Umi to Kaze no Oukoku

"Look, I see the port of Zordas! It's the shipyard that looks small on the other side."

Shaw tells Lily about the shipyard on the north side of the port of Zordas.

"Well! I must visit the shipyard."

Lily was reluctant to leave the rear palace, where she was pregnant, to go abroad, but in Yungfrau, where she had stopped by to see how Mimi was doing, she and Queen Yuri had a meaningful time visiting vocational training centers for women and discussing improvement measures.

"I'll give you a tour later. I haven't inspected it in a while either, so let's go together."

The port of Zordas and Cairon are apart, so the highly maneuverable Pips were also brought as a side. Cyrin's Pippin and Sands' Fleur are being protected by Meryl.

"Come on, let's head to Cairon's embassy!

Put Lily on the Sands. Captain Wonder and Seagal also head to the embassy in the cylinder of Pips.

"Welcome, Prince Shaw, Dear Lily,"

Introduce Ambassador Lillick, who welcomed me, to Seagal.

"He is Seagal, who will accompany me. Let me help you with your wedding with Misha."

Ambassador Lillick nods in an attempt to work out as a diplomat, guessing that Seagal, the grandson of former Chancellor Flanagan, would not have been brought here on purpose as an entourage to the bridegroom.

While Lily dresses to greet the royal palace, Shaw, along with Captain Pipps and Captain Wonder and Seagal, is briefed on the wedding steps in the Kingdom of Laurent.

"Princess Misha is not officially recognized as a princess, so there is no more official event. Unlike the Southeast Islands, however, weddings take place here in a grand flair"

Shaw had attended several royal weddings in the Old Empire Three Kingdoms, so I'm horrified to hear that there aren't many official events.

"Prince Shaw, even though King Rudolph says there are no official events, he wants Princess Misha as his own daughter to be his daughter-in-law to the Southeast Islands. Prince Alexei and Lady Ariena, Prince Narcisse and her fiancée, Miss Tatiana, will be invited to dinner. We have to invite you to the embassy."

Looking pretty tough, Shaw sighs. However, we shall leave this matter to Lillick, the resident ambassador of the Kingdom of Laurent.

"Oh, I'd like to see Ambassador Mauriz, but if I can, can I see him informally? I'd like to introduce Pips and Seagal, and in an easygoing atmosphere, I'd like to explore the possibilities of a tri-national alliance. Does Ambassador Lillick believe that it can be concluded?

Ambassador Lillick was, of course, checking Sir Franz's behavior.

"The legacy of the former King Georg is quite retired, because there are still many former Imperial Reconstructionists. Sir Franz is working hard and ground-building for the Trinity Alliance, but it will take some time. But Prince Alexei and Prince Narcisse have also become familiar, little by little, with the young nobles of the country. The proximity of Lady Ariena, the parents of Prince Nicolai's alumni, and the friends of Prince Narcisse's fiancée, Miss Tatiana, are in favor of the troika."

The younger generation has not experienced a war with the Kingdom of Iran, so I nod that there is probably less resistance to the tri-national alliance as well. However, the elderly heavy ministers themselves experience defeat, so they remain emotional lumps.

"Seagal, Pips, and Sir Franz will be Queen Yuri's cousins, and that Mauriz Foreign Secretary's brother. He's calm and gentle, but he's an excellent diplomat, so it's no harm to see him. Plus, he's the dragon knight of Sands' parent Ruth's bond."

Ambassador Lirik nods that he was sent to Reite's embassy when he was young, so to speak.

"Thank you for waiting. Aren't you laughing because you're not wearing an imperial-style dress?

Since it's a cold Laurent kingdom, I bought a design from Jungfrau that has less skin exposure, but Lily cares more about her body line being dewy than Southeast Islands clothes. Shaw will wear black mink fur.

"You look great! Let's go to the royal palace."

Escort Lily and head to the royal palace to say hello. Pips and Wonders had stayed in the Kingdom of Laurent before, so they were prepared for the cold, but Seagal is surprised to be cold even in a thick coat.

"It's still autumn, but it's cold. New Paloma was cold too, but I didn't know Cairon was this cold. The harbor must freeze too."

Knowledge shows that the Kingdom of Laurent was studying the history of adopting a southbound policy in search of an unfrozen port, but experienced the actual cold and smudged itself, Seagal says with trembling.

"Look, Lily. Sometimes you won't know until you actually come to the site."

Shaw is good at telling Lily, who was reluctant to leave the newborn prince and the pregnant princesses to go out. Lily nods thoughtfully that it is good to go abroad. Because if the education of princes and princesses starts in earnest from now on, you can't leave the backhouse for the time being. Now that she is still being raised at her mother's disposal, she was fortunate enough to explain her life in the rear palace to Princess Misha.

"I heard Princess Misha is a very dear lady. A little, life in the rear palace can be hard. I wanted to see you soon, too."

I wanted to discuss with you a lot before marriage that Princess Misha, who would be married from a monogamous country, would have a lot to worry about. Shaw heads to the royal palace, explaining the people of the Kingdom of Laurent.
