"Bye, Karen. Report."
"Ha, so let's start with when they come to the fortified city..."
After Kazuya and the others left after finishing their greetings with Queen Isabella, one of them left Karen to report to Queen Isabella.
- That's it.
When Karen finished her conversation by describing what had happened so far, the room was creepy and quiet.
"... I know exactly what you're talking about. That we have to change our perception of them."
We were watching them downstairs, and our judgment was a terrible mistake.
The overwhelming strength of the Parabellan army in the battle in the fortified city had been communicated beforehand to Queen Isabella and the nobles by Maria, but the story of Maria was not believable if it came from the Queens of Isabella, who did not see the power of modern weapons held by Parabella, and because Maria's story was abstract and obscure in many ways, the Queens of Isabella had decided on their own that Maria would overestimate the Parabellan army. And looking at the brief material that Maria had brought to the king's capital about the land area of Parabellum, the military force, and so on. Queen Isabella and the others had made a cheap decision that the kingdom of Canary was better off.
Of course, some nobles called it dangerous to belittle Parabellum in the absence of detailed information in view of the fact that the Parabellan army had repelled the Imperial Army from the Kingdom of Canary, but they thought that the small country in the dossier - an army of nations with small territories and only tens of thousands of troops - had been able to prevail over the Imperial Army because they were lucky as a result of a combination of luck, Queen Isabella and the nobles instantly blued their faces when they heard Karen's experiences in Parabellum and the horrific strength of modern weapons, and inside the lookout room.
"If they were such a mighty nation, as the Duke said, wouldn't our attitude earlier have been unsavory?
"Yeah, sure. But given that we had to judge the Duke only on those few materials until we heard about him, wouldn't we be able to do so?
A fat nobleman, who was nearby when two nobles were talking to Boso in the teeming lookout room, suddenly came into the conversation shouting out loud.
"Doesn't that matter!! What a story if you kill that man within the present with few escorts!!
The other nobles around when the fat aristocrats uttered the radical word said rushing to deny it.
"Try that!! We'll be killed by the soldiers that brought us here better!?
"What are you weak about!! If you're listening to the Duke, they don't have any special powers when it comes to crossing people. There's only one magic on top, Fuhrer. Right!! You have nothing to fear about those morons!! Besides, we only have a small territory that can't even reach half of our national territory, can we make a big face with the barbarians of small countries from different worlds!?
A fat nobleman whose self-esteem is twice as great as a person and is stained with magical supremacy told him to ask the nobles around him.
"Were you really listening to the Duke? True, they have no special powers, and magic can only be used by Lord Nagato, but they use powerful weapons made of science!? That's why the empire, which is following an army of more powerful wizards and soldiers than our country, lost. We can't even beat the Empire. We can't beat them."
"We would have come to the conclusion that it was simply overlapping luck that they were able to beat the Empire. If we kill that man and attack Parabellum once and for all, we're bound to win."
"How can you be so optimistic... Besides, we only know that Parabellum is somewhere beyond the Great Sea Plains, so where are we going to attack? Are we going to look at the many islands floating in the ocean, one by one, to find their country? Later, the Duke would have found out that it wasn't luck or anything that the Parabellans were able to beat the Imperial Army, right?
"Mmm... that's..."
Inside the chamber, nobles developed their own arguments and were filled with contending voices of their own free will.
"Silently."
When Queen Isabella speaks out, the room quietly returns in an instant.
"Karen, I ask you, the lady who has seen the realm of Parabellum"
"Yes."
"In case we're going to fight Parabellum, can we win that fight?
"Unfortunately, to be clear, it's impossible to beat Parabellum."
After listening to Karen's words, the nobles made another noise with Zawazawa, but Karen ignored it and took out what was while spinning the words.
"The reason is that the military power of Parabellum, the national power, is not comparable to ours. The other nobles who saw Parabellum in the fortified city would say the same thing about me. And look at this."
"It's... what?
"Kaz - a gift from President Nagato."
Queen Isabella opened her eyes and was surprised to see the two white objects that Karen had given her.
"Is this... salt? No way...... so pure white - there must be salt with no impurities mixed...... Besides, what's this tight wrap?
"Your Majesty is right. It is salt. The other is sugar. It seems that the package is called vinyl."
"No way..."
When Karen signaled to the guards, large quantities of salt and sugar packaged in vinyl were brought into the chamber of sight, and twitching also occurred from the nobles who saw it.
"This is part of an item given by the President of Nagato as a sign of friendship. Ten tons of salt, ten tons of sugar, and about 20 tons of peppers, chillies and other spices."
"Not so..."
Queen Isabella, who was given large quantities of salt and sugar, which should be a sign of friendship but an expensive product, finally understood the difference between the isolated national power of the Kingdom of Canary and Parabellum. Speaking of the other nobles, I had not already heard of Queen Isabella and Karen and nailed them to the salt and sugar piled up in front of me.
"With Führer Nagato - you have to form an alliance with Parabellum at all costs..."
When Queen Isabella decided on the policy of forming an alliance with Kazuya and whine small, a person appeared to dispute the whining.
"Your Majesty, you won't be."
"Prime Minister Raben..."
Queen Isabella was challenged by Chancellor Reben, an old man with tremendous power even said to surpass Queen Isabella and rumored to be the shadow ruler of this country.
"If you have a strong army, you must move towards territorial expansion and bring us..."
"Prime Minister Raben. Don't worry about that."
It was Karen who stopped Prime Minister Reben from saying anything that was challenging Queen Isabella.
"... what do you mean you don't have to worry about it?
"It means exactly what you say. If they're going to keep our country in their hands, they won't bother to burn down the unusual breeding grounds of demons or drive away the Imperial Army and help us."
"... hold on, Karen. Is it true that Führer Nagato burned down the unusual breeding grounds of the demons!?
Queen Isabella pinched her mouth when she heard Karen's newly revealed facts.
"True."
"Well... then we've already been helped by the Führer of Nagato three times"
"Yes, and their philosophy is expressed in the country name. He says the meaning of the country name is' If you want peace, prepare for battle '. I hope for peace, but it's a mighty army of the late, so I wonder if we'll ever start a new fight ourselves."
……
After listening to Karen, Prime Minister Raben shut up to think about it.
――――――――――――
All the nobles and knights left, leaving Queen Isabella and Karen alone. Earlier, more sensitive information had been exchanged and more detailed reports had been made.
"- I have received confirmation from the Führer of Nagato himself that Parabellum will lend a hand to the Kingdom of Canaries. But when it comes to war with the Imperial Army, he said he would be thorough in his defense and backward support. Exceptions can only be made if a crosser comes out."
"So... the Parabellan army will fight with us if the Empire attacks our kingdom again, but if we attack inside the Empire, it will only provide backward support unless the crossers come out, right?
"Yes. I thought you were right. Führer Nagato doesn't want territory, and he hates losing soldiers in vain."
"Yes...... You did a good job. Karen, we'll start negotiations on the basis of your information in the talks that follow."
Queen Isabella was instantly assembling a policy of how to proceed with the upcoming talks with Kazuya after hearing Karen's information.
"So, Karen?
Queen Isabella, who consolidated her policy, gave Nico a delightful grin by changing her serious expression.
"... what is it?
I wonder what you think of the Führer.
"What!? No, um... Your Majesty?
"You can't hide it, can you? You are too aware of the Führer. At first glance, I know what you think of the Führer."
After being lightly spotted by Queen Isabella for her feelings for Kazuya, Karen turns bright red and leans down, asking herself if she was that easy to understand.
"So what do you say, Karen?
Queen Isabella asked Karen with her eyes as if the carnivore was huddled with prey.
"Your Majesty is also a bad person..."
Karen sent her flattering gaze to Queen Isabella. I said it like I had noticed after.
"... I'm in love"
"Oh!!
Even though Queen Isabella let herself throw up when she revealed her thoughts small as Karen turned bright red, she made fun of Karen by looking surprised and not just saying she'd just found out for the first time.
"Heh, sire!! Play is too much!!
"Oh. Did I overdo it a little bit? I'm sorry."
Queen Isabella honestly apologized when Karen told her like she was angry. And then I turned my merciful gaze to Karen and said:
"Then you don't have a problem. Your meeting with the Führer after this meeting...... no. I'm proposing marriage."
"Heh, Your Majesty, what!?
"As usual, I guess Illis is going to do this role of deepening the ties between the two countries, but Karen's had a lot of help so far, so we need to be happy..."
We have to keep our ties to Parabellum as strong as we can now, and President Nagato seems to have been aware of Karen, so that's just fine.
"... thank you for your concern. Sire."
Not knowing the inside of Queen Isabella, Karen stared flashly at Queen Isabella's face with a red face for a while, but at the end of the day she thanked her with a joyful voice.
――――――――――――
The talks to conclude an alliance between Parabellum and the Kingdom of Canada did not go too far against expectations.
As a result, although the alliance has been formed, so far the treaties and arrangements concluded by the alliance have generally decided to change or add them from time to time.
A military alliance based on an inviolability pact... looks like you're on guard about us.... Well, it was a habitat of demons. Not to mention in the woods without returning. I've built my base on my own within the territory of the Kingdom of Canaries. There's also this fallout... This jizzy.
It was, for one thing, Prime Minister Raben's fault that the alliance could not be concluded.
Despite the fact that Queen Isabella certified the construction of the base with ex-post consent at the beginning of the talks on whether or not Parabellum and the Kingdom of Canada would form an alliance, Prime Minister Reben raised the point that he had built the base in the territory on his own without the consent of the Kingdom of Canada and told the Kazuyas to show their sincerity, forcing them to make concessions and adding a number of treaties in their favor.
For this reason, all the humans on the side of Parabellum were irritated with blue muscles floating on their foreheads. Especially in the millennial age, he was on the verge of exploding and shivering with anger at the attitude of looking down at the chamber and this side of the kingdom of Canary (Kazuya) at this meeting.
"Hmm... now we have an alliance, and I beg your pardon."
Prime Minister Raben said that only to disturb the scene and even though the talks were not over, he took the hipster wipes and left the room. The soldiers of Parabellum dropped off Prime Minister Raben like that with a shot to death.
"I'm sorry. Führer Nagato."
Queen Isabella, who had more power than herself but was therefore unable to say anything about the unattended attitude and conduct of Prime Minister Raben, apologized to Kazuya shortly after Prime Minister Raben left the room.
"It's not Queen Isabella's fault, so don't worry."
Kazuya, who knows to some extent the internal context of the power struggle within the Kingdom of Canary, accepted Queen Isabella's apology.
That's how the atmosphere in the room was so bad that Queen Isabella was not sure how to mention her marriage to Karen after this.
That's when all of a sudden Illis came into the room. Behind it was a guard standing in front of the room grated with a bright blue face.
"(a), Illis? Why are you here?
…… Wasn't it over yet, Mother? "
Queen Isabella revealed her surprise at the sudden entry of Elise into the room, and Queen Isabella's escort erected a magical barrier. But Iris doesn't mind that. When he comes to Kazuya in a straight line, he just says it's his own place, and he just sits on Kazuya's lap and rubs it against Kazuya.
As Queen Isabella and the nobles who were in the room watched and solidified, and a thousand years old grabbed his fist and shook with wana wana, anger and jealousy, Iris released a bomb statement.
"Yes, Mother. I will marry your brother!!
……
"No... Iris, I thought that story was over earlier..."
Needless to say, frozen talks were abruptly interrupted inside the room by a bomb statement by Illis.
