The Queen’s Cosmetician

I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I

One, two, three. Decorative candlestick candles one after the other.Then, the light was extinguished from the magic lantern.It was to adjust the magic concentration in the room.

The small meeting room is the easiest to shine moonlight inside the Royal Palace of Del Ligeiría.The specially-built moonstone round table is an antique that was sleeping in the warehouse.In the center was a black hemispherical magic tool.From the dendritic pattern on the surface, a pale light peeks in.Blinking on the black surface, it was like a thunderbolt.

All the lights of magic were extinguished, and the brightness of the room dropped by a single level.

Vu, and a sound similar to the sound of a bug's wings resounded.

A total of six diamond-shaped plates glowing pale blue unfold in a lattice shape into the universe.Each board had its name engraved on it.Don Fan, Farril, Doppelgum, Zext, Zemnam, and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry - all countries surrounded by a roundtable at the Continental Conference, and the names of the listeners.The text color of the displayed name changes from blue to green.

The die stared at the Mariage sitting at the round table as if the magic tool was activating correctly.

Queen Mariage?

A line flashed across the board of Don Fan and the voice of the queen of the land resounded.

The sorcerer and the clerks in the room trembled without being able to hide their agitation.From the die's position, Rodimus's face was also slightly taut.Only Mariage is on the desk with her hands together and a flat face.She shook her head and called out to the voice of the Lord.

"Queen Farine... can you hear me?"

Yeah, very much.

Farine responded without even paying attention.

I can hear you, too.

A line runs on Zekst's board.The queen of the land exhaled with admiration.

"I can't believe it sounds so clear..."If you had this, you wouldn't have had to go to Little Scandinavia last time. ”

Queen Lovisa, don't say that.This is the kindness of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry because the friendship of various countries was confirmed at the last meeting. ”

I was so happy to see you all before.

The queen of Zemnam was Axelina, who spoke with a more vivid and lively tongue.

"The meeting was very good because a lot of people could interact. Isn't that right?

"-Yes, as the Queen Axelina said."

Another queen's voice interrupted the queens' conversation.

"Especially for a small country like ours, it was very meaningful in the sense of having the opportunity to make friendship with everyone.... hello, everyone. It's been about a year, but I'm so glad to hear you're looking good. ”

Me too, Queen Fortuna

Farril's Queen Lumiera gave her consent to the Doppelgänger Queen.Ryumiella laughed slightly on the other side of the board.After shaking the signs, I sighed.

It would have been more pleasant if it hadn't been for a meeting like this.

... I'm sorry to hear that, but let's leave the conversation to this point.

The air in the small conference room was filled with tears as Farine advanced.

"--There is no truth in what I've told you from now on, and nothing more can be accomplished than this......"

After ratifying the oath, Farine declares it strictly.

Now, I'm going to start the Continental Conference.

It was as if I could see the queens sitting at the round table with a steep expression on their faces.

The Ramadi Plain, halfway between the cities of Tartarza and Esmeralda, in Perfilia, was supposed to be a venue for peaceful talks between the two countries.The policy of restricting the influx of people, which is demanded by the Perfilian side, is also not in accordance with the principle of mutual cooperation, which was ratified at the last Continental Conference.Why did it turn into a military conflict?Intelligence agents on the ground have reported that the tent of talks suddenly exploded.Without knowing which side they were responsible for, the confused soldiers below were engaged.As Prime Minister Perfilia Ditrout Yerni's disappearance has been interrupted, the country holds the city of Esmeraldas in Clan Have accountable.Mayor Graham Esmel, who denied involvement, murdered Perfilia's envoy and went to war between the two countries.

The mayor of Esmeralda... certainly didn't seem very rational, but did he lack that calm?

The Queen of Zext leaks. Die doesn't face Graham Esmel properly except for his greeting.However, it was clear from the minutes that he was a man with a narrow field of vision and high self-esteem.

Mariage gently strokes the surface of the material in hand and gives her opinion.

"It doesn't make sense for us to argue about it if we don't see it."... the problem is coming. "

The first reports of Perfilia and Clan Have's war have disrupted every country.Del Ligueiria was no exception.Perfilia and Clan Haive are neighbors from Del Ligeigeigeia's point of view.In addition, especially, the two countries are large countries, and their size reaches roughly one quarter of the continent.At the time when Mazenburg, the patriarchate of the western continent, was still alive, the streets that stretched all over the continent were still in turmoil, and the traffic of the main points was divided. The two countries were in a skirmish at the border in the past.A few years after the ceasefire agreement.At the continental conference for peace, we agreed to extend the agreement, and we haven't waited a year.The abandonment of the content of the decisions of the Continental Conference by the powerful two countries can not waver even from other decisions taken at the Conference.

Make the cooperation system concluded at the previous meeting more robust.And to explore a concerted route toward the alleviation of the state of all-out war between the two countries.With these two items on the agenda, various adjustments were made, and the meeting was held until this remote continental conference was held.

Let's make a detailed check on the current situation - Borus?

On behalf of my Majesty, I would like to apologize to Borus Bernmek.

In response to Farine's call, the voice of the country's prime minister, the old man, resounded.

From my perspective, I would like to explain the current situation in our country from the perspective of Perfilia, Clan Have, and others.

The clerks refrained from standing beside the die in writing.

First of all, perfilia.

Die also pushed the faces of the gentle people in his brain to the corners of his consciousness, and took up the position of listening.

The movement of people is starting from Tartarza.To the west and to the north... the capital of the king.There is an unsupplied ship for intercontinental travel.In doing so, Perfilia lays a defensive line.There was a battalion near Tartarza.From there, the company scattered along the border to the east.Other customs posts have been sealed.The Queen Serenity seems to be struggling with the control of the moving people, and she won't come out of the conference room. "

You've done a lot of research.

The exclamation came from the Sairies.The female prime minister of Zemnam. The caretaker, easy-going but unassuming beauty in Little Scandinavia pursues Don Fan's Prime Minister sharply.

Did you seem to know that Chancellor Yerni was safe?

... what's your intention?

The Chancellor must be the pillar of Perfilia.The Queen Serenity is a masterpiece, but I don't think I can handle this alone.Depending on the prime minister's life and death, we must speed up the countermeasures. "

It must be true.... The Prime Minister is unaccounted for.I don't know if you're lying there, but I'm sure the situation is good.... with the Prime Minister, the general seems to be absent. ”

General?

"General Helmut Sagan - the General Secretary of the Knights of Perfilia.Apparently, Chancellor Yerni was accompanied by his benefactor. "

Elder of the famous family Sagan in Perfilia.A fashionable lover of monoculars.

- Uncle.

Mariage's hand held the die's fingertips behind her.Die looked down at his husband with only his eyes moved.She keeps her gaze on the plate projected into the cosmos.The die gripped Mariage's hand and let go, smiling inwardly.Returns his gaze to the board created from the magic tool.

My husband worries so much that I can't take care of him.

I wonder if the military is in control.

Fortuna lets out suspicion. Fortunately, Prime Minister Don Fan returned.

"I just don't know why Chancellor Yerni was with us."

It wasn't supposed to be a war meeting.It's no surprise that the Chancellor's escort was accompanied by a superior. "

"That said, the Prime Minister should have his own guards..."And if we weren't watching each other for the truth, we wouldn't have chosen the middle of the wilderness as the meeting place, not even for Tartarza Fort, not even for Esmeralda City Hall. ”

The Queen and the Chancellors were right about the exchange, and Die agreed in his heart.

Ditraut has a small number of guards, led by Zeno.The new arrivals we've added in the near future may be because they didn't have enough to put their trust in, but there's no reason to leave Zeno behind.They would have liked to follow Ditrout.

(I didn't take Zeno and the others because I felt the danger...?)

I wonder what will happen to the east of Perfilia when it begins to move, Chancellor Bernmec.

Mariage asks Borus. Die interrupted his silent thoughts and listened to his husband's voice.

“The eastern granaries of Perfilia are supposed to be in harvest.Any sign of a march? "

I don't know, I'm not watching that much.

It looks like you have something to worry about, Your Majesty King Mariage.

Sairies spoke out.

Mariage muttered with her chin on her hand.

“The territory of Perfilia was originally the territory of several countries.Perfilia itself stretches from the outskirts of the king's city to the east, and the rest should have been annexed six or seven years ago.Even though Perfilia itself has a policy of harmony, private sentiment should be different. "

Oh... I see. The feeling of the people is that the people who fled from the east can invade them... the march as a safety valve is a must.

Chancellor Farrill is on his own.

Mariage nodded.

"I don't think it's Queen Serenity who is watching the people clash, but if she hasn't turned her hand, then there will be civil unrest at worst."

The silence falls on Mariage's assertion.

... Next, I'll tell you about Clan Haive

After putting it somewhat, Borus resumed his explanation.

As you know, the clan is made up of six autonomous cities, but the advance of Esmeralda has led to the disintegration of the parliament.

Disassembly? Not conflict?

"Goodbye, Prime Minister Wesp."

Bols gave Prime Minister Zekst his affirmation.

"Towards the convergence of this situation, the municipalities refused to open the meeting.The city has closed its gates.Rural areas have been hit by people fleeing from the northern city of Esmeralda. "

”Are you... setting up such a bystander?”

Farrill's queen shudders with disbelief.

She was strangely told by the prime minister of Don Fan.

It's still fine if you're on the sidelines.Several people abandoned their jobs and fled because of the murder of Graham Esmel, Mayor of Esmel. "

”... is that true?”

Unfortunately

Faline answered Fortuna's question on behalf of the Prime Minister.

The city of Esmeralda was devastated by Perfilia's march.Five cities remain, with few decent answers.The only thing that is calm is the city of Luglois. ”

Reina Luglova ruled the city. A city covered in yellow sand along the banks of the Luglova River.

Mariage asks with wrinkles between her brows.

“Has Mayor Luglois made any statement about this incident?”

Nothing. I'm here to keep silent until it's even more creepy.

"I wonder what Ineka Ria-El did to the Speaker.... did you not get in touch with me? "

Ineca Ria-El, who attended the last Continental Conference as Queen of the Shadows of Clan Haves.She was a woman who valued co-operation with other countries, as opposed to the mayors of cities.Even if the mayor were to leave, she would have come to this meeting and shown a willingness to converge - as usual.

She's missing.

Farine muttered in a sigh.

No, originally, it was a person who was moving around the Clan Have.However, at the last meeting, the direct power stone was registered. But...... ”

No response?

The sorcerer says... the vital response is...

Whether the stone used to contact was shattered, or whether the registered person's life was taken.

Sairies asked a question.

... where was the last known location?

It looks like Esmeralda City. It was just before the war started. "

”...... may I have one?”

Fortuna speaks. If I were in front of you, I would have raised my hand.

Our country has a chapter and we have information.... the signing between the two countries, it seems that Chancellor Yerni's opponent is not Mayor Esmer, but Mayor Luglova. "

Fortuna holds the national emblem and is headed by Fabien Barnier, a foreign affairs officer.He is the bearer of foreign information in Doppelgänger.

... why is Mayor Luglois here?

Perfilia's closest neighbor is Esmeralda.That is why the signing site was also set up halfway between Esmeralda City and Tartarza.The city of Luglois, on the other hand, was at a distance from Tartarza.There are not many reasons for the mayor to go out of his way.

Chancellor's instructions?

I don't know... I wouldn't listen to her.

But Raina Luglois, who was at the heart of it, kept silent.

Mariage puts her fist into her mouth and shuts up.

"... why is Clan Haive fighting Perfilia?"

Rodimus, who had been staring at the meeting until now, questioned it.

“The city of Esmeralda has collapsed, the cities have been silenced, and the parliament has been disintegrated.The chairman is missing. So, where are the armies that are colliding with Perfilia? Who gives you the instructions? "

The Church of Our Lady

Bols answered.

This is a complicated place.The soldiers attacking Tartarza are former knights who used to come from the west, such as Zarija.It seems that the Church of Our Lady absorbed it... but as a mercenary, it was incorporated into the army from Esmeralda City. "

It's even more questionable if you're a mercenary. If the employer was absent, the reason for attacking Perfilia might have been lost. "

That's right, Your Majesty King Lovisa, it seems that they did not participate for money.

What if it's not for the money?

«Jihad, war and war»

The small meeting room is bursting with bursting air.

It will be the same for any country.

What are you talking about?

"It's a great battle for the Church, His Majesty King Axelina."

"... does the invasion of Perfilia have anything to do with the resurrection of the Holy Maiden?"

... the resurrection of the Holy Maiden?

Prime Minister Farril reacts.Yeah, Mariage nodded.

"I wonder if you've all heard of it."At this point, the resurrection of the Holy Maiden is whispered in the Church of the Holy Maiden.That people's prayers would prompt the resurrection of the Holy Mother.... right, die "

Yes.

Asked to explain, Die opened his mouth.

"When the Saintess is resurrected by praying - there are signs of this - it is now a quiet rumor among the folk grass.If you ask me, there are children who have been enlightened by prayer. "

Is that true?

The queen of Don Fan is strangled.

The die shook its head loosely.

"Just think of it as a rumor of Ichii, Majesty King Farine."But... I heard that the voice of the Holy Maiden swells day by day, and in some places it has a strange atmosphere. "

The first person to bring the rumor to die's ear was Ditrault.He was struggling with the influence of the church of Our Lady, which swelled within Perfilia.At that time, I was trying to escape from Perfilia, so I didn't pay much attention to the die, but when I heard Lilith Carson telling me the same thing when I returned to Del Ligeiria, I felt disgusted.

- A strange movement is spreading in secret.

It is known to the representatives of various countries that the die is from Ichii.It seems that they understood the rumor of the Church of Our Lady to have come from Die's hometown.There was no deep pursuit.

”... the rumors aren't very good.”

Farine moaned with a bad toothache.

With the opening of this war, many displaced people were born again.Many of them would have sought the salvation of the church of Our Lady of Asairam. "

The Asairam is a sanctuary run by the Church of Our Lady.In the spirit of the Mercy of Our Lady, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry is more active in protecting the displaced.

If the Church of Our Lady is preaching the resurrection of Our Lady... it will eventually break the spirit of self-help of the protected.

Of course, the country supports its people.

But if they don't stand on their own someday, they're going to fall in love.

"... would you like to suspend the meeting for a moment?"

Mariage proposes.

No one disputed it.
