Risou no Himo Seikatsu

It's only been about a month for the New Year, one day.

The King's Capital of the Kingdom of Karpua was just a little more cluttered than usual.

"The Roster", which bears the names of all the royalty in the country, owned by the Crown. It's about a month since it was officially announced that there's a missing piece in that 'roster'.

I don't know if I might as well. Such a thoughtful local nobleman who has contacted the local area and brought a copy of the "roster" to Shanghai is currently packing it in the Wang capital.

Of course, unlike the case of Nilda Ghazir, they do not resort to ritual-like procedures in front of the vast majority. Civilians check copies in one of the Royal Palace's rooms, and Queen Aura just adds her name to the 'roster'.

As for the task, it is simple, and there is nothing wrong with it from a third-party point of view, but some parties are so nervous that they are likely to fall as-is.

Well, there's no way. If the "roster" is not re-registered, the person is not a nobleman.

For a human being who had already lived as an aristocrat for more than five years, it would be nothing but fear that he was suddenly put up in a position where it was said that "you are not an aristocrat", even if one possibility in ten thousand.

Nevertheless, those offering to re-register the 'roster' are still only large enough to be counted with both hands at the moment, and it can be said that very few of them are making noise over the 'roster' issue even if they include their relatives in the number.

The vast majority of noblemen are nothing more than free wild horses, and wild horse interests often do not last very long.

All the more so if there are other major events that attract the attention of the people.

Currently, the interest of the nobles packing in the Wang capital had shifted to the engagement of General Pujol of the Gijen family and Nilda, the second daughter of the Borderline Bo family in Ghazir.

"So you're saying that in the Ghazir Border House, mainly Miss Lucinda is moving?

"Yes, Mr. Borderline himself is only face-to-face with military acquaintances, and it seems that Master Lucinda is taking Master Nilda to attend social circles everywhere"

In a room in the royal palace, Queen Aura receives that report from a blonde maid who is also a spy.

The queen thinks with her hands on her chin, keeping her hips deeply down on the chair.

"Hmm. That means it's easier to refrain from approaching Miss Lucinda until Miss Nilda's marriage is over,"

It was the middle-aged secretary holding back who answered the Queen's question like a solitary.

"You're the one on the left. Miss Lucinda seems to be a local lord aristocrat and a woman with deep feelings for her blood clan. It is forbidden to make bad moves in the current state of our efforts to smoothly end the marriage of our sister, Lady Nilda."

The marriage of General Pujol to Nilda Ghazir is an application from General Pujol, but a never-ending fringe for the Ghazir Border House.

Nilda has a strong hairy color that is really poor on the side of the Kazir Borderline House because of the special circumstance that she grew up as a village daughter until she was tempted.

The Queen, who acknowledged the correctness of Secretary Fabio's claim, exhales one sigh.

"Don't be unavoidable. Should we stop collecting information for a while? But I can't get enough of that information. I was prepared to some extent, but with less information than I expected. Marguerite, how about after that?

The talked blonde samurai nods one "yes," then tells her of the unintentional consequences.

"It's not fragrant. Originally, the Ghazir Borderline Bo family focuses most of its efforts on local development, so few aristocrats have connections in the centre. Lucinda himself has hardly ever come out of the border territory, and there seems to be no flashy anecdote that spreads outside the territory."

"Hmm? You can tell me how smart and capable people are, but not to much of a rumor?

To the queen leaning her neck, the blonde samurai tells her to stay in her face.

"It must be because you are intelligent and competent. Because raising a woman's reputation will never produce good results in the values of the Southern continent"

"Hmmm......"

Queen Aura organizes information on the Ghazir Border House, based on the words of Margrethe.

"Surely, during the Great War, the Ghazir border uncle should have barely returned to his own territory, huh?

"Yes, because my eldest son, my second son, was killed in a series of battles, so Uncle Borderline was in command on the battlefield himself"

Secretary Fabio affirms Aura's inquiry.

"Three-male Chavier was still a grown-up during the war, wasn't he?

"Master Left. Sir Chavier was under Lucinda's protection during the Great War."

"What about the jury nobles of the Borderlands of Ghazir?

"The majority of the jurors over there are samurai. The main force was headed to the battlefield with Uncle Borderline."

"... I don't remember getting a report at the time that something went wrong on the border with Bahr el-Ghazir?

"There is no mistake in that memory. The fact is, the Bahraini border of Ghazir has not caused enough major problems to have to be reported in the centre during the Great War"

"How lucky were you?

To the queen leaning her neck with a frigid face, the detailed secretary replies affirmatively for once.

"Luckily, it would be an unmistakable fact. Because during the war, there never seemed to be a large-scale natural disaster in the territory or a powerful dragon species descending into the human race.

But I was wondering if Lucinda's arm was still big enough not to have any other problems that could normally occur. "

As the battle prolongs, the territory will probably cause more problems.

Especially in the case of the Bahr el-Ghazir border, the Lords are taking the lead and going to war outside their territory.

Leading forces, if I may say so, are young men in the territory. It comes with great difficulty that the countryside, pulled out of a young man as a force of war, does its job as before.

It's like suddenly being told to do the work the ten of us have been doing, so it's only natural that we can't do it.

Even if you manage to turn around if you are looking after a normal field, some jobs can't be done without manpower, depending on the season, such as waking up the field, sowing and pruning.

In that case, the neighboring villages accommodate less manpower with each other, but naturally there are a wide variety of problems there.

"From which village do you send people?" "Who guarantees safety on the road of travel?" "What about the difference between the treatment of villages that give large numbers and those that can only give small numbers?" Etc., difficult problems pile up.

So a territory where a lord headed by a leader is away will probably have a lot of problems, and if you can handle that problem at your own, you can call it a "good lord's proxy".

However, in the outer realm of Bahr el-Ghazir, it was said that such problems had never arisen in the first place.

"I mean, at the stage before the problem surfaced, I picked all the buds in the problem, right?

"Or didn't it really cause a problem, even once, without a multiplier?"

Aura took one big deep breath.

"... really, why did you remain anonymous until today?

To the queen's words, the secretary shrugs his shoulders small with leopards.

"If we are going to solve a wide variety of problems vividly, then whoever sees it will see competence in its eyes, because if we do not make the problem a problem in the first place, we will only be the Lord's Agent of the peaceful territories beside us"

"... but I'm getting anxious. If we pull Miss Lucinda out, won't the Bahraini realm of the Ghazir border stop spinning?

The queen exhaled a mixed sigh of emotions, both emotional and complex.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

Around the same time, Yoshijiro was in a room in the rear palace and had not had a lecture by Mrs. Octavia in a long time.

"... So you're saying that in principle all the land in the King's capital is privately owned by the Karpua royal family?

"Yes, as well as civilian private houses and shops, the noble Wangdu Mansion is also pre-built that the land is rented from the royal family. Although in reality, because of the economic revitalization of the Wang capital, the sale and purchase are normally liberalized except for the noble Wang capital mansion, and since the royal family never takes the land money, it seems that there are more people who do not know. The only exception is Viscount Regalado's mansion."

As a matter of course, now that we are finished listening to the common sense that we have initiated, what Mrs Octavia teaches us to the Lord is knowledge a little deeper than common sense, such as that of some nobles and some of them do not know.

"Viscount Regalado? Sounds familiar to you?

Mrs. Octavia explains to Yoshijiro, who tilts her neck.

"I am a nobleman of the King's capital, so perhaps Master Zenzilow is also facing the Lord once. I will be face-to-face with the Viscount's eldest daughter every day. Viscount Regalado is a family of former lords of the king's capital."

"Oh, speaking of which, was the Kingdom of Karpua once in transition?"

"Yes, it is said that when the territory of the Kingdom of Karpua expanded and inconvenience arose in the former King's Capital, the Viscount Regalado family, which just held the territory of the heart of the Kingdom, proposed to give its own territory to the Crown. At that time, only the Viscount Regalado mansion was defined as unique to the Viscount Regalado as it was. Other achievements at that time include a number of official positions in the Royal Palace as' designated seats' for the Viscount Regalado"

"I see."

Nodding as he was impressed, Yoshijiro leans his neck inside.

(When the feudal state transitions to the capital, is it something that local lords offer by advancing their own rule? Conveniently for the royal family, the message is threaded and the atmosphere seems to be bent. Ask Aura later)

Most importantly, the transitional capital itself happened hundreds of years ago. The correct history is likely to be lost even in the royal family. Maybe the truth is already beyond history.

He was a good jiro who was thinking about it, but I realize that Mrs. Futavia still looks like she said something.

"Oh, have I broken my hip in the story? Go on."

Sanjiro decided that she had stopped explaining because of what she was thinking, but Mrs. Octavia's insides were different.

"No, that's the end of the story."

"Mm-hmm? But I said something, and I saw it?

In the pursuit of Yoshijiro, the lady, called the lady's mirror, shyly swims her gaze a little, then makes her cheeks slightly reddish and confess.

"That's what I was thinking a little bit too. I'm afraid I'd like to take care of you, but has Master Zenzilow heard any rumors that have been circulating to the King's Capital lately?

"I don't mean to be collecting them intentionally, but inevitably don't come into my ear to some extent. Speaking of rumors that are making the King's Capital noise right now, is this about the 'roster'? Or the marriage of General Pujol to Miss Nilda?

Mrs. Octavia shakes her head small and sideways to Sanjiro, who listens back with some confidence.

"No. Neither of them. Nilda's sister, Lucinda's rumor."

Lucinda. When he heard the name, Yoshijiro trembles with his vikri.

Mrs. Octavia continues the conversation by pretending not to notice the reaction of such a king.

"I'm afraid to ask you repeatedly, about a month ago, Master Zenzilow had the opportunity to meet with Master Lucinda, didn't he?

"Is that a rumor?

With a desire to punch her tongue, Lady Octavia shakes her neck sideways on top of each other, to Yoshijiro, who lowers the tone of her voice slightly.

"No, vice versa. It's not a rumor at all."

"Mm?"

Good Jiro, who was not so perceptible, could not understand what Mrs. Octavia was trying to say.

Following that reaction, Mrs Octavia explains it politely.

"Master Zenzilow's side chamber problem is one where everyone is blurring their ears. For this reason, even if we just had a conversation for a certain length of time at a night club or a standing party, there are rumors of 'side room entry'. Lady Fatima of the Gigens, Lady Leticia of the Berbides Frontier House, Her Royal Highness Bona of the Twin Kingdoms, and even I, have been temporarily rumored."

The first three somehow remember themselves, but the rumor that Mrs. Octavia and I stood on the boulder was water in our sleeping ears.

Countess Marquez Octavia. As the name suggests, he is married.

From Yoshijiro's point of view, I can only be surprised, but when they say that much, I can see that this time Lucinda Ghazir is an anomaly that "has not been rumored at all".

Even though a girl who just spoke a little longer at a night club or as a tutor goes into and out of the backyard, a woman who is an authentic wife of a leading nobleman, even though there are rumors of a "side-room candidate," a one-on-one, unofficial, face-to-face woman, is hardly rumoured.

In comparison, it's obviously weird.

"So some deaf humans are tilting their necks. Only the response to Lucinda this time, no."

It goes up to rumors and acts natural but not rumors because someone is manipulating the information.

The identity of that person, to be honest, would be the royal family of Yoshijiro and the others.

And why, only this time, did the royal family, which until now had left the rumors to run, move to dispel them? When I think about it, some people come up with paradoxical thoughts.

That concludes, "Only Lucinda Ghazir is really a side-room candidate this time, so he's moving to information control".

"That's a misunderstanding. To Lord Lucinda, there is no fact that I have given special consideration."

The words of Yoshijiro, which are clear, are a complete fact. Neither Yoshijiro nor Aura have done anything so far.

It was Lucinda herself, who was completely unconscious, who moved.

If there are rumors with people like myself, it will annoy the royal family. Because of that idea, whenever I was waved in the social world to talk about it, I "solved the misunderstandings" with skillful discourse.

As a result, "misunderstandings were solved" by the vast majority of aristocratic societies, but they left a great deal of discomfort for those who sought to read even behind some of the information.

"Was it Master Left? However, some of the aristocrats who read in depth seem to be spreading misunderstandings. I didn't think I could offer it to you, but I dared you to advise me."

"No, the offering, etc., is outrageous. Octavia's advice is always hard to hear. Keep it up."

"Yes, Master Zenzilow"

Mrs. Octavia smiled like a broken flower and lowered her head small.
