No, no, no, no.
I will stop Jessica from saying anything abrupt for now.
What did she suddenly say?Shall we get married? That's what I say to the woman I love wholeheartedly, giving her a ring with a view of the sea.What are you saying to me in this conference room?
I don't know what it means, and I'm just looking for help from Drake.
Drake had a headache and exhaled heavily.
"... I know exactly what Princess Jessica says.It would be an excuse to give money to the Kingdom of Orvance for free, while maintaining parity with it. "
"Yes, a little forced, but more natural than aid for no reason."
"What? What's that supposed to mean?
But Drake nodded deeply.
It's supposed to be the last fort to protect me.
"I see. Surely, if the King of Grandisiah and the Princess of the Kingdom of Orvance were to marry, they would certainly be sending the money."
"... as Angus said, Master Noah"
"In addition, there is a blood bond between royalties.Certainly, there can be no more excuses.And given the situation, even some fox can't say no. "
"You call yourself a fox."
For an adventurer, is Queen Feliana the Equal Fox?
In the meantime, I understand.I'm not convinced at all, but I just need to understand.
Grandisiah wants to send money to the Kingdom of Orvance.But the reciprocity of the country is lost because aid is rendered without just cause.So make a good reason.My marriage to Jessica - that's how it works.
I'm not getting married yet. [M]I always thought that was after I got Slow Life.
"I thought you might disagree with Noah."
"No, that's right... Jessica, how old are you?
"Yes, I'm 11 years old."
"That's what I usually call Lolicon!?
Jessica was eight when we first met.
After two years and a little while, I'm eleven years old.
No, you're definitely growing up when you're eight.That's why an eight-year-old girl is no good, and an eleventh-year-old girl is no good.
Jessica sighed at me. [M]
First of all, Master Noah.
"Yeah."
"Nothing. I don't love Lord Noah."
"Spicy!"
Why am I being shaken up by someone who says, "Let's get married"?
Yeah, well, we've been together for over two years now, and I think we can soften our attitude a little bit.
"But I am the daughter of the Queen of the Kingdom of Orvance.I am not allowed to marry my beloved. "
"Eh...."
"The daughter of the royal family is only a token of good relations with neighboring countries."
……
I have no choice but to hold my head to Jessica's words.
Since I was born into a royal family, I don't feel free.
"So, Master Noah.Of course, you don't have to love me, Noah. "
"To...?
"It's just that I'm going to fit in with the First Lady.Of course, you don't have to have a child with me, and you don't have to have favors.You just have to leave it as the first lady of decoration. "
"... what do you mean?
I don't understand the meaning.
Marriage is what loved men and women do, and they don't need love there.Besides, you don't have to have kids, so you don't have to be married at all.
It was Drake who kept his mouth shut against me. [M]
"A political marriage without love.Such cases are common in history. "
"Eh... is that so?
"That's right. Though Lord Noah is marrying Princess Jessica, the big picture shows that Grandisiah and the Kingdom of Orvance were united by strong ties.In fact, the King of the East - the Kingdom of Dandalcia loved the princesses of the rear palace, and now all the princes are side chambers.I don't have any sons of my first wife. "
……
Doesn't your wife get mad at you?
I mean, I can't.
That kind of royal feeling is impossible for me to tell. [M]
"So, Master Noah.Shall I say it again? "
"I don't have to say it again, but I know about it..."
"Let's be married only to me and the family register.The treatment is the same as before.I don't need love. "
"I have a very strong sense of contract."
I'm getting married...
No, I was just wondering if I'd get married in the future.But I still don't have anyone like that, and it wasn't real.
However, there is a strong sense of resistance to marrying just because of such a hint of national communication.
So, if you can, don't do that.
"Just, Master Noah."
Huh?
"I disagree.I thought it should be a last resort. "
Oops.
I didn't say anything, but the spear came in from Drake.
I don't want you to use it as a last resort if you can fool me right now.
"Even if we make national transportation stronger, we still have more to do before marriage.It may allow us to turn some of the gold coins in the Treasury to Orvance. "
"Drake, do you have a hand?
"Yes, the Kingdom of Orvance is in good health now, so let's borrow an army as a mercenary.Face to face is the crusade against the deviant monsters around Grandisiah.This will make it possible to provide assistance in the name of borrowing troops. "
"But that's going to make you lose sight of your legs.Normal soldiers are engaged in rebuilding and constructing places where war has struck. "
"Of course, Princess Jessica, I know that.They will be engaged in reconstruction, just like regular soldiers.Specifically, along the border between the Kingdom of Orvance and Grandisiah, west of Hydra Seki. "
Hydra's Seki.
To the west, it was once part of the territory of the Draucos Empire and was scorched by their operations.Although reconstruction work is still under way, there is no prospect that people will be able to live there so far.
Mmm, so Jessica's eyebrows slightly approached.
"Explore that place until people can live there.To do this, we will send out an army of monsters from the Grand Dissaire who will also work hard.So I think we can solve the refugee problem. "
"I see... that place is as empty as ever."
"Yes, the Kingdom of Orvance will rebuild Grandisiac territory - after all, with support from the Orvans side.On the other hand, I will return the money.Besides, it's best to keep the refugees in Grand Dissaire territory…?
……
I don't understand conversations between smart people.
However, I understand that the prospect is likely to stand for the time being.
Jessica doesn't seem to have a word against Drake's suggestion either.
And I have the final say.
"Okay, that's the way it's going to be.Jessica, are you all right?
"... yes, I understand.Noah was right. "
Well then, good to see you!This is the end of the meeting!
That concludes the meeting.
I still know about the war, but Jessica and Drake are totally in charge of home affairs.
In the future, I might as well study to be a king.
Just when Drake and Jessica left.
"Well said, you've made a blank space... Mr. Drake"
"No, I just spoke for Noah."
In that way, they were holding each other back.
Is it about time you two got along?
