As he walked down the hallway leading to the king's private room, he was wondering what was going on.

During this time, the king should be in office and it is rare to be in a private room. I often meet my father during dinner. Is it an unpleasant task at that time?

I arrived in front of the king's private room. The guard's guard knight nodds at Dulsim and Carrot. Of course, they are acquaintances who have been serving since childhood.

Dulsim knocked on the door and opened the door a little, and said, "Her Princess is here."

"Get in"

When I entered the room, my brother was there and was very surprised.

"Father, I asked you to call."

"Oh, Clelia. I'm sorry to call you suddenly."

"It's been a long time! Clelia"

It's been a long time to meet my brother. Is it about three months?

"It's been a long time!

My brother is a dependable brother who always loves me. pleasure meeting you.

"I'm going to do it right now, but I'm thinking about getting Clelia to go on a domestic tour."

I wonder what my brother was going to see and has just returned. Certainly, it's OK to go on a visit, but it's usually more frequent.

"Of course, I can't help but is there any reason?"

"Isn't it better to tell Clelia everything? Clelia is no longer a child."

"Yes, that's right. Alf, please talk."

"Clelia, I don't know I've been to the south and west."

"Of course I know."

The south and west are areas where the nobles of the former Alois kingdom often rule.

The Kingdom of Alois was a country annexed to the Kingdom of Starweg 162 years ago. An annexed area where the major nobles of the Alois kingdom relieved and ruled the aristocracy. However, in some parts of the country, the doctrine is often different from the old Starväk nobles.

According to his brother, he visited major cities in the south and west, but found some unrest. There is no particular evidence of this, but trivial things, such as the strangely noble attitude of the nobility, the feeling of something unrestful, the number of soldiers inspected more than the reported number If you say that, it's just a matter of getting rid of it, but it is worrisome.

"Maybe the south and the west will rebel?"

"No, Clelia. I and my father haven't thought that far yet, but it's true."

"But my father has worked hard to improve the relationship between the south and west nobles."

Yes, as an appeasement policy for the southern and western aristocrats, five years ago, the nobles of the southern and western bloodlines were recruited to the military minister, the head of the army, and the finance minister, the head of finance, respectively.

They were both talented people and made some groundbreaking reforms that surprised others. However, it was a fact that the renewal of personnel in the process was a little problematic.

In addition, there are still noble children from the southern nobles in the concubine.

"Yes, I know what I mean, but I don't think I'm going to rebel right away as Alf said, so I'd like you to go east and north."

"I have to deal with these things with my father, so I cannot leave the royal city."

Indeed, if the south and west look strange, it's natural to see the east and north. The East and North are the places where the old Starweg nobles rule. At worst, even if the South and the West rebel, they can compete in the East and the North. This is an important task. You have to get it done.

"Father, this cleria, eastern and northern inspection, certainly worshiped."

After that, my brother briefly told me what to watch and what to watch.

Alf sees Clelia leaving the king's private room.

I didn't want to give Clelia any extra prejudice, so I didn't say that not all south and west were ruled by the nobility of the former Alois kingdom.

The 40% of the nobles in the south and west are nobles created by the ancestors of the old Starweg kingdom. I did not dare to say that these 40% of the aristocrats were included in this visit.

Hopefully the same goes for Clelia's visit.

Alf returned with his father to work out ways to improve the situation.

When he came out of the king's private room, Fal was waiting and ran up to me.

"Cleria, what is a king's patronage?"

"I'm going to visit east and north. Will you follow me? Fal"

"Of course! Clelia."

After that, I was busy preparing for the inspection. He was just an adult last year, and his first visit was full of things he couldn't understand.

Three days later, the day of departure was given. Greetings have been completed for both father, brother and mother. My mother told me that I was careful about what he was listening to.

My older brother came to see me off. happy!

"Be careful, Clelia. Stunningly, do your part."

"Of course, brother. I'll go."

Escorts have 80 guard knights and their followers. There was even the commander of the Knights of Antes. And here and there are some who have served since I was a child.

My father's overprotection for me was also famous at the Royal Palace, but I thought I had to get rid of it someday.

He traveled through the city where 500,000 people of the royal city live and went on a tour.

The inspection was successful. However, as he traveled around several towns, he began to feel uncomfortable.

Highly aristocrats are enthusiastically welcomed, but some of the nobles below it are welcome, but approached with a modest attitude that seems to be a step back. I feel like that.

Do you feel this because the ranks are different? He told Fal that he didn't feel like that.

The inspection process has progressed and it is finally the end. Three months have passed since we left the Imperial City. This land is governed by Ludwig Marc, his mother's parents' home. Margin Haku is his mother's older brother. He was fervently welcomed as a matter of course.

The next day we arrived, the door in my room was knocked. Fal wakes up quickly from the next room and does what.

"Someone!?"

"I'm Konsho's Dalsim. I want to have an audience with the Princess at an emergency as an angel of the frontiers. I refused, but by all means he said."

If not, there is no means. This is inside the frontier's castle. Nod to Fal. "Wait a minute," said Fal, and immediately began to prepare for myself.

There was a marginal deity and an old aristocrat, presumed to be in his entourage, in the guided room.

"I'm sorry to call you at such a time, Princess Highness," said Margin Haku.

"Good, more than that."

"Hayama has arrived from the capital city.

Unexpectedly, I was able to endure my voice.

"How big is it?"

"I can't say for sure, but it's probably 60-70% of the south and west nobles, 20-30% of the east and north nobles, and about 60% of the army."

Calculate quickly. More than half of the nobles and the army ...

"Who is the frontier?"

Fal next to it hears and puts his hand on the sword.

"His Highness, no, my niece Clelia, don't hear me sad. I'm proud of my Ludovik family having been loyal to the Starvine family for 300 years since its inception, not to the Starweg kingdom. The house that came.

"My uncle, I was so upset that I couldn't help. Please forgive me."

Yes, don't misunderstand the enemy or ally. If you were an enemy, you wouldn't know this.

Ask your uncle for details.

The beginning of the incident began twenty days ago when the king summoned himself to the military minister, Lord Alois, as if he had something to ask, but ignored it.

He contacted a military official close to the palace to find out what was happening, but none of them had been contacted. Two days after being summoned, Alois raised his army and the aristocrat seemed to rebel to match it.

The royal city was closed off, and the royal palace surrounded by the army fell in three days.

"My father !? My mother and brother!"

My uncle is shaking his head.

"He was decapitated in the square in front of the Royal Castle. The charges are alleged to sell to Alam."

"Stupid! Impossible!"

The Alam Holy Land is often a neighbor that has threatened our territory.

"I know. No one believes this, including foes."

"That's right! I have to regain the royal capital immediately!"

"His Highness, now is the time to put together the nobles of the East and North in the name of the princess and prepare to meet and approach the oncoming enemies."

That is exactly what my uncle said. The army is an enemy, even if only the rebels are noble. You can't compete with half-power.

"I'm sorry, my uncle, blood was on my head."

"What are the feelings together, Princess Highness. I stigmatized my Lord and her cute little sister and put them on my hands, and I'm sure they'll regret them!"

My uncle, who killed himself, said it.

I wrote dozens of letters in the morning, as directed by my uncle's elder chief, the Order of the Elders, informing them of the atrocities in the Imperial City and calling for convening. More than two hundred knights scatter to the east and north nobles to deliver the letter.

I noticed something was wrong when I sent the messenger the third morning.

Too late. It is about time that some replies may come from the noble territories near the marginal territory, and it is past the time the knights have returned. I have a bad feeling.

Finally, on the morning of the fourth day, the army's nobleman appeared. Looking at the flag, he is the old Baron Arseny, whose uncle asks for his right arm.

Greet the baron with his uncle. The baron came here with the twins.

The moment she saw me, the baron looked surprised.

"This is the Princess! Are you safe? Thank Goddess Luminous!"

"It's been a long time, baron. What does it mean to be safe?"

Looking uncertainly, the faces of Uncle and the elders are dark blue.

"No, I'm sorry, because I didn't know that His Princess was here."

"What's the matter, didn't the baron come to see my letter?"

"Isn't it a letter from Her Imperial Highness? I haven't received such a thing. I learned about this royal capital two days ago, and I asked my Imperial Highness for instructions, but I didn't get a reply. I have done it. "

"Shit! You're done!

My uncle was excited.

Finally, I was able to understand what was going on. No messenger with my letter has arrived! ?

"You're done, Your Highness Princess. Perhaps they had planned for this many years ago."

"So who is my messenger?"

"It's probably annihilation. Probably they're hiding a few soldiers on the main road, trying to attack only a small number, like messengers."

"Conversely, if you are a group of people, you will not be attacked, but you will not be able to attack, so we will dispatch a scout squad with a group of people immediately."

Oh my God! Suppose they are so prepared.

Immediately, a number of scouts depart, as well as a squad to hunt soldiers off the highway.

After one, two, and three days, the squad returns and starts again.

Little by little the situation became clear.

The opponent must be about 40,000 troops, mainly army.

The aristocracy army from the south and the west joins the army one after another.

The main unit is marching towards the aristocracy who shows resistance, leaving enough force to surround the castle.

Negotiating to relieve the aristocracy on the condition that the castle was opened with the lords as hostages, surrendered and the family lived in the royal city, and they retired and gave up the aristocracy to the next generation.

The main forces of the enemy have already invaded deep into the east and north, and even if the nobles in the east and north try to join in here with soldiers, there is a danger of each being destroyed.

All this was just bad news. Receiving those reports, stunned in the middle.

This ally collects less than 5,000.

Meanwhile, my uncle called me.

"Soon ago, the horse of Earl David's castle, which had been resisting, had been dropped, and the enemy's main force came in as little as a day and a half so far."

I was half prepared.

"Ok, I'll show you the enemy even if I can't."

"It seems like Star Vine, that determination is wonderful."

"But I want the Princess to fall."

"It's stupid! Do you want me to be ashamed of living?"

"It's not a shame to live. Your Highness Princess will go to the Kingdom of Berta."

Bertha Kingdom? It must be a neighboring country, but it has the impression of a distant country because of its unexplored land.

"Although little is known about the Kingdom of Berta, Irena, the younger sister of Her Highness's grandmother Erica, is married as a regular room, meaning that Amada, the current king of Berta, is the cousin of Celia. I will. "

"Let's seek relief from the Kingdom of Berta?"

"Yes, but it won't be in time for this battle. On the contrary, if the Princess appeals, the odds of Berta's rescue will be extremely low."

Indeed, even if the Kingdom of Berta, on the contrary, has sought help from the Starweg Kingdom, it is doubtful that his father will rescue his subjects at the expense of soldiers.

"But we want to unite our hope. Even if it is torn and decay as it is, we want to someday revive the dynasty and dream of reviving the clan."

"If so, let my uncle do my thing, let's rebuild the kingdom together."

"No, I'm proud of my pride as the Star Vine family and the first vassal.

"If you surrender-"

I was quickly interrupted by my uncle.

"His Highness, given the relationship between my family and the Starvine family, life is not saved. However, even if other houses surrender and are relieved of a temporary life, they will eventually lose some sin. Being dressed and convicted is more obvious than looking at the fire. ''

Even if I leave the land here and account for Konoe, it has almost no strength. Then, as my uncle says, is it better to connect hopes?

My uncle kneels.

"Her Highness again, no, there is a ceremony that I would like to ask my Lord."

"Please"

"Your Ludvik family is heavily bleeding in your body. As a result of our clan's loyalty to the Starvein family for more than three hundred years, please revive our Ludvik family one day. I want to do it. "

No way.

"Okay. I'm sure I'll rebuild the Ludvik family with my direct line. I swear to the goddess Luminous."

Swear to the goddess Luminous with magic. The body glowed as proof that the oath was accepted.

"Haha! Thank you for your happiness!"

I was depressed. Then we are ready for departure.

"Here we have eight carriages. There are eight ways from here to the outside of Japan."

"The Imperial Highness Princess divides the guard into eight parts, attaches a guard to each carriage, and departs at the same time. Of course, for both the soldiers and the guards, which carriage is the Princess on board? Without telling me. "

"The destinations are the Kingdom of Cecilio and the Kingdom of Berta, but the way to the Kingdom of Berta is a road known only to local hunters."

"Most people will definitely be heading to the closer kingdom of Cecilio."

"Each of these carriages will have scouts and backpacking units. Despite the rebels, no troops will be deployed deep down the road to foreign countries."

"I'm sure there are strangers on my territory, but I don't think there's enough to be able to track in eight directions at the same time, with the spies and backpacking units."

Indeed, it seems to be perfect.

The time has come for departure. It is only my uncle and old family decree.

"His Highness, here. Just before the fall of the Royal Castle, my hand asked the Majesty to write. I'm sorry to give it up," uncle said.

It looks like three sentences on a piece of paper. At the top is the father's script, "Clearia, I'm sorry." Second, at the mother's script, "Be happy, Clelia." . All of them were written with handwriting that makes it clear that you wrote it in a hurry.

My eyes are blurred by tears.

"So farewell, uncle."

"Goddess Luminous! Good luck to Clelia"
