Put aside plenty of time, the voice I could squeeze out was like a loose one during that time.
The wild man sitting in front of me, the man who named himself Fall, is the royal brother of the neighbouring country? Is that what you just named yourself?
âOrder first? Seriously, can I get you some tea?â
âI will place an appropriate orderâ
âWhoa, pleaseâ
As Falgana and Priscilla try to take orders as they are used to, I gradually realize that my thoughts have returned. Or is it true? The name.
â⊠I donât believe in bouldersâ
âOops. Iâm nothing. The royal familyâs unconscious, too, huh? Whatever, heâs my brother, whoâs no different than the daughter of the current emperor. For me, my brother is not my father, and Iâm treated like a royal family because itâs so confusing.â
âThough I heard the Emperor had an older brotherâŠâ
My mother has told me that the current emperor of the Aylene Empire is quite famous. It strikes me that that mother was laughing belligerently with a man who wouldnât be alarmed.
I hear that at present the Aylene Empire is investing in its internal affairs in an attempt to strengthen its control over its enlarged territory. Anything that the previous emperor liked to fight well, invading the territory opposite the Kingdom of Palletia will continue to take in.
However, it is not enough to maintain a swollen national territory, and I have heard that the present emperor, who was excellent in that regard, took power in such a way that he could leave his predecessor.
And after the reign of the current emperor, after a while, it was confirmed that the child of the current emperor and his younger brother were not so different, which has been a bit of a topic of discussion in the Kingdom of Palettia.
â⊠its royal brother?
âOoh.â
â⊠why is my royal brother in an adventurerâs guild in my neighboring country?
âCause Iâm an adventurer.
âŠâŠâŠâŠ
âHe looks like heâs got a headache, but heâs the one who gets it all back to himself.â
âShut up, Priscillaâ
Iâm not fat enough to be an adventurer in my neighboring country!
The product ordered while I was thinking about it arrived and Falgana took the tea and drank it.
âWell, what made me an adventurer. Itâs recent. Compared to Princess Anisphere, the rush for new America.â
â⊠in the first place, why an adventurer in the Kingdom of Palettia?
âThatâs your fault, Princess Anisphere.â
âI?â
Falgana has said it as she pokes her finger at me with pleasure. Why are you blaming me?
âOriginally, I studied at the Aristocratic Academy in the Kingdom of Palettia.â
â⊠Were you?
My brother told me to study with the hostages.
â⊠I seeâ
âAnd if I can finally invite someone from a powerful aristocracy as my daughter-in-law, it feels like your word.â
The nobility of the Kingdom of Palettia, or more precisely the blood of a wizard, is often desired by his daughter-in-law and son-in-law from other countries. International students from other countries are invited to the College of Aristocrats, in part because of strong demands from such other countries.
However, I have not heard much nobility talk about leaving the country. The nobility of the Kingdom of Palettia has a strong conservative side, both good and bad. So few people want to marry another country until they leave the land where they are accustomed to live. Assuming the person is attracted to each other, it is difficult to conclude if the engagement itself is not profitable.
â⊠Lady Falgana isâ
âFallâs fine, letâs not be toughâ
â⊠Has Master Falgana graduated yet?
âYou have a hard guardâŠâŠ Yeah, I just graduated. By the way, Iâm the same age as Priscilla.â
âOn one of mineâŠâŠ why are you doing adventurers without going back to the country when youâre graduating?
âSo youâre the reason.â
âWhy am I the cause?â
âBecause I wanted to propose to you.â
Heh, he wanted to propose to meâŠâŠâŠâŠ
â⊠what?
âWow, you seriously hate men. You look amazing, princess.â
âIâm sorry, but Iâve never seen you before, have I?
âWhoa. This is the first time weâve met, huh?
â⊠so you were trying to propose to me?
âShould we talk about it from that background?â
Falgana began to elucidate as she scratched her head awkwardly about how I looked disgusted.
âI came to this country for the purpose of paying for trouble, getting an education, and getting a loving wife. I had a desire to have a good woman with me, and my brother took care of me while I was in a difficult position. Well, I thought Iâd do what I could to repay you.â
â⊠so?
âSo, if youâre going to be my daughter-in-law â I thought youâd be the most convenient, Princess Anisphere. Oh, donât get me wrong, all right? I donât have any feelings about it right now, I can see you donât have a pulse in your current reaction.â
Falgana smiles bitterly and tells me. So I was able to pull my strength out of my body, which was just a little tense.
âEach other, royalty and royalty. You got your mark, donât you? Besides, you had a terrible reputation when Prince Algard was supposed to be the next king. It was strange from me.â
â⊠my demonic props were the aim?
âThatâs right. Your magic props are amazing, and even people who canât use magic can do magical things. Is there such a strange story about people who canât grow their talents in your country? Also, once I officially applied for a pageantâŠ?
âI donât.â
âI guess.â
If Al was still in the Wang capital, it would be time for me to stay in the cage without trying to connect with the outside world. I would have stuck around saying I didnât want to get married either, and some Lord Grants was putting me in danger, and I wouldnât have allowed the royal family of another country to marry me.
âWell, thatâs why I gave up wanting to welcome Princess Anisphere as my wife. Itâs a waste of magic tricks. I canât get engaged, but I was hoping to have a friendship with you somehow⊠itâs going to play beautifully, itâs not on the table, so I was in trouble, too.â
â⊠ha. So why the adventurer?
âIf weâre gonna get a chance to get magic props, weâre gonna have to be adventurers. Iâm narrow on my shoulders when I get back to the Empire, and if I did well, I might have met Princess Anisphere.â
⊠For once, I know why. My head hurts a little, though.
â⊠how do you know His Royal Highness? Priscilla.â
I turn to Priscilla, who was drinking tea with a cool face to stare at. The reason Falgana is in the Kingdom of Palletia is, well, convincing. But then where the hell do you know Priscilla and how does it relate? Thatâs my next question.
âI have to tell you a little bit about the evil deeds of the Earl of Soussarahâ
âWhat? Bad deeds?
âYes. Firstly, slavery is not permitted in the Kingdom of Palletia. Iâm not allowed to own it either.â
â⊠why are you talking about slaves?
âBecause he is a child born between me and the mother of slaves I bought from the Aylene Empire. Originally, you can be named a nobleman.â
I opened my eyes to Priscillaâs confession in surprise. I honestly canât believe that Priscilla is a slave child. But I donât even think Iâm gonna lie in this situation again.
It is true that slavery exists in the Aylene Empire. I do not know that it is a different culture from the Kingdom of Palettia and that it may be a necessary system for an empire that has swallowed many nations by war. Still repugnant though.
â⊠the possession of slaves is illegal. How many slaves are legal in the empire?â
âYes. So I wasnât raised as a decent aristocratic daughter. My mother, too, grew up not being taught she was my mother. Thatâs what they told me at an early age when they took me away as a bastard.â
â⊠Was Count Soothsarah still active?
âFor once, we have placed ourselves in the consultative capacity of the Ministry of the Spirit, but thatâs a de facto retirement. My job as the Lord has almost taken over from my brother as well. Oh, donât worry, my brother is a proper wifeâs child. My brother hasnât even been informed of the details.â
âPhewâŠâ
Tong, and. While suppressing frustration, I slap my finger on my desk to turn my thoughts.
âWhen did you find out where you came from?
âIt was secretly communicated to my mother. I firmly recognized her as my mother only after she died.â
â⊠dead?
Visit wuxiaworld.eu for extra chapters.
âIsnât it funny to hear about the end of a secret slave?
So Iâm uncomfortable with Priscilla. I immediately realized that I was staring at Priscilla as to where that discomfort was coming from.
Because Priscillaâs eyes, which were always thin and narrow, are clearly open. Empty eyes are staring back at me.
âThe Countess of Sorcerer seemed to abuse her mother because she had a great deal of eclampsia and was a slave. My father seemed very fond of mocking my mother like thatâŠâ
âOkay. Iâm sorry, I donât ask anymoreâ
âThank you for your concernâŠ. By the way, the color of my eyes is my mother giving in. If I didnât like it a few times, my wife was about to creep me out, so it became a habit to narrow it down completely.â
âHe said he knew!
Just imagine what Priscilla was being treated like, and the depths of her belly have been grumpy. Can we still grab the evidence and stick the Earl of Soothsarah up�
âThatâs why I grew up as a very depressed child.â
â⊠about yourself, right?
âIsnât that right? Specifically, it wasnât a good idea to try and destroy the house.â
â⊠not even now?
âBecause itâs already a dead body. Iâm no longer worthy of revenge.â
âDead body?â
âBy Her Majesty Queen Uphilia, the values that the man believed in were overshadowed from the ground up. Honorable positions are also pursued, just leaving their names at the earliest. And Iâm such a fool to get more fatal injuries just to reveal the truth. By now, youâd be rubbing my mind just because Iâm alive.â
Priscillaâs expression with a smile on her face is heartfelt fun. But the expression is filled with dark joy.
Priscilla, who was haunted by demonic signs, but inadvertently pulls her power to smile the usual.
âI never went to college, but instead I was told to be a samurai and learn to work. So I happened to know Fall when I was on holiday looking around Castle Town.â
âI was surprised to hear that this guy had been eager to watch Ayleneâs souvenirs for a long time, and when he accidentally dictated, she was a samurai with a royal castle. Then we have a cooperative relationship, which is convenient for each other.â
â⊠so much so that I can convince you that thatâs what the relationship between you and me is all about.â
Damn it, itâs good with the Chartreuse family, good with the Sorcerer family, something Iâve always liked. Hopefully it wonât have a negative impact on the younger generation today who took over the spiritual ministry from the Ministry of MagicâŠâŠ
â⊠so? Is this raid, I mean, the thoughts of the Aylene Empire?
âIt will. I just donât want you to get me wrong. Some extremists have taken action.â
âWhy?â
âI think you realize, because youâve begun to augment your armaments by spreading demonic props. Even though it is a country with many wizards, even civilians will be able to use pseudo-magic. Many felt threatened by it.â
After all, huh? And itâs going to stir up vigilance, which leads to this raid.
âEven now, the Empire is after the territory of the Kingdom of Palletia. There are endless spiritual resources here. Plus, there are a lot of wizards, and they also invest in their inheritance. If we can take in the kingdom, the reunification of the continent is not a dream.â
âMagnificent dreams,â
âHowever, my brotherâŠâŠ the current emperor is not going to set it up at least on his own behalf. Rather, he wants to actively establish friendship with the Kingdom of Palletia. Youâre here, Princess Anisphere.â
â⊠am I popular?
âAh. So even inside the Empire, your assessment is truly twofold. I donât know if Iâm going to be flexible here right now, or if Iâm going to do anything about it.â
Youâve been quoted high enough to say Iâm an empire. I accidentally attach my hand to my jaw.
âWorst case scenario, if you can bring it to war, letâs crush it with total force, what a bunch of guysâ
â⊠barbaric.â
âThatâs all Iâm in a hurry for. Your magic is so dangerous and worth it at the same time. Especially when it comes to flying.â
âSo you told Priscilla you were running information?
âWow. Priscilla gave me this information in return.â
Iâm not a spy! I stare at Priscilla on the side, but where is the wind blowing?
âWe didnât tell each other anything that was going to be important. I also heard about the recent forbidden love between Her Majesty the Queen and Her Royal Highness the King.â
â-⊠heh, Iâll kill youâ
âYikes, Master Falgana, help -â
âHey here! Donât shield your royal brother!
Here, this guyâŠ! Of other countries, what information are you giving to the royal family tooâŠ!! Spy is a confession, heh, then you make me fly my neck legallyâŠ!!
âAll right, hereâs a serious story from here! Princess Anisphere, I wanted a chance to make contact with you to negotiate!
â⊠negotiation?
âOh, in short, I want you to sell demon propsâ
â I say no.
I turned off my playfulness and froze all my emotions and answered. Falgana also tightens her expression if she notices my change.
âI canât decide where I live, but as a creator of the concept of magic and magic props in this world, I have to face what this technology creates. I donât want to say no because the magic tricks are convenient. I canât take responsibility, so I donât want to sell magic artifacts to other countries.â
âResponsibility, responsibilityâŠâ
âFor you too, the magic artifact is an unknown technology, and one that has not yet been popularized in the Kingdom of Palletia. What would you do if you couldnât solve a problem with the magic props and you werenât familiar with the magic that started with me? You want to come over the hedge of country and ask me? Or do you blame me for the glitch and demand compensation? There is no more chance of sending magic props outside the kingdom than there is such a risk. Thatâs why I forbid it.â
Of course, there is also a reason that demonic props are in danger of being used as weapons of aggression. But the first reason I donât want to export demon props is because I canât take responsibility for problems caused by demon prop glitches, etc.
I want to avoid being a problem between states because of demonic props causing problems. Therefore, Uffi is working to ensure that the production of dangerous items, magic props, and physical spills are strictly regulated among his knowledge of magic.
â⊠I donât think your statement is a legitimate idea as a technician or founder. I also realize in this body that there is no intention of aggression in the Kingdom of Palletia. â But the Empire isnât.â
âŠâŠâŠâŠ
âOf course, if you sue Princess Anisphere directly with me, youâll pass. I donât have a sweet idea. But⊠â Youâre already being targeted. Thatâs all I want you to know.â
The words that Falgana had spoken were conveyed with deep, heavy, crushing pressures on my stomach.
