Umi to Kaze no Oukoku

13 Crown Princess Ariena

After a year and a half of marriage, Aliena, loving Alexei, waited with Solis for her husband, who would not return as soon as she left on the way to dinner.

"Something a little nasty has happened, so I'm going out, but you need to stay asleep first."

Alexei, who kissed lightly and rushed out, has noticed that Ariena has been worried about something since yesterday.

"Something bad is happening. I want to help..."

I also bury my face in the mundane white fur of Solis sleeping in front of the fireplace, and I'm sad to see why he won't talk to me.

"Your Majesty King Rudolph had a seizure, too, because something went wrong. Is there a personal problem rather than politics?

Ariena, who had a mild seizure and saw King Rudolph, realized she had personal concerns, but didn't know what it was.

Even though I haven't slept much last night, I went to visit Prince Shaw and the port of Zordas in the morning and worried about Alexei, who went out again when I thought he was back, and I didn't feel like sleeping and I woke up and waited, but I laugh bitterly that I wasn't originally active myself.

'Solis, your mother was opposed to marrying the Kingdom of Laurent because she was expecting me to have to live patiently. I feel like I'm alone outside a mosquito net. "

There have been various difficulties in daughtering the Kingdom of Laurent, which was an enemy country, but I have stained my bones in the past year for how freely I behaved in the Kingdom of Iran. Living in the rugged Royal Palace of Cairon is often painful for Ariena, who was lovingly cared for by her compassionate parents and was free to shoulder to shoulder with the boys in Ludenheim for study and martial arts training.

Ariena was born and raised as a princess, so I didn't even think I'd find it hard to live in the royal palace. I was not worried about that being the same in the royal palace of the Kingdom of Laurent, as there were always nobles and women and samurai around in the royal palace of Jungfrau, but I could hardly even do the ladies and ladies nearby, and I felt lonely.

"You want to go home to Jungfrau?

Aliena is surprised to hear back from Solis, who thought she was sleeping in front of the fireplace.

'I miss Jungfrau, but I don't even want to leave Alexei's side. Solis is the one who doesn't have to go back to von Forrest? Luna has a family. Solis wants a family, too, right?

Solis did want a family, but Ariena's side can't leave either. Though Solis also knew that Ariena, who grew up and married her, didn't need babysitting, she found it difficult to break up because she had been with her ever since she was born.

"You don't have to be von Forrest to have a family."

That said, the wolves raise their children as a couple, so even if they don't go back to von Forrest, they have to leave Ariena's side to have a family.

"My mother promised Solis and Luna's father Silver. When I grew up, I told Von Forrest I'd give it to him. Besides, I'd love to see Solis' wolf too. '

Ariena is hurt by the words she utters.

"Children......"

Remembering that she had not fulfilled the most important mission entrusted to the Crown Princess herself, Ariena, who nearly cried, bites her lips.

"Dragon knights and magicians are hard to have children..."

I wanted my mother to make a cabbage that would give her children, but in the Kingdom of Laurent, Yuri, Queen of the Kingdom of Iran, was treated like a war criminal and had been denied suspicious sorcery.

"I cried, I can't have kids! Besides, you have to figure out what's unacceptable to the Kingdom of Laurent and what to do. I didn't marry Master Alexei just to cry. I wanted to be there for you."

If she can't sleep anyway, Ariena calmly looks back at herself saying she needs to think of improvements rather than fooling herself or crying pity for herself.

"When you act cheerfully innocent like Princess Rosina, I know Uke is good... but you're not my character"

Ariena's beauty is too compelling and she looks grumpy when she shuts up. Imitating an angelically clean, cute looking Rosina doesn't seem to work.

I looked in the mirror and laughed briskly, but instead, I dismiss this operation as impossible when people seem afraid to turn people away.

"We should find a way to make up for what I'm not good at. Master Alexei is caring for the poor people and refraining from fancy parties and such. In keeping with that policy, we need to create a glorious atmosphere with young ladies and young ladies close by. You have to think of a good idea that won't cost you money."

Ariena loved and respected Alexei, but was worried that the economy would not turn if those who stood on top were too tight. However, in the reality of the Kingdom of Laurent, such as the one that is sending out refugees, once he has hosted a floating party or something, he is also arching his hands just to understand that he will be the object of condemnation.

"We need to create a side of this that we can plan together. I'm not good at socializing either. There is also a social community in the Kingdom of Laurent, and not everyone should have a loose end to the funds. There must be some smart women out there who are doing well."

Ariena is a lady and a courtier she has known for the past year and a half, picking up people who are likely to fit her purpose. Being close to the nobles with wise wives also seems an effective means of supporting Alexei, who has not grown up in the Kingdom of Laurent.

"Nevertheless, what is His Majesty King Rudolph haunting? There are mountains of problems in the Kingdom of Laurent, but I felt more personal."

Ariena had learned about the Kingdom of Laurent before her daughter-in-law, so did Misha, the bastard.

"I don't know if it's about Misha somehow... but when I say spy, I have a point to make, but I really need to be close. Master Alexei has nothing to say to me to make me worry, or to fear a rampage. If only we were close at a time like this, we could make them look..."

Ariena consolidates her determination to begin a full-scale search for competent proximity, saying that nothing can be done with hand-to-hand air fisting and that she cannot support Prince Alexei.

"Invite the members you want to be close by and have a tea party. That won't cost you any money. If you can get a few people close enough, you can recommend someone competent to be close enough."

Ariena finds out what she needs to do, feels a little refreshed and buries her face in her mundane white fur.

"Solis, you're going back to von Forrest. And make a family...... '

"Ariena......"

While reassuring worried Solis that she had Alexei and Xena the Dragon Rider, she spared a goodbye to her friends with her long after she was born.

"Ariena... if you sleep in here, you'll catch a cold"

At dawn, Alexei sends Misha home to find Ariena, who leaned against Solis and fell asleep.

"Welcome home. You slept with Solis..."

Alexei held Ariena up and headed to her bedroom to get some sleep, scolding her for telling her to sleep first.
