The Marquis’ Daughter Acts As A Pawn

The King's Council appears to be held in the same outhouse as it was when it was previously present.

Me and Edward hold hands amicably, whispering their wickedness, to the outhouse, and follow behind them with Master Cyrus in a busty face.

By the way, Alfred also told me to follow him to the King's Council, but he was rejected with all his might.

(I missed it this time, but I'll use the bash for you. You're the one who said you wanted to be my knight, Alfred)

When I'm giggling, Master Cyrus, who shouldn't be able to see his expression, squeals bossly.

"... I only have a bad feeling"

"Let's do what that hunch tells us. Hey, Julianna."

"Right, Edward."

"These problem children. Huh! I don't even care about people's worries!

I hear Dear Cyrus screaming sadly, but me and Edward willfully ignore him.

When I saw the door to the room where the King's Council would take place, there was Master Keel, who raised his hand with a refreshing smile.

"Yo, Ed! And do you have a daughter? Long time no see!

"Long time no see, Master Keel"

"Damn, what happened to the captain's job?

Instead of beating me out of poison by the appearance of Master Keel, Edward frowns and lowers his mood.

But Master Keel didn't care about that, he slapped Edward on the back thoughtfully.

"I'm not good with clerical matters. They kicked me out because I'm stuck in a situation like this. I told you to get to Ed's side because I'm in the way. Haha!

"Gu Ha, give it a little relief.... you really are a brain muscle"

"If you can get away from paperwork, thank your muscles! I'll take care of Ed."

"... Whatever you want"

Edward says so in a cold tone, but his face, seen from the side, had a slightly raised corner of his mouth.

I'm not really honest. I'm glad Master Keel is here.

"... Julianna. What are those eyes?"

You realize I was looking at Edward with a jittery eye, and with a strange face he looks at this one.

"Nothing. I just thought Edward had something cute to show you, too."

"... withdraw"

"I don't like it. I'm the only one who thinks of you."

When I smile back to deceive, I gently open the door.

Inside the room were His Majesty and Lady Dahlia, Linus, and his father. Less than before, but together we shall have all those present this time.

"Julianna!? And His Royal Highness..."

You still did not know that you had left the mansion, when my father looked at me and opened his eyes wide.

I grin back with dislike.

"Good day, Father. Did you enjoy placing your daughter under house arrest? I was so bored, I jumped out."

"Um... ah... no... why are you with His Highness Edward?

"Are you interested in me? You were under house arrest? I thought you didn't even want to see your face anymore."

"Oh, that's... to protect you"

"I know. But when did I tell you to protect me? I know enough to say I don't like that your father and Vee don't trust you."

Perhaps it was love as a parent that kept me away.

But I wanted you to believe me. And it would mean that my father wanted to show me strength enough to make me believe it.

(... Let's make up a little bit ahead)

I will shift my gaze from my father to His Majesty and Lady Dahlia, and I will pay my respects to the lady.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness. I'm so sorry that I suddenly pushed you to the King's Council."

"... good, Julianna. They are also part of the three pillars of the royal family. Eligibility is met"

"I have no objection either."

"Thank you"

I sit with Edward next to each other, and Master Keel refrains from serving as an escort behind him. Is Master Cyrus still angry, he sat down opposite us?

Lady Dahlia, who confirmed that everyone had taken their seats, raised her hand steadily.

"Now we begin the King's Council. The agenda concerns the Conference of Reconciliation of the Diaghilev Empire and the negotiations with the Revolutionary Government. Everyone is busy, so try to be concise."

"My Lady! That's the rest of the dialogue......!

"Your Majesty has a long and futile front door, so it is my concern"

"Terrible......!

"You seem to like it. Above all."

His Majesty is depressed, but Lady Dahlia doesn't look concerned either.

And keep looking at Edward with an emotionally unreadable eye.

"It is no exaggeration to say that this meeting is for Edward. First, show your intentions."

"Absolutely."

When Edward says so and stands up, he glows his empty eyes sharply, raising his hegemonic voice.

"I want to accomplish the grief of the Kingdom of Rolands. Together with the revolutionary government, we come to a rapprochement conference with the Diaghilev Empire to show the country itself as fundamentally transformed. So I... would like you to approve Edward Rolands' own trip to the Diagilev Empire."

Meditate his eyes not to leak word for word. His Majesty hears Edward's words, but when he opened his eyes again, he gave a strong and sharp glance like a king.

"Han. The rest is the other way around."

"... Father, why?

"It is certainly a fascinating story that will change the Diaghilev Empire from within. But your chances of dying are also high again. The second prince became the next king and the government is moving. If Edward dies, factional strife will intensify again. We must avoid that."

His Majesty also has a point.

If Edward dies, the third prince, His Highness Michelle, will be held next. But His Royal Highness Michelle, who has a side queen to her mother from the Baron's, has a weak back shield. That way, the man who tries to raise His Royal Highness Douglas, the first prince, who is in seclusion, will appear again.

"Me too... as a righteous queen, I cannot tolerate that. So let me disagree."

Then Lady Dahlia says pale.

His Majesty and Lady Dahlia struggled in factional strife. Therefore, it is not strange to turn to the opposite position.

(... When His Majesty and Dahlia disagree, it's hard for Edward to expand as he wishes)

As I thought, Linus, who had been silent for so long, raised his hand.

"As the representative of the Duke of Orcott family I am currently fighting for, I agree with His Highness Edward's will. It is indeed important to worry about the future of your country. But the future cannot be foreseen without cleaning up the current case. I respect Your Highness's readiness to be royal. The battle you must win now is not in the Royal Palace."

His Majesty silences the harsh opinion he sees from the Duke of Orcott's side.

I thought the wind direction had come this way, but soon Master Cyrus went in to stop it.

"It is unknown to what extent the revolutionary government can be trusted. Besides, the revolutionary government itself could be a trap. It is premature to send Master Edward in such circumstances. So I object as the next Duke of Inglotto"

"Again, Edward can't be lost"

His Majesty nodded and said so.

Then, now my father raises his hand.

"Julianna. Give me your opinion."

It is His Majesty that my father swears allegiance.

So after all, I wondered if my father would remain compliant with His Majesty's opinion. I don't know what your intentions are, but you've spoken to me.

(... maybe it's being tried?

I don't know if it's as the Marquis Marquis of Lewis, my daughter, or... Edward's fiancée.

When I breathe deeper, I put my heart straight on the word without fear.

"I turn to His Highness Edward's favor. At dawn, when he goes to the Diaghilev Empire, I will follow him."

"He said to follow Edward!?

"Yes, Your Majesty. I love him from the bottom of my heart."

"Oh, oh, oh, I love you. So oh!?

His Majesty raised his voice of surprise, but I smile like a lady without worrying.

"Of course, I know that the Diaghilev Empire side wants me with convenient blood muscles. … so please take up my status as Marquis Marquis de Lewis"
