9 Ambassador Mauritz, Pips and Seagal

Shaw is visiting Cairon to marry Misha, but is busy meeting with Ambassador Mauriz of the Kingdom of Iran. Because my father commanded me to ascertain the purpose of introducing the nearby Pips and Civilian Seagal to the diplomat of the sender and how far the discussion of the signing of the alliance with the old enemy kingdom of Laurent was progressing.

"Congratulations, Prince Shaw, on your wedding to Princess Misha."

Ambassador Franz, who welcomed me to the embassy of the Kingdom of Iran, remains a young dragon knight, but a skilled diplomat and brother of that competent Foreign Minister Mauriz. But Shaw is also used to diplomatic venues. Introduce the escorts in a serene manner that does not make them feel like they are here to scout for the Trinity Alliance.

"Long time no see. This is an imperial-style wedding, so I brought my bridegroom's entourage to Cairon. You know the faces of these pips, who sometimes send them to Jungfrau and Cairon in my name."

Franz exchanges greetings with Pipps with a stranger because he is a skilled diplomat there, although he understood the purpose of Prince Shaw, who came to explore the possibilities of the tri-national alliance, in Cairon, who visited him in his marriage to Misha.

"I saw your face several times at the Royal Palace in Jungfrau. Sir Pipps, from now on, I'm going to see you a lot in Cairon."

Pips, too, is not a simple boy from the cold village of the Golce continent, but a naval officer in the Southeast Islands, a dragon knight in the Sirin bond and has experience as a side of King Shaw Prince.

"Ambassador Mauritz, I'm immature, but I need your guidance."

Franz knew in a report that Prince Shaw had found Pips in a lair on the Golce continent. Finding one descendant after another against Wombin Island and Izmal Island, a good old empire, makes me want to tongue heartily at the strong luck I have on my side.

"This one, too, is Seagal, who will be my escort. I'm a friend of mine who went to the University of Paloma with me."

Franz knows that the quiet Seagal is the grandson of that former Prime Minister Flanagan. I knew it was someone I had to observe carefully, but my story with Pips, who is really a dragon knight, becomes central.

"Prince William told me that your dragon riding cylinder is at its highest age. Good thing you got a dragon."

Seagal was eagerly listening to the conversation between Ambassador Franz and King Shaw and the Pips, observing whether there were any clues as to the extent to which the negotiations for the troika were progressing. Of course, an ambassador who is a skilled diplomat does not divulge information about his country. However, in the attitude Ambassador Franz could afford, I felt that there had been a rather friendly discussion.

The very long stay made me feel unnatural, so Shaw and the others headed back to the embassy in the Southeastern Islands just around the corner to get in shape that he had come to say hello to visiting Cairon.

"How was it? How did Ambassador Mauriz react?

Shaw laughs bitterly at Ambassador Lillick as he waits to return.

"Ambassador Franz was delighted that Shirin got the dragon. He's quite a dragon fool, too."

Ambassador Lillick is not interested in dragons. I almost opened my mouth that it was not the case, but I suspected that King Shaw wanted the other two to identify the person.

"Seagal, not much to add to the story, was observing Ambassador Franz, but what did you think?

Seagal is satisfied that he is likely to serve at the same time as he is surprised that King Shaw was noticing even though he was observing from a place where he had stepped back.

"Ambassador Mauritz was aware of the purpose of our visit. And while we were talking about dragons, he just turned his gaze on me because he must have thought he was getting some instructions from his grandfather."

Ambassador Lillick nodded with satisfaction that his grandson, Seagal, had excellent observational eyes, as he respected former Prime Minister Flanagan, who had supported the reign of the great King Aslan.

"Did Pipps ever feel anything?

It was all about dragons, but did you notice anything about Pips, too? and Shaw asks. I don't serve as a civilian like Seagal, but Pips, a dragon knight, also has many opportunities to make countries visit as his own nominees. He wants to train his eyes to spot people.

"Ambassador Mauritz is a gentle, gentle man. But they won't be the only reason they put out the story of Cyrin's child dragon because Sands is their mate, so they become descendants of their own dragon riding. Is that person concerned about my ancestors who resisted the Old Empire and about the incorporation of the inhabitants of Wombin and Izmal islands into the United Kingdom of the Southeast Islands?

Shaw, you've spotted Pipps so well! and praise.

"The ambassador, being Queen Yuri's cousin, may have special thoughts about those who resisted the Old Empire. Stay close and know the magic of Queen Yuri."

Ambassador Lillick, what are you talking about? And I'm in a hurry even though I don't understand.

"Queen Yuri is from the Von Forrest family who rebelled against the old empire. Professor Alex of the University of Paloma thought you might be descended from the magic kingdom of Singh."

Ambassador Lillick remembered Sin, the magical kingdom destroyed by the old empire he learned a long time ago.

"So, this Pips, are you also descended from the magic kingdom of Singh? I've learned to wonder if it really existed... well, Queen Yuri's magic is strong because she's the descendant of the magic kingdom Singh."

In the name of Professor Alex, Seagal, who was clapping his shoulders, makes a serious face when Prince Shaw asks him about the progress of negotiations between Zuba and the Trinity Alliance.

"Ambassador Mauritz, you're pretty much in the process of negotiating a tri-national alliance. Miss Tatiana, Prince Narcisse's fiancée, has a large number of competent brothers and relatives. Wouldn't that be around telling friends and acquaintances about the advantages of the Trinity Alliance?"

Ambassador Lillick and Prince Shaw nodded satisfactorily to Seagal, who judged not only the impression he had received from Ambassador Mauritz, but also the relatives of Miss Tatiana, whom he had met at Misha's pre-nuptial dinner party and so forth.

After Pips and Seagal quit the study, Shaw asked Ambassador Lillick about the possibilities and benefits of the Quadripartite Alliance.

"The tri-national alliance will soon be concluded. King Georg's heirs are getting old, and Prince Alexei is intimately dating the parents of Prince Nicolai's alumni. And Prince Narcisse's engagement to Miss Tatiana, who has many relatives, has made his relationship with the nobles of his country friendly. The Quartet is very beneficial as the United Kingdom of the South-East Islands, which flags free trade…"

Shaw glances back at his uppermost eyes. The Kingdom of Iran is engaged to Prince William and Erica. Marriage to Princess Misha of the Kingdom of Laurent is near. But I'm not going to marry Princess Shelley of the Kingdom of Cazaria! and also refuses to put it in my mouth.

Ambassador Lillick sighed, looking at the back of King Shaw Prince, who had just cut up the story and left, if not for this matter, he would be the best King Prince.
