your hot and cold medicine. You can't fight the disease in you unless you have some heat, but you can't keep up with your body if it goes up too far. My brother seems to have a lot of harsh temperature on your young body, so fry this one first and let him drink it. Split into small bags, 3 times, in"
"Yes, sir"
"If the fever pulls off a little and you can put something in your mouth, please take this blue bag. It is a medicinal frying medicine that works for most diseases. It is blended to make it easy to drink, so although it is a little high. This one for once, 6 times. morning, noon and evening and, if possible, after meals. If you have difficulty eating, you can take a glass of white water before you take your medicine."
"Yes......"
"This yellow bag is a medicine that will help you recover your health. You can fry it, but if you eat it with cereal, it will be more effective, so make it porridge if possible... Of course, if this one seems difficult, you can fry it normally."
"It's okay. Not so good, but if it's cereal, I can manage..."
At the same time as the answer, from the eyes of the daughter of the poor, the puffiness and droplets fall zero.
"But, ma'am. Even if you make it this good, we have nothing to pay for or even thank you for. Because of this, but..."
"What are you talking about? No money, no thanks, no need. Because it's something I want to do and I'm on my own."
"Oh, no..."
"I am a messenger sent by His Majesty the King of my country for the sake of friendship between the Stanza Empire and the Kingdom of Elland, between the two countries. I will be reprimanded by Your Majesty for what I have come so far to Stanza in order to see the people of your country suffer for their friendship."
"But noble ladies like you, to a poor style like me..."
"I do not know the public opinion of the Stanza Empire without study, but in my kingdom of Elland the plight of the people is assumed to be the responsibility of the ruling class, the nobility. Reaching out to a suffering people, whether self-governing or otherwise, is natural as a nobleman. Failure to help you will not be tolerated as noble."
To a noble daughter who kept smiling and talked absurdly in a serene tone all the time, her surroundings were surrounded by a kind of unreality, as if watching a passage in a play depicting a legendary great man. If the country is different, then common sense is different. It's obvious when it comes to common sense, but women's stories are too divergent from the common sense of the Stanza Empire, and they get attacked by rejection before accepting that it's real "what such a country really is".
"Then... this may be an extra treat"
After a little hesitation, the woman opened the biggest drawer of the crate and took out a massive bunch of grass from inside.
"This is a herb that works well for beatings and cuts. If you rub it down and apply it to the affected area, the pain will be reduced and it will heal faster."
"Huh... Hit, yourself?
"Neither is your brother, but neither are you. Because you look like you're sheltering your body everywhere.... If you leave it alone, it may heal you in time, but that doesn't mean you can leave it alone. I'll give you a little more, so if you like, share it with your family, friends, and neighbors."
"Lady..."
The look on my daughter's face turned into something that, this time, sees the Redeemer who did show up. The poor girl felt with her heart that a woman who behaved so unrealistically was an indisputable person who could, however, give thought to her family, friends and neighbors, who lived on her feet on the ground.
"Thank you, thank you. Thanks............!
"I can't thank you enough. That's all I can do, it's painful.... Yes, which is your home?
"Is...?
"This herb, this is all I have in the medicine box, but I'm loading a lot of it into the carriage behind me. I'm worried about your brother's progress, and if it's all right with you, could I ask you to come by the house next time? Then I'll bring you some extra herbs."
"Oh no...! You can't go that far."
"Oh. As a doctor, it's only natural to see the patient until he's feeling better. - Of course, as an ambassador of the Kingdom of Elland, it's very meaningful to interact with you, the people of the Stanza Empire."
"- Princess!"
Apparently, the royal family, who had no choice but to keep an eye on where the story was going, finally remembered to utter the word here. Change your complexion and block women's words.
"Such......! I have trouble behaving selflessly towards the people of our country! In the Kingdom of Elland, it may be natural to behave that way towards the people, but this is the Stanza Empire"
"This says something different. Although I recognized that it was the role and existential significance of national missions to communicate widely to people in other countries what their countries were like. - It is only in that way that we in Elland, too, treated the behaviour of the Stanza Imperial Mission with a sense of understanding and tolerance."
To the words of a woman spun with a grin, the royal pallor's complexion instantly deteriorates, and the face of the national mission that stood behind him also blues and misses his gaze. Even if I didn't know the details, it was too much "for a moment" to let the people around me know that the flag color on Stanza's side was bad.
Once again, the woman, who seals the royal family narrative lightly, turns to the girl.
"Come on, you can't leave your sick brother here like this forever. Where's your house? If it seems far away, let my samurai send you."
"It's okay. Right there."
"Really? But don't push it. - I'll be there again."
The girl (who expected this to happen, or the woman had even prepared a simple handhold), with a woman holding her hand and her brother around her, stands up slowly.
A few men and women, girls and facial acquaintances, dressed in the same way from the crowd, jumped out, braved by a merciful woman who offered drugs free of charge rather than hard to hit because she was a poor person.
"Sarja, are you okay?
"I'll carry Porte."
"Hey, go ahead and keep the water boiling"
"Aye."
There is only gentle mercy on the side of a woman who stands back and watches the people interact with each other. I could see in the eyes of the needy who waved her like that the gratitude just overflowed and more faith. They don't even seem to think of uttering words, they just deeply worship women and walk away.
Only one, the last girl left, stared straight at the woman.
"Thank you so, so much. My lady gave me a heart in the treasure of my life."
"It's a big farewell greeting. - Saja, you mean."
"Yes."
"My name is Deanna, and I am the nobleman of the Kingdom of Elland, Earl of Crester, one daughter.... I'm so glad I met you. I take refuge in you, my sick brother, and face you without fear, even before the mighty might. Because I could feel that the country is different and that the hearts of people who think of someone important are the same."
"Deanna, Sama"
"Come on, get him to Porte's quickly. When I asked you again, how did the herbs work?"
……
Tearful, nevertheless the poor girl does laugh and bow her head and rush back to the crowd. The woman, whose hedgerows broke naturally and made way for the girl, and who dropped her off with such a gentle look, faced the royal clan directly behind her, switching the harrowing and wrapping air the next moment she could no longer see the girl.
"I imitated the past, Your Highness."
"Princess..."
"But I won't apologize. It is shameful as a nobleman of the Kingdom of Elland to overlook the slaughter of that sister and brother here. We did not cross the sea far enough to follow the" home "of the Stanza Empire. As a person of the Kingdom of Elland, I visited the Stanza Empire as much as possible as a bridge of friendship between the two countries."
"What you may say."
"… but perhaps the" friendship "in the Stanza Empire has a slightly different meaning from what is commonly thought of in our country, as can be seen from the behaviour of His Highness and the Stanza Mission in the Kingdom of Elland. Is it a sign of friendship for the people of the Stanza Empire, whether in their own country or in other countries, to show that they harm and bleed their people?
"- Princess!"
"However, even if" yes, "
Women's words, they don't stop. With icy cold and sharp anger emanating from his entire body, his eyes burn with pride as nobility of the Kingdom of Elland, and they are intertwined and rise like flames.
It looks like a crimson rose, brightly blooming with ice flames.
"It should be you, the Stanza Empire, who said that we would definitely like to invite the people of the Kingdom of Elland to the Stanza Empire as a" friendly country mission ". - If so, as we have accepted your friendship, we also believe that our friendship is understandable."
Everyone on the spot was under pressure and wanted to lay low without asking questions.
■ ■ ■ ■ ■
Crisp, almost silent sneer in the carriage. For some time after the queue moved out again, I kept quiet and watched how things were going, but would it be time to go in?
"Kai.... too much laughter"
"Hey... I'm so patient with you laughing in my arms, so forgive me for this."
Apparently it was purely funny, says Kai, who finally returned to his normal breathing, laughing too hard and wiping tears accumulated in his eyes (it's amazing that he even keeps such a truly beautiful breeze).
"I've seen" Red Rose "in Gachigi Mode for a long time. Dee, you've been a grown-up lately."
"Well, if it wasn't for the occasion, it wouldn't be pointless. Recently, in the rear palace, there has been a decrease in the number of people selling fights in vain because externally, it is supposed to be His Majesty's pet princess. Mrs. Magnum and Chris, my sister-in-law are here, so there's more I don't have to do."
"Both His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the people of the Stanza State Mission were turning their eyes to Deanna to see a terrible existence beyond the knowledge of the people.... It feels good."
"I don't even feel like what I'm doing now. Regardless of the people in the national embassy, His Royal Highness the Prince of Stanza was scattered around Deanna's excellence."
Rita smiles bitterly and opens her mouth as Aina, Rosalee and Mia snort deeply at Lurie and Yuri's sentiments, magnificently supporting Deanna's performance.
"I know Deanna's excellence, her brain clarity, comes with multiple understandings in her head, but more than that, Her Royal Highness sees Deanna with a very thick and distorted pair of colour glasses: 'Poor princess who cannot escape the tyranny of King Elland because of love'. Didn't you ever think such a pathetic princess would launch into such bold action?
"If so, you can see Deanna too much."
"There's no way Deanna wouldn't be seriously angry when the people were about to be cut off for 'cause they came in front of the carriage' in front of her."
"... well, Deanna is not only angry there, but also around aiming at many birds a stone"
"Really. - I've never seen such a brilliant all-return (full counter)."
Everyone else in the carriage besides Deanna nodded loudly at the really pleasant words Kai had unleashed. With all the previous depression, the look is clear.
(... Well seriously, once here, if I hadn't let Stanza figure out what her side was thinking, she'd have had a hard time moving later)
- In the first place, Deanna's outrage accumulated during her voyage from the Kingdom of Elland to the Stanza Empire. Although the Stanza Empire's national mission was still better with the Prince and Samba, the upper echelons close to them, the attitude of the practitioners who were supposed to be in a position to assist them (although they had heard the story) was already terrible. Deanna had a peck in front of her, but it was only in front of Deanna, and I didn't even think of the samurai who accompanied Deanna as the same person, starting and ending with insulting ramblings every once in a while. Not a samurai other than Rita can properly hear Stanza, but I somehow know that the words are different and that they are all ridiculed. The samurai - rather than Rita and Kai report, and if Deanna trivializes and bitterly complains, Herahela laughs and says to herself, "It must be her fault" on the shield that they don't understand the words. It was only posing that he was hectic to Deanna, and it was obvious that he despised "hostage flair looks great" in his heart.
If this visit to Stanza is Deanna's complete private, and Deanna individual is just being ridiculed, flush as much, but you just can't leave this state as it is. It's easy to direct the prince to adulterate the officials, but then you can't shatter their "the woman you're looking for, the only thing you can do is cry to a man," and it won't be a fundamental solution.
And.
"... no matter how much the stanza side, and even the vast majority of nobles in Elland, thinks of this national mission as' like a hostage ', you can't make that a fact. Instead, we went out of our way to enter the Stanza Empire in order to make the prehistoric one, the National Mission," fruitful. "The Kingdom of Elland is not weak enough to have to send hostages to the Stanza Empire to beg for their lives, and if you get your hands on it cheaply, you will eat the painful payback, to make them realize it's a country without alarm."
"I see. So you've been waiting for the opportunity to get the most out of it?
"Something in such a small boat that silencing only the people in the Stanza State Mission makes no sense. If we're going to make a move, we need to be able to impress the kingdom of Elland in front of as many people as possible.
"I somehow knew Deanna thought so... but I didn't think she would move before entering the palace"
To Yuri's words, Deanna smiled back gently too.
"I thought I might be in front of His Majesty the Emperor if I were to flaunt him." But I'm not kidding because I blocked the queue from proceeding, and I don't think exotic national missions are going to try to cut off their own toddlers.... Totally, I can't believe that children are a treasure of the country, but instead of sparing their lives, they try to move on and take it away "
"You know the extent of the Stanza Empire."
"Really. It doesn't work there, where does it work?"
"But in fact, it worked great. In that short exchange, I made a splash of the impression of" the bravery of the Elghans, who are not frightened by the sword, even women, "and" the mercy of the nobility of the Kingdom of Elghland, who cares for the people in a weak position, regardless of their country, "and made the Stanzans understand the difference in their thinking that" the Elghans visited Stanza not as hostages, but as state angels for friendship, "because the attitude showed that" the Kingdom of Elghland is on par with the Empire of Stanza ".
"Brave and merciful are the qualities of Deanna personally, and not everyone in the Elgland aristocracy is like that, but you don't know that, people watching on the side. The way Deanna behaved like that should have conveyed to her how the ruling class of the Kingdom of Elland knew that it was her duty to protect the people. This is quite a revolution of ideas, quite a blow to the Stanza Empire."
"Naturally, it's so inconvenient for the Prince Samas, it's the mountains that want to restrict Dee's actions.... I can't do it, I can't talk about it a little or softly if they take it as a precedent that they scattered themselves in the kingdom of Elland. It is truly wonderful to return all the boiled water that has been consumed scatterly within the Kingdom of Elland at this time. Good intentions and kindness can be a fine weapon if you go so far."
That's right, Kai, everyone in the carriage was deciphering exactly what Deanna said. Deanna unleashed on the prince, 'Although I recognized that a national mission is the role and existential significance of communicating widely the identity of my country to people in other countries. - It is only in that way that we in Elland, too, were dealing with the behaviour of the Stanza Imperial Mission with a heart of understanding and forgiveness', but it is well understood that it is the counterattack (counter) of a single blow that has been accumulated in the accumulation. In short, Alle said, "Just like you guys pierced the stanza ceremony in the scattered kingdom of Elland, this one just pierces the Elland ceremony as well. Is there a complaint," a declaration of reciprocity, and at the same time, "it is the 'Stanza Empire' that looks down on the exotic and behaves tyrannically, I know exactly how you Stanza National Mission behaves. In the same way, if so, let us convey with this body that it is the 'Kingdom of Elland' that treats the people with a heart of mercy, even the exotic ones, and protects and keeps them alive".
"Nothing, I guess I could have done the same in front of His Majesty the Emperor. That's true in our country, but what happened near the great man, for some reason, adds a hell of a twist, because he spreads it in a way that you can't even think of. I was wondering if I should behave directly and flashly in front of a very common crowd of people living in the Stanza Empire if it was enough to be a convenient spread for the Stanza Empire, far from the truth."
"Me too, I think it's more effective this way. Since Prince Sama was able to interact in front of the public, it would naturally be laid a dictum, but if this is all that happened in front of a large crowd, it is inevitable that the story will spread about how she scratched her feet. It was a thousand opportunities to appeal to the" Kingdoms of Elland, Friendly to the People. "
"It's not a very good time, so for a moment I even suspected it might be the work of Stanza's" relatives. "... to see how a child named Porte is doing, that's not true. It's a complete coincidence."
"Even for that sister and brother, it was before Dee that he collapsed. You're lucky you're unhappy."
"I hope so. For once," Don't put your hands on it, "but how far did it go?"
"I know you'll be fine if you say so openly, but just in case, I'll let Rick keep an eye on you."
"Thanks"
A little relieved by Kai's words, Deanna exhales lightly.
"Nevertheless," Eina slowly cut out in the carriage where the conversation broke off.
"It's a convenient one. The... 'verb' curse, was it?
"Yeah, really. Deanna's stanza and His Royal Highness's words were well heard in Ellandic."
"It's convenient, it's strange"
Nod Yuri and Mia too to Rosalee and Lurie, who took over after Aina.
"This doesn't seem to bother Stanza's palace."
"It's a big deal to be able to overcome a verbal disadvantage."
"... well, it's not universal. Earlier, I managed to hear Dee because the place he was talking about was within the effect of a critical curse. This spell doesn't have that much effect."
"If you could hear that distance, you'd think it would be enough, wouldn't you? That's about the diagonal side of the big salon over there, right?
"I heard that Stanza's palace was as big as an idiot, and it sounds like your father put his hand on the normal 'verb' curse to make the range of effects as wide as possible. This spell is normally used to avoid being unfettered when talking one-on-one with someone with different words, so it's not really supposed to be used by a large number of people."
This time, only Deanna and Rita can freely manipulate the Stanza language among those who tread on the land of the Stanza Empire as the 'Embassy of the Kingdom of Elland'. With Rita there would be no shortage as an interpreter, but in the midst of an overwhelming shortage of manpower, I wouldn't necessarily be able to just interpret all the time. It is the 'verb' curse that Sola made me hold on to Kai to cover the handouts of such words. Different languages are "audible" to their most familiar words, a strange curse.
Earlier, Deanna, who was speaking Medium Stanza with its' verb 'activated, had a really interesting experience of her own Stanza being heard as a double of Ellandic and Stanza. It is certainly supposed to be Stanza that I am speaking, but the Ellandic language reaches strongly in my ears, and the Stanza that I am speaking sounds small enough to wear it. I was confused for a moment, but that was pretty funny.
Kai, who hasn't activated the spell now, will look a little serious.
"I think I've said it before, but you say it again just in case. Because this' verb 'spell is certainly a convenient one, but not a very accommodating specification for that matter. A human being within the scope of effect receives the effect of this spell without exception. There's no problem if we just use a spell to listen to Stanza, but if we inadvertently speak Ellandic during the activation of the effect, the nearby Stanza will find out that our Ellandic language sounds like Stanza, and this one uses mysterious translation techniques. That's all. Be careful."
"There, you don't have to worry too much. It's basically my job to speak in public, and when I talk to a Stanza, I speak in Stanza, even with someone who can speak Ellandic. His Royal Highness also basically used Ellandic when talking to the Ellanders, so it wouldn't be unnatural in the sense of imitating it as a precedent."
"For that matter, these ears are going to get weird. Deanna only speaks Stanza, but for some reason she can hear and hear Ellandic at the same time."
"Because" vernacular "is just a psychic technique (spirier) that actually delivers words directly into your mind. It is more classified as a psychoactive system than a linguistic translation"
"... Really? Normally, I was like," I heard you. "
"Humans, when they utter words, unconsciously assemble words with their minds and then speak to their voices. It is the spiritual art (spirier) of the" vernacular "that reads the part of the voice assembled with the mind and communicates it directly to the recipient's mind." The effect of listening to words is triggered, so the feeling is that it's just the wind that I hear. "
"I see. So the Stanza I pronounced also sounds Ellandic by listening to myself. Then, if His Royal Highness speaks Ellandic during the activation of the" verb "curse, the Stanza language will be dubbed" can you hear it "on the contrary?
"Probably. Even in that sense, I wonder if you'd like me to speak to that prince in Stanza, if possible"
"Okay."
It's about Kai, so he'll control the activation of the curse if he needs it while he sees how it goes, but he's also not sneaky to burden him all the time. If Deanna actively used Stanza, she wouldn't bother to let the Stanzas speak Ellandic within the Stanza Empire.
Nodding to his awesome, covert advice, Deanna somehow looked out of the window gap to see.
(Stanza Empire, huh? Although it was good to find out that my Stanza language will also be spoken to the general public without any problems in the matter just now......)
From what I've seen, the inside line seems tougher than I was hearing.
Kai tilts her neck gently to see if she felt anything in Deanna's expression.
"Dee?"
"... Oh, I'm sorry. Hey, remember earlier."
"You mean that sister brother?
"About those kids, of course. About the Stanza Empire itself, or something."
Rita frowned slightly at the words.
"Dear Deanna. Also, you have a bad habit. Whatever the problem is with the Stanza Empire, it should be solved by the Stanzas. Don't be too heartbroken."
"That's right..."
"If someone is suffering in front of you, it's Dee who can't leave you alone."
"... Exactly. I don't think I'd be arrogant enough to manage all the suffering of the Stanza people either. But..."
There are worn out clothes, thin bodies, and people who manage to live to crawl, while others decorate themselves with fine clothing and ornaments and fatten themselves round. Even though the two do exist in the same space, at the same time in a spot of sight, neither their gaze nor their life overlap, as if there were an invisible wall.
Even the Imperial capital, Iftane, is at the knee of His Majesty the Emperor "if this is the case.
(As it is, I will not keep this country. soon, there will always be limits)
This is not the case with long-lasting desires, such as the Kingdom of Elland, which crossed the sea. The partition of the people, that is, the partition of the country. The people are divided between the poor and the rich, and there are fewer middlemen connecting the two than they thought. It is self-evident that if this state of affairs continues for a long time, the country itself will cease to be made up.
And when the country falls apart - the first to be sacrificed is the weakest people, who are not even taught the art of protecting themselves.
(It is the people of Stanza who decide the fate of the Stanza Empire. Though I know that....... I would like to think that you would be forgiven if you were so kind as to sow the seeds of hope so that you could not give up the future)
How far can you go? - What can you do?
With Deanna thinking about what to do in the Stanza Empire and a 'national mission' watching over her like that, the carriage wheels turn lightly.
… eventually visible, towards the palace of the Stanza Empire.
