The Magician Wants Normality

Regret and a little hope

― ― In the room of Ilfena Royal Castle (Queen Harvis' perspective)

……

Exhale a few times.We were exhausted when it was just a place to share and confirm information.

I was not asked a particularly malicious question.I think the Ilfena side was very careful to get some information.

--But even in such a situation, we are stuck in words.

Let me just say that our lack of experience has been exposed.For a long time, Harvis has minimized engagement with many countries.

I'm sorry to say this, but I'm not used to being exposed to people from other countries.

If these were the ones down there, they would still be able to fix it.

Speaking of countries that have nothing to do with it, we are the king and his wife.If you have a proper education, you should be careful with disrespectful behavior towards the most powerful people in other countries.

... well, "disrespectful behavior" in this case is "content or inquiry that we have trouble with words", which is when there is no concern for us.

Though pathetic, we have no choice but to rely on it.There is nothing we can do about the difference in experience that has been cultivated.

Well... this time, it turns out that's impossible.

I can't expect you to care about your identity.No, 'Nina, we have someone on Ilfena's side to watch out for'!

Of course, that's the wizard.She kept her tone to a minimum, but she wouldn't have any shards of care for us.

But for that reason, I'm convinced.That magician is not willing to forgive the presence of his beloved guardian, Lord Elsch-on...!

……

Otherwise, it's easy to drop the fort.Isn't the fall of the two forts a 'warning' from the Wizard?

For her, it was "that much existence" in Japan... "I don't care how many people I can destroy at any time," she realized.

I felt like they said, "I won't allow you to run away or deceive me."

With that strength, she pressed Harvis for a choice.

... as a result, it was decided that there was no other way for us to apologize.'I don't know what I'd do if I postponed it any longer.'

If the 'country' of Ilfena had been against it, it would have been able to draw some concessions.

Is it beneficial or not for the country?As long as Lord Elshon's life was saved, the Harvis side could have negotiated from it, even if it was quite wrong.

The important thing is always' Is it good for the country or not? '

But if it's "someone who doesn't understand that kind of situation"... what should I do?

There will be no relatives in this world more than a stranger.Identity and treatment of civilians... so-called "the position that if you don't consider disrespectful crimes, things like connections and factions between houses don't make sense".There is no fence.

It was thanks to her own efforts that she became a magician, leaving the use of magic to her own judgment.

And she had the talent she deserved as a magician.She was smart herself, as she was told, 'Magicians are smart'.

"It's only natural that people from other worlds have different common sense"?

"People from other worlds are respected for their knowledge, but powerless"?

What a joke!That magician has made the most of his powers and position and has launched the 'Most Effective Attack'....!

At Harvis, it's only natural that the perception of the other world should be overshadowed.I didn't think this was going to happen with me, who had a problem with Harvis' closure.

Ironically… Ironically enough, after the Wizard's assault, Harvis realized that they were stopping too long."If you keep the old information important, you'll be strangled."

Embracing change is frightening and will be more difficult than that.If we don't get it done, the country will slowly perish.We cannot afford not to see it until a sense of crisis has emerged.

That's probably the only thing we got from this one.Having been pushed into immaturity and immaturity on various fronts was a big wound, but I was able to realize it before the country really could not go back.

Having thought so much, I felt a little light-hearted.I did not live up to the expectations of my predecessors, but I was able to witness the change in Harvis.

Later, as queen, I apologize sincerely to Ilfena and Zebrest and present this neck if necessary.My son is still unreliable, but he is not stupid.I wanted you to rule Harvis, who would be confused, along with the supporters.

In conclusion, he looks at His Majesty in silence.Your Majesty looked terribly pale, whether Agnus was shocked or not.

"... why don't you just accept reality?

"....."

His Majesty shook his shoulders and turned his gaze towards me.He looks like a worried child and says, "I don't know what to do."

But this isn't Harvis.No nobles have ever agreed with his words, and there is no one who can conveniently defend them.

"Queen... aren't you upset to hear the truth about Agnus...?

Isn't that right now?

To put it plainly, His Majesty opened his eyes to astonishment.

"I've been telling you to discipline her strictly.Certainly, that was unexpected… but wouldn't it be the same as the child who thought there was a problem? "

Yes, I and some of them had a sense of crisis about Agnus's situation and complained to His Majesty.

"Who listened to them?Why didn't we find out what we were going to say, and we didn't withdraw our opinion. "

"Well, that's...."

"The reality is not that evil-doers are called good kings, as in the case of Goga.'Whoever gets the result is called the good king.'... no, let's put it this way."He who stands and stands to produce results is regarded as a good king."

Reality is not sweet enough to do just good."People who have spread good governance outwardly are appreciated," and of course, it is politics that is behind it.

"Dreams, hopes, ideals, etc., are also important.However, they are only "goals" and "aspirations" and must be covered with considerable mud in order to achieve them.... but His Majesty can't feel it. "

"I was doing my best!

"Yes, Your Majesty's own assessment is' yes'.But it doesn't make sense unless it leads to results. "

If you truncate it thoroughly, His Majesty will remain silent with an unconvinced expression.However, it is "results" that are appreciated, not "efforts".

Your Majesty must have made a mistake in the first place.Even if it ends with "effort," responsibility will arise.

"… Your Majesty. Harvis is a kingdom.That's why even if you're satisfied with "just trying", you're here.But on the contrary, do you realize that 'your responsibility is very heavy'? "

"... what?

"Whether the desired result is not achieved or something unexpected happens, I followed His Majesty's words.Your responsibility is so heavy... that it is more important than the king of another country.The excuse of 'pressing a king to blame' does not apply to anyone who complains. "

"Nah...."

"Other countries know that kingdoms are strong.But that's the same with Harvis.... don't forget.You're in a position to be blamed by Harvis. "

I stared at the majesty with cold eyes.Agnus was called the "Princess of Goga", but to me, His Majesty is more alive in the world of stories.

"'Decide things' means' the person who makes the decision is responsible '.Your words, your attitude... were you responsible for them?Your Majesty thinks Agnus is the culprit, but from the edge, 'the one who made the flow' is the most sinful.You're not the "perpetrator's parent," you're the "perpetrator."

Better yet, Agnus will be seen as a victim of his stupid parents.She was forced to "be a princess of the goga" by adults around her.

And yet, what is the person who is the most responsible?

Before you immerse yourself in personal grief, you should consider taking responsibility.

"So even if Ilfena wanted us dead, I'm not surprised at all.It's not like they're king and wife.Because he is the culprit who caused this situation and the one who could not stop it.There's no point in complaining if you're not listened to. "

I myself, as queen, have a shyness.Even if you are a pathetic queen who could not defeat the king, if you are to protect the country and the people, you will not spare your life.

Shame on you, but if you need me, why don't you kneel down and ask for forgiveness?No matter how miserable I may be as queen if I can protect what I have to protect with it, I will come proud of myself.

"We don't need regret or sadness.... you have no right to immerse yourself in such things. "

--So show yourself as a king at the end of the day.

That's what he says, laughs.That's the last thing we can do for Harvis, something that Agnus may remember.
