The Queen’s Cosmetician

Chapter X Returning Contractor 1

"Even if we can't afford it, we can't decide the terms of the throne by ourselves."

The queen of Don Fan makes it clear.

"The only authority we have been granted is in the case of Perfilia. The Grand Duke of Almardi has given his permission for the treatment of His Majesty Serenesti and Prime Minister Yerni. Even the partition of Perfilia would be approved if the borders were restored. However, at the moment, the lord of the kingdom must be the queen."

In order to hold this meeting, the Church of Our Lady of Little Scandinavia and the Archduke Armadillo, the last member of the Maisenbourg sect, were of course rooted in countries with thick ties to them. The Church of Our Lady has the Archduke almost as a puppet, but she can't defy you if you force her out. The Church of the Holy Maiden is for the Holy Maiden - more to the point, it is an organization that was born for the [Duke of Magic], the immediate family of the Holy Maiden.

The Archduke was very angry at the radical maiden who caused the Pillar of Light , and he confirmed the suspicions of the Yerni brothers and sisters that the radical maiden had spread, and he has obtained approval to deal with them at the meeting. There is no doubt that the chaos in Perfilia was a plot by Reginald Chamberlain against the radicals, so if we are to contain the damage, we can restore the borders and elect a new monarch under the joint name of the queens entrusted by the Grand Duke.

But don't touch the king's terms. Contrary to the ecclesiastical laws that govern the kingdom of the continent, and above all, Almardi lost all his country, his close people, and his healthy body when he seized his brother Ashburn on the throne. When a man is on the throne, the country is cursed. The Grand Duke of Almardi is the one who believes in it more than anyone else.

"Don't discuss anything against their will here."

The Archduke and the queen of Don Fan, who knew each other best, affirmed so.

"The army of Perfilia in the capital of the kingdom is entrusted with the end of the country because we are the representative of the Grand Duke." If you want to discuss the Queen's ways of being, you need time. ”

The chief servant of Zekst, who had just proposed secular separation, had a bitter face.

Mariage laid a card down in her head. If there is any certainty that Serenityti is alive, we will actively assist him in setting up a king without distinction of any kind, but if we do not know his life and death and cannot attempt to calm Perfilia, we need not hurry in this direction.

We must redeem the Chancellor's life in another way.

"I have no objection to the partition of Perfilia."

It was the queen of Farril who said that.

“Our goal is ultimately to stop the Dark Ages. And it depends on the sedation of Perfilia.”

"Perfilia, restless. We cannot end this war."

"For now, the clan wants Ineka to be queen and end the war with Perfilia." If we split into two countries, both of them will be fine. It was my Reina who set it up, so I seem to be saying something of my own accord, but I want to get a piece of Perfilia soon. "

Ineka and Juno declare Clan Haive's intentions. Apparently, they want to stay here until the end of the war agreement is concluded. The Doppelgänger queens' hope of agreeing must lie in Clan Haive's stabilization support. No matter how deep the forest is separated, Doppelgänge's neighbor is Clan Haive. If that country is not stable, Doppelgänger will not be able to settle down.

It is provisionally decided to revert to the Perfilia border line for the benefit of the other politicians.

The question is, from where do you pull the Queen?

"One of us will take over the territory of Perfilia for a limited time...?"

"I can't have a clan."

said Juno on behalf of Ineka.

"Reina is in a mess, and the clan is in a bad state overall." If Ineka embraces other territories in an attempt to sum up from now on, she will fall apart. "

Clan Haive was also responsible for Perfilia's roughness. I feel responsible. But if you don't want to crush Perfilia, Juno has shielded the weakness of Clan Have, so you don't have to impose this territory on yourself.

What part of the territory do you want to take over?

Rodimus draws a line between vague definitions.

"Do you mean that the two countries will take on Perfilia by dividing it into east and west? What is the scope of responsibility? Do you mean to rule the same as your own country? Or are you just lending your name as a temporary queen? Depending on the conditions, the burden will change completely.”

"From the center of Perfilia to the west... I mean, the original Perfilian territory is fine politically, just by placing a temporary queen."

Chancellor Zekst expressed his opinion.

In Perfilia, there remained a man of great nobility, mainly Zeno Phalanx. Chancellor Ditrault is unconscious, but alive. Even though the nobles who ruled the territory from the center to the west had distanced themselves from the Serenities, they seemed to accept the suspicion of the throne issued by the church. It was the conclusion of various documents and interviews in the past three days that if even the instructions of the governance were given, the reconstruction would proceed more quickly than expected.

"However, I know that you will also need financial assistance......"

“To what extent specifically?”

"From Perfilia's old-age expenses... roughly, perhaps, in a year, as much as Zekst's old-age expenses."

In terms of the national area alone, Zekst is less than half of Del Ligeiria, and less than a quarter of what is now Perfilia. Still, it costs so much money to run a country.

Even in other countries, the burden of becoming a temporary queen is greatest. Every country is exhausted by the Pillar of Light, and we would rather have our own support. In addition, if you want to support us to the east......

The air in the conference room became heavier, and the queen of Don Fan proceeded to speak.

"... what about the east?"

"If you just let a substitute govern, you will lose to the native lord." The Queen's direct reign is a must. ”

If possible, it would be a good idea for you to send out an aristocratic girl from Little Scandia.

Why is that?

"We have made similar proposals to Zahriha's main organization. But it ended in a farewell. I thought you just wanted to invade the country. If you've already been invaded and annexed by Perfilia, and if the native lords are still in power, it's possible that any one of us will receive a girl like Zarriha.”

"... if you ask Little Scandinavia to do something like that, we won't be able to talk right away." you won't want to let out a girl.... "

It was time for the debate to boil down again.

Sairies suddenly opened his mouth as he showed the thoughtful gesture.

"There's one in Zemnam."

"Chancellor Kallestia, Chancellor Wesp, said she was a little Scanadian girl."

"Of course, Majesty Fortuna....... Of course, it's addressed to my Zemnam, the girl with the Maisenbourg muscle."

"...... who is Sir Abascal's niece?"

When Mariage asked modestly, Sairies broke his face.

Your insight, Your Majesty Mariage.

(...... From the beginning, you were aiming for the sole.)

Sairies was in conflict with his uncle, Herald Abascal, over who he would make a queen. Herald himself belonged to the radical group of the Church of Our Lady, and died in Little Scandinavia, but his niece, whom he wanted to give the throne, was still alive after the Pillar of Light .

I hear she's the survivor of the Maisenburgh nobility. It is the banner of the opposition that does not recognize the current queen of Zemnum, Akselina, by her age and blood thinness. To seal it away as a queen in the distance is a bold idea like Sairies.

Zemnam and Perfilia are the most spaced apart on the continent and are hard to invade. Even if the niece becomes an enemy, the effect is small, and if she becomes an ally, she can base herself far away.

"At the time of the collapse of the [Duke of Magic], she was visiting her uncle's Herald and staying in Zemnam, so she is a collateral member of the Maizenbull family who escaped the difficulties. I have come to Japan for a long time, relying on my uncle's family, but my origins are still in Mazenblue - in other words, in Little Scandinavia."

"... can you make that one the queen?"

No problem.

Axelina is silent and feels like she has already secured Sir Abascal's niece from the Sairy's mouth, and all her roots are over.

Originally, even though there was an audience, Sairies did not immediately announce its existence.

After confirming that there was no one else, he must have planned to push Sir Abascal's niece to the east of Perfilia.

Sairies smiles when he says, "That's a good idea."

"After punishing the bats who planned the murder of the radicals of the Church of Our Lady and His Majesty the Serenity, the eastern part will calm down for a while if we make the native aristocrat who seems to be safe.... they've been ruled by His Majesty Serenity for a long time."

They did not fight for sovereignty.

Many of the people involved in this disturbance must have been inspired by the church's claim that Serenity is a boy, and have been inspired to take revenge by righteousness.

"In other words, I will be satisfied if I give you a legitimate bloodline head." Isn't that the case? "

Why don't you put an observer officer in a joint body at the beginning of the reign?

“I agree, if you have a multi-country watch, you won't be able to make a bad move.”

Chancellor Donfan says, and Queen Farril backs.

Rodimus turns the document into a mariage and makes a short note.

Suzuran, the wolf is as expected

Suzuran is Don Fan, and the wolf is Farril.

Rodimus seems to have figured out from what the Mariages had gathered that they were aiming for from around the world, but from what they had said during the meeting, they were correct.

The two countries want to send people from their own country to the east of Perfilia.

Their aim is probably the result of experiments in the east with sorcery-neutral craftsmen.

(... it's true that you lost your magician to the [Pillar of Light])

Don Fan and Farril were the country that held many mages who had studied in Maisenbourg. There were many officials who remained connected to Little Scandinavia, and these two countries were responsible for many of the explorations and roots to the Church of Our Lady.

On the contrary, there were many powerful people who were connected with the radicalism of the Church of Our Lady.

Although Mariage has never visited Don Fan and Farril, she still uses a lot of sorcery to keep the country going.

If a lot of the mages belonging to the radicals disappeared in the Pillar of Light - we must quickly secure the technology to make up for it.

Mariage clapped the edge of the document with her finger for approval and pushed it back toward Rodimus.

(...... I wonder if now the destination star of all countries is roughly on the horizon.)

Zemnam took care of the country's troubles.

Clan Have celebrated the early end of the war and the rebuilding of the country.

Doppelgänger promotes the country's peace of mind by its backing.

Donfan and Farril find an engineer to replace the sorcerer.

Zekst stabilized the situation in the neighborhood through possible changes in the conditions of the throne.

And as far as possible, the expenses are small, and I want to press the unpleasant part to other countries.

"... I'd like to check again."

Mariage put her hands together and bent her neck.

"The Queen of the East may be chosen by Zemnam, but we must not let her rule the same way from the center to the west." Because there is a high possibility of civil unrest. "

"You're right."

So who owns the territory of the original Perfilia?

The queens' gaze swam for a moment.

There were three who turned away from Mary. Sairies, Ineca Ría-El, Fortuna.

Everyone doesn't want to get the territory they're struggling to visit. There's no resupply ship harbor, and perhaps it's just a vast territory that could really be “ruled and cursed by men.”

(─ Good)

Then I'll take what you don't want.

Got it.

Mariage declares strictly.

"I will keep the territory of Perfilia, except the east."

The rulers looked at Mariage with relief, suspicion, and some hesitation.

Don Fan's queen tends to hesitate.

"Does that mean... that Del Ligeiria will annex Perfilia?"

"On the face of it, I won't erase Perfilia's name. It is only temporary, and I will cut it off as soon as the national lord's grade rises. Well, as Queen Farine said, even for a long time, within three years."

"Three years... why three years?"

"Is that all it takes to discuss the conditions for succession to the throne?" Hey, Farine-sama. "

While answering Fortuna's questions, Mariage asked Don Fan's queen for her consent.

Earlier, she put forth a specific figure of "three years" for the period to change the conditions of the national landlord. It didn't say anything properly.

I had it checked by the D'Adam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DADAN), but Grand Duke Almardi of Little Scandinavia said that his life would not be long. Bathed in high-density magic, she turned to a body that could not accept magic, and immediately pulled back in with just a greeting at the first continental meeting.

If Almardi's longevity is three years and she's gone, the truth, [The Demon Duke], will be over.

The church must change the condition that the queen should inherit the throne, which was established centered on the [Duke of Magic].

At that time, it was possible to discuss the male inheritance of the throne.

"... is Mariage pushing for a change in the conditions for succession to the throne?"

"As you agreed with Queen Lovisa and Prime Minister Wesp, yes, yes." I think we have to change. Even if I were to withdraw from the throne. "

Mariage laughed at herself.

"I was chosen as a queen to make my country better, but I often feel helpless. There is no need to destroy the possibility of being better than me and leading the country better. Above all......"

Mariage lowered her eyes and sighed seriously.

"It is enough to see how much respect for the bloodline of a saintly woman can trample on the dignity of a person, cause war and tear apart people's connections. You all think so, don't you?"

When the rulers gathered here frowned at Mariage's question, they wondered whose death they had in mind.

"... I agree with Mariage."

Fortuna said quietly.

But do you really think Mariage can change the terms of the throne?

For the first time, you were in favor of secularism, and you weren't expecting that much opposition.

"I'm not against it, Majesty Mariage." I hope that anyone who can guide the kingdom well will be qualified to be king, if I too will be fulfilled. It's nothing for me to have a past that wasn't just a village daughter. "

She puts her hand on her chest and pleads.

"However, it is not easy to put your fingernails up to faith, according to ancient traditions. The will of the rulers here is not enough. It is because the will to change this era permeates the terminal commander and each and every one of the people... Do you know what that is?!"

"I know."

Mariage replied decisively.

“When you want to change something, there may be a new battle there.”

Unlike them in the northeast and south, this continent was long, long, and safe because it was bound in the name of the [Duke of Magic], and thus in the name of the Holy Maiden.

"However, if you are not prepared here, in the end, there will be more land without those to rule, and the [Beast of the West] will become rough." Our land is swallowed up by it. Before that happens, I think it's time to pave the way. ”

"--Are you all prepared and agreeing with Majesty Mariage?"

Fortuna asks all of them.

The rulers were silent, but certainly nodded heavily.

Fortuna laughed lightly.

"--Excuse me." I have no objection to Master Mariage anymore. Please continue. "

"May I have a word with you, Your Majesty Queen Mariage?"

Sairies raises his hand and asks to speak.

"As I said, it would be difficult for the Church of Our Lady to change the terms of the throne. Even if they knew they had to, they wouldn't break.... do you have a plan to convince His Majesty within three years?"

Mariage said she would carry Perfilia.

Del Ligeiria would have wanted to do that, but Mariage took over so easily that the Sarriages seemed worried on the contrary.

Absolutely.

Mariage replied with a laugh.

“First of all, I'm going to kill Dietratto Yerni.”
