The Queen’s Cosmetician

Fewer than D'Artagnan's eyes.

That was how Fabian felt when he left the king's city through the main gate.

And Daddan said that the host of the armies of Perfilia was about five thousand, and more than ten thousand. There were about a thousand more troops in the area that could be seen from the front gate of the capital city of Perfilia. Apart from the north, which is bordered by the sea, if you spread the same forces in the south and east, it will be at least 5,000. On the map, there is a small town in the south not far away, so it is predicted that there may be 10,000 if another corps is stationed there.

But the thousand people in front of this gate are the same flag that the Fabians used earlier.

Most of them had armor and flags on them.

(But neither Daddyan nor the Chamber of Commerce is stupid.)

But if they were deceived in an instant, if they were five thousand, there were many of them. The precision of the information handled by [Country Without Borders] is well known to Fabian, who hates it, thanks to the care he received during the Doppelgänger founding.

Everywhere, a knight stepped forward from the ranks of the Perfilian army in a flash of gaze.

Behind the knight was an archer holding a bow. Under the twilight, the bow pattern appeared to rise to a pale green color. It was a weapon with magic characters engraved on it. Power, distance, or both should be enhanced. There is nothing to be done if one is accepted.

Fabian spoke up quickly before the Knight ordered an attack on the Archers.

"I am Fabien Barnier, the leading diplomat of the Doppelgänger. I've been sent in the name of the Queens of the Continental Conference! I have something to tell the Perfilian army. I want you to deal with the general!"

The Perfilian army struggled to move. Claire was anxious by her side. If we take too long, we may be attacked by a citizen in the city who notices our actions.

The Perfilian army did not escort them and told them to come to the delegates.

Yubelle picks up the official documents she deposited with Claire and hears Fabian walking out.

"... it's dangerous."

"Diplomacy begins when we get into enemy territory." More or less, your husband is doing something similar. If I don't do my best, I won't be able to stand anymore. "

Leaving Yubert behind, he walks barely.

One of the Pelvicians came out. I wonder if it was a Horseman. A young infantry soldier accompanying the knight who came out earlier.

He stopped and asked, taking the time to stab Fabian.

What are the requirements?

"The Queen of the Six, who is named after the Continental Conference, has given protection to Her Majesty the Queen of Perfilia and Her Highness, before the Church, for the alleged fraudulent identity of Her Majesty the Serenity, which was called by the Church of Our Lady of Our Lady. And I am the apostle of those who went before me. Learn more here"

Fabian spread the official documents to the infantry. I let him check that there was no trick and handed it round.

The infantry glances at the document with a sinister look and pursues it to Fabian.

Why did you show up from the capital?

"The situation was too unknown, so I went in first with the cooperation of Bevel Ottoman, the director of the northern branch of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. I admit doubt, but we are not your enemies."

Fabian raised his head and insisted. The infantryman says, "Wait a minute," and turns back.

The leading knight reads the official documents given to him by the infantry.

Keep writing to me from Die.

And he immediately moved his troops.

Approximately a hundred men. Company-sized soldiers are bursting under Fabian.

Fabian-sama!

"Claire, don't come!"

No way, I failed.

As soon as they thought so, the squadron passed by Fabian and entered the king's city.

A knight drives his horse to the front of Fabian.

"I'm sorry. The general isn't here - I'll take your request."

He took off his helmet and asked.

"By the way, where is the messenger from Del Ligeigeigeia who signed the document?"

The knight called himself Skipio.

Prime Minister Perfilia is said to have been one of Ditrout Yerni's guards.

"It was Helmut's grandfather who gathered this army, but now I'm in charge of my absence." You don't have to speak in salutation. I'll do the same. It's muddy. "

He invited Fabian and the others into the tent of the camp. The tent was erected in the shadow of a ridge that was difficult to see from the royal capital, but on the contrary, it was clearly visible.

In the tent, there was nothing but a scuffed carpet, no chairs, no desks. The first infantryman to make contact with Fabian set fire to the suspended corner lights, bowed and left, and saw a gigantic space full of piled blankets.

On a carpet lit by a corner lamp, Skipio hoofed and urged Fabian to sit down as well.

"I don't know how much you know about our situation, but I'm running out of supplies." I'm sorry I don't have a chair.... so let's get to the point. In principle, our job is not to move from here and not to let people escape from the King's City. "

What was your intention just now to force the soldiers into the king's city?

"There was a citizen in the Imperial Castle who was instigated by the church." To capture you.... even though I was told I didn't have to enter the King's City forcibly, I wasn't given orders to do so. "

Apparently, Skipio was a bit of an insensitive general.

Skipio shrugged and laughed at Fabian, who was struggling with the reaction and was breathing a subtle air.

"Honestly, I'm glad you guys are showing up." We couldn't move, so we were in trouble. I don't know what's going on inside, and my grandfather is going to be very strict with me..... "

"Grandpa, isn't that General Helmut Sagan?"

It is a famous family that has many queens in Perfilia. He is strategically skilled with his literary generals, and he has heard that the past armistice between Clan Have and Perfilia was his feat.

Skipio nodded to Fabian's question.

"Yes, don't ask me where my grandfather is." I don't know, either. "

"... don't you know too?"

"As I said earlier, my grandfather gathered the army from Perfilia." I was ordered by the Chancellor to escort the alienation to the northeast, and I turned back. I wish I had a good rendezvous with my grandfather, but the old man at heart left me with a trail and took a platoon of soldiers with him and disappeared somewhere. After that, I told you.... what's your situation? "

I have spoken a rough request before and it is also written in the text. Complementing that information, Fabian explained to Skipio:

Skipio's face is overtly cloudy as he describes armies coming and going from multiple countries. Even if it's not for aggressive purposes, you can say it with your mouth. His uneasy feelings were well understood by Fabian.

"... I want you to be strict not to let this army and the people get away with it."

"I understand. When the multinational army arrives, I want you to represent me." I want to make detailed arrangements. "

Don't touch each other's armies. The general policy such as not to work violently may be decided and communicated here, but it is impossible to fill in details such as the role of each army and what to do with violations of military regulations. Fabian has just been told there's a march, and it's not clear how big it is.

"Just in case, let me check." Your purpose is to protect Your Majesty and your lordship from the Church. Is that correct? "

"At the moment,"

In response to Skipio's question, Fabian honestly said:

"The queens of the world do not want Perfilia to be crucified. That's why it's the protection of the current Queen and the Chancellor. Even if Queen Serenity had not misrepresented her identity, the Church of Our Lady could have cut her neck unnecessarily. We're here to prevent it. If you are truly guilty, the treatment of Her Majesty will be strictly determined by our queens."

“If His Majesty was guilty, could Perfilia be severed?”

"By the hands of our queens?" Now. I don't know. Well, you were Prime Minister Dietrichot's bodyguard. Did you go to the Little Scandinavian Continental Conference? Do you know what was discussed? "

“I went. I know what's going on.”

"Then we'll talk soon." At that time, we discussed the treatment of the former Zahriha at the meeting. "

It is a region located in the southwest of Del Ligueiria. Losing the queen's inheritance, it is rough because of the inability to stand on its own.

"But no queen was active in getting that territory." The treatment there remains at odds with your Chancellor's controversy over secularism. Yes. The queens don't want to unwillingly expand their territory. Not to mention the faraway perfilia, which is superfluous. "

The situation may be different on other continents.

However, this [Western Beast] had too much control over the [Demon Duke].

I am not used to wars of aggression, and I do not have a decent methodology for annexing other countries. Above all, since the fall of Maisenbourg, the continent has left too much of the land on which the country was hijacked. Many of the main thoroughfares on the continent are cut off in the void. Even if you acquire another territory, you can't rule in a remote place where it takes time and money to get to and from.

In other words, the profits don't match.

Protecting the queens of Perfilia is not an easy way to destroy the country.

"It's not impossible to be divided." But I can't give you an answer here. "

"... All right. Anyway, if you don't intend to reach out to innocent people for the protection of your Majesty and your Majesty, that's fine."... I'll follow my grandfather's orders and lead the siege of the capital, but I'll send out an extra platoon to shut the main gate.... are you here with us? "

"No, I'm going back to the king's city." I have to greet His Majesty. "

Most of the queens are picked up from the harbor by the no-supply line. Fabian has a role to play in standing there and explaining the situation.

Fortuna--which way do we use? Probably.

Skipio nodded to Fabian's answer.

"Okay, I want you to wait for a quarter of a minute." I will elect a representative to accompany you. "

Skipio called in his men at the entrance of the tent and ordered quickly. Accepting the order, the subordinate leaves, and Skipio stands up.

Fabian also stood up and asked him to shake his hand.

"It was very helpful to talk to me right away."

"... the signing of the [National Seal] for two countries is not something to look at so much." I'm glad you're keeping me away.

Skipio's right, the Fabians were lucky. Chancellor Perfilia has the Seal of the Nation . Because he was the guard, he was able to immediately determine the authenticity of the official document's signature, and he was able to talk to the Fabian side.

Nevertheless, his first voice was strange.

Scipio murmured with a sigh.

"--If possible, I also wanted to see Del Ligueiria."

Speaking of which, you were the first to be asked where you were.

"... it would be suspicious if there was only a representative from one country who raised his name."

Well, that's right.

Fabian looks back at Yuvale and Randy, alongside Claire and the others. I'm so glad the die left them. Without their presence with Del Ligeigeigeia's public ID, Fabian's story would be less credible, no matter how public the documents.

Skipio confronts the knights of Del Ligeia.

He told both of them with a strange expression, as if he could not bear to cry, as if he were forced to laugh.

"Your husband is a fool to go to the Imperial Castle to negotiate with our emperors." I pray to the goddess that you will return safely. "

"... thank you very much"

Yubert bowed his head politely and thanked him. Randy imitated him and bowed with a beat.

Seeing off Skipio's back as he left, Claire whispered into Fabian's ear.

"... he won't go to the royal castle if he hears that the Queen and the Prime Minister are being hunted down."

"The general is not going to come forward." Well, I guess there's a lot more to the whereabouts of General Sagan. ”

Don't you have to pursue it?

Randy doesn't seem to like Skippio a bit. Doubt is on my face.

Fabian laughed.

"That's not our job." If we can agree to protect the Queen and the Chancellor. As a welcome to the queen, I want to make sure that I don't get bowed by Perfilia. Keep your face connected to the other general. They think we didn't come to invade. In short, all you have to do is finish it safely. "

In that regard, the conversation was more advanced than expected. In a short time, I feel like it's going well.

Fabian called out to everyone.

"For the time being, let's go back to the bevels."... maybe you can find out about the Sagans. "

Corner lights slide over the underground waterway trail.

"Mr. Chamberlain, this way."

Guided by the man holding the map, Reginald Chamberlain walked with his closest friends through the darkness of the underground, which was filled with the smell of sewage.

This underground aqueduct is one of the secret passages leading to the Royal Castle of Perfilia. Still before Maisenburgh was destroyed. I got a copy of the royal castle's old blueprint. After that, while using a man without legs, he investigated the ancient road for many years.

The roads varied. Some roads collapsed and could not be used, but most of the magic of retention was alive, and the royal castle was connected to the outside. There was also a road connecting the king's city to the outside, which was useful for resupplying supplies while the king's city was locked up.

This path taken by the Reginalds was considered the shortest and safest way to the center of the Imperial Castle. Probably a royal escape route. From a room close to the throne room, it leads to a well in an abandoned village one hill away, via an underground sewer in the capital city.

This road had to be used with caution.

Along the way, there were a number of big tricks that prevented them from entering the Imperial Castle. Vibrations are transmitted to the ground when the trick is removed. People are getting through. So Reginald took the days off and carefully took each one off. A team that knew nothing on the ground was trying to break down the outer wall of the Imperial Castle. The criminals who are drawn back to the royal castle will be wary of them.

They sacrifice their necks to the Holy Lady from behind their defenselessness.

- Ah, almost there.

We're almost there, Saintess. For I pray thee, that thou mayest wait now, because thou hast forgiven us.

May your blessing be upon us, who have become so pure.

The air in the underground waterworks is damp and dark, even with corner lights.

The vivid smell was warm like boar, unlike on the ground.

Reginald thought that I was walking along the path of birth.

Walk the ancient way, which was made in the days when the power of the holy lady was full, to worship with the faithful of the same will. This is the path of rebirth. To draw the blood of the Holy Maiden, to make her appearance.

(Have you given me this path of hardship to give birth to thy use in this world where thy gratitude is fading?)

The men who lead the way in the masonry trick remove it.

A staircase lit by magic lights appears on the walls of the muraled and polished scales.

Oh, and there was a cheer from the people.

Reginald looks back at them and declares.

"It's jihad time, everyone." Grab your weapons and climb the stairs quietly. "

Everyone nodded mysteriously.

One or two. Climb the stairs while checking for safety ahead of time. Reginald followed.

My chest roared and I couldn't help it.

There are no more decent soldiers in the Imperial Castle.

The brothers who plotted the Queen's throne also let their guards out. Meanwhile, they also sent soldiers from the Imperial Castle. The main force hunts down the brother.

They are as helpless as sheep dedicated to God.

Haha.

And then the laughter faded.

"Hahaha...!"

And.

A dimly lit room out of the stagnant air.

It's very late to enter the castle.

Reginald laughed at the cold man's voice.

"... what about you?"

It took time for the dark, familiar eyes to recognize the sight in front of them.

Pushing back the dimness, a man appears.

He was a man of pitiful beauty. That alone made me feel the blessing of the saintly lady. Reginald remembers how jealous he was.

One of the saints Reginald wanted to offer as an offering - Detraut Yerni smiled.
