After finishing a job at the Wens Chamber of Commerce and returning to the Farrenhal in King's Landing, I was greeted by an unexpected welcome.

"Elaine! You're back!

It was my husband, Cleman, who hugged me with his hands open.

And beside that is Amalia, a maid holding Sieghart.

"You... and Amalia. Why? I was on the Duke's side...."

This time, I came to King's Landing alone.

Clément has a lot to do as a lord, and I thought it would be better to stay in the Territory about Siegfried.

There is also a burden on the carriage.

The journey of the carriage would be tough for a one-year-old....

But when I look at Sieg in Amalia's arm, she looks very well.

I don't seem particularly tired...

Strangely enough, Clément took her hand off me and said.

"My job is a long way off... well, I didn't throw everything away at Alto or Walter, did I? Actually, His Majesty called. I had to come. Often, one of the magic tools you developed... I was just about to install a shock absorber for the little kid in the carriage, so I decided to come with Siegfried."

"That's right....."

Although I've tried to make magic equipment, I've left it to the carriage craftsmen because I've taken a little space to load it in the carriage so far.

With it, you can stay comfortable with little impact inside the carriage.

Basically, I plan to have three more children from now on, so I thought I would definitely need them, but I didn't expect them to be delivered so soon.

I'm glad I met Sieg, whom I thought I wouldn't see for a while, and I'll be honest about it.

"Sieg... do you understand me? I've been away for a while."

When she received Sieg from Amalia and stroked her face lightly,

"... ahh. Mama! Mama!

And reach out to me.

Apparently you understand.

Amalia says.

"Without my wife, I'm getting more and more pretentious looking for her... I still miss my mom."

When I was in the territory, I spent as much time with him as I could, and I took care of him.

That's why they recognize me as their mother.

However, as a lady's usual, I can't cover everything alone.

Many people say that ladies rarely even go to see each other without taking care of them at all, leaving them to few servants.

But I...

I was a mother like that the other day, but I don't want to do that this time.

It was true that there was love for the family, but somewhere it was distorted, and it seemed to be the lack of involvement in the first place.

There's a lot to be done here, and Siegfried's time is running out, but maybe it's time to settle down and get back into the territory.

Or grow Sieg in King's Landing for a while...

Thinking about magic equipment, is that better?

It's troublesome.

"I don't really want Sieg to feel lonely, but there are a lot of bad things that need to be cleaned up. Of course, I'm sorry to Sieg, but I'm also sorry to everyone who took care of Sieg, including Amalia...."

"No, I know. I'm sure Sieghart... understands that your mother is doing something important. You seem lonely, but you're hardly as handy as other children."

"You don't have to worry about anything from this age...."

"No...."

Then, I remembered Cremant's dialog earlier and asked him.

"Speaking of which, you. Your Majesty called me....?

Oh, yeah.

"Are you okay?

I have not felt so bad about His Majesty.

Including the previous time.

However, I did not feel anything like a loss before I set up the great crime of overthrowing the state.

I died trying to be fat, but I have that kind of emotion.

Cremant nodded lightly, not knowing it was dew.

"No problem. Maybe I know why somehow."

"What is that?

"Is there a union of free cities next to the Duke of Farrence? Apparently, there are more monsters appearing there. The Free Cities Federation, as an autonomous city, has been granted autonomy by the kingdom to the city itself, and it also has its own army that falls under the category of Knights and Magic Division....."

"You don't have enough hands?

"That's what it is, to be honest. However, since the Free Cities Federation has a considerable amount of money in the Kingdom every year, it is difficult to say that it is their responsibility alone to work hard. That's why the neighboring territory tells me to give you some help."

"Aid, combat power?

"I'm sure we have enough money. However, we have to increase our strength as mercenaries at this time, but now we are recruiting a lot in the Holy Land of Red Dart....."

"Do you follow the prophecy that a war against the devil's kingdom will take place?"

"That's what it is. Because the Virgin Reddat is your mother's aunt, I'm sure you're familiar with that sort of thing... but what do you think? Is that what happens?

"I don't know. But there is no doubt that the Holy Nation believes in it. People in that country... they're all crazy."

My nature also seems to be coming from there.

Even before, it was ultimately the Holy Nation that did so much and wanted to overthrow the state... well, that's okay.

In any case, realistically speaking, it will be necessary to send some combat power from the Duke to the Free Cities Coalition as assistance beyond the shortage of mercenaries.

His Majesty will reward you with some kind of prize, and the Knights will be able to train monsters in battle.

It's not a bad story.

And then... yes.

"Can you let the knights possess magic gear when you dispatch your forces?

"A magic device... is that a magic shield? Of course, it doesn't matter, but there is a possibility that technical information will leak to the Free Cities Federation.

"I'll tell the knights about it. Besides... I'll keep it locked."

"A key to magic equipment....? I'm afraid I'm thinking of something strange again, but, well, if there's a chance that the knights will be less worn out, that's fine."
