The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen Who Will Become the Source of Tragedy Will Devote Herself for the Sake of the People
206. The bargaining prince is wolfish.
I didn't even know what to do anymore.
"... I understand the story.
Between glances.
The queen of the kingdom of Friesia nodded quietly to me after she had finished reporting all the current state of my kingdom of Sursis.
News I heard from the messenger this morning along with the writ. Only one, however, falsely followed Pride's instructions.
Pride.
... "Still in time," he said. Having said that, she entrusted the guard with the task of obtaining permission to see the queen and then withdrew my hand to this point.
Between the sights, King Albert and his wife, Chancellor Gilbert, Regent Vest, and Prince Style, who was studying as the next Regent, would have been deliberating about our country. The pride that has pulled my hand is beside the queen like yesterday... not lined up next to me and slapped me on the back not yet ready in front of the queen.
This morning, it was sudden.
It was the messengers who rushed in with the letters from my country, Sursis. I knew it, I thought you were just here to take me back for flying out of the country on your own, but... no.
Twelve days ago now, the messengers of the Kingdom of Copelandi set foot in our country again. Just two days after I left the country. He told me to expedite the invasion of the kingdom of Chinensis by nine days, then decide whether to surrender or become a subordinate state.
And right after that. My brother… King Lance Silva Lowell suddenly went mad just before he tried to catch a carriage to return from the castle of the kingdom of Chinensis to the kingdom of Sursis. I've never seen my brother upset before. And yet, suddenly.
To the crisis in the United Hanazoo kingdom, with my unsolicited actions, the respite of the kingdom of Chinensis has shrunk… it's only been a year since I took office as king.... put extra effort into it, it's on me.
After two days, my brother's condition remained unchanged, and the kingdom of China, King Joan Lynne Dwight, unilaterally destroyed his alliance with our country.... to see what a cornered brother looks like, just us... just to keep the Kingdom of Sursis out of the war.
Furthermore, the kingdom of Chinensis has cemented its willingness to surrender fully to the Kingdom of Copelandi, he said.
... I can't make it anymore.
The rest is only six days.
From Friesia to our country, you can run a horse for ten days. Eight or nine hours to the kingdom of Anemone. Minimum of five days if you are lucky enough to rent a ship from there.... Honestly, I even waste time doing this right now.
In addition, my country's credibility has fallen because of my stupid imitation in the first alliance negotiations, and I have two days left to put in today… Freesia needs time for deliberation.
If you wait until the deliberation, you won't be sure to make it if you can borrow a boat from Anemone. If the Kingdom of Friesia sent out reinforcements now, I don't even know if the kingdom of Anemone, such as a large ship capable of carrying such an army, would send them right out. Even if borrowed, it is possible that everything was already over when we arrived in our country.
"The situation is imminent, isn't it?... but as I told you the other day, this person is still checking the situation. Vests and stiles are squeezing me a lot...
It will be difficult to speed up the day, and I hold my fist intolerably to the words of the queen who goes on. Again, I won't return the credit I lost once.... I just got a crappy grip.
"So I'm sorry, but we need you to wait until tomorrow.
... Wait?
Doubt the Queen's words.
Wait? Wait. What do you mean? I won't be able to make it to the battle at the earliest possible time.
Or are you going to persuade the Kingdom of Copelandi or the Radiya Empire after the Kingdom of China becomes a dependent state? But I'm not talking about a lot of things like letting go of the territory I took once. That's not even going to be the war between Freesia and Radiya this time.
My question caught on with my throat, confused and not even my voice. And yet the Queen keeps talking like nothing is going on with "it and".
"Earlier, … the kingdom of Sursis said the king was" suddenly ill, "and now he can't even talk.
The Queen's words continue.
Yes, I did say that. He concealed his brother's distractions as instructed by Pride and falsely told the Queen that he was "suddenly ill". It's only a matter of time before they find out about my brother.
Perhaps Pride distracted me when he saw me disturbed by my brother's distractions. At least my pity for me trying to hide the shame of my country, … I spoiled it, even though I understood that. When I flew out of the country on my own, I didn't want to expose myself to my brother's shame as well as national circumstances.
"If, then, the king remains the same when we visit the Kingdom of Sursis, I will form an alliance with you, the first heir to the throne after King Lance.
"Become…………"
I'm stuck with the queen's words. It's impossible for me to replace my brother, to proceed with an alliance I've met on my own without my brother's permission, etc.
"There's just one problem.
To the words of the queen, who cares not for my confusion, the surroundings nod without question, and the story proceeds. Why does no one point to the Queen's words? By and large, what does "just one" mean? Time is running out, even though it's just countless challenges.
"In fact, last night, I received a letter from the Radiyan Empire.
"From the Radiyan Empire..."
Stand in the name of a sudden hated enemy. Why, at this time, from Radiya...
Pride surprised me as well as me, and for the first time she heard the Queen's words back.
"Yes, there have been interviews from the Radian Empire that I would like to deepen the interaction with... this time" for some reason, specifically, when visiting our country, I wanted to visit to say hello to our castle. Plus, the date and time is just six days from now.
On the queen's signal, the beside Regent Vest took out the writ. Probably from the Radian Empire.
"I hope you've cut the period of respite for nine days,... it's like this one... no, the movement of the United Hanazoo kingdom is slipping through.
"Impossible. Our country is a closed country. The only messengers from the Kingdom of Copelandi who have set foot in our country have also checked the gatekeepers into the carriage and are watching until the guards leave the country."
There can be no such thing as someone sneaking into the country. Even in the unlikely event of this, is there something like me or my brother... who knows all the royal moves? The possibility of remaining is that we have a traitor in our country… but that's not possible either! There's no reason why even that rotten former superior could do that in our closed country...
"But it just applies. His Royal Highness Prince Cedric II.
My confusion, now Chancellor Gilbert advances. Drop light water colored hair and turn back to me based on the paperwork. Chancellor Gilbert began to talk in an orderly fashion if he asked what that meant.
"It was two weeks ago that His Highness left the country to go to our country. For example… if someone had confirmed somewhere that His Highness had left the castle, flying birds, reporting to the Kingdom of Copelandi as soon as possible, and the Kingdom of Copelandi informing the United Hanazoo Kingdom that it would take another two days on horses from there to speed up the deadline.... because it would be easy to entrust it to a bird if it was about two days away with a horse. It is also easy to imagine that the heavy town of Radiya is staying in the Kingdom of Copelandi for the invasion. If, at the same time that the Kingdom of Copelandi finds out, the Radian Empire finds out that His Highness has made his way to Friesia, from the Kingdom of Copelandi to our country, around thirteen days by horse.... This also fits perfectly.
Of course, it's all hypothetical, but my stomach is badly distorted and swayed by the Prime Minister's words that go on. But why... how did you even get to where I was going?
"... well, let's just say we think about it after all. More now, six days after that.
The queen shakes her head vertically in the words of Chancellor Jilbert. Six days later, that is, on the day of invasion of our country, the Radian Empire will visit the Kingdom of Friesia.
"The Radiya Empire has its own states and colonies all over the world, but its own country is far away. You can't miss this opportunity to advance peace. I thought I would negotiate peace with the Radian Empire in the last six days… but the invasion on the same day means I cannot take reinforcements to the United Kingdom of Hanazoo.
It's like, you showed it to each other. and the whining queen is stuck with words. This means that even if the Kingdom of Friesia could send out reinforcements two days later, there would be no queen there. Then I can't make an alliance. Waiting for the Radiyan Empire in its own country, even if it made peace, by the time peace was informed by the Kingdom of Copelandi, the Kingdom of China had already surrendered completely, … after it had become a colony.
Then the Queen will go to our country with reinforcements for the sake of the alliance, and there will be nothing more comforting if we take command together. Huh, but before that, I still don't know if I'll make it in six days.
"Mother, then I have a suggestion.
Pride will speak from next to me. Rin's voice sounded, turning around and she looked straight at the queen.
When the queen allows herself to speak, she stretches her chest. And an unmistakable, straight voice rocked me.
"I will lead reinforcements to the United Kingdom of Hanazoo with His Royal Highness Prince Cedric as the Queen's deputy.
What are you talking about?
"In the meantime, please, Mother, negotiate peace with the Radiyan Empire in our country. Me and the Knights, together with the Kingdom of Sursis and the Kingdom of Chinensis, prevent invasion.
I'll give the Knights directives and orders from now on. I doubt her sanity to tell.
What are you talking about? She's not even the queen, she's the first princess. Though the first heir to the throne... no, Ning Ro, then it would be dangerous to go to our country with me...
In her remarks, even Regent Vest and King Albert, Chancellor Gilbert, … and Prince Steele opened their eyes to surprise. Only the queen stares back at her with a calm look.
"That means you're going to the battlefield instead of me. Danger is also adjacent.... Naturally, you know what I mean?
"Yes, Mother. But as the next queen, one day is the way to go.... because our country will not always have a peaceful world.
"That's best if you don't have to go through it," the queen muttered to Pride's words, sighing in a small way. For the first time, I feel like I've seen this human side of the queen.
"... I thought you would say that. Let us forgive you. Stick, however.... you know what this means?
Something, the Queen compares pride to the First Prince of Style so that it has inclusions. Taking it, Prince Steele nodded, "Of course," and Pride nodded heavily as well.
"Heh... please wait."
I can't stand it, and at last I speak up as much as I can.
Why is it so easy for them to decide?
Everyone turns to my voice. More than ten eyes and gaze at a time, my shoulders swayed unexpectedly.
"Thank you very much for making so many decisions for our country. But we don't have time for this anymore! Please, forgive me for returning home."
"I don't mind, but it's much quicker to wait in our country until tomorrow than to arrange a boat or carriage home now.... because we'll still be in time enough.
Thoughts filled white with the words of the queen who would paint my speech.
... What do you mean...?
The queen smiled quietly at me as the words stopped and confused me as to how I should cast my doubts without understanding.
"His Royal Highness Prince Cedric II. Now we're still halfway through alliance negotiations.... you can't reveal everything. But when we decided to sign the alliance,
The queen rises quietly. The figure was full of majesty, and there was a majestic being there that did not make him feel old.
"For the sake of our allies.... We in the Kingdom of Friesia will spare no cooperation. Let us have as much of our country as we can to support the United Kingdom of Hanazoo.
The queen laughs, she turns an invincible grin on me.
Everyone nodded quietly at it as a matter of course, bowing their heads to the Queen.
At this time, I still didn't know.
Why, until a few years ago, has the Kingdom of Friesia not been subject to crusade or invasion, even though it has been alerted by neighbouring countries?
With so much land and resources and so little allies at the time, why?
Were you able to keep this vast expanse of national territory intact without allowing a single invasion in the past?
"Please wait, Your Highness Prince Cedric II. Tomorrow, my country, the Kingdom of Friesia, is on your side.
I was overwhelmed by the queen's words, and all I could do was snort.
... and I will know.
The only country in the world with a "special ability", the kingdom of Friesia, the great power.
That, the heart.
