The Latest Game Is Too Amazing
Lesson 47 Tea Party
His proximity called out to Viktor, who led the soldiers on their way back to the battalion.
"That was terrible."
"Yeah, honestly, don't clap your hands out when you're so warm."
The talks barely even spoke, as opposed to the opponent taking the lead, and Viktor himself was so stunned by the lukeness of the conversation, although things were conveniently carried too far on his face.
"Have you seen the rash on your surrounding face? I'm just a young minister. Perhaps the skilled minister was hit by a vampire."
"Young minister to the young princess. Were you powerless enough to serve His Majesty's opponent?"
"I don't have a choice. It had been examined that the princess was somewhat more emotional from the information she had obtained beforehand, and the minister was usually just a bunch of guys who had only about as much experience with paperwork as the talks. Negotiating in a foreign country requires talent, but above all experience. It won't help you any time soon where you've been entrusted with a major role. Perhaps the greatest damage caused by vampires is the loss of those talents."
Viktor also asked Clermont's information to be collected by the time he started the talks, but accepted that it was a more serious issue than the information.
"If it sounded like a king or a Duke of Chartel, it might not have been the same story."
"You lost a spare person. I would have liked to be relative. But this one's convenient."
Now that the upper echelons of the Commune are dead, only inexperienced young people are at the core of the politics of the Commune. The only way to proceed is by hand exploration without any forerunners in terms of diplomacy or home affairs. It's like going through a maze without a map.
Followed by dealing with short-term problems, it is easy to fall short-sighted without a long-term perspective. More rapid institutional changes within the organisation create confusion. The confusion is expected to spill over in many ways and to prolong.
In other words, the current commune is likely to turn to the rear if something goes wrong. Conversely, the actions of the Commune become easier to read. The Weixel Empire only has to anticipate that trend and move.
I wanted to compete with someone like the Duke of Chartel in Viktor's personal desire, but given the national interests of the Weixel Empire, the present state was desirable.
"But will the return of territory take place?
"Do it. But it's going to last as long as I expected. In some situations, they may disappear."
Viktor chuckled damned.
"Her Royal Highness made the wrong choice. The return of territory should have been a top priority. Even if the people were to erupt, if they were informed, they could also take action. I wish I could hit the Commune with that hand."
The butler's story is true. I guess that's why it struck the hearts of the commune's row attendants. It cannot be a mistake to think that we have to deal with it carefully.
But only this time, it's bad. It is like proving that it is right if you continue to distance poorly because you feel that the people who are becoming emotional have been abandoned by the government.
Of course Viktor doesn't think the Commune overlooked that point. I just couldn't make a choice.
The territory occupied by Weixel is so vast that it hits about a third of the territory of the Commune. There has been damage from vampires and wars throughout the territory, losing people and supplies such as lords and soldiers.
Naturally, if the Commune were to govern its territory again, what must be done immediately would be to help rebuild it. Lost personnel must be newly dispatched and support supplies transported.
But Northwest Commune is not the only place where vampires are harmed. Small and large but harmful throughout the commune, there is no surplus of human and material resources. In other words, there's not enough room in the Commune to accommodate human resources and support supplies in the northwest of the Commune.
In contrast, Weixel, a major power, suffered almost insignificant damage compared to the whole of the national territory, even if Brandenburg had a demonic invasion. It has sufficient national power to send personnel to other countries and transport support supplies.
There is also such insight that even if the vampire case is sedated, the Commune has to rely on Vixel.
"I think some nobles would like to receive it with this troop outpost, but what about your grievances?"
"Certainly there may be dissatisfaction not gaining possession from the occupied territories, but it would be nice to give them enough prizes. Whatever it is, you can give it part of your direct jurisdiction. This time it's not just an invasion, it's a march aimed at liberating the commune. No fool leaks his dissatisfaction with his voice, no matter how much he knows it's only nominal. Besides, the damage to the occupied territories is more serious than expected. You wouldn't even like to have a land like that."
Nor are the nobles fools. Some realize that this battle is not for justice. Still, it was only in the national interest and in his own interest that he kept his mouth shut.
The result cannot be said to have sufficiently met their wishes. However, given the cost and time involved in reconstruction, there is no way for a profit-savvy aristocrat to get his hands on it, no matter how much it is the center of the deal and the land on which revenues can be expected in the future. Not to mention the fact that Viktor declared that he would return it to the Commune, which was beyond his control.
"Give unlimited priority to supporting the occupied territories. Plus, there's a chance that vampires will attack. Based on that, we need to form a supply unit."
"You're going to need a pretty massive force."
"I don't mind. Trade between nations is being destroyed by vampires. The merchants' legs are far away if the streets are not guaranteed safety. Let's have an impact on our country's economy in the long run. By sending massive support, even externally, some more have favorable feelings for our country. Especially to the people of the occupied commune. We are just to them."
The more support you give, the more trust the people in the occupied territories put in Vixel and make him raise resentment against the Commune. Even if the territory is returned as it is, it is not strange whenever there is a revolt. Even if it was fanned by Vixel's conspiracy.
Viktor is a young emperor. His tenure should extend to decades and long periods. Even if the Commune can't take it now. Ten years later, twenty years later, when we fought the Commune, the people of the present occupied territories would raise their hands and welcome the Vyxel army.
I will penetrate the poison a little bit for that. For one day this poison will cover the whole of the Commune.
"I can't get anything just because I'm holding my hand. That mistake will be expensive, Your Highness."
"And that was surprising. Miss Alexia."
Slightly Victor's face turns to a fed up look at the words nearby.
"I thought they were a little more intelligent, but should they be called little daughters even though they are virgins?"
It was Alexia's actions that betrayed Viktor's expectations in the talks. Stuck in the emperor's words, stuck to one man and exposed her emotions, her appearance was so heterogeneous that she thought she was separate from Victor's knowing girlfriend.
"That obvious reaction. Maybe he thought it was cold because he wasn't there."
In Alexia's past, there was no such thing as emotion, but a girl who followed the emperor's life and acted pale. But it looked like the girl's emotions had sprung up since she fought at Clermont.
(No way, you mean love sprouted and gained emotion?... Impossible)
Viktor shook his head in order to shake off his imagination, which was so stupid.
It was my first ear that Alexia knew that man. It is obvious from the fact that he has been called a teacher that he is also a close friend, and it is reasonable to assume that he has had feelings for a long time. In other words, you should assume that you have regained it, not that your emotions have sprung up. Perhaps Alexia's arbitrary breach of orders in Clermont was also due to her knowledge that the man was in Clermont.
"Are you glad you left me as a messenger"
"I'm more anxious to use Alexia as it stands. Now Alexia could disobey orders, commune over, no. Move for that man. It would be more useful to use it for the Commune."
It is also difficult to let go of her compelling as a serene Virgin. Then I'll have to induce her to use it better than to rebel.
"Oh, let me just say no to the Lord of Zavalish, who is persistently saying the Virgin to the Queen. No matter how politically married you are, you don't need a woman who's in love with another man and moves on her own."
Viktor was thinking of Alexia as one of the candidates for political marriage, a talented and beautiful Virgin. But Viktor is also unwilling to ask someone in a political marriage for compassion, but he is unwilling to welcome a woman into another man's life who behaves badly.
Zavalish principals who persisted in trying to get in were also stubborn. It's just the right reason to keep away.
"Are you a magician named Kaios in the example? It just seems mediocre."
"Me too. Even the talks seem to be trusted by the princess, but that's all. Even if you have magical talent, don't you have political talent? But."
It is not normal to involve Kaios, an exotic, in talks with other countries. We should consider ourselves gaining strong credibility from Roslyne.
But in the talks, he didn't act voluntarily. Perhaps they are just ordinary people and ignorant of politics. Because no matter how familiar you were with magic, that doesn't necessarily mean you're familiar with politics. It is also possible that he is acting with respect to his position as an exotic.
And there seems to be no mistake that he is the same person as Kaios, who is also looking for news in the Kingdom of Castal due to his matching appearance.
(Why did you get into the princess of the Commune?
If you have an easy-to-understand ambition to approach the royal family and gain access to the powerful, you know.
But if you are ambitious, it is better to take it into the Kingdom of Kastal. He's already selling his favors in Castals, so he gets a lot of treatment if he wants to. Not to mention that Kastal has more national power than the Commune. If you want to take it in, you better think about it in terms of the future, Castall. Did you think that you could not take an important position because of the great power?
Kaios doesn't seem very interested in such things as honor. So much so that I agree to save one city and lightly cover up the fame of defeating Alexia, who worked in the battle against vampires. Probably doesn't even consider that an honor. It may have something to do with Alexia's acquaintance.
It also shows that Viktor was lightly flushed even when shaken when he gave him status.
Should it be a coincidence that she then entered the princess? But if it's a coincidence, why do you keep staying in the Commune? Behavior is too altruistic without too much greed.
Too little information about Kaios for Viktor to understand his purpose of action.
According to the information Viktor grabbed, he only grabbed it about three or four months ago, when he appeared in a village in Kastal. Even though the Kingdom of Kastal has been investigating the news of Kaios, it is also vague when he visited this continent. Even though it is rare on this continent, such as a brunette boy, he does not know how to visit the village, and no eyewitness testimony has been conveyed before that.
But I had a conversation with him at this meeting, and I got some new information.
(Alexia called Kaios a teacher. That means I had an acquaintance with Kaios. Besides, it's not an overnight connection when it's as deep a bond as a mentorship. I mean, it's a muscle to think that Kaios stayed in Vixel for a long time, too)
Viktor didn't miss Alexia.
Until now, Viktor thought that Kaios had traveled by road from Castal to Commune. If he used dragon flights to move around, check the airport and we can find out the footprints right away. There's no way Castall, who was searching for Kaios, wouldn't check the airport first.
Then Kaios will be traveling by carriage or foot. It was natural to assume that we had traveled by carriage from Castal to Commune, even if we thought about the distance travelled and the number of days.
And from the chronological sequence of the eyewitness testimony, the location where the presence of Kaios was first confirmed is a region of Kastal. So Caios was the first country to visit this continent was Castal, and Viktor was under the illusion that Caios had never made it to Vixel yet.
But if the preconditions were different. For example, if Kaios had visited this continent a long time ago, and the first country he visited was Vixel, and Castal, and the Commune, in turn.
"Find out what Alexia did before she became the Virgin. Alexia and Kaios are familiar with each other. Then there must be contact. Probably after the magic school."
This is not the case with the opportunity for a prestigious nobleman to make contact with a mere adventurer.
Viktor thought it was unlikely that a demon mentor equivalent to Alexia might have been invited as a teacher by the Zavalish principals. There is no way such a person could be anonymous first. And no matter how strongly Zavalish's lord's desire for power is, he is a man and talented enough to have survived as a prestigious nobleman. There was no way such a person could not have been taken under his umbrella knowing that Kaios existed.
Then the period during which Alexia was enrolled in the School of Magic would be the easiest period to come into contact with Kaios. It overlaps at a time when Alexia was known as a fallout at the School of Magic before she was called the Virgin.
Viktor couldn't understand how unambitious Caios got into the royal family of the Commune.
Of course Rosline hears that the late Duke of Chartel now also heavily used Caios in his vampire crusade. I thought that was because he was a magician with more than the same strength as Alexia.
If the Duke had noticed the peculiarities of Kaios as well. Maybe Caios wasn't trying to get into the royal family of the Commune, but the Duke was trying to get into the Commune so he wouldn't miss Caios.
(Then the Duke does a pretty nasty thing too)
Isn't it clinging to some weakness and holding Caios back to the Commune? That was Viktor's decision.
(Suppose Alexia learned the unknown magic also by its caios for a moment - haha, what is the power of God)
In my mind Viktor was evil against the Church.
Alexia is a magician called Fall in the Magic School of Vixel. If it was Kaios who, as Viktor imagined, raised the girl to be such a powerful magician as to be called the Virgin.
That the wisdom of its magic guidance can be given to others, not the grace or blessing it gave to a particular someone from something obscure like God.
Moreover, the period during which Alexia was enrolled in the School of Magic is short. Probably less than a year into contact with the adventurer.
- That is, by instructing Kaios, we can mass produce a magician with comparable strength to Alexia in a short period of time -.
"Ha, sir."
A laugh came naturally out of Viktor's mouth. Alexia, even if only one person could have taken advantage of this war, that's more than one.
If Caius can spread the guidance he has given Alexia and mass-produce powerful magicians, the Weixel Empire, which has many magicians, has a military advantage over other countries. You can have an army of invincible magicians who will no longer even deal with Castal as well as the Commune.
You can ask Alexia directly what guidance she received from Kaios. But more than that, it's not a good idea for another country to know the value of Kaios. Even if it was not possible to keep the existence of Caios secret, we had to ensure that Alexia's relationship with Caios was not passed on to other countries. We have to do whatever we can to secure Kaios' condition.
Thereafter, it is advantageous to have a comune that is currently deeply related to Kaios. If Kaios exists as Viktor imagined, then when Kaios attributes it to the Commune, he shades Viktor's ambitions.
Is Rosline realizing that Kaios is enough to upset the military balance of the country and putting it aside? No, Viktor thought that was unlikely. If you had noticed, you would have immediately obstructed Viktor's solicitation and Kaios' response. Probably only about the same strength as Alexia.
Then enough can be attached. Kaios revealed that he had not yet attributed it to the Commune. Roslene doesn't deny that either. Then it would be possible to recruit him to Weixel enough.
Alexia will be sick of him as long as she gets Kaios. And it may even be possible to reign on this continent.
Viktor regretted that he should have seriously solicited it.
But how to cage a man without ambition. Kaios is a young man. Is it possible to fish with passion? Do you want to use Alexia? But at the moment, Alexia couldn't read Kaios' feelings about Alexia anyway.
Viktor thought that far and looked at himself strangely and couldn't wait.
I ended the talks with the Commune with very little effort, because I was no way the feather of being haunted by the presence of just one man, and I had found it enjoyable.
Tea is poured into Kopokopo and cup.
That's all. I don't know, this tension. There was a terrible strained air. I'm not even allowed to blink. It is such a tension.
The following and serious face of Alexia, who is pouring me tea. Mr. Irene is wondering if I can help him or not.
Roslene doesn't make it faint either. It must be in this air.
"Go ahead, Doctor"
The cup is offered by Alexia, who is so full of spirits that she has finished her work.
I say thank you and try to take it and drink it, but I can't help but worry about Alexia's gaze.
Her gaze is fixed on the cup. While standing beside me, I can't drink under pressure from Master Alexia, who keeps watching the cup with prayerful manoeuvres.
Dear Alexia, I wonder if you're used to making tea or something. She's a noble lady, and she may be taking care of herself by Mr. Irene.
Have a sip of tea, such a cup of her soul.
"What do you say?
Alexia asked me without putting my hair in. I don't know how good or bad tea is, but I think it tastes good.
"Delicious. Thank you, Alexia."
Alexia chuckled because she got the answer she wanted.
"Why don't you have a drink, too, Mr. Irene?
"No, I won't. … I don't want to drink tea for a while."
It may be scary for Mr. Irene to make him mainly make tea.
I don't think Alexia would be offended to that extent, and you don't have to be so reluctant because you seem tired somewhere.
Well, does the place weigh itself as Alexia's squire just for the place?
"I'm having a noble lady make me some tea... Um, is it so urgent to call an upper-class tea party? If that's the case, I'm glad I'm civilian."
"About this time. It's too easy to understand..."
Roslyne sighed deeply as Liam whispered to the Havoks.
"I wonder if he's really the same person. That's a whole different impression from the first time we met. I don't really think she's the Virgin."
"No, it's been like that since I was reunited with Mr. Kaios."
"Yeah, when we were fighting. It could have been."
Cornelia and I met after the battle with Alexia. Did it look like a crazy fight from their point of view?
"It's not a crazy fight! Chi, chi, crazy talk fights and such lovers do things to each other..."
"Dear Alexia, it's not convincing to be disputed with such a face!
Mr. Irene advises Alexia to hold her cheeks with both hands and be shy as she blushes her butt.
"Wow, this kid is too easy to understand. She's cute even though she bruises. It's natural even though you don't seem to be after it. It kind of reminds me of her."
"Wow, I can't believe the bullies at our party are messing with someone. That sounds like a surprise, to be honest."
"Tomorrow I'll shake a hail."
"Ugh, you guys! I'll bust you later, so be prepared!
Havok and the others who answered the usual conversations of the party members with their usual knolls. But he panicked. Apparently, he completely forgot that the princess was present.
"Nevertheless, were we, no, could we also be called to this occasion"
"Never mind. I took care of you guys in this riot. I wanted to thank you in person. Not just as a princess of a country, but as an individual. You're the only ones left, so you don't have to mess around."
Roslene expressed her gratitude to Havok, who seemed uncomfortable. That sentiment is conveyed, but I'm just confused without knowing how to respond, just when the average person is thanked directly by the highest authority in this country.
No matter how private and relaxing they tell you to be, it's a good place to be unscrupulous. Instead, you won't be able to relax because you've become conscious.
In my case, I'm just reopening it to say that it's easier to talk to Roslyne if you're about to go outside and be surrounded by the people. Because she's a real princess, it's really wrong to deal with her this way.
But in a private place, there was only one other way to reopen it, than Roslyne herself had publicly stated to treat it the same way as before.
I am now invited to a tea party by Rosline in a room in the Royal Palace. It was very private and only Alexia and Irene and Havok, including myself, were invited.
Then, when the tea party began, Alexia offered to act as a tea, and she continues to do so.
Drinking tea with everyone in this way is too peaceful to make them feel that there was just a war on top of being occupied and ruled by vampires until recently.
But they actually happened, and there was a lot of damage. Because that allowed me to recognize that this world was not just a game.
"Caios, there are many soldiers and people saved thanks to you. So you don't have to worry about it."
Will it ever be so? I went back to this world and tried to stop the war, but I felt empty in the end.
Of course I have no regrets about my return to this world. I can tell you it was a good thing that the war ended.
But the only reason I came back to this world was because I just wanted to help Roslene and Alexia, I didn't want them to fight, I just acted like that. I wanted to stop the war, but there was no solution to the end of the war.
So it's also because of Alexia that the war is over, so honestly it's not perfect to be told that it's because of me.
"The northern information is finally coming through, and the vampires' damage is coming to an end."
"North? You also figured out the situation in the Northeast?
From the moment we retrieved Clermont, he said he couldn't get in touch with the north. The Northwest was attacked by the Weixel Empire, a powerful country located to the west, but the Northeast was unexplained. Perhaps the vampires were blocking the information.
"Oh, finally. It seems the vampires were still involved. It's unclear how we learned about this trend, but the blockade seems to have been lifted since the Clermont crisis left. Probably decided it made no sense any more. I can get in touch now. I don't know what I'm going to do next, so it's not all settled."
That's good news. I'm anxious about the actions of the escaped vampires, but it's huge to be able to get in touch with them everywhere.
"According to a report by the Duke of Numur's envoy, the Northeast was also attacked by vampires. The Duke of Numur also said he escaped the territory once, although he fought. He tried to contact Clermont, but once he fled the country, he couldn't take it."
"Outside the country? When it comes to a country close to the northeast of the Commune, the Kingdom of Castal?
It is the Kingdom of Castal when it comes to states east of the Union of the Communes.
"That's right. The Duke of Numur, unable to communicate with the center, asked the Kingdom of Kastal for rescue and said he had sent troops. I am now focusing on the annihilation of the remnants of the vampire party. They also do less harm to the people. Apparently, there are fewer vampires than in the Northwest, and this is the prevailing war situation. I also owed a great deal to the Kingdom of Castal."
Saying so, Roslene lowered her face.
Even though it is a matter of urgency, I feel it is likely that one nobleman, without the permission of the princess, obtained the cooperation of another country on his own initiative. But I guess I'm more than happy to think of the people. I'm more than happy for Roslyne that the people were saved.
And the other day must have been a terrible memory.
Not only was the damage done to the people by vampires, but she lost many of her uncles, the Duke of Raoul de Chartel and the castle minister, including her parents. It has also been denounced by some of its own citizens.
Still, Roslyne was acting the same as before. Maybe she's fine, but I couldn't read the difference from her expression.
"So you're sending reinforcements"
"Oh, we're going to lack the strength to defend Clermont, but we can't just not let him out. Lord Alexia, I would also like to ask the Weixel Empire to cooperate. Could you please tell His Majesty the Emperor?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Is Roslyne going, too? To the Duke of Numur."
"I plan to."
Roslyne goes to the battlefield. There may have been something I thought about the Duke of Mayenne. Then I'll come with you.
But can you fight a vampire opponent? A vampire who looked like a man.
I haven't fought a demon once since I realized that this world is different. I'm a little concerned about that.
"Kaios, do me a favor."
Roslyne speaks with a strange look. Is this about accompanying me after all?
"Will you stay away from Clermont for a while?
"That means you're coming with me?
"No, it's not. It means you should stay away from the Commune for a while."
"Should I not be here?
"Your Highness, would you like to say that the presence of the teacher is in the way?
"Don't get me wrong, Kaios or Lord Alexia. I personally want Kaios to stay. But now that Kaios is in Clermont, there's a problem."
Roslene sighed troubledly.
"Kaios, are you willing to be a nobleman of the Commune?
Roslene said that all of a sudden without context. Pompous and repulsive of what she said.
Become a nobleman? Are you kidding me?
I shake my head and deny it.
"I guess. Doesn't seem right for nobles."
I don't know about the disorientation of the nobility, and I don't know what duties and rights arise when I become a nobleman, but I'm very unlikely to work for me if the government that the nobleman Rosline, who I saw closest to me, usually performs as a nobleman.
"Perhaps you have a story about bringing your teacher to nobility?
"Oh, you're right. There is talk of narrating Kaios to the aristocrats. Besides, I'm going to recite it to a nobleman with a title."
"Title ⁉ Does that mean it will have territory ⁉"
"It's impossible to have territory all of a sudden!
Havok and Liam pinched their mouths listening in silence. How shocking was that?
Emilia supplemented me by not understanding what I was surprised by.
"Nell, who was less involved with the exotic Mr. Kaios and the country, may not know the government of this country in detail, but clearly speaking, the nobility of this country is divided into nobles with titles and nobles who do not. It's normal to earn a title after becoming an aristocrat if you are, and suddenly you can't get a title without it."
Is it like becoming president at once from a regular employee based on the modern man's sense? That is certainly an anomaly.
"Well, if it's about merit, then Caius is right."
"Well, Doctor. Congratulations."
Liam, who was surprised, was calm and convinced, and Master Alexia celebrated with joy.
"Such an exaggeration of merit."
"You're the only one who thinks I'm exaggerating. You saved the princess of a country, helped her defeat vampires, and worked hard to reconcile her with the Weixel Empire. What do you call this without calling it merit? Perhaps there's nothing else in line for Kaios' accomplishments in this series of disturbances."
Roslene disproves with an awkward look.
"That's just the problem. Many nobles cooperated in the Clermont recapture and defense. What happens when the exotic Kaios are the best feat and nothing is rewarded for Kaios? Once the others have been rewarded, they will be condemned by their surroundings and will not be able to reluctantly receive the reward. Prize must be properly punished."
"You're giving the teacher a title as a reward."
"That's the thing. But I don't care if you give me a reward that Kaios himself doesn't want. And even if all of a sudden we have territory, we can see that both the lords and the inhabitants are unhappy with each other."
"That says the teacher doesn't have enough weight to rule the territory."
Insurance mixes with Alexia-like's voice.
"That's right. Reconstruction is a priority."
"Could it be where the vampires attacked you?"
Roslyne nodded with a stiff nod.
"Some of the candidates were from a region in the northwest of the Commune. The people of the land have a deep grudge against the Commune government. So I was wondering if the exotic Kaios would lessen some of the evil feelings of the people."
Roslyne said with a bitter look to throw it away. I guess from the look on her face that doesn't really impress me, this proposal isn't her. But you asked me if she wanted to be a nobleman directly, so she might be rebelling against the idea, but she thinks it's worth a thought.
"I don't have enough experience just ruling the territory over Kaios"
"Then why don't you put someone in charge of internal affairs?"
"That's a good idea. But even if Kaios had just enough arms to rule the territory, he needs more manpower to rule the territory. Not one or two people. You can hire them locally, but you shouldn't be able to expect them because it's a vandalized territory. But Kaios is an exotic, isn't he? There can't be a minister like any other nobleman, and there's no nobility of a guardian. Do you have a handout like that for Kaios?
Even though it's me in real life, there's only so many people I know in this world right now. There was no way there was such a handover.
"It's an embarrassing story, but neither can I afford to just introduce the proper"
There will be no one available in this castle, as will the left-hand transition if Roslyne tells you to go under the emerging nobility.
"That's why I'm not willing to make Kaios a nobleman. I think it will take the form of a medal instead. But if I do any more credit now, I won't be able to contain my surroundings. So I want you to stay away from Clermont for a while, away from me"
If she's right, I don't want to be a nobleman either, and I think I'd rather stay away until most of it cools down.
No, the vampires themselves settled in the first place. Maybe we should get away from this world.
"It's just that this is my convenience. I can't stop you from leaving this country. Because you're not my minister."
Roslene's eyes are shaken. Seeing that look, I remembered that time. Somewhere sad and somewhere lonely. Behind her then.
I can't be beside Roslyne forever either. But.
"Okay, I'll be away from Clermont for a while."
Let's hide ourselves temporarily, as she says. Because now I thought she still needed support.
"Is that so…… thank you."
Roslyne smiled.
"Mmm."
The noise sounds loud. The Lord of the voice is Alexia. She swelled her cheeks and wrinkled between her brows. Kind of childish.
"What is it, Master Alexia?"
"Nothing!
Master Alexia turned to her face. They've spoiled my mood.
If I have to get away from Clermont, do I refrain from logging in for a while?
"Uh, Your Highness. Are you sure you want to offer?"
Havok spoke.
"Yeah, I don't mind. What's wrong with you?
"Kaios is going to be away from Clermont for a while, but if it's only temporary, you'd better refrain from going far."
"I just need you to stay away while I root it out and tweak it. Kaios can use metastatic magic, so he should be able to return soon if he's in the country."
"Then I can guess. Hey, Nell. Why don't you accompany Kaios on our journey?"
"You're letting me stay in my hometown settlement. It's a distance from Clermont, but it's an elf colony with little interaction with people, so it might be a great way to hide itself. I don't mind. Kaios would welcome it."
With that said, I heard Cornelia's hometown was a commune before.
"What do you say, Kaios? Why don't you come with me?
"Well, shouldn't I be with everyone anyway?"
... That might not be a bad idea. I'm afraid to fight demons, but there's also a desire to learn more about this world.
"Then it's settled. Well, for a while, thank you."
Saying so, Havok grinned.
After the tea party was over and the Caios left to set up their journey schedule, it was Roslene and Alexia, and Irene, who stayed on the spot.
It was Alexia who stopped Roslyne. Unlike earlier, there is no soothing atmosphere.
"Your Highness, may I ask you a question?"
The look on Alexia's face asking was serious and she felt the extraneous pressure on her skin to let her answer without saying yes or no for the sake of words she was trying to forgive.
"…… What is it, Lord Alexia?
"I understand why you keep your teacher away from Your Highness. And the detriment that happens when the teacher recites. But that's no reason to keep your teacher away from Clermont. If you want to avoid merit, you just need to keep your teacher waiting without going to the battlefield. And yet what the hell is the reason to keep your teacher away from Clermont?
It sounded like Alexia didn't have enough explanation for what Rosline had revealed at the tea party. Maybe her teacher had noticed and dared to leave it, but Alexia couldn't overlook it.
Kaios' position is unstable right now. Even though it has so much visibility and fame in the Union of the Communes that it is second only to Rosline, it is only an exotic and a civilian.
So maybe someone will show up to use it. Like when his own father tried to take Kaios, a brilliant magician, into the faction.
Even though it is a pleasure to be a feat and a nobleman, Alexia could not have seen such a man approaching Kaios in bad faith.
"Have they noticed? There is certainly something about me lying down on that spot. One way or another, I noticed Lord Alexia, not against Kaios."
"Does that mean it can't be revealed to nobles in other countries?"
"No, it's only about Lord Alexia personally."
A question mark comes to Alexia's head in Roslyne's words.
"Lord Alexia also knows that Kaios is in a precarious position. So naturally the nobles are also acting to join their own faction. The problem is the means to get into this faction."
Alexia wondered if there was still such a move. But still, it doesn't seem like a reason why I can't reveal it to myself. After all, her questions remained sunny.
"There are several means to say you can join a faction. What do you think are the commonly used means in that?
Alexia can't come up with the right answer right away. It was Irene, her squire, who gave her such a help boat.
"Is it marriage?
"Become ⁉"
Alexia was struck by the unexpected answer of her squire. But on second thought, it is common sense for nobles to engage each other or marry each other politically in order to forge a deep relationship. Not to mention there's no reason not to use that hand on a young, single Kaios.
Rosline also nodded that was the correct answer.
"So, but. The teacher is a civilian. There's a difference in identity, no matter how much."
"That's why we talked about reciting Kaios. If you say you have a title even as an emerging nobleman, you can also marry in a house of character there. Besides, you don't have to marry anyone in your own family, even if it's a highly qualified house. You can marry someone from a nearby house who belongs to the same faction and form friendships."
Alexia can't argue with the answer. Noble connections are wide. You will soon find an elderly woman who fits the criteria.
"The teacher, the teacher... yes! I'm sure my fiancée will grab my love because I'm usually unfathomable when I get married! You can't get married!
"It's just a political marriage. Compatibility is second to none. Besides, you might find a woman who fits well. But it's awful to be caught loving because you're unfathomable. If he hears about it, it'll hurt him."
"……… Yes"
Alexia was depressed as a pussy when she found herself laughing at Roslyne's words and found herself saying things that were disjointed.
"That's why while I'm away from Clermont, when a leading nobleman might come into contact with Caios. It's troublesome when a royal family pinches its mouth on marriage. And when that happens, it makes it easier for me to talk to you, so I thought about avoiding contact between Caius and the nobles."
Since the vampire incident, it had been a vendetta in the eyes of the nobles that she was using him heavily because Rosline kept putting Caios aside.
If he were such a nobleman, he would certainly be an important presence at the core of the country in the future. Even without becoming a nobleman, it was never a bad thing for the next queen's trust to bond friendship with a thick figure.
Still, the aristocracy extended itself to interacting with Caios simply because it did not have time to devote to it, because Caios' information was scarce and he was identifying himself, and because he was exploring trends in how other factions moved, because he was a benefactor and a guest of the princess of Roslyne, and most importantly because Roslyne was beside him.
It is easy to predict that the nobles will soon come into contact once the situation has calmed down and Rosline has turned her eyes away.
"Kaios is unfathomable and there are some clumsy things about him. I don't think I can turn down the invitation of the aristocrats to use manipulation. I can't believe it's been flushed and spoken down at some point."
There was also a verse in Alexia that came to mind.
"Yeah, I can see that. He's pretty out of it. It wouldn't be a coincidence if they took a nasty word for it by talking to them. I mean, doesn't he understand the other guy's mind, or was he made to do it every once in a while?
"Right, there certainly was!
That's what happened earlier. Caios had a good vibe with Roslyne. I wanted Alexia to realize how I felt, although I was very dissatisfied with it and self-absorbed.
"But it's not all about faults. I don't care what you think. He's so sweet that he doesn't abandon me."
"Yes, it is!
This man understands Kaios, Alexia thought. This was the first time anyone had ever talked about Kaios in this way. That's why she glances at the story. In short, Alexia was floating.
That's why...
"You must have been attracted to that place, huh?
"Yes! …… ha ⁉"
It was too late for Alexia to understand what she said. Irene, his squire, takes a deep breath.
Alexia lets her mouth pound and sees Roslyne, but all she had to do was smile. Alexia's face turns bright red even though her head turns bright white.
"Drawing stars....... yeah? You thought I hadn't noticed."
As a princess, Roslene laughs with her face. Alexia shook her head vertically.
"... Yes, that's what I thought. Perhaps Irene had noticed."
"I've noticed that for a long time now. Do you mean, it took me half a day yesterday to practice knowing that Kaios would be attending a tea party or not and wanting to have decent tea, right? You can't work so hard on someone you don't even think about."
As a practice opponent, he continued to drink tea for half a day, and his squire, who was pushed to the point where he was no longer nauseated when he saw tea, grudged the Lord just to say here. Alexia's color of despair darkens. The squire relentlessly poked a new despair at the Lord.
"Finally, Havok and the others who were here were aware."
"Well, if you show your behavior towards Kaios in front of everyone, you'll notice how blunt it must be."
"Shit, no more"
Alexia groaned with a voice that seemed to disappear with tears on her face as she lay low as she was embarrassed.
"Don't worry. Kaios is definitely blunt."
"…… that's complicated."
Alexia raised her face slightly and replied.
It's embarrassing to be enlightened by others inside your chest, and I'm glad that's not noticed by them. Still, I honestly can't be happy that the other person hasn't noticed even if they act as easy to understand as the surroundings notice. It makes me wonder if I'm not interested in myself.
"I know you do, but what's ahead of you is the way to go."
It does not match in Alexia, an exotic and civilian, Caios and a prestigious noble. Unlike then, the girl was called the Virgin, and the boy became called a hero. The relationship remains much the same.
Even if Kaios became aristocrat in the Commune, I don't think the Vixel Empire would let go of Alexia, the Virgin. Even if Kaios became aristocrat in Vixel, his family would not fit in with his emerging aristocratic counterpart and the children of a prestigious aristocrat.
It's nothing more than a dream story for the two to be united than to claim that they don't want to be aristocrats in the first place.
"I tried to give up because of the difference in identity once."
I was desperate when my father stuck me with the fact that I was not in a position to fall in love freely. I cried that I would never see my master again.
If you can't be beside him, at least you took part in this fight to make peace with the country he traveled to.
And we met again.
That's how she was reminded. No, you're right that I remembered.
"But after all, I like teachers."
Alexia smiled with a troubled look.
I had closed my heart so much that I would never like someone again, but the moment I was hugged, I couldn't stop feeling overflowing.
If you can break off your thoughts so easily, you won't be distressed by this thought that you can't contain or do anything about. Keeping thinking of him, as Roslene said, is a tsu road and unlikely to pay off.
But still.
It's not much harder than where I was desperate. Rather, there is even a sense of pride.
"So you can't give up"
Take every step of the way, no matter how late you are, no matter how far away you are from that guy. Let's get there one day. I'm much more hopeful than I was then when I gave everything up and was closed. I just think so, and Alexia was happy.
"Well, what is it? That was an extra favor."
Roslyne blushed a little in her thoughts about Kaios, conveyed from Alexia.
"No, I think you're clumsy."
They laughed bitterly.
"It's a tough future, isn't it? Because I don't even know what it feels like to be a key teacher. I wonder if the teacher thinks anything of me."
Alexia said a common problem with a falling maiden.
"I can assure you that's not gonna happen."
Roslene immediately denies it.
"The newspaper when Vixel invaded also had the name of Lord Alexia. At that time, Kaios messed up so hard that he didn't show up for a while. It must have taken me a while to get back on my feet."
"No, the teacher."
"That's all Kaios cares about. Good for you."
Alexia's cheeks blushed.
"But on the contrary, that's all his heart is broken, delicate."
Kaios will never be ruthless enough. That led to the inability to abandon Rosline and Alexia and to intervene in wars in other countries.
Roslene was worried that if he had brought everything in at this rate, it would lead to his destruction one day.
"He's not as brave a hero as anyone around him would say. I'm not the perfect hero."
Now that the feat is too conspicuous, the heroic statue of Kaios walking alone will cover up his true appearance and be swept away by it. But it is no longer possible to decide that it did not.
"If you like him and want to walk side by side, please support him."
Roslene also wants to help her benefactor, Kaios, but there are limits to that and she has a position. So one or more, I needed a Caios understander.
Even though Alexia, who knows Kaios well and admires him, is a nobleman from another country, Rosline expected him to support her.
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I've always been on your side."
"Then don't worry."
Roslene breathes relief in Alexia's answer, which is not false.
"You've guided me a long time about my teacher, Your Highness."
"He's been helping me ever since I left Clermont. If it weren't for him, I might not have been here. So I want to do everything I can."
"Actually, I was anxious. His Highness and his teacher were quite close to each other. So much so that I get disrespectfully jealous. I was so proud of His Highness."
Roslene was flabbergasted by Alexia's words for a moment, and blew them out.
"Well, that's what Lord Alexia thought! It's about the same age as a man I'm close to. It is only natural that Lord Alexia should be anxious."
And Roslene had a mean smile as to whether she had come up with something.
"There's nothing to be anxious about. I would never get along with Kaios like that. Because conditions are tougher than those of Lord Alexia. But either Cornelia or Emilia are more dangerous. As far as you two are concerned, there's nothing romantic about you and you seem like a buddy, but if you relax, you might make a mistake."
Saying so, Roslene makes fun of Alexia. Looking forward to seeing the mundane Alexia, Roslyne was the very girls who were interested in the love story.
"I'm jealous……? But I..."
As Alexia was concerned, Kaios' position in the Commune is unstable. The content revealed by Roslyne is only part of it.
The Episcopal of Caios. This was not just an attempt by the nobles to strengthen the faction by taking it into their own faction.
It is hard to say that the Union of the Communes has friendly relations with the Weixel Empire. No matter how many vampire exterminators he was offering to cooperate with, there was no way he could completely de-alert his opponent once the blade was pointed at him.
If the two countries were to be at war again, Alexia's presence would be a major threat. She entered the princess Rosline's place alone and her figure, strong enough to defeat her without taking the life of her escort, planted a vivid impression on the soldiers who were protecting the royal palace.
Nobility of the Vixel Empire, no matter how much they call it the Virgin. I don't know when I'll be hostile again.
I'm sure Roslene won't be hostile to what she actually talked to, but that's only because she talked to Alexia in person, and only as an individual.
In case of hostility, the Commune does not have the strength to fight Alexia together. But the only one who left Alexia is in this comune. That's the exotic Kaios. His presence becomes a trump card against the Weixel Empire.
Viktor's solicitation of Kaios in such a fold makes things suddenly change. It became known around him that his stay in the Commune was temporary and that it was not strange to leave the Commune at any time.
That is why some nobles are plotting to retain Caios in the comune at all costs and to clarify his belonging. It's like connecting a beast with a collar.
Roslene seemed angry, but their actions were not a mistake in the national interest. And only a part of them can agree with their opinions.
Roslene didn't trust Viktor, the Emperor, about the Weixel Empire. This is not based on clear grounds, it is based only on her account.
The attitude of improving relations with the two countries, such as the first apology and the return of territory, would appear to be Viktor's honest response to the Commune.
But she couldn't get over the idea that he was up to something behind it.
You can't let your guard down. That's why I couldn't let go of Kaios. At least until it's clear what the Weixel Empire is thinking.
Roslene felt that the situation had to be rectified.
It is not desirable for a situation to rely on an individual who is not his or her own people.
It's not noticeable because there's so much that makes him a hero, but there should also come out something that neglects him and makes him dangerous. As he increases his influence in the Commune, so does the force that makes him dangerous.
I wish I could settle it gently when it does, but in case anything happens that would harm the hardliners of the forces that make them dangerous by scorning Kaios, I won't even be able to see it.
That could really turn Alexia against the enemy.
Alexia has more influence than you can imagine. If you do poorly, it will be a total war against the Weixel Empire that is behind you. If that happens, that tragedy will be repeated again.
What is desirable for Rosline is to gradually get out of Caios' dependence, to restore the country and eventually free it from this country.
I can't tell them this.
It seemed to me that I was badly preying on my friendship with the country and using my friends.
Alexia was pure compared to herself like that. Can I think of someone as straight as that? Pure Alexia looked terribly blind to Roslyne.
"I'm so proud of you, Alexia."
I had a cold cup of tea, and Roslyne was all alone.
