This is what Elquille thought first.

What is this guy saying?

and.

Next: "Maybe 'nice wedding' is some kind of political cover-up?" I was worried.

So, marriage means alliance?

Want to make a nice alliance?

How is a nice alliance nice? To whom is it nice?

You want to have a good relationship with the Lemurian Empire?

No, not in that simple sense.

Generally in the Lemurian Empire, wives retain property rights even after marriage.

Does this mean that we will not give the administration of the Kingdom of Cerda?

I see, if you get invaded, you'll be deprived of executive power...

Surrender before then to secure minimum administrative powers.

Does that mean?

Actually, surrender is a sign of intent to "never give in to the Lemurian Empire" behind your back?

And I thought about it scattered...

(... like, a maiden in love)

Elsewhere with the distressing Elquille, Sonia said, "Cah, I said it!!" But he hides his face with both hands all the time.

And from time to time, with a decent eye, I ask how Elquille is doing, and when I look at him, I hide him in embarrassment.

The complexion is dyed bright red, and the beast ears are moving with a piocho and a tail ripple.

(Are you really, really saying that this guy wants to marry me in a pure sense?

Erkühl finally got to that possibility.

No way, would there be a woman who wants to marry a thinker but rebels for it?

Too much risk.

It's not a rational decision.

And while I think about it, Elquille whispers.

"Citrie, is this guy lying?

Citrie is a demon who breaks secrets.

Especially about romantic relationships, there are no demons in Citrie that rival each other.

[You didn't say... Sounds like you really want to get married, huh?... awesome, in my head, I feel pink. I think I'm already thinking about what kind of wedding we're having and what kind of clothes we're going to wear on the first night]

"Oh well..."

If Citrie says so, I guess that's true.

Elquille scratched her hair, bewildered.

(Well, what to do...)

Erkühl asked Erkühl with a soggy look on Sonia's face as she was worried about how to answer.

"Well... how about that?

"Huh? No, you're right..."

Elquille coughs deliberately.

"Princess Sonia, I've never been more honored as a man to apply for marriage to a beautiful woman like you"

"Oh, no! I can't believe it was both thoughts!

"... no, I didn't say that much"

Sonia taking just a social dictionary for real.

This is what love is all about when it says your heart is weird, Elquille thought.

"But... If it were to be me and your marriage, that is to say the synagogue of the Lemurian Empire and the Kingdom of Cerda, it would not be so easy to come up with an answer. Would you mind putting your response on hold for a while, since I will be discussing it with the ministers?

"Yes, I understand!

Sonia answers with a nico look.

In the meantime, Elquille breathes howlingly that the status quo has risen.

"Ah, if the Lemurian Empire and its alliance with the Kingdom of Cerda are to be an obstacle, I will relinquish the throne of the Kingdom of Cerda at any time! If it's just Sonia, there's no obstacle to marriage, is there?

"Yes, no, no, wait. Such things are mild..."

"Lightly, etc., no. I mean it!!

"Wow, ok...... ok, so calm down. It takes a little while to come to a conclusion. Until then... I want you to refrain from acting prematurely."

I have no interest in marrying Sonia who just became Sonia.

It is very difficult for Erkühl to be relinquished of the throne.

So when he stabbed the nail saying not to act prematurely, Sonia nodded with a full grin.

"So what should we do?"

Erkühr summoned the heavy ministers immediately.

It was the ministers deeply involved in national politics who were gathered.

Galphis, Christos, Lucanos and Todoris.

And Carolina, the queen, Shehrazard, an important connection to the kingdom of Fars, and Lunarier, the queen of the kingdom of Hayastan, who is united with you.

or more members.

It was Galphis who opened his mouth first.

"... Leaving aside her romantic feelings, is there anything to the detriment? As far as I'm concerned, there doesn't seem to be a big problem."

"Hmm... at the moment, judging by the information we know... the profits are bigger"

Elquille replied.

Erkühr was wary because he took it too far to the Lemurian Empire and it was a "delicious story".

If the poison is not planted, this marriage is merely a "delicious story".

There is no reason to reject it.

"I agree, Your Majesty. If we can absorb the remnants of the navy of the Kingdom of Cerda, there is no country in the Album Sea that can confront our country"

Once again, there exists a maritime trading country called the Republic of Adolria.

but if the Lemurian Empire and the Kingdom of Cerda unite with you, it is not enough to fear the Republic of Adolria or anything else.

"If you insist, you are anxious about the state religion, Your Majesty. Because we are Orthodox and the Kingdom of Cerda is Western. As a matter of course Western tolerance, Princess Sonia needs to be converted to Orthodox, and the kingdom of Cerda needs to be converted to Orthodox before it is built."

Erkühl is an Orthodox guardian.

There is no way that its Orthodox protector can be king of a western kingdom, even if it is.

In essence, anyway, in pre-construction, the Orthodox must be allowed to convert the Kingdom of Cerda.

"... well, it's on the extension line of the Teriportanian region. After that, if Princess Sonia responds to the conversion, we'll have a problem."

Erkühr whined inside that he would convert soon if that appeared.

It doesn't even matter if it's for love.

There will be nothing much to think about faith either.

"If there's a problem, is it a full or side room, isn't it?

Todris said.

In the case of the Lemurian Empire, it is the proper chamber to bear a child with the right to inherit the throne, and the side chamber to bear a child without the right to inherit.

So Carolina, Shehrazard, is his real wife, and Renalier is the sideroom.

Renalier is a mixed-race long-eared (half elf), so her son has no right to inherit the throne.

In the Lemurian Empire, which takes pureblood long-eared supremacy, you cannot succeed the emperor unless you are pureblood long-eared (high elf).

Of course, it is assumed in the doctrine of Messianism that all must be treated equally, even if they have more than one wife.

Religiously, therefore, there is no distinction between regular and lateral rooms.

but that's a pre-construction story.

In fact, the main room is treated higher than the side room.

Now, the question is where Sonia stands.

Given her pedigree, she has a reasonable side chamber.

Because she is not a pureblooded long-eared (high elf).

But I don't know if she and the Kingdom of Cerda will accept the position of sideroom.

The Kingdom of Hayastan was a small country, overwhelmingly superior to the Lemurian Empire, but also had no problems in the side chambers because of it.

But the kingdom of Cerda is a great power, and there are still things whose power is not insulted.

"... well, the treatment is normal, but you don't have the right to inherit the throne, okay?

"... isn't that in the side room?

"The neighborhood can only be misled successfully."

Worst of all, you may amend the law to make something like the middle between a front room and a side room.

Whether it's a regular room or a side room, etc. is just a matter of face and word play.

It is only good if Sonia and the Kingdom of Cerda are convinced that only the right to inherit the throne does not arise.

"What do you guys think?

Finally, Elquille asked Carolina, Shehrazard and Renalier.

Of course, in the patriarchal Lemurian Empire it is not necessary to take the permission of an existing wife for marriage.

but it's still a consideration to ask.

"I don't like little girls who say things about people like whores"

And Renalier said, arm in arm.

They don't like Sonia so much.

"But I am not willing to pinch differences in His Majesty's decision. … I'll get a chance to pay you back later."

"Well... if we're actually married"

I guess we'll be calling Nia and Alicia too then.

Erkühl felt a little sympathy for Sonia... though he deserved it most.

"I don't mind at all."

It was Shehrazard who said it with a smile with Nico.

The relationship between Shehrazard and Sonia is not so bad.

When Sonia was a prisoner, we were friends with each other.

Carolina is the same in that sense.

but Carolina had the look of how unconvincing she was.

"Is Your Majesty passive for marriage?

"What makes you think that?

"When marriage to her is in the national interest of the Lemurian Empire, I think...... Your Majesty seems to be looking for a reason not to marry her from earlier"

"... sharp"

In fact, if you're willing to get married, you can make up your mind as an absolute monarch.

It is not necessary to take the Minister's understanding, his wife's permission, etc.

But oddly enough, he asked the minister or his wife, "Can I marry you?" Hearing means Elquille is not riding.

Carolina had spotted it.

"I think she's a beautiful woman, and I think it's a good thing the Kingdom of Cerda stays available, but what doesn't Her Majesty like?

"No, well... you're right."

Elquille scratched her hair and said with a sigh.

"... hey, aren't you scared? Modestly, too heavy or out of your mind"

……

Indeed.

Together, I thought of Sonia's face, whose eyes were falling apart.
