Umi to Kaze no Oukoku

17 Return home

(d) At the end of the week's visit and before the port of Zordas froze, Shaw decided to say goodbye to the Kingdom of Laurent. Discussions about the construction of the shipyard for its original purpose went well, but the problem came to my attention when I actually visited the Kingdom of Laurent.

The abduction of Misha, the smuggler case on the Berga, the crusade on the Pachens and the unscheduled issues make Shaw anxious that it is difficult to re-establish the Kingdom of Laurent once again. I was worried that Alexei, who didn't seem to be doing well with the nobles in the country, would be able to reform properly.

"I will leave the negotiation of the construction of the shipyard to Ambassador Lillick. Needless to say from me, please buy me a cheap place to build. Thank you, because the political situation is unstable, please be careful with your contract so that the sailors you invest in do not suffer harm. Because you can build a shipyard in the Kingdom of Hedge or the Kingdom of Cazaria."

Ambassador Lirik undertakes, of course.

"By the way, Prince Shaw, did you get your homework?

Is Shaw now? and laugh bitterly.

"Lady Ariena has noticed the problem, too, and she has sidelined the ladies and ladies of the Kingdom of Laurent and walked herself. Looks like he was too conscious of the ideal Crown Princess, took Crown Prince Alexei's saving route seriously, and avoided the glorious things and contacts with the ambassadors of the Kingdom of Iran, but he seems to be taking back his original active self by pulling out of his shoulders."

Ambassador Lillick nods satisfactorily as Shaw observes Ariena closely.

"Princess Rosina seems to have gotten along with Lady Ariena during her stay. That one deserves a diplomatic partner, doesn't he, Princess? It brightens the glorious winter cairon because it behaves innocently and glamorously."

Shaw also thanked Rosina as her partner and she was very helpful as she wielded a glorious atmosphere during her planned visit to the Kingdom of Laurent where the problem piled up.

"I have to give Rosina something."

Ambassador Lirick also missed Shaw and Rosina as they had a good time together during their stay at the embassy, including the abduction of Misha, the smuggling of the Berga and the crusade and problems of the Pachens, but invited Alexei and Ariena to entertain them in a Southeast Island-style manner.

Shaw and Rosina went to the Royal Palace to say hello on their return home.

King Rudolph had not yet confirmed to Misha how serious he took Shaw, so he merely asked him to greet him on his return.

Alexei and Ariena spared more remnants than King Rudolph because they were close during their stay.

"Please come back to the Kingdom of Laurent. Now I want you to come in the summer, not in the winter. Cairon's summer is lovely, with flowers blooming in unison and so beautiful. It's been a long day, so we'll all be walking and dancing in the park in the evening."

Rosina promised Ariena a reunion, but we didn't know when.

Since there will be Shaw's mitzvah next year, Crown Prince Alexei and his wife were also invited to Leite, but circumstances prevented the Crown Prince and his wife, Shaw and Rosina, from touching on the matter.

Ariena didn't say anything about it because she was unsure if she could visit Leyte next year because she was thinking of mating Alexei with the dragon rider in the spring and was hoping that she might get pregnant if it worked out.

Even as Shaw, he quit the royal palace by vaguely promising to reunite without touching on the matter, as he planned to have a wedding with Lara, not with Rosina, for his mitzvah.

Having spent his last night at the embassy, Shaw was surprised to hear that Sir Franz would be seconded in the spring as a resident ambassador to the Kingdom of Laurent.

"I guess the Kingdom of Iran has also stopped seeing the plight of Lady Ariena in the Kingdom of Laurent. Besides, I heard Sir Franz's brother, Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs Mauriz, is going to make a genuine tri-national alliance. He also committed himself to concluding an alliance with the Kingdom of Cazaria, so he also appointed his brother as ambassador in an attempt to conclude an alliance with the Kingdom of Laurent."

Remembering the chilling face like the frozen moon of Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs Mauriz, Shaw met in Jungfrau, thought that he would also push and kill years of hostility to conclude an alliance so that his country would be beneficial.

Ambassador Lillick wanted to hear from Shaw about Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs Mauriz and Sir Franz. The information on the new Minister for Foreign Affairs and Resident Ambassadors cannot be missed, however small, in order to find out where the purpose of the Kingdom of Iran's attempts to make the princess daughter-in-law and conclude a tri-national alliance lies.

"I first met Sir Franz when I was eight, but he was kind and kind to me. Plus, I don't know if it's because he's the dragon knight of Sands' parent dragon Ruth's bond, or his original personality, but he seemed like a casual person. But what makes him so good is he feels somehow. Maybe he's better at what he's supposed to be than his brother Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs Mauriz, who's too good, but he refrains from being his second son? No, you're not reluctant, you're acting swallowed because you believe in your brother."

Ambassador Lillick listens seriously to Sir Franz's personage assessment of Shaw's talk. Because the information that does not appear on the table of ambassadors of the Kingdom of Iran to the same Cairon is invaluable.

"So Sir Franz trusts his brother, Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs Mauriz, does he not? Prince Shaw, how do you feel about Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs Mauritz?

Shaw recalled his father's assessment of Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs Mauriz.

"Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs Mauritz had a reputation for being a man whose sense of duty was like wearing clothes. You said you were worried that your own daughter would marry Prince Philip and not be able to give birth to a qualitative prince of the Dragon Knight. So he wants Erica to marry Prince William."

Ambassador Lillick also knew there was an affair between Princess Erica and Prince William, but looks a little weird when he hears that Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs Mauriz, who is Prince Philip's cousin, wants it.

"The Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs of Mauriz is the father of Miss Liliana, who is to be married to Crown Prince Philip, but is not opposed to having her brother Prince William marry Princess Erica of the Dragon Knight? I can understand King Gregorius wanting Princess Erica the Dragon Knight to Prince William the Second Prince, worried that Prince Philip would not have a Dragon Knight Prince, because those who are not Dragon Knights in the odd customs of the old Empire Three Kingdoms do not attach it to the throne..."

Shaw, too, laughs at Ambassador Lillick's confusion understandably.

"I thought the same thing when I heard it from my father. But the Duke of Mauriz family was the lead duke of the Kingdom of Iran, and his father laughed that he was a solid man who valued the survival of the royal family more than his emotions and interests. Besides, we met a few times and the Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs Mauriz seemed like a perfectionist you wouldn't see in the Southeast Islands. As the head duke of the royal family, it must be a top priority for him to protect his national interests."

Ambassador Lirik frowns that he is a troublesome foreign minister.

"Are you the perfectionist foreign minister? You don't seem compatible with the ambiguity and grudginess of the Southeast Islands. Oh, they were the blood of Queen Yuri. So did you send Sir Franz to Cairon? In case you want to rescue Lady Ariena to the Kingdom of Iran, your secret life is at stake."

Shaw gets stunned when Ambassador Lillick starts delusional about the conspiracy with his head.

"In case, what? Please stop the noisy delusions."

Hi, my own ambassador. It's good to be work enthusiastic, but Shaw sighs when he has a bad habit of liking conspiracies and schemes over banquets.

"Whatever you say, Prince Shaw has also been learned in history. The history of the three former empires is a history of betrayal and rebellion. Unlike the Nationality, which is as busy making money as the Southeast Islands, and where the insurgency does not thrive, the nobles on this side are an independent armed group with territory, so they are often revolted by being fished by the covenant that they will increase their territory. The nobles who bore the burden of this Baron Hagel conspiracy would surely have thought that they could increase their territory if they set up a new king. Well, there's no need for the revolt of the nobles who stuck their greedy skin to succeed."

Shaw also studied the history of the three former empires, but he's not making that a problem, he's worried that Ambassador Lillick won't have to tour strange schemes and conspiracies.

"Please don't stick your nose in a confusing problem. It would certainly be troublesome if the tri-national alliance were signed, but I am sorry for the war between the Kingdom of Laurent and the Kingdom of Iran. That's not where the shipyard stops."

Ambassador Lillick shrugs that Prince Shaw is still sweet.

"If I were Lord Franz, you'd be making a big deal of it until Lady Ariena gave birth to a prince. Once the Prince is born, I will kindly interfere in the internal affairs of the Kingdom of Laurent in a bid to help improve the poor status quo and take Lady Ariena and the Prince out to Jungfrau to cite the incitement to rebellion. Let the angry nobles kill King Rudolph and Prince Alexei in the rebellion, well, if possible, Prince Narcisse, then set up a prince and control him... don't give him a whiff. I am not happy or sad that the Kingdom of Laurent has been conquered by the Kingdom of Iran."

Shaw grinned bitterly that he was inconsistent himself. Even the other day when I slashed and dumped Genon, I felt heavy with Zun, but I didn't feel regret, and I want to avoid war, even though I had martial arts training to be able to take command of the battle, like my father and brother Karin.

"King Lutos of the Hedge Kingdom is an asshole freak, but I can only empathize with one thing. Nothing is more economical than war. As long as you waste all that money and human resources, you can explore the wilderness or invest in research on cold resistant crops."

I thought Ambassador Lillick was a dragon knight and an unshaw-like opinion who was also headed for the crusade of the Pachens, but I admire it as strange to myself that it's a new way of thinking about not being economical.

"I see, is war uneconomic? That's an interesting view. But there are more refugees and more pirates in the Kingdom of Laurent because that war hasn't happened in the last 20 years."

I understand what Ambassador Lillick is trying to say, but Shaw is angry that it is the result of the political mistakes of the former King Georg and King Rudolph of the Kingdom of Laurent.

"I can't believe it's population adjustment in the war, down there! If food is scarce, we should have increased the arable land area and studied crops that are resistant to cold damage, like Prince Narcisse. It was peaceful for 20 years, so we should have let the soldiers open it... there is plenty of wood, and we cannot work in the fields in the winter, so even if shipbuilding is impossible, we should have made furniture, wooden products, mastered their technology and entertained the domestic industry... Why did King Georg..."

That much thought Shaw remembered a green, rocking wheat field as he crossed the Iranian kingdom in the early summer to head to Prince Stewart's wedding.

"With that greener kingdom of Iran in my neighbor, I wanted to get it in the war rather than open up my own poor land. But that's the wrong way..."

Shaw feels more horrified than ever to be Prince Wang when he may choose the wrong path as well. Ambassador Lillick perceived Shaw feeling anxious that he, like former King Georg himself, could not move the country in the wrong direction.

"Prince Shaw will not be a king who abuses his people. How about thinking about stopping the tri-national alliance from being concluded or getting on with it, rather than going beyond that? Princess Erika is likely to be married in the Kingdom of Iran, and she is a common son, but will you marry Princess Misha or Princess Shelley and make her a Quadripartite Alliance?

Shaw shook his head as he shrugged and quickly refused.

"Please stop! Even though Crown Prince Alexei is horrified because he wasn't brought up about Princess Misha. The Troika Alliance will still not be able to do the same for the time being, so I'll think about it carefully, but I just refuse to talk to you about it!

Because I absolutely don't like this! and nailed Ambassador Lillick. Shaw was on his way home.

However, Ambassador Lillick's loyalty is directed at King Aslan, and Shaw's opinion will be heard.

"Well, it all depends on what King Aslan thinks. I hear Princess Misha fell in love with Prince Shaw at first sight for helping her from the pirates, and what will be judged after reading this report..."

Ambassador Lirick entrusted the report to Leite to Captain Gracie with the embassy for delivery. While Shaw and Rosina were staying at the embassy, that was what kept Captain Gracie on standby in case, but he was boarded aboard the invincible Cadfell, so rigorously that the report would arrive before Shaw's return.
