The Old Knight of a Frontier District

Lesson 3: The Empress's Wish (Part II) "Illustration: Julelant"

If that's true, I'm glad to hear it.

If you don't have any problems, you can carry them as long as you want.

Even if there's a problem, there's no way Baldo can fix it.

What the hell do you want me to do?

If the princess says she likes Jules Rant, you can go home to the Empire and talk to her father.

If there is no problem with the fringe itself, it will examine the possibilities through the muscles it should be.

The results may or may not come together, but I can't predict that to Baldo.

"This fringe is hard to cut out of the Imperial side.

He is the firstborn son of the king of heroes of the kingdom of Parzam, and will soon become a standing son.

Besides being a regular general of the upper army, I hear that you have held numerous distinguished positions.

Though the son of the king of the empire of Goriola, the throne inheritance ranks low for the youngest son, a princess who does not have a special status.

If you cut it out of the imperial side, you'll also need a fair amount of money.

No, more than that.

If you sign up, will you fulfill it and take it?

Judgment as marital policy, of course, but more than that.

I mean, that.

I don't know.

Not at all, if Your Highness loves the princess.

Whether we can be a happy couple.

Also, of course, the princess is a wonderful geek on that street, so I don't think His Highness will necessarily like it either.

I hear you have a lot of hobbies.

Besides, you may already have a crush. "

I felt a slight glimpse of the mundane Doria Tessa.

Does that mean asking Bardo what he thinks of Princess Shernelia, Jules Rant?

And if it feels good, even write to me.

"No way!

I can't do such a thing as smear a sentence (fumi) from a princess.

No, of course, that's not the case if you have a project involving official business, but if you write a letter and the end of it means marriage, it means it's an affair that started with writing a sentence from the princess.

That's not a good idea.

So, hopefully not.

That.

That is.

Could you please bring the princess and His Royal Highness together?

That way, the princess will be able to confirm her feelings once again.

Your Highness can also know how wonderful the princess is.

Perhaps His Royal Highness has killed the fringe from within and outside the country.

This is a great opportunity. "

This was an offer that Bardo could not understand.

They're already face-to-face.

After the competition, I hear there will now be a dinner party at the invitation of the Imperial Goriola.

Even then, we'll be able to face each other and talk.

Dinner parties and tea parties may be held during competitions.

"Talks between royalty are not as easy as that.

The dinner party is exactly what it is, the two organizers are lined up beside each other but never face to face, and it's almost decided when to talk about what.

If you don't even have official business, but you take the liberty of a dinner party, etc., it will be about what the knights of both countries are doing in a place where they compete for martial arts at the stake of their lives.

Also, it becomes too much of a question which one of you called to see each other.

I can't make a move.

But here is Lord Bardo.

Lord Bardo is known in our country as the emperor of the martial arts god Mada-Veli.

You helped me on a mission for the princess, so I owe it to the princess.

Also, be the master of His Highness Jules Rant and guide him or something.

Even if Lord Bardo personally invited Princess Shernelia and His Royal Highness Juleland to greet him, it is not at all unnatural "

It's unnatural!

In which world is there a wandering knight who calls upon the princess of a great kingdom and the prince of another great kingdom to come up with tea and drink?

And for a moment I felt like yelling, but I suppressed my feelings.

It's not a bad story, even if it's a glamorous way of doing things, if that gives the two of us the opportunity to make sure of each other's thoughts as we stand up for the two countries.

Doesn't matter if it's a clown for that matter, it sticks.

Most importantly, it is not necessarily that the very fact of the interview between the two of them is harmless.

Jules Rant will judge the area.

Anyway, I'll talk to His Highness Jules Lant. I answered and asked what bothered me.

I was wondering if this was the idea of Lord Doriatessa.

"Absolutely.

When the princess said that, speaking of which, Sir Baldo Lowen was also kind to His Highness Jules Lant, she flickered. "

Hmm.

Grandma Ketta would have steered Grandpa Bangor this way, too.

With that in mind, I saw the makeup box I put on my desk.

It contains colored squared sugar.

It's Baldo's favorite right now.

I thought I'd have to work for this sugar.

6.

"Jitter.

That's not a bad story.

Hmm.

Not bad.

It's troublesome to be introduced to anyone, but it's not troublesome if you're serious. "

Julelant replied to Bardo, who had cut out an errand.

I am currently in the process of having an affair with the two Duke's daughters, but I asked if that was okay.

"Oh.

Did you ask Zaifert?

That's right.

You're a belly for the throne in the next generation.

That's why I want the seat of the Queen.

Even if you don't, you can put it in the back palace first and you can do whatever you want.

So they say the other fringe is crushed.

But it also has a lot of influence over its counterparts outside the country.

I didn't think it would be easy to get bullied into the House of the Duke of Notre Dame.

The princess of Goriola can welcome you to the Queen.

They'll be together. "

I asked him if he should not let it happen again.

"I don't know, but should I keep my report somewhat in line?

Let's give Chantillion the right to inherit the throne.

Granting the right to inherit the throne is a sovereign matter of the king.

The senate approves the nomination and turns to the king for a ruling.

It is also a great honour and, above all, in the unlikely event that it reaches the throne.

If Your Majesty and I both die suddenly, you will agree because Your Majesty said Chantillion was the best. "

I asked him what the kings' intentions were.

"For His Majesty the King of Goriola, I guess we don't even wish to talk about it.

That country and ours each have a pile of immediate problems.

It's a wish to be related to a lousy nobleman and get involved in the other person's situation.

But if it's me, it's different.

Anyway, this is your chance to be the next king's cousin.

That's a long and short for us.

They have a low mother's identity, and a low right to inherit the throne at the last princess, so it's hard for Parzam to be a pretext for intervening in Goliola, and this one is hard for them to talk to.

So his qualities become problematic. "

Then I asked her what she had done with Princess Shernelia.

"That's pretty good.

I pretended to talk to the samurai to convey my appreciation for cooking and preparing, and subtly made her care about this one's health.

Beautiful appearance too.

I also liked the old fashioned way in which I used the scratch as a companion.

Tell her Jules Rant liked the princess a lot.

But I don't know how to bridge love.

Doesn't look good. "

Jules Rant laughed out loud when she was alone in saying that she didn't look good with this old bone.

After the third day of the competition, we were to meet in Bardo's room.

I decided not to serve food and drink.

They're going to have poisonous clerks lined up all the time in both countries if they decide to let it out.

I'm not kidding.

The third day of competition is in the strike weapons sector.

Today's armoury storage area is truly busy.

Because Battleax, Battlehammer, Club, Flail, etc. are lined up narrowly.

Even if you take one Battleax, there are different shapes of things that you put away.

There doesn't seem to be anything long.

Speaking of which, the flail system has a long range.

Bardo couldn't stand the temptation and saw it nearby with the permission of the referee.

I was forbidden to touch it, but I wanted to see if it really lifted, such as the biggest stick (club).

What a contestant chose that super large stick.

The knight of the kingdom of Parzam.

His opponent in the first war was a Morningstar user with a shield in one hand.

Foolishly, he was blown off a shield trying to prevent a blow from a giant stick with a shield.

My wrist would be badly damaged, too.

Still wielded the Morningstar to add the offense.

The giant stick warrior lifted the stick without touching the planet and shook it down.

The blow hit the opponent's helmet directly.

The opponent creeped out and stopped moving.

The presiding judge immediately declared the victory of the giant stick warrior and called for a medic.

Luckily, I seem to have saved my life.

In the end, a giant stick warrior won.

The semi-finalist was the Knight of Goliola, who uses two Battleaxes.

Evening.

It is Baldo's room.

On the other side of the table, facing Baldo, Jules Rant and Shernelia are seated.

In the four corners of the room there is one knight of Parzam, one knight of Goriola, one samurai of Goriola, and Jurchaga.

It feels very narrow, but this is the least of it.

Outside the room are knights, pharmacists and others from both countries lined up all the time.

At today's meeting, Jules Rant talks to Bardo.

Shernelia also talks to Bardo.

Julant and Shernelia don't have direct conversations.

I mean, each of them just talked to Bardo, and Julant and Princess Schernelia didn't have a meeting.

"Jitter.

I hear you traveled from Linz to around the Great Lordship of Yadbargi.

It would have been tough to cross the mountain valley on the border.

Are mountains and trees different in the south and north? "

and Jules Rant asked.

I'm telling you as I understand it, Jules Rant didn't know anything about the Great Lord Yadovalgi until this time either.

I guess I've studied quite a bit since I went to Parzam.

Bardo replied that he didn't even think the shape of the mountain was so different, but that the trees growing felt like there were many thin trees of leaves stretching so straight north.

"Hmm.

So I guess blooming flowers are also different in the south and north.

What about planting southern flowers to the north "

This looks like a question to Bardo, and it's not.

I supposedly am asking Shernelia if she is willing to daughter-in-law to the kingdom of Parzam, which has a different climate and culture, and what problems there are.

So Bardo said, let's say it's better than flowers.

"Master Bardo.

Doria Tessa said that when she was with you, she had excellent and delicious food every day.

In the north and south, do dishes taste different? "

And now Princess Shernelia asked.

Bardo answered slightly politely.

Tastes different depending on the river where the same fish lives.

Salt also tastes different where it can be picked.

Different regions have different ways of cooking and flavors of preference.

I don't know about the west of Ova, but if you stay far south and north, the food should taste quite different.

"Will Bardo be able to get used to different flavors anywhere?"

After a few thoughts, I gave a real example and replied.

In the Great Lordship of Exera, not bread cooked by smelling flour, but the fruits of the plan cooked in water are often eaten.

I had a habit of flavoring, and shortcomings such as stiffness as soon as I took the time, and I didn't find it tasty at all at first.

But one time, I came across a cooking plan that seemed good.

That's a strange thing to do, and if the plan wasn't with me, I'd be missing enough to eat the food in the land.

I learned how delicious the liquor made with the plan can feel, and that it is the plan liquor that most enhances the flavour of the local cuisine.

From then on, I began to think that the land had the right ingredients for the land and there was a way to cook.

And the liquor of the land became what I thought was best to taste along with the dishes of the land.

"Well, it's a nice story.

I would also like to go to a new land and taste the cuisine of the land in the way it is done.

It may be fine at first, but I'm sure you'll see what it tastes like in a while.

Besides, Master Bardo.

This is a long way from here, but if you season the ingredients in the land with my country, you might get a new dish. "

Jules Rant laughed when she heard the words.

I guess it's funny that this princess isn't just a princess who quietly becomes a good husband.

Then the conversation went on for a while.

There were interactions that made sense to Bardo, and there were interactions that I didn't understand.

It's a very troublesome indirect conversation, but we seem to have learned what we wanted to know from each other and told them what we wanted to tell them.

By the time I sent them both out, Bardo was exhausted.

I poured the roasted liquor down my throat, grabbed the sugar, and thought Jules Run, who was well adapted to the world, was just fine.
