Chapter 108:Ā Surprising Character and Surprising Change
TN: Following the suggestions, I decided on Emirya instead. Emil or Emile would be wrong since the āyaā part was omitted.
<hr>
Ā
I unexpectedly met with Prince Emirya and began talking with him afterwards.
Emirya Gaza Casteles was the third prince of the southern country and one of the main characters in the manga.
Right now, he was staying in this country to marry either Angela or Merrill.
He had a very active personality and I had met him in the castle afterwards.
Ā
(I had thought about not being involved.)
Ā
He was a prince, so I couldnāt behave rudely.
The subjects were about the boot camp of the southern country and about the special products of each country.
Those were interesting topics for me too.
Ā
[ā¦Hee, so thereās aloe in the southern country.]
[Un, itās warm there after all. You know about aloe? It can be harvested in my country, candelabra aloe and aloe vera.]
[As expected, theyāre used as medicines.]
[The stomach medicine is bitter. And it can be used as paint when burned⦠do you want it?]
[Iād like to use it for spots and freckles prevention, so I certainly want it, but I donāt have the connections to obtain aloe from southern country. Itās only about raw materials of perfumes like musk that our domain deals with the southern country.]
[If you donāt mind, shall I arrange it? As an exchange with Hakusu territoryās soap.]
Ā
Soap seemed to be introduced to the royal family of southern country.
It seemed because we launched off soap when we traded for musk.
Ā
[But, for a prince to do soā¦]
[Itās fine. My older brother was saying that he wanted me to give his regards to you. As much as possible, I have been told to provide convenience.]
Ā
Following Emiryaās words, I tilted my head.
I had never met the other princes of southern country, and I couldnāt remember why he would say his āregardsā to me.
Emirya also smiled wryly because he also felt it.
Ā
[My older brother ā the second prince, has a part thatās somewhat similar to you. He was the first to find the use of musk and aloe was also spread by him. Besides, he also cooked dishes with various spices and he created many mysterious things. Itās just like when you made soap and cosmetics.]
Ā
Soap and face lotion from Hakusu territory.
Those were spread by Ryuze, but somehow Prince Emirya had concluded that I was the one who created them.
Ā
[Then, there is a message from my older brother for you.]
[A message?]
[Well, āIf you are the same as me, it must be a pain to be in your current position. Feel free to escape to the south when it seems that you are about to die.ā, thatās his message. Thereāre also āif you miss Japanese food, I hope you come and visitā, āsince Iām not a man knowledgeable with beauty products, I definitely want to spread the beauty culture of middle country in the southern countryāā¦]
[ā¦!!]
Ā
That alone was enough. I understood who Emiryaās brother was.
Ā
(Japanese food⦠heās a Japanese person like me!? And he knows about the original Britney!?)
Ā
I didnāt know what means he used, but the second prince knew about me.
He judged comprehensively that I was different from the original and from the invention of soap, so he decided that I was a reincarnated Japanese person. Certainly, that shojou manga only circulated in Japan.
However, Prince Emirya didnāt mention the memories of previous life, so the second prince might have blurred the details about reincarnation.
Ā
Since the southern country and Hakusu territory were far away, it would be hard to think about probing me⦠but recently I had went to the capital city more often.
So I might have been secretly investigated by officials of southern country.
Ā
(From now on⦠letās be more careful about my surroundings.)
Ā
By the way, the country where we were now was called āmiddle countryā by other countries. Itās just around the middle of the continent.
The main countries of this continent were the northern country, the middle country, the southern country and the eastern country. Thereās a western country across the sea.
Other small states were scattered around.
Ā
(I suppose heās an unexpected ally. I would like to see him if possible, but itās impossible in reality.)
Ā
Aside from being completely trustworthy, the second prince seemed to be friendly to me since weāre fellow reincarnates.
Ā
[By the way, is Prince Emirya friendly with your older brothers?]
[There are three of us, but all of us are friendly with each other. My middle brother mediates everyoneās relationships. Some of our retainers antagonize each other, but we are united and didnāt fight.]
Ā
The brothers of southern country didnāt have terrible relationships like the northern country.
Ā
(If nothing can be done, Iāll rely on his help. That and I want to trade aloe.)
Ā
From what I heard, the second prince seemed to be good in cooking.
Since he was a prince, he must have surprised his surroundings by developing interesting food one after another.
Ā
[Ano, maybe⦠has Prince Emirya planned on meeting me from the beginning?]
[Thatās right, since my older brother is concerned about you. I was lucky to meet you by chance in the castle.]
[In this world, we never know what will happen.]
Ā
I noticed a possibility.
Ā
(Maybe there are other reincarnates other than me and him. Maybe the difference of this worldās culture can be explained?)
Ā
If there were other reincarnated Japanese people, and had spread the knowledge of their past life in their field of interest⦠perhaps it led to the current status.
Thereās no way to prove it, and I wouldnāt go out of my own speculations.
Ā
(This is the world of a shojou manga.)
Ā
After considering, I asked Prince Emirya.
Ā
[Prince Emirya, have you already met the princesses?]
[Aa, I also met with Prince Lucas.]
Ā
Iād like to ask which one did he like, but I didnāt want to get entangled with politics. Prince Emirya wouldnāt say anything thoughtless.
I decided to refrain from asking, but the prince unexpectedly advanced the story.
Ā
[Princess Angela is an interesting woman, just like as you said. Princess Merrill is a beautiful woman⦠Prince Lucas seemed to be raising the temperature.]
Ā
Lucasā attitude was understandable.
Ā
(Not just Angela, even this prince has noticed.)
Ā
The prince who was attracted to physical appearance picked Merrill.
Ā
[I prefer Princess Angela though. Maa, itās good that our opinions didnāt cause each other to suffer.]
[ā¦Is that so?]
[It is. What do you think, isnāt Princess Angela better?]
[In a political significance⦠is it?]
Ā
Certainly, objectively, the first princess Angelaās value was high.
Ā
(She is raised as a princess so sheās a true princess.)
Ā
The personality that ruined things was improved to some extent thanks to Prince Marlowās education.
Ā
(For me, Iād like to support Angela.)
Ā
Saying something or other, Angela had called me her friend. To me, she was also an important friend. I didnāt want her to be sad and miserable.
If Prince Emirya chose Angela, she wouldnāt be a leftover. Howeverā¦
Angela didnāt want some dry politic maneuvers and wished for love instead!
Ā
[Of course, that is right. Personally, I prefer her more.]
[E�]
Ā
Unintentionally, I stared at him.
Ā
(What did he mean? Whatās different from the originalā¦!?)
Ā
While I was disturbed, Prince Emirya smiled as if he was having fun.
Ā
[If thereās no big problem in the contents, I as the third prince usually will choose Princess Angela. Personally, I find it to be fun to play around with something, so to speak. Maa, it seems that I made her a little angry when we first met.]
Ā
As his said so, his amber eyes were sparkling.
Ā
(What did Prince Emirya do!?)
Ā
In my mind, my feeling of relief āthatās good!ā and my unease āis it alright!?ā were jumbled together.
