The palace of the Stanza Empire, first seen, was a building of no less size than the royal palace of the Kingdom of Elland, with its round roofs, long corridors and several high towers.... and as I was hearing in advance information, it is true, very, very promising. As you can see from the outside, it's the sketch of the internal structure.

"... me, though I'm not very familiar with the battle. Wouldn't this castle be very suitable for battle? Such a sketchy, easy-to-understand building won't prevent the enemy from breaking in."

"We have to assume the battle of the castle, and neither will the castle, which is so difficult for the enemy to enter. What an exchanger has to worry about in a country that has grown so far would be an assassination for a single point of exchange rather than being suddenly attacked by a large army. As soon as a suspicious person enters the palace, you'll know the structure, and you'll generally be able to prevent short-term, concentrated assassinations."

"What if you were to do assassination work in this palace?

"... an area with a lot of people would be hard to go on without being suspicious to the back, even if they would grab a servant's clothes and manage to do it. If it's good to spend time on a yearly basis, you should normally take the servant's application and dive in, but this Te's" job "is probably a successful reward system, and all the costs incurred by then will be taken out over here.... Think so, it doesn't fit the bill"

"Until the job is done, you mean unpaid?

"If you work for a long time, you can overwhelmingly earn an information-gathering mission that resides somewhere and sticks with someone. The array is on a daily, weekly basis. Blah blah, the assassination system has a lot of people who are willing to pay for their work, so I won't take it unless the situation is more serious. After listening carefully, I decided that this wouldn't get any better without the target dying, that the client didn't stop to ask for it, and that I wouldn't be reluctant to pay for it.... Well, still, my client often does what he's lying about, so neither my father nor I have actually completed much of our assassination job. Sure, so was the last assassination request my father received before he fell ill"

"Heh..."

"... Oh, no, I haven't heard the details about that unsuccessful assassination request. Sure, it must have been a request from some Marquis or a branch of it."

"Is that what you're sharing?

"For once. Especially when it comes to lying clients. I try to get them to arrange to spread the word to the whole backsociety if necessary, so that as few people as possible will be fooled.... At that time, when I was busy with another job and I thought I'd finally settled down, my father fell down and I was out of conversation."

"Then we need to talk properly when we get back to Elland."

"Right."

While Deanna and Kai were just talking in a hissohisso voice, the carriage proceeded slowly, diving into the large gate and entering the palace grounds. The moment I dived through the gate, I felt the air change somehow, and Deanna looked up a little.

"... what is it?

"... Phew. It's a simple matter, but for once, there's a connection between the unauthorized and the unauthorized. We're in this carriage, so it looks like we got in fine."

Rita's complexion becomes slightly more rugged by Kai's words.

"So the Stanza Empire still has spiritualists, right?

"I think so, but when you can only put such a simple version of a palace in a stronghold, it doesn't seem like you have developed that much spiritual power (spira) technology.... Well, I can't be alarmed because it's possible that broadly speaking I only have a simplified version"

"... just in case, you were right to prepare an amulet."

Everyone nodded to Deanna's words, except Kai. Only Kai, the creator of the 'Amulet' himself, tells a somewhat bitter laugh.

"... I don't think most offensive psychics (spiriers) would work with that amulet. Be careful there because only potency is against spiritual arts (spiriers) and you can't prevent futu swords and poisons. And since the effect of the 'amulet' is only once, it shall be replaced with a new one as soon as it is activated"

"Even so, I'm comfortable with the fact that we have defenses against attacks that we can't prevent. Thank you so much."

"I can't thank you enough. It was my father who created the" Grant "spell, and I just used it to put my spiritual power (Spira) into the" Amulet ". It wasn't a big deal."

Kai is humble, but as Mia says, the advantage is that there are countermeasures against the means of attack called psychic arts (spiriers), which should not be able to be fattened by ordinary people. It seems that Kai's spiritual power (Spira) is not very accommodating, as he has always said, and is specialized in attacking and destroying systems, so once he releases his power, he can "destroy" the spiritual art (Spirier) aimed at himself without doing anything - in other words, deactivate it. During this visit to the Stanza Empire, Sora created a spell that allowed me to 'grant' Kai's spiritual power (Spira), even though many means of self-defense were better. Kai used the spell to "grant" spiritual power to larger cut-glass beads, creating a massive "amulet" to protect the bead owner from dangerous psychic arts (spiriers). I tried the effect of "Amulet," "Darkness," he said. "The knife (knife) released by Sirius, who was supposed to be a hundred shots away, walked away from me on his own! It works great!" So it's very practical (by the way, he was then snubbed with a series of bee throws that don't use 'manipulation').

As we talk about that, the carriage slows down, eventually, stop.

- I thought the silence surrounded me, and the next moment the gorgeous fanfare echoed. In keeping with the fanfare, I can also hear "His Royal Highness the Eighteenth Prince, the Palace of Return -!".

Kai laughed invincibly and put his index finger on his lips.

"From here on out, the Ellandic language is sealed. - Until Dee finishes the job, I'll leave the 'verb' activated."

Looks like we got it, everyone nods. Deanna nodded as well and gazed at Rita.

Please, Rita.

Yes, sir.

Where everyone has breathed quietly, the time is right and the carriage door can be opened. The cover used when getting off the ship was also raised to put on the carriage door, blocking the outside gaze.

(Even though this cover is pointless after showing up in front of such a large crowd)

The national pattern, I guess that's not how it works, Deanna secretly smiled bitterly and stood up, transferring herself from inside the carriage into the cover.

... If things change, so does diplomatic etiquette. I knew that, so I didn't mean to be surprised otherwise no matter what, but I didn't think I could put a face to face with His Majesty the Emperor without rest where I was exhausted if I was a deep-window courtier with a double combo of sailing and carriage travel. In this case in the Kingdom of Elland, even if it was not a break, clothing checks such as packing and dressing carried in a refrain room, and even though enough time is given to sit down and drink tea once (face-to-face with the chief officer of a country, so it is also a courtesy to the other person to calm down physically and mentally), I was led more and more to the back of the palace if the cover was walking as it moved.

Ultimately, the cover was removed, and the ladylike ladies of the cover also silently stepped back, leaving only the Stanza and Elland State Missions, and the soldier-like men with weapons anyway, whether they were escorts or surveillance. - And in front of you, how heavy the big door is. Whatever this looks like, it will continue to flow face to face with His Majesty the Emperor.

"Princess."

The prince, who was in front of the diagonal, looks back and comes a little closer.

Sorry for your tiredness. In our country, when the royal family returns to the palace, we are to greet His Majesty the Emperor first. … if you bring back a Guest, it's customary to introduce them together. "

(... I see)

That's right, a prince who's not a glimmer. Because of a very different custom from that of Elland, you were afraid that if you told it in advance, it might happen, and you couldn't run away silently until just before? If we flee here, there is no doubt that Deanna is more diplomatically and humanly disrespectful.

I said "Guests," but if you're a real Guest, you don't do this disrespectfully. Perhaps on Stanza's side, Deanna and the others, the "Mission of the State of Elland", are recognized as hostages, both in name and in the loot of this Stanza Mission. That's why Deanna's will was not confirmed or anything else, and she was carried like a thing.

- But just now, the prince is swallowed up in an earlier act of business, saying that Deanna can't be treated like a "loot." For this reason, it was just before, to soften Deanna's hit a little, but I guess this is how you put in a word of no.

Were you left? If I were to say hello to His Majesty the Emperor of the Stanza Empire, I knew it would be disrespectful if we didn't dress up at our best, but His Majesty the Emperor is a very nostalgic way to see you in such a thin and dirty way. "

Smile and I'll hit you with a grand aversion.... In the Kingdom of Elland there is also a position of side-room head, who somewhat disrespectfully meditated on his eyes that he could not anger his guests without darkness, but essentially whatever, Uemura Diana is a guest of the splendid Stanza Empire. At least in the Kingdom of Elland, the Stanza State Mission and the King of Elland exchanged such arrangements properly in writing. If so, it is only here that we do not properly present ourselves to the disrespect of the Stanza Empire that we will degrade the Kingdom of Elland.

"Yes, no, princess. That's..."

"Of course, if you say it is the custom of the Stanza Empire, we will not deny it. However, in the unlikely event that His Majesty the Emperor is offended by our disguise, I would like to ask you to explain as such as the State Mission of Ireland. If you can get out of the carriage and say hello in advance without time to get ready, we will do everything possible on board or in the carriage."

Turn away, I'll make it clear that this happened because of your transmission mistakes, that there is nothing wrong with the State Mission of Elland. In this situation of isolation helplessness, the moment of licking is the end. Of course, it is difficult for the prince to think of anyone around him as "twistable" or "flexible". At best, let this futilely compelling evil person and the recently totally understated battle mode, Red Rose, be frightened.

Deanna's attitude prompted some of the low-boiling soldiers. Very cheaply, he's pointing the spear tip this way.

Oh, my God! If you listen to me in silence, I disrespect His Royal Highness!

- Don't do that. That's who you're talking to. "

Switching his expression in an instant, along with a cold glance, Deanna turned her chilling anger and sharp killing on the soldiers. The movement of the soldiers stops perfectly in Deanna, who perfectly uses not only the usual stanza language, but also the ancient vernacular language that only those in noble capacities can speak.

"I will head the side chamber of His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Elland. He gave a direct affidavit from His Majesty the King and officially entered the Stanza Empire as an ambassador of the Kingdom of Elland. To insult me is to insult the kingdom of Elland."

Pressured by Deanna's power, the soldiers' spear tips descend naturally. Confirming the soldiers' loss of will, Deanna stabbed a chilling glance at the prince.

"Is it a welcome for the Stanza Empire ceremony to target rumblings and weapons at guests who have traveled far away to their country?

"... get those people back!

As returned to me by the Prince's decree, soldiers around him capture soldiers speared at Deanna and disappear across the corridor. In front of the main door where there were fewer soldiers, the prince bowed his head to Deanna.

"Princess, I apologize for overlapping. Of course, it was our misadventure not to be able to inform you in advance of the sight of His Majesty the Emperor. When His Majesty asks you a question, you may answer as you please."

Yes, sir.

Of course, I suppose he brackets Taka if His Majesty the Emperor, who only considers him a hostage from the beginning, such as about Deanna, never questions his outfit.

Seeing Deanna convinced, the prince finally seems relieved and signals the soldier to open the door. Leaving for a little while to open the door, he first took only Samba in. Unlike during the sight of the Kingdom of Elland, the construction of a building that opens up to Sukkaska, both above and below, gives a good voice inside.... If you seriously think about it, I guess that's all you're talking about in the Stanza Empire, where increasing the airtightness of the rooms you use on a daily basis is just a suicide act, that even during the middle of summer daylight can cause death.

"I greet His Majesty the Emperor. After completing his duties as the Eighteenth Prince, Exiger Asser Stanzaum and Imperial Mission of Stanza, I am now returning."

"... um. Thank you very much."

The voice I heard wasn't that loud, but it sounded heavy and deep. It's a deep voice, which can only be given to those who have carried heavy positions for years.

(... Indeed, the present Emperor Stanza, His Majesty, has reigned at the apex of the country as Emperor long after he took over the throne as only a teenager)

Rhea tells me that the current Emperor Stanza is not so interested in politics, that he enjoys playing with the women of the rear palace on a daily basis, and that he is still an old man who has no trouble fishing for women nearly seventy years later. He just said he's been obsessed with the invasion of the kingdom of Elgrand, which has been a dream for generations.

Rhea's statue of Emperor Stanza is a hearsay from her mother, as well as a candid emperor's review of the nobles of Stanza, I guess. Sure, if you look at his trajectory, though it doesn't look like he has accomplished anything notably for his long tenure.

(I can't tell everything by my voice alone...... really, am I just an invasionist of color madness?

Even while Deanna is spinning her head like that, the conversation inside proceeds as she does.

"So, my prince. How was your stay in the Kingdom of Elland?

"Ha. I feel that everything I see is new and I have had a very difficult experience. I thank His Majesty the Emperor for this opportunity."

"That's more than anything. Knowing the internal details of the Kingdom of Elland will be indispensable for our country in the future. Encourage me."

"Ha"

It's not hard as a parent-child conversation, it's a sense of distance between the emperor and his subordinate, no matter what you hear from anywhere, but, well, the number of children, maybe this is all you have to do. Because if we had forty-five children, our feelings for each and every one would be diminished.

And then I pinched two or three topics - okay, that's when it came.

So where are the guests from the Kingdom of Elland now?

"I'll be waiting for you in front of the door. May I let you through?

Whatever.

"Ha. - Let me take you!

The door is opened again to signal the voice of the prince, and the Stanza National Mission and the soldiers, who were surrounding Deanna, walk out in unison. - Although the rope is not hung, this is exactly how hostages and loot donations look.

Deanna steps into that space full of history and authority, colored with gold and silver based on white, without timidity. An old man sitting in a lavish chair at a height would now be Emperor Stanza. I have no doubt about the crown of my head, or the sumptuousness of my costume. From that gaze I could instantly see that there were many other magnificently dressed men around him, and in the hall, and that the genuine was gathered to see the hostages taken from the Kingdom of Elland, because they ostensibly labored the Stanza State Mission.

(... human wild horse guts don't seem to change even if the country is different)

Stopped diagonally behind the prince as he walked around, Deanna, and the face of the 'National Mission' that follows Deanna, greet him softly.

The prince raised his voice slightly.

"I'd like to introduce you. It's in Princess Deanna, nobleman of the Kingdom of Elland, the maiden of the Earl of Crester's house."

Deanna laughs bitterly at the obvious prince's introduction only in her heart. Now that you have stepped on the land of the Stanza Empire, do you mean that you will no longer treat Deanna as King Elland's sideroom?

I would buy that intention... "Even Deanna, who is oblivious to sex, can tell what would happen if she introduced the woman to the emperor who is considered a good color.

"Right. Princess Deanna, allow direct answers. Raise your face."

Yes, Your Majesty.

The hall swayed deliberately to Deanna, who responded in fluent Stanza and corrected her posture. For the first time, the Emperor of the Throne, who meets his eyes, looks at Deanna with an interesting "thing".

This time, he came. I heard there are many gemstone-skinned maidens in the kingdom of Elland, but it seems true. "

I'm afraid so.

Do you like the Stanza Empire?

"The air, the streets, the costumes of the people, everything is different from the Kingdom of Elland, and it's just amazing. We want to take full advantage of this opportunity to feel exotic on our skin and learn more."

"You say things like a man. In my home country, women (stomach) may have also done academics, but there is no need to do that here in Stanza. - I'll give the princess a room in my rear palace (Halem), so you can relax without knowing anything about what's right for life."

Intentionally, the hall swayed rather than the earlier ratio. Because the word now was the emperor's declaration that the loot obtained from the kingdom of Elland would be used as a sideroom.

Rita, who remained thankful, stopped Kai, similarly, from making the signs strong for a moment.

"I thank His Majesty for his generous words. It would be greatly appreciated if you could arrange a place to stay… surely the rear palace of the Stanza Empire (Halem) was not the castle where His Majesty the Emperor's wife lived?

"Neither. My side chambers dwell in my backhouse (Harem)."

"If so, with all due respect, I will not have your room in His Majesty's rear palace. Even in Elland - in the Stanza Empire, a woman's bigamy must have been a felony."

The men of Stanza stare at Deanna, who gives a grand opinion to the Emperor's opponent.

It was up to Rita and Kai to be vigilant around such a perimeter, and Deanna looked straight at the emperor.

"I have now come to the Stanza Empire in my capacity as a quasi-royal, headed by His Majesty the King of the Kingdom of Elland, Lord Juke. - As His Royal Highness the Eighteenth Prince of the Stanza Empire and Lady Exiga sent to the kingdom of Elgrand as a gesture of friendship, he also came as royalty and wife of His Majesty Juke."

"... ho?

"I will not be allowed to enter the rear house of the Stanza Empire and serve on the side of His Majesty the Emperor, more than I am the wife of His Majesty the Juke. Because it would be against the laws and doctrines of both countries."

The kingdom of Elland acknowledges the existence of an aristocratic man's affair, a side chamber, in an old fuzzy evil law, but the woman's affair is a sin. Although there is a way out of having a husband approved mistress because it is a charge of paternity.

And more than the kingdom of Elland, it is the Stanza Empire that strictly admonishes the infidelity of women. A woman formally married is even considered evil to show her husband's skin without his permission in front of a man other than her husband.... Well, there's a way out here, too, though it doesn't seem to be a sin to have a relationship with another man if my husband forgives me.

Either way, according to the laws of either country, it would undoubtedly be an act of disobedience to become the sideroom of the emperor of Stanza more than Deanna entered the empire of Stanza as the sideroom head of the Kingdom of Elland, a quasi-royal.

- Emperor Stanza, listening to Deanna, did his hand on his jaw without breaking his funny look.

"Hmm... I can't see the story. King Elland purposefully sent the leader of the side chamber, Sora, to the Stanza Empire as a quasi-royal?

It's on the left, Your Majesty.

Why did you do that?

"Of course, it is because His Majesty the Emperor has entrusted me with his duties as ambassador of the Kingdom of Elland, as His Royal Highness the Eighteenth Prince has assigned to His Royal Highness the Stanza."

The hall swayed deliberately three times.... To see this reaction, the Stanza State Mission had merely communicated to the country that it would 'bring back the noble lady of the Kingdom of Elland' and had only informed a very small part of what it was organised before the building.

- A little, I'm getting angry. Is there any limit to making a fool of yourself?

Ho ho? You told me you left the ambassador of the kingdom of Elland to the woman?

Yes, Your Majesty. This time the national mission does not hold consultations at the practical level, but is, so to speak, the Goodwill National Envoy, in order to make the people of the Stanza Empire aware of the Kingdom of Elland extensively. If so, identity is more important than gender. I was born a historic house among the nobles of the Kingdom of Elland and now hold the position of Head of His Majesty's Side Room. His Majesty, Juke, has entrusted me with the responsibility of an ambassador of the country, not to mention anyone who deserves more than me to be a bridge between goodwill and friendship between the two countries. "

"Hmm. You mean King Elland was sent a match, just like he sent my royal prince?

"Yes, His Majesty the King of our land wants friendship with the Stanza Empire with all his heart."

But if it's a national mission for friendship, how about a light outfit?

"Please be rude and forgive me peacefully. It was my intention to extend my highest courtesies to His Majesty the Great Emperor Stanza. However... the Stanza embassies have asked me to greet His Majesty the Emperor in front of your door the other day."

"... ho ho?

Every time Deanna talks, the ambient stiffness grows and the complexion of the Stanza National Mission that surrounds Deanna and the others gets worse. With her simmering anger at the bottom of her belly, Deanna continued to look to Her Majesty the Emperor, only on the surface at all times.

- I just said how convenient it is for the national mission, and if Deanna tells the truth, it doesn't make sense. Which one of you is lying, etc., that's what Deanna and the others brought us if we show them the letter to make it clear. Yet the proper rhetoric was thought to pass, which would mean, in short, that the people at the Stanza National Mission had assumed from their heads that Deanna was an untold doll. Well, in view of the flow in the Kingdom of Elland, it all went according to the wishes of the Stanza State Mission, so maybe I can't help but wonder.

(Don't think we're pawns that move on your convenience because it all turned out to be what you guys think eventually. Happy or unhappy, there is nothing to bind me to in the Stanza Empire. - In a while, fully, I'll move as I wish)

Your Majesty. I know what you mean, but didn't the Stanza Empire properly tell you that we are national ambassadors for friendship between the two countries?

"... hum. My country's national mission is likely to bring back the noble lady of the Kingdom of Elland, but I was asked if she would accept it."

"Well. Then the Practitioner missed writing the key part. I'm sure you're tired of being forced in an unfamiliar exotic country, called an earlier transmission glitch. I was wondering if you'd like to take a moment off."

"... I think so."

Of the national embassies that surrounded Deanna, they obviously ridicule the samurai, and the faces of those who were rambling get all pale at once. In seemingly gentle Deanna's words, will you continue to use those who continue to make such mistakes? Wouldn't it be better to fire him "seems to have swallowed up on the boulder to be a far-fetched irony. Besides, the emperor nodded, he managed to understand, even with a dull head, that the space that was supposed to labor us turned into an execution site in an instant.

"Heh, sire! Please, don't let this woman's sweet words confuse you!

One person screamed was called water, one officer after the other lay flat.

"This woman is also a notorious daughter in the court of Elland. As a rare evil girl, she reigns in the rear palace of Elgrand and has a reputation for laying down fear politics!

"King Elland was also fooled by this woman's incense and manipulated to be good! Not long ago, the woman's plot banished many side chambers from the rear palace!

"There is actually not one word out of this woman's mouth!!

(Wow, they're selling fights in all directions)

Four of the officers, who had a particularly bad attitude, all crawled to the floor. When you get seared out so beautifully, evil people are also worth doing.

Well, Deanna thought for a moment about how to cook for me, then.

Shut up!

His Royal Highness, who was in front of the diagonal, samurai the full, beautifully clean. The soldiers move naturally, even without an order, to the condition of the prince, pointing spear tips at the four lying flat.

As the field became noisy, the prince knelt on one knee to flow.

"Your Majesty. It is in my discretion, the chief, to accompany such an undelivered person to the national mission as a practitioner. It was also my responsibility to fail to discern that they continued to make false reports as they got a handle on it. Take whatever punishment you can."

"... Hmm. I mean, prince, everything the princess said is true, isn't it?

Yes, Your Majesty. Definitely....... If there was one place I dare to correct, I was aware not only of the officials but also of me for not setting up an opportunity for the princess to formally greet me as an ambassador of the state. The entire Stanza National Mission is in decline. "

Why are you imitating that?

"… I was informed to come with the princess to greet myself as soon as I returned to the palace, shortly after I got off the ship. If I told the princess about it, she would be offended if she valued her role as an ambassador of the state. The moment of sight is limited, so with all due respect to the princess, it's up to me to try to lay low until the last minute."

"I see.... well, ok"

His Majesty the Emperor, rose up slowly.

"Again - Princess, you have often come to the Stanza Empire. You should be entertained as a guest in a palace room, but it is unacceptable for a woman to wake up in the palace because of her tenderness."

Yes, Your Majesty.

"Therefore, for the time being, I will make an exception, but I will lay down a room for you in the rear palace (Halem). Not as a side room, but as a guest in our country."

"I thank His Majesty for his concern. … I'd like to ask you one question."

"Tell me."

"The rear palace of the Stanza Empire (Halem) is the last place we hear of once we set foot but rarely get out. But I am the ambassador of the kingdom of Elland. It is our mission to exchange words with many in the Stanza Empire and to be a charity of friendship. To do that, you really have to go out frequently from the rear palace. - Can I get permission to go out?

Guests will be in front of the building, but if you're going to be trapped in the rear palace (Halem), that's the same thing as hostages. The emperor stared at Deanna, who cut into the non-transferable part, but, uh, raised the edge of her lips as if something had loosened.

I don't think so. I can't promise you free access in front of the other side chambers. I swear in my name that I will not confine you to the rear palace, nor restrict the role of the nation's ambassador. "

- Excessive words, I'm sincerely afraid. I thank His Majesty Emperor Stanza very much for his generosity. "

No, what? Thanks for showing me something interesting. - Experience shows that a girl like that is more bored to let go than to lock her up and love her. "

"Well, Your Majesty. When you keep me, it's expensive, isn't it?

"So, I guess. King Elland seems to be a very unusual hobbyist."

Now it is time to laugh firmly, "Later, let's set up an opportunity to officially see you as a national ambassador," and the emperor slowly leaves the room. Naturally and thankfully, Deanna realized that she had overcome her first difficulty.
