The Marquis’ Daughter Acts As A Pawn

"So much so that we can let the invitations dive into the letter, that the revolutionary government is eating inside the Diaghilev Empire, right?

"Oh, they don't call it 'government' Dada. The revolution does not seem to be a dream story. Julianna, look at the ribbon."

If you look seriously at the ribbon that was decorated on the invitation, it was small, embroidered and dated about half a month ago now and the text "Wait on Third Street of the Imperial City" was sewn on it.

"... I see"

I, too, get caught by Edward to deepen my grin.

Because I was able to get to what he was thinking and why.

"Edward needs to replace the country itself, the Diaghilev Empire, right?

"That's my idea. But I wonder about the revolutionary government side. Maybe he wants to destroy his country without a trace."

"From a handful of invitations, you don't look like a ghost pursuing revenge or a beast hungry for wealth and fame. Reasonable... but bold strategist. The Revolutionary Government doesn't seem to be an easy match to use."

"That's why I'm here, isn't it? He's a man of good faith."

"I often say it's soggy. In exchange for the great danger, I'm going to use it all up."

Alfred reluctantly raised his hand as me and Edward were tapping each other lightly.

"Um, I'm sorry about the excitement. What the hell does His Highness Edward want...?

"Fulfilling the Grief of the Kingdom of Rolands"

"Dear Edward. That doesn't explain it..."

Master Cyrus looked at Edward with few words and sighed heavily.

And Master Cyrus shoots through me and Alfred with determined eyes.

"The Diaghilev Empire is an invading nation. The opposing Kingdom of Rolands was founded to resist that invasion. Believe that you will never give in to the Empire. Our peace of mind does not come as long as the Empire exists. Eliminating the threat of the Diaghilev Empire is the grief of the Kingdom of Rolands. It is the mission of our royal nobility."

"Cyrus is tough to say, but that's more or less what it is"

I turned my gaze toward Edward, who nodded aloud.

"The second prince, who bears the prestige of the country, goes to the harmony conference. Take hands with the revolutionary government on that road, judge 'evil' amicably, and bring in a fresh breeze. Empires perish, and the Kingdom of Rolands takes off threats from its founding. The second prince who accomplished it would be a wonderful king. Oh, the great Second Prince. Glory be to the Kingdom of Rolands... is that Edward's script?

"Okay?

"No way. If I were in charge of this stage, I would have made such a cliché."

"Why?

Edward was sure of his expression, with his doubts in his mouth.

He also understands that there is a hole in this script.

"You know what I mean, right? The Diaghilev Empire isn't sweet enough to dance the way you want. It would be more realistic for you to be assassinated on your way to a rapprochement conference."

"... right. First of all, the pawn is overwhelmingly short. Because of the anticipated war, talented people and nobles must remain in the country. On terms equal to a one-way ticket, anyone I can take is close to zero."

"... as the next Duke of Inglotto, I can't keep up with Dear Edward"

Master Cyrus looked down regrettably.

You must really want to be there for Edward.

But that's not what Edward wants. Master Cyrus is an excellent nobleman in charge of this country, and the companion of your sister Sherry. And the father of a child who might welcome him to the royal family.... you can't lose it.

(... Hopefully Edward won't go to the harmony conference if we keep track of the original. That's not gonna happen. Sounds like a situation.)

And when I stood up, I walked to the window.

Below you will find a beautiful garden that has been maintained and, in the distance, the rich town of the King's Capital.

But if the war begins, the garden may be desolate, and the king's capital may be engulfed in flames. That is one of the futures that the royal family must avoid the most.

"... the war in Orcot territory is not fragrant, is it?

"That's remarkable."

Edward blushed his shoulder deliberately.

"I was hoping for rumors that the province was rough, the people's lives were bitter, and the Diaghilev Empire was weakening... Apparently, he was rooting his budget in armaments. The Orcots are forced to struggle."

When Master Cyrus hears it and nods, he reads the material at hand.

"Agents dispersed by civilians also seem to be leaping and disturbing the battlefield. There are also reports that some of the enemy generals possess exceptional force and control, and that pure collisions continue to be balanced."

"Dear Cyrus, what is the status of the Rolands Army as well as the Knights reinforcements?

Reinforcements and supplies have arrived and this is our report.

"... that's tough."

The prestigious Duke of Orcott family of the best martial arts in the Kingdom of Rolands. Naturally, the army defending the territory is also comparable to the national army - or more powerful. If they ever break through the defense of the Orcot army, the Bureau moves heavily towards the defeat and extinction of the Kingdom of Rolands.

In order not to fall into such a situation, I would like to establish a system of cooperation with the revolutionary government, albeit non-existent.

Everything, for the Kingdom of Rolands.

"That's why I want to make different paths before the war gets muddy. Live tracts are not given by God. It is the light that shines at the end of the actions of the various. I'm the royal one, and I'm the best."

"But Master Edward doesn't have to move himself..."

Master Cyrus looked at Edward with worried eyes.

But he catches his eyebrows and exposes his anger.

"That's terrible! Nobles and clerks...... still make young Michelle a messenger? Then we cannot make decisions that shape the country. You must think the revolutionary government has been insulted. Even if we go to a harmony conference, the Giagilev empire will easily rebel, such as the promises made to those who have a light identity. Not even Michelle. He's nominating me as his messenger. The Kingdom of Rolands is a hipster, they just insult me......!

"So you're telling us to lose Ed!

Master Cyrus stared at losing and Edward.

"We are nowhere in the world, such as replacing Prince Edward II, whom we recognized as our next king! The Diaghilev Empire does not want negotiations or anything else. Your life is your purpose. Even if it is an invitation from the Revolutionary Government, the possibility of a trap cannot be abandoned!

"But I'm royal. If there is a thread in front of you that could accomplish the grief of the Kingdom of Rolands, you can't help but grab it no matter how fine it is."

"... Opinions are broken among royalty. At the forthcoming King's Council, I will turn to the opposite position as the next Duke of Inglotto."

"... you stonehead!

"Stonehead is fine. Because it's better than being a reckless working fool."

Edward and Lady Cyrus slipped away like children when they hit each other with anger.

And when I saw it, and laughed, I lifted up my hand gently.

"Then let me turn to yes"

"Miss Julianna!? Are you saying we can lose Master Edward......!

"Oh, Master Cyrus. Can you not get me wrong?

I go as far as the side of Master Edward, and take his right hand, and drop his mouth on his hand like a knight.

"If the odds of victory are low, let me help. I will use every pawn I use to lead you to victory. Even in the end, me and Edward are together. Isn't that right?

"That's a fervent rhetoric, Prince"

"'Cause I'm in love with you"

"It makes me happy"

Edward rises up and gently draws me with his gripping hand.

"Okay, Julianna. Shall we continue to the King's Council?"

"Oh, am I eligible to attend the Marquis de Lewis on the verge of breaking my engagement?

"I do. It's just a rumor that the engagement is broken. There's no way I'm letting Julianna go."

"Well said."

Edward walked out escorting me as he did when he had a lying gentleman grin -
