The Queen’s Cosmetician

Chapter Six: The Sleeping Mother of Kings 3

In the hall, which I thought was being used during my visit, the faces of Delligeria awaited the Dies.

The total number of people is six. Mariage and Alvina, two knights under Yuma and Assé, one civilian.

"Die......!

"Captain"

"Dear Ass."

Yumas raise their voices one after the other with a relieved look. Die even rushed over to them with Assé.

"Did you even come to Yuma?

"I was worried! Glad you look good...... I was surprised to hear from Mr. Alvina."

"I can't let you take the amulet off the die anymore."

Alvina laughed bitterly. Die temporarily removed the shield to replace the devil.

When she got away with Alvina, she seemed to be waiting for Die and Ass to return on the spot. But he hastily went to see what was going on, stealing conversations from Zemnam's soldiers wandering around, and figuring out what was going on.

"I'm sorry, Die. I can't help you."

"It's not Alvey's fault."

If I had walked believing it was the territory of my own country, there would have been no wall to be found and I would have entered another country. The unexpected is a good place. How can you be such an exceptional magician?

Die told Alvina not to mind, kneeling beside Mariage.

"Your Majesty, we apologize for the inconvenience"

I am anxious about your lack of response. Die peered into her face.

"... Um, Master Mariage?

Mariage stares at the die. Very much - angry.

Ugh, and, groaning, Die leaned back reflexively.

"Su, excuse me, mariage..."

"Die."

"Yes."

It is as low as Mariage's voice crawls through the earth. Die sweated cold as he drowned his head. Honestly, I feel more at stake than when I was captured by Zemnam soldiers.

Mariage stands up completely. She told Die by brewing air that could even feel the cold air.

"Bringing in trouble is your talent...?

"... No, no, no, I want to have fun..."

Die looked back at the past out of sight. I want to deny all Mariage's words, but I don't have the elements to do it as much as I can. Always going into the storm.

"Why... are you captured by Zemnam soldiers just for a walk in the garden?

"Really..."

"That's not true! You idiot! How many times? I thought you were dying!!

"Ahhhhhh! Sorry sorry sorry sorry!!

Die apologized with all his might to Mariage with his head in his arms.

Mariage sat stiff in the chair to reduce the temples.

"... next time, if this seems to happen, I'll beat you down"

"I also feel like I've always been slapped... oh, sorry, yes, I'll be careful"

"You must really know..."

Mariage exhales for a long time.

Die felt guilty in his tired face. It doesn't make any difference that I worried about her.

A woman laughs when she dulls in a quiet room. The volume of voice gradually increased in magnitude. The Dies looked back. There was a siary at the entrance to the room that wrapped around Iswill's arm and broke into laughter.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha You're close, you guys... Ha ha ha!

"... who?

"My Lord Chancellor of Zemnam."

Die briefly described the situation to Mariage. That after being captured by Zemnam's soldiers, the Siaries used the Promise of Secret Talks to help the Dies out. that they cannot be hostile to the Dies due to constraints on the Chamber of Commerce;

Siaries, who sent the Dies under the mariages with one escort, seemed to be dressed. Although it does not change into a men's outfit, it wraps around a dark purple jacket with a black colour, unlike the one ahead. The fabric had a same-color thread and a lizard with a tail wrapped around a sword resembling an iridium - Zemnum's, a national seal.

Find out where the Siaries stand in their costumes and the Yumas quickly correct their residence.

Siaries was escorted to Iswill and came to the Dies as he poked his wand. She thanked her with her hand nearby.

"My name is Siaries Calestia. Excuse me in this way. You may not like it."

Fine, and Mariage tells you just like that.

"This is Mariage Mizwilli Delligeiria. My makeup artist and knight took care of me."

"Just now, explain the situation. … Problems can only be solved quickly"

Greetings are there too. The Siaries try to get to the point.

"Yeah, just what I want."

Mariage waves and summons a civilian. The knights have taken up the position of escort. Die also sits next to her, prompted by Mariage.

Siaries sits on a face-to-face bench and Iswill leans upright beside him.

Several female officers who had been in the room before they knew it instantly set up a chair for Assé and a cup of tea.

"This is a rough layout of the building that was lent to Zemnam."

Said Siaries spreading the paper over the tabletop. Trapezoidal grounds with short bottom. In the center of it, a square appears to represent the location of the hall. It is a depressed and crisp diagram of details.

"You can be sure this right side is your hall.... each other's premises are separated by walls carved with a surgical ceremony. but here's the part."

Siaries drew a circle with his fingers in the upper right corner of the trapezoid.

"This place is collapsing"

"Collapse, rather than there was no wall itself..."

Siaries nodded at Die's allegations.

"They absorbed it. Apparently."

"Absorption?"

Silver tree.

It was Alvina who spoke. Die introduced Alvina to Siaries as one of the sorcerers.

Mariage looks back on Alvina and asks.

"Hey, what the hell is that?

"Silver trees are special trees that suck and grow in magic, Your Majesty. Have silver leaves in purple trunk......"

"Oh, is that the tree?"

It is an unusual tree that was growing around Zemnam when he was captured by his soldiers. Die raised his voice when he thought of it.

Alvina keeps explaining.

"Silver trees do not require normal nutrients. Growing up with magic in the ground and in the air, the raw materials of attractive stones"

"... is that the lure stone logs"

Assé reveals his surprise and whines. Die was similarly surprised. It is famous that attractive stones use special trees as materials. But it is the first time that I have actually seen the tree.

Mariage frowns in surprise.

"That the silver tree is growing on the property? What does that have to do with the fact that the walls of the premises are gone?

"The more magical the silver tree grows, the more depleted it will be to stretch its roots around to find it"

Siaries answered.

"A silver tree toddler has absorbed the wall. … probably made of a material with a lot of magical elements"

"That connected each other's premises.... what are you going to do about it?

Do you want to stretch with rope, too, Die asked the Siaries.

The hall is only a temporary residence for the duration of the Continental Conference. There is no obligation to repair the walls. However, it would be difficult without a partition at all. I need to draw a line.

"I'm going to put up an iron wire. And it would help if there was a magician who could put things together..."

Siaries looks over to Del Ligueiria's company. The Dies did not commit the foolishness of seeing Alvina. Her strength will not be revealed cheaply.

"... to Zemnam, no magicians?

Mariage asks quietly. Siaries nodded.

"By the time you reach the juncture, you need to check with the surgeon."

"Yes.... we will need confirmation too. Right, Alvina?"

"If we don't all inspect the site, there's nothing we can do."

with all the Zemnam operators, if possible. smile and Alvina states. Siaries made his thoughts just a look, but you can do it, he smiled.

"I'll call the surgeons. Please wait."

"With all due respect, Chancellor,"

Assé raises his hand and speaks.

"I know why me and Die got lost on Zemnam's side. I can't help but to have been detained. Because we were suspicious in that place."

If they were in the opposite position, the Dies would have also decided to capture strangers as intruders. That's good. However, Assé asks.

"What's the reason you didn't quite open up? His Excellency the Chancellor was believed that part of the wall was disappearing. but the soldier who examined me didn't even have an ear to work on my claim"

"Right."

Die indicated his consent to Assé. Throw the question from earlier to Siaries.

"Why did you have to go out of your way to help me with Mr. Auslund's story? If Saia says our testimony is true, aren't the soldiers supposed to have let us go, too?

"The answer to those questions is why I entrusted Auslund with a message."

Zemnam's prime minister brushed a slight self-derision on his mouth.

"Let me be honest with you. Zemnam is now divided into two factions."

The die turned flat. The same was true of everyone else.

"You look like you can punch the inner feelings of such a country on people from other countries, everyone."

Siaries laughs delightfully.

"Of course, it's not open to anyone. Because you're just. I'm gonna run out of this."

"Because it's a prerequisite for answering an earlier question?

When Die confirmed, Siaries shook his head vertically.

"But I hope Del Ligueiria doesn't turn to the enemy."

Distance is the most remote in the continent and does not make it a commercial enemy like Perfilia. There is also a lack of political engagement. That's why I found out Zemnam's internal affairs were divided, with none of the gains or losses, Siaries explained.

Die shudders and rephrases Siaries' words.

"I mean, Del Ligueiria can't be poisoned or medicated," he said.

"I want to get along."

I hope you don't twist it, Siaries smiled.

"As I said earlier, Zemnam is divided into two factions. One is my faction. The other is my uncle, the faction of Herald Abascal. Unfortunately, through this faction, the soldiers do not communicate well."

"Do you mean the soldiers who captured me and Die are on your uncle's side?"

"You're right, Lord Tedius.... not accommodating to the soldiers above my uncle. Preliminary construction, which we originally promised to meet, not intruders, to ensure your safety very quickly, was very effective, depending on what we were allowed to use."

"So... why did Chancellor Siaries originally want to see us?

Mariage speaks again of doubts.

It's a quiet voice. But Die took the frustration of being pushed to death to live there.

Siaries answers.

"I'll skip the details. but I wanted to come to this little Scanagia early. I wanted to know why."

The Herald on the other hand wanted to keep the Siaries within Zemnam as long as it could be done.

"To the extent that we set up an official envoy to plan the meeting, obstruction from my uncle was imperative. So it's up to me to make it an informal invitation."

Even if we carry things in secrecy, if we work against neighboring countries, the Herald will feel us.

There he set up an arrow of white wings at Del Ligueiria, which is also unlikely to be politically hostile.

At last, Del Ligueiria got stuck.

I carve a crease between my eyebrows just because I can't enjoy mariage.

"… you have entrusted Auslund with not having to attend the meeting."

"It's a fact. I thought it wouldn't matter if I fulfilled my small Scanavian entry. … but it is a shame for me that the Dies have jumped into our territory. Thanks to you, uncle, you know that the geometry of my claim is true. This is how everyone in Del Ligueiria got closer."

Says the Sirleys are shabby.

I see. She's not hostile to Del Ligueiria.

However, I have no hesitation in using it like a pawn. And to say publicly that I have let you use it.

"... this is how we came to meet with you. Prime Minister Siaries"

Mariage is returning to the vegan tone. Its eyes are faint.

"But if the die didn't get lost, what were you going to do? I thought we could entertain ourselves with tea and be high, over, done with."

It was seen cheap. I can see Mariage's anger.

"What shouldn't we celebrate and deepen our friendship while picking tea treats, Your Majesty"

The Siaries were tattered.

"Isn't that what socializing is all about? Mine to me. Everyone in Delligeria said that they would have the opportunity to make close friendships with Zemnam in advance of the meeting. I will not share the guilt of insignificance in proposing that both sides have a stake in it."

The national power is better Zemnam than Del Ligueiria. For the big countries, small countries are something to be amused about.

"... Dear Mariage, Chancellor Siaries is right"

Mariage narrows her eyes surprisingly to what Die said. Delligerian officials, including Assé, also looked at the die with surprise.

Die smiles at Siaries with an unfamiliar face at everyone's gaze.

"The opportunity to have a close conversation like this is not something that you can have. And I ended up entertaining you with tea, I can't believe it. His Excellency the Chancellor had proposed a good interest beforehand.... he wants to fight with our country for Perfilia"

Siaries grinned and tuned in with the die.

"Yes. Year after year, Perfilia, which increases its national power, is a country that cannot be ignored for our country. Is that a threat to you, too? So I would love to exchange information..."

"I see?... but that's strange. I can't believe we're fighting together - Delligeria and Perfilia are not in contention, Prime Minister."

"Yeah? But you..."

Siaries closed his mouth in the middle of his remarks.

Die deepens his grin and rephrases his earlier words.

Del Ligueiria and Perfilia are good neighbors.

That is officially the case.

"You can also tell the country that Zemnam's interior is divided."

A country like Perfilia would know a lot of information without having to be able to pass it on.

The prime minister of that country has no choice.

he said.

If you don't want to be swallowed, you have to fight and screw over.

We must not allow ourselves to think that it is a weak country that is just being used.

"... a year ago tribute visit"

The assays tremble slightly at the whispers of Siaries.

Only Mariage sits quietly with her hands over her lap.

Siaries raised the corner of his mouth.

"I had a lot of flashy ears... but I guess it was my early point"

"That's not necessarily what yesterday's enemies are still today. Likewise, it's up to them to continue their preferences."

"I see? Threaten me"

"You're the one who said you wanted to get along. Sire."

There must be one in Zemnam. There's a reason I don't want Del Ligueiria to get closer with Perfilia.

Perfilia is a 'common enemy' to the extent that it dares to rub in.

If you only want to "use" Del Ligueiria, you can turn to Zemnam's enemies.

The Siaries stared at the die often and laughed softly as he slapped his knee abruptly.

"Ha ha! I'm so sorry!

Die stared at Zemnam's prime minister properly. She keeps laughing with real pleasure.

The faces of Del Ligueiria are flashy and flashy.

Hitting him on the shoulder the way Iswill could not see him, the Siaries finally put up a laugh.

"No... how could it be quite. Yeah, funny."

"You... you tried?

"No, Your Majesty. But I feel like picking it up from the country right now. Del Ligueiria."

Serve the type of liquor and the year of production in accordance with the anniversary of the other country. It is also a matter of respect.

That means I've raised my rating for Del Ligueiria.

Siaries tells Mariage.

"I apologize for offending you. Again, I declare. I will not be your enemy. I will not harm you."

She looked at the die and smiled.

"I'd like you to get along as my neighbor... until this continental conference is over"
